"Lingling, why do you want to go to Spirit Hall Academy?"
Ye Susu squatted down and asked while gently stroking Ye Lingling's head.
She didn't recall mentioning Spirit Hall Academy to her daughter.
Why the sudden change of heart?
Ye Lingling pointed at Golden Crown and said, "Brother Golden Crown told me. He also said that Spirit Hall Academy's educational resources are the best on the continent. If I join, I'll have a Titled Douluo as a teacher, and..."
After hearing her daughter's words, Ye Susu thought to herself, "So that's how it is."
No wonder her daughter suddenly decided to go to Spirit Hall Academy.
It turned out she was being targeted by people from Spirit Hall.
In that case...
Lingling's encounter just now might have been orchestrated as well.
The goal was likely to play out a 'hero saving the beauty' scenario.
All to recruit the next generation's Nine Star Begonia Soul Master.
Thinking of this...
Ye Susu's gaze toward Golden Crown and Rhino Douluo couldn't help but turn wary.
She summoned her guards and then looked at Golden Crown, saying, "So you two are from Spirit Hall. Thank you again for saving my daughter."
"However, Lingling's talent is mediocre. As for going to Spirit Hall Academy, let's forget about it."
"We still have a journey to make. Farewell."
After saying that...
Ye Susu pulled her daughter toward the carriage, preparing to leave.
"Madam, please wait a moment."
Seeing his plan, which was 99% successful, about to drop to zero...
Golden Crown hurriedly stepped forward, trying to salvage the situation.
"Stop right there!"
A Spirit Saint and several Spirit Kings blocked the way.
That Soul Master activated his Martial Soul, and three yellow, two purple, and two black Soul Rings appeared.
Attempting to make Golden Crown back down.
Due to the extreme healing specialty of their Martial Soul, the Nine Star Begonia Sect had recruited many experts as guards or guest elders.
This was why the Nine Star Begonia lineage could still exist and become one of the Lower Three Sects despite having no offensive capabilities.
Seeing that the soft approach wouldn't work, Golden Crown gave Rhino Douluo a look.
Bring out the heavy hitters!
Rhino Douluo understood.
A powerful aura unique to a Titled Douluo swept across the surroundings.
The intense pressure made it hard for that Spirit Saint to breathe.
"A Titled Douluo!"
Feeling this aura, Ye Susu looked at Rhino Douluo behind Golden Crown in shock.
Her health was already very poor, and she was only holding on with medication.
Under the impact of this aura, she could barely stand and had to crouch down.
Golden Crown saw that the effect was sufficient.
He gestured for Rhino Douluo to disperse the pressure.
Once the pressure vanished...
Ye Susu felt much better.
Under Rhino Douluo's pressure, no one dared to block the way this time.
Golden Crown stepped forward and said, "Madam, may we have a private word?"
"Hmph, since talking didn't work, you're resorting to force?"
Ye Susu let out a cold laugh.
It seemed they wouldn't be able to leave easily today.
In front of a Titled Douluo, the people she brought this time stood no chance.
"You must be joking, Madam. I just want to have a chat with you. After all..." At this point, Golden Crown leaned in and whispered in Ye Susu's ear, "Madam, you wouldn't want Lingling to know you don't have long to live, would you?"
Ye Susu's heart tightened.
Although the Martial Soul flaw of the Nine Star Begonia lineage wasn't a secret on the Douluo Continent...
She hadn't told her daughter yet to avoid worrying her.
Golden Crown saw that the time was right and threw out the bait: "If I said I could solve the Martial Soul flaw of your Nine Star Begonia Soul Masters, would you be willing to chat with me for a moment?"
"!!!"
These words left Ye Susu greatly shocked.
What did she just hear?
This youth before her said he could solve the Nine Star Begonia's flaw!
What a joke.
Their Nine Star Begonia Sect had searched for a solution for many years without success.
How could this youth possibly know?
But what if it was true?
If it were true, she might not have to die, and Lingling wouldn't have any issues after getting married and having children in the future.
Seeing Ye Susu still contemplating...
Golden Crown walked to the side. "Madam, think it through. My time is very limited. If you are unwilling, I won't force you."
After thinking it over...
Ye Susu and Golden Crown walked to the side.
"It seems Madam has made the right choice," Golden Crown said with a smile.
Ye Susu didn't want to exchange pleasantries and asked directly, "Is what you said true? Do you really have a way to solve the Martial Soul flaw of my Nine Star Begonia lineage?"
"Of course!"
"I once found an ancient book in the Spirit Hall Library that detailed how to solve the Nine Star Begonia Martial Soul flaw." Golden Crown once again brought up the non-existent ancient book he used to fool Jin E.
"What is the method?" Ye Susu asked hurriedly.
Originally skeptical, she believed him much more after hearing about the ancient book.
After all, she had long heard of Spirit Hall's Library, which contained the most comprehensive collection of books on the continent.
Golden Crown smiled. "I won't say what the method is right now, naturally. But rest assured, as long as Lingling comes to Spirit Hall Academy, I will definitely help her solve the Martial Soul flaw."
"You wouldn't want Lingling to die from the Martial Soul flaw like you in the future, would you?"
The last sentence completely hit Ye Susu's weak spot.
After all, Ye Lingling was her only child and her only remaining relative in this world.
Naturally, she didn't want her daughter to suffer the same pain in the future.
Ye Susu said with a worried expression, "But the relationship between Nine Star Begonia and the Tiandou Empire is unusual. If Lingling joins Spirit Hall Academy, the Empire will surely demand an explanation."
He almost forgot.
The Nine Star Begonia Sect was located in the southwest of the Tiandou Empire.
Because the Nine Star Begonia Martial Soul had extremely high strategic value, the Tiandou Empire valued it greatly.
But for Spirit Hall, this wasn't an issue.
Golden Crown said, "Rest assured, if the Tiandou Empire makes trouble, our Spirit Hall will naturally not stand idly by."
Hearing this...
Ye Susu fell into deep thought.
The reason she was going to send Ye Lingling to Heaven Dou Royal Academy...
First, her time was running out, and she wanted to find a safe place for her daughter before she passed away.
Second, because the Heaven Dou Imperial Family promised to protect the Nine Star Begonia Sect in the future.
But now Spirit Hall had also extended an olive branch.
And there was the possibility of solving their Martial Soul flaw.
This temptation was truly too great.
After considering it again, she said, "I need to think about this matter further."
"No problem."
"Once you've made up your mind, you can come to Spirit Hall Academy to find me at any time."
"But be quick; I'm afraid you won't last much longer."
After saying that...
Golden Crown left with Rhino Douluo.
He believed Ye Susu was a smart woman.
She could distinguish between life and death.
Moreover, this involved Ye Lingling.
Looking at Golden Crown's departing figure, Ye Lingling asked curiously, "Mom, what did you just talk about with the big brother?"
"Nothing much, just some things about where you'll go to school," Ye Susu replied gently.
The guard from earlier stepped forward and asked, "Madam, shall we continue our journey?"
"No need, let's return to the Sect first."
Clearly, Ye Susu was beginning to waver.
But before getting into the carriage...
She added, "By the way, those guys who bullied Lingling must not be let off. Find them and cripple them."
"Yes!"
Soon, they found the guys who bullied Ye Lingling.
After crippling their limbs...
They returned to the Nine Star Begonia Sect...
They then returned to the Nine Star Begonia Sect...
