As Shui Bing'er entered a meditative state, Broad Hill sidled up to Han Li.
"Seeing you frowning earlier, what's wrong? Is her Martial Soul problem difficult to solve?"
"Or should we send her back? Your Martial Uncle Azure Luan shouldn't mind if I go back on my word, it's not like it's the first time anyway."
Broad Hill said without any sense of guilt. As long as Han Li said it was 'difficult', he was ready to just dump Shui Bing'er back where she came from.
"No, Master, you're overthinking it. I wasn't thinking about that problem. Her Martial Soul problem is actually very easy to solve. It's already a top-tier Martial Soul, and it doesn't even need an Immortal Herb. It just needs to make up for some underdeveloped Martial Soul origins, and she can surpass many people just by her own cultivation."
Han Li replied, somewhat amused.
"Then why are you still frowning? Isn't it better if you don't need an Immortal Herb? This girl is a little too smart, unlike Xiu'er and Xiao Yanzi. I'm worried you'll fall head over heels for her."
So far, Broad Hill's evaluation of Shui Bing'er was very high.
"What are you talking about, Master?"
Han Li glared at Broad Hill, not commenting on his eagerness to watch him make a fool of himself.
"I'm considering the Soul Skill problem. If I mess up such a strong Ice Phoenix, I'll be a laughingstock."
"Ice-attribute amplification skills are my specialty, come on, let me give you some advice."
"But I say, you should also perk up a bit. Don't forget, Bibi Dong will make things difficult when we get back this time. That Hu Liena, give her a good beating."
"Or? How about you take on three at once, to increase the difficulty for you?"
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Now, can you tell me about ice-attribute avian Soul Beasts? The closer their bloodline is to the Phoenix, the better..."
The Master and disciple huddled together, beginning to compile relevant Soul Beast information. ... Under Han Li's constant urging, on the evening of the last day he had agreed upon with the two girls before his departure, he saw the outline of Spirit City.
"Thank goodness, we finally made it back."
Han Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, thankfully saying.
"It's rare to see you so flustered."
Shui Bing'er giggled, covering her mouth. During the journey, she had seen Han Li urge the coachman to speed up more than once.
"It's alright, I'll introduce Sister Xiu'er and Sister Yan to you later, you should get along well." Han Li replied with a smile, relieved.
"Okay, I'm starting to look forward to meeting them." Shui Bing'er said with a smile.
"Alright, we're at the foot of Elder Mountain, we should get off the carriage. We can only walk up from here."
Once the carriage came to a stop, Han Li took the lead in getting off, saying to Shui Bing'er.
"This is also my first time riding in a carriage for so long, I should indeed stretch my legs."
Shui Bing'er also got down, looking at the lights already lit in the city and the Elder Mountain in front of her, which seemed to be glowing on its own, admiring this peculiar scene.
"Oh."
Broad Hill, who had just gotten off the carriage, looked up towards the top of the mountain.
As his voice sounded, Han Li and Shui Bing'er also followed his movements and looked towards the top of the mountain.
Suddenly, a cyan light appeared in the sky, and a sharp phoenix cry rang out. The clouds that had not yet dispersed seemed to have come into contact with something, and with the top of the mountain as the center, they rippled outwards like the surface of water.
Then, as the sound waves spread, even the three people at the foot of the mountain were greatly affected, squinting their eyes from a gust of wind.
"It seems we've returned just in time, your Martial Uncle has broken through."
The joy on Broad Hill's face was undisguised, as he turned to look at Han Li.
"You two hurry up and climb, I'll go ahead."
As soon as his voice fell, his figure had turned into a streak of white light, flying quickly forward.
"The one who broke through, is that my future teacher?"
Shui Bing'er glanced at Broad Hill's speeding figure, turning her head to look at Han Li.
Han Li's face also wore a thick smile.
"Yes, that's Azure Luan Shibo. Let's go, let's also speed up. Martial Uncle is out of seclusion, and you've arrived just in time, this is fate."
As he spoke, his wings spread out behind him, reaching out his right hand towards Shui Bing'er.
Shui Bing'er looked at the hand he offered, hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and took it.
Looking at the somewhat excited Han Li, she muttered in her heart, He shouldn't be doing this on purpose, right? Even though Han Li's speed was extremely fast, carrying a person and having to take Shui Bing'er's feelings into consideration, by the time he arrived in front of the Azure Luan Residence, the phenomenon in the sky had already ended.
Judging from the voices coming from inside, there was more than just Broad Hill.
"Congratulations, Martial Uncle."
As soon as he stepped into Azure Luan 's secluded place, Han Li shouted loudly before he even saw anyone.
After he walked past the barrier in the courtyard, he didn't even have time to say hello before a few words were thrown at him.
"Xiao Li, you're a bit late today."
"Xiao Li is back?"
"Xiao Li is amazing, bringing back a girl after just one trip out. You should go out more often, or the mountain might be full."
...
As the last voice fell, Han Li immediately felt a little bad. Then, he saw everyone's eyes focused on him.
Xiu'er and Du Gu Yan even looked at him and Shui Bing'er's still-holding hands with some displeasure.
He followed their joined hands upwards and found that Shui Bing'er's face was already completely red, obviously because of the teasing in the previous words.
He inconspicuously let go of her hand, briefly shielded himself from Xiu'er and Du Gu Yan's gazes, and looked towards the Lion Douluo who had said the last sentence.
"Martial Uncle Lion, please don't slander me. This is Shui Bing'er, a future junior sister. If you say something like that, the greeting gift will have to be doubled. I don't know if your Storage Soul Tool has enough space."
"Hey, you little brat."
The Lion also heard that he was joking, but knew that he had probably said the wrong thing. He shook his head and smiled.
He was really afraid that this black-hearted kid would trick him again. It wasn't that he was stingy, he didn't have anything good anyway, but it would be embarrassing and he would be teased by the others. He thought it was better to shut up.
"Congratulations, Martial Uncle, on breaking through and reaching a new level."
Han Li walked up to Azure Luan and congratulated her again.
"Thank you, Xiao Li. I was able to break through smoothly thanks to the things you shared with us before."
Azure Luan was as gentle as ever, and even though she had just broken through, the excitement in her words was not that strong or obvious.
"Alright, disperse, you old guys can ask whatever you want tomorrow. There are many juniors here, don't scare them."
Broad Hill unceremoniously made the decision for Azure Luan and began to drive away the other Elders.
"As expected of you, Broad Hill, you can even say something like that. Forget it, see you tomorrow then. Third Brother, we'll leave first."
Qian Jun greeted Azure Luan and walked out with Jiang Mo. The Lion followed suit, not wanting to stay here and be annoying.
Broad Hill approached Azure Luan and whispered a few words, pointing to the girl over there.
"Shui Bing'er?"
Azure Luan 's gaze turned to the girl who was still in a daze, and she asked softly.
"Yes, greetings, Elder. Congratulations on your successful breakthrough."
The blue-haired girl replied somewhat restrainedly and offered her congratulations.
"How about we try to get along for a few days?"
Azure Luan 's gentle voice sounded again.
"Yes, Senior."
Shui Bing'er obediently changed her address.
On the other side, Han Li grabbed Du Gu Yan's hand on his waist and looked at the others.
"Master, Martial Uncle, why don't we go to my place first? There's ready-made wine and dishes, just in time to celebrate."
"Alright, let's go to your place then."
Broad Hill glanced at Azure Luan to confirm his meaning.
The group of six changed locations and headed towards the nearby residence.
