Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 42: Fulfilling the Promise from Two Years Ago

"Xiao Yu, this is one of the two pillar Titled Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Gu Rong, with the title 'Bone'! And this, as you already know, is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Rongrong!"

Liu Erlong introduced them to Xiao Yu.

"Junior Xiao Yu pays his respects to Bone Douluo, Your Excellency!"

Xiao Yu clasped his hands in greeting.

"Junior Dugu Yan pays her respects to Bone Douluo, Your Excellency!"

Dugu Yan also bowed slightly and clasped her hands.

Although Gu Rong and her grandfather were both Titled Douluos, there were differences in strength among them. Therefore, Dugu Yan didn't dare to act too presumptuously in front of someone stronger than her grandfather.

"Hmm."

"You're quite a talented young man. No wonder Rongrong is so interested in you. Alright, Rongrong, you've seen him now. It's time for us to leave."

"Ah?! So soon? I wanted to chat with Xiao Yu a bit more!"

Ning Rongrong pouted, her face filled with disappointment.

She wanted to experience that rapid level-up feeling a bit longer!

Seeing Ning Rongrong's coquettish behavior, Gu Rong's previously resolute heart wavered slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yu interjected.

"Rongrong, it's getting late. You should go back with Bone Douluo, Your Excellency. You're welcome to come here anytime. Sister Yan Yan, Teacher Liu Erlong, and I will always welcome you to visit!"

"Okay!! I'll go back and ask my dad to let me study here! That way, I can come play with you every day!"

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Ning Rongrong immediately agreed, her face blooming into a radiant smile.

[Gained 3 points of Ning Rongrong's strategy value!]

[Target captured: Ning Rongrong (8%)]

Seeing how obedient Ning Rongrong was to Xiao Yu, Gu Rong glared fiercely at Xiao Yu. At the same time, he became extremely wary of Xiao Yu, mentally labeling him as a troublemaker.

No, no, I can't let this kid see Rongrong anymore. I absolutely cannot let Rongrong come here to study. I must get Sword Douluo to join me in this when I get back!

This kid is definitely not a peaceful one!!

As a man, Gu Rong naturally saw through Xiao Yu's intentions. However, with Rongrong present and the backing of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he couldn't openly warn Xiao Yu.

"Haha, I didn't expect the academy to be so lively in just a few days! Even Bone Douluo, Your Excellency, is here!"

Just as Gu Rong was about to forcefully take Ning Rongrong away and sever this ill-fated connection at its root, a strong, resonant voice came from behind.

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Rong's expression changed slightly. He turned around and saw Yu Luomian, accompanied by Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.

"Yu Luomian? What are you doing here?"

Gu Rong asked.

"Haha, Bone Douluo, Your Excellency, my daughter is the dean of this academy. Is it strange for me to be here?"

Hearing Yu Luomian's words, Gu Rong suddenly understood. So that's how it is...

It seems the reason Yu Luomian and Dugu Bo acted together before was because of this.

Xiao Yu is connected to Dugu Yan, and Xiao Yu happens to be Liu Erlong's disciple.

With Xiao Yu's remarkable talent, it's no surprise that Yu Luomian would come to help!

"Grandmaster..."

Xiao Yu clasped his hands in greeting to Yu Luomian.

"Hmm, Xiao Yu, as I mentioned before, once you reached the 20th rank, I would bring Tianheng to spar with you. Now that the time has come, and Tianheng has no objections, what about you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu looked at Yu Tianheng and noticed that his expression was resolute, filled with confidence.

It seemed he had finally emerged from his previous confusion.

However, if Xiao Yu remembered correctly, according to the original timeline, Yu Tianheng should have already broken through to the 30th rank by now, since Sister Yan Yan had already reached the 30th rank.

But now, Yu Tianheng was a step behind Sister Yan Yan. It seemed that he had spent a lot of time and effort to overcome his struggles.

"Sure, I have no objections."

"Good. In that case, let's go to Erlong's training ground. While you're still young, let's settle this today! Otherwise, it'll be harder to resolve once you both grow stronger!"

After saying this, Yu Luomian and the group headed toward the academy's training ground.

"Bone Douluo, Your Excellency, if you're interested, you're welcome to watch. If you have other matters to attend to, I can have Erlong escort you out."

Originally planning to leave, Gu Rong became curious upon seeing this. However, remembering how obedient Ning Rongrong was to Xiao Yu, he decided to take her away immediately.

"Let's go, Rongrong. We're heading back to eat your favorite pastries!"

Hearing Bone Douluo's words, Ning Rongrong, who had been planning to watch Xiao Yu's fight, pouted and said,

"No, Grandpa Bone, let's go watch! Please, please!!"

Unable to resist Ning Rongrong's coquettish behavior, Gu Rong had no choice but to take her to the training ground as well.

Soon, the group arrived at the training ground. After Liu Erlong cleared the area, Yu Tianheng stepped onto the stage first.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to step up, Dugu Yan suddenly hugged him and planted a loud kiss on his cheek.

"Mwah!!"

"Come back soon! No matter if you win or lose!"

The loud kissing sound instantly darkened the expressions of everyone present.

Especially Yu Luomian, who was about to act as the referee. His face turned as dark as a pot.

Gu Rong was worried that Rongrong might pick up bad habits, Liu Erlong was jealous, and Yu Luomian feared that Yu Tianheng's recently stabilized resolve might shatter again upon seeing this.

Yu Tianxin felt the same way. As for Yu Tianheng, although his expression didn't change much, the faint pain in his eyes betrayed him. Seeing the woman he once liked kissing another man was something no one could easily endure!

Especially since he had gradually stopped pursuing Dugu Yan as a family task and had genuinely started to pursue her. His heart ached even more.

"Xiao Yu, hurry up! Everyone's busy! Don't waste time because of you two!"

Seeing that Xiao Yu seemed about to return Dugu Yan's affection, Yu Luomian immediately urged him.

"Exactly, Xiao Yu! You'll have plenty of time to be affectionate later. Why waste everyone's time now?!"

Liu Erlong also pushed Xiao Yu impatiently, her face full of displeasure.

Looking at Liu Erlong, Xiao Yu apologized.

"Sorry, I forgot that you seniors are all focused on cultivation and don't have children. I apologize on behalf of Sister Yan Yan. She didn't mean it..."

Hearing this, everyone except Yu Luomian turned even darker.

What kind of remark was that?!

Mocking them for being single?

"Damn kid..."

Gu Rong muttered through gritted teeth, watching Rongrong's sparkling eyes.
