However, man proposes, God disposes. Before the plan could succeed, a shrewd man suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Not only did they completely ruin his plans, but they even kidnapped Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan together:

Heaven have mercy, the latter was the second candidate he had prepared for Yu Tianheng!

"Senior, you've misunderstood."

When someone radiates malice, others can sense it, just like Du Cheng is doing now.

Although he didn't know Qin Ming's thoughts, Du Cheng could still sense the malice emanating from him.

Calmly shaking his head, Du Cheng then continued:

"I just wanted to remind you that there's still a bet between Dugu Yan and me that hasn't been settled yet."

"The instructor of the prestigious Royal Fighting Team wouldn't stand by and watch his student break his promise, would he?"

"Bet?"

As soon as Du Cheng finished speaking, a smile appeared on Qin Ming's face:

"These are all family matters. Surely a junior shouldn't make things difficult for someone with a joke, right?"

"It's better than this..."

"I'll personally offer 100 gold soul coins as a greeting gift. Let's pretend the previous joke never happened, shall we?"

"Du Cheng."

Before Du Cheng could even speak after Qin Ming finished speaking, Flander quickly expressed his opinion:

"We're all family, how can we take a joke seriously? Let them go home quickly."

"Thank you, Dean."

With a smile, Qin Ming cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Flander before turning his gaze back to Dugu Yan:

"Yanzi, Tianheng's injuries are quite serious. Why don't you go back and take care of him first?"

'Snap, snap snap snap~'

Applause rang out in the private room, and Du Cheng's face broke into a genuine smile:

"As expected of a senior, if you didn't look like a human, I would have thought you were some kind of new soul beast!"

How come the words you uttered on the Soul Battle Stage become jokes when they come out of your mouth?

"If I had lost back then, would you still say it was a joke?"

"when……"

Upon hearing Du Cheng's words, Qin Ming's face darkened.

However, in order to achieve his goal, he still had to suppress his anger and pretend to be calm.

"Furthermore..."

However, since Du Cheng had already spoken, how could he possibly give him a chance to turn the tables?

"Senior, you keep saying you care about the students, but I get the feeling you want them to go back and be Yu Tianheng's maids?"

"Or is it that... in your eyes, Yu Tianheng is actually the only student you have?"

"presumptuous!"

'Snapped! '

A hand slammed onto the table, and a powerful surge of soul energy emanated from the body:

A phantom image of a gray wolf appeared, and six spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and one black—glossed brightly on Qin Ming's body.

"What, now that you can't fool me, you're resorting to coercion?"

With a slight upturn of his lips revealing an undisguised sarcasm, Du Cheng continued:

"I just don't know if your strength is enough to coerce others?"

"Du Cheng!"

With a roar, Qin Ming unleashed a murderous aura:

“Dugu Yan is the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, so my actions just now can be considered as saving you.”

"But you've disregarded my good intentions. Do you really think I, Qin Ming, have no temper?"

With his thoughts exposed, Qin Ming's disgust for Du Cheng reached its peak:

If he hadn't wanted to save face for Flanders and the others, he would have definitely taken drastic action and taught this arrogant brat a lesson about respect and hierarchy.

Of course, it's no wonder Qin Ming has such confidence.

Firstly, Flander and the others hadn't told him about Du Cheng's backing; secondly, he hadn't witnessed Du Cheng's attack when he was catching up with Flander earlier...

Otherwise, Qin Ming would definitely have toned down his temper a bit, and at least wouldn't have been so arrogant.

Unfortunately, there aren't that many 'what ifs' in the world, so Qin Ming was extremely confident at this moment.

"Yanzi, you go back and take care of Tianheng. I want to see how this brat plans to stop us!"

Turning to look at Dugu Yan beside him, Qin Ming spoke directly.

"Teacher Qin, I'm not going back!"

To Qin Ming's surprise, Dugu Yan actually refused after hearing his words.

"what?"

Turning to look at Dugu Yan, Qin Ming's face turned grim:

"Do you even know what you're saying...?"

"I'm not going back!"

Before Qin Ming could speak, Dugu Yan interrupted him:

"The bet was made by me, Dugu Yan, and since I lost, I will naturally abide by it."

“My grandfather is a titled Douluo, so I should keep my word instead of embarrassing him here.”

Dugu Yan spoke with a serious expression, but only she knew that it was all nonsense!

She would be extremely willing to not have to be a maid:

After all, being a maid is not something to be proud of compared to breaking a bet.

But even if it's against the bet, there's a prerequisite—it has to be something she, Dugu Yan, is willing to do!

She hadn't noticed it before, but after Du Cheng's reminder, Dugu Yan also noticed something:

From their past interactions to just now, although Qin Ming had taken good care of her, he had been constantly trying to get her closer to Yu Tianheng and even make her submit to him.

Why should I go back to take care of Yu Tianheng?

Don't forget the disgusting things that guy just said to me on the fighting stage!

As her thoughts raced, a cold glint flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes:

It seems that Du Cheng's words just now weren't entirely without merit!

"you……"

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Qin Ming was taken aback:

"Yanzi, how could you do this? I'm only doing this for your own good!"

Chapter 117 Borrowing Eggs to Start a Chicken?

When Qin Ming's gaze fell on Dugu Yan, his expression showed some displeasure:

Who is Yu Tianheng?

The future leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan!

Compared to his status, even Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo-level expert, is nothing.

Marrying him is a dream come true for so many people, so why is this guy so ungrateful?

A philosopher once said that the most selfish thing to say in the world is "I'm doing this for your own good".

A voice tinged with disdain rang out, and Du Cheng's mocking gaze fell upon Qin Ming:

"Because people who say such things are often using other people's morality to bind them."

"Du Cheng, you..."

"Teacher, I will not go back."

Before Qin Ming could even display his anger, Dugu Yan's voice rang out again:

"If you really care about me, you should respect my choices instead of insisting on your own way."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan silently added another sentence in her heart:

Even if you want to do things your own way, you don't want to force me to do it!

"In that case..."
