Douluo: The Dragon King - I Planted the Divine Tree in Douluo

Page 50

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's infatuated expression, Su Mo didn't hold back his praise.

"really?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's evaluation, Xu Xiaoyan widened her light blue eyes and excitedly confirmed it.

Actually, she was very nervous when working with Tang Wulin, afraid that she would embarrass herself in front of Su Mo.

Now that he has gained Su Mo's approval, his tense nerves have finally relaxed.

"Of course."

Su Mo nodded seriously, her tone full of affirmation.

The fact that even Wu Changkong acknowledged Xu Xiaoyan's performance shows just how well she did.

"Hehe~"

Xu Xiaoyan was overjoyed by Su Mo's praise. Her eyes narrowed into slits with happiness, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She looked like a kitten being gently stroked by its owner, completely satisfied.

"Xu Xiaoyan, why did you suddenly decide to transfer to our college?"

Su Mo pretended to be unaware and asked Xu Xiaoyan about the reason for transferring schools.

Su Mo actually knew something about Xu Xiaoyan's background.

Xu Xiaoyan is the most beloved little princess of the Xu family in Donghai. Because her family couldn't bear to let her suffer, they didn't let her follow the path of a Soul Master and instead sent her to a regular school.

Under such circumstances, Xu Xiaoyan's ability to cultivate to level seventeen at the age of ten can be considered a true prodigy.

Xu Xiaoyan transferred to Class Zero this time, seemingly because her martial soul had mutated and she was no longer suitable to stay in a regular academy.

As for the Xu family of Donghai behind Xu Xiaoyan.

It is a behemoth that has been entrenched in Donghai City for nearly a thousand years, and its influence has permeated almost every corner of Donghai City. It has a huge influence in both the political and business circles of Donghai City.

In Donghai City, whether it's the mayor or a councilor, anyone who wants to rise to power must obtain the support of the Xu family.

However, the only thing that makes people curious about the Xu family is that, despite their immense power, they have not expanded their influence outside the region. Instead, they have been honestly and dutifully guarding their small territory in Donghai City.

This is clearly not right for a family that has a history of thousands of years and a large and prosperous population.

No matter how conservative a family may be, it would never be like the Xu family, which has absolutely no intention of expansion.

Throughout the past thousand years, the Xu family has had countless opportunities to expand, but they have remained obediently in Donghai City as if they had been given a death order. This makes it hard not to suspect that the Xu family is plotting something.

However, none of this concerns me; it's a matter for the Sun and Moon Federation to worry about.

If the Xu family can indeed have some impact on the Sun and Moon Federation in the future, it will be a help to themselves in a way.

"This..."

When Su Mo asked why she transferred schools, Xu Xiaoyan smiled shyly, "I used to study at a regular academy, but recently my martial soul seems to have developed a star wheel phenomenon that is extremely rare in my family, so my family transferred me here."

"The Star Wheel Phenomenon!!!"

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan say that her martial soul had awakened the Star Wheel phenomenon, Su Mo was suddenly stunned.

If I remember correctly, the name "Star Wheel Phenomenon" was first spread by a reclusive sect called the Star Crown Sect.

The Star Crown Sect is a reclusive sect that emerged ten thousand years ago to fight against the invasion of the Sun Moon Empire. Its relationship with the Star Luo Royal Family, the Dai family, is so close that they can even take turns sitting on the throne.

Even the Zhu family, who are sworn brothers with the Dai family, would have to admit their inferiority in this respect.

And most importantly, the group from the Star Crown Sect, like Xu Xiaoyan in front of them, also share the surname Xu.

"Is that so? I see!"

Su Mo suddenly understood why the Xu family was unwilling to expand and instead stubbornly guarded Donghai City.

Although the Sun Moon Empire unified the entire Douluo Continent, the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire did not perish as a result. Instead, they fled to two other continents and re-established their countries.

Although they have left Douluo Continent, neither the Star Luo Empire nor the Dou Ling Empire has ever given up the idea of ​​returning to their homeland.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sun and Moon Federation was far stronger than the two of them, they might have already sounded the horn of counterattack.

The Xu family of Donghai were most likely sent by the Star Luo Empire, hoping that one day, after becoming powerful, they could cooperate with the Xu family from within and without.

"Su Mo?"

Seeing Su Mo suddenly lost in thought, Xu Xiaoyan asked him with some concern.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some things."

Faced with Xu Xiaoyan's obvious concern, Su Mo casually gave a perfunctory reply.

"Yeah……"

Seeing that Su Mo didn't want to talk about it, Xu Xiaoyan sniffed and didn't ask any further questions.

Don't let her seemingly harmless appearance fool you; she's actually quite perceptive.

So even though she knew Su Mo was hiding something from her, she still pretended to be unaware.

"Su Mo, would you like to go have lunch together?"

Seeing that it was almost noon, Xu Xiaoyan blinked and cautiously extended an invitation to Su Mo.

"can!"

Su Mo nodded, not rejecting Xu Xiaoyan's suggestion.

"Great!"

Seeing that Su Mo had accepted her invitation, Xu Xiaoyan jumped for joy.

Xu Xiaoyan's excited appearance immediately attracted Xie Xie's attention.

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan following Su Mo around like a little shadow, Xie Xie immediately felt like teasing her and quickly raised his hand, saying, "I want to go too!"

Upon hearing that Xie Xie was going to ruin her time alone with Su Mo, Xu Xiaoyan's face darkened and she glared at Xie Xie with resentment.

Facing Xu Xiaoyan's resentful gaze, Xie Xie pretended not to see it and looked directly at Su Mo, saying with a grin, "Su Mo, can I have dinner with you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan immediately looked at Su Mo nervously, her anxious expression practically screaming "Don't agree to him!"

Unfortunately, Xu Xiaoyan's idea was destined to fail, and Su Mo would not let go of this opportunity to build a good relationship with Tang Wulin and the others.

Su Mo nodded and agreed to Xie Xie's request.

"Great!"

Seeing that Su Mo had agreed to his request, Xie Xie immediately gave Xu Xiaoyan a provocative look.

Seeing Xie Xie's smug expression, Xu Xiaoyan stomped her foot in anger and glared at him fiercely.

Xie Xie wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he started whistling as if no one else was around.

His smug look almost made Xu Xiaoyan want to punch him.

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan looking like she wanted to devour Xie Xie, Su Mo stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, if we're going to eat, let's hurry up!"

"If you come any later, there won't be any seats left!"

"Uh-huh!"

As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, Xu Xiaoyan immediately nodded.

As she passed Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan whispered a warning in a voice only she and Xie Xie could hear, "You damn monkey, you just wait!"

"!!!"

Hearing the nickname Xu Xiaoyan gave him, Xie Xie's face flashed with surprise, and then he retorted without hesitation, "Ice Staff Girl!"

"you……"

Upon hearing that Xie Xie had given her such a nickname, Xu Xiaoyan would have fought Xie Xie to the death if Su Mo hadn't been there.

Are you two going together?

Ignoring Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie, who were about to fight, Su Mo turned to look at Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, who were sitting separately.

Chapter 63 Springtime Affection: Tang Wulin

Faced with Su Mo's invitation, Tang Wulin, the number one foodie at Donghai Academy, readily agreed.

Gu Yue frowned slightly, looked Su Mo up and down as if to confirm something, and finally nodded gently in agreement.

After everyone agreed, Su Mo led a large group of people toward the cafeteria of Donghai Academy.

However, when Su Mo and his classmates arrived at the cafeteria, it was right at the peak time when other classes were ending.

The huge restaurant was bustling with noise, the air filled with the aroma of food and noisy laughter, so lively it almost seemed to lift the roof off.

Perhaps because the small restaurants near the school hadn't opened yet on the first day of school, the restaurant was packed with people.

Looking around, the long tables and corners were all full of people, and even the seats near the windows were all taken.

Let alone a group of people sitting together to eat, it is extremely difficult to even find a seat by oneself.

This crowded scene was something that even Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue, three regulars at the cafeteria, had never encountered before.

"Junior, over here, over here!!!"

As Su Mo and his group were looking around in the crowd searching for a spot, a clear and excited female voice suddenly came from the second floor.

Su Mo looked up and saw Mu Xi.

At this moment, Mu Xi leaned out, waving her hands frantically at Su Mo with a bright smile, as if afraid that Su Mo would not see her.

Mu Xi never expected to run into Su Mo at school on the first day of school. She had originally planned to go to Su Mo's house to find him after school.

Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Mu Xi, Su Mo led Tang Wulin and the others upstairs without hesitation.

"Good afternoon, senior sister and senior sister Ouyang!"

From a distance, Tang Wulin greeted Mu Xi and the purple-haired girl sitting opposite her.

"Junior brother, it's been a long time!"

Upon seeing Tang Wulin, Mu Xi responded enthusiastically.

Although she and Tang Wulin had had unpleasant conflicts in the past, their relationship had improved considerably since Tang Wulin was taken in as a disciple by his father.

"Junior, aren't you afraid of gaining weight from eating so much?"

Seeing Tang Wulin carrying a huge pile of food on both large and small plates, the purple-haired girl teased him with a smile.
