Chapter 199

What happened today was somewhat magical.

Shu Yan had thought about what Qian Gu Yueyin looked like under her cold and arrogant shell, but after really knowing it, he couldn't help but tsk tsk in wonder.

After sending the women away in the afternoon, an old man in a silver robe appeared in front of Shu Yan.

The old man's aura was solid, his eyes were bright, and his snow-white beard and hair proved that his age was already quite old, but the blood in his body was still sufficient, obviously far from the time of falling.

This old man was named Zheng Lin, martial soul Diamond Turtle King, and his title was Diamond. He was also a worshiper of the Star Luo Royal Worshiper Hall, with a soul power level of 93. He was an old-fashioned powerhouse among the many Title Douluos belonging to the Star Luo Empire who was extremely good at defense and power. In terms of seniority, the Great Power Douluo Cheng Gang even had to call him teacher.

The old man bowed to Shu Yan and then said: "Young Master, all arrangements for this trip have been properly made."

Shu Yan nodded and then said: "I'm sorry to trouble Elder Zheng this time. The duration of this experience is not long, at most only two or three months. Unless it is a life-and-death crisis, you don't need to take action. I think Jiujiu has already told you all the details, so I won't say any more nonsense."

Zheng Lin also nodded. After saying goodbye to Shu Yan, he disappeared in front of his eyes and followed behind the women in secret.

Shu Yan looked at the direction everyone left, not knowing what he was thinking. Before long, a figure in a golden long dress walked out of the hall and then came to Shu Yan's side.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?"

A year had passed, and Tian Ling had matured a bit more. Her figure was becoming fuller, which made Qian Gu Yueyin, who was somewhat "underdeveloped," envious and gnashing her teeth. Even Luo Qinghan, who was always cold, couldn't help but glance a few more times occasionally.

"Nothing, there are still a few months left until the next Soul Master Grand Competition. Recently, the entire Star Luo Empire has begun to prepare for its arrival. Especially Star Luo City, it has made me feel a bit uneasy for a long time."

Shu Yan replied casually.

A grand event every twenty years, not only Xu Jiawei, who was busy with government affairs, but even Xu Jiawei attached great importance to it. The huge national machine was moving for it. It was clear that this time the Star Luo National Academy team would defeat all other academy teams in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Soul Fighting Competition was inevitable. The glory that Shrek had maintained for ten thousand years would be cut off here. Think about it, how much shock this news would cause on the continent.

Speaking of this, even Shu Yan couldn't help but look forward to it.

Tian Ling said "oh," then gently hugged Shu Yan's arm. The terrifying softness immediately wrapped Shu Yan's arm in it. Then, Tian Ling continued: "Boss, tell you a good news. In the past year, our chamber of commerce's business has spread throughout the Star Luo Empire, and even on those islands in the south, there are our caravans. If there are no accidents, give me another period of time, and the markets of Heaven Soul and Dou Ling can also be excavated. At that time, the annual turnover of the chamber of commerce will really be an astronomical figure."

When saying this, Tian Ling's expression was excited, and the light in her eyes flickered. Obviously, she really fell in love with doing business.

"It's easy to talk about Star Luo, even if you poke a hole in the sky, I can save you back. Be careful in the other two empires. By the way, if possible, you can try to communicate with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Shu Yan gave an instruction.

Tian Ling keenly captured the key point, but she didn't say anything more, just remembered this matter seriously in her heart.

... After being served by Tian Ling for a beautiful nap, Shu Yan returned to the Princess Mansion.

Today, the best friends Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo rarely came to visit. Ruan Qinyu, who was on vacation, was entertaining them. Because Dugu Yan, the big maid, went to experience, the mansion's maid manager was temporarily replaced by a sweet-faced girl. However, they were all old people in the mansion, and they did things perfectly in all aspects and were very popular.

Speaking of these best friends, ever since they completed their graduation assessment at Shrek, they came to Star Luo City to cultivate in peace. Except for occasionally coming to the Princess Mansion to sit, they basically went out to travel or cultivate at other times.

When they were at Shrek Academy, they tacitly hid everything about soul spirits. Regarding the decision of the two to leave the academy, although many Sea God Pavilion elders were dissatisfied, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En was still there, so it was just delayed for a few days, and no accidents occurred.

Han Ruoruo didn't feel anything about leaving school. The Sea God Pavilion elders were at most somewhat regretful about her departure.

And Zhang Lexuan's mood during that time was quite complicated. Many Sea God Pavilion elders jointly retained her status as a candidate for the Sea God Pavilion, and Dragon God Douluo Mu En did not change it.

From the successor of the Sea God Pavilion Master to a candidate for the Sea God Pavilion, from the moment she had the idea of leaving the academy, she was destined not to become the Sea God Pavilion Master, and Zhang Lexuan also saw through that status as a candidate for the Sea God Pavilion.

Her feelings for Shrek Academy could not be faked. Many elders watched her grow up. They might not have deep feelings for her like Elder Mu, but they were also incomparably clear about her character. Such a title was invisibly a reminder to her, making her remember at all times that she was a Shrek person.

Zhang Lexuan didn't know what to think about this. Those elders should understand that even without such a title, she still had feelings for Shrek, but forcing such a title on her...

However, the days in Star Luo City were comfortable. She and Han Ruoruo soon adapted to the clothing and customs of the southern country. Occasionally, when they were free, Shu Yan would come to find them to practice. The sisters joined forces and could fight Shu Yan heartily. For Zhang Lexuan, this kind of day was undoubtedly excellent.

On the other side, Ruan Qinyu was smiling and holding Han Ruoruo's hand to chat. She knew Han Ruoruo's feelings for Shu Yan, so when treating Han Ruoruo, her attitude was more gentle, although she was originally a gentle woman.

Seeing Shu Yan return, Ruan Qinyu waved her hand, signaled Shu Yan to sit down, and then said: "A-Yan, your father asked me to tell you to go to Elder Han's side today. The things you want to do seem to have been done."

Shu Yan's expression was gentle, and the smile on his face made people not see any coldness at all. In front of family or close companions, his expression and attitude would naturally ease a lot.

"I know, Mom, I will go over later."

Ruan Qinyu smiled and nodded. Life now was too beautiful for her. Family reunion, comfortable life, everything was like a beautiful dream that one didn't want to wake up from.

After chatting for a few words, Ruan Qinyu excused herself to cook for everyone personally and left the hall. Before leaving, she quietly gave Shu Yan an encouraging look. Her daughter was not interested in finding a partner to continue the bloodline. No way, she and her husband were not young anymore, and everyone wanted to hold grandchildren. She understood the truth that the more powerful the martial soul bloodline, the more difficult it was to conceive offspring. This, she could only pin her hopes on quantity. Maybe one day she would get her wish? But thinking of this, Ruan Qinyu still felt a little sorry for Xu Jiujiu. If possible, she hoped that Shu Yan's first child would be Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu's. This was not only her expectation, but also Shu Yan's expectation. Sometimes she was indeed annoyed by Shu Yan's affection, and felt that Xu Jiujiu had been wronged.

However, Xu Jiujiu herself didn't have any such thoughts. Shu Yan and Ruan Qinyu's favoritism toward her sometimes even made her feel troubled. With her powerful physical fitness, after being tossed by Shu Yan all night, she had to recover for a day to walk steadily. Sometimes she even felt lucky that if it weren't for Ling Luochen and the others sharing the pressure, she was really afraid that one day she would be dragged by Shu Yan and loved so much that she would lose her mind, which would be really shameful...
