Before leaving,
Ye Qiu glanced curiously at the little girl in the corner, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Such high soul power.
Ye Qiu's so-called high soul power was not compared to his current level,
but to others of the little girl's age.
The little girl looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, but her soul power had already reached level twenty-five.
The girl obviously noticed Ye Qiu staring at her.
Meeting Ye Qiu's crimson eyes,
she couldn't help but be somewhat captivated, then suddenly snapped out of it, blushing, biting her teeth, and shrinking her head.
The object she was carving in her hands was also broken.
The edge of her palm was cut by the out-of-control carving knife, leaving an inch-long wound, from which blood flowed.
The girl quickly covered her hand, pulling at her sleeve to stop the bleeding.
Her eyes were filled with determination.
"Xiao Qiu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wu tilted her head and asked Ye Qiu, looking curiously at the girl in the corner.
"I saw something interesting."
Ye Qiu smiled slightly.
Xiao Wu frowned, not understanding what Ye Qiu meant.
Ye Qiu led Xiao Wu forward,
approaching the corner where he had spent a month or so.
The girl immediately became wary, gripping her carving knife, her soul power surging.
"You don't need to be nervous,"
Ye Qiu said softly.
The affinity of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline made him harmless and approachable.
The little girl paused, her thin body relaxing.
A blush appeared on her dark face.
"Heh,"
Ye Qiu chuckled, placing his hand on her slender shoulder, infusing her with his life-giving soul power.
Warmth and fragrance wafted over. The little girl trembled, then quickly slapped Ye Qiu's hand away, protecting her small body.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom exchanged glances.
Although they didn't understand Ye Qiu's intentions, they knew his character.
He wouldn't do anything to bully others.
Ye Qiu didn't mind.
After all, he was just a stranger; it was normal for a young girl to be wary of him.
"Xiao Qiu, we should go. If we're late, our time together will have to end early,"
Xiao Wu urged from the side.
Since they needed to balance cultivation, the women naturally set strict conditions.
If they didn't complete their cultivation tasks on time,
their time together would have to end early, no questions asked.
"Okay, I understand,"
Ye Qiu nodded slightly and said softly to the confused and wary little girl,
"Good luck." As soon as he finished
speaking,
Ye Qiu, along with Xiao Wu who was in a hurry, used his divine power.
A transparent vortex appeared.
The two figures became distorted and quickly disappeared from Tom and the other two's sight.
"Disappeared?!"
The girl's eyes widened immediately, and she looked around, but couldn't find Ye Qiu and Xiao Wu anywhere.
"Alright, Xiao Tian, stop looking. This is Xiao Qiu's soul skill. We're used to it."
Jerry suddenly stepped forward, holding ointment in his hand, and took her little hand to apply it to her wound.
Although he was old and senile
, with Ye Qiu's occasional care, his eyesight was still sharp.
"Soul Skill? But why don't I see any Soul Rings?"
A look of surprise and doubt appeared in Henqiu Tian's eyes.
Indeed, Henqiu Tian was the girl's name, a name easily associated with deep-seated hatred.
"Eh? Hehe... Xiao Qiu is really kind-hearted, she actually healed your wound, Xiao Tian."
Grandpa Jerry let out a soft exclamation.
Henqiu Tian immediately looked down and saw that only the bloodstains remained on her palm.
The wound had completely healed.
"A healing-type Soul Master?!"
Henqiu Tian was puzzled; the brief respite had already profoundly impressed her with Ye Qiu's mysterious nature.
She placed her injured hand on the shoulder Ye Qiu had just pressed, and a blush immediately appeared on her face.
The feeling just now... was very warm.
"We don't know anything about healing-type Soul Masters, but Xiao Qiu is indeed a miracle worker. With him around, our old folks are both quite healthy now."
Grandpa Jerry waved his hand and put the ointment away.
Hentian pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked,
"Grandpa, Grandma, can you tell me about that handsome senior from earlier?"
"Handsome? Actually, he used to be an ugly duckling."
Grandma Tom lay in her rocking chair, fanning herself with a small fan, slowly recalling.
Grandpa Jerry couldn't help but correct her,
"Old woman, don't talk nonsense. When Xiao Qiu was little, he was quite pretty!"
"Hmm?"
Grandma Tom frowned.
Grandpa Jerry immediately changed his tune.
"Haha, Hentian, your Grandma Tom isn't wrong. Compared to now, Xiao Qiu was indeed an ugly duckling back then."
"Pfft, haha,"
Hentian couldn't help but chuckle.
Meeting Grandma Tom and her husband was definitely her good fortune.
"Speaking of Xiao Qiu, he's obedient and sensible, but his cultivation talent doesn't seem to be very good."
After joking, Grandma Tom began to introduce Ye Qiu to Hentian.
"Speaking of which, how old was he when he went to hunt for his first spirit ring? Was he nine, old man?"
"Yes, he was a little over eight, almost nine, anyway, he'd been in Notting City for over two years,"
Grandpa Jerry confirmed.
"He only hunted for his first spirit ring after awakening his martial soul for over two years? But..."
Henqiu Tian murmured to herself, she always felt that the handsome young man's talent was definitely more than that.
It was her intuition.
Grandma Tom continued,
"By the way, back then, that wild girl next to him was searching the whole city for Xiao Qiu, the two children were practically childhood sweethearts."
"Yes, that night, Xiao Qiu came to our door with blood, it scared me. Luckily, he's a lucky man, and he's grown up now."
Grandpa Jerry and his wife talked about Ye Qiu one after another.
Henqiu Tian listened quietly.
When she learned that Ye Qiu's appearance had changed drastically and that he had more than one woman, she suddenly felt a little strange.
"Little Tian, you shouldn't need to go back to the academy tonight, right? Just have dinner at home. It's rare to have such good food when Xiao Qiu comes."
...
Ye Qiu had just brought Xiao Wu back to their residence at Lan Ba Academy
when they heard the sounds of windows and doors opening all around.
"Little Wu, husband, you almost missed your chance to be late!"
Liu Erlong reminded them.
"Sister Erlong, is it really necessary to be like this? Can't you stand to see Little Wu doing well?"
Xiao Wu pouted, feeling a little scared, and glared resentfully at Ye Qiu.
"Little Wu, we agreed to keep an eye on each other, how can it be that you can't stand to see her doing well!"
Ning Rongrong argued sweetly.
"Alright, alright, everyone, let's go cultivate. Little Wu isn't late anyway, let's go in and cultivate."
Ye Qiu waved helplessly, pulling Xiao Wu towards their room.
