Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, Spirit Hall's Stance

Lin Qing's gaze first swept over the fiery red-haired youth, whose temperament seemed somewhat impulsive.

Hmm, his aura was explosive. He should have dual fire-and-earth attributes.

His personality looked like that of a firecracker that would explode at the slightest spark.

His image gradually overlapped with a name from Lin Qing's memories—Yan.

Next, his gaze shifted to the youth with Silver-Gray Short Hair, a cold expression, and exceptionally calm eyes.

His bearing was cool and aloof, his body standing straight as a spear, carrying an air of sharpness.

This appearance... Xie Yue.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the most Eye-catching one of them all, the Golden-Haired Fox-Eared Girl.

The girl seemed more sensitive than her companions.

Under his gaze, those Fluffy Fox Ears twitched uneasily, and her tail subconsciously curled up as well.

A faint, almost imperceptible blush of nervousness spread across her face.

She felt that his gaze was not sharp, yet it was extraordinarily penetrating, as though he could see through her Martial Soul, cultivation, and even... something deeper.

The feeling of being completely seen through made her deeply uncomfortable.

Yet an inexplicable, strange feeling arose in her heart.

Hu Liena.

Lin Qing understood immediately.

So it was them.

Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

He had not expected to encounter them here in this manner, while they were still only fourteen or fifteen and somewhat immature.

What a coincidence.

"..."

Hu Liena felt uncomfortable beneath his gaze and lowered her eyes slightly, her long lashes trembling.

However, Lin Qing did not look at her for long. After only a few seconds, he withdrew his gaze.

He spoke casually.

"A title? I don't have one of those yet."

"As for a generous reward, there's no need. I only saved you on a whim. It has nothing to do with whether you're from Spirit Hall."

After saying that.

He could not even be bothered to wait for the people below to react.

With a thought.

Buzzz!

The Golden Light Shield brightened slightly.

In an instant, it became a streamlined streak of golden light and shot through the air with a whoosh.

It was so fast that it left only a faint golden trail in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it vanished beyond the horizon.

He had arrived suddenly and departed with effortless flair.

The Spirit Hall group on the ground could only stare at one another, unable to recover for a long while.

They watched that conspicuous mass of golden light climb higher and higher, growing faster and faster.

In the end, it became a tiny golden speck that was nearly impossible to discern at the horizon.

It completely disappeared where the azure sky met the vast green sea of forest.

Only after it was entirely out of sight.

"He... he said he... didn't have a title?"

Tall and Thin Teacher Li blinked and looked at his companion in disbelief.

"Could he have only recently become a Titled Douluo and not yet had time to receive a title?"

Teacher Wang was also full of doubt as he stroked his nonexistent beard.

"But those methods just now, that power wielded so effortlessly—there's no way they were something someone newly entering the Titled Douluo realm could use."

A Titled Douluo without a title?

It sounded contradictory.

Yet the words spoken by that expert did not seem false.

Could he really be some reclusive expert who had devoted himself to bitter cultivation?

Countless guesses flashed through the minds of the two Soul Douluo teachers, but none could be confirmed.

Lin Qing's departure made Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and the other youths unconsciously let out sighs of relief.

When facing an expert whose strength was unfathomable.

Even if the other party bore no ill intent.

That invisible pressure was enough to leave these "geniuses" suffocated and restrained.

"Teachers..."

Hu Liena spoke softly, her voice gentle and pleasant.

She looked up toward the patch of sky that was already empty.

Curiosity glimmered in her Amber eyes.

"Have you ever heard of this Your Excellency before? He looked so young, and his strength was terrifying."

She paused.

Her Fair cheeks flushed slightly as she added in a quiet voice, "The three Cute little girls beside him were adorable too..."

For some reason.

That Mysterious expert's calm, casual manner, his deep and tranquil eyes, and the unintentional tenderness he showed while protecting his daughters had all left an especially distinct impression in her heart.

He was more distinctive than any lofty expert she had ever met.

Teacher Wang and Teacher Chen exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly.

"Never heard of him."

Teacher Wang said with certainty.

"A Titled Douluo who looks so young and possesses such terrifying strength could never have remained unknown in the Soul Master World if he had existed for long."

"He is most likely a reclusive master who has never revealed himself."

Unlike other Titled Douluo.

Lin Qing's lifespan had been granted by the system, directly restoring his youth, so he looked exceptionally young.

"Regardless, we must report today's events to Her Holiness the Pope in detail once we return."

Teacher Li's expression turned solemn.

"An Unfamiliar Titled Douluo expert has appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, and he has brought three Young daughters with him... This information is extremely important."

"Alright, this is no place to linger."

Teacher Wang clapped his hands, drawing the students' attention back.

"Pack up quickly. We are leaving the forest at once and returning to Spirit City. Move!"

Under their teachers' urging, everyone suppressed the shock and curiosity in their hearts.

They quickly composed themselves and rushed toward the edge of the forest.

Yet the image of that golden figure and the three Cute little girls remained deeply imprinted in every one of their minds.

High in the sky.

Inside the Golden Light Shield flying at high speed.

Lin Qing stroked his chin, finding the coincidence rather amusing as well.

"I didn't expect the people I saved on a whim to be the future Golden Generation. Yan, Xie Yue, Hu Liena... Tsk, fate really is impossible to predict."

Still, he did not dwell on it.

To him, it truly was only a minor episode during the journey.

Like casually steadying a Passerby A who was about to fall while walking down the road.

Whether it was Spirit Hall or the Golden Generation, neither had anything to do with him at this stage.

His foremost task was to bring his daughters home safely.

Then... he would make plans to "bring back" his Future Wife, Xiao Wu.

As for his attitude toward Spirit Hall.

He currently bore no grudge against Spirit Hall, nor had things reached the point where he would kill geniuses on sight.

Besides, apart from Bibi Dong, that madwoman, he thought Spirit Hall was generally quite decent.

Especially in this era, ordinary commoner Soul Masters relied on Spirit Hall if they wanted to cultivate.

As a Soul Master who had risen from among commoners, he had once been a beneficiary as well.

"Dad, the clothes those brothers and sisters below were wearing were so pretty."

Wu'er leaned against the Light shield, recalling the scene she had just seen.

"Those were Spirit Hall Academy uniforms, of course they looked nice."

Lin Qing explained offhandedly.

"But no matter how nice they are, they can't compare to Wu'er in her little floral dress."

"Really?"

Wu'er immediately giggled happily and forgot her earlier question.

Qing Zhu quietly leaned against Lin Qing's side, while Rou Rou played with a leaf of unknown origin, its veins clearly visible.

As Lin Qing looked at his three daughters, his heart was filled with peace.

The storms and upheavals outside, the struggles between powers, were all still far away from them.

Right now, he only wanted to be a happy stay-at-home dad, find his wife while he was at it, and live a peaceful life.

Of course, that depended on being strong enough that no one would dare provoke him.
