Douluo: Junior Junior Sister of Sword Sect became a saint in Wuhun Hall

Chapter 386 That day will come
It is because emotional matters cannot be forced, and anything can happen.

No one will voluntarily give up what they love, let alone a choice made under the helplessness of reality.

Su Yingchu's meaning is very clear, she can't give up her love, let alone control her love for Ye Yujing.

There is a kind of love called longing, and there is also a kind of feeling called affection.

Qingluan Douluo wants her to give up this relationship, not to affect her life because of this relationship.

She has done enough for Ye Yujing.

Ye Ling'an looked at them with extremely surprised eyes, not quite understanding their thoughts.

Perhaps this is the idea among the elders.

"You and Ye Yujing have a good daughter."

Qingluan Douluo looked at Ye Ling'an with deep eyes, and said, "I reached Contra before the age of 30, which is earlier than you and Ye Yujing."

"Back when Ye Yujing became a Titled Douluo in his 40s, his talent was not much different from Bibi Dong's. You must know that before Ye Yujing, Bibi Dong was known as the number one genius soul master in the whole continent. He became a titled Douluo in his 40s. Douluo, Ye Yujing is also a year later than Bibidong. This kind of talent is indeed worthy of you, so your love will not be hindered, but heaven is jealous of talents... the good times don't last long, but your daughter is more beautiful than you Excellent, continue your talent, and accomplish what you haven't done."

Qingluan Douluo's blue eyes were full of complex emotions, "You and I both know what it means for a god-level powerhouse to appear in the Wuhun Temple."

"Sea God Island, Clear Sky School, and the two great empires are not our hindrances, and our Spirit Hall will definitely become the most powerful force in the entire continent."

"I see a bright future in her."

Qingluan Douluo's voice was full of excitement.A future god-level powerhouse was born in front of his eyes, and he was naturally very touched.

Personal experience is different.

"Then let's wait until Ling An returns from the extreme north." Su Yingchu said in a flat tone, "As uncle said, no matter how long we have to wait. There has not been a god-level strongman in the entire continent for ten thousand years." Or, the future of our Spirit Hall depends on these children."

To measure the strength of a power depends on the talent of its younger generation.The more powerful the power is, the level of its successor must reach the top level of the mainland, so that this power can stand upright.

"I know." Su Yingchu's eyes fell on Ye Ling'an instantly, "We cannot deny that these children are all in Ling'an's favor. Otherwise, how could they find the place where the gods are inherited?"

"My mother is also a top level 98 powerhouse, and she once threatened to become a god, so as to save my father from the pain caused by the mutation of the martial soul, but she spent a hundred years, but she could only I watched my father die in my arms, and since then I have lost all fighting spirit and all courage, and the last hundred years of hard work have been in vain, and a hundred years of love is just to commemorate an unimaginable dream."

Su Yingchu never concealed her thoughts, and said Ye Lingan's contribution, she just wanted Wuhundian to always remember what Ye Lingan did, and not forget her dedication.

Su Yingchu is also a descendant of Titled Douluo.Although her father is not a Titled Douluo, her mother is a Titled Douluo.They love each other very much, but Su Yingchu's father suffers from the mutation of Wuhun, so he can live so long because of the treasures provided by Wuhun Temple.

However, people always have life and death.

Thousands of families in Wuhundian have worked hard for a long time, but no one has ever explored the road to becoming a god, which shows how difficult it is to become a god.

It wasn't because of Ye Ling'an's contribution, the young people of Wuhundian's generation would be even less likely to touch the inheritance of the gods, let alone qualify for the Nine Trials of the Gods.

This kindness deserves to be engraved in the hearts of generations of Wuhundian people.

"It's natural." Guangling Douluo said, with a bit of seriousness in his innocent voice, "No one can erase her achievements."

"I said before that this group of children is the legitimate golden generation of the Wuhun Temple."

"Countless people have been groping for a lifetime but can't take a step forward, but they can break through this step and become the heirs of the gods."

"This is their luck, and it is also the most glorious generation of Spirit Hall. I believe that given them enough time, our Spirit Hall will become different. Dominating the entire continent is an inevitable process."

Guangling Douluo lowered his voice, and they did not hide their conversation from Ye Lingan.None of the people present regarded Ye Lingan as an outsider, nor did they feel that Ye Lingan was not qualified to participate in these conversations, it was simply that Ye Lingan did not speak.

The elders were talking about the development of Wuhundian, as a junior, she just listened, this was to give them respect.

"The inevitable process also requires blood to complete."

Su Yingchu shook her head, a cold look appeared on her beautiful and gentle face, "When will we be able to fight Haotianzong?"

"I've been waiting for this day for more than 20 years."

"Ever since Yujing died, I have been fantasizing about this day. No one knows whether Tang Chen is still alive, but the strength of Haotianzong is far inferior to Wuhundian. As long as Wuhundian has that idea, Haotianzong What is it?"

If that day really comes, Su Yingchu will definitely be the first to make a move.There is no other reason, she wants to avenge Ye Yujing.

The hatred between Wuhundian and Haotianzong should have been settled long ago.

No one wants Haotianzong to be wiped out more than she does.

On the day Ye Yujing died, her heart was already dead.

"I've said it all, now is not the time, I know you are in a hurry." Qingluan Douluo paused, "When that day really comes, I will definitely help you."

"And I."

"Yingchu, is our five or sixty years of friendship just a joke?"

Guangling Douluo also spoke, expressing his opinion.

These old guys have stayed in Wuhundian for decades, it's time to show their abilities.

"Of course I understand what you're thinking."

The expression on Su Yingchu's face softened, "I believe that day will not be slow."

Sooner or later, Wuhundian will tear itself apart from the two empires, launch a war against the two empires, and face the Haotianzong at the same time.

Because once the two great empires and the Clear Sky School join forces, it will be the Spirit Hall who will suffer at that time.In order to prevent such things from happening, Wuhundian will act in advance.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Overlord School are living examples.

"I am very happy today."

Su Yingchu smiled slightly, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face, "Shall I invite you to eat?"

"Or should I cook with my own hands for you to eat?"

Su Yingchu doesn't care about this, it depends on how Guangling Douluo and Qingluan Douluo choose.

Hearing this, both Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo looked at Ye Ling'an.

Qingluan Douluo said hesitantly, "Um...Yingchu, can you cook?"

"I'm afraid of death."

Even Qingluan Douluo was shocked, which shows how terrifying Su Yingchu's food is to him.

Guangling Douluo's pupils contracted slightly, but he didn't speak out, obviously he thought the same as Qingluan Douluo.

Are the meals Su Yingchu made edible?
Is this an inappropriate internal injury?

External injuries can be healed, but internal injuries are not necessarily.

These big bastards prefer external injuries to internal injuries.The faster the treatment of external injuries, the less likely it is for internal injuries.

In the eyes of Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo, Su Yingchu's meal is like a life-threatening artifact.

Others ask for money to cook, but Su Yingchu cooks for her life!
Hearing this, Su Yingchu's expression became complicated. She looked at Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo with angry eyes, "Is my cooking unpalatable? You use such words to hit me because you want to be beaten up by me." Ton?"

Su Yingchu's tone was very angry. She didn't think her cooking was bad, because Ye Ling'an had been eating it for more than [-] years.

"..."

The corner of Ye Ling'an's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.Because Ye Ling'an could feel that Su Yingchu seemed to be alive at this moment, not immersed in that pain, not washing her face with tears, and a happy expression appeared on her face.

Sure enough, only people of the same age had something to talk about.

At least in front of Ye Ling'an, Su Yingchu had never been so lively.

"I'm telling the truth." Qingluan Douluo's expression remained unchanged, but his tone instantly became serious, "Everyone knows that I, Qingluan Douluo, don't tell lies. killed me."

Su Yingchu's complexion suddenly turned ugly, "Then we two will go to the Great Soul Arena in Wuhun City to fight?"

"Look at who loses and who wins in a bet way."

As the holy place in the minds of soul masters, Wuhun City naturally has buildings such as the Great Spirit Arena for competition between soul masters. The bar is high.

Those who can participate in the big soul fighting competition here are at least above the soul sect.

"No, we are all old guys, why do these things that children only do?"

Qingluan Douluo chuckled, of course he rejected Su Yingchu's proposal.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Su Yingchu, it was simply that he didn't want to fight Su Yingchu.

Every soul master has the instinct to fight, and will not be afraid of fighting.Qingluan Douluo didn't want to hurt Su Yingchu.

"Oh." Su Yingchu gave him a look, "Then invite you to a restaurant."

"If you don't believe in my craftsmanship, it means that you have no luck. My daughter has been eating for more than [-] years. If there is a problem, something will happen. It is said that not seeing each other is like three autumns. We have known each other for decades. You still can't change your impression of me? This is your problem."

Su Yingchu said coldly, she was in a bad mood.

Ye Ling'an listened carefully to their conversation, and suddenly felt very helpless.Three adults, but acting like three kids.

Is this the so-called childlike innocence?
"Cough cough." Guangling Douluo coughed a few times, and immediately looked at Ye Ling'an, "Yingchu, Ling'an, let's chat in another place."

"There are too many people here, it's not suitable for conversation."

Guangling Douluo walked forward, he was taking them to a place.Each enshrined in the Wuhun Temple has an exclusive palace, which belongs to their private territory.The place Guangling Douluo wanted to take them to was naturally his palace.

Ye Ling'an had gone to Qingluan Douluo's private palace before.

The decoration style of each palace is different, because it depends on their own requirements.

Qingluan Douluo's palace style is cold, and his personality is actually very cold, but he will become more lively in front of familiar people, giving people a mature feeling, but in fact his heart is still very cold.

This is very similar to Ye Ling'an, but still different.If I insist on describing it, I can only say that Ye Ling'an is cold inside and out, and Qingluan Douluo still has a bit of humanity.

Generally speaking, people are inevitably vulgar, and emotional entanglements will arise.

The style of Guangling Douluo's residence is very gentle, and patches of blue flowers are planted at the entrance of the palace, giving people a beautiful feeling.There is not a single big tree here, but there are many lanterns and wind chimes hanging on the gate of the palace.

When the wind blows gently, the wind chime will ring and make a crisp and pleasant sound, which will make the ears enjoy.

This is the sound of nature, and it is also the sound produced by vibration.

Guangling Douluo's palace is blue, but it is in stark contrast to Qingluan Douluo's palace, because it is warm everywhere.

The group of them walked into the palace, and Guangling Douluo specially found a few chairs for them to sit on, while he himself went to make tea.

That's right, Guangling Douluo is a playful person on the surface, but in fact he is a person who pays great attention to the quality of life.

What is Contrast Moe?It is like Guangling Douluo who looks immature like a teenager, but is actually calm like an elder in his heart.

Although Guangling Douluo is a bit playful, he is an old man in his 80s.

Although this age cannot be judged from the appearance, it cannot change his age.

The titled Douluo of the Wuhun Temple are all young and beautiful beauties, because the improvement of the level of soul power can alleviate aging to a certain extent.Just like Qian Daoliu, he is almost 30 years old, but his appearance is only in his [-]s. Looking at his handsome face, it is hard to imagine his real age.

Qingluan Douluo, Guangling Douluo, and Su Yingchu appear to be in their 20s, but they are actually in their 80s, and they are out-and-out old people.But their combat ability is not much different from that of young people, which shows the benefits brought by the level of soul power.

The higher the level of soul power, the longer its lifespan.

During the decades in Wuhundian, in order not to be lonely, I naturally have a few more hobbies.Making tea is Guangling Douluo's hobby.

He not only loves to make tea, but also likes to taste tea. There is a tea stand in the palace, which houses all kinds of tea, all of which are treasures of tea, which he has treasured for decades.

As soon as they came, Guangling Douluo brewed Qingming tea from the Heaven Dou Empire.This kind of tea has a price but no market, one or two is worth a thousand gold soul coins, this price may not be available, it can be seen that Guangling Douluo values ​​them.

Su Yingchu drank the whole cup very gracefully, and then said: "Good tea. The price of the top-notch Qingming tea in Tiandou Empire is five thousand gold soul coins per tael. Your method of making tea has at least caught three taels."

"It cost you [-] gold soul coins for the three of us to be your guests. You are quite rich."

Ye Ling'an drank the tea silently, feeling the fresh fragrance lingering on her lips, and the faint fragrance lingered for a long time.

This is indeed good tea, a good thing that can make people happy physically and mentally.

No wonder this tea is sold so expensive in Tiandou Empire, as expected, everyone knows what to buy.

"These are minor problems." Guangling Douluo shrugged and said lazily, "Compared to what you gave me, this is nothing."

"If it weren't for the fairy grass and spiritual liquid that Ling An gave me, maybe I would have been stuck at level 96 for decades, and I wouldn't be able to reach level 97 now. Jiangmo and Qianjun's martial souls have both undergone secondary evolution , into a golden dragon. Their spirit power level is the same as ours, but their martial spirit is a little stronger than ours."

Guangling Douluo's tone suddenly became serious.

Compared to the priceless grass jelly, his tea leaves are nothing at all.Without the grass jelly and elixir given by Ye Ling'an, it would be impossible for him to reach level 80 in his 97s, which is very close to level 98.

After reaching the Titled Douluo, every level up requires double effort, which is why Guangling Douluo admires their group of children.

You can reach Contra before the age of 30, which is very close to Title Douluo.With their talents, they will be promoted faster after becoming a Title Douluo, and they won't be trapped in the same level for decades like these old guys, or even a lifetime.

If cultivation was as fast as Ye Lingan's, there wouldn't be only three Limit Douluo in the entire continent within a hundred years, which shows the difficulty of Title Douluo's cultivation.

Not everyone is as defiant as Ye Lingan, who looks like a monster.

"Yeah, after taking the fairy grass, my current soul power level is 98." Qingluan Douluo nodded in agreement, he thought the same as Guangling Douluo.

Without the celestial grass and spiritual liquid given by Ye Ling'an, their soul power level would not have progressed so fast.

Although every priest in Wuhundian is an extremely powerful person with a soul power level above 95, Wuhundian is a force that respects strength.

The stronger you are, the greater your right to speak in the Spirit Hall.Strength represents your status in the Hall of Spirits!

Su Yingchu didn't speak, but looked at Ye Ling'an, she was also the beneficiary.

Ye Ling'an brought back the fairy grass from the Heaven Dou Empire many years ago, and refined it into a liquid medicine for the titled Douluo of the Wuhun Hall to take, benefiting them all and changing their soul power level.

Su Yingchu's current soul power level is 97, which is the benefit of the fairy grass.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Su Yingchu, who was hurt by love, to reach this level in her 80s.

She was unwilling, and it was naturally difficult to improve her cultivation.

"These are trivial things." Ye Ling'an said slowly, his flawless face showed no ups and downs, making it feel like a pool of stagnant water.

"The development of the Wuhun Temple is inseparable from the uncles and aunts, so my efforts are worthwhile. Furthermore, the role that the fairy grass can provide lies in the talents of the uncles and aunts, not just my role."

Ye Ling'an did not feel proud and belittle them, but talked to them calmly, which would make them feel comfortable.

No one likes arrogant people.

Everyone was outstanding when they were young, and they were even the pride of heaven. Who would like others to step on their heads?
Ye Ling'an's ability to talk with a calm attitude shows what she thinks in her heart, and her ability and personality are the best of each other.

"Ling An is too modest." Qingluan Douluo said lightly, "Without Ling An's gift, how could we take these immortal herbs?"

"We old guys have been unable to find these treasures all our lives, but you can find them, which shows that these things are your opportunities and cannot be taken away by others. You have this luck and share it with us, it is ours Good luck." Qingluan Douluo sincerely felt that Ye Lingan was a good boy.

In the case of good things, don't forget the titled Douluo of Wuhundian. This is to respect the seniors and treat them as family members.

Otherwise, Ye Ling'an should hide such a precious thing from them.

People are greedy and have their own desires.

"Uncle Qingluan is serious." Ye Lingan shook his head, and said calmly, "I didn't think too much, I think everyone is thinking about Wuhundian, I just did what I can, there is no need to let everyone remember me."

Ye Ling'an has a very calm attitude towards things, so naturally he doesn't take these things to heart.

It is because she is too plain that others can't figure out her true inner thoughts.

A strong person is to hide his emotions and not let others see clearly.

"You are so similar to Ye Yujing in this." Guangling Douluo sighed, and said helplessly, "Bringing benefits to everyone without charging benefits, you are not modest, you are too naive."

"Third brother always said that I am playful, like a child. Now it seems that you are a child, and you can easily give up even these..."

Guang Ling Douluo really felt that Ye Ling'an was at a disadvantage.You can't let others get the benefits for nothing, just let yourself suffer.

Those fairy grasses exist in legends, and others may not be able to find them if they want them. She can get back so many fairy grasses, which shows that this is her chance. Why give them to these old guys?

As a human being, you still have to care about it, otherwise you will be the one who suffers.

This is a point that Guangling Douluo disagrees with Ye Lingan.

His nature is playful, but he also knows that every grievance will be rewarded, and he has his own arrogance in it. This is the first time he has seen someone like Ye Ling'an who doesn't care about gains and losses at all.

"Guang Ling, don't speak nonsense." Qingluan Douluo looked up at Guang Ling Douluo, with a warning tone, "This is Ling An's idea, we can't make the decision for her."

"Whether she wants to or not is her idea."

Qingluan Douluo sees it more thoroughly than Guangling Douluo.

Looking at the reality through the essence, Ye Ling'an used these fairy grasses to buy people's hearts, and used the fairy grasses to create momentum for thousands of families.

He thought of the current internal conflicts in Wuhundian.

After Chihiro Ji's accident, the power of the Qian Family of Wuhundian was still affected, so they could only delegate power to Bibidong, and let Bibidong manage Wuhundian.Now that the young generation of Qianjia is growing up, it is natural that they want to slowly regain the power of Wuhundian.

What Ye Ling'an did seemed to not care about the value of the fairy grass, and gave the opportunity to the titled Douluo of the Wuhun Temple. In fact, she was preparing for the future seizure of power.

Everyone is a person with hundreds of minds, so naturally they will think more.

To be honest, how can you see through people who can be accepted by Bibi Dong as disciples?
Hearing this, Ye Ling'an chuckled and said calmly, "Uncle Qingluan can see it more clearly."

"What belongs to us, we will definitely take it back. We never owe anyone, and we don't want to be enemies with others, but whoever dares to bully us, then he cannot afford the price."

Those blue eyes revealed endless coldness, and that indifferent expression appeared on that flawless face, which made Qingluan Douluo shudder.

Knew it……

Talented people come out from generation to generation, but the predecessors are still not as good as the future generations.

No wonder Ye Ling'an was able to reach Contra at this age, her character has already surpassed most people, even he has to admire her.

"I will use anything of value, because people's hearts are complicated, aren't they?"

Ye Lingan picked up the teapot very naturally and poured himself another cup of tea, tasting the tea with incomparably graceful movements.

Ye Ling'an didn't intervene in their previous conversation, it doesn't mean she didn't speculate about their relationship.

From the conversation between Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo, she realized that the relationship between the three of them is very good.

Being related to his parents, and being the priests of the Wuhun Temple, Ye Ling'an would naturally think more about it.

How to deal with the relationship between them is the question that Ye Ling'an thinks about the most.

"Hey." Su Yingchu smiled helplessly, "Ling An has her own thoughts since she was a child, she made up her mind, so I don't need to worry about it."

"On the contrary, it's you, Guang Ling. Why is your progress the slowest when everyone is taking jelly grass? Tell me, are you going to play again? You are so old, and you still act like a child. Not good. The time spent playing with arrows is spent on cultivation. You are already at level 98, not at level 97 as you are now. You must know that Jiang Mo and Qianjun are both on the same level as you in terms of cultivation. Grab your strength, do you want to be surpassed by their brothers? Do you really want to be the seventh child?"

Su Yingchu's eyes instantly fell on Guangling Douluo.

As long as Guangling Douluo is not practicing, he is playing with arrows.His martial spirit is the Divine Bow of Light Ling, so his title is Light Ling.

Everyone calls each other by title, not by name, because this is the value of both parties.

Only when chatting privately do they address each other by their first names.

Take Su Yingchu as an example, they will say her title, Douluo, and title angel, instead of her name.

"Ah, you are boring like this." Guangling Douluo smacked his lips, and looked at Su Yingchu angrily, "This is exposing me, and there is a child here."

Guangling Douluo said so, but with an indifferent attitude.He seems to care about his image, but in fact he is the person who cares the least about his image.

Su Yingchu gave him a look to let him experience it.

In fact, the relationship between the three of them is very good, because the three of them grew up together.In order to develop their power, the Angel Clan of Wuhundian naturally let their direct disciples train together with the geniuses of Wuhundian.

Except for the second enshrined Golden Crocodile Douluo, Su Yingchu has a very good relationship with the other enshrined.Among them, the third enshrines Qingluan Douluo and the fifth enshrines Guangling Douluo has the best relationship.

"You two go away." Qingluan Douluo looked at them with a headache, "Ling An and I are talking, don't interrupt our conversation."

After saying that, he immediately looked at Ye Ling'an, and said in a deep voice, "Ling'an, I admit that you and Ren Xue are the same on this point."

"You are all smart, and you will use methods to build momentum for yourself, but this is not necessary. Compared with their loyalty, fairy grass is more important. The title Douluo in the Elder Hall are all angels loyal to the Spirit Hall, It is the belief in angel gods, it is impossible for us to betray our own beliefs..."

The noble blood of the angel family flows from the two sisters, and this alone can convince them that they don't need to use other means.

Sending fairy grass to each Title Douluo is completely superfluous.

As soon as Qingluan Douluo finished speaking, Ye Ling'an said calmly, "In my opinion, those are two different things."

"The path I want to take is different from others."

"The angel family has her to inherit, but what I have to do is different."

Those blue eyes were full of determination and ambition.

"do you understand?"

Su Yingchu and Guangling Douluo stopped suddenly, and looked at Ye Ling'an with greatly changed expressions. Even Qingluan Douluo had a look of surprise on his face.

At this moment, they saw the determination of a teenager, and also saw the glorious starting point of an era.

The strong fighting spirit of young people is enough to influence an era.

With this woman, Wuhundian will definitely embark on a new direction.This is the honor of the angel family.

This idea appeared in the minds of Qingluan Douluo and Guangling Douluo at the same time, and it did not dissipate for a long time.

A real genius does not change the opinions of those around him, but changes the entire era, making this era different because of his existence.

……

A few days later, the Heaven Dou Empire, Feng Family of Ningxing City.

Feng Qianluo looked at Ye Lingan with extremely surprised eyes, "Why are you here?"

Her tone was trembling, and the excitement in her heart could be heard.Judging from Ye Lingan's extraordinary performance, she knew that Ye Lingan was not simple.

According to the news from the front line, Feng Qianluo knew that they were on a pirate ship, the kind that they couldn't get off even if they wanted to.

Because Ye Ling'an is the saint of the Wuhun Palace, Feng Qianyan, the successor of the Feng family, and Ye Ling'an reached an agreement to cooperate with the power of the family, so their Feng family and Wuhun Palace are on the same boat.

Over the years, the Feng family and Wuhundian secretly cooperated to secretly transport the precious ore from the Heaven Dou Empire to Wuhun City. They knew a little about the people on both sides, so they naturally knew the importance of Ye Ling'an in Wuhundian.

Feng Qianluo was convinced by the strength Ye Ling'an showed in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition five years ago.

This talent is even more terrifying than her sister Feng Qianyan.

This person is still the saint of Wuhun Temple!

With her here, Wuhundian might develop even better.

"Of course I came to look for you." Ye Ling'an said with an unchanged expression, "Feng Qianyan is in Tiandou City now, so it's inconvenient for me to contact her."

"But you are different, no one will pay attention to you."

Ye Ling'an didn't go to Feng Qianyan because she didn't want to expose this hidden clue.Qian Renxue secretly usurped the power of the Tiandou Empire, and she dared not show it publicly, so she needed help from someone in the dark, and Feng Qianyan was the best candidate.

If something unexpected happens to Qian Renxue, Feng Qianyan can help Qian Renxue in time.

Unless necessary, they would not expose Feng Qianyan's existence, let alone let this dark thread come to light.

"Is there something you want from me? I can't guess it. You can just say that I will do my best." Feng Qianluo's expression suddenly became heavy.

She didn't think she could complete the task given by Ye Ling'an.

"I'm here to ask you something." Ye Ling settled down and said slowly, "How much do you know about the history of your family?"

"..."

The corner of Feng Qianluo's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ye Lingan with extremely shocked eyes.
