Chapter 175 Su Chen's Past
Gu Yuena's heart skipped a beat.
Her face was extremely calm, so calm that no one could tell what was going on.
But a ripple of emotion had already stirred within me.
His eyes were fixed on the silence, listening intently to every word and sentence he was about to say.
"Cough cough..."
"You... how do you know him..." Tianmeng was shocked and raised her face, which was still covered in noodles, about to ask about Su Chen.
"Hmm!"
Before he could even speak, Gu Yuena pressed his hand into the bowl in front of him.
"Don't talk while eating."
The sudden noise startled Silent.
"Uh, haha, that's our dining etiquette." Noticing the surprise on Shizune's face, Gu Yuena explained with an awkward smile.
"Let's finish eating first, the noodles are getting cold," Gu Yuena quickly changed the subject.
However, he still cared a lot about Su Chen, the person Jingyin mentioned.
"That's right, you can't be distracted while eating." Jingyin agreed with the custom in Gu Yuena's hometown.
However, she did not continue to talk about Su Chen after that.
Gu Yuena regretted it for a moment, not knowing how to ask her about Su Chen.
……
After finishing our ramen, the sun was almost setting, painting the edge of the clouds a deep red.
Shizune was about to take Gu Yuena to a guest room when she involuntarily slowed down as she passed a rock formation inscribed with the names of the Hokage leaders of past generations.
Her eyes reflected the young face in the Hokage Rock...
Gu Yuena also noticed Shizune's gaze and looked towards the Hokage Rock.
He saw a familiar face.
Gu Yuena was all too familiar with that handsome face.
The statue in front of Tsunade was clearly engraved with Su Chen's face!
"Jingyin...who exactly is this Su Chen you just mentioned...?" Gu Yuena asked cautiously.
Gu Yuena's heart skipped a beat as she focused intently on every word Jingyin was about to say.
She knew that she was about to uncover Su Chen's deepest secret.
What kind of person is he?
What was it like before you came to Douluo Continent?
And this vibrant world, is it just a figment of his imagination, or has he really come here?
But just then, they saw the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, who was about to scream.
Tianmeng's heart was in her throat.
Gu Yuena reacted instantly, stomping it into the ground and silencing it.
The moment it entered the ground, a hint of surprise could be clearly seen flashing in the eyes of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, but it was immediately covered by the deep soil, leaving only a slight tremor.
Jingyin was quite startled by the sudden commotion, her gaze darting back and forth between Gu Yuena and the slightly raised ground.
Facing the strange look in silence, Gu Yuena forced a smile and said:
"Uh, well... this is also a tradition where we live."
"These peculiar ninja beasts prefer to live underground; they only feel comfortable underground."
Customs vary from place to place, and Jingyin didn't say anything more.
After all, there are many strange and wonderful things in the ninja world, and she has seen many of them. Shizune did not take this matter to heart.
Looking at the silent figure before her, Gu Yuena first asked some trivial questions, then secretly gathered her thoughts and casually asked:
"Then, that Su Chen."
"Who exactly is he?"
Silent fell silent, pondering for a moment.
"That sir is the strongest ninja in our Konoha Village, the most outstanding genius in the history of our village..." Shizune said, her eyes full of admiration and her smile revealing pride.
"He is proficient in medicine, ninjutsu, genjutsu, sealing techniques, and eye techniques."
"He was known as the Silver Flash on the battlefield. It can be said that he almost single-handedly quelled the Second Shinobi War and then ended the Third Shinobi War. His achievements are comparable to those of the First Shinobi, who was the God of Shinobi."
"He is a person whose strength and achievements surpass all the strong people of the past, but he refused to serve as Hokage."
"Moreover, he is very gentle and takes good care of Naruto's children who have lost their parents. Everyone likes such a great hero."
"After he left, we engraved his name among the Hokage of each generation."
"Even though he wasn't the Hokage, in our hearts he has always been a great hero comparable to the Hokage of all time, a great figure worthy of admiration just like the Hokage."
"Moreover, he is a very cautious person..."
"Furthermore, he never coveted power, was not fond of wine or women, and had no entertainment in his life. For decades, he was only interested in research and science."
"But he's not like Orochimaru..."
It seems that once Su Chen is mentioned, she can talk endlessly.
"Is that so..." Gu Yuena muttered to herself.
He does seem to be that kind of person—strong and gentle, yet as rigid as a block of wood, focused on certain things.
He is extremely strict with himself, and he is even more focused and fanatical about destroying the realm of gods...
It's unclear what those deities did to him; what deep-seated, untold hatred could possibly exist between them...?
Since Gu Yuena started following Su Chen, she had never seen him relax even for a moment.
As she spoke, Jingyin's eyes welled up with tears.
"If only he were still here."
"The villagers wouldn't be so xenophobic. If he were still here, everything would be going in a better direction."
Her voice trembled slightly.
"Actually, I've always believed... that this guy is still alive..."
"The day before he disappeared, he was eating ramen with everyone at a noodle shop..."
"oh oh!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena perked up immediately, and even the single hair on her head stood up.
The large silkworm next to it stood up straight, looking excited.
"Quick... tell us more! What did he do before?"
"Please don't stop halfway through your story, I beg you."
Tianmeng was extremely excited and asked loudly, her voice cracking from shouting.
Before he could press her further, Gu Yuena stomped him into the ground once again.
"Never mind that guy. By the way, what happened to Su Chen the day before yesterday?" Gu Yuena asked calmly, but her heart was in turmoil.
Tianmeng wanted to cry; finally, there was hope of going home!
It's outrageous! I'm a complete stranger in this world, and I'm playing the role of this girl's pet every day, yet I always get bullied by her.
Everyone is so full of resentment. Every time he recalls how warm it was in Su Chen's mental space, he feels how much pain he is in the ninja world now.
Gu Yuena was also very concerned about what happened the day before Su Chen went to Douluo Continent.
Methods to overcome global barriers.
This is something even the Dragon God has never been able to do!
