[Ye Xiao: I've already absorbed the Soul Bone. The Spirit Ability is pretty good and quite useful. It can also help me quickly gain control over the Five Elements Attribute.] [Ye Qianxue: That's great! I've already prepared the Immortal Herbs here. If Father has nothing to do during this time, he can go take a look around. Maybe he'll run into Mother.] [Ye Xiao: By the way, why is Qian Renxue pretending to be the Crown Prince in the Heaven Dou Empire?]
What Ye Xiao really wanted to know was why his counterpart from another world had managed to win over Qian Renxue.
He clearly only had Innate Level Three Soul Power.
And he had not even had the help of a Golden Finger. Wasn't that difficulty far too high?
Could a human being really pull that off?
[Ye Qianxue: Uh... the circumstances behind that are rather complicated. It's hard to explain.] [Ye Xiao: Forget it if you can't say. I actually wanted to know why Qian Renxue would take a liking to me. As the direct daughter of Spirit Hall's Qian Family, Qian Renxue's status is noble, far beyond that of a Soul Master like me with Innate Level Three Soul Power.] [Ye Qianxue: Hehe... I'm very clear on that part. But I can't guarantee it's completely accurate, since it happened a long time ago. Father and Mother never explained it clearly, and even the family history books didn't record it in much detail. The other Mothers don't know much either.] [Ye Qianxue: It started when Father went to Sunset Forest to obtain his Second Spirit Ring.] [Ye Qianxue: Father was very lucky. While obtaining a Spirit Ring, he accidentally wandered to the outskirts of the Mysterious Ice Fire Eyes, where Grandpa Dugu Bo's poisonous mist was. While Father was chasing a Spirit Beast, it was killed by the poison mist, so Father stopped.] [Ye Qianxue: It just so happened that Grandpa Dugu Bo was inside the Mysterious Ice Fire Eyes at the time and saved you. Fortunately, Father was still a child then, or he would have been dead for sure.] [Ye Qianxue: Grandpa Dugu Bo had a rather strange personality, but he was decent to children. Later, Father entered the Mysterious Ice Fire Eyes.] [Ye Qianxue: There were many Immortal Herbs within the Mysterious Ice Fire Eyes, including plenty with Five Elements Attributes. Our Stone Jade Seal Martial Soul also had a rather special ability—it was extremely sensitive to the Five Elements Attribute.] [Ye Qianxue: Later, for some unknown reason, Father became very close with Grandpa Dugu Bo. He gradually absorbed Five Elements Attribute energy at the Mysterious Ice Fire Eyes and evolved his Martial Soul. That was when his path as a genius truly began.] [Ye Xiao: So when my Martial Soul evolved back then, I didn't take any Immortal Herbs?] [Ye Qianxue: That's right. Father didn't even recognize those Immortal Herbs, so how could he have taken them? It was only later that Grandpa Yue Guan identified and categorized them.] [Ye Xiao: What happened after that?]
Ye Xiao had not expected his counterpart from another world to be so lucky.
He had actually been able to become friends with Dugu Bo.
[Ye Qianxue: After Father's Martial Soul evolved, Dugu Bo recommended that he enroll at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where he met Mother Yanyan and Mother Ling Ling. The Mysterious Ice Fire Eyes was an excellent place for Father to cultivate, and his cultivation speed soared afterward. By the time he participated in the Soul Master Tournament, although his Soul Power was not as high as Mother Yanyan's, it was close.] [Ye Qianxue: Heaven Dou Royal Academy was under Prince Xue Xing's control, but Mother had always wanted to take control of the academy to make it easier to seize power later. She would visit the academy from time to time. Father was still a little dull back then—or so Mother said.] [Ye Qianxue: Father was also one of the academy's more outstanding students. Mother found your slightly dull manner rather interesting. It was like feelings growing over time; affection slowly developed.] [Ye Xiao: That's it?]
Ye Xiao was dumbfounded. Was Qian Renxue really that kind of person?
[Ye Qianxue: Of course not. At most, that gave Mother a little favorable impression of you. The part where she came to like you happened later.] [Ye Xiao: What happened?] [Ye Qianxue: I don't know.] [Ye Xiao: ???] [Ye Qianxue: I really don't know. Father and Mother never said anything, and no one else knew either. According to hearsay, Father filled a void in Mother's heart. As for what kind of void it was, I don't know. But Mother Bibi Dong seemed to know. Every time it was mentioned, she became a little sad.]
The moment Ye Xiao heard that final sentence, he understood.
Could his counterpart in that other world have become Qian Renxue's father and mother?
Hadn't Qian Renxue lacked paternal and maternal love since childhood?
If he approached her from that angle, he might actually have a chance.
Girls with something missing in their hearts from childhood were easier to win over, but they were also more dangerous.
One wrong move, and they could become obsessive and unstable.
Impressive, Ye Xiao!
But that had been the other world's Ye Xiao's method.
Now that Ye Xiao had a system, his future achievements would certainly be greater. He did not need to pursue Qian Renxue that way; he could use another method directly.
A genius had a genius's way of pursuing someone.
Besides, he was now part of Spirit Hall. It was only natural for him to pledge allegiance directly to Qian Renxue, wasn't it?
As for Bibi Dong, she was far away at Spirit Hall. He could deal with that later.
Make distant alliances and attack nearby enemies!
Blazing Fire City, Blazing Fire Academy.
"You mean my daughter met some little brother in Star Dou Great Forest, and she might even like him?" Huo Wudi looked at Uncle Xiao with a baffled expression.
Uncle Xiao nodded helplessly. "That should be it. When she left, Huo Wu kept looking back every few steps, as if she wanted nothing more than to stay there."
"Damn it! My daughter never missed me like that when I went out! That damned brat." Huo Wudi was furious.
"No wonder Huo Wu wanted me to transfer her to Heaven Dou Royal Academy when she came back. I was stunned at the time. We have our own academy, and it isn't weak either, yet she wanted to go to another academy. I really..." Huo Wudi nearly called Huo Wu a traitor.
But Huo Wu was still his favorite daughter, and he could not bring himself to say it.
"What is that Little Fellow like?" Huo Wudi asked.
Huo Wu was equally stubborn, just as he had been when he was young.
Precisely because of that, he knew he could not confront her head-on. He needed to take a curve to save the nation!
"Hmm... from what I could tell, he seemed quite decent. His talent also looked excellent. He had only awakened his Martial Soul not long ago, yet he was already a Soul Master. His Martial Soul should be quite powerful too, or he couldn't have helped Huo Wu obtain her Second Spirit Ring."
"Innate Full Soul Power?" Huo Wudi immediately asked.
"I don't know. But it should be close." Uncle Xiao believed that if he did not have Innate Full Soul Power, then he must have had Innate Level Nine Soul Power. Otherwise, how could he already be a Soul Master?
Moreover, Huo Wu had not told him anything important. He could be said to know absolutely nothing about Ye Xiao.
