Skywater Academy Enters the Game
"Oscar, the Star Crown Sect is just ahead. A disciple will show you around the sect. You can get resources at the pharmacy by mentioning my name."
"Good."
After handing Oscar over to the sect disciples, Xu Mingxi brought Shao Xin to the Sect Master Hall. After explaining their situation and the previous promise to the Sect Master, she then had Shao Xin take the certificate to the First Elder in charge of guarding the Treasure Vault.
Once only the Sect Master and Xu Mingxi remained in the main hall, the Sect Master put down the documents in his hand and invited Xu Mingxi to sit down.
The Sect Master had thought he could relax a bit after Xu Mingxi returned, but he didn't expect him to go out again as soon as he came back, leaving him to handle sect affairs himself.
"Mingxi, what's going on with Shao Xin and Oscar? Why did you suddenly bring them back to the sect and promise them the position of Elder? This is not like you."
"Shao Xin is not important. What is important is Oscar. He is a food-type Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power. He will at least become a Titled Douluo in the future."
"Really? Such high talent! I heard that little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect only has level nine Innate Soul Power."
"Authenticity guaranteed".
Xu Mingxi looked at the Sect Master and suddenly thought of something, something that might make Oscar and Shao Xin completely loyal to the Star Crown Sect.
"Sect Master, I wonder if the sect knows where Shi Nian is?"
"Shi Nian? Isn't that the Soul Saint with the Lingering Dream Martial Soul? I think he's the vice dean of the Canghui Academy."
At that Shi Nian, he was quite famous on the mainland, and the Sect Master had some impression of him. However, after Dean Wen, the former dean of the Canghui Academy who had a good relationship with the Star Crown Sect, retired, he basically lost contact with them, and he didn't know the specifics now.
"Yes, that's him. I've received information that he has a Head Soul Bone that has the ability to create illusions. It's probably around ten thousand years old, which would be perfect for Brother Mingguang."
"The Illusion Soul Bone is indeed quite suitable for Mingguang. The Illusion Soul Bone that the First Elder brought back before is now on his body. With the two combined, and his Fifth Soul Skill, Star Radiance Bewitchment, he might really be able to kill people invisibly."
"That's right. Moreover, perhaps Brother Xu Mingguang can use illusions to influence Oscar and make him completely loyal to our Star Crown Sect."
"Alright, I'll have Mingguang make the trip. We haven't sent anyone to the Star Luo Kingdom in a long time, so I'll have Mingguang pay a visit while we're at it."
After Xu Mingxi finished dealing with his business, just as he was about to leave, he was informed by the Sect Master that Song Jiang and Shui Fu had come to the Star Crown Sect to find him, and they had brought with them a pair of twins from the Shui Family, one of whom was the future heir of the Shui Family.
The Shui Family? Twins? This combination suddenly felt familiar to Xu Mingxi. After asking the Sect Master, she confirmed that the Shui Family was the family behind the Skywater Academy, the family of the Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sisters.
"Skywater Academy, their appearance was truly impressive. I still remember Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul vividly."
Xu Mingxi walked towards the waiting room. In her previous life, when the team members from the Skywater Academy made their appearance, their faces and figures attracted the love of countless people.
Moreover, the Five Element Academies are not small forces. Even though the Elephant Armor Sect has now submitted to the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is being destroyed, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
The remaining Four Element Academies also have at least four Soul Douluo, which is a force that cannot be ignored.
Moreover, Huo Wu Feng Xiaotian also have the potential to become Titled Douluo, but there is no longer enough time for them to grow.
In the waiting room, Song Jiang sat with Shui Fu and Shui Bing'er, while Shui Yue'er touched and looked around, unable to settle down.
Looking at her lively and adorable younger sister, Shui Bing'er sighed silently. She understood her grandmother's meaning: she wanted to find a powerful backer for the Shui Family. For the sake of the family, she could only ask Yue'er to make the sacrifice.
Shui Fu, as the aunt, did not think so. Having traveled outside for many years, she knew that for a female Soul Master, marriage was also an opportunity to cross social classes.
Compared to her older sister Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er's talent is still lacking. If she could marry a genius disciple of the Star Crown Sect, it's hard to say who would have a higher status in the future.
"Aunt Shui Fu, does Yue'er really have to do it this way?"
"Bing'er, this is the fate of the family's children, and how do you know it's not a good thing for her?"
"Sister, Aunt, what are you talking about? Come and see, it's so beautiful outside!"
Shui Yue'er leaned against the windowsill, looking outside. The Silver Moon had quietly climbed into the sky, and the night Starfall Mountain with the glittering Starlight, making it the most beautiful time of the night.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Shui Yue'er quickly climbed down from the windowsill and sat down next to her sister. Coming from a large family, she was lively but still very polite.
Seeing Xu Mingxi open the door and walk in, Song Jiang and Shui Fu quickly got up to greet her with their niece.
"Young Master Xu, it's been a long time."
"Sit down, sit down, don't be so polite Shui Fu, these two are your little girls, right?"
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xu Mingxi asked the sect disciples to show them around the sect, and also suggested that the Shui Bing'er sisters get to know the younger generation of the Star Crown Sect better.
Nowadays, the Star Crown Sect has recruited many people from other clans, and the sect is finally much more lively. It is no longer the time when only two or three people awaken their Martial Soul each year.
During their conversation, Xu Mingxi had already discerned that the Shui Family intended to form a marriage alliance with the Star Crown Sect, and that the intended partner was Shui Yue'er.
He naturally wouldn't object. Not to mention that Shui Yue'er herself was quite good, the fact that they could win over the Shui Family and Skywater Academy behind her, and even make contact with the other three elemental academies, meant that they would have gained a lot from this marriage.
As for whether the two families are destined to be together, it depends on whether Shui Yue'er and the youngsters of the Star Crown Sect have any feelings about it. Even if things don't work out, the two families will have a basis for contact.
As a result, Xu Mingxi had just returned home after dealing with the Shui Family's affairs when she saw her father holding a letter, his face full of distress.
"Father, what happened?"
"It's all because of your younger brother. This time he actually sent a letter saying that the Zhu Family wants to form a marriage alliance with the Star Crown Sect. I told you I wouldn't let him go to the Star Luo Royal Academy back then. Now look what happened."
"Is the Zhu Family... their young lady?"
"Yes, her name is Zhu Zhuqing. I heard she has good talent. It's because the third prince of the Star Luo Empire ran away, and her status is relatively high. There was no suitable candidate from the Dai Family's collateral branch, so she didn't marry into the royal family."
"What did the Sect Master say?"
"The Sect Master said it was possible. Mingwei's son is the right age. He's just worried that the Star Crown Sect might get caught up in the power struggle in the Star Luo Empire."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Mingxi decided to persuade the Sect Master to agree. The Zhu Family had been operating in the Star Luo Empire for a long time, and apart from their lack of strength, their connections were terrifying.
