I'm a Military General, I Don't Read!

Looking at the slender hand extended back toward him, Jiang Yuan was a little puzzled, but on the principle that one did not strike a smiling face, he prepared to reach out.

"Na'er!"

But just then, Na'er suddenly cut in, seizing Dugu Yan's hand one step ahead of him, her expression wary as she stared at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling froze as well.

Dugu Yan's gaze moved back and forth between the two of them. In the end, she nodded, withdrew her hand, and looked at Na'er. "You were the one bidding against me at the auction just now, weren't you?"

"Bidding against you?"

Na'er looked a little naturally clueless, staring at Dugu Yan in total confusion.

"I didn't steal anything. Isn't an auction won by the highest bidder?"

"If you wanted it, you could've just bid higher than me."

Jiang Yuan seemed to hear the sound of a heart shattering.

When Na'er, wearing an expression that said she genuinely had no idea, spoke such heart-piercing words, Dugu Yan felt a thick malice from the entire world.

Damn rich people!

Seeing her best friend struck so hard she was practically shutting down, Ye Lingling quickly spoke up to explain, "There was something at the auction just now that this friend of mine liked very much. We stopped you because we wanted to ask if you could trade it to us."

As someone from a family that stood in the soul master world as an auxiliary type, Ye Lingling understood deeply that if someone could be made a friend, they should not be made an enemy.

Dugu Yan blocking Jiang Yuan and Na'er's path had carried a hint of provocation, and Ye Lingling was worried she would bring some enemy down on the two of them, so before Dugu Yan could blurt out some outrageous line, she hurriedly made their actions sound reasonable.

"No. Na'er likes the auction items too. I won't give them to anyone."

Although Na'er did not know which item Ye Lingling was talking about, the domineering nature in her heart made her unwilling to share anything she liked with anyone.

"Not even if I pay double the price?"

Dugu Yan likewise had the spoiled temperament of a young lady. As Dugu Bo's granddaughter, no one had ever refused her like this.

"If you have money, why didn't you bid just now at the auction?" Na'er shot back directly.

Dugu Yan was momentarily at a loss for words. Wasn't it because she had taken a liking to too many things and had been afraid of affecting the later bidding? In the end, she had failed to get a single thing she liked.

"Brother Jiang Yuan, let's go. Ignore this bad woman."

Seeing that she had choked Dugu Yan into silence, Na'er made a face and hooked Jiang Yuan's arm, about to leave.

Jiang Yuan nodded with a soft laugh. He did not take this little friction to heart.

In fact, if Dugu Bo learned about this and wanted to come knock him out with a sneak attack, that would suit him perfectly.

"Yanyan, what happened?"

Just as Jiang Yuan had taken two steps, a stiff voice came from the side of the street.

Three tall men were walking together toward Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling. The one in the middle wore a fitted blue outfit, his face stiff, and his eyes carried a trace of surprise and delight as he looked at Dugu Yan.

The other two boys were a pair of burly twins, who nodded expressionlessly at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

"Senior Yu Tianheng! Senior Shi Mo, Senior Shi Mo!"

Dugu Yan frowned slightly. She felt somewhat repulsed by Yu Tianheng calling her Yanyan, but there were more important things right now, so she did not correct him. She only called out to the three of them politely.

As for Ye Lingling, facing the three of them, she seemed to turn into a shut-in girl. After giving a light nod, she hid behind Dugu Yan.

Hearing how Dugu Yan addressed him, a flicker of disappointment crossed Yu Tianheng's eyes. Then he turned to look at Jiang Yuan and Na'er, amazement appearing in his gaze as he said, "Do you need my help?"

"This is my own business. I don't need anyone else's help." Dugu Yan shook her head and refused Yu Tianheng.

The fist beneath Yu Tianheng's sleeve tightened, and slight irritation rose in his heart. From childhood to now, as the sect's favored genius, girls had always revolved around him. Now, on the contrary, he kept running into walls with Dugu Yan.

If not for the fact that Dugu Yan had a Titled Douluo grandfather, he would not have needed to spend so much effort trying to please her.

A Titled Douluo grandfather could add a great deal to his standing in the sect, after all.

After all, the position of young sect master had yet to be decided, and Yu Tianxin was watching him like a tiger eyeing its prey.

"Friends, I am Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. I wonder if you could part with that item and sell it to me. Tianheng will surely remember this kindness from you both."

Yu Tianheng took a deep breath and walked straight in front of Jiang Yuan and Na'er, speaking in a stiff tone.

"Who are you?"

"What use do I have for your kindness? I only need Brother Jiang Yuan's."

"Brother Jiang Yuan, is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect very strong?"

Na'er looked at Yu Tianheng, who was blocking her and Jiang Yuan, and frowned slightly, displeasure rising in her heart. She turned to Jiang Yuan and asked curiously.

"This is why I tell you to read more books."

"You don't even know the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects and the world's number one beast martial soul."

Jiang Yuan looked at Na'er with a face full of indulgence and tapped her nose as he spoke.

As a pure martial artist and bodyguard, Na'er fully demonstrated what it meant to have put all her talent points into combat power, without a single point in intelligence.

Or rather, she simply did not like studying.

"The world's number one beast martial soul?"

"Didn't Grandpa Golden Crocodile say that was you, Brother Jiang Yuan? Where did this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon pop out from?"

Na'er did not feel the pressure at all, looking at Jiang Yuan in complete bewilderment.

"Friend, I hope you take back what you just said."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect will not be insulted!"

After Na'er said those two lines, Yu Tianheng's expression changed at once. He looked at Jiang Yuan and Na'er with open hostility, blue lightning flashing through his eyes like a ferocious beast ready to devour someone.

The Shi brothers, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling also stared at Na'er in astonishment.

They had never imagined someone would actually dare get right in the face of a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan and hit them where it hurt. Everyone knew they valued the title of the world's number one beast martial soul more than anyone else.

Of course, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect really did live up to it and could sit firmly in that position.

"Na'er was telling the truth. Why should she take back the truth?"

Na'er's expression also cooled. Do not think that just because she was a sweet, adorable girl in front of Jiang Yuan, she was like that with everyone. Ask anyone from Spirit Hall's Talent Training Camp and you would know.

She was the notoriously rule-breaking "little witch."

"Good! Very good!"

"Then let's settle this the way soul masters do. Everything will be decided in the spirit arena."

"Fine, fight it is! You think I'm scared of you just because you've got that zombie face?"

Yu Tianheng's expression darkened even further. With a cold snort, he was the first to stride toward the spirit arena.

Fighting was forbidden within Heaven Dou City. If there was a dispute, it was usually settled in the Great Spirit Fighting Arena.

"Brother Jiang Yuan, let's go. Watch me beat him into a pig's head."

Na'er tugged Jiang Yuan along, following Yu Tianheng toward the Great Spirit Fighting Arena with an indignant look on her face.

This guy was even more annoying than Yan. She was definitely going to beat him until he could not tell north from south.
