The Underlying Code of Douluo Continent

Princess Vina pursed her lips and instinctively turned to look back at her imperial father, a helpless expression appearing on her face.

Noticing his daughter's gaze, Wei Tiance beckoned her over to his side, then looked at Du Busi with expectation. "Sect Master Du, about this..."

Wei Tiance's tone was filled with obvious anticipation, while Du Busi and Jin Peng exchanged a glance.

A Brain Martial Soul—a Body Martial Soul even more exceptional than Long Aotian's Skin Martial Soul. Although Vina's Innate Soul Power was not Innate Full Soul Power, her Twin Martial Souls could make up for that to some extent.

Du Busi certainly had no desire to let such a promising talent slip away.

"Sect Master Du, may Vina join the Body Sect?"

Seeing that Du Busi had yet to respond, Wei Tiance grew somewhat anxious and hurriedly repeated himself.

Hearing this, Du Busi finally came back to his senses. "Since Princess Vina has awakened a Brain Martial Soul, she may naturally join my Body Sect."

As he spoke, Du Busi paused slightly, a troubled look appearing on his face. "However, when I took Long Aotian as my disciple at the Heavenly Soul Orphanage, I already declared that he would be my final disciple. Therefore... even if Princess Vina joins the Body Sect, it would not be appropriate for this old man to take her as a disciple again."

"However, Princess Vina may take Jin Peng, the deputy sect master of my Body Sect, as her teacher. In terms of treatment, Princess Vina will still enjoy the finest cultivation resources. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

A trace of disappointment flashed through Wei Tiance's eyes.

If Vina could directly become Du Busi's disciple, the relationship between the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family and the Body Sect would undoubtedly become extremely close. If she merely became Jin Peng's disciple... although the two sides would still establish a rather intimate relationship, it would ultimately fall somewhat short.

However, Wei Tiance quickly concealed that disappointment and replaced it with a pleased expression.

After all, Jin Peng was still the deputy sect master of the Body Sect and a rank ninety-six Super Douluo.

With a smile, Wei Tiance led Vina before Jin Peng and said softly, "Vina, come greet your teacher."

Vina raised her delicate little face and spoke in a soft, childish voice. "This disciple, Vina, greets Teacher."

Her youthful voice instantly brought a faint smile to Jin Peng's face.

He had never dreamed that his earlier joking remark to Du Busi would actually come true.

He had truly taken in a disciple with outstanding talent!

Ye An took everything in, and a question immediately surfaced in his mind—in the original work, neither he nor Zhang Lexuan had appeared, yet Du Busi had still not taken Vina as his disciple. His only disciple had been Long Aotian.

Was it because Du Busi did not want the Body Sect to become too deeply entangled with the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family... or because Vina's talent had not been exceptional enough to move him?

If it was the former, that did not seem to make much sense.

After all, Long Aotian, the young sect master of the Body Sect, had become engaged to Vina. The Body Sect had also become the protector sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and in the end, the entire sect had perished alongside the Heavenly Soul Empire. Only a handful of disciples remained, and the sect had never recovered.

But the latter... did not seem to make much sense either.

Although Vina's Innate Soul Power was somewhat lacking and not the highest-grade Innate Full Soul Power, her Brain Martial Soul was among the finest Body Martial Souls. It was no inferior to his Heart Martial Soul.

Ye An considered it seriously for a moment and could only conclude that Vina's Twin Martial Souls were rather awkward.

With Twin Martial Souls, one would usually attach Soul Rings to one Martial Soul first, then wait until one's physical constitution could bear the energy of the Soul Rings before attaching Soul Rings to the second Martial Soul. Of Vina's two Martial Souls, the Brain Martial Soul was clearly of higher quality than the Snow Lotus Martial Soul.

If she cultivated the Brain Martial Soul first, then attached Soul Rings to the Snow Lotus Martial Soul afterward, it would feel like neglecting the important for the trivial. But if she cultivated the Snow Lotus Martial Soul first, Du Busi would have nothing to teach Vina—or rather, Du Busi would at least have to wait until Vina could attach Soul Rings to her Brain Martial Soul before he could teach her.

Perhaps that was why Du Busi had not taken Vina as his disciple in the original work.

Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng had finally gotten his wish and accepted an exceptionally talented disciple, his face full of satisfaction. Du Busi had brought several top-tier geniuses into the Body Sect in succession and was equally gratified. Wei Tiance was likewise delighted that Vina had awakened a Brain Martial Soul and that the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family could draw closer to the Body Sect. For a time, the atmosphere was remarkably harmonious.

Ye An continued quietly waiting while holding Zhang Lexuan's hand. As for Long Aotian, who stood beside Ye An, he stared fixedly at Vina's face, and no one knew what lay beneath that calm expression.

Vina soon noticed Long Aotian's gaze as well. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she occasionally raised her head to sneak glances at him.

Damn impressive.

Ye An could not help giving a thumbs-up in his heart.

The continent of lovebrains truly lived up to its name.

Long Aotian and Vina were only six years old! And this was their first meeting!

And they had already fallen for each other?

What kind of underlying code was this!?

Ye An lowered his head and noticed his fingers interlaced with Zhang Lexuan's. He suddenly felt at ease.

He had already had Zhang Lexuan as a child bride when he was six... He really had no right to mock the underlying code of Douluo Continent.

Naturally, Long Aotian and Vina's little gestures could not escape Du Busi, Wei Tiance, and Jin Peng. Du Busi and Jin Peng did not think much of it, merely allowing the smiles on their faces to deepen slightly. But Wei Tiance's thoughts began racing at once.

Vina had joined the Body Sect and become the disciple of Jin Peng, the Body Sect's deputy sect master. The Heavenly Soul Imperial Family had already established a relatively close relationship with the Body Sect.

If he wanted to take that relationship a step further... a marriage alliance was unquestionably an excellent choice.

Wei Tiance's gaze lingered briefly on Ye An and Zhang Lexuan before finally settling on Long Aotian.

He could see that Ye An was extraordinary, but Du Busi had already made it clear that the orphan of the Moonwatch Viscount House would become the future wife of the Body Sect's young sect master. Therefore, Ye An was essentially out of consideration. As for Long Aotian... top-tier talent, similar age, and his daughter Vina did not seem resistant to him.

Looking at it that way, Long Aotian was the best choice.

The only drawback was that Du Busi had already chosen the Body Sect's young sect master...

Wei Tiance discreetly swept his gaze over Ye An, then immediately made a decision in his heart.

After the imperial family members in the Martial Soul Awakening Hall had departed one after another, Wei Tiance took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Sect Master Du, since you have already brought the orphan of the Moonwatch Viscount family back to the Body Sect, then there are some matters... I believe you ought to know about them."
