Xiao Gang, Do You Want a Girlfriend?

Likewise, Ye Qingcheng thought so too.

Their Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Spirit had no offensive power whatsoever. If they wanted to find teammates or a partner, assault-type Soul Masters were undoubtedly the best choice.

And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was among the very best Martial Spirits for assault-type Soul Masters.

Not to mention that the young sect master had awakened an even more powerful Golden Sacred Dragon.

Moreover, she had heard that Yu Xiaogang had already reached level twenty-two, and... he was not even seven years old yet!

That cultivation speed... was simply astounding.

Level twenty-two at six years old? Were they kidding?

She would even believe it if someone said Yu Xiaogang had Innate Soul Power of twenty.

Strike when it was time to strike; hesitation only led to defeat.

If she acted too slowly, whether there would even be a chance was another matter entirely.

Now that they had met the parents and Yu Yuanzhen had a favorable impression of Ye Lingling, it was time to move on to the next step.

As a parent, she still placed great importance on her child's wishes.

It would be best if the families could become even closer through marriage, but if not, there was nothing to be done.

It would depend on how Lingling felt after spending time with Yu Xiaogang.

If there was potential, she would start pushing things along with all her might.

"Cough, cough... Sect Master Yu, I actually came here today with another favor to ask."

"Oh? Please, go ahead." Yu Yuanzhen had probably guessed what Ye Qingcheng was about to say.

But still, formalities had to be observed.

Whether he brought it up or Ye Qingcheng brought it up were two entirely different matters.

"Sect Master Yu, my Lingling has also reached the age for school. She should have been sent to study two years ago, when she turned six."

"But... the Ye Family truly does not have much in the way of connections, and I do not know which academy to choose."

"She is my only daughter. Ah, it has truly been worrying me."

"I wonder if Sect Master Yu has any good suggestions?"

Ye Qingcheng was practically one step away from saying outright, "Wherever Yu Xiaogang attends school, I'll send my Lingling there too. The two children can look after each other, and I'll be more at ease."

Yu Yuanzhen remained composed and utterly unhurried.

What lack of connections? That was merely polite talk.

The Ye Family's connections were far more impressive than the world imagined.

Ye Lingling was already eight and still had not gone to school. Clearly, they had been waiting to see the result of Xiao Gang's Martial Spirit awakening.

The Ye Family did not lack the resources for early cultivation, nor did they lack a foundation. Even if Ye Lingling did not attend an academy, her growth would not be affected.

Ye Qingcheng's primary purpose in sending Ye Lingling to school was still to find reliable teammates and cultivate Ye Lingling's own connections, rather than having her rely on Ye Qingcheng forever.

But then again, my son has the bearing of a god! Who could possibly be more outstanding than my Xiao Gang?!

He first summoned a maid and had some pastries and desserts brought over for Ye Lingling before answering Ye Qingcheng. "I do have a way, but it depends on whether Family Head Ye is willing to let her go."

"Oh?"

"Let me hear it."

Ye Qingcheng immediately sensed that something was off.

From Yu Yuanzhen's tone, Yu Xiaogang was probably not attending Thunder Academy or Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Xiao Gang went to Spirit Hall Academy."

Yu Yuanzhen did not keep her in suspense and stated it directly.

A clear trace of shock flashed through Ye Qingcheng's eyes. "Sect Master Yu, are you joking?"

"The waters involved run very deep. Take this old man's advice: do not investigate further."

Ye Lingling obediently ate pastries to the side, completely unmoved by the adults' conversation.

She did not quite understand it.

But the pastries served by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were delicious~

Ye Qingcheng fell into thought.

Yu Yuanzhen added, "If Family Head Ye trusts me, then place your bet."

"If you are unwilling to take this risk, the relationship between our two families will not change because of it."

Ye Qingcheng did not know the details behind this.

Nor did she know what was special about Xiao Gang.

Yu Yuanzhen could understand Ye Qingcheng's hesitation.

After all, she had only this one daughter, and the Nine-Heart Begonia was unlike other Martial Spirits. It was passed down through a single bloodline.

The risks truly had to be considered.

Ye Qingcheng suddenly smiled. "Then I will have to trouble Sect Master Yu to make an introduction."

"I believe my Lingling should meet Spirit Hall Academy's admission standards."

No one would refuse a Soul Master with the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Spirit as a teammate.

As long as the holder of the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Spirit was still alive, unless you were killed instantly, no matter how severe your injuries were, you could be saved!

"Oh? Family Head Ye, you are not afraid that something unexpected might happen?" Now it was Yu Yuanzhen's turn to be curious.

He had not expected Ye Qingcheng to choose to place her bet.

Among families like theirs, Spirit Hall's reputation could not be called good. It could even be said to be poor.

"Hehe~" Ye Qingcheng chuckled softly. "Sect Master Yu dares to let his own son leave home, so what do I have to fear?"

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had not produced another Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Spirit in all these years.

It would not be an exaggeration to call Yu Xiaogang Yu Yuanzhen's most precious treasure.

Since Yu Yuanzhen dared to send Yu Xiaogang to Spirit Hall Academy, he naturally had something to rely on that she did not know about.

And Yu Yuanzhen's behavior over the past few days had been strange.

If any other sect produced a genius like Yu Xiaogang, they would wish for no one to know about him.

They would only announce him to the world after raising him to prominence.

Yet Yu Yuanzhen seemed to have never intended to conceal him from the very beginning.

He allowed this information to spread.

As though he had seen through Ye Qingcheng's thoughts, Yu Yuanzhen gave a soft snort. "If one hides one's head and shows one's tail, then one is not a true dragon, but a worm. That would set the limit of one's life forever."

In his view, a true dragon should soar through the nine heavens! Not hide away timidly!

"Well said! Sect Master Yu's bearing truly earns my admiration."

Yu Yuanzhen's display only made Ye Qingcheng more certain that the father and son possessed something she did not know about.

People only said such things when they had confidence.

Of course, there was another possibility: stupidity, the kind of stupidity that bred boundless arrogance.

Yu Yuanzhen was clearly not that sort of fool. He was obviously the former.

"Then I shall leave this matter to Sect Master Yu."

"Gladly, gladly."

"Stay as guests at my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for the next few days and allow me to fulfill my duties as host."

"Then we will trouble Sect Master Yu for a few days."

Two days later.

Yu Yuanzhen personally arrived in Spirit City.

Why did he not use a letter or have someone else deliver the message?

Naturally, because he cared about his son.

There was no need for so much roundabout talk when father and son spoke privately.

Some things were not suitable to explain in a letter.

He first sought out Bibi Dong.

They discussed Ye Lingling's enrollment.

Bibi Dong agreed almost immediately.

Why would she refuse such talent coming to study at Spirit Hall Academy?

Especially since Yu Yuanzhen's reason was that Ye Lingling possessed the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Spirit and was well suited to be Yu Xiaogang's teammate.

After learning from Bibi Dong that Yu Xiaogang was currently cultivating in the academy's Mimicry Training Room, Yu Yuanzhen hurried off to find him.

Yu Yuanzhen set up a Soul Power barrier, then looked at Yu Xiaogang, who seemed somewhat puzzled by his arrival, and said, "Xiao Gang, do you want a girlfriend?"
