My Ye Clan Might Be Able to Seize This Opportunity and Replace the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
As the spokespersons of the Peerless Douluo and the Angel God in the mortal world, he knew better than anyone what Bo Saixi's appearance represented.
Although the two of them were, to a great extent, the same kind of people.
There was one major difference between them.
He faced no restrictions and could go wherever he wished.
But Bo Saixi was different.
Under normal circumstances, she could not leave Sea God Island.
Sea God Island needed her to oversee it, protect the Sea God's inheritance, and fend off the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's harassment.
In other words, Bo Saixi had only been able to leave Sea God Island because she had received the Sea God's instruction.
And the reason the Sea God had instructed her to leave had to be of utmost importance.
The Heart of the Sea God.
That divine artifact the Sea God had left behind in the mortal world had to be the key to the Sea God's inheritance.
The fact that the Sea God had sent Bo Saixi out personally to search for the Heart of the Sea God showed that it played a crucial role in the Sea God's inheritance.
It might even be connected to the birth of a new generation's Sea God.
And that child named Li Changqing...
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes, a complicated glint flashing through them.
If he had guessed correctly, that child should have been the inheritor chosen by the Sea God.
Bo Saixi had brought him along to search for the Heart of the Sea God so that he could obtain the complete Sea God inheritance and become the next Sea God.
At that thought, Qian Daoliu's figure flashed, and he vanished from the spot.
Heaven Dou City, Ye Mansion.
This was an ancient and elegant residence located in the bustling western district of Heaven Dou City.
Two imposing stone lions stood on either side of the vermilion gates.
A plaque hung above the entrance, bearing two gilded words—Ye Mansion.
Though it could not compare to a great powerhouse like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Ye Clan was still a renowned aristocratic family within Heaven Dou City.
Deep within the residence, in an elegant Water Pavilion, a young married woman in a pink gown stood quietly.
She appeared to be just over thirty. Tall and curvaceous, her pink dress outlined her mature, voluptuous figure.
Her features were exquisite and beautiful, her brows and eyes picturesque. She possessed a dignified, graceful bearing, and every gesture carried the unique charm and allure of a mature woman.
Standing there, she resembled a blooming peony—regal and luxurious, impossible to look away from.
She was Ye Wanqing, the current head of the Ye Clan and Ye Lingling's mother.
At that moment, she stood beside the Water Pavilion's railing, watching the koi swim through the pond as though waiting for something.
Her expression appeared calm, but deep in her beautiful eyes lay excitement and anticipation that she could barely contain.
Before long, light footsteps sounded from behind her.
Ye Lingling entered from outside.
She wore a black gown, her face cool and detached, her aura frosty. Her entire person was like an ice lotus standing alone beyond the world.
She walked behind Ye Wanqing, stopped, and asked softly, "Mother, why did you ask me to come back?"
Ye Wanqing turned around. Looking at her daughter's cool face, she smiled slightly and asked, "Lingling, did a new classmate join your team?"
Ye Lingling was slightly taken aback, confusion flashing through her eyes.
She had not expected her mother to ask that.
Her mother normally did not pay much attention to her life at the academy, so why was she suddenly concerned about this now?
"Mother, how did you know? Do you know him?" Ye Lingling asked.
She could understand Xue Qinghe knowing. After all, Xue Qinghe was the crown prince and the future emperor.
If an unparalleled genius had appeared within his own sphere of influence, it would indeed have been inappropriate for him not to come see him personally and show his regard.
But how had her mother learned about it?
Surely Xue Qinghe had not announced Li Changqing's information to everyone?
That was impossible!
Xue Qinghe was the crown prince, after all. He should not have done anything that foolish.
Ye Wanqing shook her head and said, "I don't know him. But I do know that the fate of our Ye Clan is about to change."
As she said this, uncontrollable excitement and exhilaration appeared on Ye Wanqing's still-charming face.
Her eyes gleamed as though she had seen some wonderful future.
Ye Lingling became even more confused. Frowning, she asked, "Mother, what are you talking about? What fate is going to change? Why can't I understand?"
Ye Wanqing did not explain directly. Instead, she walked over to her daughter, gently stroked her hair, and said softly, "It's fine if you don't understand. Go back now and bring him here. Whether our Ye Clan can change its fate depends on him."
Ye Lingling froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long while.
What did she mean by saying the Ye Clan's fate was connected to that child, Li Changqing?
Was that right?
Was that reasonable?
She had only known Li Changqing for a few days.
Although she knew that child was exceptionally talented and had a mysterious background.
How had her mother learned of his existence?
And why would she say the Ye Clan's fate was connected to him?
Ye Lingling was full of doubts, but she did not refuse or ask further questions.
She understood her mother and knew that Ye Wanqing was not someone who spoke without reason.
Since she had said so, she had to have her reasons.
"I understand, Mother." Ye Lingling nodded, then turned and left the Water Pavilion, heading back toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Watching her daughter's retreating figure, Ye Wanqing let out a soft breath. Suppressing the turbulent emotions in her heart, she murmured, "Soon. Very soon. My Ye Clan might be able to seize this opportunity to drive the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda from its position as the continent's strongest support-type martial soul, then replace it."
Ambition gleamed in her eyes—the excitement of someone who had suppressed herself for far too long and had finally glimpsed hope.
For generations, the Ye Clan had inherited a special martial soul: the Nine Heart Begonia.
The Nine Heart Begonia was an extremely powerful support-type martial soul.
It possessed only one ability—group healing.
Yet it was precisely this single ability that made the Nine Heart Begonia one of the continent's finest healing-type martial souls.
In any team, a Nine Heart Begonia soul master was indispensable.
However, the Nine Heart Begonia also had a fatal flaw.
It could only heal and could not provide any other form of support.
In comparison, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could not only heal, but also provide enhancements to speed, strength, Soul Power, and many other aspects.
Thus, in the rankings of support-type martial souls, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had always remained a step above the Nine Heart Begonia, firmly holding the throne as the continent's strongest support-type martial soul.
The Ye Clan's ancestors throughout the generations had all devoted themselves to surpassing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, yet they had never succeeded.
But today, Ye Wanqing saw hope in that child named Li Changqing.
She did not know where that child had come from, but she knew that his appearance would change everything...
