[The [My dad is Li Gang] entry has successfully taken effect.] [Target: Wang Xian'er. Martial soul: Healing Angel. Cultivation: rank 95 support-type Super Douluo. Identity: a consecrated elder of the Star Luo Imperial Family, the highest-cultivated healing-type and support-type Soul Master on the Douluo Continent. Age: 213. A powerhouse from the same era as Dragon God Douluo Mu En.] [Identity explanation: In her youth, Wang Xian'er was hunted by the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters because of her martial soul. She was later rescued by a consecrated elder of the Star Luo Empire. To repay him, she joined the Star Luo Empire and subsequently became one of its consecrated elders.] [Because he had saved her life, Wang Xian'er took that consecrated elder as her sworn elder brother, and he continued to look after her throughout her cultivation. However, while rescuing Wang Xian'er, he killed Old Ghost Zhongli's disciple, leading the Holy Spirit Cult to slaughter his entire family. You are his last surviving descendant, lost to the world beyond his home.] [Wang Xian'er never married and has no descendants. Her sole obsession is repaying her elder brother, yet his entire family was slaughtered because of her. This is a source of regret and anguish she can never resolve.]
Streams of information poured into Su Yuan's mind, and the [My dad is Li Gang] entry on the tag page, which had been glowing faintly gold, went completely dark.
That meant the entry could no longer be used.
Looking at Wang Xian'er sitting across from him, her expression full of kindness, Su Yuan finally let go of the anxiety that had kept his heart suspended.
She might only be a support-type Soul Master, but how did that saying go? Being able to fight alone meant nothing. To get anywhere in the world, you needed power behind you and connections to back you up.
Wang Xian'er belonged to the same generation as Mu En and Long Xiaoyao. Quite apart from being a consecrated elder of the Star Luo Imperial Family with an empire behind her, she had healed plenty of powerhouses over her lifetime. Her network of connections spoke for itself.
As long as she was alive, she could summon a whole crowd of powerhouses to back Su Yuan up in minutes.
Honestly, that kind of backing was far stronger than a lone-wolf Titled Douluo.
He felt so safe.
Besides, she was practically a walking cheat who could convert life force directly into soul power. Ultimately, her cultivation had stalled at rank 95 because human Soul Masters' life force fell a little short.
As long as she was supplied with an enormous life source, Wang Xian'er could smoothly condense a second soul core and become a healing-type Limit Douluo.
And where would that life source come from?
The Star Luo Empire again-the Starlight Auction House!
This was a case of washing down a meal with the very broth it had been cooked in.
The moment he heard Wang Xian'er's name, Su Yuan had thought of the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife.
Although the system hadn't randomly assigned him a Limit Douluo guardian, Su Yuan could create one himself!
According to the system's entry description, Wang Xian'er really would dote on him unconditionally, treating him even more dearly than her own son.
With that relationship in place, she would be Su Yuan's greatest backer unless he kept courting death himself, gradually wearing away every last bit of her patience and affection.
He just had no idea how the system had made such a ridiculously overpowered relationship utterly seamless, even producing a jade pendant to verify his identity.
Well... I already have a system. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for it to have a few miraculous powers?
Su Yuan gave up thinking about it.
While his attention wandered to the system's entry abilities, Wang Xian'er was explaining a few things to him, including part of the background described in the entry.
Essentially, Su Yuan was a descendant of an elder brother of Wang Xian'er's. She had been searching for him for a long time, and only today, while passing through Jiubao City by chance, had she sensed the jade pendant's aura.
She didn't go into much detail, merely letting Su Yuan know the broad outline.
Su Yuan also briefly described his life in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, skimming over most of its dull monotony. He only casually mentioned what the sect's higher-ups had done, without deliberately tattling on them.
That was how he put it, but Wang Xian'er had sharp eyes. Old ginger was still the spiciest. She could tell immediately that Su Yuan had definitely been treated unfairly in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
After hearing him out, Wang Xian'er directly revealed her status as a consecrated elder of the Star Luo Empire and stated that she wanted to take him to Star Luo City and properly nurture his cultivation.
Would Su Yuan refuse?
Of course not...
He had been waiting for his Titled Douluo relative to show up and take him away from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Then the sky would be high enough for birds to soar, and the sea broad enough for fish to leap.
Seeing Su Yuan nod, Wang Xian'er gave him a high-grade Storage Soul Tool made of starlight sapphire and told him to pack his things.
She herself went to find Sect Master Ning Zhiyuan, explaining her relationship with Su Yuan and making clear that she intended to take him away.
Would Ning Zhiyuan refuse?
He wouldn't, and he didn't dare.
Wang Xian'er was far too senior, and her reputation carried far too much weight.
Few among the younger generation had heard her great name, but that did nothing to diminish her standing in the hearts of the older generation.
He didn't even ask Wang Xian'er for compensation for raising Su Yuan, readily telling her she could simply take him away.
It was fortunate that he hadn't imposed any conditions. Given the "grievances" Su Yuan had suffered in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, if he had dared say one word too many, Wang Xian'er would absolutely have called people over to loosen his hide.
The current Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was no longer what it had once been. The entire sect had only one rank 95 Super Douluo protecting it.
It wasn't much better off than the Heavenly Dragon Sect, which had emerged from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
At most, it had a little more money and a few more connections. Its true top-end fighting strength could only be described as increasingly pathetic.
Otherwise, Ning Tian wouldn't have gone off to Shrek herself to hook a rich sucker.
Wang Xian'er was quite pleased that matters had been resolved so easily. Just as Ning Zhiyuan had suggested, she left nothing behind and departed with Su Yuan once he had packed.
There was no need to leave anything.
A few years of raising him hadn't cost much. Simply giving money would be rather insulting to the deep-pocketed Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, while giving too little would make Su Yuan seem unimportant.
She might as well leave it at that. At worst, if someone from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect came to her with an injury later, she could treat them for free.
Su Yuan didn't have much to pack either.
He kept to himself, had no attachments, and received no resources. The most valuable thing in his room was still the jade pendant the system had given him earlier to establish his family connection.
Aside from that, he had only a few sets of sect uniforms, not even any ordinary clothes.
Since he never went out, it made no difference what he wore.
Su Yuan's indifference truly made Wang Xian'er's heart ache. She took him to buy a huge pile of clothing and daily necessities in Jiubao City before they flew toward Star Luo City together.
On this perfectly ordinary day, Wang Xian'er's arrival instantly turned Su Yuan's life upside down.
From an utterly unnoticed orphan in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's outer sect, he had leaped straight into becoming a Super Douluo's only junior family member.
Watching Jiubao City vanish completely beyond the horizon, Su Yuan's expression, dulled by years of slacking off like a salted fish, gradually regained a little life.
Star Luo City, here I come!
The good life is about to begin!
