10: C10 Stealing Yu Tianheng’s Thunder,
She was not only a talented battle soul master who met the criteria for a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple’s choice of partner.
More importantly, behind Dugu Yan stood a powerful Titled Douluo—Dugu Bo.
Dugu Yan was Dugu Bo’s only blood relative left in this world.
Winning her over was equivalent to winning over a Titled Douluo.
You listened in a daze, didn’t understand a word of it, and completely forgot everything the moment you turned around.
As a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you successfully entered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
You were extremely popular—not only because of your looks and temperament, but also because you were an auxiliary system soul master.
Though important, you were considered weak among soul masters.
The senior female students loved to hug you and pinch your cheeks.
You couldn’t dodge or push them away, so you could only eat the candies they gave you with a pitiful expression.
Dugu Yan was one of those senior students.
At first, she was simply curious.
She had already developed feelings for Yu Tianheng, who was around her age, though neither had yet broken the ice.
Your sudden appearance caught her attention.
She had never seen a boy as good-looking as you, with such a clean temperament, without that sense of mixed interests.
Although she got along quite well with Yu Tianheng, there were some things both parties tacitly avoided discussing.
For instance, Yu Tianheng had known from the very beginning that her grandfather was Poison Douluo, yet he still pretended not to know.
But with you, there was none of that feeling at all.
After all, you were so foolish that you probably didn’t understand these complicated interest relationships either.
Although your talent was excellent, because of your young age, you weren’t selected for this year’s Heaven Dou Royal Academy combat team.
The three educational commissioners hoped you would cultivate diligently and participate in the next High-Level Soul Master Tournament to compete for the championship.
Your tears fell in big drops—you cried!
Although your intelligence wasn’t high, you still remembered this simulation’s plan.
Get together with Dugu Yan, eat the immortal herbs, and become a god!
But you hadn’t even been selected for the Heaven Dou Royal combat team, and you didn’t have many opportunities to see Dugu Yan.
How could you get together with her?
With no brains to figure out a solution, you started crying.
Seeing you all wronged and silent, with crystal-clear teardrops falling one after another, Dugu Yan felt a pang of sympathy and hugged you.
She asked why you were crying.
You said you couldn’t be with Sister Yan Yan anymore.
Dugu Yan paused for a moment, then stroked your head and asked, “Do you like Sister Yan Yan?”
Yes!
You answered without hesitation.
You still remembered that in this life, you had to be with Dugu Yan to get the immortal herbs.
Dugu Yan believed you were a little fool who wouldn’t lie to her.
She was deeply moved.
She asked her grandfather for help.
Dugu Bo stepped in and arranged for you to become a substitute member of the Heaven Dou Royal combat team, so you could be with Dugu Yan every day.
As for Dugu Yan giving up Yu Tianheng, whom she had already developed feelings for, to be with you—Dugu Bo was somewhat conflicted.
As a grandfather, he wanted his granddaughter to be happy.
Although Yu Tianheng performed well, the men of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan he came from were all extremely promiscuous.
Moreover, Thunder Douluo’s strength surpassed his own.
If Yan Yan were wronged in the future, Dugu Bo would find it difficult to seek justice.
Although you also came from one of the top three sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and had good talent, you were from a branch family and an auxiliary soul master.
In the future, Yan Yan could easily handle you without worrying about being wronged.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo wouldn’t offend him, a Azure Phosphorus Douluo, over a branch disciple like you.
Of course, the most important thing was whom Yan Yan liked.
She liked you, so Dugu Bo recognized you as his prospective grandson-in-law.
Even Ning Fengzhi, who had sent you here, hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly.
With a beaming smile, he agreed to Dugu Bo’s betrothal request.
Turning around, he praised you for a job well done and rewarded you with a gold soul card.
You gave it to Dugu Yan.
Dugu Bo watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction.
Though a bit foolish, as long as his granddaughter liked you and you treated her well, that was enough.
After the betrothal, Ning Fengzhi saw you and Dugu Bo off, then finally had Ning Rongrong released.
To prevent her from sabotaging such an important engagement, even the doting father Ning Fengzhi had steeled his heart and locked Ning Rongrong up.
After all, this engagement could win over a Titled Douluo—it concerned the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi had no choice but to be ruthless.
You returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Yu Tianheng came looking for you.
Yu Tianheng had also had feelings for Dugu Yan.
When Dugu Yan had gradually reduced the frequency of coming to see him, Yu Tianheng had merely thought it was just a young girl throwing a tantrum—he’d often seen that in his clan and hadn’t taken it seriously.
It wasn’t until later, when rumors of you and Dugu Yan started circulating in the academy, that Yu Tianheng realized he had been stolen from.
He had just come to find you and win Dugu Yan back, but he couldn’t even find her.
Only later did he learn that you had gone straight to get engaged.
And it was even Dugu Yan who had initiated it.
His father came to find Yu Tianheng and scolded him for not even keeping a woman.
Yu Tianheng felt somewhat unwilling—how could Dugu Yan suddenly like someone else?
Hadn’t she had feelings for him before?
Yu Tianheng found you.
Upon seeing your face, he understood why Dugu Yan had changed her heart so quickly.
Just then, Dugu Yan rushed over.
Seeing Yu Tianheng standing before you with an aggressive posture, she immediately became alert and shielded you behind her.
After all, you were a fragile auxiliary soul master.
According to the rules of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you needed a powerful partner to protect you.
Dugu Yan felt it was her duty to protect you well.
Seeing Dugu Yan’s vigilant and defensive stance, Yu Tianheng stepped back in disappointment…
They had an argument, and Yu Tianheng left in a daze.
You were still thinking about what you wanted to eat tomorrow.
The days passed one by one.
At twelve years old and level twenty-seven, you suddenly received news—Ning Rongrong had run away from home.
Ning Fengzhi came to find you and asked if you had seen Ning Rongrong.
He believed that if Ning Rongrong had run away, she would most likely have come to you.
You shook your head…
Because you had already forgotten who Ning Rongrong was.
Discovering that Ning Rongrong indeed hadn’t come to you, Ning Fengzhi left with his men to continue searching for her.
Not long after, your instructor Qin Ming said he wanted to take you all for special training, and the location was Suotuo City.
And you, as a substitute team member, were brought along on the journey.
The relationship between you, Dugu Yan, and Yu Tianheng was very delicate.
The members of the Heaven Dou Royal combat team were all cautious, afraid that you might break out into conflict.
