After identifying himself to the guards at the gate, Xiao Chenyu was ushered into a spacious reception room.
Xiao Chenyu is using the identity of a tutor to the Crown Prince. He is here to pay his respects to Ye Qingqin, the third young lady of the Ye family, who is Ye Lingling's biological mother.
The Ye family has seen many such visits. As a rare family with healing-type martial souls, the Nine Heart Begonia family is visited by visiting nobles whenever they have the time.
The Ye family has always adhered to the principle of welcoming all who come, and they almost never refuse anyone who comes for treatment or to make friends.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman walked in with a tall, middle-aged man dressed in black.
"Hello, Young Master Xiao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
The voice of the middle-aged beauty Ye Qingqin was like a gentle spring breeze, making it impossible for anyone to feel any dislike.
In contrast to Ye Qingqin, the tall, middle-aged man in black stared intently at the porcupine douluo standing behind Xiao Chenyu as soon as he entered the room.
"I've come to visit Mrs. Ye this time."
Xiao Chenyu replied politely, then, noticing the middle-aged man's strange look, asked with slight curiosity:
Who is this?
“Lu Jun, the person behind you should recognize me.”
As he spoke, his eyes never left the Porcupine Douluo.
Upon hearing the name 'Lu Jun', Xiao Chenyu immediately knew the other party's identity.
Lu Jun is Ye Lingling's biological father, and also the 70-year-old Soul Douluo.
He was somewhat surprised that the other party knew the Porcupine Douluo.
Keep in mind that the Porcupine Douluo was wearing a hood to deliberately conceal his appearance, yet he was still recognized...
So the question is, how deep is the love-hate relationship between these two?
"It's been a long time. I thought you wouldn't recognize me, little falcon."
The Porcupine Douluo didn't bother to hide anything, pulling down his hood and revealing a hearty smile.
Meeting Xiao Chenyu's questioning gaze, the Porcupine Douluo replied:
"Don't worry, although Little Falcon is no longer a member of the Spirit Hall, she wouldn't reveal my information."
Upon hearing what the Porcupine Douluo said, not only the two women present who had been listening intently with great interest, but also Xiao Chenyu felt a sense of curiosity.
Can you tell me?
The Porcupine Douluo did not reply, but crossed his arms and looked at Lu Jun.
Lu Jun snorted coldly, "What's so hard to say? We brothers risked our lives for the Spirit Hall, and what did we get in return? My elder brother's revenge is still unavenged."
"Who is Senior Lu's elder brother?" Xiao Chenyu asked cautiously.
He had a feeling that he was going to hear some big gossip today.
"Lu Ying, the Demon Eagle Douluo, was known as one of the Golden Tridents of the Spirit Hall generation, along with me and She Long." The Porcupine Douluo spoke calmly.
"Lu Ying?"
Upon hearing this name, Qian Renxue and Xiao Chenyu both widened their eyes.
No wonder...
Qian Renxue looked at Lu Jun with guilt in her eyes, while Xiao Chenyu felt relieved.
If it were any other Title Douluo, Xiao Chenyu might not know the story behind it.
But he had seen this person's name many times in the Spirit Hall's files.
He was one of the members who was sent to the Douluo Palace a few years ago, and his death occurred around the same time as the former Pope Qian Xunji.
When Qian Xunji, then the Pope, approached Tang Hao, he wasn't alone; he brought two Title Douluos with him.
The final result of that battle was the sacrifice of the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Hao's departure with serious injuries, and Qian Xunji's return after being seriously injured and devoured by Bibi Dong. The titled Douluo he brought with him also suffered one death and one injury.
The titled Douluo who died in battle was none other than the Demon Eagle Douluo - Lu Ying.
He just didn't expect that the Douluo had a Soul Douluo brother who was also very familiar with the Porcupine Douluo.
Judging from Lu Jun's words, he must have been his elder brother's follower in the past, which explains why he is so familiar with the Porcupine Douluo.
With this connection, Xiao Chenyu's mind began to stir.
It seems that Lu Jun was disappointed with the Spirit Hall after that battle, and with the birth of his daughter, he completely left the Spirit Hall and willingly married into the Ye family.
Based on the conversation they had just had, Xiao Chenyu could roughly deduce that Lu Jun was a man of strong emotions.
He now regrets not communicating with the Porcupine Douluo; he hadn't thought the two knew each other before.
Of course, the main issue is the source of intelligence. The information provided by the Elders' Hall is limited to the Crown Prince's residence, while the rest of the information about the Spirit Hall is under Bibi Dong's control and is basically not shared with them.
Xiao Chenyu estimated that once the competition with Bi Dong began, the information he could obtain would be even more limited.
However, those are all things for the future; Xiao Chenyu is more concerned about the present.
After considering for a moment, Xiao Chenyu took the initiative to offer a compliment:
"Senior Lu, I have heard a little about your story with Demon Eagle Douluo, and I have the utmost respect for your deeds."
"Little guy, just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush," Lu Jun said coldly, arms crossed.
Xiao Chenyu's little gesture was no different from being transparent to him.
“Senior Lu, you also want revenge, right? But Tang Hao is not so easy to kill. We can cooperate.”
"You think you can compete?" Lu Jun said without any politeness.
"As you can see, the Spirit Hall stands behind me, and not only that, the entire Heaven Dou Empire stands behind me."
Xiao Chenyu smiled, opened his arms wide, and displayed an imposing and awe-inspiring presence.
Lu Jun gave him a deep look, a cold smile playing on his lips:
"The Crown Prince's residence alone is not enough."
Based on Xiao Chenyu's identity, he could roughly deduce what the Spirit Hall was doing.
Although the Spirit Hall had wronged him in the past, he had no interest in getting involved.
