Chapter 147: Aren’t you curious about what I mean?

After realizing the situation, Dugu Yan understood that she couldn't outmatch Xiao Tianyang in this regard. She turned around and said mysteriously, "But even so, it doesn't change anything."

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Tianyang pointed at Dugu Yan. "No matter how big or small the matter, you just don't care, do you?"

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes but remained silent. Following this kid's antics would only lead to frustration, as he wouldn't explain himself anyway.

Ignoring him, Dugu Yan declared decisively, "Aren't you curious about what I mean?"

"Could it be that you're planning to find someone to teach me a lesson?" Xiao Tianyang smiled. "If that's the case, I should remind you—if they're below the Soul Saint level, I suggest you abandon that idea. Otherwise, they might not return in one piece."

"You're just boasting!" Dugu Yan refused to believe Xiao Tianyang's words. Xiao Tianyang was currently a Soul Elder. If only a Soul Saint could deal with him, wouldn't that defy the natural order?

Dugu Yan had to admit that Xiao Tianyang was indeed powerful. Even the academy's top leaders regretted his departure from Shrek Academy, especially Tang San and Xiao Tianyang. However, she couldn't believe that Xiao Tianyang's strength defied common sense.

After all, throughout the history of the Douluo Continent, no one at the Soul Elder level had ever challenged a Soul Saint! And there was nothing wrong with Dugu Yan thinking this way. However, facts often change when extraordinary individuals are involved—and Xiao Tianyang was one such individual.

Although he couldn't defeat a Soul Saint at the moment, escaping from an opponent of that level was more than enough. So, in this regard, he wasn't entirely helpless. Of course, he also knew that even if Dugu Yan wanted to act on her thoughts, Dugu Bo wouldn't allow it. It wasn't a matter of fear but simply unnecessary.

Dugu Yan snorted, "Your name is spreading like wildfire in the academy, especially after everyone found out you defeated His Highness Xue Beng... Hmph, I won't tell you the rest."

"Is it because they're looking for a reason to challenge me?" Xiao Tianyang rubbed his chin. "This is rather interesting..."

"You really think you're invincible?" Seeing that Xiao Tianyang had guessed the reason immediately, Dugu Yan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. But when she heard the second half of his sentence, she was surprised.

Could he really be planning to challenge the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Academy by himself? Even if the top students didn't intervene, the sheer number of ordinary students could overwhelm him through sheer number.

Where did Xiao Tianyang get such confidence?

"Oh, it's not that I think I'm invincible," Xiao Tianyang shook his head, then raised his little thumb. "But I am really invincible below soul saint."

Dugu Yan: "..."

This was too arrogant, wasn't it?

But Dugu Bo burst into laughter upon hearing this. "You're an interesting kid, but I like hearing the truth."

"Grandpa, do you actually believe him?" Dugu Yan pouted.

"If it were just his words, I wouldn't believe him. But seeing is believing—I can't help it," Dugu Bo shrugged.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan widened her eyes. "You really..."

"Go get some rest. This has nothing to do with you," Xiao Tianyang waved his hand and turned to leave.

Dugu Yan stomped away with a huff. But at that moment, Dugu Bo approached and placed a hand on Xiao Tianyang's shoulder. "Kid, wait."

"What now? Is there something else?" Xiao Tianyang turned back.

Dugu Bo grinned mischievously. "What do you think of my granddaughter?"

"What?" Xiao Tianyang was momentarily confused, then suddenly understood. "Oh, so you have a habit of playing matchmaker, huh?" He had initially wanted to use a more blunt term, but since he couldn't beat Dugu Bo, he decided against it.

"What? You look down on my granddaughter?" Dugu Bo frowned, noticing Xiao Tianyang's indifferent expression.

"It's not that I look down on her, but your granddaughter already has someone in her heart. Why are you still meddling here?" Xiao Tianyang glared. "Are you trying to break them up so I can take advantage? I can't do something so wicked!"

"Have you done fewer wicked things?" Dugu Bo snorted.

"Oh, you old man, always eyeing what's in someone else's bowl while eating from your own," Xiao Tianyang laughed. "You don't even know who your future son-in-law is, yet you're trying to set me up with her. What, is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan not good enough for you?"

"Compared to you, they're far from it," Dugu Bo sighed. He knew this was a line he might not be able to cross. Of course, he wasn't entirely serious—he loved his granddaughter more than anything and wouldn't sell her future for an uncertain gain.

"Alright, let's drop this matter. Remember, don't mention it in front of Dugu Yan in the future, or she'll definitely cause trouble for me," Xiao Tianyang waved his hand. "Let's go."

After walking for a while, Xiao Tianyang noticed a shadow emerging from the grass at the corner. "What the hell? Daring to ambush me?" His eyes flashed as he kicked out.

"Boom!"

A scream followed.

Xiao Tianyang paused, touching his chin. "Why does that voice sound familiar?"

"Tianyang, I finally found you!" Xiao Tianyang turned to see Oscar standing not far behind him, panting.

"What's the rush?" Xiao Tianyang frowned. "You didn't burn Teacher Liu's hair, did you?"

[**Dean Liu Erlong= Teacher Liu**]

Oscar: "..."

'Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare!'

Shaking his head, Oscar said, "A lot of people showed up at the academy gate, saying they want to challenge you. Judging by their uniforms, they're from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."

"They're here already?" Xiao Tianyang was slightly surprised. It was quite a coincidence—Dugu Yan had just mentioned it, and now they were here.

"You already knew?" Oscar was also surprised but quickly looked around. "By the way, Fatty and I set out first. He should've arrived before me. Where are the others?"

Xiao Tianyang: "..."

'No wonder the voice sounded familiar earlier—it was Ma Hongjun.'

"Ahem, he might have gone to the academy gate first. Let's head over and check," Xiao Tianyang brushed it off with a smile.

"Alright," Oscar didn't suspect anything. After all, the scream had only lasted a moment, and the person who was kicked had flown off to who-knows-where.

Of course, Xiao Tianyang's kick hadn't been too harsh. At most, it would leave Ma Hongjun's butt sore for a while—nothing serious or life-threatening. There was no need to worry too much.
