"Why?"
Yan Yue raised her head, her face full of surprise. She didn't expect Gu Yuan to reject her directly.
"What why? I said, no need."
"But... please, I beg you! Resources are secondary. The people from the main lineage will definitely be ruthless in the arena. There will be deaths! They won't give us a chance to surrender!"
"Then just give up. Why do you still want to participate? In the final analysis, you are still thinking about those resources." Gu Yuan said lightly.
He is not a pig who can't walk when he sees a woman. There is no need to take risks. Who knows what might happen.
"I admit that I do want those resources. Resources are also very important to us because without them, we have no chance of turning things around!"
Yan Yue suddenly felt like a deflated balloon, feeling somewhat powerless.
"You know what? Xue'er, Lei Ge, and I were born into a branch lineage. Our ancestors were always suppressed, ridiculed, and looked down upon by the main lineage. We finally have some hope, but we didn't expect that we are just repeating our ancestors' path. We are not you. You have the talent and resources you want, but we don't have them! But what can we do besides accepting reality?"
Yan Yue buried her head in her knees and sobbed softly. She had never felt so desperate. If they chose to escape, what would happen to their parents who were still at home?
All I can do is continue to be laughed at, continue to be looked down upon, and live a miserable life.
"You bastard, what did you do to Yue'er?"
Suddenly, Yan Lei rushed over and grabbed Gu Yuan.
He had been observing the situation here. Although he couldn't hear what the two were talking about, he saw that Yan Yue seemed to be in a bad condition, so he rushed over.
"Let go."
Gu Yuan frowned and said.
"Brother Lei, what are you doing? Let go of Master Gu!"
Yan Yue quickly stood up, wiped her slightly red eyes, and spoke nervously.
"Yue'er, did this guy bully you? Tell Brother Lei, I'll help you teach him a lesson!"
Yan Lei gasped and said, then looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Don't think that you can bully Yue'er just because you saved Uncle Liu, otherwise I will make you pay!"
"I say it again, let go!"
"So what if I don't let go?"
"well……"
With a sigh, Gu Yuan's body shook, and the strength of a seventh-level spiritual disciple suddenly burst out, directly pushing Yan Lei, who was holding him, back several steps.
"With your limited strength, you need to know your own limitations when protecting a beauty."
After flicking the clothes on his chest, Gu Yuan said lightly.
"you!"
After hearing what Gu Yuan said, Yan Lei's face immediately turned red. Being humiliated in front of the person he liked made him want to eat Gu Yuan.
"Xiao Lei, don't be so presumptuous!"
"Uncle Liu! He..."
"shut up!"
Liu Qing's face was stern. He stepped forward to interrupt Yan Lei's words, then looked at Yan Yue and seemed to understand something.
"Mr. Gu, Xiao Lei was impulsive at the moment, please don't blame me."
Liu Qing bowed towards Gu Yuan, full of apology.
He knew that Gu Yuan had no ill intentions, otherwise that move would not have simply repelled Yan Lei.
"It's okay. There are a lot of people who like to stand out these days, but some of them can't see clearly what level they are at."
Gu Yuan waved his hands, not looking angry at all.
Although he didn't understand what Gu Yuan meant by the rank, Liu Qing could barely understand it. It should be a word related to strength.
With a wry smile, Liu Qing said, "Mr. Gu is quite powerful, so don't try to challenge us."
"Okay, go back and sit down. Why are you standing here? Go and rest."
After saying that, Gu Yuan sat down with his back to the group and ignored them.
"Go back, Yue'er."
Liu Qing looked at Yan Yue, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and shook his head.
"You stay."
Suddenly, Gu Yuan opened his mouth and said something.
"Um?"
"I told you to stay. Why? You don't want to?"
"Ah? I'm willing!"
Yan Yue was stunned at first, then showed surprise, nodded hurriedly, and quickly sat down next to Gu Yuan.
Liu Qing pulled Yan Lei, whose face was flushed, out of the area, leaving only Gu Yuan and the other two.
"You...you changed your mind?"
Yan Yue looked at Gu Yuan's somewhat thin face and asked expectantly.
"No." Gu Yuan replied.
"Then...why let me stay?"
"Who is the most powerful among the younger generation of the Yan family?" Gu Yuan asked without opening his eyes.
"It's Yan Xing from the main lineage! He's just twenty years old this year, and he already reached the ninth level of spiritual disciple strength two months ago."
"Twenty years old? Ninth-level spiritual disciple?"
Gu Yuan opened his eyes and said calmly, "The younger generation of your Yan family doesn't look that great either."
"Forehead……"
Yan Yue looked at Gu Yuan speechlessly and said helplessly: "Do you think that only people like you have both talent and resources?"
"That's right." Gu Yuan nodded in agreement.
Yan Yue was even more speechless. This person had no sense of humility at all.
"When is your tournament?"
"Half a month later."
Yan Yue looked at Gu Yuan with a hint of expectation in her eyes. She really hoped that Gu Yuan could help them.
Gu Yuan stood up and looked at Yan Yue who stood up too. A hint of amusement suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then, while Yan Yue was looking at her in astonishment, he suddenly reached out and hugged her slender waist.
"you……"
Being hugged unexpectedly, Yan Yue's face turned red instantly, and then she was ready to push Gu Yuan away.
