Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 34 Dragons have scales; touch them and you will die.

Qiu He noticed that the three boys beside him must be the three Tian Yaochen had mentioned. Qiu Shanshan and the others were also looking at combat technique books, but they had only read the second one so far.

Qiu Shanshan looked up and saw that it was Qiu He. She was initially a little confused, but then she smiled gently and said, "Hello, Le Yi, welcome to our team. How can I help you?"

The three boys next to him looked up when they heard the name Le Yi. They knew that Le Yi was a member of the Gentle Light Realm team, and also the child who lost to their captain in the first match.

Qiuhe then noticed that one of the three boys was very strange. His eyes were wide like an owl's, staring at him, and his face was covered in bulging veins. His gaze was as if he were looking at a murderer of his father.

Qiu He ignored the strange look the boy was giving him and slowly looked at Qiu Shanshan. "Qiu Shanshan, or should I call you Qiu Chunqing?" Qiu Shanshan was also puzzled, not knowing what he meant.

"Why do you use two different names?" Qiu Shanshan understood immediately; Qiu He was asking about this. She replied, "Oh, that's what my mother gave me."

"My mother did indeed name me Qiu Chunqing at first, but about two weeks ago, when she mentioned that we would have a one-on-one competition, she told me that my first opponent would be me, and she also suggested that I use the name Qiu Shanshan."

"Although I don't know why, I didn't ask further. I know that Mother must have her reasons for saying that, and I just need to listen to her."

Qiuhe was completely bewildered by this reply. Why change his name all of a sudden? What was the purpose? Qiuhe had no idea what the point of doing this was.

At this moment, the boy next to him, whose eyes were wide like an owl's, spoke up: "Hey, haven't you asked enough? Ever since you joined our team, you've been asking all sorts of weird questions. What do you want?"

"If you don't have anything important to say, get lost. Don't bother our captain, you loser." Qiuhe sensed the malice emanating from the child and stared intently at him.

Qiu Shanshan then reassured her, "Oh, it's alright, Xiao Qiu. Le Yi didn't mean any harm; she just wanted to talk to us. I'm happy to have someone to talk to."

Qiu Shanshan spoke to the child in a very gentle tone, and Qiu He, upon hearing Qiu Shanshan's words, realized that the child in front of him must be the one named Chur Gellerfy.

"Captain, you're too kind. This guy doesn't look like a good person at all. He's probably used his looks to deceive countless girls. He's a despicable scoundrel."

"Alright, Qiu, that's going too far. Le Yi meant no harm, she just came to check on things," Qiu He had also noticed something was off; every time he spoke to Qiu Shanshan...

The veins on Qiu Er's face became even more prominent, as if he hated anyone talking to Qiu Shanshan, or perhaps he hated other boys talking to Qiu Shanshan. "I don't want to cause any unpleasantness."

"I was just curious and wanted to take a look, but it seems I'm not very welcome here, so I won't bother you any longer. Sorry to bother you, goodbye."

Qiu Shanshan realized she had been somewhat impolite, so she tried her best to persuade Qiu He to stay, but Qiu Er beside her kept spouting a string of sharp words.

"Captain, let him leave if he wants. Who is he trying to fool with this pitiful act? It's disgusting. He inexplicably barged into someone's room and then inexplicably asked a girl a bunch of nonsensical questions. It's really disgusting."

Qiu Shanshan shook her head helplessly and sighed softly. She had hoped they could become friends, but she didn't know why Qiu Er had such a strong opinion of her.

Qiuhe didn't care about the pointless provocations he made there. Since others didn't like him, he would just leave. There was no need to have anything to do with such people.

But what Qiu Er said next completely ignited the conflict: "And I think this kid's relationship with those three girls in his team is ambiguous; their relationship behind the scenes might be quite dirty."

"Last time I saw that white-haired brat walk out of the challenge arena, they were hugging her so happily. That brat is also repulsive-looking; she's clearly a child, but she has a full head of white hair."

"And his eyes, no normal person's eyes look like that, he's practically a freak," Qiu He said, stopping in his tracks as he was about to leave. Qiu Shanshan, standing beside him, kept trying to persuade Qiu Er.

"Stop talking, Qiu'er. What you're saying is really too much. I heard from my mother that the girl is just a little withdrawn. I'm so happy and envious that Leyi and the others care about her so much. They have such a good friendship."

"Captain, you're too naive. Think about it, everyone else in the competition lost to you, so why is it that girl always manages to beat you?"

"This is completely illogical. If you ask me, that girl definitely cheated. She used despicable and underhanded methods to win the match. Calling her a freak is too kind."

"And their captain, she's actually Mother's biological daughter! I really don't understand how Mother could have a daughter like her. A captain shouldn't act like a captain at all, what's with all the pretense of being weak?"

"And the guy next to me with glasses, I heard there's someone in their team named Kirie, who seems to come from the Inazuma ninja family. Sounds impressive, but I've seen him reading those shady books a few times before."

"A girl watching that kind of stuff, ugh, she's hardly a respectable person. These two groups are definitely birds of a feather."

Upon hearing this, Kailer adjusted his glasses, thinking to himself how fortunate he was to have accompanied Qiuhe. If it had been Tian Yaochen, he probably would have been furious to hear him insult Qiehui like that.

He'd definitely go up and fight him to the death now. He thought to himself that Qiuhe was usually very calm, and although the kid's words were extremely vicious, Qiuhe probably wouldn't do anything now.

As Kailer was still pondering this, and then turned to look at Qiuhe, he noticed that Qiuhe was radiating a palpable killing intent. His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, his teeth were locked, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

If the incident with Yura had already angered Akiha, then this time, Qiu'er was blatantly trampling on Akiha's bottom line. Every word he uttered felt like a slap in the face.

Kailer sighed helplessly, adjusted his glasses, and said, "Looks like this is going to be a really crazy scene."

Qiuhe slowly walked to the door and slammed it shut. Then, the sound of the door being locked from the inside could be heard.

"Le Yi, you're back! How did it go? Did you notice anything wrong with that little girl?" Tian Yaochen asked Qiu He Kai Le after she returned.

Kailer concluded, "Leyi and I didn't notice anything unusual. The girl seemed normal and a nice person. It's just that one of her teammates didn't seem to like us much. We got back a bit late, and we only had a little argument just now."

Clementine was a little worried upon hearing this. "Oh? Then, Lei, they didn't do anything to you, did they?" Kelly said helplessly, "They didn't do anything to us, but..." Kelly looked at Qiuhe and sighed, then slowly said:

"But Leyi pulled down the kid's pants in front of the captain and spanked the kid's bottom for over half an hour."
