Ye Lingling looked speechlessly at the three of them. She didn't want to get too entangled in this matter and forcibly shifted their attention with just one sentence.
"Two pieces of good news and one piece of bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Hearing this, the three were ecstatic. Could two pieces of good news not outweigh one piece of bad news? Moreover, the bad news was nothing more than Li Qing being unable to solve their family's bloodline problem.
This was already within their expectations, so there was no bad news at all, only two pieces of good news.
If the bad news wasn't about the bloodline problem, then there was even less bad news. What bad news could not be suppressed even after the Ye family's bloodline issue was resolved?
"Let's go, let's talk inside."
Ye Tianxing didn't rush to ask questions. Instead, he pulled Ye Lingling directly into the mansion.
The four didn't choose any specific room but came to the backyard garden, which had a relatively open view. This way, even if there were spies in the house, they wouldn't be afraid of being overheard.
"If your so-called bad news is about the bloodline problem, then there's no need to mention it. Just tell us the good news."
As soon as Ye Lingling heard Dugu Bo's words, she knew they didn't hold much hope either, so she spoke frankly, "The first piece of good news is that with Li Qing's help, my problem with slow cultivation speed has been resolved."
She had thought about keeping this a secret, but living under the same roof, it couldn't be hidden.
Moreover, she also trusted Dugu Bo and her uncle.
Judging solely from their attitude towards Li Qing, it was impossible for them to do anything detrimental to him. Even if they didn't think for Li Qing, they should think for themselves, right?
"Hmm?"
A glint of light flashed in the eyes of all three, but they quickly calmed down.
Since she didn't mention the bloodline problem, it meant her Martial Soul hadn't evolved. However, being able to solve the problem of cultivation speed was indeed good news.
And it was great news.
Not to mention the current continent, even looking at the entire history of Soul Masters, there were few support-type Title Douluo. The reason was that support-type Soul Masters cultivated very slowly.
They basically wouldn't live long enough to cultivate to the Title Douluo level before their lifespan reached its end.
And now that Ling Ling's cultivation speed problem was solved, it meant she might have a chance to challenge the Title level. Even if she couldn't reach Title, reaching Soul Douluo wouldn't be a problem.
They really hadn't misjudged that kid.
Ye Lingling didn't hide anything and continued, "By coincidence, Li Qing and I completed a Martial Soul fusion skill. Although it's only a preliminary fusion..."
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Before Ye Lingling finished speaking, the three of them all stood up, all showing looks of disbelief.
That was a Martial Soul fusion skill!
Which Soul Master wouldn't want a partner whose Martial Soul could resonate with their own?
No wonder their progress was so fast.
With the factor of a Martial Soul fusion skill, how could it not be fast? Unless there was an irreconcilable hatred between them, no one could stop them from being together.
"Good, good, good!"
Ye Tianxing, who had come back to his senses, called out "good" three times, and then said, "You and that kid should get along well. You can tell him that if there's anything our Ye family can help with, just ask."
...
Time flew by, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.
"Major news, major news... Tang Hao appeared in Star Luo City seven days ago, intending to attack the Spirit Hall's Star Luo Holy Hall, but he was caught red-handed by a Spirit Hall Title Douluo."
Oslo rushed into the classroom, his face full of excitement, and Li Qing and the others turned their heads.
For over a year now.
Tang Hao had never stopped retaliating. The time and location were uncertain; he would always randomly appear in a city with a high-level Spirit Hall branch.
He would run after destroying it, never staying.
Moreover, he never lingered in battle. After destroying a Spirit Hall branch, he would definitely not attack again in the short term. As for when and where his next attack would be, no one knew.
In short, there was no pattern whatsoever.
As a result, over the past year, more than a dozen Spirit Hall branches, big and small, had been destroyed by him, and countless Soul Masters had died. Yet, the Spirit Hall had no way to deal with him.
Because those strong enough couldn't find him, and those not strong enough would die if they encountered him.
However, he might have guessed that the Spirit Hall would set up an ambush in the Star Luo Holy Hall, which was why he hadn't attacked it before. It was just unknown why he suddenly decided to do something so rash.
Shi Mo quickly asked, "Then what?"
Oslo described vividly, "Then Tang Hao fought one against two, and from the battle situation, it's highly likely that those two Title Douluo were above level ninety-five."
"Holy crap?"
Yufeng said, dumbfounded, "That shouldn't be the case. He struggled so much fighting two people just over level ninety before, how did he suddenly become so fierce?"
Oslo rolled his eyes and said, "Fierce my foot."
"He was beaten by those two Title Douluo to the point where he couldn't even tell directions. Even after exploding all nine of his spirit rings, he only managed to barely seriously injure one person."
Shi Mo exclaimed, "Damn, isn't that the end?"
Li Qing also couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. He didn't know what that guy was thinking, clearly knowing there was a trap yet jumping right into it. Did he feel like he had earned enough?
Now that he's dead, who will help Li Qing attract the Spirit Hall's attention?
Oslo smiled mysteriously, "I already said it was major news. How could it be that simple? It must have a shocking reversal to be called major news!"
"Hmm?"
Everyone was full of questions. He didn't die from this?
Oslo continued, "The cornered Tang Hao knew he was unable to fight anymore and only cared about escaping. However, before he could escape Star Luo City, he was severely injured by the remaining Title Douluo."
Seeing him pause the story again, Shi Mo couldn't help but curse, "Can you just finish it in one go?!"
"Hehe!"
Oslo chuckled naughtily and then continued, "At the critical moment, two mysterious Title Douluo appeared, scared away the Spirit Hall's Title Douluo, and rescued him."
Li Qing's eyes narrowed, "Mysterious Title Douluo?"
"Those two didn't display their Martial Souls, but being able to scare away the Spirit Hall's Title Douluo, they must undoubtedly be Title Douluo." Saying this, Oslo couldn't help but glance at Ning Rongrong.
After all, besides the Spirit Hall, only their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could dispatch two Title Douluo at the same time.
Furthermore, the Upper Three Sects were connected by shared interests and had reason to help Tang Hao, so now all parties were focusing their suspicion on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"It wasn't us. Grandpa Sword and Bone Douluo have never left Heaven Dou City and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Ning Rongrong was very anxious because if this matter wasn't handled well, it could easily trigger a conflict between their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall.
"Rongrong, don't worry."
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the prime suspect, but not to Li Qing.
Although he wasn't sure exactly how many Title Douluo the Haotian Sect currently had, those two Title Douluo could only have come from the Haotian Sect, because Bone Douluo had always been by their side.
"Brother Li Qing..."
