Goodbye Ye Lingling

The Feng Clan.

The council hall.

Feng Yan sat in the main seat.

Below in the hall sat a refined, scholarly middle-aged man.

Feng Yan was chatting with him very happily at the moment.

This man was none other than the clan head of the Nine Heart Begonia clan.

Ye Changqing.

Beside Ye Changqing sat a blue-haired young girl.

The girl wore a pale-green dress.

Her pale-blue hair fell over her shoulders.

Her features were delicate and beautiful.

Though she was not very old, looking only eleven or twelve, she was definitely a rare beauty in the making. In the future, there was a good chance she would grow into a peerless beauty capable of toppling hearts.

This person was none other than Ye Lingling.

"Hahaha."

Feng Yan laughed heartily.

"Brother Ye, I've finally waited until you came."

"Have you thought over my proposal from last time?"

Ye Changqing nodded.

"Clan Head Feng, I've thought over your proposal from last time."

"Divine Wind Academy is about to begin its term now."

"Lingling has also reached the age where she should enroll in an advanced soul master academy."

"So I came to visit in advance, and also brought Lingling along to familiarize herself with the place ahead of time."

Feng Yan continued, "Divine Wind Academy naturally welcomes her."

"The Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is the strongest healing-type support Martial Soul on the entire continent."

"If Lingling can join the academy, it would be the academy's honor as well."

Just as the two of them were still talking, a figure walked in.

"Father."

"You were looking for me?"

Feng Xiaoyuan's voice rang out.

Feng Yan introduced him to Feng Xiaoyuan.

"This is your Uncle Ye, the clan head of the Nine Heart Begonia clan."

Feng Xiaoyuan bowed slightly to Ye Changqing.

"Greetings, Uncle Ye."

Ye Changqing helped Feng Xiaoyuan up.

He patted Feng Xiaoyuan on the shoulder.

Then he said to Feng Yan, "Your son is truly handsome and dashing, with an extraordinary bearing."

Feng Yan laughed.

"Haha, you flatter him, you flatter him."

Feng Yan then continued with the introductions.

"This is your Uncle Ye's daughter, Ye Lingling. You met once during the last soul hunt."

"Xiaoyuan, take Lingling to the backyard for a walk."

"Your Uncle Ye and I still have matters to discuss."

"All right."

Afterward, Feng Xiaoyuan took Ye Lingling out of the council hall.

The Feng Clan's backyard.

The two of them walked along the stone-paved path.

Ye Lingling lowered her head and looked at the tips of her shoes.

In the end, Feng Xiaoyuan broke the silence.

"We meet again."

Ye Lingling gave a soft mm.

"Mm."

Feng Xiaoyuan continued.

"Last time, everyone was busy with the spirit hunt."

"It seems we barely got to talk."

Ye Lingling picked up the thread.

"That's true."

After that, Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Then let's get to know each other again."

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled.

"Sure."

Ye Lingling instantly grew serious.

"Ye Lingling."

"Martial Soul: Nine Heart Begonia."

"Rank twenty-three Support System Spirit Master."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded.

"Feng Xiaoyuan."

"Martial Soul: Grey Wolf."

"Rank seventeen Spirit Master."

Ye Lingling fell silent after hearing that.

She was eleven this year.

Since childhood, she had been hailed as a rarely seen genius of the Nine Heart Begonia clan.

Even so, she was only rank twenty-three now.

And Feng Xiaoyuan?

Seven years old. He was only seven.

Yet he was already rank seventeen.

That cultivation speed was simply a little terrifying.

Comparing people could kill you; comparing goods made you want to throw yours away.

"Your cultivation speed..."

"Is way too absurd."

Ye Lingling could not help saying it.

Feng Xiaoyuan chuckled.

"It's all right, I guess."

Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at him.

If that kind of cultivation speed was only all right, then what did that make everyone else?

Trash?

Then, she suddenly thought of something else.

"Right, what type of Spirit Master are you?"

Feng Xiaoyuan smiled mysteriously.

"My Martial Soul is very mysterious. It doesn't belong to any of the known systems on the continent."

Seeing Feng Xiaoyuan speak in such a mysterious manner, Ye Lingling was instantly overflowing with curiosity.

"It doesn't belong to any known system on the continent? Then what is it?"

Feng Xiaoyuan said with a perfectly serious face, "A Wisdom-type Spirit Master."

Ye Lingling froze after hearing that.

Clearly, it was her first time hearing that term.

"The Wisdom System?"

"Is there such a system on the continent?"

The next second.

A gray figure jumped out.

His hands were on his hips.

His face was full of smug pride.

"There wasn't before."

"But there is now."

Grey Wolf walked over with his chest puffed out.

Even his tail was practically sticking up into the sky.

"The Power Attack System relies on strength."

"The Agility Attack System relies on speed."

"The Support System relies on teammates."

"And the Wisdom System relies on wisdom."

After saying that, Grey Wolf pointed a claw at his own head.

"This king is the founder of the Wisdom System."

Ye Lingling froze for a moment.

Then she saw that a small gray wolf had appeared beside Feng Xiaoyuan.

What was even more unbelievable was that the one who had just spoken was actually him.

Ye Lingling's eyes instantly widened, her face filled with shock.

"He... he can actually talk."

As a member of the Nine Heart Begonia clan, she had seen all kinds of Martial Souls since she was young.

But this was her first time seeing a Martial Soul that could talk.

Grey Wolf put his hands on his hips, his tail raised smugly.

"What do you mean, can talk?"

"This king can do more than talk."

"This king is also the greatest inventor of the Green Green Grasslands."

Ye Lingling stared blankly at Grey Wolf.

The shock in her eyes gradually turned into curiosity.

She could not help crouching down.

She carefully sized Grey Wolf up.

"He really can talk."

"And he has his own thoughts."

"So amazing."

Grey Wolf immediately grew even smugger.

"Of course."

"This king is one of a kind."

But the next second.

Ye Lingling reached out with both hands.

And suddenly picked Grey Wolf up.

Grey Wolf froze at once.

"Eh?"

Before Grey Wolf could react, Ye Lingling had already gathered him into her arms.

Then she reached out.

And gently rubbed the wolf fur on Grey Wolf's head.

"He really feels so nice to touch."

Grey Wolf stiffened on the spot.

Feng Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment too.

Clearly, he had not expected things to turn out like this.

Ye Lingling usually looked quiet and reserved.

But right now, she was like someone who had discovered some rare treasure.

She held Grey Wolf and refused to let go.

One moment she touched his ears, the next she rubbed his head.

There was even a smile on her face, one rarely seen on her.

"So cute."

"He's so fluffy. He feels so nice."

Grey Wolf's entire wolf body froze in confusion.

He was stunned for several seconds before finally coming back to his senses.

"W-wait."

"This king is not a pet."

"Stop rubbing this king's head."

Unfortunately, his protests were completely ineffective.

Not only did Ye Lingling not stop, she even gently pinched his ears again.

"He really is so cute."

Grey Wolf instantly felt like crying but had no tears.

He was the mighty number one inventor of the Green Green Grasslands.

Yet he had actually been treated like a plush toy.

Evening.

Ye Changqing left the Feng Clan with Ye Lingling.

Before they left, Feng Yan laughed heartily.

"Lingling."

"There's still some time before school starts."

"If you feel bored at home,"

"you can come to the Feng Clan often to play. Treat the Feng Clan like your own home."

"Xiaoyuan usually cultivates alone at home too."

"When you come, he'll happen to have some company."

Ye Changqing also nodded.

Clearly, he had no objections.

Ye Lingling also nodded.

"Mm."

Then she looked at Grey Wolf and waved at him.

"Grey Wolf."

"See you next time."
