Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 232 Teacher, I Believe in You
When Yun Ming told Yali for the second time that it was the last time, Qiangu Qitian was also coaxing his little Mu Xi.

Except for the first day he spent with the sisters Leng Yaozhu and Leng Yulai, Qiangu Qitian has been staying with Mu Xi for the past few days since he came back.

Even if Qiangu Qitian's "Sister Xiang" tried her best, she could not satisfy Qiangu Qitian.

He said he was coaxing her, but in reality, Qiangu Qitian was unilaterally "bullying" his little Mu Xi.

However, Qiangu Qitian did not go too far. After Mu Xi showed her eloquence, Qiangu Qitian used the same method to retaliate.

"Brother, you are so bad~"

Mu Xi held Qiangu Qitian's head in her arms and lay on the soft big bed in a lazy posture. There was still a blush on her face and a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, Mu Xi felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

Mu Xi had long forgotten the self-discipline she had in the past period of time. Now, she was really enjoying this kind of life with Qiangu Qitian.

She even felt that this kind of training was faster and easier than practicing hard on her own.

"Xiao Xi, I'm sorry for wronging you."

Qiangu Qitian reached out and gently stroked Mu Xi's soft golden hair, making a dull sound.

Mu Xi said with some annoyance:

"I've told you so many times, don't complain."

"besides……"

Mu Xi stretched out her slender fingers and tapped on Qiangu Qitian's head again and again, saying with some "dissatisfaction",

"I am your sister Xi. I used to call you sister, but now I call you Xiao Xi."

Qiangu Qitian raised his head with a puzzled look:

"Isn't Sister Xi just a little girl? If they are put together, it's Xiao Xi."

Mu Xi: ...

In fact, she also discovered this point. Every time when she exhausted her last bit of strength, she could feel that Qiangu Qitian did not have enough fun, which made her feel very guilty.

Mu Xi also thought about going to find her sister Yu Lai, she knew Leng Yu Lai would definitely not refuse her request.

But Leng Yulai and Leng Yaozhu were always together, and the sensible Mu Xi did not join this group. She was afraid that her little Tian would be tired.

Although, this is a bit of an unfounded worry.

Now that Qiangu Qitian mentioned this matter, Mu Xi's desire to seek external assistance became extremely active.

"By the way, Xiaoxi, let's go to Donghai City together in a few days. I'm sure Uncle Muchen and Aunt Baoer miss you very much."

As he spoke, Qiangu Qitian had already embraced Mu Xi's slender waist. He lowered his head and kissed Mu Xi's forehead, saying softly,

"My Xiaoxi must be homesick too."

Donghai City...Home...

Mu Xi came here without the consent of his parents. The moment he decided to go to the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, Mu Xi had even prepared for the worst.

Fortunately, Mu Chen and Yuan Baoer both made many soul-guided communications to Mu Xi, and even expressed their desire to come here to visit Mu Xi, but were all politely rejected by Mu Xi.

She was also waiting, waiting for Qiangu Qitian to offer to take her to meet his parents.

At that time, they were completely together.

Mu Xi rested her head on Qiangu Qitian's chest, put her ear on Qiangu Qitian's left chest, and listened to the strong beating of her heart.

"Actually...Xiaotian, wherever you are is my home."

She could feel that when she said this, Qiangu Qitian's heart rate became disordered for a moment.

A smile appeared on Mu Xi's lips. This was - happiness.

At the same time, the desire to find a teammate to play duo with became stronger and stronger in Mu Xi's mind.

Qiangu Qitian and Mu Xi hugged each other like this, and when they were about to fall asleep, the sound of a soul guide communication ring woke Qiangu Qitian up.

He picked it up and saw that it was Yali calling.

He looked down at Mu Xi and saw that she had fallen asleep, so he quietly got up and walked towards the balcony while answering the call.

"Hey, teacher, what's going on?"

After a long while, Yali's voice came from the other end of the line:
"Xiaotian, are you in the Spirit Pagoda now?"

Even through soul guide communication, Qiangu Qitian could feel that Yali on the other end of the communication was feeling a little strange.

Qiangu Qitian frowned. He couldn't think of what could have happened to make him like this.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?"

In the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, beside Poseidon Lake.

Yali sat in the small pavilion where she had sat before, with her legs also placed on the chair, her knees slightly bent, one hand on her knees, and the other holding her soul guide communication.

The night breeze blew, lifting a strand of her hair, and the moonlight reflected in the lake and on Yali's soft face.

If someone didn't know her identity, they would never believe this scene. This woman who looked like a young girl was actually from the previous era.

"I'm fine." Yali opened her red lips slightly, but the sadness in her tone could not be concealed.

Qiangu Qitian: ...

He felt that there were always some people who would treat him as a fool.

But he didn't expose Yali, but went straight to the point:

"Teacher, you are so late, what do you want to talk to me about?"

There was another long silence on Yali's side.

Qiangu Qitian was not in a hurry. He leaned on the railing and looked up slightly. He could see the silver moon hanging high in the sky.

From the sounds coming from the other end of the communication, Qiangu Qitian judged that Yali was also outside at this time.

Maybe, at this moment, Yali was also looking up at the moon.

"Xiaotian, if you don't want to answer what I'm going to ask next, just hang up."

Yali took a deep breath and decided to cut the Gordian knot.
"Can you tell me why your grandfather wanted to depose Qiangu Dongfeng and come out of retirement?"

The reason why Yali said this in the newsletter was because she didn't dare to face Qiangu Qitian in reality.

She was afraid to see Qiangu Qitian's disappointed face.

She was afraid of losing her only disciple.

Because she rarely goes out, Yali's activities are almost limited to Shrek Academy, and she rarely leaves Shrek City.

Although Shrek Academy did not restrict her freedom, Yali chose to sacrifice this freedom in order to avoid suspicion and for Yun Ming.

She thought that this would bring her a happy life...

Qiangu Qitian would share her ideas with Yali when she implemented them.

Whenever she saw Qiangu Qitian doing this, Yali would feel sincerely happy.

What she saw in Qiangu Qitian was her former self.

Even this soul-guided communication was something she decided to make after hesitating for several days.

When Qiangu Qitian heard Yali's words, his first reaction was to be stunned.

But he quickly realized that this was definitely not Yali's own idea.

Otherwise, Yali would definitely not use this tone.

Qiangu Qitian always remembered the last time when Yali had a conflict with Yunming to protect him. Qiangu Qitian really wanted to respect his teacher.

In fact, the first one also wanted to respect his teacher, but a small accident happened in the process.

Qiangu Qitian's brain worked rapidly and he quickly weighed the pros and cons - there was no harm in telling those old guys.

In fact, a group of old guys in Shrek Poseidon Pavilion had already guessed most of it, but the spread of the news of Qiangu Dieting's deification put too much pressure on them, causing them to be at a loss for what to do.

Letting Yali come to him to inquire about this matter also exposed their strengths and weaknesses to Qiangu Qitian.

A faint smile appeared on Qiangu Qitian's lips.

Although he had decided to tell, Qiangu Qitian remained silent for a long time.

He wants to maximize his benefits through this matter.

For example - make Yali feel guilty about this.

Who knows, this might be a brilliant move.

This was Qiangu Qitian's original idea.

However, after hearing the change in Yali's breath on the other end of the communication, Qiangu Qitian gave up this idea.

His heart softened in the end. Qiangu Qitian would never use any tricks against someone who was good to him. That's just the kind of person he is.

"Teacher, it's actually nothing." Qiangu Qitian's tone was very relaxed, trying his best to make Yali feel as little guilty as possible.

"Qian Gu Dong Feng...killed my parents."

Yali:!!!
Qiangu Qitian could already guess that after the old guys from Shrek Academy learned that it was an internal fight in the Spirit Pagoda, they would be excited at first, because the three limits of the Qiangu family of the Spirit Pagoda had become one; but then they would be worried, because they could not imagine what on earth was in Qiangu Qitian that could make Qiangu Dieting make such a choice.

Although doing so would make him a target of public criticism, it would not be dangerous for Qiangu Qitian.

More importantly, Qiangu Qitian was able to fish in troubled waters. Maybe Shrek made a stupid move and he happened to catch him.

Yali didn't expect that she would get such an answer.

Guilt continued to overflow from her heart. She simply could not imagine what she had experienced to allow Qiangu Qitian to say this so lightly.

Her lips were trembling, and she didn't know whether she should ask the next question.

Qiangu Qitian on the other end of the line seemed to sense something. Yali only heard Qiangu Qitian on the other end smiling and saying in an extremely relaxed tone:
"Teacher, do they still want to know why my grandfather spread the news that he has become a god?"

Yali was stunned...they?
After a while, Yali realized that the "they" here should refer to the group of elders in the Poseidon Pavilion.

"Why...can't it be what I want to ask?"

Yali pursed her lips and asked the question in her mind.

Qiangu Qitian chuckled:

"How could my kind and simple teacher, who only wanted to cure diseases and save lives, ask me such irrelevant questions?"

"And - Teacher, it's impossible for me to believe that what you said is what you meant, just like a knife on my neck."

"Pfft~" A smile finally appeared on Yali's face. She scolded with a smile, "You little brat, you actually teased your teacher. Let me make it clear in advance, I am not your teacher Yaozhu."

Eternal Heaven: ???
Yali wouldn’t think... that I’m flirting with her, right?

Qiangu Qitian did not think about this somewhat profound question for the time being. He directly answered Yali's second doubt:

"My grandfather has left the power center of the Spirit Pagoda for a long time. Announcing that he has become a god is undoubtedly the fastest way to gather power. As for why he did this... Teacher, do you want to know?"

"why?"

Yali asked subconsciously.

But she realized later that there seemed no need for her to continue asking.

"Since the teacher wants to know, I will tell the teacher, but the teacher must keep it a secret for me."

Just when Yali was about to refuse, Qiangu Qitian had already said it.

"After two and a half years, I will be a Titled Douluo. At that time, I will be the new master of the Spirit Pagoda. During these two and a half years, my grandfather... will hand over a new Spirit Pagoda to me."

Yali could feel that the words spoken by Qiangu Qitian contained a huge amount of information, and there were several points that were worth careful study.

but……

"Xiaotian, do you trust me so much?"

Qiangu Qitian smiled calmly:
“You are my teacher.”

Yali subconsciously wanted to say it, but as she was also the wife of the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, she found that no matter what, the words seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

"Teacher, is there anything else?"

Qiangu Qitian, who had not received a response for a long time, scratched his head and asked.

"It's okay now. Good night, Xiaotian."

"Good night, teacher."

After hanging up the call, Yali held her soul guide communication for a long time without saying anything.

Yali, who had long been distrusted in Shrek Academy, finally felt the feeling of being trusted by her own students.

Invisible flirting is the most deadly.

Qiangu Qitian, this scumbag, subconsciously treats the opposite sex in this way, and he doesn't even know it.

On the other side, Qiangu Qitian also put away the soul guide communication and returned to the house.

After telling Yali the news, Qiangu Qitian had actually made preparations for the worst.

Even if Yali couldn't bear the pressure and revealed this matter to the old guys in Poseidon Pavilion, it wouldn't matter.

Two and a half years later, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become a Titled Douluo. By then, his divine body would be fully developed. As long as Yun Ming did not break through to the divine level, the only ones who could hurt Qiangu Qitian on the Douluo Continent at that time would be Qiangu Dieting and the three level twelve god-killing soul guide shells.

Needless to say, the former is a family member. It is better to believe that Tang San will marry his woman to him than to believe that Qiangu Dieting will kill him.

As for the latter... there is still a long way to go.

In the original timeline, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Holy Spirit Church could all obtain this thing. Now that we have the Spirit Transferring Tower of a god-level powerhouse, isn’t it easy to obtain this thing?

Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario.

He really believed in Yali.

Qiangu Qitian estimated that if nothing unexpected happened during this period, becoming a Titled Douluo should not be a problem.

When Qiangu Qitian was about to return to bed and hold Mu Xi to sleep, the voice of the Great Sage came:
"Kid, have you forgotten that you still have seven souls in your body? They are arguing about when you can send them back to Shrek Academy."

Qiangu Qitian slapped his head, he had indeed forgotten about this matter.

Can't blame him.

He was busy enough after coming back, and he was also planning to go to another home tomorrow to pick up Wu Siduo and Ye Xinglan who had already rested, and go to Shrek Academy to visit his beloved wife Gu Yuena, his concubine Xu Xiaoyan, and his dear Ye Hui.

As for the few old demons, he really didn't remember them.

Eh? On the way tomorrow? That's fine.

"Great Sage, leave them alone. I will send them away tomorrow."

"Just don't forget it."

After saying this, the Great Sage fell into silence.

Qiangu Qitian also returned to bed, hugged his sweet and soft Xiaoxi, and gradually fell asleep.
