Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 201: Qian Daoliu’s Attention, The Silent Couple

Moon Pavilion

Disciples of the Clear Sky Sect secretly came and went, delivering messages to Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao was still not fully recovered from his injuries, just out of danger. Most of his body was wrapped in white bandages.

His strength had also dropped by two or three levels, aftereffects of detonating his spirit rings.

A young disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hu, came to report a task to Tang Xiao.

"...That Mister Dan Heng was unwilling to come to Moon Pavilion. When I tried to force the issue, a Soul Sage appeared..."

Tang Hu explained.

As it turned out, Tang Hu had been sent by Tang Xiao to invite Dan Heng over.

Naturally, he had been rejected by Dan Heng.

"That librarian was so rude! He dared to reject us... Sect Master, if we revealed our true identities, he'd regret it!"

Tang Hu said indignantly.

Tang Xiao frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "No, don't do that, Tang Hu. If he doesn't want to come, then forget it..."

Tang Xiao clearly remembered the ambiguous relationship between Dan Heng and the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

If Dan Heng found out he was at Moon Pavilion, he might even tell Spirit Hall, and they'd come to finish the job.

Tang Hu asked, "Sect Master, is he that important?"

Tang Xiao was silent for a moment before shaking his head. "It's hard to say..."

He sighed. He had wanted to meet Dan Heng mostly to hear the man's opinion.

Where should the Clear Sky Sect go from here?

Were they going to keep hiding in the mountains forever?

That would be a joke!

No soul master from the Clear Sky School would ever forget the catastrophe they had just endured.

At that moment, someone walked in through the door.

Tang Yuehua hurried forward and said, "Big Brother, your body hasn't recovered yet—don't overwork yourself. Leave these matters to me."

Tang Xiao shook his head, "I haven't turned into a cripple..."

Tang Yuehua turned to Tang Hu and asked about the arrangements he had made.

After listening, she said, "I've already looked into this Mr. Dan Heng. He's not simple—he's a real talent. And I discovered he has close ties with Ning Fengzhi... No matter what, we must not make him an enemy."

Tang Xiao sighed again and smiled bitterly, "We don't have the power to make enemies right now, do we?"

"..."

Tang Yuehua looked awkward. After a moment of thought, she said, "I understand what you mean, Big Brother. You want to seek his counsel. I'll handle it. I've just been busy lately..."

"Is it because that lecher Xue Ye has been bothering you?" Tang Xiao asked immediately, his eyes flashing with anger.

Tang Yuehua shook her head. "How could that be? Big Brother, no matter what, Emperor Xue Ye is still a sovereign. How could he be some hoodlum in your eyes?"

"I do think he is!" Tang Xiao said unhappily.

"He thinks I can't see through it? That bastard isn't even pretending anymore! He just wants to swallow the entire Clear Sky Sect whole and make us his private army!"

The more Tang Xiao spoke, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists, seemingly ready to kill Emperor Xue Ye on the spot.

Tang Hu also growled, "Sect Master! I can storm the palace and kill him!"

Tang Yuehua shook her head helplessly and scolded, "Enough! What nonsense are you two spouting? If it weren't for Emperor Xue Ye shielding us, do you think the other soul master factions wouldn't have already acted against us?"

"I'll handle this matter! Neither of you is allowed to mess around!"

She glared at them, and both men immediately lowered their heads in silence.

After saying her piece, Tang Yuehua stood and left. As she turned away from the two, her face revealed her true feelings—bitter and distressed.

Emperor Xue Ye had indeed become increasingly blatant...

He had even started hinting for her to enter the palace and become his imperial consort!

Maybe... she really should go and ask Dan Heng what she and the Clear Sky Sect should do.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

As the sect with the least loss in this calamity among the three upper sects, their Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen had still suffered a terrible fate: both his legs had been broken. Severely wounded, he had lost his Title Douluo-level strength.

Liu Erlong was taking care of him, and Yu Yuanzhen had secretly wept more than once.

"It was my greed! That's what brought this disaster down on our clan! Sigh! The once-mighty Upper Three Sects are now..."

"I wish I could kill the delusional version of myself from back then!"

"Erlong, I am the sinner of our clan. I want to abdicate and pass the position on. Only you are worthy of this responsibility!"

Yu Yuanzhen clutched Liu Erlong's arm, speaking solemnly.

"!!!"

Liu Erlong was instantly overwhelmed.

She had already been reluctant to even serve as a school dean.

Now he wanted her to be the clan leader? That was even more outrageous!

She hurriedly refused, speaking incoherently about how she wasn't suitable.

Yu Yuanzhen smiled bitterly. "Erlong, take a look at our clan—who else is suitable? Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, those two kids, have potential, but they're too young. As for those rotten old men, not a single one can shoulder the responsibility."

"You're our only hope. If you become clan leader and have the full resources of the clan behind you, you have a great chance of becoming a Title Douluo in the future..."

Yu Yuanzhen looked at her hopefully.

Liu Erlong kept refusing—she didn't want to give up her freedom.

Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and added, "I know you stayed away from the clan because of your relationship with Xiaogang. Don't worry. If you become the clan leader, no one will stand in your way anymore. You two can do whatever you like..."

"That's not it!"

This time Liu Erlong was truly panicked. Tying her to that scumbag Yu Xiaogang again? She'd rather die right now!

"Uncle! Please believe me—I've realized how wrong I was in the past! There's no way I'm getting back with him!"

Yu Yuanzhen looked conflicted. Ironically, he now wanted the two of them to get back together.

That way, when Yu Tianheng and his brother grew up, his own bloodline might have a chance to reclaim the clan leadership.

"Erlong... regardless, you must take responsibility now!"

Yu Yuanzhen said sternly.

Liu Erlong frowned miserably. After some thought, she suddenly said, "Right! Uncle, I have an idea!"

"What idea?" Yu Yuanzhen asked, puzzled.

Liu Erlong said, "Uncle, you're worried about the future of our clan, right? Since we can't think of a solution ourselves, let's go find someone truly smart to come up with one for us!"

Yu Yuanzhen froze. He hesitated and asked, "Erlong, you mean Xiaogang, don't you? Even with your help, I still don't trust him..."

Despite what he said, his heart stirred at the idea.

It sounded... reasonable.

Liu Erlong immediately said, "Ugh! Xiaogang?! That idiot doesn't have any real ideas! I mean a real genius! I'll take you to meet him personally—otherwise he'll probably make some excuse..."

"Who is he?"

Yu Yuanzhen asked, unhappy.

Was she dismissing Yu Xiaogang like that?

He used to look down on Xiaogang, but now he suddenly found himself reconsidering...

Liu Erlong told him about Dan Heng and asked Yu Yuanzhen to keep it a secret and not disturb Dan Heng's peaceful life.

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened. He sat up in bed.

"What?! Erlong, did I hear you right? You want me to personally visit a librarian? And be careful not to offend him? He..."

"Uncle! If you won't listen, then forget it. But don't talk about making me the clan leader again!"

Liu Erlong frowned.

Yu Yuanzhen hesitated, brows furrowed. After a moment, he sighed and said:

"Fine, fine. I'll go with you and see what insights this Mister Dan Heng might offer!"

--------------------

The next day.

When Dan Heng arrived at work, he didn't immediately start reading. Instead, he couldn't help but recall Gu Yue Na's behavior from the previous day.

Although she had been as clingy as usual...

As an old married couple, when it came to their intimate life, it was clear that Gu Yue Na had been distracted several times.

Even her favorite moments of taking the lead didn't bring her much joy.

"Could Hu Liena have been right after all?"

Dan Heng thought for a moment and decided to speed up his current project.

At that moment, the sound of approaching footsteps was heard.

Qian Daoliu walked up. He had changed into plain clothing, but due to his exceptionally handsome appearance, he still attracted attention.

Seeing that Dan Heng had noticed him, he nodded slightly. "Mr. Dan Heng..."

"..." Dan Heng looked at him in confusion.

Qian Daoliu got straight to the point. "Mr. Dan Heng, I won't hide it from you. I came to learn from you—how to attain a state of mind like yours."

"If you're willing to teach, that would be ideal. If not, I will observe from the side, but I promise, I won't interfere with you in any way."

Qian Daoliu smiled slightly—this was all strongly requested by Qian Renxue.

Dan Heng shook his head. "State of mind? It's something you have to comprehend and settle on your own, not something you learn by watching me. That's pointless."

Qian Daoliu was instantly delighted. "Could Mr. Dan Heng share a bit more?"

Dan Heng shook his head again. "There's nothing much to say. It's not something you can understand just by hearing about it. If you really want to comprehend it... then go observe the lives of ordinary people—from childhood to adulthood—instead of me."

Qian Daoliu thought about it but didn't quite believe it.

Ignore someone like Dan Heng who has reached a state of inner perfection, and go watch a bunch of ordinary people? Does he think he's an idiot?

There's no way he would do something that foolish!

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Dan Heng, but before that, I still want to learn from you."

After speaking, Qian Daoliu followed through with his words and went to a corner where he could still see Dan Heng, silently observing him.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

"..."

Dan Heng instantly felt like he was being watched.

Although Shui Yue'er had done this before, it wasn't the same as Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu was trying to study him to attain a perfect state of mind, so he was observing very thoroughly—from head to toe.

Unlike Shui Yue'er, who mostly just stared at his face.

Half an hour passed, and then Shui Yue'er and the other two women arrived.

Each of them handed over the "bottles" they had designed to Dan Heng.

Dan Heng gave them a new task: to test the automatic flying function of soul devices—in other words, unmanned flying soul tools.

The three girls happily accepted their tasks and left.

They were always glad to help Dan Heng with his work.

Dan Heng calculated that if everything went well, he could give Gu Yue Na a surprise the night after tomorrow.

At noon, Gu Yue Na came over, and the couple had lunch together as usual.

Qian Daoliu, to his credit, didn't stare at Dan Heng during the meal.

But once Gu Yue Na left and Dan Heng was alone, Qian Daoliu resumed staring wide-eyed in this direction.

As if Dan Heng was some rare treasure.

At the end of the workday, Dan Heng, uncharacteristically, left the library first to go find Gu Yue Na.

Only then did Qian Daoliu step forward to bid farewell to Dan Heng.

"..."

Dan Heng simply shook his head, choosing to ignore him.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the road, Liu Erlong was pushing a wheelchair in Dan Heng's direction, when Yu Yuanzhen suddenly stopped the wheelchair and wouldn't let them proceed.

"Uncle, you've delayed until now—why stop again? Can't you see? Mr. Dan Heng is about to leave!"

Liu Erlong was frustrated. They had arrived at noon, but then ran into Yu Xiaogang. Yu Yuanzhen insisted on chatting with him first.

Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen had a great talk. Later, Yu Yuanzhen even said he wanted Xiaogang to return to the family.

Yu Xiaogang was thrilled, and so they spent more time together.

By the time Liu Erlong couldn't wait anymore and pushed him to hurry, Dan Heng was already finishing work!

Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed drastically, gritting his teeth. "Erlong, the Dan Heng you're talking about... is it him?"

Liu Erlong glanced in Dan Heng's direction and nodded. "Yeah..."

Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth so hard his eyes turned red.

He had just seen Qian Daoliu bidding Dan Heng farewell.

In his entire life, he might forget others, but not Qian Daoliu!

The butcher who destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

When facing them, he was so cold and ruthless, like a god above all, indifferent to mortal life.

But just now, when speaking with Dan Heng, his face had been full of warmth and friendliness!

Just what kind of person was this Dan Heng?

Could he be closely connected to the Spirit Hall?!

But if he were just an ordinary librarian, how could he make that butcher show such a gentle face?

Even a titled Douluo elder couldn't receive that kind of treatment!

"Uncle, your face looks awful!"

Liu Erlong asked in confusion.

Yu Yuanzhen said grimly, "Erlong, do you really understand this Dan Heng? At Blue Tyrant Academy, has he ever..."

"Of course I understand Mr. Dan Heng! He's a peaceful genius, unlike Yu Xiaogang..."

Liu Erlong immediately began enthusiastically recounting Dan Heng's achievements.

Women admire strength, and Dan Heng's talent had completely won Liu Erlong over.

The more Yu Yuanzhen listened, the worse he felt.

He shook his head. "Erlong, Xiaogang already has a plan. We don't need any of Dan Heng's guidance..."

"But..."

Liu Erlong hesitated.

Yu Yuanzhen said sternly, "We're leaving! Don't get involved with him!"

For someone to be treated like that by Qian Daoliu, Dan Heng was definitely not simple!

If he tried to seek advice from him, he might end up being sold out!

...

Elsewhere, Dan Heng and Gu Yue Na were walking home together. The two were uncharacteristically quiet.

One was thinking about how to prepare a surprise and what excuse to use.

The other kept stealing glances, her gaze wandering, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as they passed a small shop, a sudden burst of cheers erupted from inside.

It turned out that a group of people had gathered around a young couple— the young man was proposing to the woman, and after she said yes, everyone erupted into celebration.

Dan Heng and Gu Yue Na stood at the door for a while to watch the commotion.

When the sky began to darken, they hurried home.
