Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 56 The Golden Dragon King's Uprising

Na'er froze, her purple eyes filled with confusion: "Why should I say sorry?"

Gu Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze towards Su Qiu becoming more inquisitive, as if she also wanted to know the reason for his sudden apology.

Su Qiu lowered her eyes and sincerely explained the reason: "My purpose in asking that question was impure, so I'm sorry."

Having abandoned the idea of using Na'er, Su Qiu decided to keep this relationship pure.

I will treat others with sincerity in return.

After he finished speaking, the car fell silent again.

Tang Wulin and the others were completely baffled, unable to understand the meaning behind Su Qiu's words.

How did a casual assumption become a matter of "impure motives"?

Na'er paused, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of "impure motives".

But seeing Su Qiu's serious expression, she didn't press further. She simply shook her head gently, her tone full of understanding: "It's okay. Whatever you ask, I'll answer the truth."

In her heart, she cared more about whether the promises she made were believed than about the so-called "purpose".

Gu Yue looked at Su Qiu's honest appearance.

The probing look in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a sense of understanding.

She instantly understood Su Qiu's thoughts.

It's not hard to see from the hypothetical question that Su Qiu was considering using Na'er's feelings for him. He wanted to test whether Na'er would help him if they encountered danger in the future.

It's easy to see that, because that's exactly what Gu Yue planned: to win Su Qiu over with affection.

Gu Yue turned her gaze back to the window, her expression still calm.

But upon closer inspection, it left me somewhat bewildered.

The final exams are over, followed by a month-long vacation.

"Na'er, what are your plans for the holiday?"

A message came from Makino, asking Su Qiu to find some time to go there soon.

Since it was a holiday, Su Qiu decided to visit Tian Dou City and extended an invitation to Na'er.

It's really nice to have someone to travel with when you go on a long trip.

"I'm planning to go to Tiandou City this holiday, want to come along?"

"Okay, okay!" Na'er's eyes lit up instantly, and she almost immediately moved closer to Su Qiu, jumping up and down.

"No."

A cool, clear voice suddenly broke through; it was Gu Yue.

"Huh?!" Na'er was annoyed: "What do you mean no?"

Where I go is none of your business!

This time, Gu Yue didn't argue with Na'er; she just quietly looked at her.

Those eyes held no emotion whatsoever. Suddenly realizing something, Na'er unconsciously stopped her playful movements, her voice softening slightly: "Ready?"

Tang Wulin, who was laughing and joking with Xie Xie not far away, suddenly shivered and felt uneasy.

Na'er tightened her grip on Su Qiu's sleeve, a hint of hesitation flashing in her purple eyes, but she still stubbornly said, "It's not like it'll make a difference if it's only for this month. He can't run away anyway."

"Delay will only lead to complications." Gu Yue shook her head, her tone carrying a chill unlike anything she had ever used.

Their conversation was not kept from Su Qiu.

After all, people who don't know the inside story won't understand what they mean and will just assume there's something going on between them.

Na'er looked at Gu Yue's unyielding gaze, then turned to Su Qiu, her tone somewhat helpless, "I'm sorry, I probably can't go with you. Gu Yue and I have important things to do this month."

"It's alright, let's do it next time then." Su Qiu said thoughtfully.

'Ready?' 'He can't escape again.'

The image of Shenwei from that stormy night before flashed through my mind.

The following day, both Gu Yue and Tang Wulin arrived at the academy as usual. Clearly, the competition hadn't ended in a draw.

Is this a plan to attack Tang Wulin again?
Su Qiu wasn't sure; it was just a guess.

But it should be pretty close to the truth.

During this time together, Na'er had no guard up against Su Qiu, so he could clearly see that something was wrong with Na'er and would observe Tang Wulin from time to time.

"Ugh."

Su Qiu glanced at Tang Wulin, remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed without saying anything. Although they were classmates, he didn't want to see anything happen to him, but it wasn't something he could interfere with.

He had no right to say anything about the matter between the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

Since that's the case, let's give Tang San a piece of our mind.

It's holiday time. Everyone has their own lives to live. Tang Wulin is packing his luggage alone, feeling a little lost.

Everyone in Class Zero went home.

What about him?

Where can he go back to?

In the end, Tang Wulin couldn't resist his longing and decided to return to Aolai City for a visit.

Although neither Mom nor Dad knows where they went.

There are memories there after all.

Tang Wulin stuffed his neatly folded school uniform into his backpack and accidentally stumbled upon an old photo hidden in a lining.

Pick up the photo.

In the photo, he sits between his parents, smiling and showing his two little tiger teeth.

As he stroked the edge of the photo, his eyes welled up with tears.

Even though she knew she would most likely not see anyone when she went back, her feet still moved involuntarily toward the station leading to Aolai City.

Just as he stepped out of the academy gate, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him. "Tang Wulin!"

Su Qiu caught up with him carrying a simple bag and a bag of snacks, intending to eat and play along the way.

While giving some to a friend, he said:
"Are you going to the station? I'm going to Tiandou City anyway, so let's go to the station together."

Tang Wulin took the snacks, paused for a moment, then scratched his head and laughed. The loneliness he had felt earlier seemed to be lessened by this sudden companionship: "Okay, let's do it together!"

Su Qiu patted his shoulder, subtly leaving behind a wisp of elemental power.

He was still worried.

Su Qiu is that kind of person. He can't help everyone, but he won't turn a blind eye to things he encounters.

Perhaps this elemental power won't help much, but at least he's not going against his conscience.

The two walked side by side in the sunset, their shadows stretched long.

Tang Wulin chattered on about how beautiful Aolai City was, his face beaming with joy, all traces of his previous melancholy gone.

Su Qiu occasionally chimed in with a few words. He had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King, but he also didn't want to watch this clueless boy fall into danger without any precautions.

Even when he read the original novel in his previous life, Tang Wulin in the later parts of the story made him frown.

But none of this has happened yet.

Su Qiu initially maintained due respect for everyone, treating them all equally before they did anything.

Of course, evil spirit masters are an exception.

If the evil spirit master encounters Su Qiu, he'd better explain his predicament quickly.

If you explain too slowly, you can explain in your next life.

However, Su Qiu might not listen at all.

Tang Wulin stood in front of the house in Aolai City with a backpack on his back.

When I opened the door, the wooden table in the living room was still there, but it was covered with a thick layer of dust.

He walked over, his fingertips lightly brushing the tabletop, and in a daze, he could almost see his mother setting out the dishes and his father smiling.

During the recollection, a sudden change occurred.

Tang Wulin's expression tightened.

He sensed the Golden Dragon King's seal within his body was surging! It seemed to be trying to break free.

He stumbled and fell, crashing heavily onto the dusty wooden table, the bowls and chopsticks clattering to the ground.

"Die from an explosion." Old Tang's warning echoed in my mind.

"Old Tang?"

"Old Tang!"

Tang Wulin fearfully called out to Old Tang, who hadn't responded for a long time; this was the only person he could turn to for help.

He can't die; he has to live to wait for his parents to come back.

　I originally intended to let it go.

　　But then I realized that this didn't fit the protagonist's character.

　　Let's intervene.
