Shopping, the Two Girls' Little Schemes, and Another Encounter with the Blue Lightning Three-Second Man
As the once-every-five-years grand event on the mainland approaches, Star Luo City is packed with people, especially Star Luo Avenue near the Star Emperor Hotel, which is completely jammed with crowds.
Due to the massive influx of people, the Star Luo Empire had to deploy tens of thousands of soldiers into the city to maintain order, thus preventing large-scale stampedes or riots.
Jiang Yu released a soft yet highly insulating spatial barrier, ensuring that the three of them were not affected by the crowds and noise from the outside world.
Even so, the three's extraordinary good looks still attracted a lot of attention.
Occasionally, some bolder individuals would try to strike up a conversation, but before they could get very close, they would suddenly run into an invisible and intangible wall. By the time the wall disappeared, Jiang Yu and his two companions had already vanished into the crowd.
"This is so boring. Did we come out to shop or to see people?"
After less than half an hour of wandering around, Wu Feng's interest was swallowed up by the crowded people. He was dragged along by Ning Tian, looking listless, as if all his energy had been drained.
Ning Tian, on the other hand, seemed quite interested.
Being able to go out with both her best friend and the guy she likes is a happy thing in itself, not to mention that she's been under a lot of pressure lately and definitely needs to vent.
Jiang Yu glanced at the two women, whose states were completely opposite, smiled, and said nothing.
When a guy accompanies a girl shopping, his physical strength and energy will be reduced to one-tenth of his peak. But unfortunately, Jiang Yu is no different from a human dragon, and one-tenth of his energy is enough to accompany Ning Tian to have a great time shopping.
On the contrary, Wu Feng, who is also a woman, seemed to have no interest in shopping at all. Her mind was filled with nothing but thoughts of how to woo Ning Tian and fighting.
And that is indeed the case.
If Ning Tian hadn't taken the initiative to hold Wu Feng's hand tightly, giving Wu Feng the motivation, Wu Feng would have really had the urge to turn back immediately.
Of course, she didn't dare leave.
Because she left, Jiang Yu and Ning Tian would be alone together.
Both were young men and women in the prime of their youth. Ning Tian's feelings for Jiang Yu were almost obvious, not to mention that Jiang Yu had a strong possessive and controlling desire for both of them.
What Wu Feng feared was that if she left, Ning Tian would become confused and be taken advantage of by Jiang Yu, or even go straight to the point of no return. In that case, even if she cried herself to death, it would be too late to save him.
To protect Ning Tian, Wu Feng believed that no matter how hard or tiring it was, he had to follow along.
In case Jiang Yu really "goes berserk," she should step forward and sacrifice herself to protect Ning Tian!
Anyway, Jiang Yu had already taken advantage of her to the fullest extent... In other words, the barefoot have nothing to fear, so she had nothing left to be afraid of!
After wandering around for almost half an hour, Wu Feng thought that entrusting Ning Tian to Jiang Yu wasn't necessarily a bad idea.
After all, the other person was her childhood sweetheart, whom she had grown up with since she was little. She knew Jiang Yu very well, and based on her understanding of him, he would never do such a thing.
Just as Wu Feng was debating whether or not to run away, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye and then stopped in her tracks.
Ning Tian paused for a moment, startled by her tugging, and turned around, asking in confusion:
"What's wrong, Fengmei? If you're tired, you can go back first. Xiao Yu and I will walk around some more."
Jiang Yu standing to the side, almost burst out laughing when she heard this.
The truth has been revealed, Miss Ning Tian.
It seems that after the initial joy, Ning Tian was also hoping that Wu Feng, this "third wheel," could temporarily leave so that the two of them could have some private space.
It wasn't that she didn't want Wu Feng to come along; it was just that she genuinely wanted to have some time alone with Jiang Yu to develop their relationship.
Jiang Yu's brilliance over the years has been so dazzling and dazzling that even Ning Tian felt immense pressure.
Because she felt more and more competition, both visually and mentally, there were countless girls in the Outer Court Jiang Yu as their idol. Ning Tian didn't know much about the situation in the Inner Court, but he guessed it wasn't much better.
If things continue like this, Ning Tian fears that her childhood friendship with Jiang Yu will be diluted by all sorts of women outside. What if one day Jiang Yu brings home a woman who also calls her "Sister Tian" like Jiang Yu? Ning Tian feels that she will really collapse.
Ignoring Ning Tian's attempt to drive them away, Wu Feng, after regaining her senses, grabbed both of them and pulled them to a street corner.
"Fengmei, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at the somewhat eccentric Wu Feng, Ning Tian frowned slightly and asked, puzzled.
"Young Master, look over there! There's an old acquaintance over there!"
Wu Feng peeked out from around the corner, gesturing for the two to quickly look to the other side of the street.
Ning Tian and Jiang Yu a glance, squinting as they peered through the dense crowd towards the other side.
It would have been better if they hadn't looked, because once they did, a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.
Across the street, amidst the bustling crowd, two figures stood out conspicuously.
The two people were a man and a woman. The man had short silver hair and, although not as handsome as Jiang Yu, was still quite good-looking. However, a hint of gloom between his brows disrupted the overall balance, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
The woman had her hair tied in a black ponytail. From the angle of Jiang Yu and the other two, they couldn't see her face clearly, but overall she must have been a rare beauty.
"It's Yu Aotian! That idiot who chased me to our Nine Treasure Mountain last year with that Thunder Douluo and I yelled at him until he passed out, he's actually in Star Luo City too!"
Wu Feng's tone was tinged with excitement.
She had boasted about directly verbally incapacitating Yu Aotian for a whole year. Now that the year had passed, Wu Feng felt that she was fully capable of beating this guy who dared to have ulterior motives towards Ning Tian and even threaten the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School into a dead dog.
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yu's and Ning Tian's eyes. After regaining his composure, Ning Tian pondered for a moment, then analyzed:
"The Soul Fighting Tournament is held every five years, and each tournament attracts the attention of over 90% of the forces across the continent. I heard from the person in charge of the Star Luo City sect that the Star Luo Empire intends to hold an unprecedented auction. This information is only circulating among the top-tier forces on the continent. I think this guy is very likely attracted by this auction."
"Regardless of his reason for coming, Young Master, since Senior Lei is also in Star Luo City, let's just kill this guy outright, so he won't bring his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan out of some corner to annoy us again."
Wu Feng offered his opinion.
"Feng Mei, use your brain a little," Ning Tian said helplessly. "Although this guy is a spoiled idiot, his talent is indeed not bad. The last time we met, he was a fifteen-year-old Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. Now, a year later, his cultivation level is probably above level forty-five. And don't forget, Thunder Douluo values him quite a bit. When he leaves his family, he will definitely be accompanied by a strong person from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and most likely Titled Douluo."
"Leaving aside how we managed to bypass the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's experts and kill him in Star Luo City, even if we did kill him, as long as we leave even the slightest clue that is discovered, then our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be at a disadvantage both morally and logically."
Upon hearing this, Wu Feng scratched his head. "That seems to make sense."
Ning Tian smiled helplessly and looked at Jiang Yu.
"Xiao Yu, what do you think?"
Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, then said:
"Sister Feng is actually right. This guy is eccentric and vindictive. We really offended him last time, so keeping him around is definitely a threat. Meeting him this time is undoubtedly a good opportunity to get rid of him... As for how to kill him, let's go back and discuss it properly. We'll find a way."
