A Daughter Grown Up Won't Stay Home

Beside him, Ye Lingling covered her small mouth in shock, her blue eyes filled with disbelief.

Level 25?!

Her younger brother was even younger than she was, yet his Soul Power had already surpassed hers by so much.

A six-year-old Soul Grandmaster—this... this was simply unheard of!

He was probably unprecedented and would never be surpassed!

"Your Spirit Medicine... was its effect really that terrifying?" Ye Lingling could not help murmuring.

"Uh... I don't know either. I don't recognize it."

Ye Liuli noticed Ye Xiao's hesitation.

She smiled understandingly and did not press the matter. Instead, she reached out and gently pinched Ye Xiao's soft, smooth cheek with her fingertips.

It felt excellent—better even than her own daughter's hands.

Her daughter had grown up and no longer liked her doing such things. Now that a little brother had arrived, it was rather interesting.

Ye Liuli withdrew her hand and elegantly picked up her teacup again. "Since your surname is Ye, I suppose it is fate. You may stay temporarily with the Ye Family and help out.

"However, the Ye Family does not keep idlers, nor can we let you eat and live here for free. I will have someone arrange what you will do and how much you can earn. As for your wish to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy..."

She paused. "In some time, Heaven Dou Royal Academy will indeed hold a special admissions assessment. If you are truly interested and strong enough, the Ye Family can recommend you to give it a try.

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you work properly for the Ye Family and that... your background is clean."

She said those last four words lightly, but Ye Xiao understood their weight.

Ye Liuli had agreed to let him stay partly because she admired his talent and felt a trace of kindness toward him. On the other hand, she would certainly investigate his origins and background in secret to ensure that he would not bring trouble to the Ye Family.

However, Ye Xiao was not worried. His background was very clean.

He was a child from a remote Small Village.

As for joining Spirit Hall, that was nothing.

Seventy or eighty percent of the Soul Masters on this continent had joined Spirit Hall. What did his case amount to?

It was not as if every Soul Master who joined Spirit Hall was forbidden from going elsewhere.

"Thank you, Aunt! Thank you, Sister Ling Ling!" Ye Xiao bowed respectively to Ye Liuli and Ye Lingling.

"Go on. Have Ling Ling take you to get settled first and familiarize yourself with the place." Ye Liuli waved her hand, signaling that they could leave.

Ye Lingling nodded, took Ye Xiao's hand again, and led him out of the living room.

Watching the two children leave, Ye Liuli took a light sip of tea, her eyes flickering with a complicated light.

A child with such exceptional talent and luck had come to the Ye Family.

Whether it would bring fortune or disaster remained to be seen.

No matter what, it was better to keep him where she could see him.

[Ye Qianxue: It seems Mother Liuli is going to investigate you.]

[Ye Xiao: That is certain. With my Soul Power, not to mention Aunt Ye—even the Pope would fall silent upon seeing it.]

[Ye Wanqing: Don't worry. Both Great Grandmothers are kind at heart, so nothing will happen. Just prepare to attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy. You can learn some Soul Master knowledge while also growing closer to your Great Grandmothers.]

[Ye Xiao: I understand.]

Ye Liuli and Ye Lingling's favorability toward him was already above the passing line. There was still a long way to go before they could join the Chat Group, so he would take it slowly.

His starting point was already beyond the reach of other Soul Masters.

As long as he kept a low profile, becoming a Titled Douluo was within sight!

Over the next few days,

Ye Xiao stayed at Ye Mansion.

Most of the time, he cultivated or played with Ye Lingling.

When Ye Lingling went out to treat people, Ye Xiao would follow her as well.

It had to be said that after his First Spirit Ring became a Thousand Year Spirit Ring, Ye Xiao's healing ability was still very powerful.

And after obtaining the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, Ye Xiao's control over the Five Elements Attribute had improved tremendously.

He could already achieve what his daughter had described—using the Five Elements Attribute without releasing a Spirit Ability.

All that could be said was that a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was truly incredible.

However, if he wanted to undergo further Martial Soul Evolution, he would have to wait until next year, when the Chat Group's Red Packet chances refreshed.

That way, he would not expose his two Thousand Year Spirit Rings.

But exposure was only a matter of time.

No matter what, Ye Xiao would use that unknown Spirit Medicine as an excuse.

He knew nothing.

Besides, Spirit Hall stood behind him, so danger was unlikely.

Once he became stronger, he would not need any excuses at all.

On the first day, protect Douluo Star.

On the second day, protect my Douluo Star.

On the third day, I don't eat beef!

"Mother, how did it go?" Ye Lingling clenched her hands, looking at Ye Liuli nervously.

Ye Liuli was holding an investigation report about Ye Xiao.

Ye Liuli glanced at her and teased with a smile, "What? It has only been a few days, and you already don't want him to leave? A daughter grown up won't stay home."

"Mother!" Ye Lingling's face reddened so deeply that it seemed blood would drip from it.

Seeing that her daughter could now be shy, Ye Liuli sighed inwardly. It seemed letting Ye Xiao stay with the Ye Family was a good thing. Perhaps her daughter could become as lively as she had been when she was little.

After Ye Lingling's Martial Soul awakened, she had become unwilling to speak, which pained Ye Liuli greatly.

She knew that Nine Heart Begonia's Curse had fallen upon the next generation of the Ye Family again.

But there was nothing she could do.

"Alright, alright."

"How should I put it? There is no problem with Ye Xiao. He came from a Small Village in the Heaven Dou Empire, then joined Spirit Hall, and finally came to Heaven Dou City with people from Blazing Fire Academy."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling let out a breath of relief.

"That's good."

Neither Ye Lingling nor Ye Liuli cared about Spirit Hall.

After all, both of them were nominally affiliated with Spirit Hall as well.

"Now you can rest assured, right? From now on, cultivate properly with Ye Xiao. When the time comes, Ye Xiao will go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

How could Heaven Dou Royal Academy possibly refuse a genius like Ye Xiao?

Although Heaven Dou Royal Academy had quite a few aristocrats who merely coasted along, it had to be acknowledged that it was the strongest Soul Master Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. There were still quite a few geniuses there.

It was simply far inferior to Spirit Academy.

She just did not know why this Little Fellow did not go to Spirit Academy.

Of course, that was someone else's private matter, and Ye Liuli would not ask.

Today marked Ye Xiao's third month since entering the Ye Family.

"Younger Brother, tomorrow is Heaven Dou Royal Academy's admissions day. I'll take you there," Ye Lingling said.

"Alright." Ye Xiao's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy's admissions process was truly absurd.

You needed a letter of recommendation.

Without one, you could not even enter through the gates.

Ye Xiao was rather speechless. What kind of Douluo version of America was this?

As expected of a royal academy.

If you tossed a brick into the crowd, at the very least, the person it hit would come from a wealthy family.

But that had nothing to do with Ye Xiao. He was, more or less, half a privileged person now.
