Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 28: The Complementarity of Lu Jun and Gu Yuena?
On the screen in front of Qian Gu Dong Feng, Lu Jun's various data are constantly being updated.

All the information is readily available.

It's still under control.

Soon, his office door was pushed open.

Qian Gu Dongfeng looked up and found it was his grandson, Qian Gu Zhangting.

"Grandpa, I don't quite understand." He walked straight to the desk and looked at his grandfather. "Letting a nine-year-old child enjoy the privileges of a Spirit Messenger? That's not in accordance with the rules!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Gu Dong Feng didn't even raise his head:

"Rules? I am the rule."

"But I'm not even qualified for those resources—"

"Precisely because you are not qualified." Qian Gu Dongfeng finally raised his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in his cloudy eyes. "A genius who can defeat Lingbing Douluo at the same level is worth the Spirit Pagoda giving its all."

“Grandpa,” Qian Gu Zhangting’s voice trembled, “that child is Leng Yaozhu’s disciple, it’s impossible for him to be truly loyal to our Qian Gu family…”

"Foolish," Qian Gu Dongfeng said in a deep voice. "For a genius like this, winning him over is the most advantageous thing for us."

"Even if it means becoming enemies with him, we must kill him immediately and deal with him cleanly. We absolutely cannot let him grow stronger, otherwise he will become the second Spirit Ice Douluo."

"All we need to do is give him benefits on his path to becoming stronger, so that he has a better impression of us."

"But grandpa..."

Qian Gu Zhangting wanted to continue asking questions, but a slow, steady knock on the door interrupted him.

"Enter."

Leng Yaozhu pushed open the door and entered, followed by Leng Yulai, who looked wary. The temperature in the entire office dropped a few degrees as the two sisters stood together.

Upon seeing Leng Yaozhu, Qian Gu Dongfeng's eyes lit up.

Her long red hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her skin was as white as snow with almost no flaws, and her figure was tall and slender, perfectly supporting the cheongsam she wore.

This is the most beautiful woman in the Spirit Pagoda.

"Tower Master," Leng Yaozhu stared expressionlessly at Qian Gu Dongfeng, "Could you explain why you're putting so much pressure on my disciple?"

Seeing this, Qian Gu Zhangting wisely withdrew from the office, leaving the three of them alone.

"You flatter me." Qian Gu Dongfeng smiled and spread his hands. "Do you dare say that with your disciple's abilities, he wouldn't be able to become a Spirit Envoy?"

"I'm just giving him a status that suits him, and aren't the benefits I'm offering good enough?"

"All resources are sponsored free of charge by the Spirit Pagoda."

"Just think, where else in the world can you find such great benefits?"

"He was only nine years old, a timeless figure."

Leng Yulai, standing behind, was practically spitting fire in her eyes.

"You suddenly made such a big fuss and announced so much in front of all the core disciples. You're putting him on the spot!"

"Why are you arguing with a nine-year-old!" Leng Yulai suddenly became agitated. "If you're so capable, come at us! What kind of person hits a child?"

"Yu Lai, don't get so agitated..."

The east wind, through the ages, offers kind words of advice.

But in the next sentence, Leng Yulai said bluntly:
"No wonder my sister doesn't even like you!"

The smile on Qian Gu Dongfeng's face froze instantly.

These words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into the heart of the ancient East Wind.

The atmosphere in the office instantly became tense, as if the air itself had frozen.

Qian Gu Dongfeng's expression gradually darkened, and he slowly stood up.

"Don't bring up what happened back then; it's all in the past."

It was common knowledge that he used to pursue Leng Yaozhu.

Everyone knows that Leng Yaozhu rejected Qian Gu Dongfeng's advances countless times for Yun Ming's sake.

“I did it for the child’s own good, giving him this identity to protect him.”

Qian Gu Dongfeng took a deep breath and adjusted his state. "Don't forget, even the Tang Clan is eyeing that child."

"I'm protecting him, understand?"

"When this child grows up, it's his choice who he wants to be with."

"Shameless." Leng Yulai pouted and crossed her arms.

“If you’ve only come to me for this matter, you can leave now.”

As he spoke, Qian Gu Dong Feng gestured for him to enter.

“I also don’t want to be around that child often. For important people like us to appear in front of a nine-year-old child would undoubtedly put pressure on him.”

"I would also like to say that at his age, all he needs to do is focus on his cultivation."

"Hmph, farewell."

Leng Yulai immediately turned and left.

Leng Yaozhu glanced at Qian Gu Dongfeng one last time before leaving as well.

As the sisters left, Qian Gu Dongfeng took a deep breath, trying to relieve the frustration he had just felt.

……

"Sis, what should we do next?"

Leng Yulai asked.

"What else can we do? Just do as he says. It's enough for us to protect Lu Jun's growth from the shadows."

Leng Yaozhu glanced at the time, as if she had remembered something.

"By the way, is today the day Lu Jun is going to the Forging Association?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect Lu Jun to choose forging and mecha manufacturing as his second profession. Is he trying to be an all-rounder? I don't know if he can handle two second professions," Leng Yulai complained.

“Don’t worry, I was the one who went with him to choose his second profession.” Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly. “It seems that Lu Jun can precisely control everything that contains ice elements because of his martial soul.”

"Whether it's forging or mecha manufacturing, as long as it's related to ice elements, his abilities are very strong. He's probably close to level three now."

"Level three?!"

Leng Yulai exclaimed in surprise.

"A nine-year-old with a level three second profession? That's outrageous..."

“I don’t think it’s too outrageous. After all, it’s a talent that was obtained by sacrificing something.” Leng Yaozhu responded to the past, unable to help but chuckle. “That kid Lu Jun can only forge things related to ice elements, even the parts for making mecha.”

"Besides that, he really doesn't know anything else. You could say he's extremely unbalanced in his studies. Otherwise, he would have already alarmed the current master craftsman Zhenhua."

"Also, that kid's mecha design skills are terrible. If he were excellent in all other areas, he might really be an all-around genius."

"Haha, so that's how it is. No wonder you chose both forging and mecha making." Leng Yulai couldn't help but laugh.

"However, Gu Yuena is very talented in mecha design and is almost at level two."

Leng Yaozhu continued.

"These two children complement each other very well. I really hope they can grow up happily at this age."

"Yes."

……

After finishing an afternoon of cultivation, Lu Jun stretched in the simulated environment cultivation room, his breath even exhaling white mist.

"The cultivation speed is not bad... at least it has smoothed out some of the debuffs from cultivating the ultimate attributes."

"Achoo!" Lu Jun suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"I wonder who's talking about me. Hmm, it's evening. Let's see if Gu Yuena is around."

With that, Lu Jun stood up, swiped his card, and prepared to leave.

Gently push open the door to the training room.

As soon as the door opened, Lu Jun was stunned.
