Shui Yue'er Asks for Help

Tang San waved his hand toward the work-study students in the dormitory.

The work-study students of Seven Dorm followed Tang San's instruction and left the room one after another.

Seeing them depart, leaving only him and Xiao Wu in the entire dormitory, Tang San approached Xiao Wu's side, his tone filled with concern:

"Xiao Wu, can you tell me now?"

Xiao Wu raised her head again, the previous work-study students having long since been ushered away by Tang San.

"Brother, could you go outside and check for me..." Xiao Wu's tone was very faint, not daring to speak loudly.

Although Tang San could not understand why Xiao Wu wanted him to do such a thing, he still agreed.

"Xiao Wu, is there a specific range?"

Xiao Wu bit her lip tightly and nodded gently:

"Just the perimeter of our academy."

Tang San helped Xiao Wu up, settled her comfortably on the bed, and said, "Alright, Xiao Wu, you rest on the bed for a while first; I'll go check the situation right now."

Watching Tang San's departing back, Xiao Wu felt a complex mix of emotions in her heart.

Ye Qingzhou, Ye Shuyuan, and Dugu Bo spent several days traveling from Holy Soul Village back to Tiandou City in the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, just as they arrived at the Ye Family Clinic, they noticed a figure standing at the entrance.

It was a young girl wearing the uniform of Skywater Academy, the light blue dress outlining her slender frame, with a head of water-blue hair draped over her shoulders.

Her features were delicate, her skin fair, and her anxious, restless eyes scanned the surroundings of the Ye Family Clinic.

Dugu Bo guessed the girl's identity at a glance:

"She's a student from Skywater Academy, isn't she?"

Yet, he still muttered to himself, wondering why a student from Skywater Academy would be at their clinic, and it appeared she had been waiting for quite some time.

Ye Shuyuan looked the girl over; he had seen her before when he was treating teachers at Skywater Academy.

He recalled her name was something like Shui Yue'er, and she had an older sister named Shui Bing'er.

He just didn't know why she wasn't studying at the academy instead of running over here.

Watching the girl pacing back and forth in front of the clinic, Ye Qingzhou walked up to her: "Miss, sorry to keep you waiting. What business brings you to our Ye Family Clinic?"

His words were very gentle, carrying a soothing quality that eased Shui Yue'er's anxious emotions.

Hearing Ye Qingzhou's voice, Shui Yue'er looked toward the source, and the first things to enter her vision were the two Title Douluo, Dugu Bo and Ye Shuyuan.

Finally, her gaze suddenly locked onto Ye Qingzhou.

Ye Qingzhou's face completely captivated her.

That small face was as fair as jade, his features exquisite, and between his brows lay both the innocence of a child and a calm temperament completely at odds with his age.

"So... so cute, and there's a sense of security hidden within that cuteness." Her lips trembled slightly, and stars seemed to shine in her eyes.

Shui Yue'er had seen countless handsome men, and she would bet that this child's face would definitely be at the level of a great heartthrob in the future.

Not only that, but a faint scent of orchids radiated from Ye Qingzhou, a fragrance that left her somewhat unable to stop herself.

Watching the love-struck Shui Yue'er, Ye Qingzhou was left somewhat speechless: "Uh..."

Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo couldn't help but let out a laugh to tease him: "Hahahaha, little monster, I couldn't tell, you have quite the charm."

"Old Ye, it looks like your Ye family won't be lacking for descendants."

Ye Shuyuan didn't say anything, looking at Shui Yue'er and Ye Qingzhou with gratification.

This was fine, too.

Their Ye family had never had the chance to expand due to the nature of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, but now Ye Qingzhou had arrived.

With Twin Martial Souls and innate full soul power, he had been chosen by the God King, and the flaws of their martial soul would sooner or later be resolved by Ye Qingzhou.

Being able to make the family prosperous and flourishing was not a bad thing at all.

The instinct to swoon had surfaced upon seeing Ye Qingzhou's unfair face, but a few seconds later, Shui Yue'er shook her head violently and bit her tongue hard.

No, no, she hadn't come here to look at a little boy; she was here for a major matter.

The pain allowed her to break free from her infatuated state, and she took a deep breath; when she looked at Ye Qingzhou again, her eyes had regained their clarity.

A sense of urgency once again filled her eyes.

Watching Shui Yue'er's successive changes, Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but feel concerned for her mental state.

Was she really alright?

He asked again, introducing himself and the identities of his grandfather and Dugu Bo:

"Miss, let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Qingzhou, and the two behind me are my grandfather, Ye Shuyuan, and the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. What matter do you have for us?"

Hearing the name Ye Shuyuan from Ye Qingzhou's lips, Shui Yue'er completely ignored the extra presence of Dugu Bo and walked straight to Ye Shuyuan.

She bit her lip and asked: "Excuse me, are you really Ye Shuyuan, Grandpa Ye?"

Ye Shuyuan nodded and admitted, "I am indeed Ye Shuyuan."

Hearing Ye Shuyuan confirm his identity with her own ears, Shui Yue'er realized she had finally found the person she was looking for, and she impatiently confirmed once more:

"Was it you who instructed a soul master possessing the Evil Fire Phoenix, named Ma Hongjun, to seek out an ice-attribute soul master to cultivate with and resolve his evil fire?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Shuyuan raised an eyebrow: "That is indeed the case."

Three years had passed since Flender and Ma Hongjun had come to see him, and in those three years, he had never seen either of them again.

If not for this young girl bringing it up, he likely would have forgotten about it entirely.

Shui Yue'er bit her lip tightly, every word she uttered trembling slightly, the anxiety and unease in her eyes tinged with a hint of resentment.

However, constrained by the fact that the man before her was a Titled Douluo, she dared not fully display this agitation.

Seeing that Shui Yue'er had something to say but was holding back, Ye Shuyuan spoke up: "If you have something to say, just say it, little girl."

"Huu." Shui Yue'er took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart and trying her best not to let her emotions erupt or lose her composure in front of a Titled Douluo.

"Do you have any idea how much trouble your decision has caused for our Skywater Academy and for my sister?"

Every sentence she spoke was filled with accusation.

Hearing this, Ye Qingzhou vaguely guessed why Shui Yue'er had come here, and Ye Shuyuan felt the same.

Only Dugu Bo remained bewildered, having no idea what they were talking about.

Shui Yue'er recounted everything that had happened in Skywater City and at Skywater Academy to the three people present.

From the beginning, when Flender and Ma Hongjun came to their Skywater Academy to negotiate, to their subsequent rejection, and finally to them bringing in reinforcements to cause trouble—everyone involved, aside from the two Shrek students, was at least a Soul Saint-level powerhouse.

As she spoke further, Shui Yue'er's eyes gradually reddened, and tears began to roll down from her eye sockets.
