Qian Renjue looked at the strands of hair sticking to Lingyuan's cheeks.
He softly instructed, "Sister Lingyuan, you should sit down and rest for a while."
"Your Highness, I'm just a bit hot."
Douluo Lingyuan lightly shook her head.
Completely unconcerned, under Qian Renjue's gaze she slightly pulled open her collar—revealing white, delicate collarbones and the faint outline of a valley.
"Alright."
Qian Renjue was long accustomed to this. He looked at the nine purple pills in his hand.
Using a Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma as the main ingredient,supplemented with other herbs that stimulate medicinal power,these were refined into Ninth-Grade Soul-Raising Pills.
For a Soul King and below, taking it for the first time would definitely raise one level of soul power.
If taken again—it would only replenish a small amount of soul power.
For soul masters above Soul King, it could only serve as soul power recovery.
After briefly examining their quality,Qian Renjue's face carried a smile. He lifted his purple eyes, unable to refrain from praising:
"Sister Lingyuan, your pill-refining technique has improved very quickly."
"It is all thanks to Your Highness's good teaching."
Douluo Lingyuan bowed slightly with respect.
Her heart was equally filled with joy.
This pill-refining method was of extremely high value.After mastering it, her status within Spirit Hall would only rise further.
By then—when His Highness inherited the position of Pope, she would be able to support him even better.
"Uh—"
As Lingyuan bent forward,a flash of white brilliance flickered before Qian Renjue's eyes, somewhat glaring.
After focusing slightly, he quickly moved his gaze away unnaturally.
Do not look at what is improper.His voice was slightly awkward:
"Actually… it's all Sister Lingyuan's own hard work."
"Your Highness?"
Lingyuan sensed something off in Qian Renjue's tone.
Her black apricot eyes focused on his handsome face, then she lightly pressed her red lips together and smiled—
Just as she was about to step forward and teasingly reply to the respectful Holy Son—
A pink rabbit hopped nearby.
It let out a strange cry:"Gu-gu."
(Your Highness the Holy Son, Your Highness, the little brat has called over that white hair and red hair…)
"Hm?"
Douluo Lingyuan looked toward the Soft Bone Rabbit.
She reminded in time, "Your Highness, your pet rabbit has returned."
"Mm. Looks like Nana was quite fast."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
The corner-of-the-eye scenery he had just caught a glimpse of was already forgotten—or perhaps he had grown used to it.
(Your Highness, the little brat and the others are all here.)
The Soft Bone Rabbit dashed to Qian Renjue's feet, bringing all four paws together and braking hard.
"Got it."
Qian Renjue crouched down and gently patted the Soft Bone Rabbit's head.
He lifted his gaze and said to Douluo Lingyuan:
"Sister Lingyuan, let's go over."
"Mm."
Lingyuan smiled and nodded, straightened her clothes, and walked after him.
...
On the training field—
Three figures of similar height were standing there, all wearing the silver-white uniforms of the Spirit Academy.
Hu Liena, with short orange hair, had her hands on her hips—apparently scolding the other two.
One of them looked very similar to Hu Liena, handsome in appearance with pale skin.
Red pupils, short silver hair—the ends fading into red, with red butterfly patterns at the corners of his eyes.
Watching his sister lay down rules over and over, his eyes carried a gentle expression.
This was Hu Liena's biological brother—Xie Yue, who possessed the top-tier strong-attack-type and agility-attack-type tool spirit, the Moon Blade.
"Brother, be serious. Senior Brother is coming any moment."
Hu Liena frowned, glaring at Xie Yue.
She didn't know why Qian Renjue suddenly asked to see her brother and Yan.
But performing well couldn't be wrong.Maybe Senior Brother planned to favor them? After all, they were rare talents of Spirit Academy.
Thinking this,Hu Liena glared sideways at the red-haired youth.
"And you, Yan! Stand straight, don't embarrass yourself!"
"Got it, Nana."
Yan's appearance was fairly ordinary, but his build was extremely robust.
Under his fiery red long hair, even his eyes were a dark red, and his whole body bore flame-like markings.
He answered, then glanced helplessly at Xie Yue.
"Heh."
Xie Yue chuckled.
He too was curious—the Holy Son whom his sister mentioned so often,what exactly did he look like, and how strong was he?
"Senior Brother!"
Focusing on the approaching figures, Hu Liena quickly spotted the golden silhouette.
She cried out sweetly and raised her hand, waving repeatedly.
"Senior Brother, Nana is here!"
Seeing her movements, Xie Yue and Yan both turned their gazes in the same direction.
At first glance—they only felt that he was outstandingly handsome, noble yet somehow ordinary, with a very approachable aura.
They didn't know whether it was because of his status—
They couldn't perceive his actual strength, yet felt he was unfathomable.
Very soon—
Qian Renjue had walked up to them.
Through the Eyes of Insight, the two men's soul power levels had nowhere to hide.
"Xie Yue, Yan—greetings to Your Highness the Holy Son!"
Without needing Hu Liena to say anything, both Xie Yue and Yan dropped to one knee.
"Level twenty-four. Not bad. Stand."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
Douluo Lingyuan stood close behind him, looking at these two lucky youths.
Pills refined from immortal herbs were extremely limited.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xie Yue and Yan thanked him and rose.
They observed the mysterious Holy Son of Spirit Hall with curiosity.
Hu Liena joyfully wrapped herself around Qian Renjue's arm.
She said sweetly, "Senior Brother… what did you call my brother and Yan for?"
Qian Renjue freed one hand and rubbed Hu Liena's silky hair.
Examining the two youths before him—
He smiled, "Didn't I say earlier that I brought you gifts? They have some too."
"Gifts?"
Hu Liena blinked, suddenly remembering.
With time passing—almost a month—she had nearly forgotten about this thanks to Qian Renjue's company.
But Xie Yue and Yan were confused.
This was their first time meeting the Holy Son—why would he prepare gifts for them?
Hu Liena also didn't understand.
"Why would Senior Brother prepare gifts for my brother?"
"Of course because you are young, talented, and your backgrounds are clean and verifiable."
Qian Renjue spoke without hesitation.
They were all from orphanages; there was no need to question their loyalty.
"Alright, Nana, I'll keep it short."
Qian Renjue gently pinched Hu Liena's chin, stopping her from interrupting.
He looked at Yan and Xie Yue.
"The reason I called you here is actually simple."
"And that is—to cultivate you, to raise your cultivation and talent to a higher level, so that you can better protect the glory of Spirit Hall!"
"I wonder if you are willing?"
Qian Renjue put away the smile on his face.His voice deepened.
His powerful cultivation and spiritual force—made his words carry an indescribable pressure.
Douluo Lingyuan's raised fingertips slowly lowered.Seeing Qian Renjue, her eyes were filled with trust.
It seemed she had worried too much—His Highness could handle it.
Xie Yue and Yan's expressions changed slightly.Looking at Qian Renjue, their red eyes held traces of shock—
Pressure!
Stronger than even the Soul King-level teachers of the academy!
How old was he?!
Thud!
Hu Liena reacted faster than anyone.
She immediately dropped to one knee.
"Nana is willing—Hu Liena is willing to swear loyalty to Senior Brother unto death!"
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow.
He shot her an annoyed glance.
Xie Yue and Yan finally reacted and hurriedly followed suit, kneeling together.
"Xie Yue is willing to swear loyalty to Spirit Hall unto death!"
"Yan vows to live and die with Spirit Hall!"
May all of you live well!
