On the bustling Dragon Palace street on the seabed, Ye Yu was treasure hunting and picking up scraps with Cang Luer and the others from the Canghai Imperial Clan.
As the Dragon Palace of the Sea Dragon Imperial Clan, it was naturally extremely lively, with many stalls, pawnshops, auction houses, and so on.
Ye Yu had also managed to scrape together quite a few things here.
This made Cang Luer look at him with new eyes, and she couldn't help but let a hint of admiration appear in her beautiful eyes.
His background was mysterious, he possessed many methods, and though he couldn't be called peerlessly handsome, he was still refined and handsome.
Furthermore, he had saved her in the Mirage Realm.
To say that Cang Luer had absolutely no favorable impression of Ye Yu would be impossible.
However, at this moment, the voice of the Spirit of the Gate of Creation sounded in Ye Yu's mind.
"Not good, Ye Yu..."
"What is it?" Ye Yu asked inwardly.
Then, his gaze subconsciously swept past a certain spot, and it suddenly froze for an instant!
His pupils constricted slightly, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"He... how is he..."
Ye Yu's breathing paused!
"Hmm? Brother Ye Yu, what's wrong?" Cang Luer, standing beside him, saw the unusual expression on Ye Yu's face and couldn't help but ask.
Then, she followed Ye Yu's line of sight, and her gaze also froze!
On the other side of the bustling street, a figure in white, untainted by dust, strolled over leisurely, causing many creatures in the surroundings to look over repeatedly.
That temperament was like an immortal descending into the mortal world.
It was none other than Jun Xiaoyao.
Beside him were two other people.
One was naturally Sang Yu.
The other was the Black Jiao King in human form—a big man wearing black armor, covered in pitch-black scales, with a fierce look on his face.
Leaving aside how profound Jun Xiaoyao's aura was, just the fact that an Emperor Realm powerhouse was following him was enough to make the many creatures present stare.
One must know what kind of status an Emperor Realm powerhouse held.
Even among the most flourishing Sea Abyss Scale Clan in the Primordial Star Sea, their status was extraordinary.
Yet here, they were following Jun Xiaoyao like an attendant.
Cang Luer's eyes were slightly dazed as she watched.
That Young Master in white was the most peerless person she had ever seen in her life.
It was simply breathtaking.
The next moment, Cang Luer's breathing suddenly skipped a beat, because the gaze of that Young Master in white had actually turned towards her side.
Then, he walked towards her.
Cang Luer's heart was instantly thrown into chaos.
"Why is he looking at me?"
"Why is he walking over?"
"Could it be that he wants to get to know me?"
Cang Luer had an illusion about life.
She didn't notice at all that beside her, Ye Yu's face had become very stiff, slightly tinged with a faint greenish hue.
"Young Master Ye, what a coincidence, we meet again." Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
"You... you are also in the Primordial Star Sea..." Ye Yu's voice faltered slightly, not knowing what expression to show on his face.
Only then did Cang Luer come back to her senses.
So Jun Xiaoyao didn't want to get to know her; it seemed he knew Ye Yu.
"What... is it surprising?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes sized up Ye Yu.
"Of course not." Ye Yu's heart was drumming, but on the surface, he tried his best to remain calm.
Fortunately, his Heart-Nature was steady and meticulous, and he was good at controlling his emotions.
If he revealed any abnormality in front of Jun Xiaoyao at this time, it would inevitably lead him to guess that he had some purpose in coming to the Primordial Star Sea.
"I remember you were seemingly at the Shengxuan Academy before, how did you suddenly leave and come to the Primordial Star Sea?" Jun Xiaoyao had a faint smile on his face, seemingly asking casually.
However, Ye Yu's heart skipped a beat.
He always felt that Jun Xiaoyao was like a smiling tiger, harboring ill intentions.
He had been keeping an eye on news about Jun Xiaoyao.
Forces like the Dayan Immortal Dynasty and the Blue Demon Clan had been severely calculated by Jun Xiaoyao and suffered heavy losses.
Jun Xiaoyao was by no means as transcendent and unworldly as his appearance suggested; his Heart-Nature and city-like depth were as deep as the sea.
Thinking of this, Ye Yu replied, "Nothing much, I just have a penchant for adventure by nature. Staying in the same place all the time is truly boring."
"Besides, I like fishing, and having heard of the vastness of the Primordial Star Sea, I came here."
Ye Yu did have some Heart-Nature, and his expression was calm at this moment.
He knew that as long as he didn't reveal any flaws or his true background in front of Jun Xiaoyao, he would be safe for the time being.
After all, he was still acquainted with Su Jinli.
Relying on this layer of connection alone, Jun Xiaoyao wouldn't make a move on him for no reason.
Hearing this, Jun Xiaoyao showed a light smile on his face.
"Is that so? Fishing is indeed a leisurely hobby."
"However, not all fish can be caught; you might even get dragged into the water yourself."
Jun Xiaoyao's tone was casual, yet it seemed to carry deep meaning.
Ye Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Jun Xiaoyao had noticed something?
"Alright then, let's leave it at that."
Jun Xiaoyao left with Sang Yu and the Black Jiao King.
Only after Jun Xiaoyao and the others had walked far away did Cang Luer ask in a low voice, "Brother Ye Yu, may I ask who that Young Master is? Do you know each other?"
Cang Luer blinked her eyes, appearing quite curious.
"Not very familiar." Ye Yu brushed it off casually.
Looking at Cang Luer's curious eyes, he didn't want to tell her about Jun Xiaoyao's background and identity.
"Is that so?"
A trace of disappointment seemed to flash in the depths of Cang Luer's eyes.
To be honest, before, when Cang Luer encountered Ye Yu, it really felt a bit like meeting her true love.
After all, Ye Yu had remarkable methods, his Realm was not weak, he was a Source Master, and he had saved her life.
It was inevitable that Cang Luer would develop a favorable impression of him.
But now, after seeing Jun Xiaoyao at a glance, that sense of breathtaking beauty was simply indescribable.
Before, Cang Luer had thought Ye Yu was refined and handsome.
But in front of Jun Xiaoyao's peerless divine appearance, even 'refined and handsome' became a derogatory term.
Ye Yu naturally noticed the subtle change in Cang Luer's eyes, and the corner of his eye couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Was Jun Xiaoyao some kind of succubus?
How could every woman be charmed by him?
Even Cang Luer, who had only seen him once, was somewhat swayed.
He finally understood now why Su Jinli and Jun Xiaoyao had such a good relationship.
Su Jinli was just a looks-obsessed fan!
He only hoped that this old classmate wouldn't fall too deep in the future.
On the other side, Jun Xiaoyao was secretly pondering.
He was well-versed in tropes.
He knew that a Son of Destiny changing territories was definitely not just on a whim, but for a purpose.
This reminded Jun Xiaoyao of the bronze compass that Ye Yu had obtained before.
However, in the Emperor Fall Battlefield, it seemed Ye Yu had found that Earth Gate predecessor's relic through the bronze compass.
"It seems the real big fish should be the Earth Gate Secret Treasury, one of the Thirteen Secret Treasures."
"Ye Yu coming here, could it be because the Earth Gate Secret Treasury is in the Primordial Star Sea?"
Although Jun Xiaoyao had his suspicions, he couldn't be certain.
But regardless, Ye Yu was definitely going to be his treasure-hunting rat.
Jun Xiaoyao would absolutely not miss out on a treasury at the level of the Thirteen Secret Treasures.
Additionally, Jun Xiaoyao saw that the people around Ye Yu were also not ordinary; they were of the Mermaid lineage.
If there were no accidents, they should be people from the Canghai Imperial Clan.
But thinking of Ye Yu's identity as a Son of Destiny, getting to know noble people seemed to be in the nature of things.
Although Jun Xiaoyao had the canghai imperial token of the Canghai Imperial Clan, he had no intention of taking the initiative to strike up a conversation or build a connection.
