Reunited

Yu Tianshuang, still recovering from the discomfort caused by Xue Qinghe, was about to go to her teacher Shui Xinrou to tell her the good news that Bing'er Sister Bing'er and the others were on their way when Ye Lingling, who had just returned, called her back.

"Tianshuang, we're back!"

After saying that, the quiet and beautiful Ye Lingling ran towards Yu Tianshuang.

"You went too far. It took Hairou and me a lot of effort to heal him."

After speaking, he stood quietly in place, looking at Yu Tianshuang as if he were a little embarrassed and also wanted to be praised.

"I knew our Lingling was the best! She's truly the number one healing-type Soul Master on the continent! Awesome!"

He then ruffled Ye Lingling's hair affectionately.

"Senior Hairou, thank you too! Oh, by the way, I have some good news. Let's go find the teacher together."

After thanking Yu Hairou, Yu Tianshuang thought that since everyone was there, it would be easier to go and talk to her together.

The gentle and graceful Yu Hairou didn't speak, but simply tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled tenderly at Yu Tianshuang.

"Teacher, my grandfather just sent word that Senior Sister Bing'er and the other three are on their way to Spirit City, escorted by Sect Master Ning and His Majesty Bone Douluo. Judging by the time, they should arrive around dusk, at which point our Skywater Academy Team will be complete."

Upon hearing this, Shui Xinrou was overjoyed, and the worry on her face instantly disappeared.

"Great! You've come at just the right time. The second round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, the individual competition, starts tomorrow. I was at a loss, thinking you'd have to go on stage alone tomorrow, and your opponent is the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, one of the three top seeded teams. I didn't know what to do. Bing'er and the others are like a timely rain, it's really great."

Ning Rongrong and the other two girls were also overjoyed. After all, if Shui Bing'er and the other three hadn't come, the three of them, as Auxiliary System Soul Master, wouldn't have been of any help in the individual competition.

The Star Luo Royal Academy Team? Yu Tianshuang thought of that girl who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, sensitive and timid, and the family that bound her.

Zhu Zhuqing, if this is the fate you want to break free from, then I will face it with you.

After lunch, everyone chatted in the lobby while waiting for Shui Bing'er and the others to arrive.

Around dusk, the group sitting on the sofa in the hall heard Shui Yue'er's chattering voice outside the door.

"Oh dear, sisters, Zhu Zhuqing, Sister Xue Wu, hurry up! We haven't seen that idiot in so long, don't you miss him? I can't wait to see him. Do you think they'll be especially happy to see us later?"

Upon hearing this, the people in the hall exchanged smiles, Shui Xinrou immediately used her Soul Power to open the door.

Just then, Shui Bing'er Shui Yue'er, exclaimed in surprise. Looking through the open door, she saw several people in the hall staring at her with amused expressions. Her cute little face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment.

Upon seeing the four again, Yu Tianshuang felt as if she had been transported to another world. Looking at their familiar faces, memories of their past interactions kept flooding her mind.

"Hey, you idiot, aren't you happy to see us? You're just staring blankly, still so dull, really."

Looking at Yu Tianshuang's handsome face, with its sharp features, which she had longed for Shui Yue'er, Yu Tianshuang's eyes became slightly moist, and she said in a tone that was both reproachful and not reproachful.

Realizing what had happened, Yu Tianshuang quickly got up and went over to the three of them. Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Senior Sister, Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Sister Xue Wu, you've come. I..."

The atmosphere was somewhat delicate at this moment. After saying goodbye, the group looked at each other and a few unspoken emotions surfaced in their hearts.

"You've worked so hard all this time. It's good, you've grown taller, but a little thinner."

Shui Bing'er was the first to break the silence. Looking at the man who was more than half a head taller than her, the emotions of meeting again after being apart made her feel an irrepressible urge to throw herself into his arms.

"Waaah, you stupid idiot, you didn't say a word when you saw us, it made me so angry, waaaah."

Shui Yue'er threw herself into Yu Tianshuang's arms and said, choking back tears.

He patted Shui Yue'er's beautiful back to comfort her, his eyes also becoming a little moist.

Zhu Zhuqing was also a little emotional, but she, who was usually quiet, did not speak. However, she was also very envious of Shui Yue'er. She wanted to throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly, but then she felt a little lonely. She was so useless, and she wondered if he would dislike her.

"It seems our little boy has finally grown up. I heard you single-handedly eliminated Thunder Academy, who used secret techniques. That's amazing. It's a pity my essence was damaged, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to put so much pressure on you."

Xue Wu, who was like an older sister, also spoke up.

"Alright, how old are you? So many people are watching, don't you feel ashamed?"

Shui Yue'er pulled Shui Bing'er out of Yu Tianshuang's arms. Although she spoke in a cold and aloof tone, she was secretly jealous of her younger sister's unbridled behavior.

"Oh dear, you girls walk so fast, you don't even care about this Old Bones. Looks like your lover's charm is still great, haha."

At this moment, Bone Douluo Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi, who was leaning on a cane, also arrived in the hall.

A blush immediately spread across the three women's faces. Xue Wu smiled gently and caught up with the three women who had rushed into the hall to greet the others.

"Sect Master Ning, Grandpa Gu, thank you for escorting them here. Tianshuang expresses her gratitude."

He bowed respectfully to the two of them.

"Young friend, there's no need for that. You are Uncle Jian's grandson and a friend of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. This small favor is nothing to mention."

With a calm and collected demeanor, Ning Fengzhi Yu Tianshuang up, revealing a warm and gentle smile.

"That's right, little one, my Rongrong talks about you all the time. Helping you is helping my little princess, haha."

"Oh dear, Grandpa Bone, what are you saying? Really, I never talk about Brother Tianshuang every day."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was chatting with several girls, blushed and said in a coquettish voice.

After exchanging pleasantries and thanking the two again, the two, not intending to disturb them, took their leave.

Back in the hall, Yu Tianshuang sat on the sofa, watching the group chattering away. A warmth filled his heart. He was determined to protect this scene and prevent anyone from ruining it again.

"Alright, we can't finish talking, and it's getting late. I'll go over tomorrow's tactical arrangements and intelligence on our opponents. Everyone, get ready to rest; tomorrow will be a tough battle."

Seeing that the group had finished their conversation, Shui Xinrou checked the time and interrupted.

Everyone immediately stopped talking and sat up straight to look at Shui Xinrou.

"First, let me explain the format for tomorrow's competition. Tomorrow is the second round of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament finals. The second round will be an individual competition. Each of the two academy teams will send out one player for a 1v1 individual battle until one side concedes defeat or is unable to continue. During the competition, just like in the first round, the use of weapons and items other than one's own Martial Soul is not allowed. Of course, players who possess Soul Bone are allowed to use them."

After saying this, Shui Xinrou, who was holding a stack of documents, glanced at Yu Tianshuang.
