Chapter 88: Intentional

"Stone! Graphite! Are you guys, okay?"

Yu Tian Heng walked to the edge of the arena, a triumphant look on his face as he peered at the two brothers who had fallen.

"We're fine! Hmph! If your soul power level wasn't a bit higher than ours, the outcome might have been different!"

"Exactly! My brother is right!"

stone mill chimed in on the side.

Yu Tian Heng had only recently joined the Royal Battle Team, and his relationship with the others was not as close as it would later become.

"Hehe." Yu Tian Heng smiled indifferently. "Well, you still ganged up on us!"

"You! Hmph!" The two brothers snorted coldly, speechless.

"Ah~ Everyone is teammates. Why bother caring about the outcome at this moment?"

Yu feng walked over from the side. With Teacher Qin Ming absent, he had to step forward and play the peacemaker role.

The mill brothers didn't say anything, walking to the side together to recover their soul power.

With a smile on his lips, Yu Tian Heng ignored Yu feng and turned directly towards Dugu Yan's direction.

"Tsk! What's there to be proud of~" Yu feng sneered, feeling uncomfortable with Yu Tian Heng 's attitude.

"Huh!" The corner of his eye caught a slender figure in black, accompanied by a man. Yu Feng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Lingling, why did you just arrive? And you brought such a handsome guy with you!"

"Huh?"

Yu Feng's voice attracted the attention of others.

Especially when they heard that there was someone of the opposite sex accompanying Ye Lingling, they became even more curious.

Even the recovering mill brothers couldn't help but glance over.

"Lingling!"

Dugu Yan stood up and walked straight towards Ye Lingling.

Yu Tian Heng , who had just arrived at her side, was ignored, and he felt embarrassed.

He could only follow along.

Ye Lingling directly ignored Yu Feng's voice. This was her usual style.

Beside him, Ye Qiu also scanned the surroundings. From their appearance, he could already identify each one of them.

However, when he saw Dugu Yan, Ye Qiu was surprised.

In his memory, Dugu Yan had purple hair and green eyes.

Now, her purple hair had mostly turned green.

Could it be that her toxins had really erupted in advance?

Except for the mill brothers, the other four gathered around.

"Hey, Lingling, isn't this your sweetheart?" Osler stepped forward, seriously sizing up Ye Qiu. Even he felt a bit jealous of Ye Qiu's appearance.

"Osler! What nonsense are you talking about? Want to taste my snake venom?"

Ye Lingling still ignored him. Dugu Yan, who had come over, had already begun to speak up for her.

" Sister Yan, I'm just joking. I can't stand her poison~ Give it to Yu feng. I think he wants to try!"

"Osler! Are you looking for a one-on-one again!"

Yu feng, who hadn't expected to be attacked even while lying down, shouted, declaring that he wanted to duel with Osler.

"Hmph!" Dugu Yan snorted, ignoring them.

Holding Ye Lingling's arm, she said, "Lingling, you finally came! Aren't you going to introduce us?"

Dugu Yan's gaze turned towards Ye Qiu, and her brows furrowed.

This guy had been staring at her all this time!

But, for Ye Lingling's sake, she didn't erupt.

Just arrived, Yu Tian Heng naturally also noticed Ye Qiu's gaze.

Alarm bells rang in his mind.

"This guy! Could he also be here to pursue Dugu Yan?"

Especially with Ye Qiu's outstanding appearance and seemingly having a connection with Ye Lingling, it made him somewhat uneasy.

"Yan Zi, is your body okay now?"

Facing Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling's voice didn't sound as lonely and hollow. There was some vitality in it.

"For now, there's nothing major. By the way, who is this guy?"

Dugu Yan's tone became colder as she asked about the blue-haired man.

The guy with blue hair was still looking at her, and he seemed to be frowning.

Ye Lingling turned her head to look, also noticing Ye Qiu's state. Just as she was about to call him.

However, another voice spoke faster than her.

"Kid! Watch your eyes!"

The voice, filled with anger and arrogance, belonged to Yu Tian Heng.

The attention of everyone shifted to Ye Qiu.

Finally, Ye Qiu stopped pondering. Regardless of the situation, if there was a real issue with Dugu Yan's body, his chances would be better.

Thinking about it, Dugu Bo should be quite anxious by now!

"Sorry, I was thinking about something just now!"

Ye Qiu apologized to Dugu Yan, nodding slightly to express his regret.

Unexpectedly, Yu Tian Heng was relentless, continuing to provoke.

"Hmph! Keep your eyes in check. If you dare to look recklessly again, you won't be spared!"

"That's enough! Yu Tian Heng, he's someone Lingling brought. Watch your words!"

Dugu Yan's voice proved to be effective.

After glaring at Ye Qiu, Yu Tian Heng crossed his arms, standing next to Dugu Yan like a guardian.

"This guy, as Ye Lingling said, is indeed quite domineering!"

Ye Qiu thought to himself, glancing at him and then shifting his attention elsewhere.

He had just seen Yu Tian Heng's move, and the fluctuation of his soul power seemed to have just broken through level 35.

At most, he could withstand one of Ye Qiu's Tsukuyomi attacks.

If he really disturbed him, Ye Qiu wouldn't mind letting Yu Tian Heng lie in bed for a couple of months.

Seeing that he had returned to normal, Ye Lingling introduced him to Dugu Yan.

"Yan Zi, this is Ye Qiu. He's here to find you!"

Her introduction was straightforward, without any attempt to conceal the details.

Name and purpose, that's all that mattered!

...

Ye Qiu looked at Ye Lingling in shock.

"Big sis! Can't you tell her privately about these things?"

He was originally adopting an attitude of 'the less said, the better.' Now, it seemed difficult.

As her words fell, everyone's eyes turned towards Ye Qiu.

The biggest reaction came from Yu Tian Heng, his eyes widening with a serious look.

"I wonder which family this guy belongs to. Could he have received some news and rushed over?"

Dugu Yan's eyes showed curiosity, mixed with disgust, especially when she glanced at Yu Tian Heng, the disgust intensified.

On the other hand, Yu feng and Osler admired him more. They took a few steps back, as if expecting something to happen.

Ye Lingling felt Ye Qiu's gaze and met his eyes with encouragement, as if telling him to hang in there!

Was this intentional?

Ye Qiu realized suddenly. He remembered that she had said she wanted him to drive away Yu Tian Heng.

Looking at Yu Tian Heng, he seemed unable to hold back, appearing somewhat anxious.

The warning in Dugu Yan's eyes when she looked at Ye Qiu was clear!

Since everything was out in the open, Ye Qiu decided not to conceal anything.

"Miss Dugu Yan, I did come to find you. I wonder if we could have a private conversation!"

Ye Qiu stared directly at her, his voice neither humble nor overbearing, issuing an invitation for a private conversation.

He completely ignored the warning in Yu Tian Heng's eyes.

Before Dugu Yan could respond, Yu Tian Heng took action.

"Kid! What kind of attention are you talking about? Can you see Dugu Yan whenever you want?"

His voice was loud, taking a step forward with lightning flashing around him.

It seemed like he was ready to start a fight at any moment.

He hadn't even had a chance to spend time alone with Dugu Yan yet, how could he let someone else take the lead?

Especially a threatening 'pretty boy'!
