Chapter 286 Uninvited Guests
"Brother?"
After finishing the test of Yu Tianheng's fourth soul skill, Lanta, holding the data, saw the note left by Gu You and rushed to the training ground where Gu You was to see if there was anything he could help with.
As soon as he arrived, he saw Gu You gently holding Zhu Zhuqing, just like the scene of a hero holding a sealed princess after defeating the devil.
If you ignore the hero holding a recovery medicine in his hand and pouring it into the princess' mouth with a strange expression.
"Ah, Ata, are you done?"
Gu You asked after hearing Lanta's voice. Lanta replied, "Yes, brother. Brother Tianheng has almost reached his limit today, and the next test will be tomorrow."
"?" Gu You frowned slightly, "Is Lei Lin's consumption so great?"
Lanta shook his head, "No, brother. Brother Tianheng is mentally unable to continue the test, and he has gone back to rest now."
Just like Ning Rongrong inputting soul power into the leaves, Yu Tianheng, who was fully controlling lightning for the first time, felt that his head was hollowed out and his mental power was at the bottom after the test. It's not the general exhaustion of soul power or physical strength.
"Is that so? Then there's nothing we can do." If it's physical strength and soul power that are exhausted, they can recover as long as they find Tang San. Since it's mentally unable to continue, there's really nothing we can do.
After all, it's impossible to drink a refreshing medicine just for the test.
Although Gu You is confident that the refreshing medicine made by Tang San is pollution-free and harmless, and has no side effects. But this test is not urgent, so let him sleep and recover.
".Brother, I think you'd better pay attention."
Lanta pointed to Gu You's arms. Gu You looked down and found that the bottle of recovery medicine was empty at this time, but the empty bottle was still pressed against Zhu Zhuqing's face.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression was cold, and her eyes pierced Gu You like a sword. If her sight could be materialized, Gu You would probably have at least 39 holes on his body.
Gu You quickly threw away the empty bottle, helped Zhu Zhuqing, who had improved after drinking the recovery medicine, and stood aside to smile.
"I'll go back first." After leaving these five words, Zhu Zhuqing ignored Gu You who was smiling beside her and left with a strange red mark on her upper lip, dragging her still weak body.
".Brother"
"Stop talking, help me pick up the bottle."
After a day of training, after supervising everyone to do push-ups, Gu You sat in the huge dining room of Meng Yiran's house again after a long absence.
As the host, Meng Yiran sat at the main seat of the long table as usual. Gu You and Tang San sat on the left, and Xiao Wu and Ranta sat on the right.
This was not in accordance with etiquette, but it was not a gathering of nobles. Even if Sebastian was a senior butler who had been strictly trained, he would not require strict seating according to etiquette at this time.
After dinner, Xiao Wu sat on a chair and said with some emotion: "It feels like we haven't had dinner together for a long time since we came to Tiandou City."
Before Gu You and Tang San were taken away by Dugu Bo, everyone went to the Tiandou Great Soul Fighting Arena every night to participate in the Soul Fighting Competition according to Qin Ming's request. Therefore, dinner was either eaten in the academy cafeteria or found a restaurant outside.
After the two were taken away, it was needless to say that the number of people was not complete, so how could they have dinner together. When the two came back, the academy was already on vacation. Meng Yiran was going back to the Dragon Snake Family, but there was still one person missing.
I didn't feel anything wrong before, nor did I feel uncomfortable. But now that the five people have gathered again, the huge gap made Xiao Wu suddenly feel like she was back in Notting City.
Although the surrounding environment has completely changed, it seems that nothing has changed.
This moment seemed to have returned to the past, when Meng Yiran had not left Notting City to study in Tiandou, and everyone was crowded in a small house compared to here.
Gu You took Lanta to make a fire in the yard outside to roast chicken, and every change in the flame would cause a round of shouting. Tang San and Meng Yiran were in the kitchen, preparing various ingredients in an orderly manner. And I was chewing carrots, jumping around and making trouble on both sides.
It was strange. He had spent such a long time with his mother, Da Ming and Er Ming in the Xingdou Great Forest, but after his mother was killed by that human, he ignored Da Ming and Er Ming's requests to stay and chose to transform into a human without hesitation to leave the forest, just for the illusory possibility of revenge.
After coming to the human world, although it is inevitable that he sometimes recalls that carefree time. But more of the time, he still focuses on how to survive in the human world and find that human.
However, he had only been with the four people in front of him for a few years, but he felt nostalgic because of the separation of less than a few months.
Compared with the 100,000 years that were so long that they could be called huge waves in the long river of time, these few years can only be said to be small bubbles at most, and the smallest one. But they have left a deeper mark in his heart than those 100,000 years.
The deep loneliness hidden in Xiao Wu's words was particularly harsh to Tang San. Tang San could only comfort her: "Xiao Wu, everyone is very busy."
He was comforting Xiao Wu, but in fact, Tang San also felt like he was back in that small house.
Of the five people present, only Gu You and Xiao Wu are his half-siblings. But after years of getting along, Tang San has long regarded Meng Yiran as his unreliable sister, and Lanta as the youngest and most sensible sister.
No need to work hard to restore the glory of the Buddha's Wrath Tanglian. No need to practice Xuantian Gong to survive when he was weak. Now Tang San has got the family he dreamed of most in his past and present lives, so why doesn't he want to have dinner together happily like in the past.
However, there are gains and losses, and the best of both worlds often only appears in the wonderful stories of Gu Youyou.
In order to fulfill my own dreams, in order to fulfill the ideal of ancient travel, in order for everyone to have dinner together in the future. Tang San must continue to move forward without stopping.
Lan Ta was obviously affected by Xiao Wu's words. He remembered that the two of them went to visit Dugu Yan yesterday afternoon. He looked at Gu You with wide eyes and asked, "Brother, you and the third brother will go out to practice with Senior Poison Douluo in the future." ?"
If you answer "no" at this time, everyone except Tang San who knows the truth will be very happy. Even if he had to leave again later, he could still blame Dugu Bo for the reason.
Anyway, he doesn't look like a good guy, and his reputation is average. If you have too many lice, you won't be itchy. If you have too many debts, you won't have to worry. It should be fine if you have to shoulder an extra burden.
However, how many heartless people would choose to lie at this time? Even if it's a white lie, it's still a lie at heart. Unable to bear to deceive Lanta, Guyou replied: "Well, we will go after the test is over."
Seeing that the atmosphere had dropped visibly, Gu You quickly explained: "We now have a very important research, which is being carried out with the assistance of senior Dugu Bo. We will come back when the research is completed."
After hearing this, Meng Yiran, who had been silent and just drinking black tea, asked curiously: "Research? Isn't it cultivation?"
"It's both training and research. It should be said that it's both."
At that time, in order to alleviate everyone's worries and save some face for Dugu Bo. The reason Gu You used when he wrote back was that he was practicing under the guidance of a titled Douluo.
Although in Douluo Continent, there is no teacher who has unique secrets such as ring explosion, random cloak hammering method, and world domination. It seems that there is nothing to guide in cultivation except actual combat.
But considering the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Eyes, in the Sunset Forest with its ten thousand-year-old soul beasts, without the help of Dugu Bo, Guyou would probably have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to enter, relying solely on normal cultivation.
The immortal grass that can increase soul power when eaten, plus the unique environment's bonus to Tang San's cultivation speed, rounding it all off, it can be considered as helping with cultivation.
"That's right." Meng Yiran nodded. She was powerless in research and really couldn't do much to help.
But when it comes to research, another scholar present could not sit still. Lanta asked eagerly: "Brother, do you need my help with research?"
Upon hearing that Lanta wanted to help, Gu You hurriedly said to dispel her idea: "Ata, the environment in that place is quite special. With your current cultivation level, it may be dangerous to go there."
It's not that Gu You doesn't want to take Lanta there and regards this place as his own private property. It doesn't mean that Dugu Bo issued a gag order and did not allow anyone else to enter.
Even if it is, Gu You believes that as long as he opens his mouth, Dugu Bo will definitely be willing to give him face.
The fact is that it is easy to take Lanta there, just let Dugubo make one more trip. But once you actually enter the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Eye, how to deal with the ice and fire aura that is filled inside?
I have a physique that has been tempered for a long time and is superhuman, and I can withstand the pressure of the powerful and mutually exclusive ice and fire spiritual energy on my body for a long time. Since Tang San had half of the Blue Silver Emperor's bloodline in his body, the ice and fire aura was not only harmless to him, it even had many benefits.
But Lanta doesn't have a strong body, and he doesn't have a magical bloodline. It's just a weapon, the Heavenly Bow of the Martial Spirit, which has not even reached level 30 in terms of soul power. How can it be used against the aura of ice and fire?
Even if Tang San prepared a medicine that could withstand the ice and fire spiritual energy, once or twice would be fine, but how long could he survive by taking medicine for a long time?
"Next time, when you are strong enough, I will take you to that place to conduct research next time."
"Yes, brother. I understand."
After a moment of silence, Lanta didn't insist anymore, which made Gu You breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Li talked a lot but didn't seem to reveal any information. However, Lan Ta still heard that the place where they were taken by Poison Douluo should be a place where ordinary soul masters could not stay.
‘Could it be a poisonous gas that even Third Brother can’t completely eliminate? Loss of life? Impact of activities? Or hallucination? ’
Lan Ta has been with Gu You for so long, and he still learned a lot of real skills. In addition to his knowledge of martial arts research as a scholar, he also learned the ability to analyze known information, and was known as the "Intelligence Sky Striker" in the world.
From Gu You’s words, Lanta analyzed: Although Gu You’s environment is special, it may be dangerous. But since research work can be carried out normally, the environment must not be extremely bad and remains relatively stable.
If it is really extremely bad, it should be impossible to conduct field research. In this way, ancient travel will not be called research, but will be called inspection or investigation.
Since he can do research, he needs the help of his third brother, but it is not suitable for his weaker self, and he is also related to Dugu Bo, who is famous for his poison. Apart from poison gas, Ranta could think of no other possibility.
If Gu You and Tang San knew Lan Ta's analysis, they would most likely be shocked.
The ice spiritual energy and fire spiritual energy released by the Ice and Fire Eyes, if taken out separately, can be regarded as heavenly materials and earthly treasures of their respective attributes. They are top-notch cultivation supplies that ice and fire attribute soul masters cannot refuse.
But in the Eye of Ice and Fire, they are entangled. It was like a powerful poison, a trash crusher used to screen out the strong. If a soul master with insufficient strength is forced to stay for a long time, his body will have problems similar to those that go deep into a miasma land.
Minor cases will result in damage to the meridians and a decline in cultivation. Major cases will result in the meridians being cut off and no progress will be made in life. More serious cases may even lead to sudden death on the spot. It is just not because of poisoning, but because of two conflicting attributes.
Ranta silently made up his mind to practice harder and help Shanggu You in the future.
In the silence, Xiao Wu's voice suddenly rang out: "Sister Yiran, can I order food?"
"Don't you like these snacks? Then I'll call Sebastian in."
"No." Xiao Wu shook her head, "I suddenly want to eat something, and I want to eat it tomorrow night."
"Of course, that's no problem." Meng Yiran was a little surprised. When did Xiao Wu become so polite? So he smiled and said, "What do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll tell Sebastian later."
"Hmm~" Xiao Wu frowned, as if she was struggling with what to eat tomorrow night. Finally, she clapped her palms and said, "Radish soup, let's have radish soup."
".Radish soup?"
Xiao Wu just thought hard, and finally came up with a radish soup?
Meng Yiran was a little amused. She thought she would choose some expensive delicacies, but it turned out to be such a homely dish.
"Okay, Xiaowu, didn't you and Ata make an appointment with Zhuqing to go shopping today? She might be waiting for you at the door, why don't you go out?"
Hearing Gu You's words, Xiaowu hurriedly stood up, grabbed Lanta's hand and walked out the door. "We will be back soon, remember to leave the door open."
Looking at the two hurried figures blocked by the automatically closed door, Gu You smiled and shook his head as if he was laughing at them for not being punctual.
He sat with Meng Yiran for a while, drank the black tea in one gulp, looked at Tang San, and stood up at the same time.
"Sister Yiran, the two of us have something to do, so we will go back to the room first."
Meng Yiran nodded, "Well, you guys go and get busy. Remember to rest early."
After the two left, Meng Yiran did not leave with everyone else. In the empty restaurant, she sat in the main seat and slowly drank the still warm black tea, enjoying the leisurely after-meal time.
I don't know how long it took, Meng Yiran suddenly said: "Guest, would you like some black tea?"
The empty restaurant, no sound. Meng Yiran picked up an unused teacup, poured a full cup of black tea, and pushed it forward.
The black tea went straight forward, crossed the long dining table under the effect of soul power, and finally stopped in front of the second main seat.
A hand like a dead branch appeared out of thin air, holding up the teacup, and then an old man with a gloomy temperament appeared in the second main seat, sipping a sip of black tea.
"Not bad."
Putting down the teacup, the old man's face showed a smile that was enough to scare a three-year-old child.
"When did you find out?"
Sorry, I have to go out early in the morning for my grandfather's birthday, and I won't be home until 9:30 in the evening. Please recommend and monthly votes~~~
