Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then gestured for Ci Xue to release him.
Though she did not know the other party, once she returned, she could take out his portrait and use Spirit Hall's intelligence network spread across the Entire Continent. Finding him would not be difficult.
"Brother Xiao Yan, please wait." As she spoke, Qian Renxue tossed over a token.
Han Yu caught it, seeing a large character for "Xue" engraved upon it.
"My elder brother is Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. If you ever need help, you may use this token to find him."
"Many thanks, everyone!"
With that, Han Yu dragged the corpse away and quickly left the area.
Watching his figure disappear, Ci Xue asked worriedly, "Young Master, what if he recognized us?"
Qian Renxue shook her head. "Both grandfathers are powerhouses of the older generation. At his age, it is impossible for him to know about them. As for giving him Xue Qinghe's token, I have my own plans."
If she had given him a Spirit Hall token, then should Han Yu seek out Spirit Hall in the future, Bibi Dong would surely learn of it. Given her nature, how could she possibly allow a powerhouse like Han Yu to be placed under Qian Renxue's command?
Someone like Han Yu had to be firmly kept in her own hands.
Han Yu arrived at the secluded place he had found in advance.
Looking at the token in his hand, he chuckled inwardly. It seems Qian Renxue wants me to work for him. That will depend on whether you can afford the reward.
Sitting down cross-legged, he used his martial soul to draw the soul rings onto his body.
Meanwhile.
In Suotuo City, Ye Lingling finally left her room after several days of cultivation.
As the saying went, people were made of iron and food was made of steel. Even Soul Masters would grow hungry after missing several meals.
"Dai Boss, I heard you got yourself a pair of twins. Don't forget about your brother here," Ma Hongjun said mournfully on the street.
Dai Mubai raised a brow. "Fatty, haven't you been seeing Cui Hua lately? Why are you still thinking about those older women?"
Ma Hongjun snorted. "Cui Hua just can't handle it. Every time before I can even begin, she's already had enough. If this keeps up, I'll have nowhere to release my evil fire. At that point, I'll die."
"Besides, I can only collect ten Gold Soul Coins from Spirit Hall every month. Even with the money Teacher gives me, it's still not enough to spend."
Dai Mubai frowned. Ma Hongjun's evil fire problem was no secret at Shrek Academy.
"Fatty, if you had half my looks, those girls would be throwing themselves at you."
Fatty.
Seeing that Dai Mubai's reaction differed from what he had expected, Dai Mubai froze in place.
"Dai Boss, I think I've found true love."
"Hm?" Dai Mubai's expression stiffened, and he followed Ma Hongjun's gaze.
Bang~
"Dai Boss, why did you hit me?" Ma Hongjun covered his head, looking utterly innocent.
Dai Mubai coughed lightly. "Ahem, Fatty, give her to me, and I'll give that pair of twins to you. Think about it. One person isn't enough for you, but with two people, wouldn't you be over the moon?"
Ma Hongjun thought it over and found it feasible.
Not far away, the person they had been discussing was Ye Lingling, who had come out to eat.
I wonder how Teacher Han is doing now. Whenever she thought of Han Yu heading alone into the Star Dou Great Forest, she could not help but feel worried and guilty.
She hated that she lacked the strength to help Han Yu hunt soul beasts.
As she reached a corner, a red-haired youth blocked her path.
It was Ma Hongjun. With a lecherous grin, he said, "Miss, my good brother would like to get to know you."
For the sake of those twin sisters, he had gone all out, willingly serving as Dai Mubai's wingman.
Following the direction Ma Hongjun pointed, Ye Lingling saw Dai Mubai in the distance.
At that moment, he held a rose between his lips and looked in her direction with an infatuated expression.
Ye Lingling's willow brows furrowed slightly. These two dressed exactly like the "Evil Eyed White Tiger" and "Red-Haired Chicken" Han Yu had mentioned.
"Not interested." Ye Lingling replied coldly, then turned and left.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai both stood frozen in place.
In terms of looks, aside from being slightly inferior to Han Yu, Dai Mubai could hold his own anywhere.
Yet now, someone had actually rejected him outright.
"Dai Boss, this..."
Ma Hongjun worried that the twin sisters who were practically in his grasp would slip away.
Dai Mubai brushed back the golden hair by his temple, a playful look on his face. "An interesting woman. She has successfully caught my attention."
"Fatty, once I get her, the twin sisters will be yours."
After all, Ye Lingling was not his yet. If he gave her to Ma Hongjun now, he would have nowhere to vent at night.
"Dai Boss, you're so good to me." Ma Hongjun's face was filled with gratitude.
"Haha, Fatty, that's what brothers are for."
Dai Mubai did not feel the slightest bit of regret over something secondhand that he had already played with.
Not long after, Ye Lingling returned to the hotel.
Thinking of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's gazes, she felt utterly disgusted.
"No wonder Yu Xiaogang praises Shrek Academy so highly. They truly are a pack of sewer rats, all drawn together by the stench." Ye Lingling said with a look of disgust.
She knew all too well what kind of people Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were.
And Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, so young, yet instead of learning something proper, they were trying to become romantic playboys. If the lower beam was crooked, the upper beam could not be any better.
Several days later, Han Yu slowly opened his eyes.
Six soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, red, black, black—glimmered beneath his feet. The next second, at a thought from Han Yu, the red soul ring in the fourth position gradually faded into dark purple.
"Level sixty-six. After absorbing the Heavenly Flame, I might be able to break through to level seventy."
However, he had already absorbed a thirty-five-thousand-year soul ring for his Sixth Soul Ring. His Seventh Soul Ring would have to start at fifty thousand years at the very least.
The power of two fused Heavenly Flames could certainly kill a soul beast of that age, but such a massive explosion would inevitably attract the attention of other powerhouses in the forest. Especially those beings in the deepest parts—if he encountered one of them, Han Yu would have no chance of escape.
Slowly closing his eyes, Han Yu sensed the flow of Soul Power within his body.
After breaking through to Soul Emperor, Fallen Heart Flame's cultivation-boosting effect had slowed considerably.
That was only natural. As his Soul Power rose, its density far surpassed what it had been before. Each tempering by Fallen Heart Flame now required more time.
"After absorbing the Heavenly Flame, I need to find Zhu Zhuqing and complete the system's mission as soon as possible."
Thinking of the Divine Flame Seeking provided by the system, Han Yu looked forward to the upcoming reward.
With a light swipe of his right hand over his Soul Tool, Azure Lotus Core Flame first emerged as a wisp of fire. In an instant, that tiny flame swelled several times over. The azure flame transformed into a ball of fire, hovering before Han Yu.
With the system's help, even at such close range, the flame's temperature did not harm Han Yu in the slightest.
Han Yu stared intently at the flame before him. He understood that it was time to devour the Heavenly Flame.
