Chapter 83: Teacher, Is This the Bone Dragon Spirit You Mentioned?

Hearing this, Huliena's expression softened slightly. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "It must be so. The Teacher never makes decisions without purpose."

After a pause, she added, "Yan, you need to read more books. Don't just focus on fighting all day. It's so uncouth."

In truth, Huliena had long been aware of Yan's feelings for her.

After all, how could she not notice the intense and special look in his eyes when he gazed at her, or the subtle favoritism he showed in their daily interactions?

However, her heart remained unmoved by Yan, and she had rejected him multiple times, both directly and indirectly.

Yet, the gentle hints and graceful exits she offered seemed to go unnoticed by Yan.

Each time, he would agree verbally, but as soon as he turned around, he would continue to cling to her like a shadow, finding all sorts of excuses to get closer, leaving Huliena somewhat exasperated.

Yan chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head. "Yes, yes, Nana, I'll listen to you. After we return, I'll definitely read more books and work on improving myself."

Xie Yue, who had been observing the scene, couldn't help but sigh inwardly for his good friend.

Among the three of them, he was the one who saw things most clearly.

He had long recognized Yan's affection for his sister, Huliena. Unfortunately, it was a case of unrequited love.

Xie Yue had also spoken to Huliena about this matter and knew that his sister had high standards and greater aspirations in her heart, leaving no room for Yan.

He had even privately advised Yan to give up and stop making these futile efforts.

But Yan, like a clueless fool, completely misunderstood Xie Yue's intentions, thinking that he was encouraging him to pursue Huliena.

Instead of retreating, Yan's enthusiasm only grew stronger, constantly finding new ways to show his affection for Huliena, much to Xie Yue's frustration.

Xie Yue was at his wit's end, unable to think of a better solution, and could only watch and wait.

After all, on one side was his long-time good friend, someone he had trained and struggled with in the camp, and on the other was his own flesh and blood, his sister. Both were dear to him.

Deep down, Xie Yue approved of Yan. After all, Yan was reliable and always stepped up when needed. Having grown up together, if Huliena were to marry Yan, Xie Yue would feel at ease.

But the problem might lie precisely in this—perhaps it was because Yan had always been there, caring for and looking after Huliena since childhood...

As the saying goes, the things that come too easily are often taken for granted.

If, from the beginning, Yan hadn't helped the two of them in the brutal training camp and had instead displayed his formidable strength from the start, perhaps the outcome would have been different...

But these were all just "what ifs."

Xie Yue raised his eyes and looked toward the distant tavern, saying in a deep voice, "Let's go. No matter who this person is, we'll find out by testing him."

With that, he led Huliena and Yan straight toward the tavern.

The three of them pushed open the tavern door, and the wooden panel let out a creak.

Inside, the aroma of food and a faint scent of alcohol filled the air. Since it wasn't yet peak hours, there were only a few people in the tavern.

Gu Feng had just finished ordering food from the kitchen and emerged, immediately noticing Xie Yue, Huliena, and Yan as they walked in.

After all, the trio of golden, black, and red hair was far too easy to recognize, especially with the fiery aura emanating from Hu Liena's brows.

Gu Feng keenly sensed that these people had ill intentions.

Ye Lingling also noticed something amiss and instinctively moved closer to Gu Feng.

Hu Liena was the first to speak, a seemingly harmless smile playing on her lips: "Little friend, strolling around alone with a pretty girl, quite the leisurely life, huh? How about big sister joins you?"

Gu Feng subtly positioned himself in front of Ye Lingling and responded politely: "What brings you here?"

Xie Yue crossed his arms and took a step forward, his sharp eyes scrutinizing Gu Feng: "We'd like to invite you to take a walk with us."

"And if I refuse?"

Gu Feng wasn't intimidated. After all, they were on Tiandou Avenue. If they dared to make a move here, he wouldn't hesitate to drag the three of them to Bibidong in exchange for resources.

Yan, standing to the side, let out an impatient snort and reached out to grab Gu Feng's shoulder, as if he intended to lift him off the ground: "Enough nonsense. How dare you refuse when Nana is speaking to you?"

Gu Feng's gaze turned icy. Calmly and precisely, he raised his hand and slapped Yan's incoming palm away with a resounding "smack."

His dark eyes instantly turned frosty, and a cold, imposing aura radiated from his body: "Speak properly. Don't get handsy, or I won't mind chopping off your dog's paw."

The current Golden Generation was, at most, around twelve or thirteen years old. But let's not forget, Gu Feng's Soul Power was already at level 24. Not only did he possess a Domain, but he also had a four-thousand-year Undead Soul Beast under his control. In terms of sheer configuration, Gu Feng completely outclassed the three of them. Not to mention the gap in their Martial Souls.

"You!" Yan was thoroughly enraged by Gu Feng's ruthless counterattack, veins bulging on his forehead: "Kid, how dare you speak to me like that!"

As he spoke, the faint aura of the Flame Overlord began to emanate from Yan's body, and the surrounding air seemed to grow hotter.

Gu Feng subtly signaled Ye Lingling with his eyes, telling her to be prepared. Ye Lingling understood and nodded slightly, her Soul Power beginning to circulate quietly as she summoned the Starlight Begonia with a wave of her hand.

Just as the tension reached its peak, the tavern owner hurried over. Seeing the explosive situation, his face filled with panic: "Esteemed guests, please, let's talk this out. Don't cause trouble in my humble shop."

Hu Liena glanced at the owner, a flash of coldness in her eyes: "Get lost. This doesn't concern you."

They had come here to assassinate Gu Feng, so they weren't afraid of causing a scene. Even if the city guards showed up, Chrysanthemum Douluo, lurking in the shadows, would handle them. Besides, the Tiandou Empire didn't have any Titled Douluos.

The owner turned pale with fear but didn't dare to leave, standing to the side and trembling. This shop was his life's work. If it were destroyed, he might as well die!

At this moment, Gu Feng turned to the owner and declared firmly: "Owner, go hide for now. I, Gu Feng, a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, guarantee that I will personally compensate for any losses incurred today."

Hearing the name of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the owner's eyes flickered with hesitation and struggle, but also gratitude. However, the situation was urgent.

He had no other choice but to grit his teeth, hastily bow to Gu Feng, and then stagger out of the tavern.

Shortly after, a voice of gratitude came from outside the door: "Young Master Ning, you must be careful!"

It was the tavern owner. He had just inquired with the owners of nearby shops and learned that most members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had the surname Ning, hence this scene.

Gu Feng's expression remained calm as he looked at Huliena and the two others confronting him. He took a step forward, preparing to strike first and seize the initiative.

The moment he made his move, his Martial Soul instantly manifested. The aura of the Saint Spirit Bone Dragon King, filled with a primal ferocity, swept over them, nearly suffocating Huliena and her companions.

"How is this possible?!"

"Teacher, is this the Bone Dragon Spirit you mentioned…"

This is bad, the intel was wrong!

There are traitors among the Spirit Hall's ranks!
