Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 290 Liu Erlong's Curiosity and Hostility

"What is she here for?"

When Ning Rongrong saw that it was Liu Erlong, her eyes widened with curiosity, her mouth slightly open, and she subconsciously moved a little closer to Dai Chengfeng.

He whispered to Dai Chengfeng, "Is it because he lost the bid to you that he's here to settle scores with you?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng shook his head and did not reply.

He didn't know what Liu Erlong was there for, but getting angry and embarrassed after losing the bid wasn't like Liu Erlong's usual style.

Therefore, Dai Chengfeng was also very curious.

As for Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, one remained with his eyes closed, seemingly indifferent to the newcomer, while the other's eyes were full of amusement.

However, the invisible, powerful aura emanating from the two individuals, befitting titled Douluo, silently permeated the spacious private room, creating an invisible pressure...

It seemed to be reminding the 'intruder' of the significance of this place.

Not just anyone can run wild!

On the other side, Liu Erlong took a deep breath after hearing Ning Fengzhi's words and looking at Chen Xin and Gu Rong, the two titled Douluo.

She knew perfectly well whose territory this was, and she also knew what these two old men meant.

Thinking it over, Liu Erlong glanced briefly at the people in the private room.

She recognized Ning Fengzhi's gentle and composed demeanor.

She recognized Gu Rong, who had a playful expression and was waiting to see what would happen.

She still recognized Chen Xin's sharp aura.

Ning Fengyuan looked slightly surprised; the face was familiar—a core figure in the outer sect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

And then there's that little girl, Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

as well as……

The unfamiliar young man, dressed in a dark gold outfit, sat casually on the sofa. He had an extremely handsome face, but his temperament exuded a cold and aloof aura and an inexplicable sharpness.
Liu Erlong's gaze lingered on the unfamiliar Dai Chengfeng for a fraction of a second before immediately locking onto him!
Her beautiful eyes narrowed, a strong intuition telling her: It's him!
That calm, million-dollar price tag just now could only belong to him!

Who is he?
When did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School produce such a figure?
How come I've never seen him before? He's definitely not a direct descendant of the Ning family!
Ning Fengzhi personally instructed him to rush the bid?
Judging from Ning Fengzhi's reaction, there seemed to be a hint of surprise...

Countless questions arose in Liu Erlong's mind in an instant, but the most crucial point was exceptionally clear:
He bought the Soul-Sculpting Orchid!

Liu Erlong's gaze fell undisguisedly on Dai Chengfeng, as if she wanted to see right through him.

Dai Chengfeng naturally felt the extremely aggressive gaze, but he only slightly raised his eyelids. His deep golden-blue heterochromatic eyes remained calm, even showing a faint, imperceptible hint of disdain, before he casually turned his gaze away.

His slender fingers casually stroked the rim of the teacup, as if the imposing Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy didn't exist in front of him at all.

"Who is he?"

For a moment, Liu Erlong felt an immense curiosity about Dai Chengfeng.

But she quickly looked away and turned to Ning Fengzhi, giving him a smile that was neither too enthusiastic nor too polite.

"Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Miss Rongrong..."

Liu Erlong nodded slightly, "I apologize for disturbing you; it was not intentional."

As she spoke, her gaze once again swept over Dai Chengfeng, almost imperceptibly, with an almost tangible probing intent. "But..."

"I had some unresolved questions in my mind, so I couldn't help but come up here to ask for some advice."

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong stroked his chin with interest, his smile deepening.

Ning Fengzhi remained as gentle as ever. He put down his teacup and spoke in a voice as warm as a spring breeze: "Dean Liu, you flatter me. Your father and I are old acquaintances, so there is no question of disturbing you."

“As Brother Yu’s daughter, if you have any doubts, please feel free to speak them.” Liu Erlong nodded.

She knew that this was under the watchful eyes of a Title Douluo, and there was no way she could act recklessly or arbitrarily.

Therefore, she no longer concealed her gaze and looked at the young man in black and gold outfit who was sitting on the sofa, seemingly detached from the situation.

"Sect Leader Ning, please forgive my intrusion."

"I wonder who this young master is? Could he be a rising star of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? I've never heard of him before."

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng finally raised his head, his strange golden-blue eyes meeting Liu Erlong's curious gaze without any change in expression.

He tilted his head slightly, a tiny, almost imperceptible curve appearing at the corner of his lips, like mockery or pure indifference, which made Liu Erlong's heart skip a beat.

"This is my young friend Dai Chengfeng. He is not a disciple of my sect, but a close friend of Rongrong, and also a distinguished guest of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Ning Fengzhi spoke up at the opportune moment, giving a brief explanation of Dai Chengfeng's identity.

He didn't say anything more.

After all, the reason he was so polite to Liu Erlong was because of her father; he only went so far as to say no more.

"Dai Chengfeng?"

Liu Erlong frowned slightly. She felt that the name looked familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

But if she said she didn't know them, she was afraid the other person might be someone important, and that would offend them.

After all, someone who could be regarded as an honored guest by Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, couldn't be too simple.

"I see."

Liu Erlong nodded slightly, feigning surprise. "Hello, Dai Chengfeng. I am Liu Erlong from Lanba Academy."

She extended her right hand.

However, Dai Chengfeng did not make any unnecessary movements, and did not even lift his back from the comfortable sofa back. He simply nodded to Liu Erlong in an extremely indifferent manner.

"Dean Liu, hello."

Dai Chengfeng showed no smile whatsoever, let alone shook hands in return.

After all, this was a friend of Yu Xiaogang, an enemy. If she knew about the grudge between him and Yu Xiaogang, it would be a great act of restraint if she didn't kill him.

Dai Chengfeng didn't think that if he tried to please her, she would abandon Yu Xiaogang and turn to help him.

Therefore, Dai Chengfeng felt that he had already been quite polite to Liu Erlong.

Dai Chengfeng's aloofness and indifference instantly froze Liu Erlong's smile, and her outstretched right hand hung awkwardly in the air.

She could clearly sense Dai Chengfeng's undisguised hostility!
The Bone Douluo Gu Rong beside him had an even stronger sense of amusement in his eyes, and even clicked his tongue softly, as if he were enjoying the opening of a good show.

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, almost imperceptibly, as if trying to ease the tension, but ultimately did not speak immediately.

Ning Rongrong subconsciously tugged at the corner of Dai Chengfeng's sleeve, her small face filled with worry and confusion.

Meanwhile, countless thoughts flashed through Liu Erlong's mind like lightning.

I have never met him before, and we have no grudges against each other. Where does his hostility come from?

Could it be because of the bidding just now?
But he won the bid, and I'm the loser. If anyone should be angry, it should be me!

Liu Erlong wanted to leave immediately, after all, she wasn't one to suffer in silence, but then she thought of the importance of the Soul-Sculpting Orchid...
