Watching Gildarts tuck his tail between his legs and turn to flee, Bai Yu rubbed his chin helplessly.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for Gildarts, my predecessor.
This is probably a case of being caught in the crossfire.
However, it's quite remarkable that Gildarts was able to adjust his mindset so quickly.
It can be said that a person's psychological quality determines how far they can go.
"Senior, let's go back together." Bai Yu casually tossed a bottle of wine to Gildarts and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, this time it won't be empty."
Gildarts paused for a moment, looking at the swaying liquid in the bottle, then burst into laughter and patted Bai Yu on the shoulder.
"You little rascal, you really know how to behave. What's wrong? You don't happen to have your eye on my daughter and want me to be your father-in-law, do you?"
"By the way, you little rascal, you like drinking just like my daughter. Have you ever tried to outdrink me, or had any ulterior motives?"
"If that's really the case, I, as your father, will absolutely not let you off the hook."
Bai Yu almost spat out his drink.
Indeed, the power of a father's love is immense.
Just a moment ago, Gildarts was completely timid, but when faced with Cana's question, he instantly regained his valor, wrapping his arms tightly around Bai Yu's neck, showing no concern whatsoever in this face-to-face situation.
What if I get stabbed in the back?
However, it is precisely because of this human nature that Bai Yu has high hopes for Gildarts and Fairy Tail.
If even pure humanity has disappeared from this world.
That would probably be the world that Zeref and Acnologia destroyed.
"Kid, you haven't already slept with me and are planning to make me your grandfather in ten months, have you? I couldn't have done that back then." Gildarts stared at Bai Yu, sizing him up.
"But you're not bad-looking at all, are you? You're a pretty good father-in-law."
"Hey kid, hurry up and call your father-in-law over for a laugh."
Seeing Gildarts suddenly become so engrossed, Bai Yu rolled his eyes helplessly and said...
"Senior, if you keep talking, I might not stab you in the back, but I think Cana will hand me the knife."
" Cana, I wasn't wrong, was I?"
" Bai Yu, kill him!"
A furious shout rang out.
Gildarts froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that Fairy Tail members were already standing all around him.
Even Cana, unusually, did not appear carrying a bottle of alcohol.
After all, when Erza and the others returned to the guild, Makarov told them that Gildarts had also returned.
However, Gildarts went to meet Bai Yu alone.
At that moment, only one thought came to everyone's mind.
This guy is definitely going to get killed.
In particular, the earth-shattering tremor they had just witnessed made their hearts clench, prompting them to rush here at top speed.
The only thing that gave them a sense of relief was that the shocking, thousands-of-meters-long slash mark was indeed astonishing.
However, Gildarts is still alive and well.
The only drawback was that the repeated use of the term "father-in-law" sounded somewhat inappropriate.
" Cana, it was my fault. Please don't mind. Be careful not to upset the baby."
"Ah, Cana, I misspoke. Bai Yu, please help me break up this fight!"
The sounds of slaughtering pigs echoed through the arena.
Seeing Gildarts, the mighty S-Class Mage hailed as the strongest in Fairy Tail, helplessly dodging Cana's attacks, she was truly astounded.
Bai Yu couldn't help but take another sip of his drink.
Sure enough, the taste of wine is still top-notch when accompanied by farce.
"Hehe, Bai Yu, did you really fight Gildarts just now? That guy has always been very strong. Every time Gray and I challenged him, we were instantly killed. Can you defeat him?" Natsu couldn't help but ask first.
Judging from his bruised and swollen face, Gildarts ' return this time was clearly marked by numerous challenges.
These words immediately drew everyone's attention, including Laxus's.
During this period, Bai Yu did spend a very short time with Fairy Tail, but every move he made was truly amazing.
The news that Erza just brought back has shocked everyone.
Bai Yu single-handedly defeated the entire Oración Seis.
Such a record is beyond terrifying.
That's enough to call it perverted.
At this moment, what they care about most is the outcome of Bai Yu's battle with Gildarts, the most mysterious figure in the guild.
Feeling the eager gazes from all around, Bai Yu smiled and took a swig of his drink, saying, "It was a close call. Senior Gildarts possesses Super Advanced Crush Magic; it was a bit tricky to fight him."
A draw?
Those present were momentarily stunned.
Even Gildarts was no exception; he completely forgot to dodge and was directly hit by a bottle from Cana.
However, faced with Bai Yu's answer and his warm smile, Gildarts couldn't help but shudder and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, we did indeed draw. After all, I'm the father-in-law; I should have looked out for the newcomer."
" Gildarts, shut up!"
Seeing the two of them locked in a love-hate relationship once again, the people present finally came to their senses.
Natsu laughed and patted Bai Yu on the shoulder.
"As expected of someone I respect. To be able to fight Gildarts to a draw, you are indeed a very strong individual. Now that Gildarts is not around, I will challenge you."
"If I can defeat you, then it means I can defeat Gildarts."
Listening to this perfectly logical explanation, Bai Yu helplessly rubbed his chin.
Indeed, white lies always come at a price.
Once Natsu has stuck to you like a stubborn plaster, getting away will probably be quite difficult.
"Lord Laxus, is Bai Yu really capable of fighting Gildarts to a draw?" Freed couldn't help but ask.
As a native member of Fairy Tail.
Philid asked himself, within the guild, the person he feared most was not Erza Natsu, nor Mystogan, nor Makarov.
On the contrary, it was Gildarts was always unreliable and couldn't stay in the guild.
Freed has always firmly believed that if Gildarts were determined to become the guild master, then Laxus would have been out of the picture.
It can be said that Gildarts has always been a figure shrouded in Yamato and mystery in the hearts of these members.
Bai Yu suddenly says that he and Gildarts fought to a draw.
Freed couldn't quite believe it.
Sensing the confusion of the Thunder God Tribe, Laxus remained with his arms crossed, staring intently at Bai Yu.
Finally, his gaze fell upon the earth, upon the slash mark that stretched to the horizon.
No!
