Xue Beng Comes Looking for Trouble

Yun Jin looked at Ye Xi with a helpless smile before speaking. "Miss, I offended the Fourth Prince some time ago, so if you buy this mansion, the Fourth Prince may come looking for trouble."

Yun Jin's voice was filled with helplessness.

Originally, he had not wanted to mention this matter. He had only wanted to sell the mansion as quickly as possible.

But Yun Jin was a wealthy merchant in Heaven Dou City and had seen his share of the world. Ye Xi and the others were dressed extravagantly, and among the three of them, Ye Xi was clearly the leader. Thus, Yun Jin could basically conclude that their identities were anything but ordinary.

If he did not reveal this matter, then the person he would offend later would not just be the Fourth Prince, but Ye Xi and the others before him as well.

"The Fourth Prince, Xue Beng?"

Ye Xi withdrew her gaze and continued surveying the mansion's surroundings. Her tone was calm, without the slightest change.

Tian Yao, who stood nearby, yawned, paying no attention whatsoever to the Fourth Prince.

Ling Yuan stood silently behind the two of them without speaking, her eyes equally calm.

"Yes, the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng."

Yun Jin nodded seriously, though delight arose in his heart.

From the expressions of the three women, he could tell that Ye Xi and the others did not care about the so-called Fourth Prince at all. This meant that his mansion was very likely to be sold.

"I'll take this mansion."

"Name your price."

Ye Xi found a place to sit within the mansion and asked about its price.

"Miss, I originally planned to sell this mansion for four hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins, but if you want it, I can lower the price by fifty thousand."

"What do you think, Miss?"

Yun Jin looked at Ye Xi and asked tentatively.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins?"

"Fine. It's very cheap."

Ye Xi nodded lightly, took out a Gold Soul Card, and handed it to Yun Jin.

For Heaven Dou City, this price was extremely cheap. As for the Fourth Prince Xue Beng coming to cause trouble, Ye Xi had never cared in the slightest.

After all, Xue Beng's influence truly was not worth mentioning in Ye Xi's eyes.

"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll fetch the mansion's documents for you."

Yun Jin took the Gold Soul Card, withdrew the amount he needed, then entered one of the mansion's rooms to retrieve the documents.

Very soon, Yun Jin brought out the documents and other items.

"Miss, please give me two days to sort out my things in the mansion."

"After two days, you may come and move in."

Yun Jin handed the documents and Gold Soul Card to Ye Xi, his voice sounding quite cheerful.

"Alright. We'll come back in two days."

Ye Xi accepted the Gold Soul Card, placed the documents into her Storage Bracelet, and headed outside the mansion.

Yun Jin escorted them all the way to the mansion gate before stopping.

Just as Yun Jin was about to say something, he saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothing walking toward them.

Two armored guards followed behind the young man.

"You bought this mansion?"

The young man's tone was arrogant and overbearing.

"Miss, this is the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng."

Yun Jin lowered his voice as he spoke to Ye Xi and the others.

Hearing this, Ye Xi sized Xue Beng up from head to toe, her eyes entirely without ripples.

Ling Yuan stepped forward and shielded Ye Xi and Tian Yao behind her.

"Fourth Prince, these people are dressed extravagantly. They probably have quite the background."

One of the guards behind Xue Beng lowered his voice and whispered into Xue Beng's ear.

"I can see that."

Xue Beng glanced at the guard, then began sizing up Ye Xi and the others.

In all of Heaven Dou City, the only forces he could not afford to offend were the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Spirit Hall.

As for the other forces, he truly did not take them seriously. If anything happened, his uncle, Prince Xue Xing, would clean up the mess. If Prince Xue Xing could not handle it, he would naturally call upon Dugu Bo, the Guest Elder of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

Thus, although he could see that Ye Xi and the others were dressed extravagantly, he did not care much.

"Hey, little girl, this prince is talking to you."

"That rich man behind you should have told you who I am, right?"

"Either get the hell out of here now, and I'll pretend nothing happened, or don't blame this prince for selling you to the Tiandou Auction House."

"With that face of yours, you should fetch quite a price."

Xue Beng stared directly at Ye Xi, displaying his playboy demeanor to the fullest.

"Ling Yuan, they're yours."

"Remember not to beat them to death. Just let Xue Xing come collect them."

Ye Xi glanced at Xue Beng, then patted Tian Yao on the shoulder, signaling for her to enter the mansion with her.

"Second Young Lady, I understand what to do."

Ling Yuan responded, her gaze locking onto Xue Beng.

After Ye Xi and the others returned to the mansion, Ling Yuan began walking toward Xue Beng step by step.

With every step Ling Yuan took, a soul ring flashed beneath her feet. The aura erupting from her body pressed directly down upon Xue Beng and his two guards.

In the end, what appeared before Xue Beng was nine soul rings: two yellow, two purple, and five black.

"A Titled Douluo..."

"I've kicked an iron plate!"

The moment this thought arose in Xue Beng's mind, he felt his body fly into the air before crashing heavily in front of the mansion gate.

"Tit... Your Eminence..."

One of the guards had just begun to speak when Ling Yuan raised her leg and kicked him flying.

"Go back and tell Xue Xing to come collect him personally."

After saying that, Ling Yuan ignored the guard. Instead, she walked to Xue Beng's side, grabbed him, and carried him into the mansion.

After hearing Ling Yuan's words, the guard headed toward the Prince's Residence.

Inside the mansion.

Ye Xi and Tian Yao sat at a wooden table, while the mansion's former owner thoughtfully prepared some fruit juice for them.

"Second Young Lady, why make Xue Xing come collect him..."

Tian Yao drank her fruit juice and glanced at Yun Jin, leaving the rest unsaid.

Seeing this, Yun Jin tactfully withdrew. He had no desire to hear what the two young ladies intended to discuss.

After all, he understood one thing very well: curiosity did not just kill cats. Sometimes, it killed people too.

"No matter how unfavored Xue Beng is, he's still a prince. Killing him in public would be troublesome."

"It would be better to use Xue Beng as a bargaining chip and get some benefits from Xue Xing."

Ye Xi leisurely drank her fruit juice, her tone extremely calm.

After all, Ye Xi knew that Xue Beng would not live much longer. Rather than kill Xue Beng in public and bring trouble upon herself, it was better to trade him for some benefits.

Tian Yao nodded as if she understood, then silently continued drinking her fruit juice.

At that moment, Ling Yuan returned, carrying Xue Beng with her.
