Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 211 Lu Jun: I'm just here to watch the drama unfold!
Gu Yuena stood there quietly.

Her waist-length silver hair brushed against her beautiful profile in the breeze, with a few strands playfully clinging to her smooth forehead.

She wore a simple, moon-white school uniform, yet she managed to exude an aloof and ethereal fairy-like charm.

Those deep, star-like purple eyes were calm and still, as if the grand confession scene, the priceless flowers, and the noble suitor before her were nothing more than a speck of dust brushing past her eyes, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.

Her gaze didn't even truly fall on Qian Gu Zhangting's handsome face, which was filled with an air of determination.

Gu Yuena's gaze passed over him, past the layers of people, and precisely captured Lu Jun and Xie Xie, who were strolling leisurely towards her.

Qian Gu Zhangting clearly didn't notice the shift in Gu Yuena's gaze.

He was stung by Gu Yuena's complete indifference. From childhood to adulthood, with his illustrious family background, outstanding talent and handsome appearance, when had he ever been so completely ignored by a woman?
Countless socialites and ladies flocked to him, eager to offer themselves to him, yet this girl dared to be so ungrateful.

A surge of rage, mixed with an intense desire to conquer, rushed straight to his head.

Qian Gu Zhangting took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his displeasure, and once again put on what he thought was a charming smile. He stepped forward, presenting the enormous bouquet of flowers, almost blindingly bright, with both hands. His voice was deliberately gentle and low, carrying a seductive quality:

“Miss Nana, please accept my gift. This Starlight Dew is something I specially gathered for you from the secret garden within the tower. Each drop contains the pure power of the stars, and only you…”

His words stopped abruptly.

The moment he offered the flowers, Gu Yuena's calm, unwavering purple eyes finally turned to him, not with tender affection, but with a clear hint of impatience and disgust, like looking at a persistent mosquito.

The next second, to Qian Guzhangting's astonishment and under the gaze of hundreds of eyes around them, Gu Yuena didn't even utter a single word.

She casually, almost disdainfully, raised her slender, jade-like hand, her fingertips not even touching the expensive bouquet of flowers. Instead, an invisible, overwhelming, and gentle force suddenly burst forth.

"Hoohoo!"

That carefully prepared bouquet of starlight and moonlight seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and then violently flung outwards.

The vibrant bouquet of flowers drew a disarrayed arc in the air, accompanied by a mournful whistling wind, and landed precisely and solidly on the face of Qian Gu Zhang Ting, a face etched with astonishment and disbelief.

The delicate petals shattered instantly, and the sap mixed with dew smeared all over his head and face.

A few petals hung comically on his high nose and meticulously groomed eyebrows.

The expensive bouquet completely disintegrated, scattering into a mess on the ground.

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

A burst of suppressed laughter and gasps erupted from the crowd, spreading rapidly like a plague.

Everyone stared in disbelief at this scene. Who could have imagined that the number one genius of the Spirit Pagoda would be so easily and mercilessly humiliated by a first-year student in front of everyone!

Qian Gu Zhangting froze completely.

The cool, sticky sensation on his face and the broken feel of the petals pierced his pride like countless needles.

An unprecedented sense of immense humiliation erupted like volcanic lava, instantly burning his eyes red.

His handsome face contorted instantly, his body trembled slightly from extreme anger, his knuckles clenched until they turned white, and a violent surge of soul power emanated uncontrollably from him, causing several students nearby to feel a suffocating pressure.

The guards behind him paled and instinctively took a step forward, but stopped abruptly under Qian Gu Zhangting's terrifying, almost predatory gaze, caught in a dilemma. However, the instigator of all this didn't even bother to glance at him.

Gu Yuena seemed to casually brush away a buzzing fly. Under the focus of countless shocked, admiring, and gloating gazes, she remained indifferent and walked with composure.

Those two long, slender legs, encased in uniform trousers, strode forward, passing directly through the automatically parted passage of the crowd, and gracefully walked towards Lu Jun, who had just stood still.

All eyes in the crowd turned to the tall, languid-looking boy.

Gu Yuena walked up to Lu Jun and stopped.

The icy aura on her face seemed to melt away in an instant, and a barely perceptible hint of relief and a faint complaint flashed in her purple eyes.

Gu Yuena slightly furrowed her beautiful eyebrows, her voice carrying a familiar tone that only those close to her could hear, like a complaint to a companion:
"Why did you take so long to arrive?" She turned her head slightly, glancing out of the corner of her eye at the mess behind her and the ancient pavilion standing stiff as a sculpture. Her tone was flat and indifferent. "These people are so annoying."

After saying that, she reached out her hand very naturally, her movements so fluid and without the slightest hesitation, and gently took Lu Jun's arm.

That posture conveyed a trust and reliance that needed no words.

When Gu Yuena's cool, delicate arm reached out to him, Lu Jun's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment.

He looked down and met a pair of clear, purple eyes that flashed with a hint of distress, and he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Then Lu Jun's gaze turned to the disheveled figure in the arena, whose resentment was almost tangible.

Looking at Qian Gu Zhangting's face covered in flower juice and his eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

Lu Jun remained silent.

I'm just here to watch the drama unfold.

I'm not here to be a spectator!

"Hey..." Lu Jun lowered his voice, "Dear Gu Yuena, you're trying to get me killed."

He glanced at Qian Gu Zhangting, who was standing not far away with his face covered in flower juice and eyes so venomous they looked like they were about to bleed, and felt that the other person was about to pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

Gu Yuena also lowered her voice, her usually cold tone carrying a rare hint of annoyance and weariness: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu. This person... his skin is as thick as a city wall."

"I brought up my family background, hinted at my rejection many times, and even took physical action, but he was like a piece of chewing gum that I couldn't shake off, clinging to me relentlessly and refusing to listen to reason."

She frowned slightly, her purple eyes revealing genuine distress.

"I really have no other choice. Please help me, please, I'll consider it an obligation."

Lu Jun's lips twitched violently.

Looking at the rare pleading look in Gu Yuena's eyes, and recalling how Gu Yuena had helped him almost without expecting anything in return in the past.

This made Lu Jun hesitate, the words of refusal swirling in his throat, before finally turning into a resigned sigh.

“…Fine.” He uttered two words resignedly, his voice not loud, but carrying a sense of resignation to being in trouble. “This is the only time, and it will not happen again.”

If it weren't for old feelings and the real debt of gratitude, he would have immediately shaken off this troublemaker's arm and gone as far away as possible.
