Chapter 144: Yu Xiaogang: Don't worry, can I still trick you?

Ning Rongrong deliberately used this method to test Du Gu Yan's attitude, and she really was somewhat worried that Du Gu Yan would be blinded by interests and thus develop the idea of swallowing the immortal herb alone.

Ning Rongrong was not doing this because she wanted to use the immortal herb to evolve her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

After all, even without the immortal herb, she could purchase items that would allow her martial soul to metamorphose in the Points Mall by accumulating points.

But she feared that if Du Gu Yan swallowed the immortal herb alone, it would expose the existence of the diary copy.

If from now on she could no longer obtain rewards from the diary copy, that would truly be a case of the losses outweighing the gains.

Thus, after apologizing to Du Gu Yan, Ning Rongrong looked at her and reminded her.

"If you don't have that idea, then I still hope you can cooperate with Luo Ye in the future so he can smoothly obtain those immortal herbs."

"You don't need to think Luo Ye is stealing the opportunity that originally belonged to your grandfather, since Luo Ye already stated in the diary that he will find a way to compensate for the Poison Douluo's loss, so he will definitely not disappoint you."

After hearing these words, Du Gu Yan's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again, and she let out a cold snort.

"You don't need to remind me about these things; I will handle them myself."

"See? Your fiancée from your previous life holds a very high position in Luo Ye's heart."

"As for Luo Ye, as long as he can obtain Dugu Bo's immortal herb, he will definitely share one stalk with you to make up for the time and talent you have wasted over the years."

"If you don't seize the opportunity to deepen your relationship with him, someone might surpass you and take your place."

Liu Er Long gave Qian Renxue a deep look, hinting with meaning as she reminded her.

And after hearing these words, Qian Renxue pressed her lips, her expression became extremely complex, and she fell into a prolonged silence.

Liu Er Long also did not continue to persuade, knowing that pressing the point too far could backfire and possibly provoke Qian Renxue's rebellious psychology.

As for the immortal herb, Liu Er Long did not actually crave it that much.

If it were in the past, even if she obtained the immortal herb, she would surely think of giving it to Yu Xiaogang, so that his martial soul would undergo a beneficial mutation and completely shake off the label of trash.

But now she has seen Yu Xiaogang's true nature, and of course she would no longer have such a thought.

Since she lost Bibi Dong as her imaginary rival, Liu Er Long no longer craved strength as she once did.

So if she could obtain it, that would naturally be best, but even if she couldn't, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Anyway, she has already established a relationship with Luo Ye, can steadily earn points, and can purchase the items she needs from the Points Mall.

Speaking of which, she also has to thank Yu Tianheng; if it weren't for him providing her with a suitable opportunity and excuse, given her status it would not have been so easy to connect with Luo Ye.

However, according to Liu Er Long's knowledge, Yu Tianheng has already left with Yu Xiaogang and the others from the Tian Dou Royal Academy, heading to the Star Luo Empire to prepare to become a member of Shilaike Academy.

When she first heard this news, Liu Er Long appeared utterly shocked and bewildered, but after reacting, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

What Luo Ye previously said in the diary indeed turned out to be correct—Yu Tianheng eventually ended up mingling with those folks from Shilaike Academy, and these events actually happened much earlier.

One doesn't know whether to say Yu Xiaogang is simply too good at deceiving people, or that Yu Tianheng realized they were like-minded, abandoning the Tian Dou Royal Academy to actually go to that uncertain future of Shilaike Academy.

Although it was clear that Luo Ye and Gu Yue Na had withdrawn from Shilaike Academy, and they had already heard from them how much of a trap and unreliable Shilaike Academy was, he still resolutely wanted to join them.

This brat Yu Tianheng probably won't have a good ending in this life.

Actually, after calming down, Yu Tianheng also regretted this decision, but it was already too late.

Because they were worried that Yu Tianheng might change his mind after regaining his senses, the folks from Shilaike Academy set off for the Star Luo Empire at full speed.

When Yu Tianheng realized how foolish his decision had been, he had already followed the Shilaike Academy people to the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

Looking at this bustling, prosperous city before him, Yu Tianheng's expression was dull and his eyes showed extreme numbness.

He turned his head to look at Yu Xiaogang beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle, is it still timely for me to withdraw from Shilaike Academy now?"

Yu Xiaogang naturally understood what Yu Tianheng was thinking; to prevent him from truly leaving and returning to Tian Dou City, Yu Xiaogang quickly spoke to soothe him.

"Don't worry, Tianheng, do you think I would trick you? I guarantee that becoming a member of Shilaike Academy is absolutely the correct choice you will ever make in your life."

"With my guidance, you can certainly become a top powerhouse of the Douluo Continent in the shortest time, personally defeat Luo Ye, and return all the humiliation you previously suffered."

Yu Xiaogang paused, then changed his approach and continued to tempt.

"You didn't say before that you fell in love at first sight with the girl named Gu Yue Na?"

"But as far as I know, Gu Yue Na likes Luo Ye, so if you want to win her over, you must possess enough strength to defeat Luo Ye."

"This matter concerns not only your dignity, but also your happiness for the second half of your life."

"Think about it yourself—even the position of captain of the Royal Douluo Battle Team has been taken by Luo Ye; if you return to the Tian Dou Royal Academy, could you possibly still receive any good treatment?"

Yu Tianheng remained silent.

Although he felt Yu Xiaogang was arguing sophistically, he still vaguely sensed that her words made some sense.

After noticing that Yu Tianheng's attitude was wavering, Yu Xiaogang quickly gave Flandre a glance.

As a member of the Golden Iron Triangle, Flandre and Yu Xiaogang share a deep mutual understanding, so he naturally knew what he meant.

Thus he quickly spoke up in agreement.

"What Xiaogang said is correct; in the Tian Dou Royal Academy you aren't even a formal member of the Royal Douluo Battle Team, but if you were in our Shilaike Academy, we would certainly cultivate you with all our strength."

"I know you're worried about the future of our Shilaike Academy, but you should know that Dai Mubai is a prince of the Star Luo Empire."

"With him, Shilaike Academy can definitely obtain a great deal of resources."

At the end, Flandre also gestured to Dai Mubai, indicating that he should speak up as well.

Dai Mubai clearly understood not to miss this genius Yu Tianheng, and he firmly patted his chest and spoke in a deep voice.

"What the dean said is correct; from now on just watch me."
