Their Respective Intelligence (Part 1)

10 PM.

There are fewer people on the night market streets now.

Zhou Qing, Ning Rongrong, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all returned to the alley where they had agreed to meet on time.

While munching on a roast goose and smacking her lips, Xiao Wu spoke first, "I asked many shops about the terrifying legends in the city, and the most useful information I got was that someone had personally witnessed those missing people being kidnapped by men in black, and those men in black were wearing White-Soled Black Boots that only Dales ' servants could wear."

Then, Romantina shared the information she had learned and introduced her friend from Falling Star City: You Hui.

What the hell?! Bringing a girl we don't even know here, isn't that a bit too casual?

To be honest, Zhou Qing wanted to say it out loud, but considering that Ning Rongrong had also temporarily joined in, it would be a double standard to say it like that.

After all, apart from Zhou Qing, no one present had God's eye view.

"Zhou Qing, Tang San, you come from Holy Soul Village. Do you know if any outsiders have joined us in the past six years?"

Upon hearing Romantina's question, Zhou Qing looked at Tang San.

"My father is the only outsider in the village," Tang San said, then added, "But I'm certain that my father is definitely not a resident of Falling Star City or any of the surrounding villages! After all, he is—"

Tang San didn't say anything after that.

But Romantina and Xiao Wu, seeing his confident words and the fact that he seemed to have some unspeakable secret, chose to believe him and stopped questioning him on this point.

"In that case, the missing persons in Falling Star City are very likely related to Dales." Romantina frowned.

"Um, your initial purpose in coming here was to find a Soul Ancestor, right? Tina already told me that," You Hui interjected weakly, speaking softly.

Isn't this girl a little too introverted?

Zhou Qing suddenly realized that people who could become friends with Romantina seemed to have unusual personalities.

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong all looking at her, You Hui involuntarily lowered her head, her face turning red at a visible speed, extremely nervous.

Another problem child!

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly and encouraged her, "Don't be nervous. Under normal circumstances, no matter what you say wrong, we won't laugh at you. Please believe that Romantina next to you has already demonstrated all the embarrassing situations we can imagine, and she is very likely to continue to break through her own limits in the future."

"Ah--"

Romantina covered her face, which had turned bright red in an instant, and complained to Zhou Qing with a hint of excitement, "How dare you slander me like that in front of my old friend! You really don't give me any face at all~ Ha~ Whew~"

Zhou Qing, who was already used to this, remained completely unfazed. He simply gazed at You Hui and asked, "I think you should know what kind of person she really is, right?"

"Yes, but it's Tina's freedom. It takes a lot of courage to show your true self in front of others."

Perhaps sensing the slight disdain for Romantina in Zhou Qing's tone, You Hui became somewhat agitated at this moment, causing the fat on her chest, which was even more saturated than Romantina's, to sway up and down.

So much so that Zhou Qing stared intently for a moment. "Alright, let's get back to the main topic. You seem to know the whereabouts of that Soul Ancestor?"

Although they are currently investigating his biological parents, their main purpose in coming to Falling Star City is to track down the Soul Ancestor.

Therefore, if You Hui has any news, we can do this first.

"I've also found out some information about that Soul Ancestor, but let's hear what Miss You Hui has to say first." Tang San planned to listen to You Hui's information to see if it was related to what he had found out.

"Um, you don't need to call me Miss."

You Hui was a little nervous. "Since you are Tina's friends, then you are my friends too. You can call me Youyou, Huihui, or just my name, You Hui, it's all fine."

"Yes, Miss You Hui."

Seeing how adorable You Hui, Zhou Qing couldn't resist teasing her a little.

"No problem, Miss Discount." Xiao Wu replied in the same way.

"Miss You Hui, please tell us what you know about that Soul Ancestor." Tang San has been spending too much time with Zhou Qing and has become corrupted as well.

You Hui was able to sense Zhou Qing and the others teasing her, and her face flushed red, but her nervousness seemed to have lessened somewhat.

Because she seemed to understand why Romantina had become new friends with them.

"Here's what happened—"

You Hui slowly revealed the inside story she knew, "Half a year ago, I graduated from the Nuoding Academy and returned to Falling Star City. When I passed by the Dales' Mansion, I happened to see a Soul Master with extremely strong Soul Power fluctuations entering the gate with Dales. I don't know his exact level, but his Soul Power fluctuations were about three or four times stronger than those of Soul Grandmaster."

"That must be a Soul Ancestor level expert."

Zhou Qing was certain, "The Soul Power fluctuations of Soul Elder level cultivator couldn't possibly be three or four times stronger than those of Soul Grandmaster, and there's something else very strange about that..."

Most Soul Master in the Douluo Continent do not know how to conceal their aura, meaning they do not know how to minimize the fluctuations of their Soul Power. Therefore, it is easy for them to discern each other's Soul Master identities.

But!

Without Soul Master actively circulating their Soul Power, the Soul Power stored in the Dantian will instinctively emit corresponding fluctuations, but it shouldn't be as strong as You Hui described.

That Soul Ancestor was constantly circulating his Soul Power while walking, sitting, and lying down!

But how can the Meridians in the body withstand it?

Unless there is a problem in cultivation that causes Soul Power to leak out, or the Soul Power Level has just broken through and the Soul Power has not been fully controlled, the Soul Power will be like raindrops falling on the surface of a lake, constantly rippling and causing the Soul Power fluctuations to spread outward.

"I don't know about that."

Hearing Zhou Qing say this, You Hui shook her head, but her eyes lit up at the fact that Zhou Qing could come up with such a reasoning, and she asked curiously, "Do you have unique insights into Soul Power cultivation?"

"Um... I guess so."

Zhou Qing realized that You Hui could not be considered one of their own in this group, nor could Ning Rongrong beside him. Therefore, he immediately changed the subject, "We can talk about Soul Power cultivation another time. Now, please continue to Huihui us about the Soul Ancestor."

"I didn't pay attention at the time, but when I was far away from Dales' mansion, I heard a scream!"

You Hui nodded and continued, "It was a terrible experience. The hairs on the back of my head stood on end, and my head was buzzing. I was so scared that I ran away immediately and tried my best not to think about it..."
