The Silent Yu Yuanzhen

On the way back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Tianheng, who had originally passed out, gradually regained consciousness.

"A sneak attack... she ambushed me..."

As Yu Tianheng spoke, his arm instinctively moved into a blocking posture.

"Alright, no more sneak attacks."

"We're currently on our way back to the clan."

Yu Tianxin's voice drifted over at that moment.

Hearing this, Yu Tianheng shook his head to clear it, then glanced at the bustling streets. Finally, he turned his gaze to Yu Tianxin. Seeing that Yu Tianxin was completely unharmed, confusion appeared in Yu Tianheng's eyes.

"Cousin, you're actually alright?"

Yu Tianheng pulled away from Yu Tianxin's support.

"What could possibly happen to me?"

Yu Tianxin reached out and flicked at the corner of his clothes.

"Didn't we go to challenge her together?"

"Your strength is about the same as mine, so how come you're completely fine?"

Confusion filled Yu Tianheng's eyes.

"Oh~"

"That's perfectly normal. I didn't fight her."

"Our challenge was naturally supposed to be one-on-one, but she had already fought you. If I stepped in afterward, wouldn't that be a relay battle? Even if I won, it would be an unworthy victory."

"I am an upright and honorable man. I can't do that sort of thing."

"Besides, after watching your fight, I've already reached a conclusion. The rumors weren't exaggerated at all. Even if I fought her, I wouldn't be able to win. At most, I'd only last fifteen minutes longer than you."

Yu Tianxin spoke with righteousness, looking every bit the honorable gentleman.

As for lasting fifteen minutes longer, he was not making it up.

Judging by how Bai Wanwan had beaten Yu Tianheng unilaterally for fifteen minutes, Yu Tianxin was certain that, at the same intensity, Bai Wanwan definitely would not be able to beat him to death within half an hour.

A fight was a fight, after all. If he got beaten unilaterally for half an hour without dying, then he had lasted fifteen minutes longer than Yu Tianheng.

So there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.

"Cousin, you weren't scared, were you?"

Yu Tianheng looked at Yu Tianxin with suspicion.

"What kind of talk is that?"

"What are you saying?"

"I merely followed my heart. How is that being scared?"

Yu Tianxin clasped his hands behind his back, his tone utterly serious.

Yu Tianheng stared at Yu Tianxin for a while, then said nothing more.

After returning to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

They headed straight for Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen.

Upon seeing Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianxin gave a slight bow and recounted what had happened on this trip.

Of course, he made a few alterations to certain details.

For instance, Yu Tianheng being beaten unilaterally for fifteen minutes became losing a fifteen-minute battle through a momentary lapse, while the reason Yu Tianxin had not fought became his unwillingness to engage in a relay battle and invite criticism.

As Yu Tianxin spoke, Yu Yuanzhen's gaze gradually settled on Yu Tianheng.

From Yu Tianxin's account and the injuries on Yu Tianheng's body, he seemed able to picture how intense that battle had been.

As for going to cause trouble.

Yu Yuanzhen had never considered it from beginning to end. Although Yu Tianheng had been beaten rather badly, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could afford to lose. They would not be like certain clans, where the older generation came after the younger one was beaten, and an even older generation came after the older one was beaten.

It was not until Yu Yuanzhen heard Yu Tianxin say that if there was a next time, she would bring people to reason with him, that he raised a hand to signal Yu Tianxin to stop.

"You just said that the one called Bai Wanwan asked you to convey her greetings to me, and also tell me that if there is a next time, she'll bring people to reason with me?"

Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly, displeasure showing in his eyes.

Naturally, he understood the implication behind "reasoning." Yet the losing side—his side—had not said anything, while the winning side actually dared to say such words. Did they really think the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was easy to bully?

"Yes, Clan Leader."

"Those were her exact words, though it may have been because my cousin said something wrong at the start."

Yu Tianxin answered earnestly.

He had not added any embellishment whatsoever. He was merely repeating the original words.

"Oh?"

"What did Tianheng say?"

Yu Yuanzhen still frowned, but his gaze shifted to Yu Tianheng.

"When we first went there, they said their time was precious and they didn't want to waste it on meaningless matters. Then my cousin said he wanted to pay for one night with her."

"And they have two Titled Douluo on their side."

Yu Tianheng recounted everything exactly as it had happened.

Yu Yuanzhen raised an eyebrow and fell silent, though his gaze remained fixed on Yu Tianheng.

The displeasure he had initially felt vanished in an instant.

He even felt that the other party had already shown him considerable respect by letting Yu Tianheng return alive.

Looking at it from another angle, if someone came to his door and said they wanted to buy one night with his daughter, Yu Yuanzhen felt that leaving them an intact corpse would already count as mercy.

The room fell silent.

Yu Tianxin said nothing.

Yu Tianheng lowered his head and likewise said nothing.

After a long while.

Yu Yuanzhen slowly spoke. "Tianheng, be more careful with your words next time."

"Later, I'll have someone select two small gifts and send them over."

Yu Yuanzhen's tone was calm, without blame or displeasure.

Strictly speaking, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was more at fault in this matter. Since the other party had already given them face, sending over two small gifts to let the matter pass was enough.

It was no big deal.

"Yes."

Yu Tianheng answered, his voice somewhat muffled.

Yu Yuanzhen lightly waved his hand, signaling for them to withdraw. Then his gaze turned toward Canglan King's Mansion, a faintly contemplative look appearing in his eyes.

Canglan King's Mansion.

Inside an antique-styled room.

Qian Renxue had Bai Wanwan sitting on her lap. Looking at the blush on Bai Wanwan's face and her cherry lips, which carried an enticing allure, she was just about to lean in for a taste.

Then, a series of knocks echoed through the room.

Qian Renxue froze.

Her fair hand clenched tightly.

It had hardened!

Her fist had already hardened.

Knocking again!

That damned knocking again!

Her slightly narrow phoenix eyes stared fixedly at the door. Qian Renxue had the urge to take out the Angel Sword and chop down whoever was knocking.

Couldn't they knock a little earlier, or a little later?

Did it have to be at such an awkward time?

Bai Wanwan climbed down from Qian Renxue's lap. After taking a deep breath to clear her head, she lowered her gaze and lightly kicked at the floor with her foot, lost in thought.

Qian Renxue stood up and opened the door.

"Shi Nian!"

"You'd better have a reason for this!"

Qian Renxue looked at the person standing outside, her voice gritted through clenched teeth.

"Uh..."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sent someone to deliver gifts."

Seeing Qian Renxue's expression and hearing her tone, Shi Nian's body involuntarily trembled.

He had no idea how he had offended this Young Lady.
