Prince Xue Beng surveyed the Imperial exclusive area; at this moment, only his and the Crown Prince's factions remained, as Imperial Sister Xue Ke had no interest in the auction and thus did not come.
He felt that he should also leave. He never had a good relationship with the Crown Prince and often caused trouble for his elder brother.
If he didn't leave now, and his elder brother said a few words to that mysterious Super Douluo, he would probably be beaten beyond recognition, or even lose his life.
Thinking of this, Prince Xue Beng's legs trembled, and he was about to leave directly with his guards.
Ling Yun naturally noticed Prince Xue Beng's actions, and an idea popped into his head.
This boy, Xue Beng, had always teamed up with Prince Xue Xing to bully his Miss Xue'er.
Now that Prince Xue Xing had been taught a lesson, Xue Beng naturally couldn't be left out; after all, he couldn't show favoritism.
Although this boy was only about ten years old, he was extremely cunning. Ling Yun felt that he absolutely had to help Qian Renxue teach him a lesson.
Considering this, he deliberately raised his voice and asked Qian Renxue.
"Crown Prince, is that little brat who looks somewhat similar to you your younger brother?
He looks sturdy and innocent. Can you have him come over and get to know me?"
Prince Xue Beng froze on the spot when he heard Ling Yun's words, his mind a blank. He felt that he was finished.
If his elder brother said a few bad words to this mysterious Super Douluo, he would probably be completely doomed.
Qian Renxue's lips curled slightly. Although she didn't know why Ling Yun wanted to meet Xue Beng.
But she knew this was an opportunity to strike at Xue Beng. Prince Xue Xing, who had always been Xue Beng's backer, was now beaten beyond recognition and unconscious. She could be sure that this "Imperial Brother" was definitely terrified right now.
She smiled gently, and with a soft tone, waved at Xue Beng.
"Xue Beng, come here, come to your Imperial Brother."
Prince Xue Beng was utterly distraught, cursing inwardly, but he didn't dare to run. He could only look at Dugu Bo with pleading eyes.
Dugu Bo sighed helplessly and said to him.
"Go. Try to be docile. Don't think about running. If you anger him, even ten of me won't be able to protect you."
His words directly shattered Prince Xue Beng's last bit of hope. He could only obediently walk in front of Ling Yun and Qian Renxue, timidly calling out.
"Imperial, Imperial Brother..."
Qian Renxue nodded, raised her hand and patted Xue Beng's shoulder, then introduced him to Ling Yun.
"He is my fourth brother, and also the last male heir in the Imperial family besides me. How is he? Doesn't he look very cute?"
"Hmm, he is indeed very cute, sturdy and innocent."
Ling Yun nodded noncommittally and also raised his hand to pat Xue Beng's head.
"Crown Prince, such a cute little brat should be very obedient to you, right? If he's a disobedient younger brother, I still suggest..."
Ling Yun spoke slowly, his right hand gently patting Xue Beng's head.
"Of course he's obedient. How could my younger brother be disobedient? But compared to my sister, Xue Ke, this younger brother is a bit mischievous..."
Qian Renxue hinted at something, and then felt the trembling from Xue Beng's body.
She secretly chuckled to herself. This Xue Beng had always liked to team up with Prince Xue Xing to oppose her, ruining many of her plans.
Now she could use Ling Yun to curb his arrogance, so that he wouldn't team up with Prince Xue Xing to go against her again in the future.
"Is that so? A bit mischievous? That's not very good. How can he be mischievous? Crown Prince, how about I, Ling, boldly help you get rid of him?
Lest this brat cause you trouble, what do you think? Anyway, if this brat is killed, he's killed. Your Imperial family won't blame you."
Ling Yun's tone instantly became serious, and his hand moved from Xue Beng's head to his throat, beginning to tighten its grip.
Xue Beng had already sensed the killing intent from Ling Yun, and fear permeated his heart.
He was very afraid that his Imperial Brother would nod. As long as his Imperial Brother nodded, he might be directly killed on the spot.
With the strength of this Super Douluo, even if he was killed on the spot, the Imperial family would not have the courage, nor the ability, to avenge him.
Which meant he might die for nothing. No, he didn't want to die.
He knew that whether he could live depended only on his Imperial Brother helping him. He looked pitifully at Qian Renxue, and said in a pleading tone.
"Imperial Brother, save me! I will definitely be more obedient than a dog to you from now on, Imperial Brother, I don't want to die..."
Qian Renxue wanted to hear Xue Beng say that, but she still showed an expression of disbelief.
"Really? I don't believe it. Imperial Brother, I understand you very well. You won't give in so easily. You've always teamed up with Imperial Uncle to oppose me."
Xue Beng shook his head repeatedly, eagerly swearing his loyalty.
"No, no, Imperial Brother, I can swear to Heaven that no matter what happens in the future, I will absolutely obey you like a dog.
If I violate my oath, then, then I will die without a burial place, struck by lightning, I..."
He felt his throat being squeezed tighter and tighter, and his body was lifted into the air. The suffocating feeling and fear of not being able to breathe surged into his heart.
He struggled with his legs, his mouth wide open, desperately trying to inhale fresh air, and his eyes pitifully looked at Qian Renxue, making a venomous vow.
"Alright, release my Imperial Brother. I believe he will listen to me from now on."
Qian Renxue finally nodded with satisfaction, raised her hand and grabbed Ling Yun's arm, telling him to release Xue Beng.
Ling Yun pouted as if displeased, and released his hand from Xue Beng's throat.
"Crown Prince, you are too troublesome. You don't let me kill this, and you don't let me kill that.
Wouldn't it be better if I just killed all those Imperial family members and let you directly ascend to become the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire? Why do you insist on keeping these guys to cause you trouble?"
As soon as Xue Beng landed, he immediately fled the auction like a mouse seeing a cat, taking his people with him.
Qian Renxue watched Xue Beng's pathetic escape, a playful smile on her lips, and softly replied.
"Please, when you say that, it makes it sound like I specifically found you to persecute my Imperial Brother in order to ascend to the throne.
Besides, look, everyone in the entire auction is looking here. If you kill my Imperial Brother in front of so many people, aren't you afraid of incurring public wrath?"
Incur public wrath? Ling Yun scoffed dismissively. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how many people there were, it was useless. There was nothing to fear about public wrath.
Ling Yun sat back in Qian Renxue's seat and lazily shouted.
"Hey, are you going to auction those treasures or not? You're dragging your feet. Do you want Xiao Ye to wait until tomorrow?"
The onlookers present rolled their eyes. This guy still had the nerve to talk about dragging his feet? It was all because of him that the entire auction lacked atmosphere.
It truly embodied the saying, "the villain complains first." Everyone severely despised him.
