"Your Excellency Di Tian,"
Dugu Bo looked at Di Tian, his tone growing more solemn.
"Yanyan's innate soul power is rank nine. Her Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor martial soul evolved only after the Great Enshrined helped me resolve the poison defect in our family's martial soul all those years ago. This child grew up in Spirit City, taught that humans and soul beasts are equals. She is steady and mature, certainly no unruly brat. I offer this Rejuvenation Pill as a token of my sincerity and ask Star Dou to find her a soul spirit willing to enter a pact."
Di Tian's golden vertical pupils settled on Dugu Yan behind the crowd. The little girl wore a pale green dress and stood without the slightest trace of timidity. Though her hands tightly clutched the hem of her dress, her gaze remained fixed on the soul spirit formation in the center of the hall, her small frame radiating a composure beyond her years.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"She broke through rank ten before turning seven, has rank-nine innate soul power, and can even control an evolved Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor... A rare genius indeed. Was your family's martial soul problem truly resolved by the Great Enshrined?"
"Indeed."
Dugu Bo nodded, gratitude flickering in his eyes.
"Ten years ago, backlash from my martial soul nearly brought the Jade Phosphorus Snake lineage to an end. The Great Enshrined intervened and helped me resolve the problem with Spirit Hall, and even asked Elder Yue Guan to refine the Earth Dragon Golden Pearl Pill. Not only did I benefit personally, but the martial souls of our descendants were also freed of that defect entirely. Yanyan owes her talent today in no small part to Spirit Hall's protection
