Wasting a week or two at most?
Without consuming the immortal herbs, gaining one level of soul power in a week or two would be the limit. It wouldn't be a sudden, massive leap, jumping several levels at once.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong left tactfully, giving the father and daughter some private time.
Walking out of the meeting hall, Gu Rong laughed and cursed, "You old coot, do you think we'll be around to help Rongrong when she becomes a Title Douluo?"
Chen Xin was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "How would I know what the future holds?"
In the predetermined future, both Chen Xin and Gu Rong would die.
But now, things were different. With Chen Qingling's involvement, the future was gradually changing.
Gu Rong frowned. "That doesn't sound like you. You've really changed a lot, old coot. You're not as sharp as you used to be."
Chen Xin smiled faintly. "People always change. Just like Rongrong, after meeting Qingling, didn't she become a different person?"
Indeed!
Everyone who came into contact with Qingling was changing.
The gears of fate began to turn.
Inside the meeting hall.
Ning Fengzhi looked up at Chen Qingling, tears streaming down his face. "Qingling, thank you."
"Without you, I'm afraid Rongrong would have been like me, unable to break through the eightieth rank for life."
Chen Qingling quickly waved her hand. "Uncle Ning, there's no need to thank me, I was just responsible for finding it."
"I knew about the Qiluo Tulip because my father told me."
Ning Fengzhi's pupils constricted slightly. Again, it was Qingling's father?
He was already full of curiosity about her father, and at this moment, his curiosity grew even stronger.
"I really want to meet your father, Qingling, and witness his elegance."
Just how peerlessly brilliant was Qingling's father, this secluded powerhouse? From all these incidents, Ning Fengzhi felt that Qingling's father was omnipotent, that there was nothing he couldn't do.
It was just as Qingling often said, her father was all-knowing, and there was nothing he couldn't do!
"Alright, let's not talk about that. It's getting late. You've all worked hard today, go back and get some rest."
"If you need anything, just ask. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will do everything we can to help you."
"Thank you, Uncle Ning. Goodbye." Chen Qingling replied politely, and the three of them left hand in hand.
Watching their backs, especially his daughter Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt a knot in his heart.
"What's going on?"
"Why do I suddenly feel uneasy?"
"Am I overthinking things?"
In fact, it wasn't. If he didn't hurry, Rongrong would be 'stolen away'.
The sun set in the west, and the evening glow shone on the three girls, making them feel warm.
Ning Rongrong looked at Chen Qingling and Xiao Wu. "How can I repay you both?"
Xiao Wu blinked. "It doesn't matter. I didn't really help much. Qingling-jie did most of the work."
Chen Qingling's eyes darted around, then suddenly landed on their chests, her eyes lighting up.
"Have we three ever bathed together?"
The intention behind the suggestion was obvious, despite the pretext of bathing.
"Sounds good!"
"Hehe, I haven't bathed with you in a while, Qingling. And today, we'll have Xiao Wu too."
"Let's go!"
Holy Soul Village.
Tang Hao, who should have left, stayed in the blacksmith shop, just to give his good-for-nothing son Tang San a good lesson.
For a woman, he was really bringing shame upon him.
Fortunately, no one knew that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, or else he wouldn't know where to hide his old face.
It was too embarrassing.
"Dad, I'm back," Tang San tiptoed into the blacksmith shop, not knowing why he felt the atmosphere at home was very strange, very oppressive. He didn't remember the atmosphere at home being oppressive? Could it be that he hadn't been back for too long? So his dad was sulking? Tang Hao looked at Tang San and was about to scold him, but he held back.
"Ahem, ahem, Xiao San, how have you been doing these days?"
"Dad… I have a very fulfilling life every day. I've made a lot of friends at the academy."
"By the way, Dad, I've also been diligently working. The blacksmith shop in Notting City said my hammer technique is the Raging Storm Hammer Technique. What kind of hammer technique is that?"
Tang San was talking nonsense with a straight face, without blushing or his heart skipping a beat.
This infuriated Tang Hao. A fulfilling life every day? Heh, it's probably every day spent fawning over a woman!
That really is fulfilling! Made a lot of friends at the academy? Heh, it's probably making a lot of enemies!
If Tang Hao hadn't been watching every moment, he would have been completely fooled by Tang San.
Tang Hao suppressed the urge to burst out in anger, taking a deep breath.
"The Raging Storm Hammer Technique is one of the Clear Sky Sect's unique skills."
"Clear Sky Sect?!" Tang San's eyes widened, and his heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected his second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, to have such a significant background!
At the same time, Tang San was secretly pleased.
If my background is so great, wouldn't it be easier to pursue Xiao Wu? He thought, I'll be able to make a splash in front of her!
"Dad, why are we here? Why aren't we at the Clear Sky Sect?"
During his half-year of studying, Tang San had gained some understanding of the Douluo Continent and knew about the major powers in the world.
"Hmph, never mention the Clear Sky Sect again, and don't reveal anything about it to others. Your second Martial Soul, Xiao San, absolutely cannot be exposed to outsiders."
"You must remember, only use it if you are absolutely forced to."
"But…"
"But what!"
This time, Tang Hao was truly enraged. Looking at his good-for-nothing son, Tang San, he really couldn't believe he'd fathered a son whose head was filled with nothing but women!
"Xiao San, don't think I don't know you're lying!"
"I know everything about the mess you've been making at the academy!"
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, and he swallowed hard, his body instinctively trembling.
He never expected his father would know about his affairs at the academy.
He was finished!
Completely finished!
"Dad... listen to me explain... I..."
"I really fell for that girl..."
"Damn it! You rebellious son, get down on your knees!" Tang Hao roared, intentionally letting a portion of his aura leak out.
Instantly, Tang San's struggles became futile, and he was forced to kneel on the ground.
"Rebellious son, do you know your mistake!"
Tang San gritted his teeth, stubbornly enduring the pressure Tang Hao was exerting.
"Dad… I don't think I'm wrong…"
"Xiao Wu is the woman I've chosen. I want to protect her for the rest of my life, never to abandon her."
If the two were in love with each other, Tang Hao wouldn't have cared. But this was only Tang San's one-sided infatuation, absolutely unacceptable!
"Rebellious son!"
Tang Hao was furious, and with a kick, he sent Tang San sprawling.
"Do you know what her identity is?"
"She's a 100,000-Year Soul Beast!"
Tang San felt as though he'd been struck by lightning, his mind going blank.
A 100,000-Year Soul Beast? What did that mean? It was self-evident!
Tang San was silent for a moment, then made a decision that went against his ancestors' teachings.
"Dad, no matter what Xiao Wu's identity is, I just want to pursue (suck up to) her!"
