Upon hearing this, Aunt Shu's expression changed, and she immediately looked at You Yueying warily. Her spiritual energy surged instantly, forming a faint halo around her body.
His gaze was piercing, fixed on the mysterious black mist before him, and his tone was deep: "Who exactly are you? Why do you know so much about my past?"
A cold laugh rang out from within the black mist. The black mist rippled slightly with her laughter, and her ambiguous expression appeared and disappeared within the mist, adding to her mystery.
"I meant no harm; I just happened to learn about your past and couldn't help but feel sentimental."
Before she finished speaking, the black mist surged, and a cold gaze pierced through it, glancing casually in Qin Luo's direction. A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and after a moment, she added, "You don't need to be so nervous. I have no connection with that Dongfang Ye, nor am I one of the women he's been pursuing. I've never even seen his face."
Hearing this answer, Aunt Shu's wariness did not completely disappear, but the faint hostility she felt faded considerably.
"So, your appearance now is to support him?"
Although the tone was still somewhat harsh, it was much gentler than before.
You Yueying sighed softly, and the black mist swirling around her began to rise, silently recounting the vicissitudes of the past.
His gaze held a hint of insight as he looked directly at Aunt Shu, his tone tinged with helplessness yet also revealing an undeniable arrogance:
"All your previous remarks, in the end, were just about looking down on this kid for his humble origins and lack of background, thinking he's not good enough for your precious young lady? If that's the case, surely a Supreme expert's background is enough?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the black mist surrounding You Yueying suddenly surged, and a powerful and ancient aura swept out.
This aura contained the majesty and power of a supreme being, seemingly capable of crushing everything in the world. The surrounding air instantly became heavy, and even the light was distorted.
The black mist surged, allowing that aura to spread freely, clearly telling Aunt Shu that she was fully capable of leading Qin Luo and Dongfang Jinyao away from under their noses.
Under this supreme pressure, Aunt Shu's face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She tried her best to circulate her spiritual energy to resist, but she still felt that this aura was as heavy as a mountain, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"What... exactly do you want?"
You Yueying sneered:
"I don't want anything in particular, I just want you to understand that you shouldn't interfere too much in their affairs. If you insist on stopping them, although I don't want to cause trouble, I don't mind taking them away. However, I still hope that things can be resolved peacefully."
Aunt Shu gritted her teeth, suppressing the oppressive aura, and said with difficulty, "Are you threatening me?"
"This is hardly a threat; I'm merely stating a fact," You Yueying said indifferently. "Believe it or not, if this kid claps his hands, that little girl will leave with him. Forcibly stopping her will only make her resent you. Is that the result you want?"
After these words, the room fell silent for a moment. Aunt Shu's face grew increasingly grim, filled with both anger and helplessness.
She naturally understood Dongfang Jinyao's personality. If things were really pushed to the brink, given Xiaoyao's stubbornness, she might really disregard everything and go with Qin Luo.
Just then, Qin Luo suddenly spoke up: "Give me some time."
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over You Yueying and Aunt Shu's faces in turn. "I know my current strength is nothing compared to yours. But give me some more time. In the not-too-distant future, I will no longer be forced into this conditional way to gain the right to be with Jin Yao."
"At that time, I want Dongfang Ye to personally hand Jin Yao over to me!"
These words caused an instant, deathly silence to fall over the arena. You Yueying paused, then a barely perceptible smile flashed in her eyes, a smile tinged with amusement and admiration. The illusory figure swayed gently in the black mist, re-examining the ambitious young man before her.
Aunt Shu's reaction was completely different. Her eyes widened, her face filled with shock and disbelief, as if she had heard a fantastical tale.
A moment later, her shock gradually turned into anger. Her brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. "What did you say? That he should personally hand Xiao Yao over to you? Do you know what nonsense you're spouting?"
Meeting Aunt Shu's gaze, Qin Luo stood tall and proud, radiating an aura of fearless heroism, and said softly:
"I admit that I may seem insignificant now. But how do you know that I, an unknown person today, might one day be famous throughout the world?"
Looking at Qin Luo at this moment, Aunt Shu seemed to see an unforgettable figure gradually overlapping with him in her eyes. History always repeats itself in this way.
"Back then, there was someone just like you, young and arrogant, spouting grand pronouncements." Aunt Shu's voice softened unconsciously, tinged with a hint of reminiscence. "Everyone laughed at his overestimation of his abilities, but he never gave up. Step by step, he overcame countless hardships and obstacles, and finally..."
After a brief pause, a complex look flashed in Aunt Shu's eyes, a mixture of relief and unspoken admiration. "In the end, he succeeded. He made his name known to countless people all by his own efforts."
“I admit that I see a reflection of him in you. Back then, no one believed he could succeed, but he did. Now, I'm willing to believe in you this time.”
"However, whether you can seize this opportunity depends entirely on yourself. I will no longer inquire about or interfere with your affairs with Jin Yao, and I will report back truthfully. At that time, whether you can win the approval of Xiao Yao's mother and gain her father's consent will depend entirely on your own abilities."
Phew~ This hurdle is finally over. Qin Luo let out a sigh of relief and said softly:
"Of course I will not let Jin Yao's opinion be disappointed, nor will I betray her feelings for me."
"I hope you're not just spouting nonsense."
After speaking, Aunt Shu's fingertips flashed with spiritual light, and a wisp of spiritual energy shot out like a meteor, rushing towards the distance. Before long, Aunt Hua and Dongfang Jinyao's familiar figures appeared in sight.
At the same time, the black mist surrounding You Yueying continued to recede, as if everything had settled down and there was nothing left for her to worry about.
The black mist surged, seemingly bored, or perhaps unwilling to witness the sweet scene that might unfold, and deliberately disappeared into the ring. The ring flashed with a faint light and then returned to its usual tranquility.
