At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's residence, inside a blue hall.
Yu Luomian looked Yu Xiaogang up and down, then said amiably, "Xiaogang, it looks like you've already broken through to level twenty. Not bad. I'm sure Big Brother will be pleased for you. Later, I'll arrange for clan members to help you hunt the clan's designated Spirit Beast and obtain your second Soul Ring. Make your preparations."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, unwilling in his heart. He gathered his courage and said, "Second Uncle, I already have a Spirit Beast in mind. I don't want to follow the clan's fixed arrangements. I believe my own choice will allow me to go further on the path of cultivation."
The smile on Yu Luomian's face stiffened slightly, and his dissatisfaction surged up once more. Still, he tried to remain calm as he said, "Xiaogang, you're still young. There are matters you haven't considered thoroughly enough. The clan's experience and arrangements have been accumulated over many years. They cannot be wrong. Just follow the clan's arrangements."
However, Yu Xiaogang's eyes revealed confidence and determination as he continued, "Second Uncle, I'm not acting willfully. I have truly conducted in-depth research into and gained an understanding of the Spirit Beast I have chosen. The clan's arrangements may be safe, but I believe my choice will allow me to take a greater step forward on the path of cultivation. I hope Second Uncle will grant my request."
Yu Luomian fell silent for a moment and thought to himself, Hmph, Yu Xiaogang is a useless waste anyway. I've already tried persuading him. If he refuses to listen, then so be it. He waved his hand and said, "Fine. Do as you please."
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and hurriedly said respectfully, "Thank you, Second Uncle, for granting my request. Xiaogang will certainly not disappoint you."
Yu Luomian waved his hand. "Go and prepare. I'll arrange for clan members to assist you, but you must remain vigilant at all times. Do not let your guard down."
After speaking, an indescribable emotion rose within Yu Luomian. At that moment, he did not wish to dwell on the matter any further. He only hoped Yu Xiaogang would not bring too much trouble to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As for everything else, it would depend on Yu Xiaogang's own fate.
Just then, Yu Luomian caught sight of an old man in gray standing outside the hall. He said to Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, you may leave first."
"Yes, Second Uncle." Yu Xiaogang respectfully took his leave. As he headed out, he saw the gray-clothed old man and deliberately greeted him. "Uncle Fu!"
This gray-clothed old man was none other than Uncle Fu, who had clashed with Jun Lin in Sunset Forest and survived after taking one of Jun Lin's attacks.
After a month of recuperation, he had finally recovered from his injuries and returned from Heaven Dou City to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's residence.
"Young Master Xiaogang." Uncle Fu nodded to Yu Xiaogang.
Then he walked straight into the hall and approached Yu Luomian. He bowed slightly, his expression carrying a trace of gravity. "Second Master, a few days ago, I accompanied the young lady to Sunset Forest to obtain a Soul Ring. Unexpectedly, we encountered an incident."
"We met a young man named Jun Lin in the forest. This boy was extraordinarily powerful, possessing a thousand-year second ring and a ten-thousand-year fourth ring. The young lady saw him for the first time... However, afterward, a minor matter caused a conflict between her and Jun Lin..."
Uncle Fu paused, recalling the scene from that time, before continuing, "Jun Lin did not seem to be an ordinary person either... The young lady was young and hot-blooded, so naturally she refused to let it go... Unexpectedly, Jun Lin suddenly attacked. This old servant fought with all his strength to block him, but I only managed to withstand a single move before suffering severe injuries. Fortunately, this old servant's life was tough, and I survived by luck."
Yu Luomian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "That child Erlong is far too willful. Since Jun Lin possessed such strength, why did you have to come into conflict with him?"
Uncle Fu sighed softly. "Second Master, the young lady acted on impulse. Jun Lin's behavior at the time was indeed somewhat difficult to understand, and the young lady misunderstood him. That was what led to the dispute."
"Thinking back on it now, this old servant also feels that our actions then were somewhat rash. But Jun Lin's strength was truly astonishing. This old servant has been wondering what background he comes from to possess such shocking cultivation. If he harbors hostility toward our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, that would be troublesome."
Yu Luomian sank into thought. After a moment, he said, "Set this matter aside for now. As for Erlong, advise her more as well. Do not let her act so impulsively again."
Uncle Fu nodded in acknowledgment. "This old servant understands. I will certainly do my utmost to persuade the young lady."
Yu Luomian nodded slightly. Then he recalled Yu Xiaogang's impending hunt for his second Soul Ring and said to Uncle Fu, "Ah Fu, Xiaogang will soon be going to obtain his second Soul Ring. Go and lend him a hand. That child has his own ideas. Although I have agreed to let him choose his own Spirit Beast, there is still a certain amount of risk. You are experienced, so you can guide him at critical moments."
Uncle Fu bowed slightly and replied, "Rest assured, Second Master. This old servant will certainly do everything in my power to assist Young Master Xiaogang. It is only that this matter concerning Jun Lin still worries me. The forces behind him are unfathomable. If he truly becomes an enemy of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, unforeseen changes may arise. Should we investigate him?"
Yu Luomian considered it for a moment, then waved his hand. "For now, it is only speculation. We'll take things one step at a time. Xiaogang's matter is more urgent. Go prepare quickly and ensure this Soul Ring hunt proceeds smoothly."
Uncle Fu accepted the order and departed, while Yu Luomian returned to his chair and fell into deep thought...
Soon afterward, Uncle Fu hurried to Yu Xiaogang's residence. Yu Xiaogang was packing his luggage and making final preparations for obtaining his Soul Ring.
Uncle Fu looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked in a somewhat respectful tone, "Young Master Xiaogang, this old servant has come under Second Master's orders to assist you in obtaining your second Soul Ring. Do you have a specific plan in mind?"
Yu Xiaogang raised his head, confidence gleaming in his eyes. "Uncle Fu, I have already thoroughly researched the Spirit Beast I have chosen. It appears in Sunset Forest. As far as I know, the Spirit Beasts there are relatively manageable in strength, making them suitable for me to obtain my second Soul Ring."
"Sun... Sunset Forest?"
The moment Uncle Fu heard Sunset Forest, he was rendered utterly speechless. That was where he had previously suffered severe injuries, and he had only returned to the clan after recuperating for a full month. Now, he had to head back to that place that still filled him with lingering fear.
Only a few hundred a month, and I'm risking my life for this? he grumbled inwardly.
But he also understood where his duty lay. He could only suppress his reluctance and say, "Young Master Xiaogang, Sunset Forest carries a certain degree of danger. This old servant was seriously injured there before. But since you have decided to go, this old servant will naturally protect you with all his strength. We simply must be even more careful."
...Soon afterward, the two set out together on the road to Sunset Forest...
Along the way, Uncle Fu gave Yu Xiaogang a detailed introduction to the situation within Sunset Forest. Yu Xiaogang listened attentively and occasionally raised questions, which Uncle Fu patiently answered one by one...
