Chapter 309 Explains Yu Tianheng's Purpose
There was a long silence.
Ye Qifeng sighed softly, feeling that it was necessary to make things clear with Dugu Yan.
So he spoke to her in a tactful way:
"Um, Miss Yan, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to stop you from having male friends. You don't need to do this."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan looked up in surprise at Ye Qifeng and whispered:
"But didn't you say you minded my relationship with Yu Tianheng and didn't want me to get too close to him?"
Ye Qifeng sighed softly and explained:
"Miss Yan, the reason I want you to stay away from Yu Tianheng is because you, and your grandfather, are both my people."
"I am the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, while Yu Tianheng is the Young Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are hostile to each other, have a bad relationship, and will eventually become irreconcilable enemies."
"This request is not about right or wrong, but about one's stance. It may be a bit excessive and unfair to you, but I sincerely hope that you can grant me this impolite request."
"Is that so?"
Dugu Yan opened her mouth, her eyes widening slightly. She had never imagined that this was related to her stance.
However, after hearing Ye Qifeng's explanation, Dugu Yan understood.
From a standpoint perspective
She and her grandfather, Dugu Bo, were both subordinates of Ye Qifeng, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and naturally belonged to the Spirit Hall.
Yu Tianheng is the young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, an enemy of the Spirit Hall, which means he is also an enemy of her and her grandfather.
In this way...
She and Yu Tianheng were indeed not suited to be too close.
After figuring out the reasons, Dugu Yan no longer felt that Ye Qifeng's request was excessive or rude; on the contrary, she thought it was perfectly reasonable and justified.
After all, it was nothing compared to the benefits Ye Qifeng had given her and her grandfather.
Besides, she had already planned to do that.
Ever since her grandfather took her from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and brought her to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and she was amazed by Ye Qifeng, she had long forgotten what Yu Tianheng was.
and so.
Dugu Yan only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Ye Qifeng's request for her to stay away from Yu Tianheng.
But just as she was about to speak, Ye Qifeng interrupted her.
All I heard him say was:
"Of course, there's another reason why I want you to stay away from Yu Tianheng."
"What's the reason?"
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up instantly, filled with anticipation.
"I wonder if your grandfather ever told you that Yu Tianheng's motives for pursuing you weren't entirely pure?"
Meeting Dugu Yan's gaze, Ye Qifeng didn't explain the reason directly, but asked another question.
"Grandpa did say that."
Dugu Yan nodded slightly, but seemed somewhat puzzled:
"But I don't quite understand why Yu Tianheng's purpose is not simple. Grandpa didn't explain it to me in detail."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and asked again:
"Don't you find it strange that Yu Tianheng, as the young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, is going to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Is that strange?
Dugu Yan touched her red lips with her jade hand and tilted her head, not quite understanding.
Ye Qifeng rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself, "How can Dugu Bo be such a good grandfather? Didn't he ever explain the various Soul Master factions in Douluo Continent to his granddaughter?"
but.
On second thought.
Ye Qifeng quickly understood.
Although Dugu Bo was born into the Dugu clan of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, due to the decline of his clan, he was essentially a wild Title Douluo.
In addition, he cherished freedom above all else and was unwilling to join any faction.
Although he is old and has lived a long life, and is considered to have seen a lot, he probably doesn't know much about the major Soul Master factions.
Even if they exist, they are mostly superficial.
Therefore, Dugu Bo probably doesn't have much knowledge about the Soul Master faction to pass on to his granddaughter.
This shows that Dugu Yan, who is only fifteen years old this year, is still somewhat short-sighted.
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly and explained to Dugu Yan in detail:
"First of all, although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is only ranked third among the three upper clans, it is the oldest and has the deepest foundation. It also has an incredibly rich supply of Soul Master resources, which is more than enough to cultivate a mere young sect master."
"Secondly, even if Yu Tianheng really wants to choose a high-level soul master academy to attend, their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a high-level soul master academy under its banner that is no less impressive than the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. It is one of the five elemental academies located in Thunder City, and the Thunder Academy is famous throughout the entire Heaven Dou Empire."
"He could easily have enrolled at Thunder Academy, so why go to the far-flung Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
As he spoke, Ye Qifeng looked at Dugu Yan, whose face was filled with surprise, and stated a conclusion to her:
"It's obvious that he must have had an ulterior motive."
"Oh~~"
After listening to Ye Qifeng's explanation, Dugu Yan let out a long "Oh!" in sudden realization, feeling that she had gained new knowledge. After a moment of contemplation, she asked softly:
"So what is his purpose?"
"This has to do with your grandfather."
Ye Qifeng smiled faintly.
"It's related to my grandfather? What do you mean?"
Dugu Yan immediately looked up, extremely surprised.
"Because your grandfather was a Title Douluo."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly, and then explained:
"Yu Tianheng went to study at the Tiandou Royal Academy for only two reasons."
"One of the purposes is that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a cooperative relationship with the Heaven Dou Royal Family. Yu Tianheng's enrollment in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is to demonstrate the sincerity of this cooperation to the Heaven Dou Royal Family."
"And the other purpose is for you."
"For me?"
Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, somewhat dumbfounded.
"good."
Ye Qifeng nodded. "Of course, to be precise, it's for your grandfather, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."
"After all, your grandfather is a Title Douluo, and a Title Douluo who is independent of all forces. He is a powerful ally that many forces covet and vie to win over."
"Yu Tianheng pursues you with the aim of using you to win over your grandfather to their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After all, you are your grandfather's only and most important relative in this world."
"If I can win you over, it's like winning over your grandfather."
"In this way, regardless of whether your grandfather agrees to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or not, with you in his hands, your grandfather will have no choice but to stick with them from now on."
"I don't know how much of the reason Yu Tianheng pursued you was because of his affection for you, but I'm sure your grandfather played a significant role, accounting for at least half of it."
"This is Yu Tianheng's true purpose."
"W-So that's how it is?"
Dugu Yan was completely stunned.
Ye Qifeng's explanation was extremely clear and concise, and Dugu Yan naturally understood the ins and outs of the matter very quickly after listening to it.
Her natural talent and comprehension were already exceptional, and with the amplification from the celestial herbs and the enhancement of her strength, her mind became even more agile.
After a moment's thought, piecing together the memories in his mind of Yu Tianheng pursuing him, he instantly discovered many suspicious points.
Dugu Yan asked himself this question.
Within the entire Heaven Dou Royal Academy, her talent was considered top-notch. Although her appearance was also quite remarkable, it wasn't the most beautiful. There were many female students in the academy whose looks were no less than hers, and some were even more beautiful.
After all, those female students were either from royal or noble families or from various large and small Soul Master families. In short, they were all pampered daughters of their respective families, and none of them were not good-looking.
For example, her best friend Ye Lingling.
In terms of appearance and temperament, Lingling is on par with her, and may even be considered to be slightly better.
If it weren't for her personality—always wearing a black veil, exuding a cold and aloof aura, keeping people at arm's length—she would undoubtedly be even more popular than her.
But Yu Tianheng only had eyes for her, claiming he fell in love with her at first sight and disdaining all the other women who pursued him, while putting on a devoted act in front of her.
Looking at it now...
Yu Tianheng's behavior was probably intentional.
Or rather, his purpose from the very beginning was to target her.
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan felt a wave of fear and nausea, but also a sense of relief.
Fortunately, she listened to her grandfather and was not fooled by Yu Tianheng's sweet talk.
Her gaze shifted, finally settling on Ye Qifeng's handsome and captivating face. Her beautiful eyes shone brightly as she murmured to herself:
"Wow, he's really amazing!"
"Not to mention his good looks, his talent and strength are terrifying, his knowledge is also so broad, and he is very knowledgeable and experienced."
"Based solely on my understanding of the two major forces, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, as well as my understanding of my grandfather and me, I was able to analyze Yu Tianheng's purpose and see through his thoughts."
"Come to think of it, he's actually three years younger than me, but in front of him, I feel like I'm the one who's young and naive, unable to even see through Yu Tianheng's true colors."
"Oh dear, I feel so ashamed. I suddenly feel so embarrassed."
"No, it's not that I'm not good enough, it's that he's too outstanding, so outstanding that it makes my heart pound."
Dugu Yan stood there dumbfounded, staring intently at him, silent and lost in thought.
Ye Qifeng touched his nose and had no choice but to speak again:
"So, Miss Yan, do you understand why I want you to stay away from Yu Tianheng?"
"Okay, I understand."
Dugu Yan finally came to her senses, then nodded solemnly and said in a serious tone:
"Holy Son, rest assured, from now on, Grandpa and I will be yours, and no one will be able to take me away. As for that Yu Tianheng, I will stay far away from him and will definitely not have anything to do with him."
Great, all set, this insurance is secure.
Ye Qifeng was delighted to receive Dugu Yan's agreement.
"However, there's no need to be so serious. In the future, you and Yu Tianheng will inevitably have some interactions, since you are both students of the Tiandou Royal Academy and may even become teammates in the future."
Ye Qifeng said:
"In short, you just need to always remember not to get too close to him."
"Okay, I understand."
Dugu Yan nodded slightly.
"Miss Yan, given that my request to you is somewhat excessive, unfair, and unreasonable, if you have any conditions or requests, please feel free to make them up, and I will try my best to fulfill them, how about it?"
At this moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly added a few more words.
Although Dugu Yan voluntarily agreed to his request, Ye Qifeng still wanted to make it up to her in another way.
"Any conditions or requirements are acceptable?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan suddenly raised her eyes, her gaze gleaming as if she had come up with a brilliant idea.
"Yes, as long as it's within a reasonable range, feel free to ask."
Ye Qifeng was unaware of Dugu Yan's thoughts at the moment, and gave her an affirming smile.
"Then, will you be with me?"
Dugu Yan's voice was very soft, like a mosquito's buzz, barely audible.
"What?"
Ye Qifeng was slightly taken aback, not quite hearing it clearly.
I said, "I hope you can be with me."
Dugu Yan mustered her courage, raised her voice, and repeated herself.
After she finished speaking, her face suddenly turned bright red, so red it seemed like it could drip water, and at the same time, her heart pounded wildly, like a deer running around in a frenzy.
That shy demeanor was quite different from her usual languidness and arrogance.
This time, Ye Qifeng heard it clearly, but he was still dumbfounded.
What's going on?
It seems that Dugu Yan is confessing her feelings to him?
No, are all the girls in Douluo Continent this direct and brave?
At this moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly thought of Huo Wu, who was far away in Blazing Fire City. Huo Wu had confessed her feelings to him unexpectedly back then.
How can this be done?
Ye Qifeng suddenly felt a headache coming on.
After thinking for a long time, Ye Qifeng sighed. He was afraid he would have to disappoint another girl's expectations.
"Miss Yan, I'm afraid I cannot agree to your request."
"Huh? Why? Didn't you say any conditions and requirements were acceptable?"
Dugu Yan's eyes widened slightly, and she immediately asked him about it, forgetting her shyness and blushing.
"That's true, but it has to be reasonable first."
Ye Qifeng rubbed his forehead.
"But I think it makes perfect sense."
Dugu Yan pursed her lips, unwilling to give up.
"I'm sorry, Miss Yan."
Composing himself, Ye Qifeng apologized and said to her:
"I know you might have some feelings for me. I've seen everything you've done these past few days, and I can feel your affection."
"However, we've only known each other for a few days, we don't really know each other well, and our feelings for each other aren't deep yet, so do you understand what I mean?"
Don't you like me?
Dugu Yan understood the meaning behind Ye Qifeng's words.
"Miss Yan, to be honest, I admire you, but I'm not quite at the point of liking you yet."
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly, sighed, and told her the truth.
"Oh, I understand."
Dugu Yan's eyes immediately dimmed.
Although she had become vaguely aware of this from Ye Qifeng's intentional or unintentional avoidance of her over the past few days.
But hearing it from his own ears now is still disheartening.
My mood plummeted to rock bottom.
