Chapter 31: Dugu Yan Wants to Play with Fire!
In the living room.
Ye Qingyi looked at the gleam in Xiao Yin's eyes and smiled slightly:
"This is what Lingling's grandfather found by chance when he was traveling in the East Sea. He found it in the body of a fallen ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea demon whale king. If it can be of use to you, take it."
"This... is too valuable!" Even with Xiao Yin's temperament, he felt a burning sensation.
Although the Ye family does not know the true function of whale glue, the value of the whale glue of the ten-thousand-year-old deep-sea demon whale king is inestimable!
The favor the Ye family has done is too great!
"No matter how valuable something is, it only has value if it is placed in the right place."
Ye Qingyi waved her hand, her tone gentle but unyielding:
"You have done Lingling a favor and have a connection with the Ye family. Even more precious is your pure character and promising future. This item will only truly be useful in your hands. Accept it as a token of Aunt Ye's appreciation."
"Brother Xiao Yin, just accept it! It would be a waste to keep it in our house!" Ye Lingling also whispered, looking at Xiao Yin with sparkling eyes.
Xiao Yin looked at Ye Qingyi's sincere eyes and Ye Lingling's expectant eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He no longer refused and solemnly took the rosewood box containing whale glue with both hands:
"Aunt Ye, Lingling, Xiao Yin will remember this affection in his heart! If you need anything in the future, Xiao Yin will never refuse!"
"You're too kind." Ye Qingyi smiled gently, watching Xiao Yin carefully put away the wooden box, and asked again:
"By the way, Xiao Yin, where are you staying now? Do you have a permanent residence?"
"I am currently staying at Blue Tyrant Academy." Xiao Yin answered truthfully.
"Blue Tyrant Academy?" Ye Qingyi's eyes flashed with understanding, and then she smiled:
"So this is Dean Liu Erlong's territory. It's a good place to be. Although Dean Liu has a hot temper, she is upright and well-known for protecting her shortcomings. It's not bad for you to be there."
She paused and looked at Xiao Yin with a hint of mischief in her eyes: "Since we're close, come to my house more often when you're free. Lingling always talks about you."
She deliberately emphasized the word "nagged", causing Ye Lingling's face to turn slightly red, and she looked at her mother with an angry look.
In fact, it wasn't just Ye Lingling. She didn't know why, but the moment she saw Xiao Yin, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness... It was as if...
Ye Lingling also mustered up the courage and whispered to Xiao Yin, "Brother Xiao Yin, can I... can I come to Blue Tyrant Academy to find you later? I won't disturb your training!"
Seeing the undisguised intimacy and expectation in the girl's eyes, Xiao Yin smiled and nodded: "Of course, you are welcome anytime."
After sitting for a while at the Ye family and tasting the refreshing tea brewed by Ye Qingyi herself, it was already late.
Xiao Yin stood up and said goodbye.
Ye Qingyi personally escorted Xiao Yin to the gate of the mansion. Before leaving, she looked at Xiao Yin and smiled meaningfully:
"Xiao Yin, from now on, treat this place as your home. Come back often, talk to Aunt Ye, and spend time with Lingling. As a young person, it's good to move around more."
The hidden meaning in these words made Xiao Yin feel a little overwhelmed and he could only respond vaguely.
Ye Lingling lowered her head in shame, her ears reddening, and she could only whisper, "Brother Xiao Yin, be careful on the road."
In this regard, Xiao Yin could only say, it really wasn't my initiative!
System: Bah! You're so ungrateful!
-----------------
At the same time, there is a chic manor on the outskirts of the city.
Deep in the manor, the air was filled with the aroma of medicine, and exotic flowers and plants glowed faintly in the moonlight.
Dugu Yan swayed her charming figure and returned to a stone house deep in the manor.
The furnishings in the house were simple, but filled with various bottles and jars and various strange medicinal herbs.
A tall and thin old man in a dark green robe was carefully adding something to a medicine cauldron.
His hair was dark green, his face was gaunt, and his eyes flashed with a dark green light like a poisonous snake.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Dugu Yan's voice was a little lazy.
This person is Dugu Yan's grandfather, the Heaven Dou royal family's worshiper, Poison Douluo - Dugu Bo.
"Um."
Dugu Bo didn't even turn his head, his voice a little hoarse, "Why are you back so late today? Are you hanging out with that kid from the Yu family again?"
"Don't mention him!"
Dugu Yan walked to the chair and sat down, crossing her long legs, a trace of undisguised disappointment flashed in her green eyes.
"It was a truly wonderful show at the Heaven Dou Auction House today."
"Oh?"
Dugu Bo finally stopped what he was doing, turned around, and looked at his granddaughter with interest in his dark green eyes.
The matter must be very complicated to make the arrogant Dugu Yan show such an expression.
"Tell me, what good play could have captured my precious granddaughter's attention?"
Dugu Yan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, a strand of hair entwined between her fingertips, a seductive smile on her lips, and began to recount the conflict on the first floor of the auction house.
She focused on describing how Xiao Yin's gaze had caused Yu Tianheng's momentum to collapse, how he had ignored her invitation, and how Ye Lingling had actively defended him...
Finally, she focused on describing Yu Tianheng's angry and out-of-control look.
"It's really ugly for the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family to look like he can't stand losing."
Dugu Yan's tone was filled with ruthless sarcasm, "Grandpa, do you think a person like this is worthy of me?"
Dugu Bo listened quietly, his green eyes flashing with brilliance, especially when he heard that Xiao Yin's eyes frightened Yu Tianheng's spirit, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"One look to scare the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit?" Dugu Bo's hoarse voice was full of amusement.
"Interesting. What's this kid's name? What's his origin? What's his spirit?"
"My name is Xiao Yin."
Dugu Yan's green eyes showed even more interest. "His origins are unclear. I haven't seen him reveal his spirit... but that aura... is very fierce. Even my Jade Phosphorus Snake instinctively felt a little wary."
"Xiao Yin?" Dugu Bo stroked his dark green beard, his eyes flashing.
Looking at his granddaughter's eyes that were obviously full of strong interest, especially when she mentioned that Xiao Yin ignored her, a hint of unwillingness flashed across the depths of her eyes, and Dugu Bo's gaunt face suddenly showed a knowing smile.
"Hehehe…"
Dugu Bo let out a hoarse and low laugh, and looked at Dugu Yan with his green eyes teasingly.
"Yanyan, you've said so much, praising that boy for his mysterious power while belittling Yu Tianheng... Could it be that... you've taken a fancy to that boy named Xiao Yin?"
"Grandfather!"
Dugu Yan seemed to be touched by the words, and two barely noticeable blushes instantly appeared on her charming face!
She glared at Dugu Bo in shame and anger, and said:
"What nonsense are you talking about! I just think he's very interesting! It's just... just very interesting, that's all!"
"Oh? Just for fun?"
Dugu Bo smiled like an old fox, deliberately dragging out his tone, "This is the first time that my precious granddaughter finds it interesting!
What? Do you want Grandpa to help you 'invite' him back? Soak him in Grandpa's newly made 'Thousand Days Drunk' and I guarantee he'll be obedient!"
Dugu Bo made a grabbing gesture, his tone half true and half false, with a sinister tone.
"Grandfather!"
Dugu Yan was both embarrassed and angry. A dark green poisonous mist escaped uncontrollably from her fingertips, instantly corroding and withering a nearby ornamental plant.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll poison your newly cultivated 'Seven Deadly Soul Devouring Grass' to death!"
"Hahaha! Okay, okay! I won't say any more!"
Dugu Bo laughed and raised his hands in surrender, but his eyes were full of mischief, "Young people are thin-skinned, Grandpa understands! But..."
He changed the subject, his eyes gleaming with meaning, "Yanyan, Grandpa has something to remind you. You can play with fire, but be careful... don't set yourself on fire."
Upon hearing this, the shame and anger on Dugu Yan's face faded away.
"It would be great if it were lit... The stronger the fire, the more fun it is to watch, isn't it? Grandpa, just wait and see."
Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter and shook his head helplessly, but there was not much opposition in his eyes, but rather a hint of indulgence.
As long as Yanyan is happy, no matter if he's a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon or some mysterious guy...
However, the little guy named Xiao Yin really piqued his interest.
Maybe I could find an opportunity to "see" this young man whom my granddaughter still misses so much?
