A Big Customer Delivered to His Door

In the crowd, Yu Tianheng frowned, his gaze full of hostility as he looked at Mo Lin.

Yu Tianheng did not know Mo Lin. More precisely, the other boy's existence was not worth his attention.

A mere live-in son-in-law of the Ye Family-how could someone like that catch the eye of a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

But although he did not know Mo Lin, someone else did.

"Boss, his name is Mo Lin. He's the child groom Ye Lingling's family raised for her."

"Child groom?"

Yu Tianheng was puzzled. He seemed to have some impression of that.

He searched his memory carefully before finally recalling that there did indeed seem to be such a person.

Dugu Yan had mentioned him a few times, her words full of disdain, but looking at things now, that did not seem to be the case.

Oh, no! Had someone raided his home base?

An unpleasant thought instantly surfaced in his mind.

But this was not idle speculation. After all, if the other boy could win over a favored daughter of heaven like Ye Lingling, he clearly had some skill in that department.

Given the relationship between Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, perhaps spending enough time around him might have changed her impression of him, too.

On top of that, he had been busy cultivating lately and had paid noticeably less attention to Dugu Yan. If the other boy really had raided his home base, he would truly cough up blood.

"Go, find someone to investigate this brat. See how many times Dugu Yan has been in contact with him lately."

Yu Tianheng turned and gave an order to the underling beside him.

He was about to leave Heaven Dou City, so investigating personally was out of the question. He could only entrust the investigation to his family's forces.

He certainly did not dare take direct action against Dugu Yan. If he really angered her, she would fetch her grandfather to beat him up in no time.

Dugu Bo was notoriously protective of his own. When the time came, even his grandfather Yu Yuanzhen would not be able to protect him.

After making all the arrangements, Yu Tianheng's mood did not improve.

Instead, everything about Mo Lin now rubbed him the wrong way. He was nothing but a useless freeloader living off a woman. How dare someone like that touch his woman?

The personalities of Soul Masters who awakened beast martial souls were connected to the martial souls they awakened.

Soul Masters with dragon martial souls usually had an extremely strong possessive streak, most noticeably those with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Coupled with the domineering atmosphere of the entire clan, it had the worst reputation among the Upper Three Sects.

After all, nobody liked people who resorted to violence at the slightest disagreement.

Meanwhile, Mo Lin, who was chatting with Dugu Yan, had long since noticed the commotion around Yu Tianheng.

His perception was exceptionally keen. He had heard every word Yu Tianheng's group had said.

Well, would you look at that. Trouble out of nowhere.

He felt helpless, but did not take it too much to heart.

After all, this was Heaven Dou City. Even the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not act with impunity here.

After chatting with Dugu Yan, Mo Lin found Ye Lingling again. Under a host of gazes that looked ready to kill, he hugged her goodbye and left.

Returning to the little shop he had opened, Mo Lin sat behind the counter.

Just as he closed his eyes to rest and consider what to do next-

A figure suddenly walked into the shop.

Soul tools? How unusual. Someone actually came to a shop like this.

He opened his eyes. The newcomer was a handsome middle-aged man.

The man wore ordinary clothes, but the aura emanating from him seemed somewhat strange.

A Titled Douluo? Someone from Spirit Hall?

The man concealed his aura very well, but to Mo Lin, that concealment might as well not have existed.

Energy control, one of the four great talents granted by the Wolffy Template.

It gave him an exceptionally keen ability to sense anything with energy flowing through it.

Never mind a Titled Douluo-even a deity could forget about escaping his perception.

"Hey, young fellow, what are you looking at? Say, are you the only clerk here? Where's your boss?"

Seeing Mo Lin staring at him, the middle-aged man could not help asking.

"I'm the owner. May I ask if you're here to buy something?"

He confirmed that the man was not from Spirit Hall. After all, someone from Spirit Hall would not come here casually.

Even if they did, Qian Renxue would notify him in advance.

And although there were a few Titled Douluo here in Heaven Dou City-

Apart from Dugu Bo, there were only three.

Yu Yuanzhen, the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Yu Yuanzhen remained deep within his clan's territory year-round and generally did not venture out.

Moreover, possessors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul naturally carried a savage aura and lightning-attribute energy.

The person before him clearly had neither, which meant he belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Chen Xin could be ruled out immediately. After all, sword users had such distinctive traits-a complete stereotype.

With those two excluded, only one person remained.

Good grief, was there something wrong with this location?

He had only opened his shop a few days ago. How had two Titled Douluo already visited in succession?

He had clearly come here for some peace and quiet. How had things gone against his wishes?

"You're the owner? Kid, you're not joking with me, are you?"

At his words, Gu Rong gave Mo Lin an intrigued look, as though he were examining an interesting toy.

"Does Heaven Dou City have a rule saying someone my age can't open a shop and be the owner?"

Mo Lin answered with a question. Since the man had not revealed his identity, he could simply treat him as an ordinary customer.

He had nothing to do right now anyway. As long as the man did not cause trouble, he was quite willing to toy with him a little.

"Well, no."

Gu Rong did not get angry at Mo Lin's blunt words.

In his eyes, the boy was just a child. Being young and hotheaded was perfectly normal.

"But you're not doing a very good job as an owner. I'm a customer, after all, and your service really leaves something to be desired."

As Gu Rong spoke, he looked around at his leisure.

He had originally just been passing by when he happened to discover that a shop had opened here.

The sign outside said it sold soul tools. Finding that novel, he had come in to take a look.

He had not expected the owner to be a half-grown boy, which surprised him somewhat.

Soul tools? A boy? Those two things looked incongruous together no matter how he considered them.

After all, soul tools were antiques. Young people generally liked new things. Why would one like something so old-fashioned?

"You're a customer? How come I couldn't tell?"

"You didn't look at the goods or ask about prices. You opened your mouth and asked for the owner straight away. You say you're a customer-who would believe that?"

Mo Lin's attitude toward Gu Rong was not particularly good. More precisely, it carried a measure of prejudice.

For no other reason than that the man belonged to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and there was a relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Nine Heart Begonia that was difficult to put into words.

They were not enemies, but their relationship was certainly not friendly.

"You little brat."

Faced with Mo Lin's well-reasoned argument, Gu Rong felt somewhat helpless.

He indeed had no intention of buying anything, but the boy's attitude, as though he wanted to drive him out, was truly irritating.

A dignified Titled Douluo had walked into a shop only to be chased out. Who could put up with that?

No, he had to win back his dignity!
