38: Lingling fell in love at first sight?

Hotel, first floor restaurant.

The members of the Tian Dou Battle Team were seated in the restaurant.

"Where's Leng Leng?" Qin Ming frowned, looking at Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan who were walking over, arm in arm.

"I just checked, she's not in the room," Dugu Yan quickly replied, her eyes seeming to say she thought she was already here.

But as she said this, her face was clearly a little red. After all, she used to live with Ye Leng Leng, but now... she and Yu Tianheng have confirmed their relationship.

"Has anyone seen Leng Leng this morning?"

Qin Ming looked around at the others. Seeing everyone shake their heads, he felt a sense of unease.

"Uh..."

Oslo hesitated, raised his hand, and said, "...I think I saw Leng Leng go to the fourth floor yesterday. She was probably looking for that guy."

Swish—

Everyone's expressions froze.

That guy naturally referred to Su Ye.

Leng Leng looking for him was probably for that little golden mastiff.

It seems... she really likes it.

Thinking of this, Tian Heng and the others felt guilty and lost face.

Ye Leng Leng was the only healing Soul Master in their team. She had always quietly helped the entire team and never made any demands.

As a result,

They couldn't even handle getting a pet, and had to let this weak woman step forward.

As soon as Oslo said this, it instantly ignited Qin Ming's powder keg.

"Alright, alright, you've all forgotten what I usually tell you, haven't you?!"

Bang—!

Qin Ming's face was ashen. His large palm slammed the table, making it shake. He glared angrily at Oslo and Dugu Yan, especially the latter.

"Leng Leng is an auxiliary Soul Master in the team. Her ability to deal with sudden danger is basically zero. I've repeatedly ordered you to look after her well."

"A girl didn't come back all night, and as teammates, you're only realizing this now? Is this how you usually look after her?!"

The atmosphere instantly became dead silent.

"This..."

Everyone clearly realized the seriousness of the matter and were too scared to speak.

Especially Dugu Yan and Oslo, who lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look at anyone.

"I'll go find her!"

Yu Tianheng spoke heavily, preparing to go upstairs to Su Ye's room to check, his eyes ferocious as if he wanted to eat someone.

If Su Ye dared to do anything worse than a pig or dog, he would never forgive him.

Shi Mo and the others also wanted to go, but before they had walked two steps, they were called back by Qin Ming.

"Come back!"

"Teacher Qin Ming...?"

Qin Ming's sharp words pierced their hearts, "What use is it for you to go now? Going to look at Leng Leng's joke?"

"As the captain, don't you understand Leng Leng's personality?"

"If something really happened, you going now is forcing her to die!"

Yu Tianheng's heart trembled, and he quickly stopped his steps.

Although Ye Leng Leng was quiet and always acted like a little transparent in the inconspicuous parts of the team, her strong will was definitely no weaker than his, the captain's.

If she was really bullied, with her personality, she could do anything.

"Teacher Qin Ming, what should we do now?"

Yu Tianheng returned, full of worry. Since they couldn't go look, they couldn't do nothing either.

If Leng Leng really had any misfortune, then they would be the biggest sinners.

Qin Ming waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down and calm down first.

But their hearts were so anxious they were jumping up and down, they had no mood to sit down and were eager to know how to handle this matter.

"Given that guy's character, he shouldn't do such a thing."

"The situation we're guessing is just the worst-case scenario."

With a heavy sigh, Qin Ming's face flickered between light and dark. He could only pray it wasn't that situation, then everything would be acceptable.

"Everyone, don't panic yet. Leng Leng isn't a child anymore, she has her own judgment."

"She didn't come back all night, either because she likes that little golden mastiff too much and couldn't bear to leave."

"Or she's taken a liking to someone. Although the possibility of this situation is relatively small, it's not completely impossible."

As he spoke, Qin Ming couldn't help but laugh in exasperation himself, a subtle expression appearing on his face. He thought to himself, it's best if that's the case.

Taken a liking?

Leng Leng has taken a liking to that guy?

Uh, this...

Yu Tianheng and the others' expressions froze for a moment, suspecting that Qin Ming was trying to lighten the mood.

"Teacher Qin Ming, are you serious? Leng Leng only met Su Ye yesterday, how could she like him?"

"Exactly, with Leng Leng's cold personality, how could she suddenly like someone?"

"Damn, she likes him because of a pet? That's too hasty! Maybe I should raise a few wolf mastiffs someday and try."

"..."

The few of them spoke one after another, rolling their eyes at Qin Ming.

Clearly, they didn't believe that "love at first sight" would happen to Ye Leng Leng.

Qin Ming wasn't angry. With a hint of expectation in his eyes, he slowly said:

"Nothing is absolute in this world, I'm just speculating."

"Honestly, if that were the case, it might even be a great thing."

Pausing his tone, Qin Ming continued with a half-smile, "As an auxiliary Soul Master, Leng Leng's preferred future partner is a strong attack type battle Soul Master. Su Ye's strength is obvious to everyone."

"With a partner, under the nourishment of love and the companionship of a pet, perhaps she can escape from her nightmare. Otherwise, if she continues like this, she will break down sooner or later."

"With him added to our Tian Dou Battle Team, in the finals of the Soul Master Tournament, we can increase our chances of winning the championship by at least thirty percent."

His voice was steady and powerful.

Thirty percent?

Dugu Yan and the others were greatly startled. They didn't expect Qin Ming to value Su Ye so highly.

But thinking of that guy's strength, they all silently agreed.

The Heaven Dou Empire hadn't won the Soul Master Tournament championship for many years and was almost a joke in the Soul Master world.

Although their team's strength was not bad, when it came to the hope of winning the championship, they could only see at most one or two percent.

Emmm, it seems that if the two of them truly liked each other, it would indeed be a good outcome for everyone.

Hotel, fourth floor.

After breakfast, the messy table was quickly cleaned up by the waiter.

Considering that he was busy with things recently and couldn't take care of Jinbao, Su Ye allowed Ye Leng Leng to come over and play with it.

"Jinbao is a Soul Beast, and a rare high-bloodline Soul Beast at that. If you like it and want to play with it, I have no objection."

"But you must remember, you are limited to this room. If something happens outside, you cannot bear the responsibility!"

Su Ye's tone was calm, but the coldness in his eyes was like a chilling wind, clearly a warning.

Ye Leng Leng not only wasn't angry, but a faint smile hung on her lips.

She hugged Jinbao, her big, bright eyes full of doting, as if looking at her own child.

"Don't worry, I'll look after it. Although you are its owner, compared to you, I don't want it to get hurt more."

"This little guy got so dirty just from eating. Come on, Lingbao, I'll take you to wash up."

Saying that, Ye Leng Leng hugged Jinbao and went to the bathroom, not even bothering to look at Su Ye.

Su Ye chuckled, too lazy to care about such trivial matters, and continued to organize the essentials of the Eight Extremities Fist.

Suddenly,

He seemed to recall something. With his bottom line stepped on, he raised his head and shouted righteously towards the bathroom:

"Hey, don't change my name!"

"What Lingbao? It's like a weapon! Jinbao is better, it brings wealth and good luck!"

In the bathroom, Ye Leng Leng didn't react at all. Only Jinbao's happy puppy sounds were heard calling out.

"..."
