154: Chapter 154 Qian Renxue's heart flutters, she finds Ye Lingling

In the evening, shortly after dinner, Qian Renxue took the initiative to cross the Crown Prince's Mansion and find Su Ling.

In the backyard of Su Ling's residence, the two sat at a stone table, chatting while sipping tea and eating snacks.

"Su Ling, I have fulfilled my mission; your Family members are all safe," Qian Renxue said, looking at Su Ling with a smile.

"Thank you, Big Brother!" Su Ling immediately stood up and bowed to her.

"Sigh... there is no need for such formalities between us brothers," Qian Renxue quickly came over to pull Su Ling up, then let out a sigh.

"Big Brother, why do you sigh?" Su Ling asked immediately.

Qian Renxue said, "Su Ling, you should know about the matter between Ye Lingling and me. I... I truly didn't intend for it to happen; it was all the Emperor's decree."

"Big Brother, I already know. This is not your fault!" Su Ling replied.

"But Big Brother, do you know where Ye Lingling went after leaving Heaven Dou City?"

Qian Renxue had many informants, and Su Ling believed she must know something about Ye Lingling's whereabouts.

However, this time Qian Renxue said with some regret: "Su Ling, I am not clear about Ye Lingling's whereabouts either."

"Since Ye Lingling has left, what will happen to your wedding, Big Brother? And if Ye Lingling has fled, what will happen to the Ye Family?" Su Ling asked.

Qian Renxue said: "They will certainly be punished. However, the Ye Family's Spirit is special and indispensable to our Heaven Dou Empire, so the punishment shouldn't be too severe. I will speak to the Emperor; the punishment will just be a formality."

Actually, it would be simple for Qian Renxue to find Ye Lingling—she could just have someone publicize that the punishment for the Ye Family would be increased.

Given Ye Lingling's kindness, she would likely choose to return. Obviously, Qian Renxue did not want Ye Lingling to return, so she would minimize the punishment on Ye Lingling's Family as much as possible.

"Su Ling, where have you been all this time? I feel like you've become much stronger; I can't even see through you anymore," Qian Renxue looked at Su Ling carefully.

Su Ling said: "I went to Slaughter City! My Soul Power has also increased to over level eighty."

"What?"

"You... you went to Slaughter City and reached over level eighty? You're not even twenty-five yet, right? Twenty-four!" Qian Renxue was astonished again.

Whether it was the experience in Slaughter City or reaching the level of a Spirit Douluo at this age, both were astonishing feats.

After all, Qian Renxue also knew about Slaughter City; it was very difficult to come out of there. In a thousand years, only a few had managed it, yet Su Ling had come out in just one year. That was simply incredible.

Su Ling said: "Big Brother, I was just lucky, I had a small Opportunity."

"Su Ling, now that you've reached the level of a Spirit Douluo, what are your plans for the future? Do you still intend to go out and Cultivate?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Staying at home makes it hard to improve. Only by going out to Cultivate can one have the chance to achieve greater progress."

"Is that so?" Qian Renxue also wanted to go out and Cultivate, instead of being trapped within Heaven Dou City. Even if she had the chance to go out, she would be surrounded by a group of people.

She envied Su Ling for living so freely.

"If you wish, Big Brother, you can come out to Cultivate with me," Su Ling said.

Qian Renxue revealed a bitter smile and said: "I'll pass. The Emperor's health is getting worse by the day, so I can't leave."

Su Ling knew that Qian Renxue was about to start her plan to let Emperor Xue Ye pass away.

Once Emperor Xue Ye died, she would be the only one to inherit the throne, provided there were no accidents.

At this time, Su Ling thought there shouldn't be any.

Even if someone helped Xue Beng, his influence was not as strong as in the original story; his Support was much less.

"Then Big Brother should indeed not leave Heaven Dou City!" Su Ling said.

"Su Ling, where do you plan to go for cultivation this time?" Qian Renxue continued to ask.

"Sea God Island!"

"Go to Sea God Island?"

"I've heard of that place; it's said to be quite dangerous. Are you sure you want to go?" Qian Renxue asked, looking concerned for Su Ling.

"It's alright, it shouldn't be as difficult as Slaughter City," Su Ling said.

"You can rest assured and go Cultivate. I will help you take care of things here; I definitely won't let anything happen to them," Qian Renxue said.

Su Ling smiled and said: "That won't be necessary this time. I plan to take everyone with me to Cultivate."

"Go Cultivate together? I really envy you." Qian Renxue grew more melancholy as she spoke.

Fortunately, thinking that her years of effort were coming to an end, she didn't feel as sad; her hard work would be rewarded.

"It's a shame Big Brother can't go! But after this cultivation trip, I shouldn't be leaving so frequently. If you need my help in the future, I, Su Ling, will definitely not refuse, even if it means standing against Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire," Su Ling said.

"Thank you, Su Ling, my good brother," Qian Renxue smiled. In her eyes, Su Ling was still under her control. After all, Su Ling valued relationships and loyalty, and since she had done so much for him, there should be some return.

At this moment, the more Qian Renxue looked at Su Ling, the more pleasing he appeared, and her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated.

How did he become even better-looking than before after returning this time?

It wasn't that Su Ling had changed much, but rather the effect of Hu Liena's Charm skill, which increased Charm by 100%, was influencing Qian Renxue bit by bit. This was a positive feedback loop.

[Ding... Qian Renxue's favorability +2, obtained Purple Treasure Chest *1, Black Treasure Chest *1]

Eh, Qian Renxue's favorability increased?

It seems she might be moved.

Su Ling moved closer without speaking, and he could feel Qian Renxue's breathing becoming a bit rapid.

Indeed, Qian Renxue was feeling moved at this moment.

However, Su Ling did not speak, nor did he intentionally break this rare atmosphere.

However, Qian Renxue's composure was still very strong; she returned to normal after just a while.

"Su Ling, it's getting late, I should head back," Qian Renxue said.

Qian Renxue's gaze avoided Su Ling; she was afraid that continuing to look at him would cause her to be bewitched.

Damn it, why does Su Ling have such a big influence on me after returning this time?

Did he use some kind of Charm-type skill?

But he didn't have any skills in that area.

"Big Brother, have a drink before you go. I'll take you to a place," Su Ling said.

"No, no, I remember I have an important matter to handle. Let's drink again in two days," Qian Renxue said.

After speaking, Qian Renxue actually ran away!

Su Ling was speechless. Actually, he had planned to find Qian Renxue tonight to expose her identity, but what happened?

Qian Renxue just ran away!

Actually, at this stage, it would be better to clarify things between them; expressing his stance of supporting her should also be able to farm some favorability.

Alas, she ran away, and Su Ling could only wait for the next Opportunity.

After Qian Renxue left, Su Ling returned to his room.

But tonight, with so many goddesses here, who should he choose?

Either find them all and distribute his favors equally, or find none.

Forget it, let's have a quiet night.

But when Su Ling pushed open the door, he found someone was already waiting for him inside.

Wasn't this Zhu Zhuxin?

"Zhu Xin, why are you here!" Su Ling said in surprise.

"Brother Su, we thought you would return very late. It's rare for you to return tonight, so we sisters decided to surprise you."

Sigh... this night won't be quiet either.

[Ding... Host had an intimate interaction with Zhu Zhuxin, obtained Purple Treasure Chest *1]

[Ding... Host had an intimate interaction with Jiang Zhu, obtained Purple Treasure Chest *1]

[Ding... Host had an intimate interaction with Feng Yuer, obtained Black Treasure Chest *1]

Waking up in the morning, Su Ling felt like he had been punished last night.

With three people, Su Ling had obtained a total of six treasure chests, four purple and two black, over the first and second half of the night.

This morning, Yang Qingyu spoke to Su Ling, and then left to bring Bai Chenxiang over.

Su Ling definitely had to bring Bai Chenxiang over to farm favorability.

Even if the Speed Clan might still rely on Tang San, Su Ling definitely wanted Bai Chenxiang.

That skill to accelerate arrows at the end was simply too good.

Currently, Bai Chenxiang's favorability was at ninety-five, and it could be increased two more times.

Thinking of this, Su Ling almost forgot one person: Tang San!

Tang San should have left a few days before he went to Slaughter City, and in the original story, Tang San spent about a year in the Moon Pavilion to control his Killing Intent.

At this time, Tang San was very likely in the Moon Pavilion.

Nothing to say, must take him down.

But after breakfast, Ning Rongrong invited him to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School together!

Su Ling didn't want to miss this Opportunity, so he discussed with Ning Rongrong to depart after noon.

Walking alone on the street towards the Moon Pavilion, as he neared the Moon Pavilion, the System's voice suddenly sounded again.

[Ding... Detected a goddess with a comprehensive value over 90 within 500 meters of the host!]

[Goddess: Tang Yuehua]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 90]

[Binding Requirement: Favorability over 60]

[Current Favorability: Unknown]

Seeing the System information, Su Ling was amazed.

Tang Yuehua is not a Spirit Master, yet she can actually have a comprehensive value of 90. That is truly impressive; she has some real strength.

The Goddess comprehensive value is based on comprehensive conditions such as talent and appearance.

Tang Yuehua cannot become a Spirit Master; her Spirit is the Noble Ring, which comes with a Domain, but unfortunately, she cannot Cultivate.

However, just by relying on her appearance and temperament to achieve a comprehensive value of 90, she definitely cannot be underestimated.

Walking along the way, Su Ling also released his powerful Mental Energy to begin exploring the situation inside.

Figure after figure appeared before Su Ling, including the beautiful and moving Tang Yuehua. Her appearance and temperament are truly unparalleled; combining these two, she could definitely reach 98. It is just a pity that her inability to Cultivate lowers her Goddess comprehensive value.

Compared to Tang Yuehua, the other noble women can only be described as too ordinary.

In fact, these noble women were already ordinary to begin with. They either lacked Spirit Master talent, or their talent was so low that they could not go far on the path of a Spirit Master, so they chose to come here.

Anyone with good talent would not come to Moon Pavilion to study.

Tang San?

That dog, he is actually not here.

I still came a bit late and missed him.

Forget it, I should just go back first.

Su Ling started walking back again, but just as he turned to leave, a person wearing beggar clothes bumped into him.

"You are, Lingling!"

Su Ling really did not expect to meet Ye Lingling here. It seems Qian Renxue was right; she probably does not know Ye Lingling's whereabouts.

"Brother Su, you have finally returned." Ye Lingling's voice carried a crying tone, as if she had suffered a great grievance.

Su Ling said, "Lingling, it is okay. I have returned, haven't I? With me here, everything will be fine."

[Ding... Ye Lingling Favorability +2, obtained Black Treasure Chest *2]

[Ding... Ye Lingling Favorability is greater than or equal to 96]

[Bound Goddess: Ye Lingling]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 96]

[Favorability: 96 (Will never betray, willing to sacrifice everything for you)]

[Binding Effect: The Host can obtain 50% of the Bound Goddess's daily Cultivate effect, without reducing the Bound Goddess's Cultivate speed.]

[Bound Skill 1: Healing (Active skill, can use 60% of Ye Lingling's current strongest healing ability)]

[Bound Skill 2: Soul Power Recovery (Active skill, when Soul Power is consumed, it can recover to 40% of the total Soul Power in its prime at once. Skill cooldown: 30 minutes)]

[Bound Skill 3: Perception (When Ye Lingling encounters danger within two thousand meters of the Host, the Host can perceive her location immediately)]

[Bound Skill 4: Fusion (Exerting Martial Soul Fusion Skill by merging into the Host's body, can be stacked with other Goddesses)]

Ye Lingling, successfully handled.

"Lingling, follow me!" Su Ling said.

"Mm!"

Half an hour later, Su Ling brought Ye Lingling to an empty alley, and then Su Ling took out a High-Level Protection Array and set it up.

"Lingling, it is safe here." Su Ling said.

At this moment, Ye Lingling finally took off the layer of beggar clothes she was wearing on the outside.

"Brother Su! I... I don't want to marry the Crown Prince. I... I want to be by your side." Ye Lingling said while crying.

Su Ling also went up and hugged Ye Lingling, then said, "Lingling, don't worry. Since you don't want to, then you won't marry him; just stay by my side."

"But I am worried about my parents and my Family. If I leave, I will definitely implicate the Family, and perhaps there will even be... a crisis of annihilation." Ye Lingling said.

"So this is the reason you have been staying in Heaven Dou City?" Su Ling said.

Ye Lingling said, "On one hand, I was waiting for you to return, Brother Su. On the other hand, I wanted to see how the Heaven Dou Empire royal Family would deal with my Family. If the Family suffers a great disaster, I..."

Speaking of this, Ye Lingling stopped talking; the meaning was very obvious.

"Alright Lingling, don't worry. I found the Crown Prince last night, and he also said that regarding your escape and your Family, it will be handled with leniency. It will not harm your Family; at most, it will just be a loss of some wealth. Externally, it is just symbolic, you know." Su Ling said.

"Is that so? That is great! Thank you, Brother Su." Ye Lingling said. She naturally assumed that everything was something Su Ling had fought for on her behalf.

[Ding... Ye Lingling Favorability +2, obtained Black Treasure Chest *1, Red Treasure Chest *1]

"Lingling, what do you plan to do in the future?" Su Ling continued to ask.

"I... I will listen to your arrangements, Brother Su."

Su Ling thought for a moment and said, "I will take you to Shrek Academy and have you stay there for the time being. When the time comes, I will use this Formation again, and no one will be able to find you."

"A month later, I will also take everyone, including you, out for training. By then, you won't have to hide like this."

"Mm, thank you, Brother Su." Ye Lingling said.

At this time, Ye Lingling's favorability had already reached 98 points; it could be considered that she had been successfully handled.

Taking Ye Lingling, Su Ling observed the way, and even used the Teleportation skill to bring her to the back mountain of Shrek Academy.

Bringing Ye Lingling along, he naturally let her live near Liu Erlong.

Finding a relatively good location, Su Ling set up the Formation.

"Lingling, just treat this as retreating here, and wait for me for some time." Su Ling said.

Ye Lingling nodded obediently. Su Ling left behind food and drink, as well as daily necessities, and of course, the Elementary Spirit Ascension Pill used for Cultivate.

Now Ye Lingling is at level 52 Soul Power, which is just right for taking it. In this month or so, plus the assistance of the Medicinal Pill, it is possible to reach level 54 or even level 55.

"Thank you, Brother Su!" Ye Lingling said again.

"Rest well here, don't have any psychological burden, I will come to see you every few days." Su Ling said.

Hearing Su Ling say this, Ye Lingling smiled, smiled very happily, and also felt some anticipation in her heart.

"Lingling, today I still have to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I have to leave first."

"Brother Su, go ahead and get busy, don't worry about me." Ye Lingling said.

Watching Su Ling walk out, Ye Lingling was very moved, thinking to herself that Brother Su really did not disappoint her.

This place is more than three hundred meters away from Liu Erlong's small courtyard, and before long, Su Ling arrived in front of Liu Erlong's courtyard gate.

"Sister Liu, I am here."

"Su Ling, it has only been a day since we parted, do you miss me already? Come in quickly." At this time, Liu Erlong was also somewhat expectant.

After entering, the dry wood and raging fire were ignited first. One was willing, and the other was also unwilling to give up the Opportunity to increase treasure chests.

[Ding... The Host completed an interaction with Liu Erlong once, congratulations to the Host for obtaining Black Treasure Chest *1]

"Su Ling, why are you getting up so hurriedly?" Liu Erlong seemed to be unsatisfied.

Su Ling said, "I still have to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and besides, there is a serious matter I need to tell you, which concerns the life and death of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

"What, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will be in danger? What kind of danger is it exactly?" Liu Erlong continued to ask.

"Not just you, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the same." Su Ling said with a serious face.

"Su Ling, you can't joke about this. In this World, who else could deal with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Liu Erlong asked with a confused face.

Su Ling said, "Spirit Hall. And this time might happen within a year. Actually, this is not the most critical part. The key is that your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect already has someone who has defected to Spirit Hall, and this person is very likely your Yu Luomian."

"It is him? Why is it him?" Liu Erlong said in surprise. If it were someone else saying that Yu Luomian had defected to Spirit Hall, she would not believe it, but since Su Ling said it, she had to seriously consider it.

"I am not clear about this. You can investigate secretly when you return, but you absolutely must not make a big fuss about it, nor should you confront him directly to avoid alerting the enemy."

"If Spirit Hall makes a move, they might send many experts, perhaps even several Titled Douluo. Sister Liu, you can return recently to inform the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and let him prepare secretly to see if he can survive this crisis."

"Alright, I will pack up immediately and return to the Sect." Liu Erlong said.

"Okay, then I will also go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Su Ling also went out immediately and returned home with the fastest speed.

Ning Rongrong, who was at home, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Su Ling had finally returned, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Su, can we go now?"

"Let's go! Rongrong, do you want us to Fusion? If I fly over, the speed will be faster." Su Ling suggested.

"Of course you can. Going over at this time, with your speed, Brother Su, we can still make it in time for lunch." Ning Rongrong said with an excited face.

The two performed Fusion, and Su Ling then released a pair of wings and flew towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at an extremely fast speed.
