Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 18 Dai Tianyun: I am the sickly person you all talk about!
The four had just returned to the White Tiger Duke's mansion and hadn't even had a chance to rest yet.

The old steward ran up to the group, panting, his voice urgent: "Madam, something terrible has happened! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has arrived!"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Why would they be here?"

Zhu Yun'er looked surprised. She didn't remember when the White Tiger Duke's Mansion had any connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If we were to pinpoint the only relationship between them, it would probably be that our ancestors from ten thousand years ago were close friends.

But now, ten thousand years later, they are completely unrelated.

There must be a reason behind everything!
"Yun'er, Xiao Tao, Yue Heng, you should go back to your rooms and wash up first."

After Zhu Yun'er sent the three away, she had the old butler explain things carefully before she finally understood what had happened.

It turns out that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was invited to attend the royal banquet yesterday, and the Netherworld Duke's Mansion was naturally among them. However, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, represented by Zhu Yun'er, did not attend because the White Tiger Duke was located on the border.

But this small action sparked an earth-shattering war.

In the past two days, the engagement between Zhu Lu, the only legitimate daughter of the Netherworld Duke's Mansion, and Dai Yuntian, the third son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, has caused quite a stir among the upper-class soul masters of the entire Star Luo Empire.

After all, in their minds, Dai Yuntian was still the terminally ill third young master, so no one was optimistic about this marriage.

Some even believed that the engagement at the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was a ploy to bring good luck, hoping to use the power of metaphysics to cure Dai Yuntian.

Such rumors reached the banquet, and naturally, there was no shortage of discussion among peers.

This led to Zhu Lu hearing a lot of bad things and ridicule about Dai Yuntian at banquets attended by people her own age.

The most outrageous statement made here comes from Wu Feng of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

This provoked Zhu Lu to immediately start a fight with the group.

She would never allow anyone to insult her Brother Yuntian!
Because it was so sudden, no one expected Zhu Lu to suddenly unleash her martial spirit.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess, Ning Tian, ​​didn't say anything bad about Dai Yuntian. It was only because she was close by that she suffered an undeserved misfortune, her little face being scratched all over.

Of course, Wu Feng wasn't much better off; his hands were bitten with several teeth marks that haven't faded yet.

When both sets of parents inquired about the cause afterward, they learned that the conflict was actually caused by Dai Yuntian.

Therefore, today, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School went directly to their door to demand an explanation.

However, nothing serious happened.

They specifically requested to see Dai Yuntian, wanting to prove to Zhu Lu that he was a sickly man.

As for Wu Feng, one of the instigators of the conflict, he was even more adamant, insisting on publicly proving that Dai Yuntian was a "terminally ill good-for-nothing," and even proposed to have a one-on-one fight with Dai Yuntian in front of Zhu Lu.

After hearing the whole story, Zhu Yun'er couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She was both pleased with Zhu Lu's actions in standing up for her son and filled with concerns.

She feared that if this matter escalated, it would inadvertently expose Dai Yuntian's divine abilities.

After all, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.

Although the son Dai Yuntian is protected by an evil god, it can't be guaranteed that the god is there 24 hours a day, right?
Therefore, even if there is only a slight possibility, Zhu Yun'er, as a mother, dares not gamble.

Think again.

Zhu Yun'er felt that this matter couldn't be delayed any longer, so she decided to take this opportunity to announce it to them.

Dai Yuntian has recovered from the mutation of his martial soul.

However, his identity as the successor to the god of evil must remain a secret.

……

Dai Yuntian, who had just finished washing up, learned the whole story from his mother, Zhu Yun'er.

After hearing this, he asked somewhat angrily, "Mother, has Lulu arrived yet?"

Of course, Dai Yuntian was not angry because he was insulted, but because Zhu Lu stood up for him and was beaten bloody.

He couldn't tolerate this.

"They're all here. They're in the lobby. Shall we go see them?"

"If you don't want to, I'll refuse for you. I don't believe they'll dare to cause trouble in the Duke's mansion."

Zhu Yun'er also showed the toughness of a duchess at this moment. Don't be fooled by her usual gentle and mild manner of speaking; that's only in front of her family.

But if he really got angry, no matter who the other person was, even if it was Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, he would still get a scolding. "Mother, I'm going to check on Lulu first." After saying that, Dai Yuntian turned around and ran quickly towards the front hall.

"Hey, slow down, kid."

As Zhu Yun'er watched her son's hurried departure, a smile of relief unconsciously crept onto her lips.

the other side.

As soon as Dai Yuntian stepped into the front hall, he attracted everyone's attention.

"Who is this person?"

"Could this person be Dai Yuntian, the third young master of the White Tiger Duke's mansion?"

"Impossible! Do you think this person looks like someone who is terminally ill? I bet this person is the Second Young Master, Dai Huabin, right?"

Dai Yuntian ignored the discussions around him, looked around, and soon spotted a figure in the corner.

He walked straight over.

At this moment, Zhu Lu was looking down, her lips tightly pursed, her little face full of disappointment.

I finally made it to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but Brother Yuntian, whom I wanted to see, wasn't there...

When Dai Yuntian came to Zhu Lu, he saw the scratches on her face and the bruises on her knees. He was immediately angry, but as much as he was angry, he felt more heartache.

He softened his tone and teased, "Oh, whose little crybaby is this, hanging their head here?"

A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Zhu Lu slowly raised her head.

When she realized that the person in front of her was Dai Yuntian, she could no longer hold back and immediately threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears of joy: "Brother Yuntian!"

These words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

"What! This person is Dai Yuntian?"

"How is that possible? The rumors say he's the kind of sickly person who gets out of breath after just a few steps."

"This must be an act by them. This person must be Dai Huabin. They're just trying to get away with it and cover it up."

"Everyone, stop making wild guesses, don't believe rumors, and don't spread rumors!"

Amid the murmurs, the two girls sitting next to the main seat attracted particular attention.

One of them had dazzling long golden hair, fair and translucent skin, and a beautiful face, but there were several reddish scratches on her face.

At this moment, she looks like a wronged little kitten, and she is none other than Ning Tian, ​​the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

The other person had long, fiery red hair, delicate features, and an air of arrogance between his brows; he was none other than Wu Feng.

She curled her lip in disdain and turned to Ning Tian beside her, saying, "I don't believe this is Dai Yuntian. Xiao Tian, ​​don't you think so?"

Ning Tian nodded slightly, his eyes filled with obvious doubt: "Hmm, I don't believe it either."

Hearing these questions, Zhu Lu immediately lifted her head from Dai Yuntian's embrace, not even bothering to wipe away the tears on her face. Like an enraged little animal, she glared at everyone and retorted with a sob in her voice:
"Don't talk nonsense! Brother Yuntian is not like what you say!"

Dai Yuntian gently squeezed her hand to comfort her.

He then calmly swept his gaze across the entire room, his voice not loud, but clearly carrying throughout the hall:

"Didn't you want to see Dai Yuntian?"

Dai Yuntian suddenly took a step forward, his soul power surging slightly.

"I am the sickly person you all call me—"

"Dai Yuntian!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep purple soul ring slowly rose from beneath his feet.

Thousand-year soul ring!

Upon seeing this, the once noisy front hall instantly fell silent.

All the doubts and ridicule ceased at that moment.

Especially when they saw the first soul ring in a thousand years at Dai Yuntian's feet.

Everyone stared in disbelief, completely stunned.
