Time passed.Over the next two years…
Qian Renjue's life remained confined to Spirit Hall City.
But unlike before…
As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he now had other matters to attend to.
After cultivating a small batch of alchemists…
With his vast knowledge, unfathomable strength, exceptional appearance, and gentle temperament,he gained a large number of supporters within the Spirit Academy.
Hu Liena, being his junior sister,naturally led Xieyue and Yan to become the chief fans of the Holy Son,sweeping aside the female students surrounding Qian Renjue.
At the same time…
When Qian Renjue was thirteen,he first began to show his talent in the continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Competition, held once every five years.
Of course, he did not participate as a contestant.
Under Bibi Dong's guidance,through absolute strength, he became the team leader of the Spirit Hall squad.
And presented himself to the public in that role.
After the Soul Master Competition ended…
Through the joint decision of the Pope's Hall and the Elders' Hall,a separate Alchemy Hall was established, with Qian Renjue as the Hall Master and Ling Yuan as the Deputy Hall Master.
They had full authority over alchemy affairs.
Additionally, they sold a small number of low-cost pills at high prices during the event.
Through these actions,Qian Renjue was promoted before major factions, enhancing the value of this Holy Son.
In the subsequent period…
Qian Renjue again disappeared like a fleeting flower before the major factions,except for a small number of high-priced, inferior pills that circulated occasionally.
People would think of him from time to time,but only the high-ranking members of the various factions really noticed.
As for Ye Lingling…after listening to Bibi Dong's advice,Qian Renjue continued to observe her through Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue.
Even if he wanted to see her,Bibi Dong would not easily allow Qian Renjue to leave.
According to Dugu Yan's letters,Ye Lingling already knew that Dugu Yan had been arranged by Qian Renjue.
She also inquired about Qian Renjue's matters,and Dugu Yan was clever.
From time to time, she shared with Qian Renjue Ye Lingling's preferences.
Only…there seemed to be a lot of repetitive information.
…
At Tiandou Royal Academy, an empty classroom.
Two young girls sat close together.
Dugu Yan toyed with her purple hair, blinking her green eyes, leaning on the thin shoulder beside her.She lifted her delicate face slightly and whispered:
"Lingling, what should we write to His Highness the Holy Son this time?"
"..."
Ye Lingling still wore a veil.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her lonely blue eyes held a faint glimmer of light.
Flickering with confusion, she gently shook her head.
In a voice like a yellow oriole:"This time… it seems there's nothing."
"Ah~!"
Dugu Yan softly wailed.
"It's been so long since I've seen His Highness, I don't even know what to say."
"Should we mention our cultivation levels?"
Ye Lingling quietly suggested.
"But… last time, when you broke through to Soul Venerable, we already said that."
Dugu Yan sighed in frustration.
At this time, Dugu Yan, twelve years old, was already a thirty-sixth level Soul Venerable.
Ye Lingling was slightly below her.
Even among auxiliary soul masters, she was an absolute prodigy.
At eleven years old, she was a thirty-second level Soul Venerable.
"Then… Lingling, you write this time?"
Dugu Yan pushed the blank paper on the desk toward Ye Lingling.
Almost every month,the two would draft letters, sometimes brief, sometimes long-winded,sent through Qian Renxue to the Spirit Hall.
"I won't."
Ye Lingling shook her head, her delicate voice tinged with stubbornness.
Two years ago, that self-recommended pillow letter had already exhausted her impulse.She sent it, waited a long time, and received no reply, causing her much torment.
Did Qian Renjue want her not to send it?
She could only guess and blame herself.
Thinking of this,Ye Lingling felt some grievance.
Yet she never changed her mind.
She would wait to see if Qian Renjue wanted it; if he did, she would gladly give it.He could ask for it however he wished.
Beneath the veil,
her delicate, jade-like face glowed with a hint of alluring blush.
Ye Lingling lowered her eyes, lightly biting her soft lips.
If Qian Renjue didn't want her, she would still pursue him.If that failed,
she would pass on this brand-new Nine Heart Begonia legacy.
"Alright then."
Dugu Yan pursed her lips, nodded routinely.
She couldn't write because she had no words.
Ye Lingling, however, wanted to say something, but did not wish to put it into writing.
"Eh? Lingling, are you feeling unwell?"
Dugu Yan's temple suddenly touched a bit of warmth.
She couldn't help but sit up, looking at Ye Lingling's lovely face beneath the veil."No, I'm not unwell."
Ye Lingling quickly shook her head.
Her delicate hands gripped the soft pink skirt on her thighs, not daring to reveal her thoughts.
"Ah, right!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed.
Ignoring Ye Lingling's unusual behavior, she seemed to have thought of something, and excitedly said:"Lingling, do you remember the self-portrait His Highness gave me?"
"Self-portrait?"
Ye Lingling was momentarily stunned.
She quickly understood, her eyes shimmering.
"Yanzi, you mean…"
Before Ye Lingling could finish,
Dugu Yan excitedly continued:
"Yes! We'll also give our own portraits to His Highness the Holy Son."
"That's a good idea."
Ye Lingling pursed her lips, slightly nodding.
"Then let's go, find a good place, and take off our veils."
Dugu Yan stood up excitedly, pulling Ye Lingling toward the classroom door.
"Yanzi, slow down."
Just outside the classroom,Ye Lingling's eyes instinctively became expressionless.
A gentle breeze brushed her face, lifting the light veil.
Thinking of Qian Renjue,her delicate face shifted slightly, and she whispered to Dugu Yan:"Yanzi, I don't want to take off my veil right now."
"Why?"
Dugu Yan asked, puzzled.
"..."
Ye Lingling did not answer.
She simply did not want to reveal her true face in the form of a portrait; it did not seem right.
…
Spirit Hall City.
In front of the Mountain Peak Offering Hall.
Pink and white soft bodies jumped about, frolicking, chasing bees and butterflies,occasionally making joyful sounds.
"Silly bunny, come over quickly."
A clear voice sounded.
The sunlight seemed to gather at the Offering Hall's entrance with the arrival of a golden figure.
Long golden hair draped like a waterfall, slightly messy, free-spirited.
A tall, upright body with broad but proportionate shoulders.
His brocade clothing perfectly accentuated his long, proportionate figure.
"Ah-woo!"
Hearing Qian Renjue's call,
the Soft-Boned Rabbit immediately stopped, rolled twice on the ground, and quickly ran toward the sunlight.
(His Highness the Holy Son… wait, little Wu, wait, little Wu.)"Hehe."
Qian Renjue laughed lightly.
He reached out to catch the leaping Soft-Boned Rabbit in his hands.His face handsome and clear, features sharp yet soft, gentle but not losing sternness.
(His Highness the Holy Son~)
The Soft-Boned Rabbit made a cute, endearing sound.
It rested on Qian Renjue's shoulder, its round, large crimson eyes full of life.
Affectionately licking Qian Renjue's hair.
"Silly bunny, five years seems almost up, right?"
Qian Renjue smiled as he strode down the mountain.
Straight, majestic, and imposing.
Wishing everyone a happy life!
