Yu Luomian's Recruitment and Threat

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, full of complaints and mockery, Yu Luomian, who knew the whole story, did not look pleased either.

Yu Tianheng lowered his head even more meekly, shrinking behind Yu Luomian like a quail and not daring to glance at Dugu Yan again.

"Hmph, Dugu Bo, don't just criticize others. Look at yourself—looking like that, do you think any young person would dare speak to you?! Tianheng's reaction was perfectly normal! You can't blame everything on him. He was anxious just now too!"

Yu Luomian spoke in a rather unconfident tone.

Anyone could tell that those words were nothing more than a ridiculous attempt to save face.

But one could lose the argument without losing face. How could he allow himself to be left speechless? No matter what, he had to take a jab at the other side.

Yet after hearing Yu Luomian's words, Dugu Bo, who should have been rendered speechless with rage, merely sneered unusually.

"Hmph, Yu Tianheng is only one example and can't represent everyone. I was having a wonderful chat with little friend Xiao Yu just now! I was even thinking of marrying Yanyan to him once he grows up!"

"What?!"

Yu Luomian frowned slightly at Dugu Bo's words, while Yu Tianheng beside him was utterly shocked.

Someone could actually hold a conversation with that old monster? Did he change his temperament?

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan unusually did not refute him. Her face was merely flushed, and even the tips of her ears had turned red.

That bashful sight made Yu Tianheng's heart stir even more.

As for Liu Erlong, who stood nearby, upon hearing Dugu Bo say that he wanted to marry Dugu Yan to Xiao Yu, she somehow felt terribly uncomfortable. Yet she could not figure out what was wrong. All she knew was that her heart ached terribly, while an inexplicable sourness filled her mouth. Liu Erlong immediately picked up her cup and drained it in one gulp.

"Tsk tsk, Dugu Bo, you're quite casual when it comes to choosing a son-in-law. You don't want a proper, outstanding direct descendant of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?! Instead, you want some wild brat from who knows where?!"

Yu Luomian sneered.

"Yu Luomian, shut your mouth! What do you mean, wild brat? Xiao Yu is my disciple! His talent is exceptional!! In just one year, his Soul Power rose from level 0.5 to level 10! His talent is far better than that of many disciples in the clan!"

The moment Liu Erlong heard someone insulting Xiao Yu, her fiery temper could no longer be contained.

She immediately roared in fury.

"What?!"

Yu Luomian was not the only one whose expression changed in shock upon hearing this.

Even Dugu Bo beside Xiao Yu was stunned.

He had assumed Xiao Yu was a genius with Innate Soul Power of at least level eight or nine, but he had never expected Xiao Yu's Innate Soul Power to be so low?!

And he had actually cultivated from level 0.5 to level 10 in only one year.

How was that possible?

Normally, those with low Innate Soul Power usually had poor martial soul bloodlines and could not achieve much in the future!

But why had this boy changed so drastically?!

Hearing Liu Erlong's words, Yu Luomian finally examined Xiao Yu seriously once more.

He had not realized it before, but once he looked closely, he was startled. No wonder Dugu Bo had taken a liking to him.

Though he looked only seven years old, he was actually already a Soul Master.

Yet judging from his bones, he did not seem like someone with low Innate Soul Power.

But with Erlong's temperament, she could not possibly be lying.

What exactly was going on?

Yu Luomian weighed the matter in his heart.

"Your name is Xiao Yu?"

"This junior is Xiao Yu. Greetings, Senior!"

"Not bad. You have some bearing. How about it? Are you interested in joining my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and becoming an outer disciple of our sect?! If you meet my requirements, I can even make an exception and take you as my personal disciple! With the support of the sect's second-in-command, your future achievements certainly will not be low!"

Yu Luomian said with a faint smile.

He then cast Dugu Bo a provocative glance.

Yu Luomian believed that no child could refuse the temptation of recruitment by the second greatest sect in the world.

After all, this was an opportunity to rise to the heavens in a single step.

Noticing Yu Luomian's provocative gaze, Dugu Bo said nothing. Instead, he simply looked at Yu Luomian with a cold sneer.

Seeing Dugu Bo's sneer, Yu Luomian frowned, his face filled with confusion.

Then he heard Xiao Yu speak.

"My apologies, Senior, but there is only one teacher I will acknowledge in this life, and that is Teacher Erlong."

Hearing this, Yu Luomian looked in surprise at Liu Erlong, whose face was currently full of pride.

Still unwilling to give up, he said, "It's fine. Joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan won't affect your status as Erlong's disciple! After all, she is my—"

"No. In this life, I will only be Teacher Erlong's disciple, and I will only belong to Blue Tyrant Academy. I will not join any other faction. Xiao Yu thanks Senior for your kind regard, but Teacher Erlong helped me when I was at my most hopeless. How could I abandon her?"

Looking at Xiao Yu, who had rejected him once again, Yu Luomian was somewhat dumbfounded.

At that moment, he finally understood what Dugu Bo's earlier look had meant.

Dugu Bo must have tried to take Xiao Yu as his disciple several times already and been rejected several times, or else he would not have remained so unmoved.

Seeing Xiao Yu speak with such righteous conviction, Liu Erlong's eyes could not help but fill with satisfaction.

Yet after hearing Xiao Yu's words, Liu Erlong could not help feeling guilty.

After all, she had only brought him back to the academy because he reminded her of Xiao Gang. Her reasons had not been nearly as noble as Xiao Yu made them sound.

"Boy, are you refusing recruitment from me, the vice sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?! Have you considered the consequences?"

Yu Luomian's expression darkened as he spoke.

"Yu Luomian, what do you mean?! Xiao Yu is mine. You dare touch him?! Believe it or not, I'll fight you to the death!"

Seeing that Yu Luomian actually intended to use force, Liu Erlong immediately leaped in front of Xiao Yu and stared at Yu Luomian with a stern expression.

The guilt she had felt moments ago instantly turned into rage, the kind that could explode at the slightest spark.

Dugu Bo beside them also spoke up.

"Yu Luomian, don't push your luck. Xiao Yu has already refused you, so what more do you want?! Let me tell you, Xiao Yu is Yanyan's savior. If you want to touch him, how about I take a stroll around your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for a few days?"

Hearing Dugu Bo actually threaten him over a mere Xiao Yu, Yu Luomian, who cared deeply about face, looked rather unpleasant.

Yet the more they spoke this way, the more Yu Luomian, with his discerning eye, felt that Xiao Yu needed to be brought into the clan.

After all, satisfying Erlong was nothing special, but if he could make Dugu Bo take him seriously, this boy surely possessed some other ability.

Still, given the current situation, Yu Luomian felt it was not appropriate to fall out with Dugu Bo directly. Moreover, he wanted to ease his relationship with Erlong, since she was his daughter.

Then another thought occurred to him. Xiao Yu was Erlong's disciple anyway, so there would be plenty of chances to win him over in the future. There was no need to rush now. Besides, perhaps using this boy to mend his relationship with Erlong would be a good option as well!
