Chapter 1441 - 923: Unworthy (③_3)

Du Yu: "..."

Little Fen Yang chuckled softly: "And I’m here too~"

Yang Qingqing slightly raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

Little Fen Yang’s eyes were full of pride: "Du Yu’s eyes are mine!"

Yang Qingqing smiled: "Yes, they are."

Du Yu suddenly said: "I’ll have someone add a Thousand Paper Crane to my shoulder."

Little Fen Yang blinked her large eyes: "Eh?"

Du Yu: "The Thousand Paper Crane is obviously you, and people will naturally think that represents my identity as a Paper Crane Disciple."

"Hmm." Little Fen Yang’s heart was filled with joy, and her small hands held her cheeks.

Du Yu asked softly: "How about it?"

Little Fen Yang was ecstatic, nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes!"

Yang Qingqing was also satisfied with her disciple’s decision, saying: "Later, tell Li Jing to go communicate about it."

"Du Yu." Li Mengnan arrived riding Lu Fei, her face surprised as she pointed downwards, "Look there! Is that guy Old Demon Gong?"

"Oh?" Du Yu’s heart was stunned, and he looked down.

In Central Park, a familiar figure was indeed standing there.

Yang Qingqing was a bit surprised as well. She gently patted the deer’s back, and Bai Yujing understood, slowly descending.

In the vast park, a cold stern man with scars was looking up at a few Dust Spirit Immortal Deer falling down.

"Instructor Gong?" Du Yu called out.

The tall man looked up at Du Yu, his heart full of emotions, momentarily not knowing what to say.

Yang Qingqing looked at her former colleague: "Instructor Gong, it’s been a while."

Gong Cheng looked behind Du Yu at the stunning woman, unsure of how to address her.

Like before, calling her Xiaoyang?

It seemed inappropriate.

Or like others, calling her Master Qing?

Or perhaps...

"Divine General Yang, it’s been a while." Finally, Gong Cheng chose a respectful title, using the name bestowed upon the woman by Great Xia.

Yang Qingqing hesitated for a moment but accepted the title.

"Old Demon Gong... uh, hello Instructor Gong." The name that slipped out made Li Mengnan’s face turn bright red.

"Haha." Gong Cheng laughed heartily, his usual sinister and cold demeanor replaced by an unprecedented bright laugh.

Li Mengnan, however, felt flustered inside.

Even though she could now crush Gong Cheng with one hand,

the problem was, during the novice training camp, Old Demon Gong had left a deep psychological shadow on the students!

Li Mengnan, being one of the students, was naturally not exempt.

She hastily rode her deer to the side, seemingly to hide behind Lin Shiwei.

Soon, Gong Cheng’s smile gradually faded.

Anyone seeing Lin Shiwei would find it hard to remain composed.

Of course, Lin Shiwei didn’t harbor any hostility towards Gong Cheng, nor did she deliberately release pressure.

But when Gong Cheng met eyes with the girl, he felt his temples pounding, his body involuntarily tensing up.

Gong Cheng knew he was meeting a kindred spirit.

Moreover, she was a far more fierce and domineering figure than he!

Lin Shiwei understood her own situation and didn’t want to embarrass her fellow teacher.

She turned and looked up at Du Yu’s statue.

This mighty and upright statue, she couldn’t get enough of looking at it.

Du Yu dismounted the deer, saying: "Why is Instructor Gong here?"

Gong Cheng calmed his mind and spoke: "Demon Spirit Academy is about to reopen, and I’m back with the school leadership to prepare."

Speaking, Gong Cheng raised his head, looking again at the grand statue: "And then, I saw you."

Du Yu felt a bit embarrassed: "Hehe."

Gong Cheng: "These days, many media outlets have come to me through the school."

"Ah?"

Gong Cheng looked up at Du Yu’s statue: "Because I used to be your training camp instructor."

"Oh, I see." Du Yu couldn’t help but be curious, "What did Instructor Gong say?"

"What I said, the media probably won’t write." A hint of a smile appeared on Gong Cheng’s dark and scarred face.

This smile, unlike the previous bright one, returned to its usual sinister and haunting look.

Yang Qingqing remembered Gong Cheng’s evaluation of Du Yu and couldn’t help but laugh: "A treacherous individual?"

Gong Cheng shrugged.

When asked by the media what kind of person Du Yu was, his tactical style in the novice training camp was akin to a viper.

Treachery was a means to survive.

It was also for ultimate victory, to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!

Back then, when Gong Cheng recommended Du Yu as the top of the training camp, his evaluation was just that.

Du Yu chuckled: "I’m doing OK now. Since practicing with the Great Axe, I particularly love facing things head-on!"

Gong Cheng sighed deeply: "Yes, you’ve changed.

Who would’ve thought that the boy who always hid behind Li Mengnan...

would one day hoist the flag of Twin Tree Realm, leading Great Xia from the front."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiwei and Li Mengnan both looked at Gong Cheng.

"Yo~" Du Yu suddenly interjected, "Instructor Gong, pretty good with words, huh?

Next time you do a media interview, make sure to say this bit!"

"Haha!" Gong Cheng laughed again.

Everything felt like yesterday!

Still the familiar taste, still the original boy.

The difference was, back then Du Yu was young and weak, with his mind full only of getting enough to eat.

And now, Du Yu had achieved fame.

Upon seeing him again, he had already become someone who would be remembered in history.

Gong Cheng looked at Du Yu and asked softly: "Have you filled your stomach?"

"What?"

Gong Cheng: "After filling your stomach, you fulfilled those words, right?"

With just one sentence, Old Demon Gong pulled Du Yu back to that rainstorm.

Gong Cheng stared directly into Du Yu’s eyes: "You said you wanted to explore Great Xia’s landscapes and Otherworlds, and see all the stars and clouds in the night sky."

Du Yu interrupted: "Back when we met again at South Suburbs Bottomless, Instructor Gong had already helped me review that."

But Gong Cheng continued: "You also said you wanted a bow to open the Heaven Opening Gate and an arrow to burn everything."

Du Yu paused in silence, continuing: "I want to use the leaves of Kunlun Divine Wood to make a bed, and the Golden Crow Fire Feather as a blanket.

I also want some pets I love, and people I love."

A faint smile appeared on Gong Cheng’s face as he looked at the heroic young man before him.

As this heroic face gradually merged with the stubborn face of the boy in the rain.

Slowly, Gong Cheng remarked: "You’ve fulfilled all the ambitions you once set."

"Almost."

"What’s missing?"

Du Yu replied solemnly: "Golden Crow Fire Feather as a blanket."

One day, I will tear apart the Ashen Cold Tree, and I will retrieve the real body for Little Fen Yang!

On that day, she will no longer be incomplete.

She will reclaim her glory, spread a pair of wings that block out the sun, and transform into the true Fire Attribute Venerable of this world.

"Okay." Little Fen Yang lowered her head, pinching her small fingers, as a layer of mist gradually rose in her eyes.

At that time,

I will spread my fire wings, embracing Du Yu, being Du Yu’s blanket.

...

Five thousand three hundred words.
