"Teacher, during this time, I want to go to the Heaven Dou Empire to watch the games of other teams."
Lin Ye paused and added:
"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger."
"I want to see with my own eyes how much weight the teams that can make it to the finals have."
This is said in a high-sounding and flawless manner.
But only Lin Ye himself knew that his real purpose was to see how that little brat performed in the competition.
Bibi Dong sat on the throne and nodded slightly when he heard the words.
Lin Ye's caution is exactly what she wants.
"Okay."
Just when Bibi Dong was about to explain the precautions, Zhu Zhuqing on the side suddenly spoke.
"Teacher, I... I want to go too."
Zhu Zhuqing raised his head, with a bit of seriousness in his beautiful eyes:
"I also want to see the strength of other teams and prepare for the next finals."
Her reason was quite convincing.
But Bibi Dong is not blind, this girl clearly doesn't want to be separated from Lin Ye.
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Ye, then at Zhu Zhuqing, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.
"Go ahead."
Bibi Dong waved his hand and said calmly:
"Be safe and don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of trouble either!"
"When it comes to the Heaven Dou Empire, keep a low profile and don't expose Spirit Hall's identity."
"Yes, teacher!" they both responded in unison.
"In addition." Bibi Dong's voice suddenly had a hint of meaning,
"You two... be more careful outside."
This statement is ambiguous.
But both Lin Ye and Zhu Zhuqing understood it.
Zhu Zhuqing's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly lowered his head, wanting to stuff his head into his collar.
Lin Ye was very thick-skinned, and said solemnly:
"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my junior sister."
Bibi Dong glanced at him and said nothing, just waved his hand to signal the two of them to leave.
When the two figures disappeared at the entrance of the palace, Bibi Dong shook his head gently and smiled helplessly.
Young people...
After the Papal Palace came out, Zhu Zhuqing was blushing and silent all the way.
"Big Cat, why are you so shy?"
Lin Ye leaned over with a smile.
"Who is so shy!" Zhu Zhuqing glared at him,
"I was thinking... what should I pay attention to when Heaven Dou Empire arrives."
"Oh?" Lin Ye responded with a smirk on his face.
Zhu Zhuqing was too lazy to talk to him, so he quickened his pace and walked in front.
The two returned to their residence and simply packed their bags.
In the afternoon, a black-covered carriage stopped at the side door of the Papal Palace.
According to Bibi Dong's instructions, this time we drove lightly without revealing our identity.
The carriage headed east, passed through the official road outside Spirit City, and headed straight for the Heaven Dou Empire.
The next night, the carriage finally drove into the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
From a distance, you can see the towering city wall of Heaven Dou City and the densely packed torchlight on the city wall.
The carriage stopped at the city gate.
Heaven Dou City's city gates are not closed even at night. After all, it is the imperial capital, and the flow of people entering and exiting every day is terrifyingly large.
The soldiers guarding the city made a routine inspection and waved them through.
The carriage slowly drove into Heaven Dou City.
"It's been a year." Lin Ye opened the car curtain and looked at the brightly lit street outside the window.
"This Heaven Dou City really hasn't changed at all."
Both sides of the street are still lined with shops and restaurants, with an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.
Heaven Dou City is indeed one of the most prosperous cities on the mainland. Even at night, it is very lively.
Zhu Zhuqing also came to the window, his cold eyes reflecting the lights outside the window.
Suddenly, her nose moved.
A sweet Sisi aroma entered the car along with the night wind.
It tastes like candied haws.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up instantly.
"Big bad guy!" She suddenly grabbed Lin Ye's sleeves, and the cold pride in her voice shattered to pieces.
"Hurry up, let's go buy candied haws on a stick! Heaven Dou City's candied haws on a stick is the best!"
Lin Ye looked down at his wrinkled sleeves, then at Zhu Zhuqing's anxious little face, and smiled helplessly.
"Okay, okay, you greedy cat, don't worry, the candied haws can't escape."
"Hmph, what if it's sold out!"
Zhu Zhuqing No matter what the image is, he just opens the door and jumps down.
Lin Ye quickly followed, grabbed her waist, and landed her firmly on the ground.
"What's the rush? Watch out for sprained feet."
"You have a sprained foot!"
Zhu Zhuqing shook off his hand, smelled the smell and walked forward.
Lin Ye shook his head and followed closely.
The two of them turned two corners along the street, and the entrance to the night market was right in front of them.
Lanterns were hung high, people were buzzing, and the aromas of various snacks were mixed together and hit our faces.
Zhu Zhuqing's footsteps are getting faster and faster, and his eyes are scanning back and forth between various stalls.
Lin Ye followed behind with a smile on his lips.
Just when the two were about to step into the entrance of the night market,
Suddenly a frightened female voice came from the alley not far ahead.
"Help! Help!"
Zhu Zhuqing's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Lin Ye also raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound.
I saw a young woman wearing a plain sarong, stumbling out of the alley on the side.
Her hair was disheveled, one of her shoes was missing, and her face was full of frightened tears.
"Someone come and save me! Please!"
As the woman ran and looked back, she stumbled and fell directly to the side of the road.
Immediately afterwards, a figure chased out of the alley.
It was a fat man wearing a bright red robe.
He has a chubby body, and the flesh all over his body trembles when he runs, like a rolling red ball of flesh.
The fat man still had a most obscene smile on his face, and shouted while running:
"Girl, don't run away! Come with me. Although I, Ma Hongjun, may not look that good, I am Soul Master! If you follow me, you will be prosperous and wealthy..."
Lin Ye: "..."
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
The two of them froze on the spot at the same time.
This voice, this body shape, this outrageously obscene way of picking up conversations...
And that face, with three hideous claw marks on the right cheekbone!
It's Ma Hongjun! The genuine Ma Hongjun!
Before Lin Ye could say anything, Zhu Zhuqing beside him was already stiff.
Her eyes tightened and her teeth clenched.
An unpleasant memory suddenly came to mind,
one year ago.
In a small town outside Star Dou Great Forest.
At that time, she had just come out of Star Dou Great Forest with Lin Ye,
However, it was in that town that this wretched fat man and that beast Dai Mubai blocked her way.
Dai Mubai hugged two women with heavy makeup and touched her.
Ma Hongjun was whistling and making obscene remarks.
When she resisted, they took action.
Dai Mubai is White Tiger Martial Soul. At that time, Soul Elder was in her thirties, and she couldn't be beaten head-on.
She was beaten so badly that if Lin Ye hadn't taken action, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Zhu Zhuqing's right hand was shaking slightly and he couldn't help but clenched his fist.
The humiliating feeling of being humiliated and bullied is still unforgettable even after more than a year.
And this wretched fat man in front of me,
The three claw scars on his face were exactly what Zhu Zhuqing left when he fought desperately.
"Big Cat."
Lin Ye's gentle voice sounded in his ears, which just brought Zhu Zhuqing back from that memory.
She turned her head and met Lin Ye's steady eyes.
Lin Ye didn't say anything, just reached out and pressed her shoulder.
The familiar strength and warmth gradually relaxed Zhu Zhuqing's tense shoulders.
"Come on, let's go see what's going on."
Lin Ye After finishing speaking, he strode forward.
Zhu Zhuqing pursed his lips and then followed.
