Chapter 2968: Aquipeia Forest_1
Yu Tianheng spoke with a tone of finality, "No... it's not that you're in a bad mood, Yan Zi. I understand you. If it were just that, you wouldn't let it show on your face!"
Having her thoughts exposed so abruptly made Dugu Yan's face color somewhat unbearable to maintain, and her attitude in speaking became somewhat confrontational...
"Tian Heng, stop acting like you know me so well!!"
Yu Tianheng hadn't expected such a strong reaction and hurriedly tried to placate her, "I'm... I'm sorry, Yan Zi. I didn't mean anything by it, I was just worried that this might affect your cultivation if you keep it up!"
In an instant, Dugu Yan realized that her words were too harsh...
She immediately turned her back, trying to speak in as calm a tone as possible, "Mm... Tian Heng, thank you for your concern, but I really am fine!"
"As for cultivation, I won't hold anyone back!"
For some reason, now when she found herself zoning out, the images that came to mind were not her various interactions with Yu Tianheng...
But those few encounters with Xu Sheng!
She even found herself getting impatient upon seeing the latter!
This was a sensation she had never felt before!
Yu Tianheng pursed his lips, noting that she didn't seem to want to continue their conversation...
And so, with some reluctance, he said, "Alright, then. Yan Zi, if you have any problems, you can come to me anytime. For now, I'll head over there!"
After giving her a deep look, he didn't disturb her further and walked somewhat bewilderedly towards Shi Mo and the others...
But no sooner had he sat down than Shi Mo cautiously asked, "Tian Heng, did you and Yan Zi have a disagreement? She looked rather upset!"
Shi Mo and Yu Feng were staring at Yu Tianheng expectantly, their eyes shining as they awaited his response...
All Yu Tianheng did was respond with a subdued "Mm"...
Receiving his affirmative answer, Shi Mo and Yu Feng couldn't help but swallow nervously...
"That's strange, why would Yan Zi lash out at Tian Heng? Could it be that something provoked her?"
"Shi Mo, don't you know Tian Heng? He would never do something to provoke Yan Zi. I fear that Yan Zi might be..."
Yu Feng lowered his voice as he spoke...
"Yu Feng, cut it out with the mysteries. What is it exactly??"
"If you know something, just spit it out already. You're killing me here!"
Even Yu Tianheng was quietly perking up his ears to listen...
Yu Feng hesitated for a moment before sharing his suspicion, "Yan Zi might have fallen for someone else!!"
This statement was truly shocking, petrifying all three of them...
Seeing their reaction, Yu Feng added, "It's just my guess, but considering that these changes in Yan Zi occurred after she went looking for that Xu Sheng, it's not unlikely!"
Shi Mo still held a skeptical attitude, "No, that can't be right. Is Yan Zi such a fickle person??"
Shi Mo pondered seriously and said, "I think Yu Feng has a point. Since Xu Sheng is a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation, his strength is undoubtedly great."
"If he's also handsome, then Tian Heng's position might indeed be challenged!"
However, Yu Tianheng, who couldn't stand to hear these words, couldn't help but scold, "Have you said enough?? If so, then go and cultivate!!"
He refused to believe Yan Zi was that kind of person!
Even if that Xu Sheng was powerful and handsome!
Yu Feng and the others dared not say anymore and left without any hesitation...
Clearly, they all knew that their conversation had stirred up anger in Yu Tianheng...
Only after they had all left did Yu Tianheng speak in a frustrated tone, "Xu Sheng, even though you've already humiliated me so, why must you provoke Yan Zi!"
In his anger, he didn't realize that his other arm was gradually undergoing Dragon Transformation, emitting arcs of light...
...
Several days later...
Worship Hall!!
All the guest elders present turned their attention towards Moxiong Douluo and began to tease him...
"Moxiong, where's Tang San? Why isn't he with you?"
"Yeah, you didn't lose him on some remote mountain, did you? If so, you'll be punished by the Grand Elder!"
"Hmm, the Grand Elder emphasized that we must go all out in training Tang San last time. If you don't follow orders, the consequences will be dire!"
Moxiong Douluo couldn't help but let out a cold "hmpf"...
He said irritably, "You guys, always bringing up the worst possible thing!"
"However, since the Grand Elder has commanded, of course I won't target that Tang San and will train him with all my might!"
It's just that, my training methods are a bit unconventional!
Gold Crocodile Douluo, who had been silent until now, also became interested, asking curiously, "Oh?? Moxiong, why don't you share with us?"
Moxiong was suddenly at a loss for words, "This... it's better if I don't say."
He hadn't expected the former to also be interested...
Gold Crocodile Douluo's gaze gradually sharpened as he pressed on, "What's the matter, unwilling to tell me? Could it be interpreted as you've killed Tang San??"
Moxiong Douluo rolled his eyes and had no choice but to wave his hand, "Kill... what kill, I've already tossed Tang San into the Aquipeia Forest for a trial!"
Upon hearing this, all the guest elders were stunned...
Gold Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but scold, "You threw him into the Aquipeia Forest?? Don't you know how dangerous it is there? Besides, Tang San only has one ring."
"The chances of surviving are extremely slim!!"
Moxiong Douluo furrowed his brow, crossed his arms, and retorted, "I disagree with that. The more dangerous the place, the more it can enhance Tang San's combat abilities!"
"Besides, the Grand Elder only asked me to train Tang San to my fullest, but if he happens to die along the way, that's not my fault!"
How could there be any danger just by throwing him at the outskirts of the Aquipeia Forest?
Of course, I would very much prefer him to die there!
That way, the Grand Elder won't have any reason to blame me!
Little did he know, Gold Crocodile Douluo's eyes betrayed a look of pity upon hearing this...
"Moxiong, I have to remind you, if you think that Tang San dying in the Aquipeia Forest means the Grand Elder won't punish you, then you're sorely mistaken!"
"This kid has great use in the future!"
Such serious words made Moxiong Douluo feel a bit flustered...
"No... it can't be that bad, can it?"
Could it be that Tang San is truly important in the eyes of the Grand Elder??
Gold Crocodile Douluo merely slowly closed his eyes, "If you rush over now, you might still be in time!!"
"If it's too late, bear the consequences yourself!!"
Upon hearing this, the other guest elders all showed a cold smile, choosing to watch from the sidelines...
After all, this matter had nothing to do with them!!
This scene made Moxiong Douluo start to waver...
Finally, he stood up abruptly and cursed, "Damn it, this Tang San really is a troublesome guy!!"
Out of all people, it had to be me he was chosen for!
It's like I'm jinxed for eight lifetimes!!
