Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was thick with a mix of confusion and realization. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling sat across from Su Yan, their eyes fixed on him with expressions that were hard to read.
They weren't just looking at a teammate anymore; they were looking at someone who seemed to be the center of the world's attention. A strange thought crossed both of their minds at the exact same moment.
They strongly suspected that in the near future, powerful figures like Bibi Dong and even the legendary Bo Saixi might come to snatch Su Yan away for themselves. The two girls exchanged a quick glance, and without saying a word, they both felt that this outcome was not only possible but very likely.
Su Yan was simply too outstanding for his own good. For women of high status like Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong, there were very few men in the entire world who could even catch their eye, let alone earn their respect.
But Su Yan was different. He didn't just have incredible strength; he was also strikingly handsome, possessed strange abilities that seemed like cheat codes, had a great sense of humor, and could even leave them blinded by his brilliance.
Ye Lingling suddenly had a bold guess about why these powerful women were so interested. Was it a desire for a loving family? Was it love? Or was it just the need for family connections?
In the group chat, Su Yan decided it was time to address the elephant in the room. He sent a message that immediately grabbed everyone's attention. Senior Bo Saixi, it is your turn to come out and hammer me now, he wrote. I am asking you honestly, did we really do you wrong by calling you part of the Sea, Land, and Air Three Fools Combination? The things I said earlier about your choices weren't exaggerated, were they?
The chat erupted instantly. Liu Erlong was the first to jump in, her tone sharp and demanding. Bo Saixi, come out immediately and apologize to Su Yan, she messaged. We told you to trust him unconditionally, yet you still dared to ask for an explanation? You should know better by now. Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasures Little Princess, added her own laughter to the mix. I am dying of laughter here! My Su Yan Gege is out and about, doing his own thing. Who does he need to give an explanation to? He is the one who holds all the answers!
Zhu Zhuqing, known as the Cat in the Shadows, chimed in with a more calculated observation. I have done the math, she noted calmly. Senior Bo Saixi will be offline for the rest of the day. Whoever can actually manage to call her out right now is the one with real skill. Hu Liena couldn't help but join in the mockery, sending a long string of laughter that filled the screen.
Far away on Sea God Island, the situation was exactly as Zhu Zhuqing had predicted. Bo Saixi was hiding alone inside the Sea God Temple. She stood deep in the shadows, purposefully staying away from the sunlight as if she could become invisible by merging with the darkness. She felt like a fool.
She had to admit that the little kitty had calculated correctly. Bo Saixi felt so embarrassed that she would rather die right now or jump down from the highest point of the temple than ever appear in that group chat again. She simply had no face left to meet anyone after her mistakes were laid bare.
Bibi Dong sent a message that sounded unusually reflective. In this world, life is always so full of stumbles and mistakes, she wrote. Looking back carefully at our choices, it turns out that we are all pretty much the same. Liu Erlong agreed, her tone softening slightly.
Yes, Saixi, come out quickly. There is no need to hide. We can all share our experiences with you since we have all been through similar things. Tang Yuehua added with a hint of irony, I am not bragging, but we really do have a lot of experience when it comes to making questionable choices in life.
Dugu Yan, using her chat handle Yanzi is not a Swallow, tried to coax her out too. Sister Saixi, come out quickly! They promise not to laugh at you anymore. However, Xiao Wu, under the name Loves Eating Carrots, immediately ruined the sentiment by sending another burst of laughter.
Su Yan decided to move the conversation along to a different topic. Oh, right! he messaged. I just mentioned that Bo Saixi and Tang Chen were foolish enough in their own ways, but I haven't even talked about Qian Daoliu yet. Let me add a few more words about him to make this sound more authoritative.
The chat went silent as everyone waited for his analysis of the High Priest of Spirit Hall. Su Yan continued, As I said before, Qian Daoliu is actually a good person at heart. Other than the fact that he failed to raise Qian Xunji well, I really can't find many flaws in his character. However, I still really want to complain about him because he is a big fool in his own right!
He explained his reasoning clearly. Qian Daoliu is a fool because of his loyalty to a man who might not even be alive. For a Tang Chen whose life or death was unknown for years, he really decided not to deal with the Clear Sky Sect ever again. Even when Tang Hao had the nerve to run all the way to Spirit City and smash the Angel God statue, Qian Daoliu didn't even come out to stop him.
He was about to sacrifice his own life for Qian Renxue's Ninth Trial to help her become a God, yet he still didn't go out to clear the enemies of Spirit Hall. He didn't go to kill Tang Hao or Tang San when he had the chance. He just stayed inside Spirit Hall from beginning to end until he died. He never even left the front door.
Su Yan concluded his point with a harsh truth. The destruction of Spirit Hall cannot just be blamed on the three love-struck idiotsāBibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Qian Renxue. Qian Daoliu must also bear a large part of the blame for his inaction.
Ning Rongrong was stunned. If Su Yan Gege hadn't said it, I would never have believed that Qian Daoliu was actually a good person, she admitted. Liu Erlong nodded in agreement, sending a quick confirmation. Hu Liena, however, was confused by a different detail. Wait a minute, she asked. I want to ask something now. Has anyone actually seen our High Priest lately? Has anyone seen Tang Chen?
Liu Erlong replied quickly, How could we have seen them? They are legendary figures. Why are you even asking this? Su Yan is the one who should know where they are. Dugu Yan was also curious. Hu Liena, what exactly do you mean?
Hu Liena explained her thought process. From the information Su Yan shared, our High Priest must have a very good character, right? Zhu Zhuqing confirmed this, saying, Su Yan made it very clear. He said he is one of the few good people with no flaws to find, only things to complain about.
Then I really don't understand, Hu Liena continued. Our High Priest is such a good person, and he is very handsome too. So why did Bo Saixi choose to like Tang Chen and not our High Priest? Could it be that Tang Chen is as handsome as Su Yan?
Tang Yuehua, who was related to Tang Chen, gave an honest answer. Su Yan's appearance is unmatched among everyone I have ever seen. My grandfather, Tang Chen, can only be described as decent looking. There is really no comparison to Su Yan's looks at all. Ning Rongrong wondered aloud, So, is your grandfather just very good at coaxing girls?
Zhu Zhuqing offered a different perspective. You can imagine from Tang Chen's behavior regarding that Hundred Level Promise that he is definitely a big straight man who doesn't understand romance. It's very strange indeed.
Bibi Dong suddenly tagged Liu Erlong in the chat. Erlong, she wrote simply. Liu Erlong understood the signal immediately. Senior Bo Saixi, after a long discussion by our Blind Douluo Sisterhood, we formally invite you to join our group.
Dugu Yan sent a series of question marks, and Ning Rongrong realized the joke. So that's how it is! she laughed. Xiao Wu added, You guys are really going to be the death of me! I am getting a bit winded from running and laughing at the same time.
Back on Sea God Island, Bo Saixi almost passed out from pure anger. What? she thought, her face turning red. I am a Blind Douluo? You scoundrels! She gritted her teeth in fury, but after taking a deep breath, she forced herself to stay calm. She knew that if she went into the chat now, they would only laugh at her even more. She had to hold back.
Tang Yuehua felt a bit bad for her family name. No way? she asked. Don't tell me there are no good people left in the Tang Clan. Ah Yin tried to comfort her. Don't be nervous, Yuehua. They just mean that Bo Saixi is blind when it comes to love, and Tang Chen is just too single-minded.
Another group member asked the burning question. Based on Su Yan's analysis, Qian Daoliu should be more perfect than Tang Chen in almost every way. So, Senior Bo Saixi, why did you choose Tang Chen? An anonymous member added, Bo Saixi, don't run away yet! Explain yourself before you leave!
The chat became a chorus of invitations. The Blind Douluo combination opens its doors for you, Liu Erlong wrote. Bibi Dong repeated the phrase, and soon everyone was chanting it in the chat.
Bo Saixi truly wanted to disappear this time. She didn't know how to explain her heart. Without their logical analysis, she had to admit that Qian Daoliu's appearance was actually better than Tang Chen's. His character was also that of a perfect gentleman. She could even feel that between the two of them, Qian Daoliu probably loved her more.
Tang Chen was always obsessed with cultivating his Spirit Power and becoming stronger. He was never as meticulous or caring as Qian Daoliu was. She didn't have a logical explanation; it was probably just a matter of who she felt a connection with at first sight.
Su Yan, seeing the chaos, decided to break into song. He sent the lyrics to the chat: What you can't get is always stirring... those who are favored are always fearless... the red of roses is a dream easily hurt... held in hand but slipping through the fingers.
Liu Erlong responded immediately. Look at you, singing again? Ning Rongrong was confused by the lyrics, but another member noted that it felt very profound and that everyone should listen carefully.
Dugu Yan was completely swept away. Su Yan is truly too outstanding, she messaged. His songs are so beautiful. Especially when I look at his handsome face and listen to his gentle singing, my heart just melts. Little Princess, don't blame your Sister Yan for being mean, blame Su Yan for being too charming!
Suddenly, an image appeared in the chat. It was a picture of Dugu Yan leaning over and kissing Su Yan on the cheek while they were in the carriage.
Ning Rongrong's reaction was explosive. Ahhh!!! she screamed in text. Dugu Yan, you scoundrel! You... you... quickly let go of my Su Yan Gege! Quickly wipe your drool off him, you thief! Wuwuwu... my Su Yan Gege has been dirtied by you!
The rest of the group members could only respond with a long string of question marks, shocked by the sudden bold move.
