To Break the Curse, Find Me at the Sky Mending Pavilion

"Captain!"

Under an eave, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team stood up in unison.

The recent explosion had produced a Light Explosion, and the earth-shattering sensation was something they, as Soul Masters, could clearly perceive. Under this attack, Yu Tianheng seemed to be heavily injured.

On the martial stage, the smoke from the explosion quickly dissipated.

As all the onlookers looked forward, Yu Xiaogang, who had been confident moments ago, now lay on the ground, covered in injuries.

"Ah..."

Yu Tianheng let out a pained cry.

During the explosion, the power of the Light Explosion had also raised the temperature, making his body feel as if it were being roasted.

"Is he going to be cooked?"

"The explosion seemed more severe than we imagined."

"A Three-Ring Soul Elder at such a young age has broken the continent's history and the age gap."

Many Soul Masters discussed amongst themselves. One man said:

"Your captain might be about to be fully cooked. Aren't you going to heal him?"

As he spoke, a woman with a gentle yet cold demeanor and a beautiful appearance arrived on the martial stage.

The young woman raised her hands slightly, and a pink and white Nine Heart Begonia immediately appeared in her hands.

Nine petals, with a pale gold center.

Then, milky white and light pink light spread out from her, transforming into countless thin, begonia petal-shaped light particles that slowly drifted down.

The light particles merged into Yu Tianheng's body upon contact. His slightly hot skin gradually cooled down.

In just a moment, Yu Tianheng slightly opened his eyes. He looked at his teammates in front of him, then at Li Qingxuan, who was still standing in his original spot on the other side.

The recent battle had completely overturned his worldview.

Despite the significant age difference, he had still been easily defeated by the young man before him.

"Cough, cough."

Yu Tianheng coughed twice.

Shi Mo and Shi Mo, two sturdy and seemingly simple-minded teammates, quickly came to the martial stage and, supporting Yu Tianheng on either side, helped him up.

"Thank you for your trouble, Ye Lingling."

"It's all part of my duty."

Ye Lingling showed little emotion, maintaining the demeanor of a cool and gentle young lady. She retracted her martial soul and walked towards the audience.

The other team members wanted to go up and demand an explanation, but Yu Tianheng stopped them.

"Don't go. That person is very strong. He didn't use his full power when he fought me," Yu Tianheng said.

Very strong, indeed. A Three-Ring Soul Elder, as rumored.

Osler, Yufeng, and Dugu Yan could only give up.

On the martial arts stage, Li Qingxuan's eyes, flashing with the Blazing Sun, gazed at the seven members of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

With Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan both here, it saved him the trouble of searching for them.

"Ye Lingling!"

Li Qingxuan called out.

Ye Lingling, who was about to step off the stage, stopped upon hearing Li Qingxuan's shout.

She turned back and saw him instantly appear before her with a single stride.

"So fast."

Before Ye Lingling could react, when she turned back to face him, she realized that the radiant Li Qingxuan was extremely close to her.

"What do you want with me?"

Ye Lingling remained as cool and distant as ever.

"I know your Nine Heart Begonia lineage is passed down through a single person, and there's a curse that prevents more than two from existing at the same time."

"I know a way to resolve it. If you want to know, come find me at the Sky Mending Pavilion."

After whispering a few words into Ye Lingling's ear, Li Qingxuan retracted his martial soul and turned to leave the stage.

He came and went so quickly that by the time Ye Lingling reacted, Li Qingxuan was nowhere in sight.

"Who exactly is this person? And what power is the Sky Mending Pavilion?"

Ye Lingling was puzzled, but she seemed to recall a towering pavilion that had suddenly appeared within the Heaven Dou Empire not long ago.

"Could it be there?"

Regardless, since this person knew so much, perhaps she could try visiting.

Li Qingxuan returned to Ye Guyi and Tang Ya's side.

"It's done. Let's go back and wait for news."

"Young Master, it's done already?"

Ye Guyi was a little surprised. Had the mission to recruit the two families been decided just after one battle?

"As members of the Sky Mending Pavilion, we have our methods, and our business is spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire. Naturally, we just need to wait for them to come to us."

"When Ye Lingling returns to the Ye Family and tells her parents, they will know what kind of force the Sky Mending Pavilion is."

Although the Nine Heart Begonia Ye Family had some fame in the Heaven Dou Empire, it was still a family and couldn't possibly not do business.

"Tang Ya, Guyi, let's go back."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Heaven Dou City, Ye Family

"Mother."

Ye Lingling strode with her straight legs, crossed the threshold, and entered the living room, calling out softly towards the upper floor.

"Lingling, why are you calling Mother in such a hurry?"

A gentle voice came from upstairs, followed by footsteps, or rather, real footsteps.

A woman with a voluptuous figure descended the stairs into the living room.

Her mature appearance, paired with a perfectly fitting work dress, gave her a different aura from Ye Lingling just by standing opposite her.

"Lingling, why did you call me in such a hurry?"

Ye Qingyue was a little confused.

"Today I met someone. He told me he could help us solve the problem of the Nine Heart Begonia clan, and perhaps break the curse that limits us to only two people."

"Lingling, don't blindly believe outsiders. This Nine Heart Begonia curse has been passed down for how many generations since ancient times? It has always been mother and daughter."

Ye Qingyue completely disbelieved the words of the person Ye Lingling mentioned. If it could be solved, this curse would have been solved long ago.

"But Mother, that person said he was from the Sky Mending Pavilion. If we want to solve it, he wants us to go to the Sky Mending Pavilion."

"Sky Mending Pavilion?"

Ye Qingyue thought of the Sky Mending Pavilion, which had been the subject of much discussion recently.

"Buildings suddenly appeared there, along with a mysterious Pavilion Master and two Titled Douluo guarding it. There's no precedent for such a thing on the continent."

Honestly, Ye Qingyue was a little curious.

"Then should we go take a look? Maybe it can be solved?"

"Lingling, you need to understand that such good fortune won't just befall our Ye Family. I suspect the Sky Mending Pavilion has its eyes on something in our Ye Family, otherwise, they wouldn't have told you this."

Ye Qingyue had experienced much more of life's ups and downs than Ye Lingling. For matters like this, there was definitely a price.

She just didn't know what the price was.

The suddenly appearing Sky Mending Pavilion might truly be able to solve the Nine Heart Begonia's problem.

Even if it couldn't, there was no loss in making the trip.

It was a long shot, but worth a look.

"Since that person is so confident, Lingling, you and your mother pack your things and head over immediately. Don't lose your composure. A power like the Sky Mending Pavilion, with two Titled Douluo guarding it, is definitely extraordinary."

"Yes, Mother!"

Afterward, Ye Lingling and Ye Qingyue began to pack.

Once ready, the mother and daughter set off for the Sky Mending Pavilion.

The carriage traveled quickly, and they arrived at the Sky Mending Pavilion in less than half a day.

When the mother and daughter alighted from the carriage, they were stunned by the sight before them.

A pavilion soaring into the clouds, the dense elemental energy of heaven and earth nearby, the mist swirling around the mountain peaks, and cranes flying through the air.

This was a power that seemed entirely out of place on the Douluo Continent.

"You are from the Ye Family, correct? Our Young Pavilion Master has been waiting for some time. Please follow me."

Happy New Year, everyone.
