The Invincible Yan, the Simp

Yan's martial soul was the Flame Lord. A level thirty-five Soul Elder, he was highly valued within Spirit Hall. Along with Xie Yue and Hu Liena, he was known as Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. Bibi Dong had personally awarded all three of them Purple Record Medals, making them famous.

"I didn't refuse, did I?" Ye Tianxing asked in confusion.

"Then you agreed!" Yan suddenly shouted.

"I didn't agree either." Ye Tianxing shook his head and continued, "Brother Yan, Sister Nana and I are just ordinary friends. You've misunderstood."

"No, I saw it," Yan said firmly.

Ye Tianxing was startled. "What did you see?"

"Just now, Nana asked you what kind of girl you liked."

Wherever Hu Liena was, Yan's shadow was sure to be there.

"I said I like understanding, charming, cute older girls. Is there a problem?" Ye Tianxing naturally understood why Bibi Dong had sent Hu Liena to ask that question. His teacher, Radiant Feather Douluo, had warned him about it long ago.

Bibi Dong would not let this go easily. This was already good enough—it was fortunate she had not resorted to force.

So he would fool her if he could. If he could not fool her in the end, he still had his teacher and the others.

"There's a problem! A huge problem! I saw Nana run away with her face red! Doesn't that prove there's a huge problem?"

The moment Yan saw Hu Liena run off blushing, his whole world collapsed.

Yan had pursued Hu Liena for years without making any progress. Although he was on excellent terms with Hu Liena's older brother, Xie Yue, it had done nothing to change Hu Liena's attitude toward him.

Having witnessed all this, Yan naturally jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Hu Liena had only blushed because she imagined her teacher's next method—a honey trap?

Bibi Dong was someone who would stop at nothing. The value Ye Tianxing had displayed was simply too high. No method was excessive, as long as it did not go too far.

Spirit Hall was divided into two factions: Qian Daoliu's and Bibi Dong's. Their struggle had grown increasingly intense, but Ye Tianxing's sudden appearance had broken the balance between them.

In other words, whoever gained control of Ye Tianxing would have greater authority in the future.

Ye Tianxing was only six and a half years old, yet his Soul Power had already reached level twenty-three. With such monstrous talent, extraordinary encounters no ordinary person could have, and his own incredible perseverance, he had used the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Body to obtain a thousand-year second Spirit Ring.

All of this constantly refreshed Bibi Dong's understanding, which was why she had decided to start with Ye Tianxing's preferences.

However, Ye Tianxing's preferences left Bibi Dong somewhat bewildered. This kid actually liked older girls?

But thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Men were all the same.

Yan had liked Hu Liena and pursued her for years without getting anywhere. Ye Tianxing was a boy too.

But this brat was only six!

Was something wrong somewhere?

Seeing Yan's reddened eyes, Ye Tianxing could not help sighing. "Brother Yan, there really isn't anything between Sister Nana and me. I'm only six. What could I possibly do?"

Just then, Hu Liena happened to walk out of the Pope's Palace. She had not gone far before spotting Ye Tianxing ahead of her.

Because of what had happened earlier, Hu Liena was still thinking about that sentence. She glanced at Yan and gave him a slight nod in greeting.

Just as the flames of Yan's love began to blaze again, Hu Liena said, "Tianxing, Sister Nana has a question for you."

Pfft!

The rekindled flames of love were extinguished once more. Yan's entire body went cold. Watching Ye Tianxing stand so close to his beloved Nana, he nearly ground his molars to pieces.

"Sister Nana, what is it?"

"Was what you said earlier true? You really like... older girls?" Hu Liena blushed as she stared at Ye Tianxing in astonishment. She was deeply curious. Those words coming from a six-year-old's mouth were not normal!

"Sister Nana, let's be frank. We're both from Spirit Hall, so why distinguish between us? To be honest, Her Holiness the Pope is a little extreme in the way she does things. I represent the Worship Hall, and you represent the Pope's Palace. You know better than I do about the relationship between Grandpa Qian Daoliu and your teacher. I'm sick of all this infighting every day. Instead of wasting time fighting among ourselves, wouldn't it be better to make plans for Spirit Hall's future development? Aren't you tired of fighting all day?" Ye Tianxing felt miserable being caught in the middle, so he laid everything out plainly.

"..." Hu Liena fell silent for a moment, understanding what Ye Tianxing meant.

"I know. But I'm only Teacher's disciple. I can only carry out her decisions. There's nothing I can do about it. Sometimes, I feel helpless too." Hu Liena sighed. Just now, she had nearly thought her teacher was going to arrange a marriage for her.

"So what you said was a lie."

"You believed a lie?" Ye Tianxing smiled.

"I almost did, because..." Hu Liena wanted to say that he was only six. How could he possibly seem like a child who would lie?

"Oh, right. There's something else I think you'll be interested in..." Hu Liena leaned close to Ye Tianxing's ear and spoke softly.

Yan's heart shattered into pieces at the sight.

They actually had a little secret between them, and they would not even tell me!

Ye Tianxing's eyes lit up after hearing her. He then turned to Yan, whose face was ashen, and smiled. "But some people are bound to misunderstand. He even stopped me from leaving earlier."

Hu Liena was a smart woman. At a glance, she understood what the problem was.

"You go. I'll talk to Yan."

Ye Tianxing nodded and walked straight past Yan.

Throughout the whole process, Yan did not stop him again. Instead, he watched Hu Liena with deep affection as she drew closer and closer before him, closer and closer, closer and...

Why did she stop?

Shouldn't she have come a little closer?

"Yan, I hope you'll stay away from Tianxing in the future. He and I only have a normal older sister-younger brother relationship, so please don't misunderstand."

Hu Liena seemed to have become accustomed to Yan's daily greetings, which occasionally came with special surprises.

None of it mattered to Hu Liena. In her heart, the only thing she wanted to do in this life was make Spirit Hall flourish.

"Nana, I..."

Without giving Yan the chance to speak, Hu Liena turned and left as well. Her departing figure was resolute, as though she were severing Yan's hopes.

"Nana, this must be a test you've given me. You deliberately had Ye Tianxing say those words to test my feelings for you."

The flames of Yan's love blazed once again. His feelings for Hu Liena had risen to an even greater level.

Not far away, Ye Tianxing, who had witnessed everything, had the corner of his mouth twitching wildly.

"Yan is beyond saving. Even self-hypnosis isn't this ridiculous. No wonder he refuses to let Hu Liena go. I really don't know what he's thinking."

There were countless oddballs in the world, and Spirit Hall accounted for half of them—especially the love-brained ones.

Back in his own room in the Worship Hall, Ye Tianxing took out a map of the Douluo Continent from his desk drawer and marked it.

"Sister Nana really did access the information on Tang San that I had in the Intelligence Department. Bibi Dong must have seen it. With her perceptiveness, she must have made a judgment about Tang San having Innate Full Soul Power while his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. In that case..."

Ye Tianxing drew an X over the area of Holy Spirit Village on the map, then turned his gaze toward "Suotuo City."
