Yu Qitian's expression softened slightly, but his eyes remained icy cold, clearly indicating that he did not fully accept Hu Jie's explanation.
Moreover, it involves the safety of his own son.
" Sect Master Yu, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Hu Jie was sweating profusely. He could recognize the person in front of him at a glance. After all, he was once a member of the Body Sect, so he naturally knew this expert from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He still remembers the things this guy did more than forty years ago.
"Just now, two intruders breached our Tang Sect branch's database, and we're currently hunting them down..."
"An intruder?" Yu Qitian's voice carried a hint of doubt. "You chased the intruder all the way here?"
Hu Jie nodded quickly. "It's just a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, my judgment was wrong. I apologize for accidentally injuring the young man. Our Tang Sect will provide compensation."
"What, you think a little compensation will make anyone, human or ghost, touch my son?" Yu Qitian's voice was deep and powerful, each word striking Hu Jie's heart like a heavy hammer. "If even a single hair on my son's head falls out, I won't stand idly by."
Hu Jie looked somewhat embarrassed. Although he was older than the man in front of him, there was nothing he could do; strength was the only thing that mattered.
He's Limit Douluo, but he isn't. What can you do about it?
So he replied, " Sect Master Yu, please rest assured, I was indeed reckless this time, and I promise that nothing like this will ever happen again."
"You can continue your investigation. If things get really bad, do you need my help?"
"No need, no need..."
When Hu Jie left, he was still somewhat hesitant. A Spiritual System paired with a Power Attack System... it felt a lot like a setup for invading my Tang Sect branch...
But then I thought about it again. The strongest opponent was only a Soul Saint, and the intruder was at least a Titled Douluo had even burned his Soul Power. It couldn't possibly be Yu Longyue and his group.
So once Hu Jie understood, he left without hesitation.
After Hu Jie left in a hurry, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat heavy. Yu Qitian's expression was not good. He had a dark face and stared sharply at Yu Longyue. Although he said he would not pursue the matter with Hu Jie, his worry and dissatisfaction with his son were obvious.
" Longyue, come with me." Yu Qitian's voice was deep and carried an undeniable seriousness. He turned and walked in another direction, with Yu Longyue following closely behind. She knew in her heart that a lesson from her father was inevitable.
"You brat, you look pathetic, so you sneaked into the Tang Sect's database, didn't you?" Yu Qitian's voice carried a hint of anger. "What, you think you're so powerful and impressive just because you've refined most of the family's Soul Bone set and even forged Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores? You think you can just walk into that hellhole of the Tang Sect like that?"
"If I hadn't been here today, I'd like to see how you'd clean up this mess. Hu Jie didn't even consider this possibility because I was there, understand?"
"Uh..." Yu Longyue was speechless and could only chuckle.
"Get the hell out of here." Yu Qitian glared at him and waved his hand impatiently. "Tell me the truth, do you think your father looks that easy to fool? Why did you bother with the Tang Sect for no reason?"
"Dad, we're doing this for our family's future." Yu Longyue coughed a few times. "Think about it, what if we even manage to infiltrate the Tang Sect..."
"Don't mention that. I'm asking you, what will happen if we fail?" Yu Qitian, though not angry, exuded authority, directly interrupting Yu Longyue's spellcasting. "What if it affects our family? Huh? You think your God Level Martial Soul is so great, you think you're so high and mighty, but don't forget, our family has already suffered two annihilation disasters. I don't want our family to suffer a third time in my lifetime."
"Relax, absolutely not. Even if we failed, the Tang Sect never considered that possibility." Faced with her father's bloodline suppression, Yu Longyue's voice involuntarily lowered.
"What's more, we also have collaborative projects with the Tang Sect. Take that Satellite Sky Eye project, for example; we're starting discussions with the Tang Sect today. That's what you call a win-win situation!"
"Win-win my foot!"
Yu Qitian raised his hand and smacked him on the head, saying irritably.
"Fine, you can do whatever you want with this place. We have plenty of ways to protect you. But don't repay kindness with enmity and ruin our family."
"How could that be? Do I look like that kind of person?"
" Huo Haodong is a perfectly good young man, but look at what he's doing every day since he started following you. You've corrupted him completely."
"..."
"Go back and rest. I only covered up your condition after your Soul Power burned out so Hu Jie wouldn't notice." Yu Qitian kicked you. "Look at the state you're in now! Soul Power burning, and your right hand is broken. Don't tell me you can still lift your right hand; I don't believe it at all."
Yu Longyue had no choice but to surrender on the spot and crawl back to sleep, since he was indeed not in good condition.
This dad is truly a case of a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Yu Longyue glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was snickering behind her, and was furious.
"Stop laughing! Tomorrow's operation is the real focus; today was just an appetizer. Hurry back and don't arouse suspicion."
Huo Yuhao was stunned. "Huh? Another operation tomorrow? Are we going to infiltrate again?"
"Not only that, but we also changed our identities and went in openly and legitimately." Yu Longyue smiled mysteriously, "Guess what I downloaded on the USB drive I gave you?"
"... Your smile is so lewd."
The next morning, there was another match.
Yu Longyue has recovered from her injuries and can now lift her right hand again.
To withstand several attacks from a Super Douluo of Hu Jie's level and even repel him is truly remarkable; it must have come at a price.
The individual semifinals have begun. Yu Longyue and Gu Yue are still alive, with only Long Yue, who calls himself the Dragon King, and Dai Yueyan, the Tiger King, remaining.
Unfortunately, Yu Longyue was assigned the Long Yue.
Of course, this "unfortunate coincidence" refers to Long Yue; Yu Longyue herself felt it didn't matter who she was assigned to.
The tall, bald man before me had slightly protruding temples, was breathing heavily, and had an extremely serious expression. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and said:
"My name is Long Yue, they all call me Dragon Lunatic, please enlighten me."
He is currently only a Soul Emperor, while his opponent is Soul Saint.
Information about him can be found online; he is known as the number one genius in the Douluo Continent.
There are things I can learn from.
However, this person, whom he considered a formidable foe, stunned him with just the first sentence:
"I heard your name is Dragon King?"
"What's wrong?"
Yu Longyue casually put on her ear pick:
"Can you change your title? You call yourself the Dragon King in front of me, so what am I?"
Seeing them start chatting, the referee couldn't stand it any longer and immediately said, "Begin!"
Long Yue didn't waste any words with him, immediately activating his sixth Soul Skill, Mountain Dragon King's Wrath, and the Two-Word Battle Armor, wielding a double-pointed spear.
" River!" Long Yue roared, and his Second Soul Ring shone brightly.
But in the next second, Yu Longyue instantly appeared behind Long Yue, back to back, and said calmly:
"I'm glad you humbled yourself in front of me, but I'm very unhappy that you used the title 'Dragon King ' to refer to me. If I'm unhappy, then you're finished."
"You're not allowed to surrender today."
