Childhood Sweethearts Can't Compete with a Surprise Arrival?

Seeing that the matter was over, Ye Yun also let out a breath of relief.

"Beep, beep, beep—"

His phone suddenly rang.

Ye Yun picked it up and saw that Xiao Wu was calling.

"Hello? Did you call me for something?"

"Brother, Rongrong and I are hiding under the bed right now. What's going on outside? It's so scary!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's slightly trembling voice, Ye Yun's heart softened, and he comforted her gently.

"Don't be scared. It was a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall. He's already been beaten back. I'll come find you right now."

"Mm-hmm! Brother, come quickly. My legs are a little weak."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

The call ended. Ye Yun put away his phone and lifted his foot, intending to go find Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. But just as he had taken a few steps, it suddenly darkened in front of him, his entire field of vision shrouded by a shadow.

His steps paused, and he subconsciously turned to look. Qian Renxue was standing behind him, her face dark, her eyes filled with displeasure.

"I clearly told you before to stay where you were and wait obediently." Qian Renxue's tone carried a hint of severity. "That soul-power fluctuation just now was so violent that with your strength, even the slightest touch of it would have been enough to kill you."

Ye Yun sensed the trace of worry at the bottom of her eyes. Good grief, had she really thrown herself into the role of a good older sister?

He gathered his thoughts, looked at Qian Renxue's still-dark expression, and honestly admitted his mistake. "I know I was wrong. Next time I absolutely won't run around. I'll stay where I am and wait for you obediently."

Hearing him give in, Qian Renxue's taut expression eased slightly, but her eyes still carried irritation.

"It's good that you know you were wrong."

At this point, Qian Renxue's brows furrowed faintly, and her tone became a little more solemn. "Don't always think you can take reckless risks just because you're lucky. In the face of an absolute gap in strength, any fluke is meaningless."

Ye Yun nodded helplessly in agreement, looking as if whatever she said was right.

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi, who had been watching the two of them from the other side, nodded. Xiao Xue was someone who valued affection and loyalty. She had only just joined the sect, yet she already had the resolve to give her life.

Her loyalty was plain to see. Since she had such a good relationship with Xiao Yun, that was a good thing too. She could be nurtured as one of their core members.

Seeing that Qian Renxue still wanted to keep preaching, Ye Yun hurriedly spoke up to interrupt her and change the subject.

"Sister Xue'er, let's not talk about this for now. I need to hurry and find Rongrong and Xiao Wu. They were badly frightened just now. Do you want to come with me?"

At his words, Qian Renxue paused, studied Ye Yun for a couple of glances, and seeing his obedient, remorseful expression, she ultimately did not continue scolding him. She nodded lightly.

Ye Yun secretly let out a huge sigh of relief, unable to stop himself from wildly complaining inside.

This is ridiculous. Qian Renxue is clearly in the prime of her youth, cool and breathtakingly beautiful, so why does she keep nagging me like an old mother? What gentle older sister? She's simply worrying way too much.

Just as he was grumbling inwardly, a warm, slightly cool little hand suddenly reached over on its own initiative and gently took his palm.

The touch was soft and delicate, carrying a faint coolness that instantly brought Ye Yun's thoughts to an abrupt halt.

All right, I was wrong. An older sister like this isn't so bad either.

As soon as they arrived at Ning Rongrong's room, Ye Yun pushed the door open with practiced ease and called toward the bedroom.

"Rongrong, Xiao Wu, I'm here."

"Click—"

The bedroom door was pushed open, and Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong's two petite figures immediately rushed out, scampering up to Ye Yun and clinging tightly to his arms from left and right.

"Brother! It's so good that you're okay!"

Xiao Wu's voice was soft, carrying the lingering fear she had only just calmed down from. She pressed tightly against Ye Yun, afraid that even the slightest accident might befall him.

Ye Yun raised his hand and gently rubbed Xiao Wu's head, softly comforting her with a couple of words, then also soothed the startled Ning Rongrong.

After Ning Rongrong steadied her emotions, her curious gaze immediately landed on Qian Renxue behind Ye Yun.

She pouted slightly, her face full of confusion, and stared at this unfamiliar, stunningly beautiful woman as she asked, "Hey! Who are you? How come I've never seen you before?"

Hearing this, Ye Yun helplessly raised his hand and lightly tapped Ning Rongrong's little forehead.

"Don't be rude."

He then introduced her with a smile. "This is Xiao Xue. She'll be following me from now on. You two, remember to call her Sister Xue."

Ning Rongrong's eyes narrowed. Her father had told her that when she grew up, he would marry her to Brother Yun.

Now there was suddenly such a beautiful older sister beside Brother Yun. Could this be the "girlfriend dropping from the sky" in storybooks?

They all said childhood sweethearts couldn't beat someone who fell from the sky. I'm not going to end up the losing dog, am I?!

Qian Renxue also sensed the wariness and dislike in Ning Rongrong's eyes, and immediately felt somewhat baffled.

At the same time, elsewhere.

After Golden Crocodile Douluo left the area where Ye Yun and the others were, he soon found the two figures who had been lying low in the shadows nearby in advance.

They were none other than Snake Spear Douluo, She Long, and Pufferfish Douluo, Ci Xue, who had been ordered to wait here.

Sensing the familiar aura, the two hurriedly stepped out of the shadows, their postures incomparably respectful as they bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Second Worship."

Golden Crocodile Douluo gave a slight nod, not the slightest trace of a smile on his face. In its place was a thick, simmering anger.

The terrifying pressure of a rank ninety-eight Title Douluo was suddenly unleashed, descending heavily over the two of them.

That dense, domineering soul power was like a mountain pressing down on them, instantly making Snake Spear Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo sink under the weight. Even their breathing turned sluggish, and they did not dare raise their heads to meet his gaze.

After several seconds of silence, Golden Crocodile Douluo's low, hoarse voice boomed out, filled with fury.

"What exactly were you two doing?!

"You actually allowed Xue'er to sneak into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as an undercover agent? How bold of you!"

Snake Spear Douluo felt utterly wronged. Fine beads of cold sweat had already seeped out across his forehead, and under the pressure of a rank ninety-eight powerhouse, he did not even dare breathe too loudly.

"Second Worship, the two of us truly did everything we could to stop her! You know the Young Master's temperament as well—she has always been stubborn and headstrong. She insisted on going undercover in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We simply couldn't stop her. We were truly powerless!"

Beside him, Pufferfish Douluo also hurriedly bowed and echoed him, his face full of panic, not daring to offer even half a word of argument.

But that explanation did nothing to quell Golden Crocodile Douluo's anger.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing deep within them, and the majestic pressure surged several degrees again, locking firmly onto the two of them.

His icy voice fell without the slightest trace of leniency. "I do not want to hear your nonsense or excuses!

"Xue'er's status is noble. She is the future hope of my Spirit Hall. If anything happens to her in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, even if she merely suffers the slightest grievance, the two of you will bring me your heads!"

After that, Golden Crocodile Douluo gave a cold snort and flew toward Spirit Hall.

There was no way to hide the commotion at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Rather than be called to account, it was better to go and plead guilty on his own initiative.

Only after Golden Crocodile Douluo's figure had completely vanished into the distance did that mountain-like pressure slowly dissipate.

Snake Spear Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo were drenched in sweat, their clothes already soaked through with cold perspiration. They looked as if they had just been fished out of the water, gasping for breath again and again.

Snake Spear Douluo let out a long sigh, his tone full of helplessness and lingering fear. "Sigh... If I'd known we'd end up in this situation, I would have stopped the Young Master no matter what back then. Even if I had to tie her up by force, I absolutely couldn't have let her go undercover in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Hearing this, Pufferfish Douluo immediately rolled his eyes. "What use is saying that now? Talk about hindsight."
