Chapter 94: Gone! All Gone!!

Still listening to the teacher's words, striving for glory...

Gu You left and headed straight towards the Tianhai Sports Stadium.

The two places were very close to each other.

It had to be said that the repairs were completed very quickly, almost like a construction mania. Within half an hour, everything was leveled.

The individual competition hadn't started yet, and from the looks of his competition number, Gu You should be up in the fifth round, about two hours later.

Because there were so many participants in the Tianhai League competition, it was divided into multiple rounds. In each round, fifty contestants could battle simultaneously on smaller fields. This was just one small venue, so you can imagine how many participants there were.

"Gu Ge! You're so cool!" Xie Xie rushed over like a little fan when he saw Gu You coming back.

"Of course, where's Gu Yue?" Gu You quickly dodged and avoided him.

"Inside," Xie Xie said, looking very wronged.

Gu You entered the exclusive area for Class Zero, where Xu Xiaoyan was talking on the phone, and Gu Yue was writing something continuously.

Seeing this, Gu You chuckled. It was the first time he had seen her like this, and it instantly lifted his spirits. He walked over to Gu Yue's side.

"Not bad, your calligraphy is pretty good." Gu You teased her.

Gu Yue looked up calmly at Gu You. "You owe me."

"Right! I owe you." Gu You grimaced.

"And me! And me!" Xu Xiaoyan also happily said, though she was still on the phone. The person on the other end was probably confused. "Hello! Are you going to speak properly? I don't understand."

"Huh? What did you say just now? I forgot. Let me introduce you again." Xu Xiaoyan returned to the main topic.

"Take a look, how's it? I carefully selected people and wrote this down. Also, I have good news—Wang Jinxie and Zhang Yangzi called back and said they'd be the first batch of members when your organization is formed." Gu Yue handed over the notebook with a slight smile on her face.

"That's really good news." Gu You took the notebook, and after looking through it, he was shocked. There were people as old as 43, some even at the Soul Douluo level. Did his influence really extend this far? Most of them had filled out the information according to his requirements, with contact numbers included for future communication. However, these were just preliminary markings—maybe some people were just playing around, or even lying. But a reservation was still a reservation. When the time came, things would certainly change.

The competition arena was still in full swing, with the youth group competing. The soul rings of the participants weren't very high, mostly around three rings at most. Since it was one-on-one combat, the arenas were limited in number, each about 30 meters in diameter. The different soul skills and martial souls used by the contestants were dazzling to watch.

With still a long wait until the fifth round, Gu You planned to take Gu Yue outside to buy some food. As they approached the exit of the Tianhai Sports Stadium, a familiar figure caught his eye.

Ye Xinglan!

Her expression didn't look very good, and she had noticed Gu You. After seemingly making a decision, she quickly jogged over to him.

"Last time, my tone was really… I shouldn't have looked at you like that. You even apologized to me, and I felt really bad about it…" Her words were stammering, and Gu You didn't know how to respond. Just apologize already, the words still weren't coming out right.

Seeing the disdainful look on Gu You's face, Ye Xinglan felt extremely embarrassed. This was her first time apologizing to someone actively, and she truly didn't know how to do it.

"Alright, alright, stop with all that. You need to get rid of your princess syndrome. Although you're still not quite there, it's the same. I mean, you're such a pretty girl, but always using that look and that proud tone. It's really irritating. It's fine if you're dealing with someone weaker than you, but what if they're stronger than you? Just remember that there's always someone better, and the world is vast," Gu You said calmly.

"Mmm!"

"Where's the little fatso? I was planning on taking him to eat something good."

"He… I don't know. He just disappears sometimes. He's probably out looking for food again." Ye Xinglan said awkwardly.

...

After a delicious grilled fish meal, they returned to the competition venue, where Xu Xiaoyan hurriedly ran up to Gu You, looking uneasy. "Gu You! Something's happened."

"What's wrong?" Gu You, still in a good mood after eating with Gu Yue, felt sensitive to the unexpected news.

"There's someone calling himself Xin Ya. He said… it seems like something happened at the orphanage, something major!" Xu Xiaoyan repeated the words of Xin Ya.

When Gu You heard the name Xin Ya, his heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling, but he hoped for the best.

"It won't be anything serious!" Gu You kept repeating this phrase.

"What happened?" Gu Yue noticed that Gu You's mood had become erratic, and his emotions were clearly fluctuating.

"Gu Yue! I have something urgent to take care of. Help me ask for leave from Teacher Wu. I need to go out for a bit. It might not be a big deal, but it's related to my childhood. I won't explain it to you, but it's important." Gu You grabbed Gu Yue's arms with trembling hands, causing her face to flush slightly.

"You… let go, I understand." Gu Yue said softly.

Gu You realized he had acted impulsively and released his grip. He then snatched the Soul Guidance communicator from Xu Xiaoyan's hands, found the latest contact number, and dialed it while quickly heading out. "I'm going home."

Gu Yue watched his back, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Xu Xiaoyan was completely shocked. "Isn't he going to compete anymore?"

The voice on the other end was chaotic, full of excitement and unspoken concerns. "Finally... finally reached you."

The voice trembled, and it was a voice Gu You recognized well.

"What happened?" Gu You was already booking a train ticket to Tianhai City, a third-tier city.

"It's all gone! They're all gone…" Xin Ya sobbed.

"What's gone?! Tell me clearly! I'm feeling worse than you. If you don't explain it clearly, I swear, I'll come over and make sure I find out what happened and then take care of you." Gu You yelled, his voice shaking the entire train car as passengers gave him strange looks.

"The Tianhai Orphanage, everyone is gone. There's no trace of them. I can't find any information!" Xin Ya cried out.

Gu You dropped the Soul Guidance communicator in relief, but his anger was at its peak. Who dared to be so bold? Who dared to do this?

People say that when pain reaches its peak, one feels nothing. And Gu You truly felt that way. His bottom line had been crossed. He could accept not being able to stop someone from killing him, but he could not accept hearing that his loved ones were being harmed by others.

His mind raced with thoughts of who could be behind this, but he couldn't think of anyone.
