Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 170 No. 1

Lu Yunshi scratched his head, pondering for a moment. "It means...it means..."

"Don't you know either? But some people say you're very popular with women, so you should know a lot about them. Not just Lu Yunxi, but also that woman named... Li Hongying, um... and me, and Long Lingling." Seeing that Lu Yunshi hadn't said anything for a while, Shuang asked in confusion.

"What...what does this have to do with you and Lingling?"

Lu Yunshi could understand the rumors about Lu Yunxi and Li Hongying, but he couldn't understand why Shuang included him and Long Lingling in the mix.

"That means you have a lot of women around you."

Lu Yunshi's lips twitched slightly. Looking at Shuang's serious expression, he was speechless for a moment. He raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Stop, let's talk about love first. Let's put aside my luck with women for now."

"Hmm?" Shuang nodded slightly, preparing to listen carefully.

"Regarding the answer you want to know, I have to be honest, I don't know. After all, I've never fallen in love with anyone. But from an outsider's perspective, whether it's love or friendship, they're actually the same thing. Compared to so-called love, what's really powerful is love. Love is just one kind of love."

"So-called love is just that, compared to friendship, it is easier for people to experience the feeling of the word 'love'."

"In my opinion, love is indeed the most powerful of all emotions, but the feeling it brings to everyone is not the same."

"For some people, love is a burden, but they are willing to carry it forward, and eventually they may reach their destination or fall down laughing together along the way."

"For some people, love is a mountain, but they are willing to climb it together, either to reach the highest peak and have a panoramic view, or to stop halfway and spend the rest of their lives in peace."

"Do you think there's anything in common about what I'm saying?" Lu Yunshi suddenly asked.

“Hmm…” Shuang pondered for a moment, then replied. “They’re all…together? But according to what you said, love doesn’t necessarily guarantee they’ll reach their highest point or destination?”

"But the greatest power of love is the power of being together. It means being able to advance together for each other, and it also means being able to retreat together for each other."

"It's too blurry, can you be more accurate?" Shuang tilted her head, not easily dismissed by Lu Yunshi.

"It's impossible to be accurate," Lu Yunshi replied directly. "If you can't experience it firsthand, how can you know what love truly means to you?"

Lu Yunshi paused after speaking, glanced at Shuang, and said, "Of course, I don't recommend that fools possess this power derived from love."

"Why?" Shuang asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Because fools who possess love only bring unhappiness.” Lu Yunshi shrugged. “That’s how it’s written in novels.”

After saying that, Lu Yunshi continued, "At the same time, with so many unresolved issues in the world, I don't recommend that you focus on studying the word 'love'."

"Why?" Shuang asked.

“This word is too vast, so vast that it would take a lifetime to prove and verify. Even if it grants you great power, once you get caught up in it, it might not be a good outcome. You might be trapped and die in the fog. And you… for some reason, my intuition tells me that if someone like you gets caught up in it, it will be even harder for you to escape than for ordinary people. As a friend… of course I would advise you not to get involved,” Lu Yunshi replied.

Shuang paused for a moment, then said, “For the Holy Race, other knowledge is something they disdain to understand because of their own strength and arrogance. But once they see it, their brains can analyze it. Only emotions... the Holy Race seems to have naturally weak emotions.”

"More often than not, only when they are defeated do the Holy Race people experience emotional fluctuations; otherwise, they remain completely unmoved."

"In many people's eyes, the Holy Race is perfect, but perfection... is not necessarily complete. I want to see what a complete Holy Race would be like."

"Why pursue completeness?" Lu Yunshi asked curiously.

“Because…it’s necessary.” Shuang hesitated for a moment before answering, then looked up at Lu Yun, a slight smile playing on her lips. “Thank you for telling me all this today.”

Shuang's smile was very stiff, like it was her first time smiling, but it didn't feel fake at all; on the contrary, it felt very real.

“We are friends,” Lu Yunshi said with a smile.

"By the way, regarding the friendship you gave me, I think I've come to understand its special qualities. Just as you said, although Lingling couldn't answer my questions, she gave me many... different feelings in other ways. As for your current suggestion, I think I'll refuse, so I'm sorry," Shuang said sincerely.

"Uh, it's okay, it's your choice, isn't it?" Lu Yunshi said indifferently.

"Hmm." Shuang nodded, then turned around and, before Lu Yunshi could react, said, "I admit defeat."

"Huh?" Lu Yunshi was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, the referee in the sky couldn't help but speak up.

"Wait, Shuang, you're admitting defeat? Are you sure?"

The referee's voice reached almost everyone's ears. The students, who had been waiting for a long time but hadn't seen the intense battle, all looked up, their faces ashen as if they had eaten a pile of excrement.

Here we go again! Here we go again!

"Is that guy some kind of demon? Did he use some kind of sorcery to lure that fairy into surrendering?"

"Hey, watch your mouth. What do you mean by 'demonic magic'? Are you using the word 'demon' in a derogatory way to refer to us demons?"

"As expected of Lu Yunshi, I predicted this long ago. I didn't expect that even in the finals, someone would be subdued by his heroic figure. I think Shuang must have been intimidated because she realized the terrifying power hidden within Lu Yunshi."

"No, I think she was after Lu Yunshi's body, so she offered up the championship title in hopes of winning his favor."

"Wait, is that the point? Isn't the point that they just chatted and didn't fight, and we're like the Joker?"

"It's alright. After all, it's Lu Yunshi. This isn't the first time. Hmm... I'm used to it."

"That's right. More than that, I want to know what kind of relationship Shuang and Lu Yunshi have, and why they surrendered so suddenly. It's not simple, it must be something else."

"Hey, you're right, I'd like to know too."

No matter what the audience said, it was meaningless to Shuang. As if she felt that the judge had not heard her clearly, she raised her head and repeated herself.

"I surrender."

"Why...why?"

Logically, whether someone admits defeat or not has nothing to do with me, but the referee couldn't help but ask the question.

"Because I had to go back and think about things, I didn't have time to play, and he was my friend, and I didn't want him to admit defeat, so I gave up."

Shuang gave a serious answer, then ignored everyone and left with a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, the referee was helpless. He landed next to Lu Yunshi, unsure of what expression to use to face the first place winner.

"Teacher, please don't look at me like that. I'm shy too, and besides... who would have thought this would happen?"

Lu Yunshi shrugged. How could he have known that Shuang would deprive him of his right to admit defeat? Wasn't that going against the Heavenly Gang?

Honestly, I came to the finals with the mindset of giving up as soon as possible, but I couldn't give up in the end. I'm a little disappointed.
