The ultimate transmission fear beast stands on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 446 The action begins

'Ah, another mistake.'

Amidst the laughter and cheers, Gu You with an expressionless face stood out.

Looking at the three shiny artificial soul bones in the brocade plate, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have made an unforgivable mistake.

He actually forgot to find someone to make a trophy!
It's not easy to stand on the podium. Even if you don't get a Hercules Cup or a Champions League trophy, you can just get a Bundesliga salad plate to look very impressive.

There's nothing domineering about brocade plates!
Damn it, I must remember to make up with Qian Renxue when I go back.

Oh yes, I would also like to suggest that the college build a championship display room, and find an artist to draw a large group photo and hang it next to the trophy, so that future juniors can admire the heroic figures of their predecessors and increase their sense of belonging and collective honor.

Gu You thought so, and the more he looked at the brocade plate containing the soul bone, the more he disliked it.

Little did they know that due to his two-meter height that stood out from the crowd, almost everyone could clearly see the disgust on his face.

After the game, a reporter asked this question: "Captain Gu You, during the award ceremony that just ended, we noticed that your expression didn't look very good. Is it because your opponent was too weak?"

Shui Bing'er beside him turned her head calmly, and Gu You blinked innocently.

"this."

"Fighting Spirit Arena Daily, Jiang Yian."

When he heard it was the Fighting Spirit Arena, Gu You immediately understood.

Generally, people who choose to put on a bad face during award ceremony celebrations do so because they have a conflict with the organizer.

But everyone knew about his relationship with Xue Qinghe, and they were so close that he even pointed at Xue Ye and scolded her. So everyone subconsciously ruled out the correct answer and attributed the ugly face to Tianshui.

They can also try to stir up the anger of both sides. If they start quarreling and have a fight in the fighting arena, then they will make a lot of money.

"Okay, reporter Jiang, your question is very interesting."

Gu You, who had no intention of making enemies, spread his hands and said, "You know, Tianshui defeated Chihuo in the semifinals and made it to the finals. If they are too weak, I think Chihuo Academy will definitely have something to say."

"Then are you dissatisfied with Master Gu You's reward?"

"No, no, no, no one in the world would be dissatisfied with spirit bones."

Gu You waved his hands repeatedly, forcing a happy smile on his face: "My bad expression is just because I'm too tired. Tianshui caused us a lot of difficulties. After the game, I just want to find a comfortable bed and sleep as soon as possible."

After saying that, Gu You pretended to yawn loudly.

Perhaps because Gu You's yawn was too real, after the post-match interview, on the way back to the lounge, Qin Ming said to him: "Take some time to get some sleep later. When you wake up, we'll go together to attend the banquet tonight."

Probably due to the geographical location, in the Tiandou Empire, located to the west of Douluo Continent, the nobles love to find all kinds of reasons to hold banquets.

When Guang Mengyi received the invitation letter, Gu You saw the words "Late Autumn Red Leaves Banquet" and "Winter First Snow Banquet" written on it.

Seems poetic, doesn't it?

In fact, according to Meng Yiran, these nobles had no interest in appreciating the maple leaves and watching the snow. They only liked to drink and chat in the magnificent hall and enjoy the flattery of others in a life of luxury.

However, tonight's banquet was obviously different from previous ones.

In name, this was a celebration banquet for Tiandou Royal Academy to celebrate its victory.

But no one really treats it as a simple celebration party.

The three major forces of Tiandouxue Family, Wuhun Hall, and Qibao Liuli Sect gathered together, and matched the soul master's precious artificial soul bone. It is possible that after a banquet, the benefits were divided quietly.

Therefore, no matter whether Gu You was joking just now or not, Qin Ming would let him hurry up and sleep so that he could get enough rest for the banquet in the evening.

Gu You had no choice but to find a corner in the lounge to lie down. When he woke up from his sleep, it was already night.

Everyone except him had changed their clothes.

"Wait, you guys are wearing this?"

"Yeah, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Wu looked down at the clothes: "How is it, doesn't it look good?"

"What's so good about it? Isn't this just the school uniform?!"

Gu Youren was stunned and slapped himself on the forehead.

It's not easy to become the protagonist of the banquet. Even if you don't have to wear a custom-made suit by a fifty-year-old tailor, you should at least dress up.

Fortunately, he even customized a black cloak of the same style as that of Oberon in advance, preparing to make a splash at the banquet.

"Brother, here it is."

Ranta handed over a brand new, oversized uniform. Seeing that the matter was done, Gu You could only put it on dejectedly.

"Set off."

At Qin Ming's command, everyone followed him out of the fighting arena and got on the carriage that had been prepared in advance.

They landed in a familiar place, but the person waiting for them at the door was not Xue Qinghe, but a woman of the same age whom they had never met before.

"Good evening everyone."

The elegant girl lifted her skirt and knelt down to salute: "My name is Xue Ke, the eldest princess of the Tiandou Empire. At the order of my brother Xue Qinghe, I am waiting for everyone from the Royal Fighting Team."

"Your Highness, we are late."

Qin Ming hurriedly went up to her and started talking to Her Royal Highness the Princess.

"Xue Ke? Qian Renxue's supporter in the royal family?"

While everyone was chatting, Gu You touched his chin thoughtfully.

Generally speaking, only a spouse, children or other trusted family members can greet guests outside on behalf of the host.

Xue Ke's appearance here means that she might be a family member that Qian Renxue thinks she can trust.

The original novel has very little description of Xue Ke, and the only label about her is "Tang San/Tang Yin's admirer."

Considering that the relative who attended her graduation ceremony at Yuexuan was Xue Qinghe, it is not surprising that she is trusted by Qian Renxue.

A royal family member you can trust.
Several situations in which Xue Ke could play the greatest role suddenly appeared in Gu You's mind.

Marriage, puppet, heir
A high-end vase without substance probably only has these few uses.

"Come to think of it, when I was having afternoon tea with my brother recently, our topic always revolved around Captain Gu You."

Xue Ke noticed that Gu You didn't say a word, and fearing that she would neglect the distinguished guest, she took the initiative to change the topic.

Ranta asked curiously, "Your Highness the Crown Prince?"

"correct."

Xue Ke nodded and pretended to be distressed: "He told me that when he inherits the throne, he plans to implement major reforms to the existing system of the empire. Not only does he plan to increase investment in education, he also plans to start from agriculture, transportation and national defense to improve the comprehensive national strength of the empire as quickly as possible."

"He said that these were all inspired by Captain Gu You. Without Captain Gu You, he would not have known that being an excellent emperor required so many things."

"Your Highness is serious."

Coming back to his senses, Gu You smiled at Xue Ke and silently killed the thought that had just arisen in his heart. Damn it, skipping the stage of "understanding Tang San" and directly reaching the realm of "surpassing Tang San", right?

How is using people who know nothing as bargaining chips different from the future God King Tang?

Suppressing the inexplicable irritation in his heart, Gu You said with a smile: "Speaking of which, last time I went to have tea with Brother Qinghe, he still owed me a few bags of good tea. I don't know if he still remembers this matter."

Xue Ke heard that he was joking and raised her fist and waved it with a smile: "Don't worry, I will go to my brother to collect the debt later."

The banquet was unremarkable.

Under the influence of alcohol, the nobles talked a lot about how much benefit artificial soul bones would bring, and imagined that everyone would unite together to grab the biggest piece of the pie from the Empire, the Spirit Hall, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

In addition, teachers and students from the other six colleges participating in the competition, including Lan Ba ​​College, also appeared at the banquet.

Share delicious food with familiar friends, exchange training experiences, and complain about the Royal Fighting Team’s incompetence.

"Hey, could you eat slower?"

The new barbecue was just served and Hu Yanli finished it all before he ate a few slices. Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but complain.

"No." Hu Yanli refused: "The dining table is a battlefield, and the bowls and chopsticks are swords and guns. If you want to eat, do it yourself."

"You said it. Brother-in-law, Yufeng, Oslo, let's go!"

"Oh!" x3
Not far away, Huo Wu looked up in confusion: "Why is it so noisy over there?"

"do not know."

Ranta shook his head slightly, picked up a piece of tomato cheese and put it on Huo Wu's plate: "This is delicious, you should try it too."

The rich milky aroma matched with the refreshing tomato. Meng Yiran squinted her eyes happily: "Not a bad combination, Atata, eat more."

Zhu Zhuqing introduced: "This cheese is called buffalo cheese, and it is a specialty of Xingluo Jiangyang City. I will go home for the holiday next week, so I will bring some back for you."

The deans of the academies gathered together, complimenting the three teaching committee members while asking why the deputy captain Tang San and the last student Lanta did not appear.

"Are you asking Xiao San?"

After a few glasses of strong liquor, Zhilin, the education committee member, blushed and shouted, "He is my most valued student. He has been studying new self-created spirit skills behind closed doors recently and has no time to participate in the competition."

"Zhilin, that's enough, drink less."

Meng Shenji's face darkened as he snatched the bottle of wine he had just picked up.

Under Xue Qinghe's instruction, Tang San's whereabouts became a secret between the empire and the government. Qin Ming couldn't say anything, so he could only perfunctorily answer the three education committee members. Tang San, who couldn't beat Gu You, was in seclusion studying his own soul skills.

Bai Baoshan said with a smile: "Tang San is a stubborn kid. He is unwilling to play until his self-created spirit skill is completed. We have no choice but to arrange for Gu You to lead the team alone. I hope he can take on the responsibility of captain."

"As for Ranta, she has encountered some difficult problems recently. We will not require her to appear on the stage until we confirm that she is fine."

Huyan Zhen, Yu Luomian and Dong Yinhan all looked gloomy.

Wow, with two fewer people, they can beat our Xiangjia/Thunder/Tianshui College, right?

When I get back, I must implement high-quality quality education in the academy, and strive to give your Royal Fighting Team a beating next time.

Ling Xiaochen looked around the hall and asked in confusion: "Luo Mian, why didn't Erlong come?"

"Yes." Huo Yuanlie agreed, "Except for the Dai family tiger cub who didn't come because he was afraid of suspicion, all other students from Lan Ba ​​Academy are here. As the dean, it's a bit inappropriate for her not to attend the party."

Yu Luomian didn't say anything, but just sighed deeply.

Huo Yuanlie quickly imagined a 42-episode family ethics drama in his mind, and then stopped talking, turning around to make fun of Dong Yinhan who was defeated by a single rider in a team battle.

"What? Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong and Dai Mubai are all missing?"

After entering the venue, he listened to the leaders (Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi, Cixue) take turns to give speeches, and then was pulled by the Education Committee to show off. After finally getting away, before he had eaten a few mouthfuls of food, Gu You was pulled into a corner by Qian Renxue, who was wearing Xue Qinghe's skin, and learned this shocking fact.

If Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong eloped, they wouldn't drag Dai Mubai into it as a third wheel.

Even though he was under a huge impact, Gu You controlled the volume very well, and the scandal of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan did not become known to everyone.

Ladies and gentlemen, modern society is tolerant. No matter how strange Master Yu's XP is, Gu You will forgive him generously.

"Yu Luomian told Flanders first in the morning, and then Flanders told me during the halftime break. So after the game was over, I immediately arranged for Elder She Long to go to Lanba Academy to investigate and try to find new clues."

"So? Did he find it?"

"Well, I found it."

Qian Renxue's face turned pale: "In the house where Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong live, in addition to the breath and blood of dragons, Elder She Long also found the breath of the Fallen."

"?!"

Gu You's movements were still lazy, but his eyes immediately became aggressive, just like a cheetah walking in the jungle, the moment it finds the trace of its prey, it will think about how to bite off their throat.

"sure?"

"Yes, Elder She Long has participated in the operation of hunting down the Fallen many times. It is impossible for him not to be able to distinguish between ordinary spirit masters and the Fallen."

"Very good, then the answer is obvious."

Gu You said to Qian Renxue: "One of Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong must have turned into a Fallen One and killed the other."

"Is it possible that the one who did this was the Holy Spirit Church?"

Gu You shook his head: "It's unlikely. With the Soul Saint's vigilance and martial soul's true body, it's unlikely that he would be knocked down without any movement."

"Because she and Yu Xiaogang have a special close relationship, and the third missing person is Dai Mubai, I personally tend to believe that after Yu Xiaogang became a fallen person, he used drugs to stun and kill Liu Erlong, and then took Dai Mubai away."

Gu You's analysis made sense, and Qian Renxue had no intention of arguing. She asked, "Do you need me to tell Flanders and Yu Luomian?"

Gu You thought for a moment, looked at the Titled Douluo who were gathered in a circle not far away and pouring wine to each other, and said, "Don't worry, after tonight, all the truth will come out."

At the same time, Xue Ke complained to her close maid: "Look at my brother's attitude just now. If you don't know, you would think he is my brother's biological brother, and I am just an adopted sister."

The older maid said nothing, but smiled and tolerated the princess's complaints.

She was clear about her duties. If anyone dared to follow Xue Ke's words, she would have to pack her bags and leave the palace the next second.

Suddenly, a man wearing simple yet elegant clothes walked towards Xue Ke.

"Hello, Princess." The man introduced himself: "My name is Tang Gui, and I am the steward of Yuexuan."

Xue Ke asked in confusion: "Hello, Manager Tang Gui, what can I do for you?"

"It's like this," Tang Gui said gently, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plans to arrange for you to enroll in Yuexuan next year. Madam heard that you are not interested in aristocratic etiquette, so she wants to communicate with you alone to observe your mastery of etiquette."

"If there is no problem, Madam will respect your opinion and tell His Royal Highness that you do not need to come to Yuexuan to study."

Xue Ke hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of not enrolling, so she said to Tang Gui, "Lead the way."

"Yes, Your Highness. Please follow me."
