Ye Guyi's Complaints, Tang Ya's Pride

"Stop, stop, aren't you afraid Ye Guyi will give you trouble?"

Li Qingxuan hurriedly stopped Tang Ya's train of thought.

"We're both Titled Douluo. Why would I be afraid of her? When I was in the Tang Sect, I was the sect master. She isn't."

Tang Ya chuckled, not taking Ye Guyi seriously at all.

As Titled Douluo, neither of them feared the other.

"I don't want to wear it anymore. I've worn it enough lately." Li Qingxuan continued to refuse.

He was truly afraid that one of them might lose control and start a battle in the skies above Heaven Dou City.

"Young Master, refusals are ineffective. You should still come and try on the clothes Tang Ya designed."

Tang Ya smiled faintly, automatically ignoring Li Qingxuan's refusal as she carried him into her room.

Tang Ya carried Li Qingxuan into the room and set him down beside the bed.

She turned around, picked up a neatly folded outfit, and handed it to Li Qingxuan.

It was a smaller version of the Tang Sect's early Sect Master Robe.

It was a light-blue, close-fitting outfit, exactly the same style Tang Ya had worn back then. The size had merely been adjusted for a six-year-old child. It was neat and fitted, without any unnecessary decorations.

"I made this according to the Sect Master Robe I wore back then and specially adjusted the size for you," Tang Ya said.

Li Qingxuan shook his head, still wanting to refuse.

Without giving him a chance to protest, Tang Ya helped him change clothes.

Afterward, six-year-old Li Qingxuan stood there in the light-blue outfit, perfectly matching Tang Ya's early sect master style.

Tang Ya looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.

"The Sky Mending Pavilion's master should wear clothes like mine."

Li Qingxuan tugged at the hem of his clothes and smiled helplessly.

"Ye Guyi will definitely make a fuss when she comes."

"If Ye Guyi dares to make a fuss, I'll argue with her."

Tang Ya took his hand and walked straight outside.

She wasn't afraid of Ye Guyi. She hadn't been afraid of her ten thousand years later, and she wasn't afraid of her ten thousand years ago either.

When they reached the outside of the courtyard, they happened to see Ye Guyi, who had just finished speaking with Qian Renxue.

"Miss Ye's designs are truly extraordinary. I hope I'll have the chance to see your designs again next time."

"His Highness the Crown Prince flatters me. None of this would have been possible without my Young Master's help."

Ye Guyi smiled faintly, but when her eyes turned toward the opposite side, the smile on her entire face instantly froze.

Wait, how did the outfit matching mine and the Young Master's get changed?

Her golden, beautiful eyes turned toward Tang Ya's smug expression again, and she immediately understood.

So she took advantage of my inattention and secretly changed the Young Master's clothes?

Damn it, Tang Ya is really crafty.

Qian Renxue, who had also noticed something strange, turned her head to look.

Li Qingxuan, who had originally been dressed similarly to Ye Guyi, was now dressed more like Tang Ya's younger brother.

Something was off. Tang Ya's talent for design seemed no weaker either.

These outfits could serve as formal wear for a banquet or as matching uniforms for an academy, no matter where they were worn.

"I didn't expect Miss Tang's design concepts to be so good as well." Qian Renxue couldn't help praising her.

"My abilities far surpass Ye Guyi's." Tang Ya smiled disdainfully. "Those pitiful scraps of talent Ye Guyi has aren't even worth mentioning to me."

"What do you mean, 'pitiful scraps'? Tang Ya, explain yourself!"

Ye Guyi ground her teeth in anger and ran directly in front of Tang Ya, looking as though she intended to argue the matter out with her.

Sensing that something was wrong, Li Qingxuan hurried outside the residence.

"Young Master Li, the two guards you've recruited seem quite extraordinary. Even their vision is remarkably advanced. I wonder where one could recruit guards like them?"

Rather than disturb the two women arguing, Qian Renxue had come outside the courtyard and asked Li Qingxuan with a smile.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has his eye on my Ye Guyi and Tang Ya."

Li Qingxuan looked at Qian Renxue warily.

"Would finding two Titled Douluo really be difficult for this Crown Prince? What I want are soul masters with advanced design concepts."

She wasn't short of Titled Douluo. She already had Pufferfish and Snake Lance by her side. What she lacked was someone with an advanced design concept.

"Then there may not be any. For Titled Douluo like them, the ones I've recruited are one of a kind. It also depends on luck."

Li Qingxuan smiled mysteriously and looked toward the courtyard, only to discover that the two women had already stopped arguing.

Only then did he say indifferently, "I won't keep you company any longer. His Highness the Crown Prince can return on his own."

With a light step, he returned directly to the courtyard.

Qian Renxue still wanted to say more, but when she turned around, she was greeted not by the scenery of the courtyard but by the sound of the door slamming shut.

"That guy!" Qian Renxue pouted, returning to the Crown Prince's Residence with a resentful look.

Inside the residence, Li Qingxuan had barely stepped in when Ye Guyi pinched his cheek.

"Guyi, let go! Stop pinching me!"

"Young Master, how could you let that Tang Ya change you into her clothes? Your clothes were designed by me with great care." Ye Guyi complained.

"It's not as if I wanted this. Faced with the strength of a Titled Douluo, could I resist?"

Li Qingxuan blinked.

"All right!"

Ye Guyi spread her hands, somewhat helpless as well. Since they had been changed, so be it.

Now I should design the Young Master's clothes for when he grows up. I'll get ahead of Tang Ya and stop that woman from succeeding again.

"Hmph, Ye Guyi, you should be more magnanimous. We were both members of the Tang Sect before. If the Young Master can wear your clothes, why can't he wear mine?" Tang Ya said unhappily.

Ye Guyi rolled her eyes at Tang Ya.

"Who wants to try my Soul Bone Skill?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Ya was just about to volunteer when Ye Guyi directly pulled Li Qingxuan to the center.

"Naturally, I will!"

Tang Ya looked aggrieved, but since Ye Guyi had seized the initiative, she could only accept it.

In the center of the courtyard, Li Qingxuan stood still, feeling the surging Ultimate Light power within his right leg bone.

"Guyi, it's coming."

Ye Guyi nodded, spreading Light Soul Power around her body as she prepared to respond at any moment.

Li Qingxuan activated his Soul Power, and the passive skill Dawn Steps the Stars took effect at once.

His speed surged, and he directly ran through the air. Radiant motes scattered beneath his feet, instantly purifying the sinister aura within ten meters.

Two radiant afterimages emerged as he ran. His body became a translucent phantom, easily dodging Ye Guyi's probing lock-on.

Light Force Dissipation automatically activated in his right leg. Thirty percent of Ye Guyi's Soul Power impact was converted into life recovery for him, while dark-attributed damage was greatly reduced.

Li Qingxuan landed and condensed the origin of light into his right leg, unleashing the active skill Holy Deer Redemption Kick.

A massive phantom of a radiant deer's hoof blasted out, and the force of the light impact swept across the area. If a dark target were present, it would suffer triple critical damage.

Within the skill's range, even the slightest fatigue around Li Qingxuan's body vanished completely. His health and Soul Power recovered by thirty percent, while a pale-golden Light Blessing covered his body, allowing him to block one fatal attack within five seconds.

Ye Guyi watched the skill's effects, her eyes filled with amazement.

"The Ultimate Light Soul Bone is so effective."

Li Qingxuan moved his right leg, sensing the boost from the Soul Bone, and was quite satisfied.

"Purification, redemption, speed, defense—it has everything." Tang Ya came over and smiled faintly.

"No matter how good it is, he's still our Young Master. Don't even think about monopolizing him."

Ye Guyi glared at her without arguing, merely looking at Li Qingxuan with complete approval.

Li Qingxuan, meanwhile, was feeling the effects of the passive and active skills.
