Brothers on the Surface

Tang Hao's breakthrough to Soul Saint at the age of thirty has already earned him the reputation of being a once-in-a-century genius for the Clear Sky Sect.

Who would have thought that this young man, who looked no more than twenty years old, was actually so young?

Although she can't compare to the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she is still one of the top geniuses in the Soul Master World.

Not to mention the Haozi Brothers, even Ah Yin was shocked, as she was already twenty years old in human form.

It is because of the Innate Full Soul Power of transformed Soul Beast that they have achieved their current level 54 Soul King cultivation.

Unexpectedly, there was such a genius in human society. Compared with Ye Fan, none of the Soul Master she had ever seen before could compare to Ye Fan.

"Brother Ye, you've already broken through to the Soul Saint realm at such a young age?"

Perhaps it was because Ye Qinghe had shown mercy to the Mighty Demon Bear when he saved the child, or perhaps it was a woman's natural inclination to admire strength, but Ah Yin already had a good impression of Ye Qinghe. After learning that Ye Qinghe was older than her when she took human form, she naturally started calling him "Big Brother".

"Hehe, just lucky." Ye Qinghe smiled slightly, his tone very calm.

Ah Yin smiled and shook her head. "No, no, this isn't just a matter of luck. I've been traveling in the human... I've seen quite a few Soul Master in the Soul Master World for a while now, but very few others at Brother Ye's age have broken through to the Soul Ancestor level, and I've never seen a Soul King. None of them can compare to Brother Ye."

"That's hard to say. I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall is only a year older than me, but she was promoted to a title two years ago. Compared to her, I'm nothing." Ye Qinghe put on a very humble appearance.

But the more he acted this way, the more Ah Yin liked him. "That's still impressive, considering the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden has the Spirit Hall behind her, while Brother Ye is just one person."

The two men kept talking, which made Tang Hao Tang Xiao, the two Haozi brothers, increasingly anxious and frustrated.

An inexplicable anger welled up within him.

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Ye Qinghe's mind:

[Tang Hao's resentment +8888888]

[Tang Hao's favorability -100, current favorability -100. Congratulations, host, you have been granted ten chances to draw a prize.]

[Ding, villain Tang Xiao detected. Do you wish to bind?]

"No wonder Tang Hao didn't give me any more chances to win the lottery; it turns out his favorability rating had already been reset to zero once." Ye Qinghe clicked his tongue inwardly and silently chanted, "Tie."

[Tie successfully.]

[Tang Xiao's favorability -30, current favorability -30. Congratulations, host, you have gained three chances to draw a prize.]

[Tang Xiao's resentment +88888]

Seeing that this fresh-faced, fairy-like girl, Ah Yin, was so interested in this pretty Xiao Bai named Ye Fan, and that their words even carried a hint of intimacy, Tang Hao's jealousy was instantly ignited.

"Hmph! He's just relying on the advantage of having Twin Martial Souls. Besides, the most important thing for Soul Master isn't Soul Power, but actual combat. If you can't fight, no matter how high your Soul Power is, you're just a pretty face."

Tang Hao snorted coldly, his tone suddenly turning sinister, whether he was referring to Bibi Dong or Ye Qinghe was unclear.

Ah Yin sensed the hidden meaning in Tang Hao's words, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She thought to herself with displeasure, "How can this human be so rude?"

Compared to Tang Hao, Tang Xiao was much more composed. He noticed Ah Yin's dissatisfaction but didn't speak rashly. He simply watched quietly how Ye Qinghe would respond.

Facing Tang Hao's sarcastic remarks, Ye Qinghe seemed oblivious to the irony, displaying extraordinary magnanimity. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Tang Hao's Tang Hao make sense. Soul Power is certainly important, but practical combat is also indispensable; otherwise, one is destined not to go far in the Soul Master World."

His magnanimous behavior, compared to Tang Hao's, immediately made Tang Hao seem like a petty and narrow-minded clown.

This made him feel like he had punched cotton.

I felt extremely depressed.

At this moment, if Ah Yin hadn't been there, he would have already swung the Clear Sky Hammer and smashed it down.

Knowing Tang Hao's temperament, Tang Xiao was afraid that Tang Hao would harm Ye Qinghe, leaving the two of them with an impression of being arrogant and unreasonable in front of Ah Yin. He immediately changed the subject, saying, "Alright, the child's parents must be anxious. Let's send him back to the village first, and then we can have a good chat. What do you think, Brother Ye and Miss Ah Yin?"

As he spoke, he didn't forget to transmit his voice to Tang Hao, saying, "Brother Hao, I know you don't like this guy named Ye Fan. To be honest, I don't either. But in front of Miss Ah Yin, we still need to maintain our composure. Besides, this kid's talent is indeed quite good. I plan to find a suitable opportunity to bring him into the sect. Then you'll be the Young Sect Master, and he'll be an outsider disciple. You can teach him a lesson however you want."

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated, "That's a good idea, but will this kid agree?"

"If he agrees, I don't mind arranging a marriage between him and a direct disciple of the sect who hasn't inherited the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, allowing him to establish his own sect and become the fifth largest affiliated sect of my Clear Sky Sect. If he doesn't agree, I will secretly contact several sect elders, and then whether he agrees or not will be out of his hands." A ruthless glint flashed deep in Tang Xiao's eyes.

Ye Qinghe's Spiritual Power was so powerful that he heard the conversation between the two brothers, Haozi and his brother, clearly, and a cold smile immediately rose in his heart.

If you want me to be a dog for the Clear Sky Sect, then I'll make you two eunuchs first.

"Tie it up." Ye Qinghe murmured to himself, raising an eyebrow in surprise. He wasn't surprised by Tang Xiao, but hadn't Tang Hao already tied it up?

However, Ah Yin was unsure. She nodded and looked at Ye Qinghe, saying, "Brother Ye, what do you think?"

"Meeting is fate. Since that's the case, then I'll respectfully accept your offer."

Ye Qinghe readily agreed.

Soon, the group left the Soul Beast Forest and returned to the village where Tang Hao Tang Xiao had camped earlier.

Amidst the villagers' profuse thanks, Ye Qinghe and Ah Yin declined their offers of gratitude and went to the place where the Haozi Brothers had previously camped.

The four sat around the campfire.

Tang Xiao took out a large jar of wine and several wine cups, filling them for Ye Qinghe and Ah Yin. Tang Hao, on the other hand, simply took out a new jar of fine wine and, in what he considered a generous manner, downed most of it in one gulp.

Ye Qinghe and Ah Yin were having a light drink, which made Tang Xiao much more refined than usual.

Throughout the entire time, Tang Hao's gaze never left Ah Yin. Tang Xiao was slightly more reserved, but he also spent most of the time looking at Ah Yin.

Ah Yin then looked at Ye Qinghe.

Ye Qinghe did not fawn over Ah Yin, and instead appeared gentle to all three of them.

During this time, Tang Xiao casually inquired about the origins of Ye Qinghe and Ah Yin.

Ye Qinghe simply said that he came from a small village and that he had become Soul Master by chance because he awakened his Martial Soul at the Spirit Hall.

Ah Yin is a transformed Soul Beast, so naturally she couldn't reveal her true identity; she was just imitating others.
