Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 20: Yu Luomian’s Recruitment and Threat

Hearing Dugu Bo's complaints and mockery, Yu Luomian, who was well aware of the situation, also wore an unpleasant expression.

Yu Tianheng, on the other hand, lowered his head humbly, shrinking behind Yu Luomian like a quail, not daring to look at Dugu Yan again.

"Hmph, Dugu Bo, don't just criticize others. Look at yourself! With your demeanor, do you think any young person would dare to talk to you?! Tianheng's reaction is completely normal! So you can't blame him for everything. He was also very anxious just now!"

Yu Luomian spoke with a tone that lacked confidence.

Anyone could tell that this statement was just a weak attempt to save face.

But even if you lose, you can't lose your composure. Being backed into a corner without a response is unacceptable. No matter what, you have to take a jab at the other side.

However, instead of being angered into silence by Yu Luomian's words, Dugu Bo unexpectedly sneered.

"Hmph, Yu Tianheng is just one example. He doesn't represent the entire group. I just had a great conversation with Xiao Yu! I'm even thinking of betrothing Yan Yan to him when he grows up!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Yu Luomian frowned slightly, while Yu Tianheng, standing beside him, was shocked.

"Someone can actually have a conversation with that old monster? Has he changed his temperament?"

Meanwhile, Dugu Yan, who was standing nearby, surprisingly didn't refute the statement. Instead, her face turned red, and even the tips of her ears flushed.

This shy and bashful scene made Yu Tianheng's heart race even more.

As for Liu Erlong, who was standing to the side, when she heard Dugu Bo mention betrothing Dugu Yan to Xiao Yu, she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but she felt extremely uneasy. For some reason, a sour taste filled her mouth, prompting her to pick up a glass of water and drink it all in one go.

"Tsk tsk, Dugu Bo, you're really casual when it comes to choosing a son-in-law, huh? You'd reject a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, a lineage with strong roots and a bright future, in favor of some random kid from who knows where?!"

Yu Luomian sneered.

"Yu Luomian, shut your mouth! What do you mean by 'random kid'? Xiao Yu is my disciple! His talent is exceptional!! In just one year, he went from having half a level of spirit power to reaching level ten! His talent surpasses many disciples in our sect!"

Liu Erlong, unable to tolerate anyone speaking ill of Xiao Yu, immediately lashed out in anger.

"What?!"

Hearing this, not only was Yu Luomian shocked, but even Dugu Bo, who was standing beside Xiao Yu, was stunned.

He had initially thought that Xiao Yu was a genius with at least eight or nine levels of innate spirit power. But he never expected that Xiao Yu's innate spirit power was so low?!

And yet, in just one year, he had gone from half a level to level ten.

How was this possible?

Logically, those with low innate spirit power usually have weak martial souls and bloodlines, and their future progress is limited.

But why had this kid changed so dramatically?!

Listening to Liu Erlong's words, Yu Luomian took a closer look at Xiao Yu.

However, the more he looked, the more surprised he became. No wonder Dugu Bo had taken a liking to him.

Despite appearing to be only seven years old, he was already a Spirit Master.

Yet, judging from his bone structure, he didn't seem like someone with low innate spirit power.

But given Liu Erlong's personality, she wouldn't lie either.

What was going on?

Yu Luomian pondered internally.

"Your name is Xiao Yu?"

"Junior Xiao Yu greets Senior!"

"Not bad, you have a certain air about you. Tell me, would you be interested in joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and becoming an outer disciple of our sect?! If you meet my expectations, I might even make an exception and take you as my personal disciple! With the support of the second-in-command of the sect, your future achievements will undoubtedly be remarkable!"

Yu Luomian smiled faintly, then glanced provocatively at Dugu Bo.

The temptation of being recruited by the second most powerful sect on the continent was something Yu Luomian believed no child could refuse.

After all, this was an opportunity to rise to the top in a single step.

Noticing Yu Luomian's provocative gaze, Dugu Bo didn't say anything. Instead, he simply sneered at Yu Luomian.

Seeing Dugu Bo's sneer, Yu Luomian frowned, feeling puzzled.

Then, he heard Xiao Yu speak.

"I'm sorry, Senior. This junior only acknowledges one teacher in this lifetime, and that is Liu Erlong."

Hearing this, Yu Luomian looked at Liu Erlong, who was now beaming with pride, with a surprised expression.

Still, he wasn't ready to give up.

"That's fine. Joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family won't affect your status as Erlong's disciple. After all, she is my..."

"No, for this lifetime, I will only be Teacher Liu Erlong's disciple, and I will only belong to Blue Tyrant Academy. I won't join any other force. Xiao Yu thanks Senior for your kind offer, but it was Teacher Liu Erlong who helped me in my darkest hour. How could I abandon her?"

Seeing Xiao Yu reject him again, Yu Luomian was momentarily stunned.

Now he understood what Dugu Bo's earlier look had meant.

Dugu Bo must have tried to recruit Xiao Yu multiple times and been rejected each time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so indifferent.

Meanwhile, Liu Erlong, hearing Xiao Yu's resolute words, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of satisfaction in her heart.

However, after hearing Xiao Yu's words, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

After all, her initial reason for bringing him to the academy was simply to cope with her longing for Yu Xiaogang. It wasn't as noble as Xiao Yu made it out to be.

"Kid, are you really rejecting the recruitment offer of the Vice-Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family?! Have you thought about the consequences?"

Yu Luomian's expression turned dark as he spoke.

"Yu Luomian, what do you mean by that?! Xiao Yu is my person. If you dare to touch him, do you believe I'll fight you to the death?!"

Seeing that Yu Luomian was resorting to threats, Liu Erlong immediately jumped in front of Xiao Yu, glaring fiercely at Yu Luomian.

The guilt she had felt earlier was now completely replaced by anger, ready to explode at any moment.

At the same time, Dugu Bo also spoke up.

"Yu Luomian, don't push your luck. Xiao Yu has already refused. What more do you want?! Let me tell you, Xiao Yu is Yan Yan's savior. If you dare to touch him, do you want me to take a little stroll around the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's territory for a few days?"

Hearing Dugu Bo threaten him over Xiao Yu, Yu Luomian, who valued his pride, felt his expression darken further.

However, the more they defended Xiao Yu, the more Yu Luomian felt that it was necessary to bring him into the family.

After all, being able to satisfy Liu Erlong was one thing, but if even Dugu Bo valued him, this kid must have some extraordinary abilities.

However, given the current situation, Yu Luomian felt that it wasn't the right time to openly clash with Dugu Bo. Moreover, he still wanted to mend his relationship with Liu Erlong, as she was his daughter.

After a moment of thought, he realized that since Xiao Yu was Liu Erlong's disciple, there would be plenty of opportunities to recruit him in the future. There was no need to rush. Besides, if he could use Xiao Yu's relationship with Liu Erlong to improve his own relationship with her, that might not be a bad idea!
