Qian Chen turned to look at Wang Dong and said, " Xiao Dong, give your Flying Soul Tool to Wu Feng. You were injured today, so go back to Sea God Island with your master's wife on my Seven Kill Sword."
"Yes, teacher." After Wang Dong finished speaking, he took out a level two Flying Soul Tool and handed it to Wu Feng. Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan reached out to support Wang Dong. Qian Chen's Seven Kill Sword also appeared next to Zhang Lexuan at the right time. After Zhang Lexuan gently helped Wang Dong onto the Seven Kill Sword, she stood on it herself.
Feeling Zhang Lexuan's meticulous care for her, and recalling Qian Chen's kindness to her since she became his disciple, Wang Dong thought about the scenes of her teacher and his wife together. She had never met her own parents, and unconsciously, she began to imagine: if her own parents were her teacher and his wife, that would be wonderful.
Wu Feng took the Flying Soul Tool and examined it closely, unsure of what to do. Qian Chen came to her side and explained it to her in detail. After a long while, Wu Feng finally mastered the basic operation of the Flying Soul Tool.
The six of them then headed to Sea God Island together. Upon arriving at Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan's residence on Sea God Island, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan were surprised to find that their place was now truly bustling with activity. Bing Ling had not only brought Ning Tian there herself, but Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochеn were also present.
Upon seeing Qian Chen return, Bing Ling, Ma Xiaotao, and Ling Luochеn all stood up and greeted Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan in unison, "Big brother, sister-in-law."
Feeling a little embarrassed by the many people calling her that, Zhang Lexuan said, "Please sit down, everyone. I'll go prepare some food and drinks for you."
At this moment, Qian Chen glanced at Wang Dong and saw that she was pale. He then said to Xiao Xiao, " Xiao Xiao, help Wang Dong upstairs to rest and take good care of him." Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, teacher." Then she helped Wang Dong upstairs.
At this moment, Qian Chen looked at Ning Tian, who was still lying down, and immediately went to her side, asking, " Ning Tian, how are you feeling?"
Looking at Qian Chen, who had golden hair and eyes and was extremely handsome, Ning Tian felt even more bitter. The task his family had given him was to get close to Qian Chen, make him like him, and finally bring him back to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. But now, not only did Qian Chen have a girlfriend named Zhang Lexuan who was both beautiful and talented, but Ning Tian himself had also injured his Sea of Consciousness, and he didn't know when he would recover.
Soul Master's cultivation period is before the age of twenty; every day wasted is a waste. And who knows when his Sea of Consciousness will be fully restored? Thinking of this, Ning Tian knew he would never complete the family's mission. He could only say, "Thank you, Dean Qian. I feel constantly dizzy; I can't get up, let alone stand."
Upon hearing Ning Tian's description, Wu Feng burst into tears, threw herself at Ning Tian's side, and cried, "Young Master, Young Master, how could this happen! What are you going to do!"
This situation filled Huo Yuhao with immense guilt. Knowing he couldn't avoid it any longer, he immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Ning Tian. My Martial Soul is the eye, a spiritual Martial Soul. Today, I launched a spiritual attack on you. It was because I was unskilled and started showing off, which injured you. I'm willing to take responsibility for you."
At this moment, Wu Feng roared, "So it was you! You're a real bastard! How can you take responsibility? What responsibility can you possibly take! Our young master is going to confront Dean Qian..."
Wu Feng glanced at Qian Chen and realized he might have gone too far, so he quickly stopped.
At this moment, Ma Xiaotao, who had been chatting with Ning Tian for a long time, couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up, pointed at Huo Yuhao, and scolded, "So it was you, Huo Yuhao, who ruined Ning Tian's life! What will Ning Tian do in the future? Who will take care of her for the rest of her life? Her happy and fulfilling life is gone just like that. Huo Yuhao, how will you compensate me?"
Seeing this, Ling Luochеn knew Ma Xiaotao had a fiery temper, but this wasn't the place for her to speak, so he quickly grabbed her and said, " Xiaotao, let's go help Grandmaster prepare." After saying that, he hurriedly pulled the bewildered Ma Xiaotao away.
Huo Yuhao also felt that Ma Xiaotao's words made sense, and mustered up his courage to say, " Ning Tian, it was my fault for hurting you like this. I am willing to take care of you from now on, to always be by your side to protect you, and to never let you suffer any more injury or injustice."
Huo Yuhao's words gave Qian Chen a sense of relief, like finding a new path after a long period of darkness. He had thought Huo Yuhao really had feelings for Zhu Lu, but Huo Yuhao had given up on them himself. He never expected that Huo Yuhao would be here, willing to dedicate his life to Ning Tian's injury.
Qian Chen wanted to laugh. He didn't know if Tang San was watching all this from the Divine Realm, or if he was frantic with worry. Tang San, of course, wasn't personally observing the Chosen One's situation. He was deeply in love with Xiao Wu and couldn't care less about anything else. Meanwhile, the god observing the lower realm was frantic with worry. He dared not report to Tang San and kept shouting, "It's over! It's over! I'm doomed!"
Wu Feng hurriedly said, "Even if my young master is crippled, he's not someone a level ten or so trash like you can get close to!"
Huo Yuhao wanted to retort, Qian Chen hurriedly said, " Wu Feng, what are you saying? Have you forgotten what I said today? Questioning whether Huo Yuhao is trash is questioning me. Do you want to go outside and spar with me now?"
Startled, Wu Feng quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.
Ning Tian glanced at Qian Chen, knowing that the task her family had entrusted to her was now completely impossible to complete. However, Ning Tian calmed down and asked, " Huo Yuhao, are you saying you want to become my partner and take care of me in the future?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Yes."
"I'm sorry, I don't need pity. Although my family has declined, there are still people who can take care of me for the rest of my life. Moreover, my partner must be a powerful Soul Master. So, Huo Yuhao, I appreciate your kindness." Ning Tian, with his own pride, refused Huo Yuhao's request.
Huo Yuhao said, " Ning Tian, don't rush to reject me. Although my strength is currently very weak, I possess the Body Martial Soul Spirit Eyes, which also has Mental Attribute. Give me a year, and I will prove myself to be a genius. Besides, I'm not showing you pity. Every battle you've fought on the Soul Fighting Arena has been so heroic and admirable. Moreover, Ning Tian, you are so beautiful. It would be my honor to take care of you and accompany you in the future."
Qian Chen gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up in his heart. He hadn't done anything, yet Huo Yuhao had completely disrupted Tang San San's plan to use Wang Dong to control Huo Yuhao.
At this moment, Wu Feng also remembered Qian Chen's words and whispered to Ning Tian, "Young Master, Dean Qian Chen did indeed say that Huo Yuhao would transform into a genius within a year."
Ning Tian closed her eyes, quickly weighing the pros and cons. She didn't necessarily have to marry Qian Chen; these were tasks imposed on her by her family to bring the inheritor of the Seven Kill Sword back to the sect. Now that Qian Chen had his lover, how could she become a third party, much less a Qian Chen for him?
At this point, I'm afraid I'll never be able to stand steadily again. Even if my father finds me a husband in the future, I'll be practically a cripple. What kind of husband could I possibly find? Soul Emperor or a Soul Saint? Ugly or even uglier? Who would care about my opinion then?
Ning Tian glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was the same age as him and quite good-looking. Ning Tian gritted his teeth; for his own sake and that of his father's lineage, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
(Due to some readers' dislike of Ning Tian, I'm specifically revealing that Ning Tian and Huo Yuhao are temporarily together so that Tang San can take action against the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.)
