People in Douluo: Ice Phoenix does not fight or compete

Chapter 80: Temporary Appeasement

Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.

Xue Qinghe, who had long intended to recruit Shui Tian, ​​also received news of the turmoil in Lan Ba ​​Academy.

The paper clearly stated the fate of Shrek’s teachers, and specifically noted that Shui Tian intended to leave Blue Tyrant Academy.

Xue Qinghe smiled gently, the opportunity had come.

She was able to roughly analyze the incomplete information. She had seen some things from their last meeting. Now she thought that this was not a surprise.

But she needs to think carefully about where to start and how to recruit this young Soul Fighter under her command based on the actual situation.

"Come here~"

After a call, a voice came from somewhere in the bright hall.

"Young Master, please give your orders."

Xue Qinghe had an ambiguous smile on his face, and said with interest: "Go to Lanba Academy and keep an eye on Shuitian. If he leaves the academy, send someone to notify me immediately."

After she finished speaking, she continued to handle the official duties at hand. Recently, Emperor Xue Ye began to hand over government affairs to her, as if he felt that he no longer had the energy due to his old age and began to slowly give up his power.

No one knows whether it is really due to old age or the toxins in the body slowly taking effect.

While flipping through the pages, a summary from a northern town caught her attention.

The power of a certain powerful soul master family is growing stronger and stronger. In the city there, people have begun to obey only that family and ignore the imperial decrees.

The north is relatively remote, and the control capabilities of the Empire and the Spirit Hall are equal. Judging from the current situation, whoever can take down that family will be able to gain direct control of that city.

The Spirit Hall will not let go of any city or place on the continent, and Xue Qinghe is even more determined to recruit Shui Tian.

"Shui Bing'er, the most outstanding talent of the younger generation of the Shui family, is studying at Tianshui College. She has been selected to participate in the next elite competition of advanced soul masters in the continent. Her martial soul is~"

"Condensed Water Flying Luan?"

"Haha, it seems like you, Shuitian, have a successor! If you can't use me~"

Her eyes became deep, and a faint golden light flickered in her pupils.

If they cannot take it into their pockets, the Spirit Hall will never sit idly by and watch the Shui family produce a second genius who can defeat a Titled Douluo with the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo!

.........

There was only a row of blue fluorescent pyroxene left in the warehouse. These pieces were brought from home by him and were usually used to set up the environment for cultivation.

It’s just a pity that I haven’t met any outstanding students with water or ice attributes, and these things have been gathering dust here for a long time.

Not knowing what he would do after he finished cleaning up, Liu Erlong began to get nervous. She wondered what excuse she should find to continue following him.

While she was thinking, Shui Tian reached out and stopped her from wiping them.

"What's wrong?" Liu Erlong looked at his profile.

Ice-attribute soul power was released from his palm, allowing the pyroxene to shine again.

These stones began to release low temperatures, dropping the temperature of the entire warehouse to below zero.

"Fortunately, it can still be used~" He felt relieved. This thing was not precious, just a little rare, and was only suitable for soul masters with ice and water attributes.

After the soul power dissipated, the stones returned to their original state and the dust on the surface was cleaned away.

Collect them piece by piece and bring them back to the family for the clan members who are out for training.

A quick glance at the empty room revealed that it would not take even a day to sort out ten years of inventory.

His mood was inevitably a bit complicated. He glanced at the woman still standing beside him and said, "It's all packed, you should leave now."

"Do you hate me that much?" Liu Erlong was very unhappy. Why was he so cold to her?

Shuitian shook his head. It’s been ten years. How could he hate the relationship that has lasted for ten years?

"You're just wasting your time following me. I have my own things to do."

"I'll stay with you, Xiaotian, don't think of leaving me." Liu Erlong took a half step forward and looked at him affectionately.

This face is so beautiful that she feels she will never get tired of looking at it.

She has never been so clingy before, and now she acts very worthless. Shui Tian is sure that even if he asks her to take off all her clothes and lie on the ground, she will not refuse. It is too late for her to appear like this.

I don't want to say anything more to her here. Some things can't be solved by thinking them through. Shui Tian said coldly: "My affairs have nothing to do with you. Don't follow me."

After saying that, he turned and left. It was time to find someone to arrange for the garbage here to be cleaned up tomorrow morning.

"Wait a minute, Xiaotian, this is for you." Liu Erlong quickly ran to him and handed him the storage belt inlaid with eighteen gems.

"I said no, get out of the way." His face fell, trying to scare her away.

Liu Erlong would never let him go now. She grabbed his waist with both hands without saying a word and tried to force him to change his belt.

This scared Shui Tian, ​​and he had already decided to end things with her completely, so how could he allow her to do such a thing for him?

He quickly stepped back half a step and yelled, "That's enough Liu Erlong, don't force me to turn against you!"

He was so resistant now, but she had helped him do this kind of thing a lot in the past, not to mention a belt, they even helped each other put on their underwear.

Liu Erlong shrank back in grievance, but said stubbornly, "Then change it yourself. If you don't change it today, I will never let you go."

His tone was firm, and Shui Tian felt very ridiculous for a moment.

Why did she stop him? Did she think he wouldn't be so cruel as to attack her? Did she forget what happened to her in the morning?
She didn't forget, but she was not afraid and didn't care. If he really hurt herself, she would not let him leave and she had to let him stay to take care of herself.

Blue fluorescence flashed in his eyes, and Shui Tian shouted in a low voice: "Get out of here!"

tumultuous--

A strong soul power shock burst out from his body, and a strong wind suddenly blew up in the warehouse.

Facing the impact of the soul power released by the Soul Douluo, Liu Erlong had difficulty breathing even in his weak physical state.

But she was fearless, gritted her teeth and stepped closer to him.

Although she was the weaker party, she forced Shui Tian to retreat again and again, and when she saw him coming out, she still wanted to hug her.

"Why are you retreating? If you have the guts, just knock me out and run away. Shuitian, are you afraid of me?" Liu Erlong felt very sad when she said this. Nothing could make her more painful than her beloved man resisting her.

If it wasn't for the purpose of winning him back, Liu Erlong would have gotten angry long ago.

Shui Tian lost his temper after hearing this, and the soul power storm dissipated with his gentle sigh.

"I am very tired, Liu Erlong. I am tired of your playing both sides. Let me go, and let yourself go! Let's separate peacefully. If we are destined to meet again, we can still maintain basic decency."

"No~"

Unable to bear his answer, Liu Erlong shook her head to resist his decision.

"It's not like that. I don't want to be separated from you! I promise not to make mistakes again. If I make mistakes again, you can leave. I promise not to ask you to stay, okay? Give me one last chance, the last time, just this once!" Shui Tian was silent for a long, long time...

"Xiaotian, I love you. Please don't let me miss you because of my momentary confusion, okay?" Liu Erlong took another step forward nervously, begging him not to push her away.

"I can't accept it. Give me some time to think about it." Shui Tian stretched out his hand to stop her from getting closer. Now he didn't want to have any close contact with her. He really couldn't do anything about her so he could only say this.

Although I didn't hug him, I could tell that his attitude was a little shaken.

This was enough to make Liu Erlong happy. She seemed to have lost her courage for a moment and asked anxiously, "Then, then please don't leave, okay? I promise to give you time to think about it. If you don't allow me to, I will never disturb you until you have thought it through."

Shui Tian looked up at her and saw persistence and attachment in her eyes.

Maybe she really loves him, but Shuitian can no longer trust her completely, no matter what assurances she gives!
The choices she made recently proved that she couldn't let go of Yu Xiaogang.

You can't judge your future by your current attitude; fickleness is every woman's nature.

"Forget it, let me go out and relax. It's time to go home. I haven't seen my brothers for a long time." Shui Tian shook his head and refused. He really missed his family from the bottom of his heart.

I want to go back and see how tall Uncle Xiaotian's two children have grown in the past few years, whether the elder is in good health, and whether my brother is still being bullied by his two wives every day~
Hearing this, Liu Erlong's eyes immediately lit up and she said excitedly, "I'll go back with you. I also want to go to the north. You said a long time ago that you would take me back to see your relatives."

She looked at him expectantly. She really wanted to see the scenery in the north of the empire, see where he was born and grew up, and know everything about him.

Shui Tian still decided to refuse: "Before you and I have thought it through, let's not meet each other as much as possible. Although the Shui family is not exclusive, you should also understand my status in the family. It is not appropriate to take you with me!"

I understood what he meant. The woman he brought home must be his wife, and now he doesn't even want to be in the same room with me...

Liu Erlong lowered her head and finally had to endure the bitter consequences.

It was really sad for her to say that, but she had no right to do so now. She nodded helplessly and said, "Then take this. Don't refuse me. It was meant to be given to you. Please accept it."

The belt was exquisite, the eighteen gems sparkled, and the colors and patterns matched him very well.

After much hesitation, Shuitian finally reached out to take the belt and held it in his hand for a long time without being able to recover.

It really should belong to him. Before Yu Xiaogang came to Lan Ba ​​Academy, everything that Liu Erlong had could belong to him, and vice versa.

"Let me help you change it." Liu Erlong put on a smile again. This was a good start.

Let everything start over again and let him fall in love with himself again.

Shui Tian said nothing and took off the belt engraved with the family emblem in front of her.

Most soul masters' storage soul guides are belts, but there are also some rings, bracelets, necklaces, and even some earrings and cloth bags.

Shui Tian’s original storage soul guide was a ring, which he hung around his neck as a pendant.

As for the hand, he originally intended to leave it to Liu Erlong. It is better for couples to be similar.

He took out the rustic wooden box and put away the belt engraved with the family crest. It deserves to be treated preciously.

He slowly put on the belt under Liu Erlong's expectant gaze.

The eighteen gems on his body were even more dazzling, with a shark pattern emerging in the center and wavy patterns around it rising and falling slightly like water waves.

This is indeed made of the skin of some kind of shark soul beast. Shui Tian can feel the fluctuations of water-attributed soul power on it.

It really suits him, and he really likes this belt from the bottom of his heart.

"It suits you very well and looks great." Liu Erlong praised sincerely.

It was as if his whole temperament improved a lot after putting on this belt.

"Thank you~" he said softly.

This time when he left the warehouse, Liu Erlong did not stop him and followed him about ten meters behind.

When they passed by Yu Xiaogang's place, the sounds inside could not escape their ears.

The doctor was decocting medicine. White smoke was coming out of the chimney on the roof, and bursts of medicinal fragrance wafted out.

The doctor treated his wounds and, while decocting medicine, reminded him to rest more and not to walk around unless necessary. He also asked him to prepare a pair of crutches as a backup and not to walk for long periods of time within a month.

Liu Erlong couldn't help feeling uncomfortable as she could tell how serious his knee injury was, but she still followed Shui Tian, ​​keeping the distance at about ten meters. Nothing could stop her from chasing her lover.

We followed him all the way to the college teaching area. Students passing by were confused when they saw them walking one after another. Some of them secretly sighed that love was too complicated.

Yinshu did not forget his work even though he was injured and met with the two deans in his office.

He was completely stunned when he heard Shuitian asking him to send someone to the training ground to clean up everything tomorrow morning.

If Liu Erlong hadn't winked at him to indicate that there was still hope, he might have asked Shui Tian where he wanted to go and resigned and gone with him.

If Shui Tian was gone, Xinshu would definitely have a hard time. Everyone in the academy knew that Xinshu was Vice Dean Shui Tian's most loyal henchman.

But he still hesitated and asked: "Do we have to demolish those houses as well? Actually, it's not a bad thing to keep them~"

Liu Erlong also said, "Director Yinshu is right. I think we don't need to demolish everything. We can just take away the garbage."

"Tear them all down. Thank you for your hard work, Xinshu. Or I can do it myself." Shui Tian had a serious expression and a firm attitude.

Unless necessary, he didn't want to raze the training ground to the ground himself.

"Well, I'll arrange it right away and make sure nothing is left behind." Yinshu was a very loyal younger brother. Seeing that his attitude meant there was no room for negotiation, he went out directly to find people to make arrangements.

It is already afternoon, and it won't be long before the sun sets and a cool night arrives.

They hadn't eaten all day, so Liu Erlong tried to invite him, "Xiaotian, you must be hungry. Let's go back and I'll cook for you~"

"No, I'm not hungry."

After saying that, he left the office again. All the work had been done, and all that was left was to wait for the three children to make a decision.

He verbally promised to go out and relax and calm down, temporarily deceiving Liu Erlong and himself.

Helplessly, Liu Erlong followed him downstairs. Suddenly, she heard someone shouting for help, so she quickly quickened her pace and walked out of the office building.

As soon as I came outside, I felt the extremely cold air. Large pieces of ice crystals had formed under Shui Tian's feet.

Zhu Zhuqing stood beside Shuitian with a tired look on her face, looking at the figure who was frozen in place with some helplessness.

She was chased all the way back to the academy, and happened to see Teacher Shuitian who had just walked out of the front building. She hurriedly called for him to help her.

The frozen person kept running. Liu Erlong asked in confusion, "What happened? Xiaotian, why did you freeze this child?"

Dai Mubai was stunned. He mustered up the courage to chase into the academy. Luckily, no one tried to stop him. Unexpectedly, he saw Shui Tian head-on!
He froze himself with just one look, the bone-chilling cold made his soul tremble.

"What's wrong?" Shui Tian also asked Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, not knowing how to start. Low discussions were heard around them. The two of them were running very fast and attracted many curious students.

Finally, she couldn't bear to see Dai Mubai embarrassed here, so she whispered, "Teacher, let him go first, I will explain to you later."
