Resolving Grudges, Cultivation Speed, and Martial Soul Rampages

The carriage sped along, revealing the luxurious interior.

The negative effects of Broad Hill's previous actions are now becoming apparent.

The master and apprentice looked at the girl opposite them, and the girl also looked at the master and apprentice. The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

In particular, Shui Bing'er shrank back when she saw Broad Hill, which clearly showed that she didn't have a very good impression of him.

"Okay, Xiao Li, you talk to her, I'm going out for some fresh air."

Broad Hill gave her apprentice a look, lifted the carriage curtain and went out, then quietly climbed onto the top of the carriage, pressed her ear against the carriage wall, and eavesdropped on the sounds inside.

After Broad Hill left, Han Li didn't speak immediately. Instead, he just stared at her until Shui Bing'er felt a little uncomfortable and was about to look away when he suddenly spoke.

"I'm sorry to have met you this way."

"You don't need to apologize. Although everyone says that master and disciple are one, I can still tell them apart. Thank you for helping me suppress the signs of my Martial Soul going out of control that day."

Shui Bing'er spoke her first words since getting on the bus.

"Yes, but one thing at a time, my apology is for what happened that day."

Han Li answered bluntly, "To be honest, the root of your troubles lies with me."

Hearing his answer, Shui Bing'er was a little puzzled. She just stared at him, her eyes seeming to speak, as if asking him why he said that.

"The reason why Master is curious about you is because I have read your information many times and am very curious about your Martial Soul Possession state."

"So what? You just stormed into my house and forcibly took on disciples on my brother's behalf?"

Shui Bing'er suppressed the anger in her voice.

"Yes, although there are many complicated things in between that I can't explain to you, that's the result."

Han Li shrugged and said helplessly, "My master didn't say it like this at first; he clearly said it was a discussion. But after arriving here, with the influence of the local Spirit Hall, some things have become uncontrollable."

"Is it because Mom and the others are suppressing the Spirit Hall in Skywater City?"

Shui Bing'er was undoubtedly intelligent. Upon hearing his answer, she immediately recalled what Broad Hill had said to Su Rou.

"Skywater City? When did the city change its name?" Han Li looked at Shui Bing'er and asked curiously.

"Well, I've called it that since I can remember," Shui Bing'er said somewhat vaguely.

"So, you understand?"

"Understood."

"Great, it's so comfortable talking to smart people. If you can't get over this mental hurdle yourself, then it will be difficult."

"Um."

"Very well, let's get to know each other again, Spirit Hall, Han Li."

"Spirit Hall, Shui Bing'er."

The two hands touch politely, then quickly separate.

"Alright, since there are no problems, you can ask any other questions you may have."

Han Li looked at the girl who was no longer as timid as before.

"My future teacher," Shui Bing'er said simply after a moment's thought.

"The Third Offering Worship Hall the Spirit Hall, whose title is Azure Luan and Martial Soul is Azure Luan with the wind attribute, is currently breaking through. By the time we return, he should have broken through to Level 97."

Han Li introduced it casually.

"Wind attribute? Then why did he choose me as his disciple? If he's taking on disciples, wouldn't it be better to choose someone of the same attribute? For example, the Broad Hill Elder."

Shui Bing'er frowned slightly and looked at Han Li.

"If you ask why, it might be because you were chosen for him by me and my master? He doesn't even know he has a disciple like you yet?" Han Li was a little embarrassed, but still forced himself to speak.

"Um?"

Shui Bing'er's eyes widened in surprise; she hadn't expected that her teacher didn't even know she was a disciple.

"Well, it's absurd, but that's the truth. Now you should have a new understanding of my master, right?" Han Li decisively shifted the blame onto Broad Hill.

"I guess so."

Shui Bing'er felt a throbbing pain in her head. She pressed her temples and looked at Han Li with an indescribable expression. "If he doesn't take me in, will you send me back?"

"Obviously not. At worst, you'll go from being a junior sister to a direct disciple," Han Li replied decisively.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about this problem. You are the person I chose, and neither your senior brother nor your master should refuse. Even if it doesn't work out, it shouldn't be difficult to find you a titled teacher."

"The person you chose, do you hold a high position in the Spirit Hall?"

"Just some nobody. You've heard of me before?"

No, not at all.

"Well, that settles it then. I only know about a dozen titles, and the number of people I'm on good terms with barely exceeds one palm's width."

"Isn't that a very high status?"

"That's all because they're being kind to you."

"When you talk, I can't be sure which of your words are true."

"I'm telling the truth."

"Only a fool would believe you."

When Broad Hill re-entered the carriage from the roof, she saw the two already chatting familiarly.

Seeing him come in, Shui Bing'er was no longer afraid at first and nodded as a greeting.

Broad Hill smiled and nodded in response, but the way she looked at Han Li was a little strange.

He knew this kid had always been a social butterfly, but to be honest, he had seen it all – how could he resolve a previous grudge in less than half an hour and still chat happily with someone?

If we send him to Xiao Xue, won't Heaven Dou Empire soon be surnamed Qian?

The thought suddenly flashed through Broad Hill's mind, but he quickly rejected it. Given the kid's personality, he probably wouldn't get involved in this mess even if he were beaten to death.

With Shui Bing'er's problem resolved, the rest of the trip became much more pleasant.

With her playful and mischievous personality, Broad Hill quickly became friends with the two of them, and the initial awkwardness disappeared.

Han Li Shui Bing'er's database as well.

Shui Bing'er, eight years old, Innate Soul Power level nine, Martial Soul Ice Phoenix level nineteen.

In fact, Broad Hill and Han Li were quite surprised when they learned about Shui Bing'er's situation, because Shui Bing'er's cultivation speed was obviously abnormal. Even though Skywater Academy had the most suitable Simulated Environment for her, it was still a bit exaggerated. She was only slightly behind Bibi Dong, who was in the same period.

Then, after further questioning, it was learned that although the last time it was the second time her Martial Soul had gone out of control, her Martial Soul frequently went berserk.

During each riot, although she cannot use Soul Skill, and even at this stage she has difficulty mobilizing Soul Power normally, she may even cause some impact on the surrounding environment.

However, this also accelerated her cultivation speed. Each time her Martial Soul surged, it was equivalent to the results of a month of normal cultivation, which is why her Soul Power cultivation speed was so fast.
