Chapter 93 Under the Veil
The early morning sunlight squeezed in through the gaps in the window lattice, casting a slender golden line on the ground.
Gu Linyuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed.
The moon-white robe was hung loosely on her shoulders, and her breathing was steady and long.
Soul Power flows slowly in the meridians, like a river quietly waking up in the morning.
He opened his eyes and let out a breath.
The breath is like a white arrow, condensing in the air without dissipating, floating two feet away before slowly dissipating.
He moved his neck, and his bones made a crisp crackling sound. He stood up and was about to wash up when there was a knock on the door.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
Gu Linyuan tied up his robe, walked over and opened the door.
"You are?"
Gu Linyuan looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.
It is Ye Lingling.
She wore a light blue long dress with the skirt hanging down to her ankles, and a silver ribbon tied around her waist, which made her waist slim and soft.
Her long hair was spread over her shoulders, with the ends slightly curled, glowing with a healthy luster in the morning light.
This was the first time he saw the entire face of Ye Lingling.
Her facial features are as delicate as being drawn one by one, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her nose is straight, her lips are plump and full, and their lip color is light pink, like peach blossoms that have just bloomed in spring.
There was no veil on her face, and her gray-blue eyes looked at Gu Linyuan with a faint smile.
Gu Linyuan was stunned for a moment.
He had imagined what the face looked like under the veil, but when he actually saw it, it was still more beautiful than he imagined.
"Ye Lingling?"
There was a hint of surprise in his voice.
Ye Lingling tilted his head and blinked his gray-blue eyes, "Why, don't you recognize me?"
Gu Linyuan leaned against the door frame and looked her up and down.
"I think you see more when you wear a veil."
Ye Lingling smiled, not too big, but the corners of his eyes were slightly curved, like two crescents.
"So you've been paying attention to me for a long time?"
"Every time I go to your college to look for Yanyan and the others, I see you. It would be strange if I didn't pay attention."
"That's true."
Ye Lingling put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and looked up at him.
"So I won't wear it today so you can see enough."
Gu Linyuan looked at her gray-blue eyes, and then at the slight smile on the corner of her mouth, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"Is something wrong?"
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"
"Okay. But if you come to me at this time, there must be something wrong."
Ye Lingling smiled.
"Okay, my mother wants to see you for something."
Gu Linyuan's brows raised slightly.
"Your mother?"
"Well. She happened to come to Heaven Dou City to do something. She heard that I knew you and wanted to meet you." Ye Lingling paused, "She said she wanted to see what the person who said he could help us Ye Clan was like."
Gu Linyuan's brows furrowed for a moment, then relaxed again after a moment.
"Let's go."
Heaven Dou City, Moon-Gazing Pavilion.
Moon-Gazing Pavilion is one of Heaven Dou City's most elegant restaurants. The three-story wooden building is built near the water. When you open the window, you can see the Heaven Dou River water waves sparkling in the sun.
There was a woman sitting in the private room next to the window on the second floor.
She looked to be in her early thirties and was wearing a dark green long dress. The dress was embroidered with dark silver vine patterns that snaked from the neckline to the skirt.
She has a good figure, with a slender and flexible waist, and the curves of her chest appear full and subtle wrapped in dark green fabric.
Her appearance is very similar to Ye Lingling, but she has a more mature charm than her, and her eyebrows and eyes have a calmness accumulated over the years.
Her hair was pulled up high, revealing a section of her snow-white neck. Around her neck was a string of fine pearl necklaces, each one round and plump.
She was drinking tea, and the celadon cup in her hand glowed warmly in the sun.
When she heard footsteps coming from the door, she raised her head and her eyes fell on Gu Linyuan. The pair of gray-blue eyes that were exactly the same as Ye Lingling narrowed slightly, as if she was looking at something she had never seen before.
Ye Lingling opened the door and walked in, quickly walked to the woman and sat down.
"Mom, someone brought it."
Gu Linyuan walked into the private room and sat down across the table. He was neither formal nor deliberately relaxed. His posture was as natural as if he were in his own living room.
Ye Tianxin put down the teacup and looked at Gu Linyuan for a long time.
"Are you Gu Linyuan?"
"Yes."
"Lingling told me about you. She said you were very powerful."
Gu Linyuan glanced at Ye Lingling. Ye Lingling was drinking tea with his head lowered, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.
"She was honored."
Ye Tianxin smiled, and there was a bit of scrutiny from an elder looking at a younger person in that smile.
"Lingling This kid has never liked to interact with others since he was a child. He has been wearing the veil for more than ten years and refuses to take it off no matter who tries to persuade him. You do have the ability."
Gu Linyuan smiled.
Ye Tianxin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, his eyes never leaving Gu Linyuan's face.
"Lingling said you could cure her Martial Soul."
Gu Linyuan nodded.
"Nine Hearts Begonia is defective, I can help her fix it."
"What's the price?"
Gu Linyuan shook his head.
"There is no price."
Ye Tianxin was silent for a moment.
"Do you think I, Ye Tianxin, am as easy to deceive as Lingling?"
Ye Tianxin's brows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised an arc.
She picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Gu Linyuan. Her wrist was very steady, and the tea liquid flowed out of the spout and turned twice in the cup without spilling a drop.
She pushed the teacup in front of Gu Linyuan. Gu Linyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Ye Tianxin narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
An invisible breath surged out of her body and pressed towards Gu Linyuan.
That is the soul pressure belonging to the high-level Soul Master. Although it is not at the level of Titled Douluo, it is enough to put pressure on most opponents of the Soul Ancestor level.
Gu Linyuan put down the tea cup, raised his head and looked at her, his breath was not disturbed, and he didn't even frown.
Ye Tianxin added another force. Gu Linyuan still didn't move.
A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Tianxin's eyes. She increased her power again and had already used 80% of the power.
Gu Linyuan was still sitting there, like a rock, motionless despite the beating of the tide. His eyes fell on her, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
Ye Tianxin took his breath away, leaned back on the chair, and took a deep look at Gu Linyuan.
She has lived for most of her life and has seen many young people, proud, arrogant, humble, reserved, and so on.
But no young man has ever been able to sit before her and remain motionless in the face of her temptations.
That is not a question of cultivation, but a question of mentality and confidence.
The thing standing behind this young man was heavier than she imagined.
Ye Lingling raised his head and looked at her, "Mom, how are you doing?"
Ye Tianxin looked at her, smiled and shook his head.
"I wasn't testing him, it was him testing me."
She picked up the teacup and raised it towards Gu Linyuan: "The younger generation is to be feared."
Gu Linyuan also picked up the teacup and touched it with her.
"Senior, you're welcome."
The river outside the window flows quietly, and the sunlight breaks into golden spots on the water.
"I know Lingling likes you. I also know that you made that promise in order to make Lingling happy."
"You are very capable, and I recognize you. But Ye Clan's Martial Soul problem is not something you can solve."
