Chapter 128 You will never be a burden

"Choose her."

Without any hesitation, Gu Yi said this answer almost subconsciously.

In Gu Yi's heart, Zhu Zhuqing will always be the irreplaceable person. Apart from Gu Rong, the only person who can influence Gu Yi's choice may be her.

"..."

Hu Liena was a little stunned. She really didn't expect Gu Yi's answer to be so straightforward.

"Yeah?"

"That's really a pity."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on her lips, and then she withdrew her hand that was pressing Gu Yi.

"how?"

"Am I going to get a lot of benefits if I choose you?"

Gu Yi also smiled and joked.

"snort!"

"If I don't tell you, you didn't choose me anyway."

"Okay, let's send you here."

"I will walk the rest of the way myself."

"Then, I still hope to see you in the qualifiers tomorrow."

"goodbye."

After saying that, Hu Liena turned around and left quickly.

Gu Yi looked at her back and didn't answer. After sighing, he turned and walked towards the dormitory.

But the moment he turned around, two glistening tears floated into the air on Hu Liena's face.

She looked up at the night sky full of stars and couldn't help but sigh:

"The night wind is really strong tonight."

…

In the college dormitory, Zhu Zhuqing was sitting patiently on the sofa, quietly waiting for Gu Yi's return.

He didn't know why, even though he hadn't seen her for a day, Zhu Zhuqing felt as if he hadn't seen Gu Yi for a long time.

Creak~

Suddenly, the dormitory door was opened, and Gu Yi walked in quickly.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhu Zhuqing waiting for him on the sofa.

"Zhuqing, what have you been doing today?"

"I can't seem to see you. Are you so busy today?"

Gu Yi quickly sat next to Zhu Zhuqing and asked curiously.

"I went shopping with Xiao Wu for a while, watched the game for a while, and then came back."

"It's you, I came back around the afternoon, but you didn't show up until now."

"I didn't even leave a letter telling you what you were doing."

"Luckily, I brought you a lot of delicious food."

As if complaining about Gu Yi, Zhu Zhuqing said angrily.

"Yeah?"

"We have similar ideas. I have prepared a lot of delicious food for you today."

"It's a pity that you're not here either."

"I was also practicing in the morning. It seems like we haven't spent much time together today."

Gu Yi always had a smile on his face, as if he didn't hear the anger in Zhu Zhuqing's words.

"snort!"

"It's not like someone suddenly went to Soul Saint, and I had to keep chasing him."

"If you don't practice, you will become a titled Douluo."

Zhu Zhuqing really didn't want to hide behind Gu Yi forever. She also wanted to fight with Gu Yi.

But either she couldn't get involved, or she didn't need to do it at all.

She hates this feeling, so she has been wanting to practice recently.

"Isn't this just to protect you better?"

"In this world, strength will ultimately speak for itself."

"If I could be strong enough, I wouldn't have to be restrained now."

If Gu Yi was strong enough, the current Qibao Glazed Sect would no longer have Ning Rongrong.

If Gu Yi was strong enough, he could build whatever Bibi Dong wanted, and he wouldn't even bother to care.

Living in troubled times, staying alone is what Gu Yi wants to do.

"Of course I know this, but I want to catch up with you. This is also my idea."

"We are still very young now, and we still have a lot of time. We can be together for a long time in the future. Now, I just want to catch up with you quickly."

"It's enough not to be a burden to you, not to drag you down."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what Gu Yi was thinking, but her idea was very simple.

As long as I can help Gu Yi at critical moments, that's enough.

"You're not a burden, never have been."

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be the 'genius' I am now."

Gu Yi hugged Zhu Zhuqing, gently stroked her head and said softly.

If he hadn't met Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning and received so many system rewards, he would probably still be playing in the mud at Shrek Academy.

"Yeah?"

"Then you have to thank me properly."

Zhu Zhuqing chuckled.

She only thought that it was she who gave Gu Yi the motivation that made him become so good.

"grateful?"

"No problem, I'll thank you right now."

With that said, Gu Yi showed a bad smile, picked up Zhu Zhuqing and walked towards the bedroom.

"Um!"

Zhu Zhuqing naturally understood what he meant instantly, and his face immediately turned red.

"I...I didn't mean that..."

…

The next morning, Gu Yi got up early after fighting all night.

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, and couldn't help but smile.

The battle last night seemed a little too intense.

"Let's go to the qualifiers today and have a look."

Originally, Gu Yi didn't plan to go, but he looked at the system panel and saw the favorability reward prompt that increased yesterday.

After pondering for a while, he decided to go take a look. Anyway, he had already reached Soul Saint. If he wanted to improve through cultivation, it would still take too much time.

It's better to go take a look at today's qualifiers and see if you can gain anything.

After Gu Yi left a note in the living room, he went out carefully, for fear of disturbing Zhu Zhuqing who was resting.

Soon, Gu Yi arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena where the preliminaries were held.

As soon as I arrived at the place, I still had the same feeling. The entrance was still full of people. It was noisy and extremely crowded at the same time.

But Gu Yi had already expected this. Before coming today, he specially brought Gu Rong's elder order. He went directly to the VIP channel without taking any risks.

Gu Yi didn't want to repeat yesterday's own mistake.

"Is it Beast Academy vs. Tianshui Academy this morning? There are also Blazing Academy and Kamikaze..."

"Forget it, there's no need to watch the second scene, there's nothing interesting to watch."

While complaining, Gu Yi walked towards the auditorium.

But before he could take a few steps, he suddenly found two figures in front of him that looked very familiar, as if he had seen them before somewhere.

They were two old men in their sixties, leading a graceful girl, walking in front of Gu Yi.

Among them, the figure of the girl and the other stooped old woman looked more and more familiar to him, but he just couldn't remember them.

But just as he was staring at the two of them in thought, the other party also noticed his gaze and quickly looked back.

It was a good thing not to look back. When he turned around, Gu Yi instantly recognized the people in front of him.

"Snake Po, Meng Yiran, and... Mr. Long?"

Gu Yi looked at the familiar face in front of him and couldn't help calling out his name.

When Snake Po and Meng Yiran saw Gu Yi, their eyes showed a hint of surprise, as if they had seen some rare treasure.

"Gu Yi!"

Before Gu Yi could make any move, Snake Woman walked quickly in front of him, smiling so happily.

"After we said goodbye to the Star Forest, my old lady thought I would never see you again. Unexpectedly, I saw you here."

"It's been such a long time, Gu Yi."

Snake Woman looked at Gu Yi with a smile and said.

"Yes, Granny Snake, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"I almost didn't recognize you just now."

Gu Yi smiled awkwardly and couldn't help but take a step back.

He didn't know why, but he always felt horrified when he saw Snake Woman's smile.

‘She...won’t still want me to be her grandson-in-law, right? ’
