Adoption

This was a Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop token. Although Qiangu Xiaoye served in the Angel Legion, obtaining this token had not been difficult thanks to his relationship with Qian Xunji.

Upon seeing the bishop's token, the guard tactfully stepped aside.

"Your Excellency, would you like this old man to inform the Dean?"

"No need. We'll look around first. Just continue guarding this place."

Tuoba Yue'er did not choose to approach the Dean here directly.

Instead, she let Ling Feng wander around first, planning to discuss matters with the Dean after he had picked someone he liked.

Ling Feng took Qian Renxue and Jin Chen on a rough tour of the orphanage.

When they reached a courtyard, several young women without Soul Power were playing with three children.

Two boys and one girl, all exceptionally eye-catching.

Though the girl was only two years old, she was adorably delicate, with a head of short brown hair.

The little boy on her left resembled her by eighty percent, but despite his young age, he gave off a cold, unapproachable air.

The boy on her right had a full head of red hair and was quite sturdy.

Ling Feng did not need to think to know they were the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall from the original story: Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan.

Ling Feng stopped walking and watched them.

Following his gaze, Tuoba Yue'er also looked toward the three children in the distance.

"What is it, son? Do you want to choose those three?"

"Mm. I can sense that they far surpass ordinary people. Roughly speaking, their Innate Soul Power should be at least Rank 8."

Ling Feng said.

"Innate Soul Power above Rank 8? They're absolute geniuses. If they're properly nurtured in the future, while they may not become Titled Douluo, becoming high-level Soul Douluo is practically guaranteed."

"Have you decided on those three?"

Surprise flashed through Tuoba Yue'er's eyes. Innate Rank 8 Soul Power made someone an unparalleled genius anywhere.

Even within Spirit Hall, someone like that would receive preferential resources and be carefully trained into high-level combat power for Spirit Hall.

Even Tuoba Yue'er herself had possessed only Innate Rank 8 Soul Power when she awakened her martial soul.

And her martial soul was the exceptionally high-quality White Armored Earth Dragon. This showed that the martial souls of these three children were certainly not poor.

Tuoba Yue'er carefully examined the three children running nimbly about in the distance.

Though they were barely over two years old, their steps were steady and their physical condition was excellent, even comparable to that of ordinary six-year-old children.

With such physical qualities at this age, their martial soul quality and Innate Soul Power certainly could not be bad.

"Those three, then. If they're properly nurtured, they'll become the sharpest sword under my command."

Ling Feng smiled faintly. The first step in his plan to save Qian Xunji and bring Bibi Dong to justice was to first take in Bibi Dong's original disciples.

"Alright. I'll go find their Dean. You three should go play with them. Remember to be friendly."

Tuoba Yue'er turned her head and sensed the situation throughout the orphanage. The strongest Soul Power belonged to a Rank 72 Soul Sage.

The other party had noticed her as well, though Tuoba Yue'er had deliberately exposed herself. Otherwise, with her strength, finding the person's location without alerting them would not have been difficult.

After Tuoba Yue'er left, Qian Renxue and Jin Chen finally spoke up.

"Xiao Feng, what are you looking for those three for?"

"Brother Feng, are you looking at that little girl? Do you want a wife?"

Ling Feng's vision went dark, and he had no choice but to explain.

"Take a good look at them. They stand out like cranes among chickens. Haven't you noticed anything different?"

Qian Renxue and Jin Chen looked carefully. With their eyesight, they truly could see that the three were unusual.

"There is something, though I can't quite put it into words."

"That's right. Their Innate Soul Power and martial souls must be excellent. Why shouldn't we nurture people like them from a young age? After all, with our talent, we'll definitely have many followers in the future."

"And we'll need people to handle matters for us. Rather than letting ill-intentioned people come later, it's better to personally select them from childhood. At least they'll be more reliable than those who attach themselves to you halfway through."

The three had been taught the mindset of those in power since childhood, so after Ling Feng's reminder, the two quickly understood the deeper meaning.

"I told you Brother Feng was a genius. How hadn't I thought of that?"

"Grandfather has many powerful people serving under him. In that case, I want to find a few little brats too and train them to follow me from childhood."

Jin Chen made up his mind to have Golden Crocodile Douluo bring him here to choose a few people with good Innate Soul Power and martial souls as his attendants the next time he went home.

Naturally, he was not worried whether they would be willing. As the only grandson of Golden Crocodile Douluo, let alone these little brats, even Soul Sages and Soul Douluo would be eager to become his little followers.

"Mm, Xiao Chen, it's enough that you have this mindset. Remember, we're the strongest."

Qian Renxue curled her lips. She was not good at dealing with people, and aside from her childhood companions Ling Feng and Jin Chen, she had almost no friends at all.

"Alright, let's go play with them first."

Ling Feng was the first to walk over to the three little ones, Hu Liena and the others.

However, as soon as they arrived, the three servants without Soul Power moved toward them.

The three women had been ordered to care for the children's daily lives. Their identities were certainly not ordinary, so the servants had to be extremely cautious. Otherwise, they might lose their lives.

"You children can go play somewhere else."

"From the looks of it, you're much older than Nana. Nana is rather afraid of strangers. If you want to play here, we can take Nana somewhere else."

The three servants were fairly reasonable.

After all, the treatment here was far, far better than outside. More importantly, the children raised in this orphanage would more or less possess Soul Power in the future and become soul masters.

They could not afford to offend any of them.

Just as Ling Feng was about to explain, Tuoba Yue'er had already arrived with an elderly woman.

"You may leave first. This old woman is here."

"Dean, yes!"

Seeing the Dean arrive in person, the servants tactfully withdrew.

"Nana, Xie Yue, Yan, come here."

"This senior is a Soul Sage. You may call her Auntie."

The elderly woman said.

"Hello, Auntie."

"Greetings, Auntie."

During their earlier discussion, the elderly woman had already learned Tuoba Yue'er's true identity and why she had come here.

"Nana and Xie Yue are twins. Their father was a Cardinal of Spirit Hall and a Soul Sage, while their mother was also a high-level Soul Emperor."

"However, they accidentally perished during a campaign against Evil Soul Masters."

"Yan is also the only child left behind by a Soul Emperor. That Soul Emperor's martial soul was the rather impressive Flame Man."

"Judging from Yan's hair color, he will likely inherit that martial soul as well."

The elderly woman explained.

"Grandma, what does this Auntie want with us?"

Hu Liena asked timidly.

"This Auntie wants to take the three of you home. From now on, you won't have to live in the orphanage. You'll have a real home of your own."
