You Actually Took Advantage of Me, on the Eve of the Competition

Qian Renxue, who had been hugging him, suddenly stiffened.

Rebellious daughter?

She thought she had misheard, but at such close range, she could have heard even the buzz of a mosquito clearly.

No one had ever called her a rebellious daughter before. That brat Su Yu had actually taken himself for her father.

"Brat, you actually dared to take advantage of your sister. Your nerve is really getting bigger and bigger."

Qian Renxue took a step back, placed both hands on Su Yu's shoulders, and began shaking him wildly, using more and more force.

Before Su Yu had recovered from having the wind knocked out of him, he suffered a second round of torment.

"Big Sis, wasn't I just joking? How would I dare take advantage of you?"

Su Yu hurriedly explained.

"You still dare argue? I think you just want to be my father!"

Qian Renxue was furious, practically wanting to swallow Su Yu whole.

"Big Sis, you're wronging me. Besides, if I were your father, wouldn't this make you unfilial?"

Su Yu blurted out.

"What?"

Qian Renxue's anger flared. He actually dared talk back.

"Xiao Xue, don't get worked up. Xiao Yu just didn't want you hugging him."

Azure Luan Douluo hurriedly tried to calm her down.

He had originally wanted to watch the show from the side, but he realized that things were starting to go in the wrong direction.

"Third Grandpa, this brat just wants to take advantage of me!"

"If I don't teach him a lesson today, how am I supposed to be his sister in the future?"

Qian Renxue was extremely angry, wishing she could hang the brat up and give him a beating.

Taking advantage of the moment Qian Renxue paused, Su Yu immediately reached out, grabbed both sides of her waist, and tickled her.

"Ha..."

Qian Renxue could not help laughing, her arms beginning to go weak.

Seeing this, Su Yu increased his efforts. Once he determined it was about enough, he immediately took several steps back to open up some distance.

"Xiao Yu!" Qian Renxue shot Su Yu a glare.

"Big Sis, don't be upset. Wasn't I just joking with you?" Su Yu said with a smile. "Besides, you ate my Immortal Herb and now you want to beat me up. Can your conscience bear that? I'm your only little brother."

After playing the emotional card, his words left Qian Renxue speechless.

"Fine, fine, you win." Qian Renxue nodded helplessly.

As his older sister, if she kept dwelling on it with Su Yu, she would only seem too petty.

Su Yu smiled. "That's more like it."

Azure Luan Douluo nodded. "In that case, let's head back. Xiao Yu can also take part in the competition hosted by Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

"Xiao Yu, if you can't win the championship, just see how your sister whips you!" Qian Renxue glared at him.

Afterward, the three of them returned to Heaven Dou City.

After traveling for some time, by the time they returned to Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue had already become Xue Qinghe.

After getting out of the carriage, Qian Renxue still complained, "I still prefer my real body."

"Big Sis, just wait a few years. Once you take over the Heaven Dou Empire, I'll take over the Star Luo Empire too. Then Big Sis can become the Pope."

Su Yu said with a smile.

"I hope so, but we still have to wait."

Qian Renxue sighed.

"Grandpa Azure Luan, sorry for the trouble, but please notify Grandpa Qian and have his side send someone to help Zhu Zhuyun." Su Yu said.

"No problem." Azure Luan Douluo nodded.

Su Yu headed for Dugu Manor.

Azure Luan Douluo immediately summoned Snake Lance Douluo.

"Third Offering, what are your orders?" Snake Lance Douluo asked.

"Return to Spirit Hall and tell Big Brother to send someone to the Star Luo Empire to help Zhu Zhuyun obtain the throne."

Zhu Zhuyun?

Wasn't she the eldest daughter of the Zhu Family?

Why would she stand with Spirit Hall?

How strange.

What exactly had happened when the young lord and the others went to the Star Dou Great Forest?

Snake Lance Douluo had his doubts, but he still nodded in agreement and immediately headed for the Worship Hall.

"Third Grandpa, go protect Xiao Yu in secret first. I need to make a trip to the palace. The competition is about to begin, and as the crown prince, I can't possibly be absent."

Qian Renxue said.

"Go on. This old man understands."

Snake Lance Douluo nodded.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had already arrived at Dugu Manor.

"Benefactor, you're here."

The moment Dugu Yan saw Su Yu arrive, she hurried over to greet him.

"You don't have to call me benefactor. Just call me Su Yu. Calling me benefactor all the time feels a little awkward."

If she kept calling him benefactor, outsiders would certainly find it strange as well.

Being Dugu Bo's benefactor would definitely arouse a great deal of suspicion.

"Understood." Dugu Yan nodded.

"Oh, right. Let me introduce you to my friend."

When they arrived at the backyard, Su Yu saw a young girl sitting quietly on a bluestone by the river from afar, her feet hanging gently above the water without touching the current.

Her long, black, silky hair lay casually over her shoulders, while the corners of her plain dress were lightly lifted by the breeze.

Her elbow rested lightly against her knee, one hand supporting her chin as she stared blankly at the slowly flowing river.

The rippling light on the water swayed softly in her clear eyes. Her expression was faint, devoid of any excess emotion.

She seemed cut off from the world, alone in silent thought.

Even when fine droplets occasionally splashed up, she never shifted her gaze. She simply sat motionless at the riverbank, quietly lost in a daze.

"Lingling, what are you daydreaming about?" Dugu Yan called out.

Ye Lingling abruptly came back to her senses. When she turned toward Dugu Yan, she noticed the handsome, golden-haired Su Yu standing beside her.

"Yanyan, who is this?" Ye Lingling asked.

He was so handsome.

Who did Lingling know that this was?

He was far more handsome than Yu Tianheng, who was always pestering Dugu Yan.

"Su Yu. He's the benefactor who saved my life that I mentioned before."

Dugu Yan introduced him.

"So it's him." Ye Lingling rose to her feet in realization and brushed the dust from herself. "Hello, I'm Ye Lingling."

"Hello, I'm Su Yu." Su Yu smiled.

After exchanging greetings, the three sat to the side and began discussing the competition.

"Su Yu, the competition is about to begin. There aren't many independent Soul Masters participating this time," Dugu Yan said. "For you, it should be easy. The only ones who might pose some difficulty are Yu Tianheng, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Yu Tianxin."

"Feng Xiaotian is from Godwind Academy, Huo Wu is from Blazing Fire Academy, Shui Bing'er is from Skywater Academy, and Yu Tianxin is from Thunder Academy.

These people are basically the strongest representatives of their respective academies. As for Yu Tianheng, since you can defeat me, you can basically defeat him too."

Su Yu nodded. "Those people won't be much of a problem."

Dugu Yan continued, "Since the restrictions for this competition don't allow Soul Ancestors to participate, anyone above Soul Ancestor must suppress their cultivation to Soul Elder."

She told Su Yu that he would need to suppress his cultivation from before entering the competition.

On the surface, Soul Ancestors were forbidden from participating.

In truth, almost no one could exceed the Soul Ancestor level.

This was a competition for the younger generation, and Su Yu was part of the younger generation too.

Therefore, Su Yu might be the only person under these rules who would trigger that restriction.

"Suppressing my cultivation? No problem."

If that rule had not been introduced, he really could have cleared it all in one go like a weekly dungeon.

Suppressing his cultivation would still hardly be a problem.
