"Miss, please wait!"
Ah Yin was very cunning. If he let her run off like this, it would not be easy for Qian Yunxiao to encounter her again.
So, when Ah Yin showed signs of leaving, Qian Yunxiao hurriedly spoke to stop her.
This made Ah Yin even more nervous. She did not dare look at the tall, imposing Qian Yunxiao, looking like a startled rabbit as she trembled and asked, "Y-you... what do you want?"
Qian Yunxiao walked up to Ah Yin. Looking at the beauty a head shorter than himself, he smiled softly. "Miss, I see that despite your young age, you already possess level fifty cultivation. You truly are an unparalleled genius. Would you be willing to join Spirit Hall? Spirit Hall will devote all its resources to nurturing you."
The current Ah Yin had not yet reached level seventy and completely transformed into a human.
At barely twenty-something, having level fifty cultivation was already an astonishing talent.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was terrifying indeed. Among humans, there were truly few geniuses who could compare.
Qian Yunxiao's invitation nearly scared Ah Yin senseless.
Though she was a soul beast, she knew what kind of existence Spirit Hall was.
It was the strongest organization among humans, rumored to have a double-digit number of Titled Douluo!
Join Spirit Hall? Ah Yin pictured a scene.
A tender little lamb voluntarily delivering itself before a pack of hungry wolves.
A group of Titled Douluo staring at her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring with wicked smiles...
How could she be that foolish? "I'm sorry! I... I don't want to join Spirit Hall! I'm very sorry!"
Ah Yin knew that the handsome man before her meant well and was considering her interests, hoping to make her stronger.
But there was no way Ah Yin could join Spirit Hall!
Ah Yin's rejection was within Qian Yunxiao's expectations, but he did not give up. He followed up, "May I know the reason?"
Ah Yin certainly could not give Qian Yunxiao a reason.
She was truly in such a difficult position right now! At this moment, the ordinary onlookers around them also began speaking up.
"Miss, Spirit Hall is the sacred place in the hearts of countless soul masters. Being invited by the Hall Master is a dream come true. You should join!"
"That's right! Hall Master Qian is a good man. Since he came to our Skywater City, every commoner child in Skywater City has been able to graduate safely. You can't go wrong following the Hall Master!"
"When my child graduates in the future, I'll have him follow in the Hall Master's footsteps and contribute to the continent!"
The discussions around her left Ah Yin even more unsure of how to respond.
Blue Silver Grass... was inherently a peculiar species that tangled together at the slightest bit of stimulation.
Ah Yin had now fallen into that state. Her hands were clasped tightly together, and she looked exceptionally nervous.
From what these people said, Ah Yin guessed that Qian Yunxiao might be a good person.
But... but she truly could not join Spirit Hall.
"Everyone, don't put pressure on this young lady. I believe she has her reasons. Let this matter end here."
Qian Yunxiao had not expected these ordinary people to enjoy joining in the commotion so much.
Seeing Ah Yin looking so nervous she was about to cry, Qian Yunxiao hurriedly spoke up for her.
Once he spoke, the ordinary soul masters nearby all fell silent.
Qian Yunxiao took out a token and said, "Miss, this is an Elder Token of Spirit Hall. Keep it with you. You can use it to contact me directly at any Spirit Hall anywhere on the continent. Whenever you have thought it through, you can come find me. I will always be waiting for you."
As Qian Daoliu's son, it was perfectly normal for him to possess a Spirit Hall Elder Token.
You could not catch a wolf without bait. There was no need to rush.
After Qian Yunxiao finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Ah Yin momentarily bewildered.
The Elder Token in her hand felt exceptionally heavy.
Ah Yin returned to the ordinary inn room she had rented in a daze.
Looking at the Elder Token, Ah Yin actually had a reckless thought—should she go to Spirit Hall and give it a try?
Ah Yin had always liked taking risks. Otherwise, she would not have chosen to take human form and come to the human world.
She thought to herself, The Spirit Hall branch in Skywater City doesn't have anyone at the Soul Douluo level.
As long as I don't go to Spirit Hall's main hall, nothing should happen, right?
While Ah Yin was struggling with her decision, Qian Yunxiao had already mobilized the soul masters of Skywater City's Spirit Hall.
Now, Skywater City's exits were heavily guarded by Qian Yunxiao.
Qian Yunxiao gave Ah Yin two choices.
A toast or a penalty drink! The toast was naturally waiting for Ah Yin to come to Spirit Hall herself and deliver herself to his door.
In that case, Qian Yunxiao would only adopt a gentle approach toward Ah Yin and pursue her slowly.
The penalty drink was... Qian Yunxiao having Ah Yin captured and brought back!
As an important figure in Spirit Hall,
it was reasonable for him to capture soul beasts, wasn't it?
It was reasonable to lock soul beasts in cages, wasn't it? It was reasonable to discipline soul beasts with a whip, wasn't it?
Of course, Qian Yunxiao would not personally do it.
He would use other forces to capture Ah Yin while he maneuvered behind the scenes.
Qian Yunxiao was also looking forward to seeing what choice Ah Yin would make! The next day, the outcome satisfied him immensely.
Ah Yin... had come to his doorstep! In other words, she had walked right into the trap!
"Miss, Spirit Hall welcomes you to join us!"
Qian Yunxiao was thrilled inside.
Ah Yin was also a woman he had long yearned for.
In his eyes, Ah Yin was far better than little girls like Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena!
Perhaps because Qian Yunxiao was already an adult, his way of thinking had naturally shifted to that of an adult.
Excited as he was, Qian Yunxiao would not act impulsively because of it.
He went to Ah Yin and personally welcomed her into Spirit Hall.
Qian Yunxiao had also made many preparations to welcome Ah Yin.
At the very least... Spirit Hall had been decorated somewhat, giving Ah Yin a different impression of the place.
Ah Yin also felt that Qian Yunxiao, this steady and composed man, seemed different from the other humans she had encountered before.
"Miss, may I know your name?"
After bringing Ah Yin into Spirit Hall and having her sit down, Qian Yunxiao began his act.
Ah Yin said softly, "Hall Master, you... can call me Ah Yin."
She was Blue Silver Grass, without father or mother, and no one had ever given her a name.
After coming to the human world and learning of such things, she named herself Ah Yin.
After praising Ah Yin's name, Qian Yunxiao began making arrangements. "Mm, Miss Ah Yin, your strength is sufficient for you to serve as the Third Elder of our Skywater City Spirit Hall branch. If you do not wish to, I can also recommend you to join Skywater Academy as a teacher. Skywater Academy is full of women like you. I believe you should know that."
Ah Yin nodded. "I... I'd rather join Spirit Hall..."
If she had wanted to join Skywater Academy, Ah Yin would have done so long ago.
After thinking it over, she felt that joining Spirit Hall would also be of great help to her.
At the very least... Spirit Hall definitely possessed the most comprehensive materials regarding soul beasts.
"Mm, then from now on, you will be the Third Elder of our Spirit Hall. You will receive a monthly salary of one thousand Gold Soul Coins, along with other benefits."
Qian Yunxiao had not expected Ah Yin to join Spirit Hall so smoothly.
He briefly explained the benefits Ah Yin could receive.
Of course, Qian Yunxiao was very vague about what Ah Yin would have to give in return.
