Teacher, Your Mom? Hu Liena's Thoughts [4K]

"Um?"

"It was Wulin who gave me this Heavenly Treasure as a gift for our first meeting... It had a great impact on me."

"While it won't allow my talent to advance further, the benefits it brings are simply undeniable."

Qian Renxue smiled faintly, but her emotions were stirred when a certain word was mentioned.

A token of love... At this moment, even her smile deepened.

"The Heavenly Treasure is truly well-deserved. So, Sister Xue'er, did you see Wulin before, in Heaven Dou City?"

Hu Liena blinked and couldn't help but ask.

While Heavenly Treasure certainly attracted her attention, mentioning Wulin clearly elevated the matter to a higher level.

She remembered clearly that Wulin was going to a place that seemed to be Heaven Dou City or some other city. So, the person in front of her was actually staying in the Heaven Dou Empire.

The geniuses of the Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Empire...

It was indeed an unthinkable path.

However, as expected of the granddaughter of the Great Enshrined, she has already achieved such cultivation at such a young age. In the future, she will likely become another top-tier Titled Douluo powerhouse.

"Right."

"I lived in seclusion in Heaven Dou City for a while. Wulin happened to visit Heaven Dou City before, and we met up."

Qian Renxue nodded. She had no record of such a person in the Heaven Dou Empire, so it was perfectly acceptable to say that she was living in an assumed name.

"So that's how it is..."

"Sister Xue'er, do you know when Wulin will be able to come back?"

Hu Liena didn't dwell on this for long; she quickly remembered something else and couldn't help but ask expectantly.

"It should be soon."

"Wulin has just gone to the Star Dou Great Forest, so it shouldn't be too long."

Qian Renxue gave the other person a deep look, thinking that this senior sister was quite considerate, and replied truthfully.

"Star Dou Great Forest..."

Hu Liena was slightly stunned and almost didn't react. As the forest with the most abundant population of Soul Beasts, when she heard about this place, she thought that Wulin was about to obtain a new Soul Ring.

After all, only those hunting for Soul Rings would go there, but... how could that be possible!

Even she, as the senior sister, is not yet at the Soul King level. Surely Wulin couldn't have already broken through to the fifth ring?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

"Sister Xue'er, Wulin went over there to improve his combat skills, right? I almost didn't realize it when you said that..."

"He's still a long way from level 50, he definitely won't be absorbing his Fifth Soul Ring."

Hu Liena snapped out of her daze and said with a smile.

"Yes."

Hearing her words, Qian Renxue simply blinked, showing no particular emotion, and nodded.

"Wulin went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his Fifth Soul Ring. Before that, Wulin had already broken through to level 50 by absorbing the Heavenly Treasure that belonged to him."

Qian Renxue smiled slightly and said calmly, but Hu Liena was completely stunned upon hearing her words.

"Wulin has broken through level 50?"

She quickly regained her composure, but her expression remained quite turbulent, and she couldn't help but say something.

The teacher had just said one sentence to her.

If she doesn't work harder, it won't be long before she loses much of an advantage in cultivation, even though she's several years older than her opponent.

But surely they shouldn't have no advantage right now!

She's actually the other person's senior!

At that moment, Hu Liena's eyes dimmed. How could she always be surpassed by her junior brother in that aspect?

"But I'm still very curious about Wulin's changes."

"I'll take a good look at him when he arrives."

Hu Liena thought to herself.

"..."

After chatting briefly, the two then left.

Not long after, the two, who were living in different places, were summoned to the Pope's Palace by Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Teacher."

"You wanted to see me?"

Hu Liena arrived at the Pope's Palace first, and quickly walked to Bibi Dong's side, asking respectfully.

"Yes, Nana's here. I'll introduce you to a friend who's about your age, a few years older than you..."

Looking at her eldest disciple, Bibi Dong smiled gently and said simply.

Nana was her second favorite disciple.

It can be said that apart from Wulin, the other party is number one, and also the third person she cares about most in the Spirit Hall besides Wulin and Xue'er.

To her, Nana and Xue'er are equally important, so it's natural that they should get to know each other. This would also facilitate their future communication and progress.

After all...

Since Wulin and Nana are both going to make a name for themselves in this generation's Soul Master Tournament, why can't their own daughter do the same?

The other person's age...

In fact, it meets the standards!

The three of them are of different ages, but they have all made a name for themselves in the Soul Master Tournament.

"A peer? She must be a girl."

Hu Liena was slightly taken aback, but she didn't think much of it and didn't feel much emotion.

Compared to this, she actually had an even bigger question in her mind. For a moment, she also turned her attention to the teacher in front of her, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation.

"Teacher."

"I heard that Wulin is currently hunting for Soul Rings in the Star Dou Great Forest. When will he be back?"

Hu Liena blinked and couldn't help but ask.

The teacher is so incredibly resourceful...

What Sister Xue'er doesn't know, perhaps the teacher does!

"That's the problem..."

"I also miss Wulin very much, but I don't know the exact time. However, I think it certainly won't be too long."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came to her senses and said calmly.

That's how it is...

The result was still an ambiguous answer!

Hu Liena blinked, silently pursed her lips, and thought, "What the teacher said is as good as nothing!"

As expected, the strong are different; even when they don't know something, they can make it sound interesting.

"Oh, right, Nana."

How did you know Wulin went to the Star Dou Great Forest?

Bibi Dong suddenly realized something. She hadn't told her about Wulin's breakthrough precisely because she was afraid of hurting her disciple's confidence. How did the other party know?

"Oh, this..."

"Teacher, I saw the Great Enshrined before..."

Hu Liena naturally wouldn't hide anything from her teacher. As she spoke, she was preparing to tell him what had happened before, but before she could finish, a figure strode confidently into the Pope's Palace.

"Mom."

You were looking for me?

Qian Renxue followed Ghost Douluo to the Pope's Palace, walked calmly to the two of them, and said indifferently.

"Um?"

"Nana, we meet again."

Even Qian Renxue was taken aback when she saw Hu Liena, but she greeted her with a smile.

"Sister Xue'er."

The moment she saw the other person, Hu Liena's face lit up with a beautiful smile, but then, as if she suddenly realized something, her expression froze on the spot.

"You call me teacher..."

"Mom?"

Hu Liena's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Um?"

As soon as she uttered those words, the two people next to her both hummed in agreement, their faces filled with questions.

Is there a problem?

Qian Renxue smiled slightly and asked, seemingly puzzled.

"It seems you've met before."

Bibi Dong had obviously expected her disciple's reaction. The only thing she hadn't guessed was that the two of them had actually met before.

"She is the teacher's daughter, the young master of the Worship Hall, and along with Wulin and you, she is one of the most outstanding geniuses in the Spirit Hall."

"Future achievements will be no less than mine."

"I understand, teacher..."

Hu Liena struggled to her senses and nodded. She clearly still found it hard to understand why her teacher suddenly had a daughter, especially one from the bloodline of the Great Enshrined Qian Family.

"I'll need to guide Nana a lot from now on."

"I haven't been to Spirit City for too long. In many ways, I'll need your guidance."

Qian Renxue extended her hand and said with a smile.

There are many things she still needs to learn, such as Spirit City, and even more so, her younger brother Wulin.

The person in front of me is her senior sister, with whom she has spent many years, so she must know her better than I do.

"Um!"

"I will, Sister Xue'er."

Hu Liena smiled and nodded upon hearing this, then stepped forward and firmly grasped the other person's hand, speaking earnestly.

"I will become as amazing as Sister Xue'er."

"..."

"Oh?"

"Then you'll have to work harder."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue paused slightly, as if deep in thought. If she remembered correctly, the other party's Innate Soul Power was not at Innate Full Soul Power.

Not even half of her...

Well, commendable courage!

"But before that, you might want to try surpassing Wulin first."

She smiled slightly and said calmly.

"..."

Hu Liena remained silent, lost in thought.

Does Sister Xue'er really think... breaking through to the Soul King is so easy? She's already thankful if she can break through within a year.

"I originally planned to break through to Soul King and then follow my junior brother..."

"Well, we still need to consider this carefully."

A thought silently surfaced in her mind, her eyes, sparkling with allure, filled with hope as she pondered something.

"..."

"Ah-pee."

Far away in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Tang Wulin, who was about to end his Meditation, suddenly sneezed, his face blank.

Before he could even think about who was talking about him again, Zhu Zhuqing in front of him had already widened her eyes, her delicate body trembling slightly, clearly not expecting such a scene.

It looked like a kitten that had suddenly been frightened.

"Zhu Zhuqing, are you alright?"

Tang Wulin was taken aback, then stepped forward and pulled the other person into his arms, asking softly.

"No... it's nothing."

Zhu Zhuqing snuggled against him, still a little shocked. She had been watching Wulin intently when he suddenly woke up.

And then she sneezed.

This was unbearable for her, who was concentrating so intently.

"Let's go get something to eat."

Seeing her adorable appearance, Tang Wulin smiled and gently kissed her forehead, then took her hand and said...

"Good."

After that, the two quickly got up and left the room. After having a simple breakfast with Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they went together to the Council Hall.

"Sect Master Ning, His Highness has arrived. I won't keep you company any longer..."

"Haha, good, Elder Venom, come visit often when you have time."

At this moment, Dugu Bo was chatting happily with Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin next to him also had a smile on her face. Only Gu Rong had a bitter face, as if she had lost hundreds of millions.

Beside them, Ye Lianci, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan were already fully prepared and ready to go.

Today, the Ye Family's businesses in Heaven Dou City have long become key assets protected by the Spirit Hall Main Hall, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has numerous connections within Heaven Dou City...

Their advantages will only grow stronger in the future. If it weren't for the fact that the problem with the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul hadn't been resolved yet, they would be a shoo-in for the Lower Four Sects.

Dugu Bo had hardly prepared to bring anything, while Dugu Yan, unlike her, packed up everything useful in the house, not wasting a single thing.

Let alone her own Storage Soul Tool.

It was his grandfather Dugu Bo's Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, which at this moment was not entirely filled with authoritative items such as the Spirit Hall Elder Token; it even contained a few bags of bear-shaped biscuits.

"Sect Master Ning, we're getting ready to leave."

Tang Wulin stepped forward, his gaze falling on Ning Fengzhi, and said with a smile.

"Your His Highness Wulin, have a safe journey. Since there are many of you on this trip, Uncle Jian will accompany you."

"I'll be leaving my daughter in your care from now on. She's too lively; who knows how much trouble she'll cause in Spirit City? Please bear with her."

Ning Fengzhi spoke with a smile on his face.

"Dad, I didn't..."

Hearing her father say this, Ning Rongrong felt uncomfortable, but due to his serious gaze, she silently swallowed her words.

How could I possibly do this in front of Brother Tang...?

That's what you mean by her!

"Sect Master Ning, you're too kind. It's my duty to take care of Rongrong when she comes to my Spirit City. Besides, Rongrong is clever and mischievous, clearly the kind of person everyone likes. There's no need for such modesty."

Tang Wulin shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile.

"Um!"

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong straightened her back and her smile became even wider. Look how well Brother Tang sees her!

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, only holding her boyfriend's arm tightly, while Tang Wulin gradually suffered sins he shouldn't have to bear.

"Your Highness, let's go."

"Elder Sword, let's go together."

At this moment, Dugu Bo took one last look at Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, and while speaking, he took the lead in leading Tang Wulin, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling into the air.

Sword Douluo followed closely behind, carrying Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Ye Lianci, flying together towards Spirit City.

"Call..."

Watching Tang Wulin and his group leaving, the expression on Ning Fengzhi's face gradually faded, but it was still filled with emotion.

In just a few years, the other person has grown from a naive child into what they are today.

The Soul King genius, the Spirit Hall Holy Son, truly lives up to his name; his influence alone is enough to truly change the entire world.

The other party is only twelve years old, and has already reached this level in just six years since awakening their Martial Soul.

He can't possibly lose if he bets on his opponent.

"Fengzhi."

"Why won't you let me, Uncle Gu, go with Rongrong to Spirit City? Last time, it was Old Sword Man who went. What about me? What about me?"

Beside him, Gu Rong's eyes held a hint of resentment, breaking Ning Fengzhi's previously poignant demeanor.

"..."

"Uncle Gu, I'll definitely let you go next time."

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback, but as he turned around, he quickly smiled and waved.

"Really?"

"Real."

"Haha, that's good."

Hearing this answer, Gu Rong's mood improved, completely oblivious to the helpless look on the faces of those around him.

"Uncle Gu and Uncle Jian..."

"Why do we have to argue about something as simple as who goes with Rongrong?"

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but think to himself, "These two have really been a bickering couple for so many years."

"But I still hope so."

"I Rongrong can make more progress in Spirit City, rather than really wanting to stay by His Highness Wulin, and that Xiao Wu..."

He muttered to himself with a sigh, clearly thinking of his daughter's bold remarks in the past.

Geniuses are often like this, especially a peerless prodigy like His Highness Wulin; he naturally has many female confidantes...

Is that alright?

Hmm, no problem!

"..."
