First Meeting with Ye Lingling
After dismissing the group of curious students, Su Tianyu got up and left the classroom.
Enjoying the scenery of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy campus, he strolled to the library. Su Tianyu planned to visit the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Library, hoping to find some books that recorded rare and precious bloodlines of Soul Beast. He hoped the library wouldn't disappoint him this time, after all, it was the largest advanced Soul Master Academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, and it must have a lot of books about Soul Beast.
Pushing open the door, Su Tianyu found that there weren't many students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the library. The enormous library only had a handful of people. He searched along the rows of bookshelves. The top of the bookshelves was filled with books of many categories, including knowledge about Soul Beast, herbs, combat, and all sorts of other complicated books.
"Not bad, as expected of the number one advanced Soul Master Academy in the entire Heaven Dou Empire. After all, it represents the face of the Heaven Dou royal family, and it has all the necessary facilities."
Su Tianyu looked at the rows of bookshelves in front of him, neatly arranged with a complete range of books. The various types of knowledge in the books had been categorized by the teachers of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so that every student who came to the academy library could find the book they wanted to read at a glance.
Arriving at the herbal section's bookshelf area, Su Tianyu casually picked up a book called "The Complete Book of Herbs" from the shelf and stood beside it to examine it carefully.
"Junior, are you also interested in identifying medicinal herbs?"
Su Tianyu had been looking at the herbal books for a short while when a soft, melodious, and charming voice came from beside him. Su Tianyu turned his head and saw a young girl in a gorgeous blue dress standing next to him.
"It's Ye Lingling. I didn't expect her to come to the library to read books. She must be looking up ancient texts to solve her Martial Soul problem."
A glint of light flashed in Su Tianyu's eyes. He smiled slightly at Ye Lingling and then asked, "Senior, you're also here to read in the library? This vast and empty library is rarely used by anyone. Most students have the relevant books at home, so they don't need to come to the college library to look up information."
"Only a commoner like me, a Soul Master, would come to the library to read books and fill in the gaps in my knowledge of Soul Beast and other books. Given your background, senior, there's no need for you to come to the academy library to look up information, is there?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling simply nodded without answering Su Tianyu's question. Instead, she walked to the bookshelf next to him, took out a book, and began to read.
Seeing that Ye Lingling didn't answer him, Su Tianyu Tianyu's face showed a hint of embarrassment. However, he wasn't one to press his advantage, so he pretended not to notice and continued reading the book in his hands.
And so, the two maintained a short distance, each quietly engrossed in their own book, without disturbing the other.
Before long, Su Tianyu finished reading the contents of the book in his hand. He casually put the book back in its original place, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the title of the book in Ye Lingling's hand. It was a book that recorded the introduction of auxiliary Martial Soul.
Su Tianyu found Ye Lingling's focused and attentive reading quite captivating. Noticing the transparent white mask covering her face, Ye Lingling Su Tianyu if wearing it every day might be affecting her.
Reading books versus watching the road?
He pretended not to know that Ye Lingling's Martial Soul was the Nine-Heart Sea Hall support-type Martial Soul, and asked curiously, "Senior's Martial Soul is a healing support-type Martial Soul? It's useless for you to look at other support-type Soul Master Martial Soul. Every Soul Master has their own path to take. The contents of books are just the Soul Skill and Soul Ring choices recorded by those who came before them. Just take them as suggestions. You still have to look at your own Martial Soul attributes to choose the Soul Ring combination. Relying on the opinions left by predecessors may not be suitable for you."
Ye Lingling put down her book, turned her head to look at Su Tianyu, her eyes full of questions. She didn't know why this junior was disturbing her reading. However, she didn't mind, since what the junior said was just the truth.
Ye Lingling thought for a moment, then replied, "Senior, my Martial Soul is a support/healing type. Junior, you guessed correctly. However, the problems and troubles I'm facing are beyond your comprehension. Even if I explained, you wouldn't understand. After all, this is a problem that even my family can't solve. I've been trying to break the problem that's been troubling my family, but after reviewing all the books and knowledge about support-type Martial Soul, I still haven't been able to find a solution."
Perhaps this problem will continue to plague our family. My family's Martial Soul was punished by heaven because its healing effects were too good, leading to a dwindling family population, even to the point of near extinction. I have truly tried my best, but I still haven't found an explanation for the problem that plagues our family's Martial Soul."
After hearing Ye Lingling's answer, Su Tianyu pondered deeply, reviewing the appearance of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well Immortal Herb in his mind again and again. He realized that only the "Lovesick Heartbreak Red Longing," known as the King of Immortal Herb, could solve Ye Lingling's Martial Soul Martial Soul problem.
However, he couldn't solve Ye Lingling's Martial Soul problem right now. They were just ordinary classmates. Even if they developed into a romantic relationship, he would have to carefully screen the people in her family. What if he helped Ye Lingling explain her Martial Soul problem and she impulsively went to her family to confess? Would he, Su Tianyu, ever be able to live a peaceful life after that?
Setting aside the jumbled thoughts swirling in his mind, Su Tianyu could only sigh softly and comfort Ye Lingling, "Senior, believe that good fortune will always be with you. Your Martial Soul problem will be resolved sooner or later. The most important thing for you now is to stay happy every day and diligently cultivate your Soul Power. If you advance to Soul Saint, this Martial Soul problem will naturally disappear."
"Junior, I know you're trying to comfort me, but if only my family's Martial Soul problem could be solved after I advance to Soul Saint, it's a pity that such a naive idea didn't come true."
Ye Lingling was secretly heartbroken behind her mask, her brows furrowed, her pretty face pouting, and she almost burst into tears.
She fought back the tears welling up in her eyes, said goodbye to Su Tianyu, and turned to leave the library.
Watching Ye Lingling's departing figure, Su Tianyu smiled helplessly. He had stirred up deep pain in Ye Lingling's heart, almost making this beautiful girl cry. Fortunately, he did not choose to continue asking.
