Skywater City

Dugu Bo went to find Dugu Yan with a heart full of joy.

Lin Xiao also flew all the way north under the guidance of Xuan Zi.

Feeling the elevation increase, the weather gradually grew colder.

At dusk, the two finally arrived in Skywater City.

Lin Xiao booked two suites.

After tidying up simply, he planned to go downstairs for a stroll.

Skywater Academy and the Shui Family were situated right within Skywater City.

Shui Bing'er, the proud daughter of heaven from Douluo I, was also here.

According to the original work, Shui Bing'er should be around eight to nine years old at this time.

Lin Xiao's impression of her was still quite deep.

Not only did she possess the top-tier Beast Martial Soul Ice Phoenix, but her crowd-control ability had even beaten Tang San to the point of almost losing his self-confidence.

It was just such a genius who could crush the vast majority of members among the Shrek Seven Devils.

After this, she seemed to vanish into thin air, appearing in only a handful of shots.

In the Battle of Jialing Pass, she had reached the level of a Soul Douluo.

A Soul Douluo under thirty years of age.

Breaking through to Titled Douluo within fifty years could be said to be a nailed-on certainty.

If she possessed the soul core method of a ten thousand years later or a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Shui Bing'er's final achievement would definitely not be lower than level 97.

This trip was originally to make a deal with the Ice and Snow Emperors using an Immortal Herb.

And by the way, to inspect what that bead actually was.

If he could manage to bring the Shui Family to submit...

It could be considered icing on the cake.

As he thought and thought, suddenly, with a "bang" sound.

He bumped head-on into someone.

"Ouch! Are you not looking where you're walking?"

A coquettish cry rang out.

Lin Xiao rubbed his head and looked forward.

A girl with aqua-blue curly hair was knocked to the ground by him, holding her head and looking at him with a face full of grievance.

Next to her, another girl with fair skin and exquisite facial features slowly pulled her up.

Shui Yue'er, Shui Bing'er?

This was Lin Xiao's first thought.

His luck was pretty good...

He had originally thought of grabbing a late-night snack, then strolling over to the entrance of Skywater Academy to try his luck.

He hadn't expected that the main targets would come right up to him.

Shui Yue'er had already straightened her body at this moment.

She looked at Lin Xiao.

Her whole person froze.

In the entire Skywater City, she had never seen someone so handsome.

Lin Xiao was naturally fresh-faced and very easy on the eyes.

After absorbing the Immortal Herb, his entire temperament and appearance had risen to another level.

He was already as outstanding as one-tenth of the reader-dads.

The grievance generated by the collision was instantly washed away by more than half.

As a future wild girl, even though Shui Yue'er was not yet ten years old, she felt as if she had fallen in love.

After all, this was the Douluo Continent.

Her tone became much gentler.

"Little brother, you just bumped into me, you know that? What's your name? Can we get to know each other?"

Lin Xiao's eyelid twitched. Shui Yue'er was too impatient this time, she should have started by chatting about their family backgrounds...

Shui Bing'er only felt extremely awkward.

She grabbed Shui Yue'er's arm and pulled her back slightly.

"Sorry, my sister's personality is a bit... uh, lively. Please don't take offense."

Lin Xiao looked at Shui Bing'er.

"It's fine. You must be Shui Bing'er of the Shui Family, right? Seeing you today, you really are as pretty as the rumors say."

"My name is Lin Xiao. I originally wanted to go downstairs for dinner and stroll around the entrance of Skywater Academy by the way. Since my luck is good and I ran into you two, I'll just get straight to the point..."

Xuan Zi, who was following behind, released a trace of his own aura.

The old woman behind Shui Bing'er instantly changed expression drastically.

"I want to discuss some matters with the Shui Family. Could you trouble you to lead the way?"

Shui Bing'er felt that this person before her was a bit strange, acting like a little adult who still needed to negotiate matters with her father? Before she could even speak.

The old woman behind her took two steps forward.

"Crown Your Eminence, I don't know how I should address you? Little friend Lin Xiao, right? Of course it's possible. I'll take you over in a moment."

The old woman bowed slightly to Xuan Zi.

As a level 67 Soul Emperor, while Shui Tianyi of the Shui Family was a Soul Saint powerhouse who had even reached the half-step Soul Douluo realm.

She could naturally distinguish even the aura of a Soul Douluo.

Powerful, but it was just that.

Yet this old man in front of her was dressed in clearly very ragged clothes, but his aura was like a vast ocean, making it impossible for anyone to even muster up half a shred of resistance.

Titled Douluo!

The old woman instantly figured it out at the first moment.

She made two hand gestures to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, signaling them to keep quiet.

Then she carefully asked.

A powerhouse at the Titled Douluo level-if they were angered into displeasure.

The entire Shui Family would not be able to withstand his wrath.

"This old man is Taotie, Lin Xiao's guardian. You can discuss whatever you have with him."

Xuan Zi spoke indifferently, then continued to half-close his eyes and took a sip of small wine.

As if he didn't care about anything.

The old woman nodded.

"Crown Taotie, and little friend Lin Xiao, this way please..."

She reached out and made a welcoming gesture, then walked to the very front to lead the way.

Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were not fools either.

When Granny Sha uttered the two words "Crown", they knew just how terrifying the old grandfather in front of them was.

And so on the way to the Shui Family.

The two of them simply remained very obedient, following the footsteps of the few.

They didn't ask any questions, nor did they continue trying to strike up a conversation with Lin Xiao.

They only curiously stole glances at the two of them.

Shui Family.

Shui Tianyi, upon receiving the news, immediately called back his own biological younger sister, Shui Yunxi, who was currently serving as the principal of Skywater Academy.

Together with his wife Lin Wan, they stood at the grand entrance of the Shui Family.

The three of them waited quietly.

Pedestrians passing by were all filled with amazement.

In Skywater City, the three people representing the highest status were standing quietly at the entrance right now, receiving guests just like butlers.

They all slowed their paces, softly discussing in low voices with their companions beside them.

"Where is Auntie Sha? Hasn't she brought people back yet?"

Shui Yunxi spoke first, a trace of worry lingering between her brows.

That person had clearly stated that they wanted to discuss some kind of deal with the Shui Family.

But if the conditions of the deal were too harsh, or conditions that the Shui Family could not permit.

They might fall into a difficult dilemma.

Let alone the Shui Family and Skywater Academy, even if the four elemental academies and their main families behind them united together.

They might not necessarily be able to fight a Titled Douluo.

The figures of Lin Xiao and Xuan Zi quickly appeared before their eyes.

"Auntie Sha" spoke up.

"Family Head, this is Crown Taotie and little friend Lin Xiao. This conversation was proposed by little friend Lin Xiao, and this old woman will take her leave first..."

After saying that, she very sensibly took Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er away.

Shui Tianyi revealed a trace of a smile.

"Welcome, little friend Lin Xiao, to my Shui Family. I heard that you haven't had dinner yet, so I have already had the servants prepare a sumptuous banquet. We can eat and chat as we go."

Shui Tianyi greeted Lin Xiao and invited him inside. Yet out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't stop looking at Lin Xiao over and over again.

As a peak Soul Saint, he could sense the soul power and Soul Power Level inside Lin Xiao's body.

Soul Grandmaster! This total amount of soul power was even more than that of ordinary Soul Ancestors!

Looking at Lin Xiao's face of barely six years old, Shui Tianyi only felt that his worldview was constantly being reshaped.

Lin Wan and Shui Yunxi at the side were the exact same.

After all, the three of them were all Soul Saint powerhouses.

Not daring to delay for even a moment, Shui Tianyi led Lin Xiao into the main living room.

A servant immediately poured tea for him.

Xuan Zi stood quietly by Lin Xiao's side, unmoving.

Xuan Zi, having been enhanced by the system, was already able to resist the temptation brought by fine food.

Seeing Xuan Zi's actions, Shui Tianyi attached even greater importance to Lin Xiao, who was merely six years old.

"Well, Family Head Shui, let's begin."
