Douluo Continent: Saving Zhang Lexuan at the Start

Chapter 81 The Down-and-Out Family - Tang Clan

After Ye Qiukong and Wei Anxue left, perhaps out of concern, a Soul Saint who looked to be around thirty years old appeared beside Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan.

"I am Mo Yun, a level 71 Control-type Battle Soul Saint. Greetings, Young Master and Young Lady!"

Ye Ying was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that he would encounter a minor character from the original story.

I just didn't expect that Mo Yun was originally someone close to Wei Anxue, and probably only later became Wei Na's subordinate.

As for Vina now, she is even younger than her cousin Yu Tianlong, who is three years old.

"Well then, Mr. Mo Yun, please protect us for a while."

Mo Yun was an orphan adopted by the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire. He usually followed behind Wei Anxue as a guard and was extremely loyal to her.

Protecting Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan was Wei Anxue's order, and Mo Yun naturally carried it out without hesitation.

Unlike the frivolous people who bully men and women on the streets, those who can come here are basically the best among the noble families.

Most of them are quite well-mannered and have good character.

This is quite normal. After all, royal banquets are a time for nobles to show off their style. If a family sends a spoiled brat, it will not only embarrass themselves but also the royal family.

Since we're both in the same empire, we can't afford to make things too tense, can we?

"Brother Ying, do you think that's Ning Yu?"

Zhang Lexuan gently patted Ye Ying's shoulder, then looked at Ning Yu, who was chatting and laughing among a group of noble children from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

When Ye Ying followed Ye Ying's gaze, Ning Yu also inadvertently saw Ye Ying.

With a calm and unwavering gaze, Ye Ying paid him no heed. Instead, she spoke gently to Zhang Lexuan beside her, "Let's go, Sister Xuanxuan, let's wander around."

Ye Ying had nothing to say about Ning Yu.

His abilities are indeed quite good; after all, he is the young master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Those who had been surrounding him were all nobles of the Heavenly Soul rank, such as earls and marquises.

The strongest member of their family is only a Soul Saint. They could easily be dealt with by sending any family member. It would be a bit of an overreaction for the young sect leader to personally go forward. It would easily make them lose sight of their own position.

However, that's a matter for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ye Ying has no say in it.

The two hadn't gone far when a red figure blocked their way.

"It's been a long time, Young Master Ye, or rather, Young Sect Master."

Dressed in crimson clothes, with dark red hair flowing freely, the person who came was none other than Wu Changyun, who had met Ye Ying twice before.

Ye Ying was somewhat surprised, "I said that if there's money to be made, how could there not be the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School? I didn't expect Uncle Changyun to come in person."

During the Dragon Gate Battle, Ye Ying had witnessed this person who had competed with his uncle.

Ye Ying's first impression of Wu Changyun was that he was carefree and unrestrained; if she had to add another trait, it would be that he was devoted to her.

Ye Ying only learned this later through her uncle, Yu Xuehong: Wu Changyun had developed feelings for a woman from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

But then something ridiculous happened: this direct descendant of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was already betrothed from birth.

Of course, this is quite normal in large families and sects. Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan are an example of this; their marriage was preordained long ago.

In order to break off the engagement for his woman, Wu Changyun beat up everyone in that family, resulting in the family tearing up the engagement.

Wu Changyun was originally an elder of the Tianlong Sect, and his background was not bad. Logically speaking, there should be no problem for him to marry a woman from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

It was only due to some special reasons that Wu Changyun stayed in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even Yu Xuehong was not very clear about these things; only Ye Ying's maternal grandfather, Yu Longhua, knew about them.

Because of his relationship with Yu Xuehong, Wu Changyun had a good impression of Ye Ying.

Upon hearing Ye Ying call him "uncle," he immediately changed his address, "Nephew Ye, you're joking. I'm just here to oversee things; I have no say in matters of the sect."

The words were phrased rather tactfully; although he had joined the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was ultimately just an outsider.

Even though his soul power had reached level 88, before he could be granted a title, he was still just a bodyguard for the Ning family.

"Alright, Uncle Changyun, you're busy, I won't bother you any longer."

Unlike the leisurely Ye Ying, Wu Changyun was tied up with Ning Yu, so Ye Ying didn't plan to have a long talk with him, lest Ning Yu become overly suspicious of Wu Changyun.

But all of this eventually fell into Ning Yu's eyes, and the wine glass he was holding trembled slightly.

A strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he took his leave of the many nobles and disappeared into the crowd.

Several other people also left.

At a banquet for only a few hundred people, almost no one would care about the departure of a few.

An hour later, Ye Ying and Zhang Lexuan were getting tired from walking around, so they found a quiet place to sit down.

Not far from them, there was a young couple with rather handsome features and an air of arrogance that immediately caught Ye Ying's attention.

Since his rebirth, Ye Ying has encountered many arrogant people, most of whom are from prominent families or are young geniuses, and their arrogance is very solid.

This was the first time Ye Ying had ever seen such a disintegration.

He beckoned to Mo Yun, who was following behind him, and asked, "Mo Yun, do you...do you know those two people?"

Mo Yun's expression was somewhat strange. "In Tiandou City, there are probably not many people who don't know them."

They are the sect leader and deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan. The man is the sect leader, Tang Ming, and the woman is the deputy sect leader, Tang Tian. They are also husband and wife.

Although the Tang Sect had long since declined, and its strongest sect leader, Tang Ming, was only a Soul Master, His Majesty, out of gratitude for their ancestor Tang San, allowed them to attend the royal banquet.

Ye Ying suddenly realized why he was so arrogant yet his aura was so weak; he must be a down-on-his-luck person!

"The Tang Clan still exists? Weren't they wiped out long ago?"

A hint of surprise appeared in Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes. Like most people, she thought that the Tang Clan members were all dead.

Mo Yun shook his head. "No, most of the older folks in Tiandou City know that the Tang Clan still exists, though their strength is questionable. However, I've also heard that they seem to be being targeted recently, apparently by some insignificant little sect called something like Iron."

Although Mo Yun has only recently broken through to the Soul Saint realm, he is backed by the Heavenly Soul Royal Family and is very knowledgeable about the affairs within Heavenly Fighting City.

Ye Ying's expression was also strange as he recalled the events. The Tang Sect was quite peculiar to have risen from the number one sect on the continent to this level.

The three were speaking quite loudly, which alerted the two members of the Tang Clan. "Hmph, gossiping behind people's backs, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Ye Ying's lips curled up. "No, we're talking openly and honestly, not like we're eavesdropping."
