A chance encounter with Nan Shuishui and her daughter; searching for Ye Guyi

"Dean Xian, isn't this a bit too much of an overestimation of others' morale and a diminishing of our own?" Bei Bei said, frowning slightly.

"The last time Dean Yan and I saw him, that guy didn't reveal his strength either. He just commanded the Body Sect experts to attack. Maybe... he's so arrogant because of those Immortal Herb."

"Not bad!" Tang Wutong nodded fiercely.

"If he's truly that strong, why hasn't he shown it at all? Even when Yu Tianlong provoked him, he didn't show any anger. That's not like him..."

"..."

Xian Lin'er glanced at the two of them, who were singing in unison, somewhat speechless.

Her information came from several months ago, when the Body Sect stirred up a huge wave in the Sun Moon Empire. This kid dared to step on the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire's head and make a name for himself.

However, due to the Sun Moon Empire's complete information blockade, only members of the Sun Moon Empire and high-ranking officials of other forces knew about this intelligence.

"I will personally deal with him, to avenge Xuanzu, and... others." Bei Bei's face was full of arrogance as she coldly stared at Lu Cheng's figure.

He felt that he was always living in the other person's shadow.

He had a girlfriend, but then he turned around and ran into her arms. Even Zhang Lexuan ignored him completely, treating him like air, while he treated Lu Cheng like a treasure.

Even after he learned that it was because Xuanzu used Evil Soul Master to slaughter Zhang Lexuan's family, he still believed that Lu Cheng was behind it all.

Now that he has reached level 75, even with the addition of powerful figures from the Clear Sky Sect, he still holds the captain's position.

During his time at the Shrek Academy, he had also experimented and found that even ordinary Soul Douluo powerhouses were no match for him. Soul Saint is the watershed for Soul Master; whether or not one can awaken their Martial Soul Avatar makes all the difference in strength.

Therefore, to put it simply, he's become a bit arrogant.

I want to take back all the humiliation I suffered, bit by bit.

Lu Cheng of the Body Sect is a perfect target.

By trampling him underfoot and leading Shrek Academy to victory, he can not only secure his position as the future leader of Shrek, but also make a name for himself.

Let those who underestimated him in the last competition know.

He, Bei Bei, is a genius too!!

"..."

Xian Lin'er frowned slightly, wanting to explain, but Xuan Zi raised his hand to stop her. Right now, it's the middle of a major competition, and there's no need to dampen Bei Bei's enthusiasm. Besides, Bei Bei's strength is indeed top-notch.

The first day concluded amidst cheers from the audience.

They simply divided Mingdu Square into several battle stages, and in just one day, at least a hundred matches were held, eliminating nearly a hundred teams.

However, although there are still several days of elimination matches to come, teams such as the Body Sect, the Sun Moon Empire Royal Team, and Shrek Academy all finished on the first day, so the audience's desire to watch the subsequent matches naturally diminished.

These championship favorites were basically overwhelmingly dominant, and the players at the Soul Emperor level could only be considered as the main force, a stark contrast to the intensity of the previous tournament.

Many people have also begun to doubt whether Lu Cheng, the champion of the previous competition, could still compete today.

Lu Cheng remained calm as he walked out of the hotel's top-floor suite and took the soul-guided elevator down. Zhang Lexuan was dressed much more plainly today, lacking her usual extravagance. She wore only a light blue uniform and high heels, and her beautiful face, though without makeup, still exuded a Swan -like elegance.

"Young Master Lu?"

However, the soul-guided elevator stopped at a certain floor, the metal door slowly opened, and two beautiful figures walked in one after the other.

The leading woman was dressed in pink, as was the girl behind her, and they looked very similar, clearly a mother and daughter.

Seeing the other party address her so affectionately, and noticing the evasive glint in his eyes despite his seemingly calm demeanor, Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly and gently pinched Lu Cheng's waist with her slender hand.

As Lu Cheng's undisputed empress, she could naturally tolerate other women, even wildflowers, but she couldn't stand Lu Cheng trying to get everything into her bowl.

Even married women.

Lu Cheng's eyes twitched, and he naturally noticed the misunderstanding of this Grandmaster. He coughed lightly twice.

"Nanmen Master? It's been six years since I last saw her. I didn't expect this little girl to have grown up so much."

"Exactly." As a widow who had served as the sect leader for many years, Nan Shuishui was naturally adept at reading people and understood the situation at a glance. She then followed up on Lu Cheng's words and steered the conversation toward Nan Qiuqiu.

As the soul guide elevator descended, Lu Cheng exchanged a few brief pleasantries and then left with Zhang Lexuan.

Nan Shuishui watched the two figures disappear into the distance with her beautiful eyes, and breathed a long sigh of relief. Although the other party might have a bad reputation on the mainland, at least in her opinion, the other party had no intention of killing her to silence her.

"Mother, that person is indeed quite interesting." Nan Qiuqiu said shyly, her hands behind her back.

As she got closer, taking advantage of the brief pause in her mother's conversation with him, she stole several glances at the guy. He was indeed handsome, and his temperament was gentle and refined, completely unlike what outsiders had described as... arrogant, domineering, and haughty.

He's a really good person.

Nan Shuishui's eyes twitched violently.

Snap!

He slapped Nan Qiuqiu on the back of the head. "Who do you think he is? Someone you dare to mess with? The woman standing next to him just now was Zhang Lexuan, the Grandmaster of the inner academy who resolutely defected from the Shrek Academy with him back then. She's not even thirty years old now, but her aura makes even me tremble."

"A being at least at the Super Douluo level could kill you with a single slap!"

Nan Shuishui glared at her daughter with a serious expression.

"Just now, she was jealous. She thought I..."

"So Lu Cheng was helping me out of a predicament. Sigh, but it makes sense. I'm old enough to be his mother now..." Nan Shuishui laughed self-deprecatingly.

Over the years, as the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Sect, coupled with her own beauty, she naturally had many suitors, but without exception, she was rejected without hesitation.

"Super Douluo, that beautiful older sister?!" Nan Qiuqiu's pupils dilated in shock, her red lips parted slightly, her face filled with disbelief.

"Her talent was already top-notch; otherwise, Mu En wouldn't have gone so far as to slaughter her entire sect to recruit her into Shrek. In short, don't provoke that guy. He's surrounded by top-tier prodigies. I heard before... even the young sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is fond of him."

Nan Shuishui sighed, and then took the opportunity to give a warning to her own arrogant daughter.

"Okay, I understand." But Nan Qiuqiu only nodded perfunctorily, and then couldn't help but look in the direction where Lu Cheng left, before reluctantly turning her gaze back after a long while.

"Well..."

Seeing this, Nan Shuishui sighed softly.

She knew perfectly well that her daughter was already in love.

There was no way around it; that boy was simply too extraordinary, with no rivals among his peers. He was unique and a force to be reckoned with, a presence that dominated an entire era. She understood that feeling.

but...

Mingdu.

The nighttime is especially vibrant, with colorful neon lights flashing, resembling a sea of stars when viewed from above.

Lu Cheng and Zhang Lexuan were standing in front of a hotel.

"The Green Hotel, not bad..."

Lu Cheng nodded slightly and took the lead, walking straight in.

At the front desk, several beautiful women in slit cheongsams greeted guests. One of them, with a professional, fake smile, asked, "Excuse me, sir, are you here to book a room?"

"No, find your boss," Lu Cheng said calmly.

"Sorry, the boss isn't here." The woman shook her head.

"I'm referring to Shangguan Wei'er, not the so-called hotel owner," Lu Cheng said calmly, tapping his fingers lightly on the counter as he stared at the woman.

"Let her come see me."

Seeing the woman's surprised and uncertain expression, Lu Cheng leisurely sat down on the sofa in the rest area. "Tell her that Lu Cheng from the Body Sect has come to visit. If she doesn't see him, she can forget about this hotel..."

"..."

The woman's eyelids twitched violently. She noticed the manager not far away nodding to her, realizing that someone she couldn't afford to offend had indeed arrived. Her tone became even more respectful. "Please wait a moment."

Lu Cheng slowly closed his eyes, saying nothing more.

Zhang Lexuan sat gracefully beside him, appearing as gentle and charming as a wife accompanying him, which attracted the attention of many people.

Although this hotel is nominally a hotel, it is actually a hidden treasure, belonging to the Ordinary Alliance, one of the three major underground forces in Mingdu.

Sure enough, within seconds...

The two were then led to a secluded room.

A charming and alluring woman with a swaying figure quickly appeared, covering her red lips with a smile and saying, "So it's Young Master Lu. I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner."

"I've come today with only one matter. If you tell the truth, we'll live in peace. But if you dare to lie to me..."

Lu Cheng slowly opened his eyes, still sitting on the sofa, but his aura was fully unleashed. Zhang Lexuan, who was beside him, glanced at Lu Cheng with her light blue eyes, and the aura of Super Douluo was released completely in the small room without any concealment.

In a mere instant, he forced Shangguan Wei'er had been completely composed just moments before, to her knees, her face deathly pale.

"I wouldn't dare! I wouldn't dare! If I have uttered a single lie, may I die a horrible death for all eternity!"

"Hehe, your opinion doesn't count."

Lu Cheng leaned back, his gaze silently looking down at the woman kneeling below, her fair cleavage barely concealed. He cursed inwardly, "So slutty," and subtly looked away.

"No matter where you hide, I will bring you back with the help of the Body Sect..."

Seeing that the intimidation had been effective, Lu Cheng didn't waste any words. He looked at Shangguan Wei'er with some nervousness, his tone even slightly hurried. "Do you have a woman under your command named Ye Guyi, around twenty years old, whose Martial Soul is Angel...?"

"Ye Guyi?"

Shangguan Wei'er looked surprised. After thinking carefully for a moment, she shook her head. "Young Sect Master, if someone possessed Angel Martial Soul, I would know about it. My Ordinary Alliance certainly doesn't have such a person."

"..."

Lu Cheng was somewhat disappointed and remained silent.

Shangguan Wei'er cautiously raised her head. "However, if the young sect leader wants this person, I can also use the alliance's resources and my connections in the Sun Moon Empire to search for him as much as possible."
