Chapter 1335: Chapter 162: Seizing Another’s Home

As long as they don’t meet in Dugu Mansion, given Hei Linlin’s personality, she definitely won’t go to watch the arena matches or the surrounding games, so the two women won’t encounter each other.

After sending off Hu Qianqiu and the others, Dugu Xiu strode towards the main hall.

In the main hall, Hei Linlin was indeed waiting there. The water in the cup beside her had long dried up, and the maid next to her wanted to add water, but was harshly rebuked by her.

"Get out of here, where did Dugu Xiu go? How long does he want this Young Clan Chief to wait?" Compared to a few years ago, Hei Linlin’s looks had become even more dazzling, but her temper remained as arrogant and unreasonable as before.

"Hei Linlin, if you’re not willing to wait, then get out. Gudu Mansion is no place for you to act wildly." Dugu Xiu walked into the hall, waving his hand as the maid alongside him hurriedly retreated like escaping for her life.

Hei Linlin scrutinized Dugu Xiu, seeing his refreshed face, as if in a good mood.

"Dugu Xiu, do you think I really want to come to you? If the people from the Beast God Altar hadn’t suddenly decided to come, I wouldn’t be bothered to enter your broken place." At the sight of Dugu Xiu’s frosty expression, Hei Linlin felt annoyed.

"The Beast God Altar, are they coming for spectating or competing?" Upon hearing about the Beast God Altar, Dugu Xiu showed some curiosity.

The Hei Qilin Tribe, as the largest beast clan among the Eight Desolate Beast Clans, holds an unparalleled position.

Only the Eight Desolate Beast God Altar can surpass the Hei Qilin Tribe, and the High Priest of the Beast God Altar is said to be feared even by Hei Yao.

In previous Eight Desolate Clan Competitions, the Beast God Altar never attended, so their sudden presence this time must be special.

"How would I know? Father is still in seclusion. Judging by the Beast God Altar’s intentions, their people will probably arrive in half a month, considering that by then, the arena and challenge matches will have ended, they should be here for the core competition." Hei Linlin mentioned the Beast God Altar with some reservations.

With Hei Yao in seclusion, he entrusted the clan’s affairs to Dugu Xiu and Hei Linlin. Despite their mutual disdain, the importance of the Eight Desolate Clan Competition compelled them to temporarily set aside their differences.

"So they’re coming for the challenge and core competitions? Well, I wish to see the power of the Beast God Altar myself." Dugu Xiu’s purpose in coming to the Bahuang Continent was to further strengthen his abilities.

The Hei Qilin Tribe is arguably the strongest tribe on the continent, rivalled only by the Beast God Altar.

"Suit yourself. Father demands we secure first place in this clan competition. Other than that, do whatever you want. I’m not interested. Dugu Xiu, I’ve heard you allowed the Sky Fox Tribe members to stay in your mansion?" Upon arriving at Dugu Mansion, Hei Linlin noticed the maids and servants bustling about, and after casually questioning one of them, she discovered Dugu Xiu had made such arrangements.

Hei Linlin found it curious that someone as aloof as Dugu Xiu would let members of a lower beast clan like the Sky Fox Tribe reside here.

"Gudu Mansion is my domain. I decide who stays here, hardly your concern, right?" Dugu Xiu furrowed his brows, displeased.

"Hmph, as if I care about you. Just remember, the Hei Qilin are an upper beast clan, dealing with lower beast clans like the Sky Fox Tribe is quite beneath us. Anyway, maybe after this Eight Desolate Clan Competition, the Sky Fox Tribe will lose their place among the Eight Desolate Beast Clans, so you’d better open your eyes and not bring shame to the Hei Qilin Tribe." With a proud expression, Hei Linlin walked out without turning back.

The dispute in the main hall remained unbeknownst to the Sky Fox Tribe members residing in the secluded courtyard.

"Miss Yun, this room is your guest room, see if it meets your satisfaction?" The personal guard assigned by Dugu Xiu had settled everyone, and when it came to Yun Sheng, she was given a lavishly decorated and elegantly arranged upper room.

"How come only Yun Sheng and the Clan Leader have single rooms?" Yu Shang, arranged to stay with Lu Yunshuang, flared up upon seeing Yun Sheng’s room.

As the Clan Leader, Hu Qianqiu having a room to himself was understandable, but why was Yun Sheng the only other person with a single room?

Moreover, Yun Sheng’s room was positioned in the entire courtyard’s south side, blessed with the best sunlight and location.

"This... was arranged by the Vice Clan Leader, I’m unaware." The guard appeared helpless.

Frankly speaking, the Vice Clan Leader also seemed to have a change of heart this time, arranging accommodations for the Sky Fox Tribe all by himself.

Especially Yun Sheng’s room, her neighboring courtyard belonged to the Vice Clan Leader himself.

When Dugu Xiu made these arrangements earlier, it sparked some lively discussions among the mansion’s staff.

Upon entering the room, Yun Sheng discovered it was identical to the one she had resided in when staying at Dugu Xiu’s Crown Prince Mansion.

Memories of unpleasant times during the Qin days flooded back instantly.

"Yu Shang, if you so fancy a single room, it’s yours. I’ll stay with Bo Bo." Yun Sheng shrugged, realizing how petty Yu Shang was, always eager to compete over everything.

Staying within Dugu Xiu’s mansion, she felt uncomfortable no matter where.

Yu Shang thought Yun Sheng was intimidated by her and, without hesitation, took over Yun Sheng’s room.

After the two had sorted their luggage, Yun Sheng suggested a walk around Tianyong City.

"Yun Sheng, are you acquainted with the Hei Qilin’s Vice Clan Leader?" Once outside Dugu Mansion, Lu Yunshuang couldn’t help but ask, having sensed some unusual undertones between Yun Sheng and the Vice Clan Leader.

Honestly, the Vice Clan Leader of Hei Qilin appeared appealing and seemed the type women would favor, yet Yun Sheng showed no interest, even some aversion towards him.

"Yes, we have a history, but not as you might think." Yun Sheng had no time to delve into the messy past between herself and Dugu Xiu with Lu Yunshuang.

Inside the mansion, after dealing with Hei Linlin, Dugu Xiu could hardly wait to find Yun Sheng.

He had deliberately arranged their living quarters to be just separated by a wall.

Upon reaching the door, Dugu Xiu hesitated slightly.

"Vice Clan Leader, why are you here?" Yu Shang emerged from inside and showed surprise upon seeing Dugu Xiu.

"Shouldn’t I be the one asking why you are in Yun Sheng’s room?" Dugu Xiu responded with icy coldness.

"Were you perhaps looking for Yun Sheng?" Yu Shang glanced at Dugu Xiu and pieced things together, noting the sophisticated room layout. "I didn’t expect, Yun Sheng looked so pure, turns out she’s into flirting too, even winning over the icy cold Vice Clan Leader. Vice Clan Leader, quite frankly, she is engaged to Young Clan Chief Lu."

"Woman, hold your tongue; matters between her and I are none of your concern." Dugu Xiu flicked his sleeve and walked out.

"Hmph, just another man blinded by that trollop." Yu Shang slammed the door shut in anger.
