Go See Someone

In the afternoon, Ying Chengfeng and Qian Renxue arrived at the home of Yu Feiyan.

Yu Feiyan's parents sold fruit, and their living conditions in Nuoding City could only be considered half-way to being well-off.

However, sending a child to the Soul Master Academy was a bit difficult.

One had to know that every village only had a single quota for a work-study student.

If one was not a work-study student, it would almost require the entire village to donate money to afford the Soul Master Academy.

Nuoding City was still considered decent; the land here was fertile, and the living conditions for commoners were good.

In barren regions, it truly took the strength of an entire village to support one person's schooling.

Clearly, Yu Feiyan's Ghost Fire martial soul was not enough to make her parents spend a large sum of money.

At this moment, Yu Feiyan's parents were both present.

Ying Chengfeng stated his intentions directly.

"You want to take our child away?" Yu Feiyan's mother frowned as she looked at Ying Chengfeng.

"I am confident that I can make her a soul master." Ying Chengfeng did not overpromise.

In truth, he intended to cultivate Yu Feiyan into a Title Douluo.

His goal was to shatter the skepticism, prove that his own philosophy was correct, and also prove that Yu Xiaogang was nothing but trash!

He wanted to make Bibi Dong realize that Yu Xiaogang was trash!

At present, he did not have much certainty.

After all, Yu Feiyan's Innate Soul Power was only level 2; her cultivation speed was too slow.

To defy the heavens and change her fate, she first had to reach level 10 to be qualified to obtain her first soul ring.

Of course, Yu Feiyan would definitely be able to reach level 10, but it would just take a longer time.

Ying Chengfeng could not afford to wait.

He planned to sneak back to Martial Soul Hall and ask his grandfather, Azure Luan Elder, to help him obtain immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Ying Chengfeng was not a pedantic person.

Why not use a cheat if you have one?

Besides, no one would know he was using a cheat.

He only needed to prove it to Bibi Dong; the process was unimportant.

At this moment, Yu Feiyan's parents were still somewhat hesitant.

They did not quite believe Ying Chengfeng's words.

Ying Chengfeng could understand this.

Who would easily believe the words of a young child?

But the next moment, Ying Chengfeng displayed his power directly!

Two purple soul rings emerged from beneath his feet.

"Now, do you still have any doubts?"

Yu Feiyan's parents widened their eyes in shock.

They had seen soul masters before, usually with white or yellow soul rings.

This was their first time seeing purple.

Yu Feiyan's father knelt down immediately and said, "Lord Soul Master, can you really help our child become a soul master?"

"I can." Ying Chengfeng replied with only two words, then added, "Please rise; I will not harm your daughter."

Ying Chengfeng used the polite form of "you," out of respect for a father who loved his daughter.

Even though they had not agreed to let Yu Feiyan attend school, Ying Chengfeng understood.

Yu Feiyan's father stood up tremblingly and looked at Yu Feiyan, asking, "Do you really want to go with this Lord Soul Master?"

Yu Feiyan kept her head lowered, and only after a few seconds did she lift it, saying earnestly, "Yes."

Her father nodded and immediately whispered to his wife beside him, "Go and get the family's money for the Lord Soul Master."

It was strange; they were clearly unwilling to pay for Yu Feiyan to attend school, yet they were willing to give the money to Ying Chengfeng.

Perhaps it was to seek peace of mind.

The existence of parents is sometimes truly difficult to understand.

Ying Chengfeng also thought of his own mother in this world.

He looked down at the ring on the thumb of his left hand, which was inlaid with a piece of jade; it was a five-cubic-meter Soul Tool.

His mother had given it to him.

It had been a long time since he had seen his mother.

He had left in such a hurry back then that he hadn't dared to go and see her.

Ying Chengfeng sometimes felt that he owed too many people.

He took the box of coins handed over by Yu Feiyan's mother, containing over a dozen Gold Soul Coin and nearly a hundred silver soul coins.

Ying Chengfeng glanced at Yu Feiyan's parents and said, "We are leaving now."

"Right... right." Yu Feiyan's father nodded suddenly, looking somewhat dazed, muttering, "Go, go."

Ying Chengfeng sighed inwardly and said to Yu Feiyan, "Go ahead and say your goodbyes; we will wait for you outside."

Ying Chengfeng did not have to wait long; two minutes later, Yu Feiyan walked out.

It was not that Yu Feiyan was in a hurry to leave, but rather that her parents had urged her to.

Yu Feiyan's eyes were red-rimmed, especially after being hurried by her parents.

The reason her parents urged her was simply so as not to keep Lord Soul Master Ying Chengfeng waiting too long.

Yu Feiyan looked at Ying Chengfeng and asked with a slight tremor in her voice, "We will come back, right?"

Her eyes were filled with expectation, pleading, as well as confusion and hesitation.

"Yes," Ying Chengfeng replied with a single, earnest word.

He lifted the iron box in his hand and said, "I will keep this for you. When you return, you can give it back to your parents yourself."

"Now, let's go."

The group of three began to head toward the east.

This time, to avoid any unexpected trouble, Ying Chengfeng chose to let Yu Xiaogang off the hook.

If there was another chance in the future, he would definitely make up for it with interest.

Outside Nuoding City.

A carriage headed toward the east.

Ying Chengfeng, Qian Renxue, and Yu Feiyan sat inside the carriage.

Watching Nuoding City gradually disappear over the horizon, it was a long time before Yu Feiyan withdrew her gaze.

Only then did she finally ask the question she had wanted to ask most: "Why help me become a Soul Master?"

She could not understand it; people like Ying Chengfeng and Qian Renxue should belong to the legendary nobility.

She did not understand why these two would appear in such a small place.

She had far too many questions.

Ying Chengfeng looked at her and smiled, saying, "Don't you think it's a bit late to ask this question now?"

Yu Feiyan shook her head and said, "It is not too late."

She remembered that day when Ying Chengfeng descended from the sky.

His first sentence was: Play with us, you are not allowed to refuse, or I will be very angry.

At the time, she had seen a kind of obsession and a touch of overbearingness in Ying Chengfeng's eyes.

She felt like a Cinderella, forcibly taken away to be a maid by a noble, elegant, and unreasonable young master.

Back then, she had not had the courage to refuse.

However, at this moment, she began to wonder what would have happened if she had refused.

Yu Feiyan looked up and asked, "What do I need to do to become a Soul Master?"

In truth, Yu Feiyan had long been mentally prepared to face anything.

"First, act as my younger sister. Before I help you become a Soul Master, I will take you to meet someone," Ying Chengfeng said.

"Okay," Yu Feiyan replied simply.

She seemed to have grown accustomed to this brief way of speaking.

Qian Renxue, sitting beside her, took her hand and said, "Don't be nervous; he never does anything he isn't sure about."

"Mm," Yu Feiyan nodded heavily at Qian Renxue.

The carriage moved slowly, taking nearly half a month to reach Martial Soul City.

Returning here, Ying Chengfeng suddenly felt a sense of trepidation, like a traveler nearing home.

He settled Qian Renxue in an inn before taking Yu Feiyan away.

His mother, Ji Qingyi, was a Red-Clad Bishop of Martial Soul Hall and a level 79 Soul Saint.

Generally, one needed to be at the Soul Douluo level to serve as a Red-Clad Bishop.

However, because Ji Qingyi was the biological daughter of the Azure Luan Elder, she held the position of Red-Clad Bishop as an exception.

She lived in the core residential area of Martial Soul City, where most of the high-ranking members of Martial Soul Hall resided.

That was also the place where Ying Chengfeng had once lived.
