Chapter 379: The Xue Ye Emperor Who Peddles His Daughter, Dai Mubai in the Small Competition
"Does Master Lin Yu have a grudge with Yu Xiaogang?"
In the rest area, seeing Lin Yu casually ignite the ice arena with a flicker of Hellfire, Xue Qinghe's eyes sparkled with interest. As he saw Lin Yu approach, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
From the live stream, it seemed like Lin Yu had a vendetta against Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao's family, as he was constantly causing trouble for Yu Xiaogang in the live room, which made Xue Qinghe even more curious.
"No, I don't have any grudge with him!"
In response to Xue Qinghe's inquiry, Lin Yu simply smiled lightly and shook his head.
"I just can't stand what Yu Xiaogang has done. This guy has double standards; I hate people like him the most!"
"Double standards? What does that mean?"
Hearing Lin Yu mention this term again, Xue Qinghe was curious.
Although he could tell from the context that the term wasn't a compliment, he still didn't understand what it meant.
"Double standards! It means having one standard for yourself and a completely different standard for others."
"People with double standards can only see the faults in others but never in themselves. If someone treats them well, it's expected, but if they don't get the same treatment, it's an unforgivable mistake."
"Didn't the live stream already show it? Yu Xiaogang deceived the young Pope Bibi Dong's feelings when he was in the Spirit Hall, and in the end, Bibi Dong broke up with him."
"He thought that Bibi Dong just considered him trash because of his talent, but he never thought about the fact that he had deceived and used Bibi Dong's feelings."
"Isn't that double standards?"
"Then there was another time when he knew full well that the Spirit Hall had a grudge with Tang Hao's family, but in order to help his disciple Tang San, he went to Bibi Dong to ask how to prevent the twin martial souls from exploding."
"Although it was shameless of him, when he heard that Bibi Dong sent people to kill Tang San, he grabbed Bibi Dong and acted like he was going to kill her. It was simply disgusting!"
Lin Yu spoke with disdain, explaining Yu Xiaogang's actions.
Hearing Lin Yu's explanation, as they learned of Yu Xiaogang's hypocrisy and double standards, Xiao Wu, Du Gong Yan, and Ye Lingling couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock. Was there really such a shameless person in this world?
"Heh, that's truly double standards!"
Hearing Lin Yu's explanation, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but let out an awkward laugh.
Lin Yu immediately guessed the reason behind Xue Qinghe's reaction and couldn't help but chuckle quietly.
Was it because he mentioned Bibi Dong?
After finishing the lesson with Yu Tianheng, under Xue Qinghe's guidance, Lin Yu, along with Xiao Wu, Du Gong Yan, and Ye Lingling, passed through the corridor behind the rest area. They climbed a few flights of stairs and arrived at a lounge at the back of the Tiandou Great Soul Arena.
From here, they could directly enter the VIP area and the podium.
Led by Xue Qinghe, Lin Yu and his companions walked out of the lounge and into the VIP area.
Once inside the VIP area, the lights dimmed, revealing a massive platform that was entirely blue.
On the left side was a plaza, but there was no one there. This was where the participating soul master teams would gather later.
Though the plaza on the left was empty, the VIP seats around the area were already packed with people—audience members who had bought tickets to watch the competition.
Not far ahead, there were four thrones. The silver throne at the front was occupied by none other than the Xue Ye Emperor, wearing royal robes and a crown.
As for the three thrones behind, the one on the far left was occupied by Ning Fengzhi, who was dressed in luxurious robes, wearing a crown and holding an emerald jade staff.
The middle throne was occupied by a thin old man with white hair and a snow-white beard—this was Sarath, the Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall in Tiandou Imperial City.
The throne at the back was still empty. This one was obviously reserved for Lin Yu.
"Master Lin Yu, welcome to our Tiandou Imperial City Academy's Small Competition. It's a pleasure to meet you. You really are as young as rumored, truly a prodigy!"
Seeing Lin Yu walk in, the Xue Ye Emperor immediately stood up and smiled warmly at Lin Yu.
"Your Majesty overestimates me! I'm just a man with two arms, two legs, and a head, nothing special."
Lin Yu replied to the Xue Ye Emperor's greeting with a calm smile.
"Master Lin Yu, you are truly humorous! My daughter, Snow Ke, loves humorous people! You two are around the same age, perhaps you could meet her sometime."
Hearing Lin Yu's response, the Xue Ye Emperor stroked his long beard and smiled, casually beginning to peddle his daughter.
What the heck! The Xue Ye Emperor is directly trying to sell his daughter?
Lin Yu was momentarily stunned by the Xue Ye Emperor's directness.
However, Lin Yu didn't quite understand the pressure the Tiandou royal family was under. Despite being one of the three most powerful forces on the continent, their high-level combat power was still no match for the top three sects.
They once had Du Gong Bo, who was barely a Title Douluo, but Lin Yu had taken him away.
Now, the Xue Ye Emperor was desperately trying to find another Title Douluo, and it was driving him crazy. Naturally, his eyes turned to Lin Yu.
If he could get Lin Yu through his daughter, the Tiandou royal family would no longer have to fear the Spirit Hall!
This naturally made the Xue Ye Emperor think about matchmaking Lin Yu and his daughter, Snow Ke, who was the only suitable match for Lin Yu in his family.
"Heh, Snow Ke is only eight years old this year, younger than Master Lin Yu by quite a bit. Your Majesty, are you sure you meant 'around the same age'? It sounds more like you're trying to find a little sister for Master Lin Yu!"
Hearing the Xue Ye Emperor try to matchmake, Sarath, the Platinum Bishop, couldn't help but laugh mockingly.
Upon hearing Sarath's words, the Xue Ye Emperor's face turned red, and he coughed a few times.
"Well, Snow Ke is indeed eight years old this year, but Master Lin Yu is only around twenty, so it's not a big difference. Saying 'around the same age' isn't too far off."
"Snow Ke has always adored Master Lin Yu. She's been wanting to meet him for a long time. I'm sure you wouldn't mind meeting her either, would you?"
A difference of at least ten years, and they're calling it 'around the same age'?
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief.
Sarath, standing beside him, gave an eye-roll and muttered, "Tch."
Upon hearing Sarath's words, Lin Yu suddenly realized that Snow Ke was indeed only about eight or nine years old, which made her more of a little girl than someone his age. He quickly cleared his throat and said:
"Ahem, thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but let's watch today's opening ceremony first. We can discuss this later."
"By the way, are there seats for them in the VIP area?"
Looking at Xiao Wu and the other two, Lin Yu asked.
"Haha! Of course! They're in the first row of the VIP section!"
The Xue Ye Emperor, stroking his white beard, laughed heartily and instructed someone to escort Xiao Wu and the others to their seats in the VIP area.
Since he had already intended to win Lin Yu over, the Xue Ye Emperor had made arrangements as soon as Lin Yu entered the Tiandou Great Soul Arena. He knew Lin Yu had taught Yu Tianheng a lesson in the rest area and had given orders for no one to interfere.
Of course, he had made sure to reserve seats for Xiao Wu and the others!
"Father, I'll take my leave for now!"
After Xiao Wu and the others were escorted away, Xue Qinghe bowed to the Xue Ye Emperor and respectfully went to take a seat in the VIP section.
Lin Yu then took his seat in the far-right throne of the VIP platform.
Once Lin Yu left, the rest area quickly returned to normal. The staff members swiftly notified the leaders of each soul master team to prepare to enter the venue and begin the opening ceremony.
Although it was a small competition in Tiandou Imperial City, the entire process followed the procedures of the elite exchange tournament for soul master academies across the continent, albeit simplified.
Back at the competition venue, on the podium, under the Xue Ye Emperor's intentional friendliness, Lin Yu, while smiling and chatting with the Xue Ye Emperor, Ning Fengzhi, and Sarath, noticed that many soul master teams in the rest area, led by their captains, began entering the competition area.
Among them was Yu Tianheng.
Although he had just been tortured by Lin Yu, it seemed that after some guidance from his team leader Qin Ming and with help from the official auxiliary soul masters, Yu Tianheng had recovered. He changed into a fresh set of clothes and entered the competition area with the Tiandou Royal Team.
Lin Yu didn't really care about it.
However, as he casually surveyed the teams entering the competition area, Lin Yu suddenly noticed an unexpected person and frowned.
In the competition area, among an ordinary team from a high-level soul master academy, Lin Yu spotted a familiar young man.
The young man was wearing a white and gold uniform, with a tall build, black long hair, and a rugged face. What was most surprising, however, were his eyes—they were a pair of purple twin pupils, each eye containing two pupils.
At that moment, a figure flashed in Lin Yu's mind.
Lin Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Dai Mubai, I almost forgot about you!
