Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

"If I had made a move just now, none of you would have survived."

"You've lost. If you understand, then work hard from now on and don't come looking for me again."

After saying all this, Gu Yi's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"This...the difference shouldn't be this big!"

"How on earth did he do it?"

Yu Tianheng's feelings were complicated at this moment. He believed that his diligence and efforts over the past year were no less than Gu Yi's.

But why is it that in just one year, the gap has widened so much?

"Forget it, Tianheng, that's a monster. Let's focus on the Elite Tournament instead."

Dugu Yan patted Yu Tianheng on the shoulder and offered words of comfort.

At this point, she had no desire to fight Gu Yi anymore. He was simply not in the same league as her; how could she possibly fight him?

"Elite Tournament?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Gu Yi will definitely participate in this year's Elite Competition. With him there, what difference does it make whether we participate or not?"

"Don't worry about me, I want to go to Tiandou City to clear my head."

After saying that, Yu Tianheng walked dejectedly towards Tiandou City. He didn't want to see Gu Yi again for the time being.

After all that fuss, it turned out to be a joke, which was a huge blow to him.

"Tian Heng..."

Dugu Yan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Ye Lingling.

"Let's let the captain calm down first. He needs to figure this out himself."

Chapter 123 Bai Qiu

"Zhuqing! I'm back!"

"Haven't you cultivated enough yet?"

Gu Yi took out a large number of things from his soul tool, almost all of them were delicious.

After placing them all on the living room table, he walked straight to the bedroom.

In Gu Yi's heart, it didn't really matter whether Zhu Zhuqing cultivated or not; he would naturally protect her anyway.

"Huh? No one?"

Where did she go?

Gu Yi scanned the bedroom but did not find Zhu Zhuqing.

Instead, there was a note left on the bed.

"Xiao Wu and I are going out for a walk. We'll be back later."

"Don't worry, we asked Grandpa to come with us, nothing will happen."

Gu Yi glanced at the contents of the note, but didn't have many thoughts about it.

It's just a bit of a pity; he brought back so much delicious food, and now it might all go to waste.

"Well, now I finally have some time to sort out the things I need to do next."

Gu Yi has been having fun these past few days, although he already has a rough plan in mind for what will happen next.

But the details have never been clear.

"First and foremost, we need to get through this elite competition. Ideally, we should raise our soul power to the Soul Douluo level during this period."

"Then we should head to the City of Slaughter. After that, we'll need to figure out how to complete the Asura God's test."

"And then there's the Star Dou Great Forest. It's time to start preparing for what we agreed on with Er Ming before."

The matter I made with Erming has been dragging on for far too long; it's time to take action now.

Gu Yi estimates that there are still about twenty days left until the end of the qualifiers here.

"Relying solely on intensive training to reach the Soul Douluo level might still be quite difficult."

"Looks like I need to find a way to improve the favorability rating of those people in the system list."

Gu Yi hadn't opened this system list in a long time. If it weren't for the increasing urgency of time, Gu Yi might have completely forgotten about it.

After all, once he had Zhu Zhuqing, he rarely paid attention to other people's feelings for him anymore.

He didn't try to deliberately improve anyone's favorability like he had before; everything just happened naturally.

But now, he might be going back to his old ways and try to squeeze some money out of people.

"Currently, only Zhu Qing has full favorability; the others either have none at all or only a little."

"Right now, the only people we can contact are Xiao Wu, Hu Liena, and Shui Bing'er."

"But Xiao Wu... let's just forget about it."

To be honest, Gu Yi didn't want to include Xiao Wu in his list of targets, not because he disliked her, but because he felt it wasn't a good idea.

She's developed a really strong liking for Gu Yi right now, and if things continue like this, he's afraid she might actually fall in love with him.

He just wanted to use the system to get some benefits; he still only had Zhu Zhuqing in his heart, and he didn't plan to change anything afterward.

Now, he'd rather focus on increasing Hu Liena and Shui Bing'er's favorability. If they only have a slight liking for him, he can easily extricate himself later without worrying about hurting them.

"Then it's decided. Let's go find Hu Liena first and see if we can..."

What opportunities are there?

With that thought in mind, Gu Yi no longer hesitated. After summoning his bone wings, he flew towards Tian Dou City.

……

Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall.

"Brother Bai, as a cardinal, how could you not know about such a thing?"

"This time, you must help your brother out of consideration for our relationship."

In a quiet room within the Spirit Hall, Huo Ming and Huo Wu stood before a middle-aged man dressed in a red robe.

"It's not that I, Bai Qiu, am unwilling to help you, it's just that the trouble you've gotten into this time is just too big."

Do you know who Gu Yi is?

"That's the grandson of one of our Spirit Hall elders! Even His Holiness the Pope is very fond of him."

“Even Bishop Salas, my superior, doesn’t dare to give him a hard time. How can you expect me to help you?”

Bai Qiu looked helpless. He looked at Huo Ming and the other person as if they were plague gods.

"We really didn't know he was so powerful, which is why we made such a big mistake."

"I don't need you to come forward, Brother Bai. Just tell me Gu Yi's current location and preferences."

"I'll handle the rest; I definitely won't be a burden to you, Brother Bai."

Huo Ming is getting more and more alarmed the more he investigates; he's completely distraught.

All he wants now is to appease that troublemaker as soon as possible and prevent it from affecting his academy and family.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to deal with it.

With such a powerful and arrogant young master, Huo Ming would worry about his safety if he was in a bad mood.

"How can I possibly know the information you want?"

"To be honest, several powerful figures have arrived in our temple these past two days, and all the resources in the temple are now focused on them."

"Even I can't mobilize them. I'm completely alone now, where am I supposed to get intelligence?"

Bai Qiu shrugged, looking utterly helpless.

"Is there really no way at all?"

"We only had a minor disagreement with him, are we really going to be sentenced to death?"

Huo Ming slumped weakly in his chair and shouted. At this moment, he had already imagined more than ten scenarios of his family being destroyed and his people dying.

Our client, Gu Yi, is currently unaware of this and is on his way.

“I don’t know much about that great deity’s personality, but I think you don’t need to worry so much.”

"If he's really angry, what you're doing now won't make any difference."

"Moreover, if he wanted to harm you, I would definitely get the news immediately, and he would definitely come here to make arrangements."

"But so much time has passed and he still hasn't come. What does that mean? It means he probably doesn't take what you said to heart."

"So you should go back now and do what you need to do. Don't feel pressured. I'll let you know if anything happens."

This is all Bai Qiu can do right now. If it weren't for their good personal relationship, he wouldn't bother with it.

"Alright, then I thank you very much, Brother Bai."

"Farewell."

Seeing that there was no hope of getting help here, Huo Ming didn't plan to stay any longer. After getting up and bowing to express his gratitude, he planned to take Huo Wu back to think of another way.

But just as they reached the entrance of the Spirit Hall, Gu Yi arrived.

He gracefully landed at the entrance of the Spirit Hall, blocking Huo Ming and the others' path.

"Yes! Gu Yi!"

The sudden appearance of Gu Yike startled Huo Ming.

He remembered what Bai Qiu had said earlier, and his heart immediately tightened.

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Gu Yi was also taken aback, not expecting them to be here.

Before Gu Yi could think further, Huo Wu suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of her father.

"Gu Yi! If you want revenge, come after me, but don't touch my family!"
