Ye Lingling's Fate

Ye Tianming never expected that Long Chen would awaken the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul with an Evil attribute, and moreover, with Innate Level 10 Full Soul Power.

Long Chen was also shocked to learn that he possessed Level 10 Full Soul Power immediately after awakening his martial soul. He silently recited in his heart:

"It seems that I, a Reborn One, have some luck after all. I finally have a chance to avenge my Father."

His Father in this world was an ordinary person who only raised him for one year, but he remembered everything his Father had done for him.

He had always hoped to awaken a powerful martial soul, as that would be his only chance to avenge his Father.

Now, this wish had finally come true.

Ye Lingling clapped her little hands, excitedly saying:

"Long Chen Bro is so amazing, he actually has Innate Full Soul Power."

Ye Tianming patted Ye Lingling's head, his gaze falling on Long Chen.

"Xiao Chen, there are very few people in this world who possess Innate Full Soul Power; they are all geniuses. Now you are one of them. Those with the Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul are control-type soul masters. They can use the sound of the demonic lute to control and attack opponents. However..."

"Uncle Ye, what is it?"

"Nothing, we'll talk about it later."

"Okay. Then let's awaken Lingling's martial soul first."

Ye Tianming nodded.

Afterward, Ye Lingling repeated the actions Long Chen had just gone through to awaken her martial soul.

When specks of light condensed into a pink begonia flower in Ye Lingling's hand, a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in Ye Tianming's eyes.

He knew that at that very moment, Ye Lingling's Grandmother's life had reached its end.

The innocent Ye Lingling was completely unaware of this.

Looking at the begonia flower composed of white and pink petals, she was filled with joy.

"Long Chen Bro, I awakened the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, just like my Mother."

"Mm. Congratulations, you can become a powerful Healer."

After composing himself, Ye Tianming smiled and said:

"Lingling, let's test your soul power."

"Okay."

Father and daughter simultaneously placed their right hands on the blue Crystal Ball.

Ye Tianming's face showed a hint of joy.

"Level eight soul power, one level higher than when your mother awakened her martial soul."

"Lingling, you're amazing too."

Long Chen gave Ye Lingling a thumbs up in praise.

Ye Lingling was very happy. She looked at Ye Tianming and asked, "Dad, can I go to the Soul Master Academy with Long Chen Bro?"

"Hmm, don't rush. Let's talk about it after your mother gets back."

"Okay."

Ye Lingling's face was full of smiles, seemingly looking forward to the upcoming academy journey.

Long Chen knew that Ye Lingling would enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy soon.

As for whether he could get in himself, it was still uncertain.

Because he sensed that Ye Tianming seemed to have some unspeakable difficulty, which seemed to be related to his Dark Night Demonic Lute Martial Soul.

Before sleeping that night, Long Chen curiously released his martial soul.

The black light emitted from the Dark Night Demonic Lute seemed to possess a magical power. A series of information quietly flowed into his mind, as if telling him how to control the demonic lute.

"Try controlling the Lute Sound with your mind."

Long Chen's gaze locked onto the water cup on the table. He gently plucked the Lute Strings.

Bang!

A trace of soul power was released from the demonic lute, like an invisible blade, directly shattering the water cup.

"It seems a bit powerful. I wonder what kind of soul skills I'll get in the future."

Long Chen was a little excited, full of anticipation for his First Soul Ring.

The next day, Ye Susu returned to the Ye Manor with some bad news: Ye Lingling's grandmother had passed away.

After learning the cause of her grandmother's death, Ye Lingling was heartbroken. She locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink.

Ye Susu came to find Long Chen and told him about the fate of the Nine Heart Begonia clan.

"Xiao Chen, Lingling can't accept the fact of her grandmother's passing for a while, but this is the destiny of our Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master clan. She listens to you the most. Go and persuade her."

"Okay. Auntie, don't worry. I'll go and see her."

Long Chen arrived outside Ye Lingling's room and knocked on the door.

"Lingling, it's me. Open the door."

With a creak, Ye Lingling opened the door.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and both were swollen from crying.

Seeing this, Long Chen felt a pang of heartache and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Lingling, I know everything. What's happened cannot be changed. Don't be sad anymore. Grandmother surely wouldn't want to see you like this."

"Wuwu~~"

Ye Lingling started crying sadly again.

"Long Chen Bro, it's my fault for not wanting to be a Nine Heart Begonia soul master that caused Grandmother's death. I don't want to go to the academy either."

"Lingling, this is not your fault. Don't blame yourself."

"Wuwu~"

"Alright, stop crying. No matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side and protect you."

Ye Lingling leaned on Long Chen's shoulder and cried for a long time until she gradually calmed down from exhaustion.

"Lingling, you haven't eaten anything all day. Shall I get you something to eat?"

"Mhm."

Long Chen brought some food and watched Ye Lingling finish eating.

"Lingling, be good and go to the Royal Academy. Uncle Ye has already made arrangements."

"What about you?"

"I might go with you. However, I need to get my First Soul Ring first."

Long Chen knew that immortal herbs could speed up a soul master's cultivation, and some Top-grade Immortal Herbs could even promote the evolution of Martial Souls.

The Aromatic Silk Beauty in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a Top-grade Immortal Herb that could help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia was also a support-type Tool Martial Soul. If she could consume that Aromatic Silk Beauty, perhaps her Martial Soul would evolve.

Entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which Dugu Bo occupied, would not be an easy task.

However, he could start with his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

According to the timeline, Ye Lingling would become Dugu Yan's teammate.

Ye Lingling had to go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for Long Chen to have a chance to implement his plan.

No matter what, he couldn't let those immortal herbs fall into Tang San's hands.

By this time, it was already dark.

After coaxing Ye Lingling, Long Chen left her room and went to find Ye Tianming and his wife.

"Uncle, Auntie, Lingling is already asleep."

"Xiao Chen, you've worked hard, coaxing her all day."

"Auntie, you're too kind. By the way, I've always wanted to ask you a question, can't the fate of you Nine Heart Begonia spirit masters be changed?"

Ye Susu sighed.

"There is a way, but it's too difficult. Legend has it that after our spirit power breaks through to Level Ninety, the Nine Heart Begonia spirit will evolve into the Sacred Hearts Begonia, and then it will no longer be restricted by the spirit, completely breaking free from the shackles of fate."

"Level Ninety?"

"Yes. Healing-type spirit's growth space is relatively limited, making it difficult to reach high levels. Coupled with the Single Transmission and the time constraints for Passing on the Family Line, breaking through to that unattainable Level Ninety is simply a fantasy. As far as I know, the highest spirit power ancestor of our clan only reached Level Seventy-Nine."
