Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Xue Beng Looking for Trouble

Yun Jin looked at Ye Xi's eyes, smiled helplessly, and then said, "Young Miss, I offended the Fourth Prince some time ago, so if you buy this mansion, the Fourth Prince might come looking for trouble with you."

Yun Jin's voice was filled with helplessness.

Originally, he didn't want to mention this matter; he just wanted to sell the mansion as quickly as possible.

However, as a wealthy merchant in Heaven Dou City, Yun Jin had seen a thing or two. Ye Xi and the others were dressed extraordinarily, and among the three of them, Ye Xi was clearly the leader. So, Yun Jin could basically conclude that Ye Xi and the others' identities were definitely not simple.

If he didn't mention this matter, then he wouldn't just be offending the Fourth Prince, but also Ye Xi and the others in front of him.

"Fourth Prince Xue Beng?"

Ye Xi withdrew her gaze and continued to survey the mansion's environment, her tone calm and unchanged.

Tian Yue, standing beside her, yawned, completely unconcerned about any Fourth Prince.

Ling Yuan stood silently behind the two, not speaking, but her eyes held only calmness.

"Yes, it's Fourth Prince Xue Beng."

Yun Jin nodded seriously, but a pleasant surprise appeared in his heart.

From the expressions of the three, he could tell that Ye Xi and the others didn't care about the so-called Fourth Prince, which meant that his mansion was very likely to be sold.

"I'll take this mansion."

"Name your price."

Ye Xi found a place to sit in the mansion and asked about its price.

"Young Miss, I originally planned to sell this mansion for 400,000 gold coin, but if you want it, I can give you a discount of 50,000 gold coin."

"Young Miss, what do you think?"

Yun Jin looked at Ye Xi, asking tentatively.

"350,000 gold coin?"

"Alright, the price is very cheap."

Ye Xi nodded gently and handed a gold coin card to Yun Jin.

This price was very cheap for Heaven Dou City. As for Fourth Prince Xue Beng coming to cause trouble, Ye Xi didn't care at all.

After all, Fourth Prince Xue Beng's influence was truly not worth mentioning in Ye Xi's eyes.

"Young Miss, please wait a moment. I'll go get the mansion's paperwork for you."

Yun Jin took the gold coin card, swiped the amount he needed, and then walked into a room in the mansion to retrieve the mansion's paperwork.

Soon, Yun Jin brought out the paperwork and other items.

"Young Miss, please give me two days to organize the items in the mansion."

"In two days, you can move in."

Yun Jin handed the paperwork and gold coin card to Ye Xi, his voice sounding very happy.

"Okay, we'll come back in two days."

Ye Xi took the gold coin card, put the paperwork into her storage bracelet, and walked out of the mansion.

Yun Jin escorted them all the way to the mansion's entrance before stopping.

Just as Yun Jin was about to say something, he saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothes walking towards them.

Behind the young man were two guards in armor.

"You bought this mansion?"

An arrogant and presumptuous tone came from the young man's mouth.

"Young Miss, this is Fourth Prince Xue Beng."

Yun Jin lowered his voice and said to Ye Xi and the others.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xi sized up Xue Beng, her eyes showing no ripple.

Ling Yuan, meanwhile, took a step forward, shielding Ye Xi and Tian Yue behind her.

"Fourth Prince, these people are dressed extraordinarily; their background is probably not small."

The guard following behind Xue Beng lowered his voice and whispered in Xue Beng's ear.

"I can tell."

Xue Beng glanced at the guard, then his gaze began to examine Ye Xi and the others.

In the entire Heaven Dou City, the only forces he couldn't afford to offend were the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Spirit Hall.

As for other forces, he truly didn't care much. If anything happened, his uncle Prince Xue Xing would clean it up. If Prince Xue Xing couldn't solve it, he would naturally call their Heaven Dou Royal Family's Guest Elder Dugu Bo.

So, although he could tell that Ye Xi and the others were dressed extraordinarily, he didn't pay too much attention.

"Hey, little girl, this Prince is talking to you."

"That rich man behind you must have told you my identity, right?"

"Either you get lost now, and this Prince will pretend nothing happened, or don't blame this Prince for selling you to the Tian Dou Auction House."

"Looking at you, you should fetch a good price."

Xue Beng stared directly at Ye Xi, his profligate demeanor fully on display.

All at once, without a single mistake!

"Ling Yuan, they're yours."

"Remember not to kill them. Just let Xue Xing come to claim them."

Ye Xi glanced at Xue Beng, then patted Tian Yue's shoulder, signaling Tian Yue to follow her into the mansion.

"Second Miss, I understand what to do."

Ling Yuan responded, her gaze locking onto Xue Beng.

After Ye Xi and the others walked back into the mansion, Ling Yuan walked step by step towards Xue Beng.

With each step Ling Yuan took, a spirit ring flashed beneath her feet, and the Aura that erupted from her pressed directly towards Xue Beng and his two guards.

Finally, what was displayed before Xue Beng were: two yellow, two purple, five black, nine spirit rings.

"Titled Douluo..."

"I've kicked an iron plate!"

As soon as Xue Beng had this thought, he felt his body shoot into the air and heavily smash onto the mansion's doorstep.

"Titled... Your Excellency..."

One of the guards was about to say something when Ling Yuan kicked him away.

"Go back and tell Xue Xing to come personally to claim them."

After Ling Yuan finished speaking, she ignored the guard, came to Xue Beng's side, lifted him up, and walked into the mansion.

Upon hearing Ling Yuan's words, the guard walked towards the direction of the Prince's residence.

Meanwhile, inside the mansion.

Ye Xi and Tian Yue were sitting at a wooden table, and the mansion's former owner was thoughtfully preparing some juice for them.

"Second Miss, why did you want Xue Xing to come claim them..."

Tian Yue drank her juice, glanced at Yun Jin, and didn't finish her sentence.

Seeing this, Yun Jin wisely retreated, not wanting to hear what these two Young Misses had to say.

After all, he knew one thing very well: curiosity could not only kill the cat but sometimes also kill people.

"Even if Xue Beng is out of favor, he is still a Prince. Killing him in public would be very troublesome."

"It's better to use Xue Beng as a bargaining chip and exchange him for some benefits from Xue Xing."

Ye Xi slowly drank her juice, her tone very indifferent.

After all, Ye Xi knew that Xue Beng wouldn't live much longer. Instead of killing Xue Beng in public and causing herself trouble, it was better to exchange Xue Beng for benefits.

Tian Yue nodded, half-understanding, and then silently drank her juice.

At this moment, Ling Yuan also returned, carrying Xue Beng.
