A Mother and Daughter Urge an Update, an Advanced Soul Master Academy Recruits

Bibi Dong felt that her mind was a little muddled.

She clearly should have hated Qian Renxue, so why was she feeling this way now?

After reading the storybook's contents, she ultimately said nothing.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue was also looking through the Book Review Section.

She had finished reading it, and she was in a terrible mood.

She had waited a full hour. The Book Review Section was indeed lively, yet there was no message from that person at all.

Could it be that she still doesn't care in the slightest?

Qian Renxue clenched her fists, feeling both furious and aggrieved.

The storybook had exposed the vulnerability she had once shown, but it had also stirred her curiosity.

Why did her mother dislike her, even harboring resentment toward her?

What exactly had happened back then?

Too many questions had nearly robbed Qian Renxue of her ability to think calmly.

At last, she saw the update request button below.

She wanted to know what her future fate would be, and even more so, whether reconciliation with her mother was possible.

But just as she was about to press the update request button, she discovered that someone had already requested an update.

"Bibi Dong? She requested an update?"

Qian Renxue was somewhat bewildered.

The name in the update request records left her stunned.

Spider Emperor Douluo—that was her mother's nickname.

And now, her mother had actually requested an update!

Why would she do that?

Hope rose in Qian Renxue's heart, yet she did not dare be certain.

When Ye Mu woke up the next day, he habitually checked the Book Review Section.

Good heavens, the discussion was truly heated.

Qian Renxue's identity had already been exposed.

However, he had not said what Qian Renxue had left Spirit Hall to do, nor did he intend to reveal it in the upcoming story.

After all, he was now a member of Spirit Hall.

There was no reason to expose his own patron.

He had no intention of losing his secure job as a Library administrator.

"Someone actually requested an update? Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong too?"

Noticing the update request notification, Ye Mu could not help scratching his head.

He could understand Qian Renxue requesting an update.

That favored daughter of heaven surely wanted to know what her fate would be.

Once she knew her fate, she could intervene in later events and steer it in a better direction.

So it made sense for her to request an update.

But now even Bibi Dong had requested one?

Ye Mu could not guess what Bibi Dong was thinking.

Although the mother and daughter had basically reconciled by the later stages of the plot, the story had not even officially begun yet.

Could it be because she had learned Yu Xiaogang's true nature and Qian Renxue's experiences, causing a change in her mindset?

Or did she want to know what would become of the daughter she even somewhat hated?

"An update request... I'll deal with it tonight. For now, I should raise my Soul Power."

Muttering to himself, Ye Mu went to the Management Office to continue reading.

His Soul Power was indeed increasing very quickly.

During that time, many Soul Masters came by, and quite a few of them were academy teachers.

Moreover, they were teachers from the Junior Soul Master Academy he attended!

Perhaps because Old Riven had appeared, or perhaps because of Ye Mu's performance at the assembly.

Many teachers had now changed their attitudes toward him.

After all, being able to instantly defeat Su Tianqi meant that his Soul Power was absolutely formidable.

He might even already be a Soul Grandmaster above level twenty.

After all, Su Tianqi was a level twenty-one Soul Grandmaster!

Instantly defeating a Soul Grandmaster with a first soul skill meant he was at least an expert among Soul Grandmasters.

In other words, Ye Mu's true strength was likely level twenty-five or twenty-six, perhaps even higher.

Then there was Old Riven's appearance.

Even the academy head addressed him as teacher, which meant that the Old Librarian's identity was far from simple and that he was a powerful expert as well.

That was why he could suppress Director Su outright.

Taking all the circumstances together, quite a few Junior Soul Master Academy teachers had come over to see what was going on.

There were also teachers from other Soul Master Academies, and even recruitment directors from Advanced Soul Master Academies who had come to join the commotion.

"Ye Mu, have you truly not considered joining our academy? We're an Advanced Soul Master Academy and can provide you with a better cultivation environment!"

A recruitment director from an Advanced Soul Master Academy tried to persuade him.

Spirit City was not small, but information traveled very quickly.

The commotion caused at the assembly had now become known throughout nearly the entire city.

So it was only natural that someone had come early to recruit Ye Mu.

Outstanding talent was welcome wherever it went.

Ye Mu had already displayed sufficiently exceptional talent, so naturally he could attract these Soul Master Academies.

"Director Qiao, I'm sorry, but I haven't made up my mind yet."

Ye Mu spoke with a smile, though he was truly somewhat frustrated.

Half the day had passed, and he still had not been able to read properly.

If this continued, today's Soul Power gains would probably be rather poor.

"Really, think it over some more. Our academy is very sincere."

Director Qiao continued persuading him. Several groups had already come before him.

If he did not put in more effort, someone else would snatch Ye Mu away in no time.

"I'll decide after I've thought it through."

Ye Mu maintained his smile, though he was nearly unable to keep it up.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you all crowding around here for? Got nothing better to do?"

At the critical moment, Old Riven came out, his face stern as he barked a reprimand.

At the sight of him, Director Qiao shrank his neck and hurriedly left.

Word seemed to have spread that the Old Librarian was no ordinary man.

When making a living in a place like Spirit City, one had to be extra cautious.

Provoking a powerful expert with a mysterious identity was absolutely foolish.

"Little Mu, ignore these people. Just focus on cultivating."

Old Riven gave him a brief reminder before leaving.

With Old Riven stepping in, no one came to bother him afterward.

However, Ye Mu soon noticed something unusual.

After some Soul Masters entered the Library, they took a few books to the reading area, but they did not seem to have any interest in reading. Instead, they watched him openly and covertly.

They were probably people from other Soul Master Academies again.

Without thinking too much about it, Ye Mu returned to his residence as soon as the Library closed and immediately opened the Wordless Heavenly Book.

Since someone had requested an update, he had to fulfill it and obtain the reward sooner.

Following the evolution of his martial soul, the martial soul progress he could gain from writing storybooks had decreased considerably.

Or rather, evolving his martial soul again was no longer so easy. He needed to write more stories.

It would likely be difficult to complete an evolution with only three or four stories.

He continued writing the story.

The update request demanded that he directly finish Unrequited Love of the Broken-Winged Angel, so he got to work!

Soul Power flowed out, swiftly writing the subsequent contents.

Ye Mu also felt somewhat emotional about Qian Renxue's experiences.

She had clearly been a perfectly normal person, yet she had encountered Tang San, a transmigrator, and in the end was led to her death.

She had clearly had many chances to kill Tang San, yet she developed feelings for him and let him go time and again.

However, even though Tang San knew Qian Renxue had spared him, he showed not the slightest mercy during the war.

Her final fate was to shatter her divine position in order to save Bibi Dong.

He truly did not understand why someone like Tang San could attract the attention of so many favored daughters of heaven.

Was it really the effect of the Protagonist Halo?

Without the Protagonist Halo, Tang San would likely have died countless times already.
