Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 197 Wen Yu: Lady White Tiger sleeps peacefully

In the living room of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, Dai Hao led Wang Xian'er and Xu Jiujiu to sit down.

He was on pins and needles, repeatedly considering how to begin. With the princess present for so long, he had to be extremely careful with his words. If he made the slightest mistake, she could return to the palace and file a complaint with the emperor, and he would be subjected to further harassment by the emperor. That would be a huge problem.

Moreover, his original intention was only to have Lady Baihu befriend Wen Yu, and he never mentioned the marriage agreement.

But his wife was ambitious and probably already desperate for the position of empress, which is why she made such an arrangement on her own.

After pondering for a long time, Dai Hao finally spoke tentatively: "Senior Physician, as Wen Yu's master, have you ever thought about finding a good match for Wen Yu?"

The moment the words were spoken, the previously harmonious atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Xu Jiujiu rubbed his fingertips against the teacup, his expression inscrutable; Wang Xian'er picked up her hot tea, took a sip, and then sneered: "Dai Hao, just because I care about your grandfather doesn't mean I'll help you with everything."

In Wang Xian'er's mind, there was no room for ambiguity regarding Wen Yu's matter.

She had long ago decided that everything should prioritize Wen Yu's interests. Unless the Holy Lord himself came, Wen Yu was of utmost importance to her, and no one else should dare to interfere.

Hearing Wang Xian'er's straightforward refusal, Xu Jiujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For her, the most worrying thing was that Wang Xian'er would agree, which would be a real headache.

After all, in the Xu family's royal family, the Immortal Physician Douluo is the most unapproachable honored guest, and countless honored guests in the Star Luo Hall joined because of her.

Dai Hao remained calm and smiled, saying, "Ten thousand years ago, Tang San's ancestor told his master, Master Yu Xiaogang, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' I think that as Wen Yu's master, you should have the right to decide her best match, right?"

Wang Xian'er:
Xu Jiujiu:
No, are we really having a conversation on the same platform?

Wang Xian'er felt that she had already spoken so bluntly, yet the other party could still bring up what Tang San's ancestor had said to his master, Yu Xiaogang. This line of thinking was simply unbelievable.

Just now, Dai Hao was truly speechless. He never expected that the Immortal Doctor Douluo would so bluntly expose the truth. In his panic, he subconsciously used the words that Tang San's ancestor had said to his teacher.

At this moment, he was filled with remorse, but when he thought of the reputation of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he stubbornly felt that he had done nothing wrong.

Xu Jiujiu spoke up at the opportune moment: "Senior Physician and Miss Wen Yu are indeed master and disciple. However, Senior Duke Baihu, you seem to have forgotten the family behind Wen Yu. May I ask, Duke, is your question to find a suitable match for your son, or to find an ally for the Duke Baihu's mansion, or is there another purpose?"

These words instantly created a tense atmosphere. The question, seemingly an inquiry, actually contained a warning, forcing Dai Hao to carefully consider how to answer.

Just as Dai Hao was about to respond, a voice came from outside the door: "Brother Dai, you've returned today, why didn't you inform Zhu?"

Upon hearing the voice, Dai Hao immediately realized who it was and was overjoyed: This must be the reinforcements!

The visitors were the head of the Zhu family, along with his daughter Zhu Lu. They had learned that Wang Xian'er had taken Wen Yu to visit the White Tiger Duke's mansion and were worried about missing the opportunity, so they rushed over.

Dai Hao greeted Xu Jiujiu and Wang Xian'er and hurriedly went out to greet them.

"I've had some rare free time these past few days, and I was missing home and my kids, so I came back to visit," Dai Hao explained.

He then hurriedly welcomed the Zhu family head and his daughter into the mansion. As soon as the Zhu family head entered, he saw Xu Jiujiu and the Immortal Doctor Douluo Wang Xian'er sitting quietly drinking tea. He quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, Princess Xu Jiujiu and Senior Immortal Doctor Douluo."

Wang Xian'er nodded slightly, then looked the Zhu family father and daughter up and down for a long time. She knew that the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was outwardly submissive but inwardly ambitious, while the Zhu family had always been adept at playing both sides, maintaining an ambiguous attitude between the royal family and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Xu Jiujiu quickly stood up, stepped forward and took Zhu Lu's hands, saying, "Patriarch Zhu, this must be your daughter. Why don't you let her accompany me for a walk?"

Since Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan was unable to persuade Wang Xian'er, Xu Jiujiu felt that he no longer needed to worry. He decided to take advantage of the opportunity of taking a walk to test Zhu Lu and see if he could win her over.

The Zhu family head and the White Tiger Duke listened to her words for a long time, their expressions varying, but neither of them said anything to stop her, letting her leave with Zhu Lu.

With barely concealed curiosity on her face, Xu Jiujiu pulled the bewildered Zhu Lu out of the living room and wandered around the well-arranged pavilions and towers of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, looking around aimlessly.

On the other side, Wen Yu's fingertips vanished, finally completely eradicating the long-standing ailment plaguing Lady White Tiger's body. Looking at Lady White Tiger sleeping peacefully on the bed, Wen Yu gently lowered the bed curtains. As for how this method of calming and inducing sleep was performed, there was no need to delve into the details.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she bumped into Xu Jiujiu and Zhu Lu, who were walking towards her. Wen Yu smiled and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, Princess Jiujiu."

Xu Jiujiu caught sight of Wen Yu coming out of Madam Baihu's room, and her expression instantly became tense. She quickly pulled Zhu Lu forward, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "How is Madam Baihu?"

Wen Yu raised her hand to tidy up the stray hairs by her temples, her tone calm: "She slept peacefully."

Xu Jiujiu: ? ? ?

Zhu Lu: !!!
Seeing the two girls' blank expressions, Wen Yu just chuckled and looked at the cute little girl with cascading black hair and a round figure next to Xu Jiujiu. She had to admit that the Zhu family's inheritance was truly unique.

Wen Yu's unbridled gaze fell directly on Zhu Lu. Anyone else would have shown displeasure, but Zhu Lu was surprisingly calm. Not only did she not feel uncomfortable, but she also felt an inexplicable urge to get closer to Wen Yu. She herself did not understand why she had such an impulse.

After staring at Wen Yu for a long time, who was scrutinizing him without any attempt to hide it, Xu Jiujiu pouted helplessly: "It's strange. Your gaze is obviously too direct, but I don't feel offended at all. Instead, I feel a strange sense of comfort."

"That means you're the one with the problem." Wen Yu raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu's eyes widened in disbelief, then his glare widened in anger as he shouted, "Wen Yu! Say that again if you dare! Do you believe I'll have someone chop your head off?"

"Then don't even think about asking me to dance anymore." Wen Yu crossed her arms, her tone indifferent, as if she had the other person completely under her thumb.

Xu Jiujiu immediately deflated, her tone fawning: "I was wrong, Miss Wen Yu! You are so magnanimous." Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized what she had said and her eyes widened.

"Wait, didn't you force me to jump?"

It was clearly this woman who coaxed and tricked her into jumping with her, so how did it become that she liked jumping with her?

"Ha, woman." Wen Yu rolled her eyes gracefully, bent down elegantly, and met Zhu Lu's bright yet somewhat naive eyes. "Hello, my name is Wen Yu, what's your name?"
