She Seems to Be Ignoring Me

How was he supposed to explain this Sea God's Trident mark?

What Da Ming found even harder to understand was that, after scanning the child before him with his spiritual power—

he discovered that the child was male. He had the equipment.

Da Ming thought, Wasn't our Little Seven a girl? How did she end up in the lower realm and grow that thing?

This... this wasn't right, was it?

What made Da Ming break down even more was that, after examining the child's memories—soul-searching was soul-searching—

he found that this little fellow had been adopted by an outer sect steward of the Clear Sky Sect since childhood. His life experience was as blank as a sheet of paper and had absolutely nothing to do with their Little Seven.

Forget Da Ming, a divine beast—even if Tang San, the God King himself, personally descended to the lower realm, he would not be able to inspect Bai Ran's memories from before he transmigrated.

Bai Ran thought, I reckon I'm a native of the Douluo Continent, ain't I?

"Right, what is this child's martial soul?"

Da Ming suddenly turned to Er Ming and asked.

"Tell me, what is this child's martial soul!"

Er Ming grabbed the unfortunate Clear Sky Sect elder.

The poor elder was already quite old, yet he was still lifted up like a little chick.

But Er Ming was an ancestor-level figure, after all.

No matter how bitter this Clear Sky Sect elder felt inside, he still forced a smile and said, "It is a young girl holding a trident."

"What?!"

"What?!"

Er Ming tossed the Clear Sky Sect elder aside and immediately leaned close to Bai Ran.

With his tall, muscular build and the flesh across his face,

he looked like the sort who ate children without even chewing.

"Kid, summon your martial soul, now!"

Er Ming said it in an almost commanding tone.

Neither Da Ming nor Er Ming could believe that their Little Seven had descended to the lower realm and become the martial soul of the boy before them.

But a young girl holding a trident?

And a god-tier martial soul, at that.

Other than Little Seven, who possessed the Sea God's bloodline, could anyone else in the entire Douluo Realm accomplish that?

After all, they had never heard that Sister Xiao Wu had any other daughters.

"Uh... Seniors, it's not that I don't want to summon my martial soul. It's just that she seems to be ignoring me."

Bai Ran said awkwardly.

Actually, it was not that Tang Wutong did not want to pay attention to Bai Ran.

It was because Tang Wutong had just failed to backstab Bai Ran and had instead fallen into a deep slumber herself.

In short, she had fallen asleep.

At the very least, she would not wake up for several hours.

"Ignoring you?"

The instant he heard those words, Er Ming became furious. He thought this little brat was playing him.

But then he reconsidered.

With Little Seven's personality, she really might not be willing to acknowledge a stranger.

If so, then the matter of Little Seven becoming a martial soul was practically certain.

No, he had to report this to Sister Xiao Wu and Tang San.

Next, Er Ming remained behind to watch the child while Da Ming went to the secret chamber to report that Little Seven had become some child's martial soul to her parents.

For the lower realm, nearly half a day had passed.

But in the God Realm, only a few minutes had gone by.

So when another message came from the lower realm, Xiao Wu did not mind much, but Tang San was somewhat displeased.

Tang San thought, What the hell are Da Ming and Er Ming doing in the lower realm? Calling every other minute.

They were making the God Realm's public space seem like Tang San's family's private property.

Destruction God King thought, Isn't that exactly what you think it is?

When Xiao Wu received Da Ming's message,

she froze where she stood.

"D-Da Ming, what did you say? How could Little Seven possibly... This joke isn't funny at all."

"Sister Xiao Wu, I'm not joking with you. It's true. We don't know why this happened either, so we want Tang San to come take a look."

Although Da Ming and Er Ming were both gods, they were merely ordinary divine beasts.

Their methods were far inferior to Tang San's, who had already become a God King.

Therefore, there was simply no way for them to resolve something like this.

"Something terrible has happened, Third Brother!"

Xiao Wu was frantic, especially after learning that her daughter had seemingly become the martial soul of some unfamiliar boy.

For six years, she had stayed inside a stranger's body, only awakening now.

Little Seven must have suffered terribly all these years.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?"

Tang San did not understand.

Hadn't he merely let his daughter take a trip to the lower realm?

How had something gone wrong again so soon?

If he had known, he would never have let his daughter descend to the lower realm.

Tang San thought, No, if my daughter doesn't descend to the lower realm, won't my grand plan of ten thousand years be ruined? So she still has to go down.

"Third Brother, for some unknown reason, Little Seven entered a child's body when she descended to the lower realm and became his martial soul."

Xiao Wu repeated what Da Ming had told her through the communication.

"Xiao Wu, what did you say?!"

With Da Ming and Er Ming, two powerful figures, protecting Little Seven in the lower realm, she should not have encountered any danger.

But now she was telling him that his perfectly living daughter had become someone's martial soul?

Was that right?

That wasn't right!

"Xiao Wu, don't panic, and don't cry. I'll go down and take a look right now."

Tang San did not care whether this descent to the lower realm would bring impeachment from the Destruction God King.

He directly sent down his true body and arrived within the Clear Sky Sect.

"Tang San, you're here."

Seeing Tang San arrive, Da Ming slowly let out a breath of relief.

"Where is he? Take me to see him."

Tang San did not even have time to catch up with Da Ming.

The first thing he intended to do upon arriving at the Clear Sky Sect was inspect the person who had turned his daughter into a martial soul.

"Er Ming is watching him. I'll take you there now."

Elsewhere, Er Ming and Bai Ran simply stood there, staring at each other.

"Second Sect Master, did I... do something wrong?"

Bai Ran had thought that after awakening a god-tier martial soul and possessing innate soul power above rank ten, he would be nurtured by the Clear Sky Sect's upper ranks as their future hope.

But now?

Without the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, was he still ultimately just an outsider?

And who was this Little Seven they kept talking about?

Bai Ran found the name somewhat familiar, yet he could not remember why.

But for the Clear Sky Sect's First and Second Sect Masters to care so deeply about her, she must be someone extremely important to them.

"Ah... child, you..."

Er Ming sighed helplessly.

He had been too hasty.

The child before him was only six years old, after all.

Why Little Seven had appeared on him was definitely not something a six-year-old child could know.

Wasn't his and his brother's pressure on the boy just going to chill his heart?

What if it left a knot in his heart and he fled the Clear Sky Sect in a fit of anger? Wouldn't that be completely screwed?
