Background / History
Ye Lingling is the granddaughter of Ye Tianxin and the inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. Only two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters can exist in a given era, making her a target for factions seeking to monopolize the Martial Soul's healing inheritance. 4 6
She and Dugu Yan were childhood playmates; their elders were old acquaintances. After Ye Tianxin disappeared following a wolf-bandit attack, Dugu Yan learned that Ye Lingling was being closely monitored at the Plant Primary Soul Master Academy in Silvis City and arranged for Qin Yuan to escort her to Heaven Dou City. 4 5
The Liu family and the Silvis Royal Family sought to control her, with the Liu family particularly interested in exploiting her healing ability to gain favors from powerful people. 5 6 Qin Yuan used a decoy scheme to extract her from Silvis City. She escaped through the academy on a leave slip, changed clothes at a shop, and left the city with him through its back exit. 7
During their flight, Liu family elder Liu Chen confronted them. Ye Lingling healed Qin Yuan's injuries during his prolonged battle against the Spirit Emperor, allowing him to outlast and kill Liu Chen. 8 After reaching Heaven Dou City, she chose to have Qin Yuan obtain her second Soul Ring before entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy, trusting him despite having other potential assistance available. 9 10
She later shared a dormitory with Dugu Yan at the academy. When Dugu Yan was poisoned, Ye Lingling sought Qin Yuan's help and attempted to heal her, but could still sense the accumulated poison inside Dugu Yan's body. 22 23
Personality
Initially, Ye Lingling is quiet, guarded, and isolated. At the Plant Primary Soul Master Academy, she sits apart from her classmates, avoids showing off despite excellent academic performance, and keeps her thoughts to herself because of the pressure surrounding her. 5
Her reserve does not stem from an inability to communicate. Once Qin Yuan establishes that Dugu Yan sent him, she openly explains the threats facing her and her grandfather's disappearance. 5 She is also composed under pressure, following Qin Yuan's escape plan without panicking and demonstrating enough awareness to ask him to arrange a decoy. 6 7
