Chapter 3005: Feeling Defeated_1

Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, "Perhaps, you're right; Yan Zi's issue is indeed very serious!"

Although he had never expressed his feelings to Dugu Yan, there was no doubt that he liked her!

Naturally, he did not wish for her to be kicked out of the team!!

Moreover, he was the captain!!

Getting approval from the former, Yu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Tian Heng, that's more like it, I'll go find Teacher Qin right away!!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking than a familiar voice came from behind...

"Yu Feng, do you have something you need me for??"

Everyone immediately turned around to see the speaker, and it was none other than Qin Ming!

Yu Feng's eyes widened in surprise, and he exclaimed, "Qin... Teacher Qin, how long have you been here?"

They had not even noticed his approach!!

Qin Ming answered offhandedly, "Just now, I happened to hear you say you had something to find me for!"

With that, Yu Feng cast a questioning look at the rest of the people...

The answer they got was very clear!!

He then coughed, "Yes, Teacher Qin, I... We do indeed have something we want to discuss with you!"

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow, "Oh?? Is it a question about your practice?"

Yu Feng shook his head in denial, "No... it's not that, it's about Yan Zi!"

Qin Ming felt increasingly puzzled, "Yan Zi?? What happened to her?"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward Dugu Yan, who sat alone at a distance...

Yu Feng organized his thoughts in his mind and explained, "The thing is, Teacher Qin, based on our observation, something has been off with Yan Zi ever since she returned from Martial Soul City with Senior Douluo of Poison!"

Hearing this, Qin Ming scrutinized Dugu Yan carefully but didn't feel anything amiss...

He immediately continued to ask, "Off?? In what way? I don't see anything wrong with Yan Zi."

At a loss for words, Yu Feng did not know how to explain...

Shi Mo, on the other hand, picked up the conversation, "Teacher Qin, the current state of Yan Zi that you are seeing is the biggest issue!"

"She is not only neglecting her practice but also rarely talks with us, and even her attitude towards Tian Heng is lukewarm!!"

Qin Ming frowned, "Could there really be something..."

Before he could finish, he realized something and a deep surprise showed in his eyes...

He pondered, "It does seem quite strange, come to think of it. Yan Zi is usually glued to Tian Heng, and now she has lost interest in him and sits alone in the distance, lost in thought!"

This was a scene that was previously unimaginable!

Seeing that one understood, Shi Mo said excitedly, "Right, right, Teacher Qin, you see the problem too!!"

Yu Tianheng, however, out of the blue said, "Well... I think Yan Zi might be missing Senior Douluo of Poison, so that's why..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming countered, "Tian Heng, do you really believe that yourself when you say it?"

Yu Tianheng immediately shut his mouth...

This poorly constructed excuse was riddled with loopholes...

Qin Ming sighed helplessly, "I really shouldn't be meddling in her affairs with you, but since it's affecting her practice, it can't be trifled with. I'm going to ask Yan Zi now!"

After saying that, he walked toward Dugu Yan...

Feeling his approach, Dugu Yan also came to her senses and instinctively said, "Teacher Qin!"

Qin Ming didn't interrogate her but asked patiently, "Yan Zi, what are you sitting here all by yourself for?"

Dugu Yan looked somewhat flustered, then waved her hand, "Nothing... nothing much, just a little tired from practicing, so I'm resting a bit!"

Qin Ming chuckled lightly, "Feeling a bit tired from cultivation? But Shi Mo and the others say that your recent cultivation has been somewhat slack!"

Upon hearing this sentence, Dugu Yan immediately understood everything and cast her gaze toward Shi Mo and the others not far away...

Under such piercing stares, they immediately turned their heads away as if they had seen nothing...

Having received confirmation, Dugu Yan once again explained, "Teacher Qin, don't listen to the nonsense from Shi Mo and the rest. I haven't been neglecting my cultivation!"

Qin Ming looked directly at her and said again, "Not neglecting? According to my perception, there hasn't been much improvement in your Soul Power Aura!!"

Facing this sharp look, Dugu Yan felt her explanation was somewhat weak and powerless...

She turned her head away, "I'm... I'm sorry, Teacher Qin, I truly am just tired!"

"After a while, I will cultivate diligently to make up for my previous slackness!"

Qin Ming pursed his lips, "Yan Zi, I know you too well. When you lie, your eyes involuntarily look elsewhere!"

"Tell me the truth, what exactly happened after you and Senior Douluo of Poison went to Martial Soul City!"

These words made Dugu Yan inexplicably feel some irritation and her tone became much more aggressive...

"Teacher Qin, don't you think you are being a bit too intrusive??"

Disbelief filled Qin Ming's eyes...

He seemed not to have expected her to say such a thing!

However, he did not get angry but said again, "Yan Zi, the teacher is doing this for your own good. If you continue to be lax like this, I'm afraid... you won't be able to stay in this team!!"

Dugu Yan did not wish to continue this discussion and slowly stood up...

"Teacher Qin, I won't leave this team, rest assured!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

But just as she took a step, she paused...

"Additionally... I'm very sorry about what I just said, I was just in a bad mood and did not mean to offend you!"

Having said that, she disappeared from sight...

Watching her leave, Qin Ming's expression became much graver...

"It seems necessary to consult with Senior Douluo of Poison to get an understanding of the situation. Otherwise, Yan Zi might really be in trouble!!"

Shi Mo, noticing this, subconsciously nudged Yu Tianheng with his shoulder and reminded, "Tian Heng, you saw that, didn't you? Even Teacher Qin got rebuffed by Yan Zi; this issue is quite serious!"

Shi Mo echoed in agreement, "Hmm, Yan Zi has always respected Teacher Qin. She would never have said such things on an ordinary day. Definitely, something significant must have happened in Martial Soul City!!"

Yu Feng sighed helplessly and said, "I'm afraid the situation is more troublesome than we imagined, but... now we can only rely on Teacher Qin!"

Yu Tianheng clenched his fist, wanting to follow her...

But Yu Feng promptly stopped him...

Shaking his head, he said, "Tian Heng, let it be. If you go now, you might just stir up Yan Zi's aversion!"

"Let's just wait sincerely for Teacher Qin to find a way to persuade Yan Zi!!"

One thing was for sure, if he followed her now, he might completely wipe out the last bit of fondness Dugu Yan had for Yu Tianheng...

Yu Tianheng stood there dazed, and after a few seconds, he lowered his head and silently went to sit down at the side...

This gesture, although he said nothing, spoke volumes...
