Douluo Dalu: Seeing the world

chapter 31

Tang Yin rolled in his bed, trying to sleep his nervousness away. However, after tossing about in bed for a few hours, he still can't sleep. He gives up and went outside to calm himself down. Tang Yin stroll around the inn. He then decided to just sit on the roof. Tang Yin then take out his zither and started to play a tuneless song. "You don't sleep after late at night". "You don't sleep either, Han Ge". "Well, I admit I also have difficulty sleeping after what we did". Tang Yin just sigh and let Lin Han sit beside him. "What do you think about the lessons?" Lin Han asks. "I don't like killing, but if it for protecting my family and friends, I'm willing to do it. But, I'll avoid it if I can". "Hmmph, you're still a little soft, you know". "It's the way I am". "Yeah, it is". The two of them sit together, just feeling the other presence. Without long, Tang Yin fell asleep. In the end, Lin Han is the one who carried him to his bed.

Tang Yin and Lin Han are not only peoples that didn't sleep that night. Tang San and Xiao Wu also accompany each other. Tang San is messaging Xiao Wu's legs, and braiding her hair. "San Ge, aren't you afraid and nauseous when we kill those people," Xiao Wu asks.  "I was. But I know that if we don't kill them, they'll hurt us. Besides, those people are ferocious, and many spirit master has been killed by them before in cold blood. So, it's better to kill them than let them continue hurting more people" Tang San answers. "That makes sense. Thanks, San Ge" Xiao Wu said while looking at her finished braided hair. She also thinks about Tang San's point of view and has to admit it was logical. She feels a lot better after hearing it. 

Meanwhile, Oscar and Ning Rongrong are strolling out on a bridge. They comfortably confide in each other and talk freely about their experiences. "What do you think about the lesson grandmaster give us?" Oscar ask. "I was thinking about it. Grandmaster is right, we have to know how to kill people. My grandpa's sword also told me that this world is treacherous, so it's necessary to have friends to defend you, as a support spirit master. I was called a genius, but my experience here told me that I still have to work harder ". "Yeah, me too. I am also frustrated seeing our friends always have to defend themselves. But, because of starting using weapons. I realized that our support class can equally fight and support each other. Now, we can be called a true support class" Oscar said with a smile.

The only ones left in the room were Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun. However, the atmosphere between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing was tense. They were staring at each other, but they weren't talking to each other. "Dai Dage, I'll just go outside then" Ma Hongjun exclaimed quickly, uncomfortable with the tension around the room. With Ma Hongjun gone, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are the only ones left. "So, I think we all can't sleep, huh?" Dai Mubai asks awkwardly. "It seems so" Zhu Zhuqing replied coldly. "Look, Zhuqing. Whatever little matters we have back then, you have to move forward. It's not like I want it to happen either". "Little matter. You left me, and run away. I have to chase you to Shrek Academy just to find you" Zhu Zhuqing shouts. The silence comeback. "I'm sorry. I've lost countless times. I can't face you anymore. I thought it would be best if you stayed away," Dai Mubai says with a regretful tone. "Well, it's not. From now on, don't run away anymore. We're going to face your brother and my sister sooner or later". "You're right, I won't. So how about we try to move on now". "Try," Zhu Zhuqing said after a period of silence.

Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun was lounging around the inn. Suddenly, a voice was heard, startling him. "Not sleeping". Ma Hongjun looks back and sees Flander walking up to him. "Hmph, after what happens today, how can I sleep. I don't have any companion anyway" Ma Hongjun grumbled. "Oh, must be hard being the third will all the time. I know the feeling. I have been one". "I don't believe you teacher. You're not the type of person who wants to love and settle down". "You little brat, dare to doubt your teacher. I must tell you that I was used to being Grandmaster and that Erlong third wheel". "So Headmaster Flander used to being the third wheel? Wow, that's new" Ma Hongjun said in fake wonder. Flander huffed and knocked his head. "Teacher, it hurt you know" Ma Hongjun complained, rubbing his head. "Alright, go to sleep. I'm sure someday you can find the right person. If you can't, at least you still have us" Flander ordered.
