"Hmm?"
Feeling the gaze of the Snow Emperor sweep over him, Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly.
The person the Snow Emperor had spoken of was none other than Yu Yuanzhen and his group from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Had they been discovered?
This suspicion rose in his heart.
However, he did not dwell on it for long, quickly suppressing the thought.
There were more important matters before him that he needed to confirm.
Yu Yuanzhen turned his head to look at the old man beside him:
"Well? Can you confirm it?"
The old man was the person he had found within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who was most familiar with the missing Yu Shuangbai.
Of course, only relatively familiar.
He was the member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan responsible for logistical support for the families of disciples who had died in battle.
Yu Shuangbai happened to be among those he was responsible for.
That was why Yu Yuanzhen had brought him along to confirm whether this was truly the Yu Shuangbai who had gone missing from their clan.
The old man squinted his eyes, which were dim and clouded with age.
He stared intently at Yu Shuangbai, who was chatting and laughing with Dugu Yan and the Snow Emperor at a table in the corner.
That handsome, refined face overlapped with the malnourished, pale little face in his memory.
Finally, he nodded slightly:
"Although there have been great changes, there are indeed many similarities."
With these words spoken.
Yu Yuanzhen had his answer.
He was now certain that this Yu Shuangbai was indeed the one who had gone missing from their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan several years ago.
It was highly probable that due to some fortuitous encounter, his Ice Lizard martial soul had mutated into the Ice Dragon martial soul that Yu Tianheng and his brother claimed could strike fear into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Thinking of this.
Yu Yuanzhen felt a mixture of regret and excitement.
He regretted that they had failed to discover Yu Shuangbai, this hidden peerless genius, back then.
He was excited because, in the end, Yu Shuangbai was still a member of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Even though he had left the clan for certain reasons.
In Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, these were not major issues.
After all, their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was one of the Upper Three Sects.
Countless soul masters across the continent dreamed of becoming a member of their clan.
As long as they showed goodwill and offered some compensation.
Yu Yuanzhen believed that a twelve-year-old boy like Yu Shuangbai would surely let go of past grievances and return to their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Their clan was in desperate need of a genius who could lead them to even greater heights!
Although the "Twin Stars" of the clan, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, possessed quite impressive talent.
They still fell short compared to his own younger self.
Not to mention leading the clan to greater heights.
Yu Yuanzhen was not even certain if they could maintain the clan's current standing after he eventually passed away.
Therefore, he had already made up his mind: he would definitely bring this youth, whose talent surpassed both Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, back into the fold of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
With a Yu Shuangbai whose talent exceeded his own.
Added to the two who had a high probability of reaching the Title Douluo realm, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.
Three Title Douluos in one clan—what a glorious prospect that would be!
Thinking of this, Yu Yuanzhen slowly stood up and walked toward where Yu Shuangbai was sitting.
Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng exchanged a glance, knowing that their grandfather had surely decided to have Yu Shuangbai acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan.
The two were not surprised by this.
After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had always been this pragmatic.
Since Yu Shuangbai possessed terrifying talent and was originally one of their own, it was only logical that Yu Yuanzhen would want him to return to his roots.
It was just that the two felt a complex mix of emotions.
If Yu Shuangbai truly returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...
I fear there would be no such thing as the Twin Stars.
Instead, there would only be a single bright moon hanging in the sky.
That battle from the other day had completely drained Yu Tianheng's spirit, leaving him with no desire to compete against Yu Shuangbai.
His entire mindset had essentially devolved into giving up.
Shuangbai is strong, so I surrender.
Inside the restaurant.
Another pair of eyes took in everything happening below.
"How interesting."
"Thunder Douluo, and that Yu Shuangbai who made such a splash at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy the other day."
"I didn't expect these two to be from the same clan, though it seems there is some unpleasantness between them..."
Xue Qinghe.
Or, to be precise, Qian Renxue.
She sat in a private booth, looking through the glass window in front of her, the corners of her mouth curling up as she murmured with great interest.
She had not expected to encounter such an amusing scene while dining today.
This restaurant was, in fact, a property of Qian Renxue.
Whenever she had free time, she would come to this private booth that belonged solely to her to dine.
Through a special one-way mechanism, she could take in all the conversations of the diners below.
She used this to learn more about the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire.
After all...
Restaurants and brothels were often the places where the most information could be gathered.
She just hadn't expected to receive such interesting news today.
"Uncle Pufferfish, do you think Yu Yuanzhen will succeed?"
She swirled her wine glass and said languidly.
Beside her.
A figure slowly stepped out from the shadows.
It was none other than Pufferfish Douluo, who was responsible for protecting Qian Renxue's safety.
He pondered for a moment before shaking his head:
"It is difficult."
"Oh?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised by this answer.
"How so?"
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still has some reputation, after all, and Yu Yuanzhen should be able to provide him with significant assistance."
"It should still be quite tempting, right?"
Although Qian Renxue said this, the disdain in her tone was self-evident.
To others, the so-called Upper Three Sects of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan might be a top-tier sect that was out of reach.
But to Qian Renxue, who was born in Martial Soul Hall and was the Young Mistress of the Worship Hall, it was different.
A mere Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really didn't amount to much.
The only one she could even look upon with any regard was that Thunder Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen.
And even Yu Yuanzhen only possessed the strength of a Title Douluo at the level of a Worship Elder.
Yet, there were seven such individuals in the entire Worship Hall.
However, that was only how she viewed it.
Qian Renxue was still aware that the name of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was very tempting to the vast majority of soul masters.
Pufferfish Douluo spoke up to explain:
"That Yu Shuangbai may not need Yu Yuanzhen's help."
"Young Mistress, did you see that woman in the white dress?"
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
Even as a woman herself, she could not ignore the peerless beauty of the Snow Emperor.
Pufferfish Douluo continued, his expression somewhat grave.
"That woman in the white dress is very strong; her strength is likely far above both Snake Lance and myself."
"She carries a lethal sense of oppression about her, a feeling I have never even experienced from the Second Worship."
"Only from the First Worship have I felt something similar!"
As he said this, Pufferfish Douluo felt his throat go dry.
He himself found it hard to believe.
What kind of figure was the First Worship?
He was one of the three great mountains of the soul master world a century ago.
The invincible Angel Douluo of the skies, a genuine Limit Douluo!
