In Douluo Continent, I saved Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning.

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment."

"Huh? There's someone else here." Lin Yan was taken aback. He looked back.

At this moment, Dugu Bo also cooperated by dodging his figure.

"Dean Flander, you're here too?" Lin Yan was taken aback; this guy hadn't been here in a long time.

As his gaze shifted, he saw another person. He was somewhat unsure—was this…a master?

"Mr. Lin, this is Yu Xiaogang."

That's how Flanders explained it. He's already decided to sever ties with the other party.

As expected of a master, how did he end up looking like this bird?

Judging from the blood on the clothes and the ground, it must have been at least two pounds.

And those two handprints on his face, I have to say, they were well done.

It's a pity I didn't play enough.

After all, having read the original novel, Lin Yan disliked him the most, and he was one of the characters he disliked the most.

The contestant picks up the bowl and eats. The contestant puts down the bowl and scolds the chef.

She's just a level 29 Soul Master. Her so-called invincible theory is nothing more than a result of Bibi Dong entering the Spirit Hall and summarizing the experiences accumulated by countless predecessors over the years.

However, they shamelessly claimed it as their own research findings.

If you're so amazing, why don't you develop your own?

Moreover, not only is he useless, but he also always tries to take advantage of others.

"Since you're all busy, I won't keep you any longer."

Seeing this, Lin Yan waved to the two of them.

"I'm not busy..." Flander's face darkened. He knew that Yu Xiaogang had offended the big boss.

Otherwise, given the big shot's hospitable nature, he would at least treat me to a meal since he's already here.

My opportunities have all been ruined by this piece of trash.

Yu Xiaogang reacted even more violently. He actually knelt down on the ground with a 'plop'.

"I, Yu Xiaogang, wish to become Mr. Lin's disciple!"

"What? You want to become my disciple?" Lin Yan was stunned.

This plot is going wrong. Isn't your master supposed to be arrogant and aloof? Why would he even look at an ordinary person like me?

Do I really have some extraordinary talent?

Am I some kind of legendary master? The kind of person who's clearly very strong but doesn't even realize it?

Don't joke around.

Just a few days later, he even had Zhu Zhuqing test him, and he was unable to awaken his martial soul at all.

Without a martial spirit, one cannot cultivate; without cultivation, one is not a strong person.

As for any supernatural abilities outside of the Douluo Continent, they simply do not exist.

"I'm sorry, we're not compatible..." Lin Yan said calmly. "We have no master-disciple relationship."

Don't hesitate, just refuse.

"Why?" Yu Xiaogang asked blankly.

“I don’t need a reason to refuse you. Dean Flander, take this person back the way you brought him here.” After saying that, Lin Yan turned around and went into the courtyard first.

He felt very disappointed.

Dugu Yan took a step and followed closely behind.

Only Dugu Bo gave Yu Xiaogang a meaningful look, as if to say, "You're finished."

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang involuntarily shivered. He had a bad feeling.

Chapter Seventy-Six: A Warning to Yu Xiaogang

Dugu Bo reached out and pointed, and a ray of dark light entered Yu Xiaogang's brow.

"Mr. Dugu, what is this?" Flander asked in confusion.

Yu Xiaogang was even more bewildered, but before he could figure out what was going on, he fainted.

"It's nothing, just a warning. You'll understand when he wakes up."

Then, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly. "Have you forgotten what Mr. Lin just said? Aren't you leaving yet, waiting for the New Year? Or are you waiting for this old man to send you on your way?"

Upon hearing this, Flander's heart tightened immediately. He grabbed the unconscious Yu Xiaogang and fled as if his life depended on it.

On the other side, Dugu Yan was utterly shocked as soon as Lin Yan entered the room.

Her soul power instantly became more active. In fact, a single breath from her was equivalent to ten days of arduous training.

This place is even more powerful than Grandpa's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes... I never imagined that the seemingly unremarkable courtyard would turn out to be such a hidden paradise.

The place where the masters cultivate is indeed not as simple as it seems.

Wait a minute... something's not right!

A woman's intuition is terrifying; Dugu Yan keenly sensed that two eyes were simultaneously fixed on her.

"This, this is, such strong hostility."

She felt uneasy and subconsciously moved closer to Lin Yan.

But this subconscious action made Dugu Yan feel that the hostility instantly intensified.

Following her gaze, Dugu Yan was stunned.

Not far away were two girls.

A woman dressed in a long black dress had an icy expression on her stunningly beautiful face that seemed to say, "Keep your distance, strangers!"

The other girl, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Her white dress just reached her knees, and her fair skin looked so delicate it seemed you could squeeze water out of it. Her bright eyes occasionally sparkled with intelligence.

Without a doubt, it was Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, one still and one moving, both incredibly beautiful.

Even Dugu Yan, being a girl, was taken aback.

Such beautiful girls are a rare sight, even one is a rare treat. Unexpectedly, two have appeared here at once.

Why are they so hostile towards me?

This question didn't linger for long before Dugu Yan understood.

Suddenly, two stunningly beautiful girls waved to Lin Yan at the same time: "Teacher, come here quickly."

Teachers? They're all Mr. Lin's students?

Dugu Yan was taken aback. Her grandfather hadn't mentioned this either.

However, Master Lin is strong and handsome, so isn't it normal for him to have two more beautiful female apprentices?

Dugu Yan was a free-spirited and open-minded person. She didn't think there was anything wrong with a man having several beautiful women around him.

On the contrary, this is a testament to strength.

"You guys..." Lin Yan walked over helplessly. How could he possibly hide the girl's thoughts from him?

This looks like it's been eating lemons.

When he got closer.

Ning Rongrong, as if afraid he would run away, first grabbed Lin Yan's left arm. Zhu Zhuqing, sensing this, silently retaliated by grabbing his other arm as well.

Arm.

Then, both of them subtly gestured with their chins towards Dugu Yan, who arrived later.

It seems to be asserting its sovereignty.

"Teacher, who is she?"

Uh… Lin Yan looked at the two girls who were guarding their food and couldn’t help but feel speechless. “This is Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Brother Dugu. From now on, she will be your… junior sister.”

Everything has its order, and although Dugu Yan is a bit older, the order cannot be changed.

Then, Lin Yan introduced, "Yanzi, the one in the black dress is Zhu Zhuqing, the eldest senior sister. The one in the white dress is Ning Rongrong, the second senior sister."

Ning Rongrong? The princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Although I've never met her, Ning Rongrong's identity and reputation are well-known among the high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Unexpectedly, the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also Master Lin's disciple... This is truly a surprise.

Now she knows why Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo helped Dugu Bo in front of Wuhun City.

Despite having many thoughts, Dugu Yan did not lose her manners. She bowed slightly to her two 'seniors'. "Greetings, Senior Sister and Second Senior Sister."

Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow. A slight smile appeared on her lips.

Ning Rongrong gave a soft hum and pouted. Of course, everyone knew she wasn't dissatisfied with Dugu Yan.

Rather, it was dissatisfaction with the ranking of its own 'second'.

"Haha, from now on we're all family, no need to be so formal. Please sit wherever you like, and I have a gift for you."

It is said that three women make a drama, so Lin Yan certainly wouldn't let them sing all by themselves. He found an excuse and led the group to sit down.

Sure enough, women everywhere are born with a love for gifts and surprises. Upon hearing this, they all stared eagerly at Lin Yan, wanting to know what he would give.

Even Dugu Bo, who came in later, came over. He was also very curious about what treasure the big boss had brought out this time.

After all, anything produced by a top-tier artist is bound to be a masterpiece.

Without keeping everyone in suspense, Lin Yan also sat down at the table, taking out an item from the system space.

The appearance of this item surprised everyone.

It was a round object, about the size of a thumb and the thickness of two coins, with its edges polished smooth.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be a... polished pebble!?
