Two Paths (I)

"I didn't expect you to still have the courage to come here... Do you think you haven't lost badly enough?" In front of the Flower Path of the Blue Tyrant Academy, Yu Tianxin looked at Yu Tianheng Yu Tianheng and the Royal Fight Team behind him. Even though she was alone, her arrogant tone remained unchanged. "Tian Heng, the one who summoned us is you and me. You brought these people with you here, are you planning to challenge Blue Tyrant Academy again?"

"Who are you?!"

"Can't you even speak properly?!"

"We... we only lost once!"

"You can't get over a loss from two years ago, can you?"

Yu Feng pointed at Yu Tianxin's nose and shouted loudly.

Compared to Yu Feng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Oslo were more composed.

The most composed of them all is Yu Tianheng.

"Alright." Yu Tianheng knew Yu Tianxin's temperament. Yu Feng might perceive Yu Tianxin's words as a provocation and a questioning of the Royal Fight Team, but as his cousin, he knew Yu Tianxin always spoke in a way that was sure to get him punched. If Yu Tianxin had a problem with him, he would definitely use physical force, not words. Just like two years ago when he challenged Blue Tyrant Academy, Yu Tianxin took advantage of his injuries and beat him up again, claiming it was to teach him a lesson on behalf of his aunt, Liu Erlong, for being a traitor. He stopped the indignant Yu Feng: "That's indeed what he instructed, but he also said I should invite Yu Feng, Lingling, and Yanzi on his behalf, without specifying the reason... By the way, do you know why he invited you and me?"

"How could I possibly know..." Yu Tianxin shrugged nonchalantly, cracking a lame joke, "It couldn't possibly be that she's after our bodies, could it?"

"This joke isn't funny..." Yu Tianheng quickly interrupted Yu Tianxin. If it were just teasing his cousin's sexual orientation, it would be fine, but Ye Qingcang was a God Trial Taker and also his aunt Liu Erlong's adopted son. No one could say for sure whether Ye Qingcang would get angry because of this, "To be honest, I received a personal letter from the clan leader, telling me to come and obey his orders. It seems like he's entrusted my Destiny to him. My intuition tells me that something big is definitely going to happen here..."

"I also received a personal letter from the clan chief." Yu Tianxin interrupted Yu Tianheng. Being straightforward has its advantages; unlike Yu Tianheng, she didn't have to be hesitant and indecisive. "It's similar to what you said, also telling me to obey his orders... Since the clan chief wrote it like this, you shouldn't overthink it. Just obey the orders."

"That's true..."

Yu Tianheng seemed to want to say something.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue, so he shook his head and swallowed them back.

He gestured for Dugu Yan and the others to follow him.

I stepped onto the Flower Path, which was flanked by True Meaning Tree.

Yu Tianxin followed suit.

They walked all the way to the end of the Flower Path before they saw Dugu Bo, dressed in dark green light armor, standing respectfully behind a blonde girl, like a loyal old servant. This caused Yu Tianheng and the others' expressions to change repeatedly. Only the unaware Yu Feng wanted to ask loudly, but before she could speak, she was stunned by Dugu Yan's greeting. "Grandpa, what are you doing in the Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Violet needs no introduction.

More than two years ago, it was Violet who gave them a crushing defeat that lasted less than a minute.

That was the first time Yu Feng had ever suffered such a crushing defeat since birth. Even her speed, which she was so proud of, was no match for her overwhelming strength. She was forced to withdraw from the battlefield under the relentless bombardment from the enemy's range, which had no blind spots.

But this is just a battle between peers.

It's different from seeing a titled Douluo.

She knew that Dugu Yan's grandfather was the famous Poison Douluo, which was no secret in the Royal Fight Team; but for her, a member who joined the Royal Fight Team later, this was indeed the first time she had seen a living Title Douluo, which was a completely different concept from the psychological state and pressure she had felt when she met Violet before.

Although these are all psychological effects.

Violet has mastered the Stellar Martial Arts Chapter 1 to perfection, entered the fourth sublimation stage, and Soul Power Level of 42, is no weaker than Dugu Bo. Although she cannot defeat Super Douluo above level 95, she has no problem fighting against Title Douluo below level 95. She is evenly matched with Dugu Bo.

"How old are you? Still so impulsive. Be more ladylike..." That's what he said, but Dugu Bo still doted on Dugu Yan. Looking at his granddaughter running over, he first tapped her forehead, then rubbed her head. Perhaps, no matter how old Dugu Yan was, in her grandfather Dugu Bo's eyes, she was still a child who would never grow up. "Grandpa is here, of course, because Grandpa has joined Blue Tyrant Academy!"

These words elicited various thoughts from the crowd.

But Dugu Yan's thinking was simpler.

"Grandpa," she asked curiously, "I heard that Dean Liu of the Blue Tyrant Academy is Soul Douluo... Since you joined Blue Tyrant Academy, you'll be the vice dean, right?"

"This... um... more or less... I guess more or less?" Dugu Bo was immediately embarrassed. He could tell the truth, of course, but his prestige as a Title Douluo would be shattered instantly. Even being a follower of Ye Qingcang was better than his current status. Right now, he couldn't even control his own life or death, let alone be the vice dean. He wasn't even as good as an ordinary student in the Blue Tyrant Academy. He stammered for a moment, secretly wiping away a cold sweat, and quickly changed the subject. "This Miss Violet and I are here to pick you up. Also: Yanzi, remember this, you may encounter the greatest opportunity of your life. You must seize it firmly, understand?"

"Understood." Dugu Yan didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Dugu Bo's words, but that didn't stop her from agreeing first, and then asking, "Grandpa, could you be more specific about this opportunity you mentioned? What exactly is it?"

"It's nothing." Hearing Violet's sudden cough, Dugu Bo's heart tightened. He didn't dare to give his granddaughter any more preferential treatment. After giving a perfunctory reply, he handed over the initiative to Violet: "Miss Violet, everything from now on is up to you."

"I will report to Master truthfully." Under the strange gazes of Yu Tianheng and the others, Violet responded to Dugu Bo's entrustment in an equal tone. If you listened carefully, you could even hear the tone of a superior giving orders to a subordinate. But it was only a short sentence. Before Yu Tianheng and the others could think about it, Violet brought the topic back. "Master has been waiting at home for a long time. Everyone, please follow me."

Go ahead.

Dugu Bo wanted to give his granddaughter a few more words of advice.

But he dared not.

Titled Douluo are very rare.

But it was very cheap for Ye Qingcang.

If Dugu Yan hadn't already lost her virginity, and if Dugu Yan hadn't already fallen for someone else, he would have even urged Dugu Yan to pursue Ye Qingcang. That's reality; even the food scraps Ye Qingcang casually tossed aside could feed an ordinary Soul Master to the point of being full, or even bloated, and change Soul Master Destiny.

Unfortunately, Dugu Yan is no longer qualified to fight for it.

Even he, as the grandfather, could only offer a cautious hint to Dugu Yan if he wanted to remind her.

He could not bear the consequences of making it explicit.

He sighed, stood still, and waved.

They watched Violet leave with Yu Tianheng and the others.
