The next day.
Huliena, along with Yan and Xieyue, were taken by the crimson-faced Chrysanthemum Douluo to hunt souls.
Qian Renjue had the Soft-Bone Rabbit perched on his shoulder.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, the "mature" Blue Silver Emperor was preparing medicine and configuring the nutrient solution he needed.
…
At the entrance of the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
Two girls walked side by side, descending the granite steps.
Strands of purple and blue hair intertwined.
Green clothing wrapped around a budding figure, and light green eyes shone through the veil onto her delicate face.
The sound of an oriole echoed from the valley.
"Lingling, do you want me to accompany you to Tian Dou City first?"
In response to Dugu Yan's question,
Ye Lingling slightly lifted her azure eyes and gently shook her head.
Her veil fluttered, revealing a hint of pale skin.
"Yanzi, someone from my family is coming to pick me up. No need for this trouble."
"Alright then."
Dugu Yan did not say more.
After Qian Renjue left, she had become Ye Lingling's deskmate.
After spending a month together, she had come to understand Ye Lingling's personality.
Difficult to deal with!But as a maid, she would, of course, fulfill her master's orders diligently.
Thinking of Qian Renjue,Dugu Yan's green eyes carried a hint of farewell anticipation.
Ye Lingling's eyes, seemingly able to speak, subtly observed Dugu Yan, curiosity hidden within her loneliness.
She could be certain.Dugu Yan was indeed approaching her, but without any malice.
Everywhere protective, proactive, and sincere.
"Lingling, why are you looking at me like that?"
Dugu Yan came back to his senses.
Without any hesitation, he reached out and held Ye Lingling's delicate, soft hand.
Ye Lingling calmly withdrew her gaze.
淡淡道:"三皇子不是说,要挑战你么?""Didn't the Third Prince say he wants to challenge you?"
Dugu Yan raised his head coquettishly, letting out a light hum.
"Hmph! Just a brat. Only has one soul ring yet dares to challenge me."
"Trying to cozy up."
"Just wants to get the secret of my purple soul ring."
Ye Lingling nodded slightly.
At first sight of Dugu Yan's soul ring configuration, even she could not hide her surprise.
"Perhaps he won't give up easily."
"Nothing to fear. The Dugu family is not to be trifled with."
Dugu Yan chuckled confidently.
Even if they could provoke the Dugu family, they could not provoke His Highness.
"Yanzi, we've arrived."
Ye Lingling stopped, gently withdrawing the soft jade from Dugu Yan's palm.
They had already reached the foot of the mountain.
Dugu Yan looked into the distance, spotting the green-headed carriage driven personally.
Joy shone in his eyes.
He turned to ask Ye Lingling: "Lingling, where's the person from your family?"
"There."
Ye Lingling made no movement, only letting her eyes flicker toward the carriage marked with Nine-Heart Begonia.
Dugu Yan relaxed, waving lightly in farewell:
"Then Lingling, see you tomorrow."
"Mm."
Ye Lingling nodded, parting ways with Dugu Yan and walking in a different direction.
"Father, why did you come personally?!"
Dugu Yan dashed toward the Dugu family carriage.
Hearing the voice,Ye Lingling's steps faltered slightly, strolling to the carriage and boarding it.
Dugu Yan nimbly jumped onto the carriage.
"Yan Yan, be careful."
"Father, you haven't answered your daughter's question yet."
"Ha ha."
The seemingly ordinary Dugu Xin appeared slightly excited.
"Father has come to take you to the medicinal fields."
"Medicinal fields?"
Dugu Yan was momentarily stunned.
Then he guessed, excitement lighting up his eyes: "Could it be that His Highness has returned?"
"Ha ha, something like that."
Dugu Xin chuckled, pulling the reins to drive the carriage.
"Father, what do you mean 'something like that'? If you keep this up, Yan Yan will have Grandpa deal with you!"
Dugu Yan grabbed Dugu Xin's arm anxiously.
Dugu Xin shook his head helplessly, explaining: "It's a letter from His Highness, along with a gift."
"A letter from His Highness, and a gift?"
Dugu Yan calmed slightly, a little disappointed.
"Yan Yan, why that expression?"
Dugu Xin's face showed excitement, unable to contain sharing:
"After your grandfather took the elixir sent by His Highness, he has broken through to Title Douluo!"
"What?!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed.
"Grandpa, Grandpa broke through to Title Douluo? That's great!"
"Yes! Everyone gets a share of His Highness's gift."
"Father, drive faster."
"Alright! Yan Yan, sit tight, Father will speed up."
Dugu Xin's joy was evident.
He also wanted to return quickly to the valley in the Sunset Forest.
…
Dugu Yan was eager to see Dugu Bo.
He wanted to know what was in Qian Renjue's letter.
Whether there was anything meant for him.
And what exactly the gift was!
…
Ye Lingling sat upright in the carriage.
Through the window slit, she watched the Dugu family carriage move away from Tian Dou City.
Her eyes carried a trace of thoughtfulness.
In her mind, the bright purple eyes, golden hair, and upright figure appeared.
She didn't know why,but Ye Lingling always associated Dugu Yan with the boy she had seen that day.
The timing between them was just too close.
Too coincidental.
Yet the Dugu family head, Dugu Bo, was notoriously reclusive.
Whose young master was that boy exactly?
Around his waist, the jade pendant…
"Miss, we're departing now. I've already sent word in advance to Madam."
A servant's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Mm."
Ye Lingling regained her composure.
The carriage slowly moved toward Tian Dou City.
Ye Lingling did not return home every day.
But at the foot of the mountain, a Ye family carriage was always waiting.
Today, she had only come down to meet Dugu Yan.
Perhaps Ye Lingling had been too secluded for too long, and she did not resist Dugu Yan's approach.
Or perhaps subconsciously, she felt
Dugu Yan was connected to the boy with the Blood Jade, and thus did not resist him.
—
Nine-Heart Begonia, Ye Family.
Passing through the bustling streets, the carriage slowly stopped at the Ye Mansion.
At the gate,
A beautiful woman had long been looking forward.
Wearing a goose-yellow long dress, her unadorned face had not a wrinkle.
Her features bore some resemblance to Ye Lingling.Her wine-red long hair pinned up, she stepped lightly, graceful.
Looking at the cold-tempered Ye Lingling,Ye Qinshui's face carried a gentle, loving smile.
She hurried to meet her daughter.
Clasping Ye Lingling's arm intimately, she said softly:
"Lingling, why come back suddenly today? Aren't you mad at Mom?"
"I'm not angry."
Ye Lingling shook her head slightly, following obediently into the mansion.
"Not angry?"
Ye Qinshui's face showed slight curiosity and surprise.
"Could it be he sent word to you?"
"Who?"
Ye Lingling stomped her foot, lifting her gaze to Ye Qinshui's eyes.
"Nothing? What a coincidence then."
Ye Qinshui smiled, reaching to lift Ye Lingling's veil,
but Ye Lingling dodged.
