Bone Douluo Stirs Up Trouble

"Certainly, certainly. Please come upstairs, you two," Shopkeeper Li said hurriedly as he led Sword Douluo and Ye Xiaofeng into a private room.

"Shopkeeper Li, you know what to do." Ye Xiaofeng smiled at Shopkeeper Li.

"Rest assured, Young Master Ye. I'll definitely make sure Senior Chen Xin is satisfied," Shopkeeper Li said. He understood Ye Xiaofeng's wink earlier meant the money had arrived.

"Feng'er, your relationship with Shopkeeper Li seems rather unusual." From their conversation, Sword Douluo could tell that Ye Xiaofeng and Shopkeeper Li were quite close.

"Hehe, Master, nothing escapes your discerning eye. When I first arrived in the imperial capital, I stayed here. Over time, I became familiar with Shopkeeper Li. Didn't I win two matches before? Shopkeeper Li got tempted too, so he lent me a hundred million." Ye Xiaofeng smiled innocently at Sword Douluo and quickly poured him some wine.

"You can casually borrow a hundred million? Why don't you ask Shopkeeper Li to lend me a hundred million too?" Sword Douluo was simply teasing Ye Xiaofeng. This little fellow actually dared to fool him.

"Oh, right. This is for you, Master." Ye Xiaofeng hurriedly took out the hundred-million Black Gold Card Luo Shaotian had given him from his Soul Guiding Device Storage Ring.

"Keep it for yourself. Consider it a gift from your master." Sword Douluo did not lack money, while Ye Xiaofeng happened to need it urgently.

"Master, with such a distinguished identity as a Super Douluo, isn't a hundred million a little too little for a gift?" Ye Xiaofeng said shamelessly with a grin.

"Hm? If you think it's too little, then give it back. I'll give you more next time." Sword Douluo had been happily listening to Ye Xiaofeng's flattery while drinking, but the latter half of that sentence made his face darken. He had not expected his disciple to be so greedy.

"Hehe, it's not little, not little at all." Ye Xiaofeng quickly put the Black Gold Card into his Soul Guiding Device Storage Ring. If his master took it back, who knew when he would receive a gift again? He might not get one at all.

"Shopkeeper Li, yesterday's meal wasn't satisfying enough. You know what to do." At that moment, Bone Douluo arrived downstairs as well.

"I didn't know Senior Gu Rong would be visiting. Please forgive my failure to welcome you from afar. Please come in," Shopkeeper Li said hurriedly as he greeted Bone Douluo.

"Senior, will you be dining alone, or with Senior Chen Xin?" As Shopkeeper Li accompanied Bone Douluo up to the second floor, he cautiously asked. If he served such big shots well, everything would be easy. If not, trouble would never end.

"Why has that cowardly man come here too?" Bone Douluo said loudly to Shopkeeper Li, though he was really saying it for Sword Douluo inside to hear.

"What, you black blockhead can come, but I can't?" Sword Douluo continued drinking elegantly, paying him no mind.

Ye Xiaofeng watched Bone Douluo slowly enter, with Shopkeeper Li following behind him wearing an awkward expression.

"Bone Elder, Master and I only just arrived, and you came right after us. You came at just the right time. Why not join us?" Ye Xiaofeng hurriedly changed the subject. Otherwise, these two would start bickering again.

"Shopkeeper Li, what are you standing around for? Hurry up with the wine. Bring out every Signature Dish you have," Ye Xiaofeng said again to Shopkeeper Li.

"Right away, it'll be here soon." Shopkeeper Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly backing out and closing the door.

"Bone Elder, please sit. Have some wine." Ye Xiaofeng directly took charge as though he were the host, immediately pouring Bone Douluo a drink like a waiter.

"Why aren't you staying at the sect? What are you doing here?" Sword Douluo was clearly dissatisfied that Bone Douluo had come to disturb him.

"This isn't your place. You can come, so why can't I?" Bone Douluo refused to back down.

"You followed us here just to mooch a meal. Don't think I don't know." Sword Douluo deliberately tried to embarrass Bone Douluo.

"Pah! You really know how to flatter yourself. I've seen shameless people, but never anyone as shameless as you. The two of you clearly saw me heading this way, so you came in ahead of me." Bone Douluo was not wrong.

"Black blockhead, you should stay in the sect. I know being ugly isn't your fault, but coming out in broad daylight to scare people is your fault." Sword Douluo deliberately provoked Bone Douluo.

"Cowardly man, don't make personal attacks. Half your body is already in the grave, yet you still have the face of some pretty boy. You're no better-looking than I am." What Bone Douluo hated most was Sword Douluo mocking his appearance.

"A handsome man like me only appears once in a hundred years." Sword Douluo flicked the white hair in front of his eyes with his fingers and smiled in satisfaction.

"Food's here!" Shopkeeper Li shouted outside the room before entering with the dishes. Serving food was normally the work of the shop assistants, but with these big shots in the room, Shopkeeper Li had no choice but to do it himself.

"Master, Elder, let's eat first. We can discuss everything else afterward." Ye Xiaofeng began playing peacemaker.

Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo glanced at each other, then both turned their heads away in disgust, unwilling to look at one another.

"Both seniors, Young Master Ye is right. These dishes won't taste the same once they get cold," Shopkeeper Li quickly agreed with Ye Xiaofeng.

"Let's be clear, I'm only not arguing with you because I'm here to eat." Hearing Ye Xiaofeng and Shopkeeper Li, Bone Douluo began to soften.

"I can't be bothered talking to you. You'll ruin my appetite." Sword Douluo also did not continue teasing Bone Douluo.

"Shopkeeper Li, your cooking is quite good." Bone Douluo started eating first and did not forget to praise Shopkeeper Li.

"I'm glad you like it, Senior." Shopkeeper Li was naturally delighted by Bone Douluo's praise.

"Hey, hey, I haven't even picked up my chopsticks yet." Sword Douluo watched Bone Douluo wolfing down the food and said unhappily.

"Who cares whether you eat or not?" Bone Douluo was utterly blunt. As long as he was enjoying himself, that was enough.

Sword Douluo stopped paying attention to Bone Douluo, while Ye Xiaofeng accompanied the two of them as they ate.

Once Bone Douluo had eaten and drunk his fill, his mouth could not stay idle any longer.

"Today's meal was quite satisfying. If you hadn't ruined my mood, I would've been even happier," he said to Sword Douluo, who was drinking.

"Couldn't all that food shut your mouth?" Sword Douluo's good mood had been completely ruined today by this black blockhead, Bone Douluo.

"Then don't come here to eat." Bone Douluo was not about to yield to Sword Douluo. Now that he was full, it was time to digest.

"Bone Elder, this is the payment I promised you." Ye Xiaofeng took out the hundred-million Black Gold Card and handed it to Bone Douluo.

Unlike Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo would not refuse a hundred million. He casually took the Black Gold Card from Ye Xiaofeng and placed it into the Soul Guiding Device Storage Ring on his finger.

"I didn't expect you two to get it done so quickly. If I'd known, I would've gone with you." Bone Douluo knew Sword Douluo and Ye Xiaofeng had gone to the Great Soul Arena to collect the money, yet after benefiting from it, he still acted as though he had missed out.

"You have the nerve to accept my disciple's money?" Sword Douluo looked at Bone Douluo with contempt.

"What do you mean, your disciple's money? This is my money, all right? Ye Xiaofeng, tell him. Isn't this your tribute to me?" Unable to outargue Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo turned his attention to Ye Xiaofeng.

"Hehe, yes, it's my tribute to Bone Elder. It's only right for Bone Elder to accept it." Ye Xiaofeng could only laugh awkwardly. He could not afford to offend Bone Douluo either.

"At least you're smart, kid." Having received a hundred million, Bone Douluo no longer cared about the fifty million he had lost before. In any case, the money had come back.

"Feng'er and I are returning to the sect, so don't follow us." Sword Douluo had finished eating and spoke lightly to Bone Douluo.

"You go your way, I'll go mine. Besides, the sect isn't yours alone to command." Bone Douluo's teeth itched with anger at Sword Douluo's words.

"Fine, then you return to the sect first. I'll take Feng'er to look around the auction house." Sword Douluo smiled slyly.

"Who wants to go with you? Honestly." With that, Bone Douluo stormed off in a huff.

"Feng'er, let's go look around the auction house." Sword Douluo had never intended to return to the sect so soon.

"Master, why do you and Bone Elder start arguing every time you meet?" Ye Xiaofeng looked at the two Titled Douluo, both revered by countless people, and wondered why the two he knew acted like children.

"When we were both Rank 95, we made a wager over who would be the first to break through to Rank 96. In the end, he lost," Sword Douluo said calmly.

After that, all the sect's major and minor affairs were basically handed over to Bone Douluo, while Sword Douluo lived a comparatively leisurely life. Eventually, things became what Ye Xiaofeng saw now.

Whenever the two met, they would start bickering. Neither was willing to lose to the other, and over time it became a habit. If they did not argue for a few days, they would feel uneasy.

"Let's go. You'll understand what kind of person he is soon enough." Sword Douluo smiled at Ye Xiaofeng, then turned and left Heavenly Human World Inn with him.

This time, Bone Douluo did not follow them. He returned directly to the sect, then suddenly thought of something and gave a sly smile.

"Grandpa Bone, where did you go? I couldn't find you anywhere all afternoon," Ning Rongrong asked Bone Douluo curiously.

"Yesterday, I had Shopkeeper Li's food and felt it wasn't satisfying enough, so I went to Heavenly Human World Inn for a casual meal," Bone Douluo said with a smile. He seemed like a completely different person from when Ye Xiaofeng had seen him. When he looked at Ning Rongrong, it was as though he were looking at his own granddaughter.

"Hmph, Grandpa Bone doesn't love me anymore. You sneaked out to eat by yourself and didn't even bring me," Ning Rongrong immediately became unhappy.

"When I went to Heavenly Human World Inn to eat, guess who I saw?" Bone Douluo put on a surprised expression for Ning Rongrong.

"Who did you see?" Bone Douluo's words immediately caught Ning Rongrong's attention.

"I saw your Grandpa Sword with his precious disciple. The two of them were secretly eating at Heavenly Human World Inn too." After saying that, he gave a sinister smile.

"Grandpa Sword, how dare you! You forgot your granddaughter the moment you got a new disciple." Ning Rongrong had already been angry that Bone Douluo left her behind to eat. Now that Bone Douluo said this, it only added fuel to the fire.

"That's what I thought too. I secretly overheard the two of them saying they were going to some auction house." Bone Douluo was delighted inside. He wanted to see how that cowardly man would deal with this later.

"I'm so mad!" Ning Rongrong stomped her foot in anger.

"Rongrong, perhaps Grandpa Bone heard wrong. It's only natural that your Grandpa Sword would have a meal with his newly accepted disciple." Bone Douluo could not make it too obvious, or Ning Rongrong would grow suspicious. The best approach was to take a step back in order to advance.

"What do you mean, natural? Am I, his granddaughter, not even as important as his newly accepted disciple?" Ning Rongrong's eyes reddened as she looked at Bone Douluo in grievance.

"How about this? Grandpa Bone will take you to the auction house. Whatever you want to buy, Grandpa Bone will buy it for you." This time, Bone Douluo intended to use this precious granddaughter to torment Sword Douluo and Ye Xiaofeng for a while.

"I want to see what Grandpa Sword buys for him," Ning Rongrong said angrily.

"Then we should hurry, or those two will have already bought everything." Bone Douluo looked at Ning Rongrong and said.

Ever since she was little, both Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo had indulged Ning Rongrong's every request. Even Ning Fengzhi, her father, found it difficult to interfere. Over time, she developed a somewhat arrogant and willful temperament, though she was not excessively unreasonable.

Ning Rongrong had originally been angry with Bone Douluo, but after he added fuel to the flames, all her anger shifted completely onto Sword Douluo and Ye Xiaofeng.
