Chapter 128 Heaven Dou Grand Auction House
As soon as Yu Tianyun stepped through the door, he saw a blond man with his back to him.
Upon hearing the noise, the blond man immediately turned around, a warm smile on his face.
"Brother Yu, Rongrong, and Miss Dugu, you've arrived!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Yu Tianyun's eyes, but he simply nodded slightly.
Bow? That's impossible.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan members always only pay respects to those stronger than themselves; status is irrelevant here.
They never took any empire or crown prince seriously; perhaps this is the source of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's arrogance.
To paraphrase Yu Tianyun's words from his previous life, they were a group of arrogant dragons. It was normal for them to be a little proud of their dragon martial souls.
While this arrogance is generally disliked, it can sometimes be admirable.
Just like in the original Soul Extinction Operation, the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan fought to the death as long as they were in the sect, and not one of them had any thought of running away.
Otherwise, with Yu Yuanzhen's strength, escaping would not have been difficult, but due to his pride, he perished together with a Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall.
Growing up in such a family environment, Yu Tianyun naturally possessed a certain arrogance, but he was not stubborn.
Influenced by the concept of equality for all people from his previous life, he would never bow to any peers except his elders.
Yu Tianyun didn't care about being a crown prince or anything like that. In his view, once he had absolute power, he could become emperor whenever he wanted. In this world, only power guaranteed by strength commands respect, and Xue Qinghe, on the surface, clearly lacked that.
If Xue Qinghe were to revert to her true form, it wouldn't be shameful for Yu Tianyun to bow respectfully to her. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "Grandpa still hasn't tried hard enough!"
However, Yu Tianyun's behavior at this moment seemed quite normal, no different from the other members of his clan.
Xue Qinghe showed no displeasure whatsoever, maintaining a gentle smile as she watched the three of them.
Dugu Yan and Yu Tianyun were exactly alike; they nodded slightly as a greeting.
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, acted more amicably. After all, Xue Qinghe was her father's disciple, and she had to give him face. A polite smile appeared on her pretty face; however, she didn't think so in her heart.
"Brother Qinghe, what brings you here today?"
Xue Qinghe's gentle smile remained on his face as he softly said, "Rongrong, can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
Ning Rongrong had no idea what Xue Qinghe was up to, so she replied with a forced smile, "Brother Qinghe should prioritize national affairs. How can you waste your time on a mere woman like me?"
Xue Qinghe gently shook his head, "Rongrong, what are you saying? Although national affairs are important,..."
……
Neither Yu Tianyun nor Dugu Yan interrupted, merely watching Ning Rongrong and Xue Qinghe bicker with cold eyes.
Suddenly, Yu Tianyun's heart stirred. He was curious about Qian Renxue's appearance. In his memories of his previous life, people were arguing about whether Qian Renxue or the Silver Dragon King was the number one beauty in Douluo Continent.
The Silver Dragon King, that reclusive dragon girl, has been holed up in the Lake of Life, so he hasn't had a chance to meet her yet, but he now has the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Qian Renxue's beauty.
So, he quietly activated his Ice and Fire Eyes. At this moment, the Ice and Fire Eyes no longer showed any unusual phenomena. Since condensing his soul core, he had become more and more adept at controlling his mental power, which had a sense of returning to simplicity.
He wasn't afraid that Qian Renxue would notice.
As Xue Qinghe's face gradually became transparent in his vision, a stunningly beautiful face was slowly revealed.
Her skin was as delicate as mutton fat jade, with a warm luster flowing through it. It seemed that a gentle touch would reveal its water-like smoothness, yet it exuded a sacred and noble aura that made people hesitate to approach.
Her slightly upturned eyes held a touch of allure, yet were as cold as frost. Her long eyelashes, like delicate little fans, were captivating yet exuded an unapproachable aloofness as they moved across her face.
A high, straight nose bridge resembles a majestic and beautiful mountain peak, its uprightness conveying an inviolable majesty.
Her lips were as luscious as cherries, naturally red without any makeup, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth carried a faint smile that seemed gentle but actually contained an unfathomable and profound depth.
The words "noble," "sacred," and "coldly alluring" involuntarily came to mind for Yu Tianyun.
He felt as if his gaze was firmly locked onto Qian Renxue's beauty, unable to look away even a fraction of an inch.
However, Qian Renxue's beauty could not compete with Yu Tianyun's subconscious physical reaction.
His gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, landing on Qian Renxue's slender neck, its lines as graceful as a white swan, fair and elegant.
Further down, there's her delicate collarbone, slightly concave, exuding a unique kind of sexiness.
Further down, Yu Tianyun was beyond words. All he saw were patches of dazzling white light shining in his eyes, making it impossible for him to look away. He couldn't help but swallow.
His heart was filled with turmoil, and he exclaimed inwardly, "Such an astonishingly beautiful face, truly breathtakingly gorgeous! It would be good to get to know her better; what Mom says isn't always true."
However, he quickly realized that he couldn't lose his composure like that, so he hurriedly suppressed his shock and amazement, and quickly composed himself, afraid that Qian Renxue would notice something amiss.
At the same time, he quickly suppressed the agitated blood and qi.
Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe was still talking with Ning Rongrong, completely unaware of Yu Tianyun's subtle actions.
Yu Tianyun calmed himself down and refocused his attention on their conversation, maintaining his indifferent and calm demeanor.
"We have nothing to do today. Rongrong, Brother Yu, Miss Dugu, how about we go to the Tian Dou Grand Auction House together? I heard there are many rare and precious treasures there recently."
Xue Qinghe concluded.
Ning Rongrong frowned slightly, pondering to herself:
"Xue Qinghe's sudden appearance must have some ulterior motive. Although it's unclear now, his intentions must be quite ambitious. Could I be his target? That seems unlikely! He should know that I could never marry into the royal family."
So she hugged Yu Tianyun's arm and said in a coquettish tone:
"Brother Tianyun, do you think we should go?"
Ning Rongrong posed the question to Yu Tianyun. If Yu Tianyun hadn't seen Xue Qinghe's true face, he definitely wouldn't have wanted to go, but now he was naturally willing. A warm smile appeared on his cold, handsome face as he said:
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has invited us, let's go. Let's rest today and balance work and rest."
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe became even more certain of his previous guess, and his eyes gradually became strange. This intimate behavior and coquettish tone made it clear that their relationship was extraordinary. But was his relationship with Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun, and Ye Lingling the same?
Xue Qinghe carefully examined Yu Tianyun, trying to glean more clues from his expression and demeanor.
Yu Tianyun stood tall and imposing, like a proud pine tree. His handsome face was cold and stern, with slanted, sword-like eyebrows and deep, cold eyes that were sharp and resolute.
Beneath his straight nose, his thin lips were tightly pressed together, revealing a stubbornness. His skin was as white as jade, seemingly radiating a soft glow in the sunlight, as if containing endless power.
He was dressed in a black outfit, which made his tall and capable figure stand out even more. His black hair was tied up high, and he exuded a sharp and unruly temperament.
Xue Qinghe was momentarily dazed, muttering to himself, "Sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, outstanding appearance, upright posture, extraordinary temperament..."
"Pah, pah, pah, no matter how good-looking he is, he's still a scumbag."
"However, this scumbag does have the looks to attract a lot of women."
"But are all women this superficial?"
Xue Qinghe withdrew his gaze and looked at Ning Rongrong, saying, "Brother Yu is right. Cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. Taking a day off is not a big deal. However, Rongrong, what I'm really curious about now is the relationship between you two, and also Miss Dugu..."
Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Tianyun and I are engaged."
Upon hearing Ning Rongrong introduce herself, Yu Tianyun added, "That's right, not only is Rongrong my fiancée, but Yanyan is also my fiancée."
After he finished speaking, neither Ning Rongrong nor Dugu Yan refuted him. The two of them held his arms on either side, appearing to acquiesce.
Xue Qinghe was greatly shocked, never expecting their relationship to have developed to this point. He then added in his mind:
"And Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling are all your fiancées! Ugh, disgusting! All the men in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family are scumbags!"
Xue Qinghe's gentle smile could no longer be maintained, and her speech became somewhat stammering:
"Brother Yu, I know you are the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, but do my teacher know that you have so many fiancées, including Rongrong?"
Yu Tianyun nodded. He already knew everything when Ning Fengzhi came to thank him last time, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, he had already taken advantage of Ning Rongrong, and even if he wanted to go back on his word, Ning Rongrong would be the first to object.
"Father-in-law, of course he knows. And Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone know too."
One sentence silenced Xue Qinghe. At this moment, he truly looked at Yu Tianyun with new respect, and even addressed him as his father-in-law, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone!
He grew increasingly contemptuous of Yu Tianyun's scumbag, rogue, and shameless behavior.
But what is it about him that makes so many women fall for him? He is indeed very handsome, dashing and debonair... but those women shouldn't be that shallow. Could it be that he has some unknown strengths?
This fueled the growing curiosity in Xue Qinghe's, also known as Qian Renxue's, heart.
"In that case, let's set off." Xue Qinghe withdrew his gaze and turned to walk outside first.
The group followed behind him, with Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong still holding Yu Tianyun's arms, and headed towards the Tian Dou Grand Auction House.
Along the way, Xue Qinghe kept calculating in his mind, "I must stay calm, observe him carefully, and think about how to deal with him. I must not let him become an obstacle to my plans. But if I can use him, he might be a good pawn."
Yu Tianyun's thoughts were much simpler. He was always looking for something better, and he kept secretly glancing at Xue Qinghe's graceful figure along the way.
