Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 56 A Tsundere Girl? Out of the meta!
"Sister Xinglan, save me!"

Upon seeing the blonde girl, Xu Lizhi felt as if he had seen a savior. He scrambled to hide behind her, his chubby body still trembling slightly.

"what happened?"

Ye Xinglan glanced at Jiang Yi and the others, a hint of coldness rising in her beautiful eyes. Then, she turned to Xu Lizhi and asked.

"Sister Xinglan, I... I just wanted to... trade some dried fish with them..."

Xu Lizhi spoke with a wronged tone, his fingers nervously poking at each other, his head hanging lower and lower.

"Hmph, serves you right! How many times have I told you not to eat anything from strangers? Why don't you ever learn?"

Ye Xinglan snorted coldly, her tone clearly showing her annoyance.

In the few days since they arrived in Tianhai City, they have already witnessed all sorts of people trying to get close to Shrek Academy. Xu Lizhi's foolish appearance makes him the easiest to be taken advantage of.

"I know I was wrong, Sister Xinglan..."

Xu Lizhi's voice grew softer and softer as he obediently lowered his head to admit his mistake, looking just like a child being scolded by his mother.

"Wipe it yourself!"

Ye Xinglan glanced at the dust on Xu Lizhi's body, said nothing more, and simply frowned as she pulled out a few tissues and handed them over.

This chubby boy is simple-minded and is one of the few friends she can talk to in the academy. No matter how annoyed she is with him, she can't really ignore him.

"Who did it?"

Ye Xinglan ignored Xu Lizhi behind her and took a few steps forward.

Her long golden hair fluttered slightly with her movements, and her gaze was sharp as a sword, like a blade ready to be drawn at any moment.

People from Shrek Academy are not to be trifled with!
"What? You stole something and now you want to hit me? I'm so scared!"

Xie Xie deliberately dragged out his words, exaggeratedly clutching his chest, and said to Ye Xinglan in a sarcastic tone.

The moment this blond-haired girl appeared, Xie Xie couldn't stand her; his chin practically floated to the sky.

Steal? Impossible!
Ye Xinglan subconsciously felt it was impossible; Xu Lizhi was such an honest and simple person.

"I did it, is there a problem?"

Jiang Yi calmly met her gaze, neither flinching nor avoiding it.

"As for whether it was stolen or not, why don't you just ask the person behind you?"

He had anticipated Ye Xinglan's attitude; the arrogant swordswoman always deserved a good beating.

What fallen female sword immortal? What fairy's cultivation? Ye Xinglan still lacks the Dao heart experience of Fairy Pei.

I am unworthy to be called a member of an evil organization...

"Ok?"

Ye Xinglan frowned upon hearing this and turned to look at Xu Lizhi.

The chubby boy trembled violently, his head drooping even lower, almost burying itself in his chest, and he dared not meet her gaze.

Ye Xinglan immediately understood.

However, given the circumstances, she was already being pressured and naturally couldn't admit it.

"Hmph! You think it's stealing just because you say so? It's not like we're not going to pay."

Ye Xinglan said, her head held high, but her tone lacked confidence.

Faced with Ye Xinglan's sophistry, Xie Xie laughed at this moment. He raised his hand and pointed into the distance, with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Go ahead and say those things to them..."

In the distance, several uniformed staff members were walking towards them from the corridor.

He just reported the message to the event management committee using the contact information provided by the competition organizers.

"Please come with us, both of you."

The staff member stepped forward, showed his work badge, and spoke to Ye Xinglan and the other person.

After receiving the report, they immediately checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that it was indeed the chubby boy who was at fault.

Not only did he wander around begging for food and disrupt the peace, but his theft alone was enough to land him in the police station.

However, the other party's identity is somewhat sensitive, so they have to come and take them back to deal with it.

"Sister Xinglan..."

Xu Lizhi then looked up in alarm at Ye Xinglan, his round face full of bewilderment.

How to do this?
"go!"

Ye Xinglan glared at him irritably and left with the two staff members.

He still dared to lie to her... Otherwise, she would have run away with Xu Lizhi immediately, instead of being caught red-handed like this.

Xu Lizhi followed behind her with his head hanging low and feeling uneasy.

"Xie Xie, not bad. When did you notify me? And where did you get my contact information?"

Xu Xiaoyan turned to look at Xie Xie with considerable surprise.

"Hehe! Isn't the contact information written on the wall?"

Xie Xie proudly waved the communicator in his hand and gestured towards a string of mysterious numbers on the stadium wall.

As a major event held every three years, the Tianhai Alliance officially attaches great importance to it.

"Alright! Never mind them, let's continue watching the show."

Jiang Yi smiled and spoke, drawing everyone's attention back to the stage.

At this moment, a group of hot young ladies had taken over the stage and started performing energetic short programs.

Her appearance and figure... were breathtakingly beautiful. Xie Xie stared, his eyes wide, while the girls beside him blushed and quickly looked away.

So embarrassing...

"You like this kind of thing?"

Gu Yue, who had been silent all along, had somehow moved closer to Jiang Yi.

She watched the hot, wild dance on stage, twisting her waist and swaying her hips, and asked him softly.

"I'm just admiring it."

Jiang Yi didn't turn around, but just looked at the young lady on the stage with clear eyes, and defended himself.

However, it must be said that, nourished by soul power, the appearance of people in Douluo Continent is generally much higher, and their figures are also extremely unfair.

"I understand."

Gu Yue seemed to have thought of something and nodded thoughtfully.

"Ok?"

Jiang Yi then realized that it was Gu Yue speaking. He glanced at Gu Yue, a strange sense of unease creeping into his heart.

What do you understand, old man?

Gu Yue remained silent, only understanding.

After a series of exciting short performances, the audience's enthusiasm was ignited, and then the highlight of the opening ceremony took to the stage.

A broadcast announcement rang out throughout the entire Tianhai Stadium.

"Next, please welcome the Shrek Academy team to have a friendly match with the defending champions, the Tianhai Alliance team! Please give them a warm round of applause!"

As the broadcast ended, two teams of seven took to the stage from opposite sides.

The Shrek Academy team members were all fourteen or fifteen years old, and at the very back were Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, who had just been there, but their expressions were not very good.

Xie Xie and the others in the audience immediately noticed.

"So they're from the Shrek Academy team?" Xu Xiaoyan pursed her lips. "No wonder their school uniforms looked familiar."

"Shrek..."

Standing next to Jiang Yi, Tang Wuling's eyes darkened slightly, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

She felt as if the image of Shrek in her heart had been shattered into pieces.

"Shrek's fetish is quite strange, a big fat pig and a beautiful girl together."

Xie Xie let out a soft "Eh," and blurted out his unfiltered criticism.

Although the blond girl was arrogant, she was quite good-looking. Standing next to that fat man, she looked rather strange.

"Don't say anything out of the ordinary."

Jiang Yi glanced at him helplessly.

You're making baseless accusations; if someone blocks your door later, don't come crying to your mother.

Amidst the chatter of the group, the competition on stage began quickly, but the outcome was decided almost instantly.

A thunderous roar suddenly exploded in the center of the arena, and a blinding blue light instantly swept across the entire ring.

Before the audience could even get a clear look at what was happening, the battle was already over.

The seven members of the Tianhai Alliance collapsed neatly on the competition stage, while the seven members of Shrek remained in their original formation, completely unharmed.

Destroy everything!

The entire stadium fell silent for a moment, followed by thunderous applause.

"interesting."

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although the Tianhai Alliance's soul power level was clearly higher, the Shrek team's use of soul skills, timing, and teamwork were far superior to their opponents'.

That's why they were able to win against all odds and achieve such a decisive victory.

Shrek Academy's ability to stand for tens of thousands of years is truly not without reason.

Ye Xinglan stood in the center of the arena, proudly raising her chin, enjoying the glory of Shrek Academy. Even the unpleasantness of being scolded by Shen Yi just now vanished at this moment.

After the exhibition match, the opening ceremony officially came to a close, and the audience left in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.

Jiang Yi and his group followed the flow of people back to the hotel, and the journey was uneventful.

……

"call!"

Back in his room, Jiang Yi took a relaxing hot shower and came out wrapped only in a towel.

He was alone in the room; Xie Xie had gone out to buy dinner. Although the hotel food was good, they were getting tired of it after a couple of days.

"Thump! Thump thump!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"You never bring your keys again, next time you should really sleep in the hallway."

Jiang Yi put down the hair dryer and said irritably.

However, when he opened the door and saw the blonde girl standing outside, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Long golden hair, a face as cold as ice, and beautiful yet arrogant eyes staring unblinkingly at him.

It was Ye Xinglan.
