Yu Daoyun hadn't expected Ling Luochеn to ask that question.
He felt a little awkward.
With so many people here, he absolutely couldn't let anything slip.
So Yu Daoyun coughed and said, "Tomorrow's the round of sixteen. We should head back to the hotel and analyze our opponents first. They're very strong, so we need to be careful."
The best way to deal with a question like that was not to answer it.
However, Ling Luochеn quickly saw through his little scheme, and so did Ning Tian.
Ling Luochеn said bluntly, "Xu Jiujiu is interested in you. I'm absolutely sure of it. As a princess of the Star Luo Empire who's still unmarried, she must be hoping to bring you over as her consort."
"Doesn't that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone in your hand look like a betrothal gift?"
Ning Tian immediately protested, her voice sweet and petulant. "Instructor Brother, let's go back. I know you don't like Her Highness the Princess, right?"
"This..."
Yu Daoyun was caught between a rock and a hard place.
The Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone really wasn't all that useful to him. He didn't have an ice Martial Soul, nor did he have a second Martial Soul.
So Yu Daoyun turned to Ling Luochеn and said, "Come to my room tonight. I'll give you a few things."
Ling Luochеn recoiled two steps as if shocked, her gaze trembling slightly.
Ning Tian instantly shifted her ill-intentioned gaze from Xu Jiujiu to Ling Luochеn.
A girl's sixth sense told her that Ling Luochеn was also interested in Instructor Brother.
And Senior Tang Ya, too.
"I have something to do. I'll be going."
Ling Luochеn backed away as if trying to dodge him, then turned and left through the auction house entrance, heading for the hotel.
Just
