Bibi Dong Luffy from Blue Lightning City with Jun Yi. The two arrived at an inn not too far from Blue Lightning City. Bibi Dong pulled Jun Yi to the table, ordered some food, and then sat quietly to the side, watching Jun Yi's calm expression.
Bibi Dong spoke first, " Jun Yi, I think it's not Xiao Dong who needs a good rest, but you. What do you think?"
"I don't need to rest. I still have many things to do," Jun Yi replied slowly.
"To be honest, the way you looked just now really scared me. Having known you for so long, this is the first time I've seen you so cruel and violent. It's not that it's bad, but it just doesn't seem right for you to look like that."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi turned to look into Bibi Dong's eyes and said, "Everyone has a side that no one knows, and so do I."
"I thought I knew you well enough, but I realized it wasn't. A lot must have happened during those two years you were away training. It couldn't have been just being hunted by Sword Douluo, could it? Xue'er once told me that ever since you returned to the academy after your two-year journey, you've been acting strangely, as if you're carrying a huge burden of hatred."
"Actually, given your original personality, if Sword Douluo was really just chasing you, you would have forgiven him for Ning Rongrong's sake. But you didn't. Instead, you directly regarded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School as your enemy. I'm very curious, what exactly did Sword Chen Xin do to change you so much?"
Bibi Dong slowly questioned Jun Yi. In her opinion, something unknown must have happened in the past two years that caused a great change in Jun Yi's personality, even enough to break him down.
" Sister Dong'er, that's a painful memory. Please don't force me anymore, okay?" Jun Yi's personality finally showed some signs of change, and he took the initiative to end the topic.
"Well, that matter is in the past, so I won't bring it up again. But I will be dealing with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future. If possible, you can come with me then, and we can take our revenge directly," Bibi Dong suggested.
Jun Yi shook his head and said, "I will fight him Guangming in front of the world. I'll put other matters aside for now."
"It's up to you. Anyway, you'll be cooperating with our Spirit Hall in the future, and you're still Xue'er's younger brother. Don't worry, I swear on my Martial Soul and Rakshasa Godhood that I will never do anything like Ning Fengzhi, betraying you. So you can rest assured."
After saying that, Bibi Dong ignored Jun Yi. She understood that Jun Yi needed to adjust himself, and her advice was useless.
Just as she turned to look at the entrance of the post station, she spotted a very familiar figure. He was dressed in black and had an ordinary appearance as he slowly walked into the post station.
"Waiter, bring the dishes, the usual five." He called out to the waiter as he walked in.
Seeing this, the waiter quickly ran to the man in black's side, carefully examined him, and then Satori, "Oh, Xiaogang Master Gang, you're back! Come, this way, please. We've reserved a private seat for you."
The man in black was Yu Xiaogang. After losing his Soul Power and Martial Soul, he looked much older, at least three years older than when Jun Yi saw him last year. The current Yu Xiaogang looked exactly like the Yu Xiaogang in Bibi Dong's memory.
When Bibi Dong recognized Yu Xiaogang, she was not as happy as she had imagined. For some reason, she was unexpectedly calm. She even felt that Yu Xiaogang at this time was just so-so. Whether it was his appearance or temperament, he was not as good as Jun Yi sitting next to her, not to mention his talent. There was no comparison at all.
Could it really be as my beastly teacher, Qian Xunji, said back then—that she was blinded by love back then?
"Young Master Xiaogang, I heard that you went to take up a post at the Spirit Hall. Why did you suddenly come back?" The waiter poured tea for Yu Xiaogang while chatting casually.
The waiter's question stumped Yu Xiaogang. He had returned because he had been caught sneaking a peek at books in the Spirit Hall's library a few days earlier. Although he had been released, he couldn't stand the gossip among his colleagues, so he chose to escape and go back to his family to rest. He planned to return to the Spirit Hall once the storm had passed.
"Ahem, I've been missing home these past few days, so I took some time off to come back and see my father," Jun Yi said casually.
"I didn't expect Xiaogang to be so Gu Clan. I admire him. Young Master Xiaogang, please have some tea while I go to the kitchen to expedite your order," the waiter said obsequiously.
"Mmm." Yu Xiaogang was quite pleased with the waiter's flattery, and waved him away.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and Jun Yi were also focused on Yu Xiaogang. Both of them realized that Yu Xiaogang was lying and understood that he must have returned from the Spirit Hall for other reasons.
" Sister Dong'er, you won't blame me for destroying his Martial Soul, will you?" Jun Yi asked Bibi Dong tentatively.
"No, his Martial Soul has no effect on him at all; it makes no difference whether he has it or not," Bibi Dong replied calmly.
Then her expression became somewhat subtle, and she looked at Jun Yi with a half-smile, saying, "Weren't you just silent? You really like... what's that word again, oh, gossip."
"How did Sister Dong'er know this word?" Jun Yi asked curiously.
"I heard Zhu Zhuqing mention this word before, and I was curious to ask her what it meant, so I learned it," Bibi Dong said with a smile.
"Forehead."
Jun Yi then understood. Although Zhu Zhuqing usually seemed aloof, she was actually quite fond of gossip and loved asking all sorts of questions. So Jun Yi told her the meaning of the word, but he didn't expect that Bibi Dong would actually learn it.
Just as the two were talking, the waiter brought over a pot of wine and two cups, placing them in front of Jun Yi and Bibi Dong respectively.
"Please have some wine, gentlemen." The waiter then left.
Bibi Dong casually poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Jun Yi. "Judging by your age, you're an adult now and can drink. Come on, have a drink with your older sister today."
" Sister Dong'er, are you trying to drown your sorrows in alcohol, to mourn your lost love?" Jun Yi asked with a smile.
"What love? Back then, we only had mutual attraction; it never reached the level of love. The reason I Niannian him is just the Rakshasa Divine Sense." Bibi Dong poured herself a cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wow, this baijiu is really strong. I still prefer wine."
