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

"Of course we've become more familiar with each other, what's so strange about that?"

Gu Rong looked at Gu Yi with a puzzled expression and asked in return.

"Hmm? You're talking to Auntie about my and Xiaowu's childhood. Is that fun?"

"You brought it up?"

Gu Yi didn't quite understand.

"Well, it's alright. At least it helps pass the time and keeps me from getting too bored."

Gu Rong doesn't particularly want to cultivate right now. He feels that he's probably reached his limit and there won't be any further improvement.

With Gu Yi around, he will soon surpass him, and he won't need to work so hard.

"Since that's the case, then you can continue your conversation. I just came to remind you."

After realizing he had been overthinking things, Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

After they finished speaking, they opened the door to the quiet room again and went out together.

But right there in the courtyard, two people were waiting for them.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Upon seeing the strangers suddenly appear in the courtyard, Gu Rong's vigilance instantly reached its peak.

Two elderly men stood before them, both dressed in fine clothes and exuding an imposing aura. The mere presence they emanated was enough to tell that they were powerful figures!

"Greetings, Elder Gu. We are elders from the Hall of Elders' Worship."

"We have come here to invite you to the Elders' Hall to enjoy higher rights and offerings."

"And Gu Yi, the Grand Elder already knows about what happened yesterday. He made special arrangements so that as long as your soul power reaches the Soul Douluo level, he can also arrange for you to enter the Douluo Hall."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime honor, so you two should seize it."

One of the elderly men in blue robes looked at Gu Yi and his companion with a smile, speaking in a very respectful tone.

'Speak of the devil, and he appears! Luckily I arrived in time, or I would have been in real trouble.'

Gu Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm? What happened yesterday?" Gu Rong asked, puzzled. He turned to Gu Yi and asked, "Yi'er, what did you do yesterday?"

Following Gu Yi's instructions, he stayed by Xiao Wu and her daughter's side after returning to the Spirit Hall, protecting their safety and never leaving.

Therefore, he was not particularly aware of what was happening outside.

"Elder Gu, are you unaware of this matter? Then let me explain."

"Yesterday, young friend Gu Yi really opened our eyes. We never imagined that a Soul Saint could kill a level 96 Title Douluo."

"Furthermore, we are very curious about your domain skill, young friend. Could you please tell us more about it?"

When Gu Yi killed Elder Ming, the two of them were there watching. While they were curious, they were also filled with lingering fear.

This kid is already this strong at just the Soul Saint level. What will he be like when he breaks through to the Title Douluo level?

But Gu Yi's cultivation

With such terrifying talent, becoming a Title Douluo is practically a certainty.

That's why they're being so polite and respectful now.

"Killed a Title Douluo? Yi'er? Are you alright? You shouldn't be injured, right?"

"Which Title Douluo attacked you? I'll go and wipe out his entire family right now!"

Gu Rong's primary concern was Gu Yi's health. He couldn't believe that Gu Yi hadn't been injured after forcibly engaging in battle with a Title Douluo.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, my injury has healed a long time ago, and I'm fine now."

"I'll tell you about this later."

Gu Yi said softly.

"Alright, next time something like this happens, just come to Grandpa, and Grandpa will deal with him!"

"However, you've become quite formidable now, managing to kill a Title Douluo. It seems I'm truly getting old."

Gu Rong looked at Gu Yi with a gratified expression, feeling extremely proud.

He was truly delighted to have such a wonderful grandson, who was not only incredibly strong and talented but also so shrewd and calculating—he was simply amazing!

"Alright, Grandpa, let's answer the questions of these two elders first."

As he spoke, Gu Yi gave Gu Rong another wink.

"okay."

Gu Rong immediately understood his meaning, nodded, and looked at the two old men again.

"I'm sorry, but I prefer to stay here now. Please thank the High Priest for his kindness. My strength is too weak, so I'll pass."

Gu Rong spoke very politely, knowing that now was definitely not the time to offend the Douluo Hall.

"This... Elder Gu is really joking."

"With your strength, you are definitely capable of entering the Douluo Hall of Worship."

"You should know that after entering the Douluo Offering Hall, you will enjoy much more generous offerings, which are far more generous than the treatment you are currently receiving."

"Furthermore, after you join the Elders' Hall, you will only need to obey the orders of the High Priest, which will give you more freedom."

"Would you like to reconsider?"

The elder in blue robes had no intention of giving up and tried to persuade him again.

He came with orders this time; if he fails, he'll definitely get a scolding when he gets back.

"Want to think about it some more? Then come back in a few days. This is a big matter, and I need to think it over carefully."

The ancient banyan tree feigned difficulty and replied.

"This……"

The two elderly men exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat troubled and hesitant.

Qian Daoliu's order to them was to recruit Gu Rong and Gu Yi today, but right now, Gu Rong is clearly not giving them any face!

"What? Don't I even have time to consider it?"

"Although it's not a big deal, nor is it a bad thing, I still have my own thoughts to consider. Is that not allowed?"

Gu Rong walked a little closer to the two old men and questioned them.

"Uh……"

The two old men looked at each other again, unsure of how to respond.

"Hey!"

"Alright then, we'll do as Elder Gu says. You can think it over today, and we'll come back tomorrow."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade Gu Rong, they had no choice but to settle for second best and keep Gu Rong on their toes for now.

"Yes, that's right."

"You can leave now. Let me think about it."

With that, Gu Rong waved his hand, signaling them to leave quickly.

"Then we'll take our leave."

Left with no other option, the two old men quickly left the ancient banyan tree's residence.

"Go back and explain the situation to the Grand Elder; he should be able to understand."

"Ah."

Now, all they want is to avoid being held accountable.

On the other side, Gu Rong and Gu Yi watched their departing figures and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Well done, Grandpa, you really know your stuff."

Gu Yi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Of course, I used to be... never mind, anyway, don't worry, no matter how many times they come, I can handle it."

"Just focus on doing your own thing."

Gu Rong patted his chest and assured him.

"In that case, I can rest assured."

"In two more days, this competition will be over. After that, I may be away for a long time. You must take good care of them."

After the Elite Competition ends, Gu Yi plans to head straight to the City of Slaughter, where the God of Asura will be testing him; he absolutely must go.

After hearing his words, Gu Rong didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded.

"Don't worry, with Grandpa here, everything will be fine."

Chapter 146 Facing Shrek

The following day at noon, at the Spirit Hall venue.

"Today, we will determine the top three teams."

"Now, please invite the captains of the remaining teams to come forward and draw lots."

Now, only five teams remain in the venue: Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Shrek Academy, Spirit Hall Academy, Gale Academy, and Blazing Fire Academy.

If they can advance today, they will enter the final.

"Arena No. 1, Spirit Hall Academy versus Shrek Academy."

"Second Arena: Heavenly Dou Royal Academy versus Blazing Fire Academy."

"Swiftwind Academy gets a bye."

"All teams, please enter the arena to participate in the competition!"

In the arena, the referee looked at the number in his hand and shouted loudly.
