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

About ten minutes later, Gu Yi suddenly appeared in the room.

Considering that Zhu Zhuqing might worry about him, Gu Yi immediately used his soul skill to return.

But as soon as he looked into the living room, a figure grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the door, giving him no chance to resist.

"Hey! What are you doing? Wait!"

Gu Yi felt a little panicked as he watched Zhu Zhuqing getting further and further away from him, and struggled a little.

The next moment, he finally realized that the person who had grabbed him was actually Hu Liena.

"Alright, I have something to ask you. If you cooperate, we can finish quickly."

Hu Liena whispered an explanation in his ear, gripping his hand even tighter.

Then, she looked at Zhu Zhuqing in the living room and smiled, "I'll just borrow him for a bit, I'll return him to you soon."

After saying that, she pulled Gu Yi and quickly ran out of the room towards the dormitory rooftop.

Gu Yi thought that he was still grateful for Hu Liena's reminder during the day, so he let her pull him along without resisting anymore.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, although she was somewhat angry, she was mostly relieved when she saw that Gu Yi was alright.

She thought for a while, but instead of chasing after him, she sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for Gu Yi to return.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena had already brought Gu Yi to the rooftop.

She stared at Gu Yi and asked seriously, "How is it? My teacher didn't do anything to you, did she?"

"Where's your grandfather? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Hu Liena's curiosity has been piqued, and her mind is filled with questions.

"It's nothing. My grandfather has become an elder of the Spirit Hall, and now I've become a candidate for the Holy Son. In a year, I'll be able to compete with you for the position of Holy Son."

Gu Yi spoke very casually, as if it were a trivial family matter, insignificant.

"Ok?"

Hu Liena was stunned when she heard the news. Her smile froze on her face, and her mind went blank.

"What did you just say? You want to compete with me for the position of Holy Son?"

"A year from now? Give me a clearer explanation!"

Hu Liena was getting anxious. What was all this about?

They've only been here a few days, how come so many things have happened?

Now, he'll have to compete with her for the position of Holy Son?

To be honest, Hu Lie

Na wasn't afraid. She had her own pride and confidence, and she didn't think she would definitely lose.

But this sudden event caught her completely off guard, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

"It all comes down to who performs better in the Soul Master Competition a year from now. If I perform better, then the position of Holy Son might just be mine."

Gu Yi's face remained as calm as still water, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"That's it? Did my teacher say anything else?"

Hu Liena pressed on with further questions.

"That's it. How much more complicated do you want it to be?"

Gu Yi waved his hand helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena was somewhat lost in thought, as if two images were already flashing through her mind.

One option is for Gu Yi to win, and then grovel before Gu Yi.

One possibility is that Gu Yi wins, leaving him only able to stand in front of the Spirit Hall and stare blankly at the main gate.

When the second image appeared, Hu Liena hurriedly shook her head, somewhat unwilling to recall it.

The Spirit Hall rescued her when she was most helpless and gave her a warm home. She loves this place deeply and will never give it up to anyone else!

Thinking of this, a strong fighting spirit ignited in Hu Liena's eyes. She looked at Gu Yi again and solemnly said, "Gu Yi, listen carefully."

"I, Hu Liena, will never lose to you, absolutely not!"

After saying this, she turned and ran away in a hurry, but what she said just now was very powerful.

Watching her departing figure, Gu Yi smiled, a gentle smile.

From his perspective, he didn't want to mock this girl who was working hard for her dream.

He looks forward to the other person's growth, but at the same time, he will also deliver the fatal blow in the end.

"Keep it up. If you can beat me, then I have nothing to say."

Gu Yi looked at the air in front of him and muttered to himself.

But as he was talking, he seemed to remember something, and the smile on his face disappeared. He hurriedly ran downstairs.

He rushed into the room in one go and stood in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

"How was it, Zhuqing? You didn't have to wait too long, did you?"

Gu Yi asked tentatively, his cautious manner making Zhu Zhuqing want to laugh.

"Ahem! Come here."

Zhu Zhuqing coughed twice, then patted the sofa next to her, gesturing for Gu Yi to sit down beside her.

"it is good."

Gu Yi responded and quickly sat down next to her.

Seeing Gu Yi approach, Zhu Zhuqing gently leaned her head against his shoulder.

She likes it this way; it makes her feel safe.

"Alright, you can talk now. Tell me, what happened to you today?"

Zhu Zhuqing waited for Gu Yi in the dormitory all day, not knowing what he was doing outside or whether he was safe.

That was actually a form of torture, making her very anxious.

Gu Yi naturally knew all this, which is why he was in such a hurry just now.

He gently stroked Zhu Zhuqing's head, and then slowly told her about what had happened that day.

He only stopped petting the cat after explaining everything clearly.

"I see. Do you want this holy son?"

After learning everything, Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.

She didn't consider the pros and cons; she only cared about Gu Yi's choice.

“Of course, I want this position of Holy Son.”

"Only in this way can I guarantee your safety when chaos comes."

Gu Yi answered without hesitation.

"Then I'll support you. Whatever you want to do, I'll help you."

Zhu Zhuqing said earnestly.

"is it?"

"Alright, there's one thing you absolutely must do right now."

Gu Yi looked at the serious and earnest Zhu Zhuqing and asked her with a smile.

"Hmm? Is...is that so? Tell me."

Looking at his expression, Zhu Zhuqing had a bad feeling.

"The thing you should do right now is to go take a shower and then wait for me in the bedroom."

Gu Yi seemed to be joking, but Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks instantly turned bright red, and she nodded shyly.

"Ah."

She responded in a voice barely audible, then quickly rushed into her room.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yi was taken aback. Just kidding, how could anyone take this seriously?

"Ah!"

"Looks like I'd better hurry."

As Gu Yi spoke, he took out the God-given Soul Ring from the system's inventory and began to absorb it.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Let's level up first, so we can be even stronger!

Chapter 90 Planning

Pope's Palace.

"Old Ghost, what exactly do you want to tell me? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Juhua Guan looked at the ghost with some confusion and asked.

They are currently in a secret chamber within the Ghost Room, a place they usually use to discuss confidential matters; it is extremely mysterious.

But they haven't been here for a long time. The last time was when they followed Qian Xunji to besiege Tang Hao.

He was a little confused when Ghost suddenly summoned him here.

"I have a secret to tell you."

"You should know what the gap between level 95 and level 96 represents, right?"

"If I told you that I've found a way to cross this chasm, would you want to hear it?"

Ghost made no attempt to hide the longing in his eyes, and his right hand trembled slightly as he spoke.

"Method? What method!"

Upon hearing Gui Mei mention it, Ju Hua Guan became excited as well, his eyes shining with the same light.
