Chapter 169 Xie Xie's Guess (Please Subscribe)_1

Suddenly, a pair of tender hands reached out from behind and embraced her entire being...

Xu Xiaoyan leaned in and let out a warm breath, whispering affectionately, "Xiao Guyue, what were you secretly whispering about while I was taking a bath? It wasn't about Wulin, was it?"

Gu Yue, carrying the former on her back, had a face that alternated between sunny and gloomy, "No... it wasn't. I was chatting with a friend. Xiao Yan, did you overhear just now?"

Xu Xiaoyan paused, then puckered her lips in annoyance, "Of course not, or else why would I ask you!"

Meanwhile, Di Tian, seeing that Gu Yue had stopped speaking, seemed to realize something and voluntarily cut off the communication...

Only then did Gu Yue breathe a sigh of relief...

Luckily Xu Xiaoyan hadn't heard the conversation from earlier, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do...

If it were someone else, she would have acted without hesitation, but with a close friend, she needed to think thoroughly...

Xu Xiaoyan's hands continued to wander upward, speaking with ill intent, "Hold on, Gu Yue, you wouldn't have someone else behind Wulin's back, would you?"

But if one observed carefully, they would see her beautiful eyes twinkling, seemingly pondering over something...

What Gu Yue had just mentioned... seemed to be about the Dragon Tomb? And from her tone, the contents seemed to be very important to her...

Feeling like a sensitive spot had been touched, Gu Yue's face became flushed, and she removed the other's hands...

"Xiao Yan, stop it! It's so late, let's hurry up and go to sleep!"

Xu Xiaoyan looked disdainful, "Humph... you were chatting just fine with your friend a moment ago, and now you're telling me it's too late to talk!"

Gu Yue sighed, "Alright, alright, Xiao Yan, I did have something important to discuss earlier!"

Xu Xiaoyan blinked her beautiful eyes, "Then tonight you'll sleep with me in your arms..."

Gu Yue was taken aback, "Why?"

"No reason, I just feel heartbroken at the thought of you being taken away by a man in the future..."

Gu Yue's expression darkened, "Xiao Yan, you didn't drink too much today, did you?"

Xu Xiaoyan proudly puffed out her chest, "Of course not! I can hold my liquor very well!"

But her slightly flushed cheeks seemed to prove that her drinking capacity wasn't as she claimed...

...

In the boys' dormitory on the other side...

Xie Xie, with his hands pillowed behind his neck, mused, "Wulin, what do you think we should do for this holiday?"

Tang Wulin shook his head, "I don't know, probably train hard at the academy. I used to think that becoming a Soul King, my Soul Power would be enough to reach a level-7 blacksmith, but reality isn't that simple!"

"Moreover, I almost compromised my mental state due to the excessive use of Soul Power!"

Xie Xie nodded thoughtfully and then turned his gaze to Xu Lizhi, "So then, Lizhi, what are you planning to do during the holiday?"

Xu Lizhi smiled naively, "Me? I just want to follow Sister Xinglan..."

Xie Xie frowned, "Come on, have some ambition, will you? Always hiding behind Xinglan, you're not worried that she'll get annoyed?"

"Besides, even though you're a support-class Soul Master, it's too dependent to always have a woman protect you!"

Xu Lizhi's face fell a little, and he said through clenched teeth, "I... I know, but... my soul skills are all about making various sausages, none of which are for combat..."

He too was aware that it was embarrassing to always hide behind Ye Xinglan during fights, but it was a matter of spirit being willing, but the flesh being weak.

Tang Wulin saw that Xie Xie was saying a bit too much and reminded him, "Xie Xie, stop picking on Lizhi. As a support-class Soul Master, he's pretty helpless!"

Xie Xie rolled his eyes unhappily, "I know, but Xinglan will have to find a boyfriend and get married one day, right? She can't be protected forever!"

"If you like Xinglan, Lizhi, you can't keep being so timid!"

Xu Lizhi's entire body shuddered, and he hung his head without saying another word…

Xie Xie seemed to realize he had gone too far and waved his hand dismissively, "Forget it, forget it, it's no use talking to you."

He turned his gaze back to Tang Wulin and others, his expression quite stern, "Wulin, I think there's something I still need to tell you."

Tang Wulin looked puzzled, "What is it? You're not going to hit me after Lizhi, are you?"

Xie Xie didn't respond to the joke, and instead spoke seriously, "Today at the auction, when we saw that stone, Gu Yue's entire state seemed somewhat abnormal!"

"I've never seen such intense murderous intent in her eyes!"

Thinking back on it now sends a chill up my spine…

Tang Wulin was perplexed, "Murderous intent? You mean... that stone is more important to Gu Yue than we thought?"

Xie Xie shook his head, "Doesn't seem like it... I'm afraid that Gu Yue recognized what that stone was and was very angry that someone was using it for auction!"

"Besides, when I saw that stone, I felt the sound of a dragon's chant in my ears, of course, Xiao Yan and the others didn't seem to notice!"

Tang Wulin's eyes suddenly sparkled, and he smiled, "Xie Xie, thank you for sharing all this with me, I think I understand now!"

If only Gu Yue and Xie Xie noticed, perhaps it's because both their Martial Souls are related to dragons…

As for me…

…

In the Xingluo Empire, the War God Temple Legion assigned by Dai Tianling to the border areas…

All the legion members looked around at the foul stench mixed with the smell of blood, all involuntarily covering their mouths, struggling to keep down the nausea…

One of the legion members said with a pale face, "Is this the place where the evil Soul Masters slaughtered? It's truly horrific like a human purgatory!"

Another member of the legion then scolded angrily, "Damn Holy Spirit Cult! If this were on the Douluo Continent, how could we let them be so rampant!"

"But the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire is really blunt, sending us directly to such a fringe area!"

"Yeah, it's not just dangerous, we don't even know when we can return to the War God Hall."

"Even if they give us the power to command the military forces of this area, it doesn't do much good!"

"This place has already become sparsely populated, those guys from the Holy Spirit Cult probably won't come again. We might as well stay here peacefully and leave when the time is right."

The leading War God heard these words and said sternly, "That won't do. If we let the Holy Spirit Cult grow unchecked, it will be fatal to any power on the Continent!"

"Even if this is on the fringe of the Xingluo Empire, we can't let these jackals and wild beasts from the Holy Spirit Cult run wild! Does everyone understand???"

Since they had decided to support the Xingluo Empire, they had to show the strength of their legion!

Upon hearing these words, the others responded earnestly, "Yes!"
