A Visitor Arrived: Liu Erlong

Yu Yuanzhen kept his word and immediately sent someone to invite Qian Xunji to discuss matters.

With Tang Chen's presence, the Spirit Hall and the Upper Three Sects are currently on the surface amicable, and the two sides often interact.

Yu Yuanzhen thought it wouldn't be difficult to get Yu Xiaogang a job as a librarian at the Spirit Hall.

Sending him to the Spirit Hall, a place far away, can be considered a form of training outside.

Although Gangzi was originally incompetent, whether he gained experience or not wouldn't really make a difference...

After Qian Xunji arrived, he asked directly, "Sect Master Yu, may I ask what brings you here?"

Yu Yuanzhen chuckled softly, "Your His Holiness the Pope, to be honest, I have a son who wishes to study at the Spirit Hall."

"Oh? Is that your eldest son?"

Qian Xunji's eyes lit up immediately.

To be honest, Yu Mingxiao had long been known as the number one genius of the Upper Three Sects, and a rare talent that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only seen once in a thousand years. Even back in the Spirit Hall, he had already heard of his reputation.

Now that he has seen this person in person at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he has to admit that this young man is something else; even he can't see through the other's true strength.

It seemed that he possessed something that concealed his Soul Power Level, which immediately piqued his interest in Yu Mingxiao.

If this genius young man is willing to come to the Spirit Hall to cultivate, Qian Xunji naturally be more than happy. With the number one genius of the Upper Three Sects coming, the prestige of the Spirit Hall will surely be greatly enhanced.

Yu Yuanzhen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood, he is my second son."

"Yu Xiaogang?" Qian Xunji's eyes dimmed instantly, and he thought to himself: He really is my son, no... calling him my son is too kind.

He had long heard rumors about Yu Yuanzhen's two sons; their Talent were completely opposite, like two extremes.

The eldest son, Yu Mingxiao, had an excellent reputation, and everyone outside praised him highly.

As for his second son, Yu Xiaogang, his reputation is terrible; there are derogatory and sarcastic remarks about him everywhere.

It's said that dragons beget dragons, and phoenixes beget phoenixes. Qian Xunji used to firmly believe this, until he heard the rumors about Yu Xiaogang...

I heard from a rumor that all Yu Xiaogang does is fart.

He was even worried that the kid would sleepwalk in the middle of the night and pollute the environment of the Spirit Hall.

Yu Yuanzhen spoke up, "That's right, it's my son Yu Xiaogang. He's been studying some kind of Martial Soul Theory. I wonder if Your Majesty could arrange a librarian job for him?"

"Martial Soul Theory?"

Qian Xunji paused for a moment, then said, "Since Sect Master Yu has spoken, I'll let him work as a librarian on the first floor of the library. It mainly contains ordinary theoretical books; I can't arrange a better position for him."

Yu Yuanzhen bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Pope."

"No need to be so polite," Qian Xunji laugh.

There are two sides to the story.

Yu Mingxiao returned to his residence and was greeted by an unexpected guest.

"Erlong, what brings you here?"

The newcomer was none other than Liu Erlong. Ever since she was brought back to the sect, she had remained in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Her mother, Lady Liu, was taken as a concubine by Yu Luomian because Liu Erlong awakened the Fire Dragon Martial Soul.

Liu Erlong usually spends most of her time cultivating, or going out on training missions with the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

When she came back, she would occasionally drop by his place.

Liu Erlong said softly, "Mingxiao, congratulations on officially coming of age."

Yu Mingxiao chuckled, "You've reached that age in the blink of an eye; time really flies."

"I still remember the first time I met you, you were just a six-year-old little girl."

Liu Erlong said with a smile, "That's right. I still remember when my mother brought me to the sect, we couldn't find my father. It was you who took us in and let us stay at your house for a while."

"How is your mother doing lately?" Yu Mingxiao asked casually.

"Everything is fine," Liu Erlong said. "Mingxiao, I feel like my skills haven't improved in a long time. Could you practice with me and give me some pointers?"

Yu Mingxiao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "No problem. At your age of fifteen, Soul Power of only thirty-six is indeed rather low."

Liu Erlong gave him a quiet glare, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

The two stood facing each other in the open space outside the courtyard.

Yu Mingxiao slightly raised his hand and chuckled, "Make your move."

"Fire Dragon Possession!"

Liu Erlong gave a soft shout and immediately activated her Martial Soul Possession. Seeing that Yu Mingxiao was standing still, she immediately activated her first Soul Skill to amplify herself. A glint flashed in her eyes, and her right arm was quickly covered with crimson dragon scales, which burst into flames.

She swiftly closed in, her flaming dragon claws lunging at Yu Mingxiao as she shouted, "Second Soul Skill, Fire Dragon Claw!"

"Bang!"

Yu Mingxiao raised his hand and met her dragon claw with a palm strike. A muffled sound rang out, and a force rebounded, instantly sending Liu Erlong staggering backward.

"Again," Yu Mingxiao gestured, speaking calmly.

"Third Soul Skill, Fire Dragon Breath!" Liu Erlong shouted, her third Soul Ring shone brightly, and she spewed out a ball of flame, rushing straight towards Yu Mingxiao.

Yu Mingxiao casually flicked his wrist, easily extinguishing the flames she spewed. Taking advantage of Liu Erlong's momentary daze, he instantly rushed in front of her and struck out with a palm, sending her flying.

He didn't use much force in that palm strike. Liu Erlong propped himself up and went forward to fight again.

Although it was called a fight, Liu Erlong was really just getting beaten up.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Mingxiao once again sent her flying with a palm strike, then casually unleashed a Holy Light that instantly healed her injuries.

He smiled faintly and said, "That's enough for today, we'll play again another day."

Liu Erlong quickly asked, "Then which day is 'another day'?"

"Let's see how things go," Yu Mingxiao, not giving her a definite answer.

"Oh." Liu Erlong's tone was full of disappointment as she whispered, "Then I'll be going now, goodbye."

"Goodbye." Yu Mingxiao smiled as he watched her leave.

With his current strength, even if he suppresses his power, he won't be able to serve as a sparring partner much.

Liu Erlong came specifically to spar with him, so how could he not see through her intentions? He might not say he was in love with her, but he probably admired her.

Although he hasn't spent much time at the sect in recent years, he still enjoys considerable prestige.

Given her childhood memories, it's perfectly normal for Liu Erlong to develop feelings for him, considering her own mindset.

However, Liu Erlong's love-struck mind was a bit too strong; her admiration for him made Yu Mingxiao somewhat afraid.

After all, she was the woman who ultimately ended up with Yu Xiaogang.

Orthopedics is definitely not an option.

Yu Mingxiao dared not get too close to her; maintaining the proper distance between them as cousins was the best approach.

There are plenty of beautiful women in the world. Although Liu Erlong is good-looking, even disregarding their kinship, she is still underage. He would never do such a thing.
