Chapter 246: Haitang City

Because of this matter over the past few days, Ye Lingling had been in a state of unease; under Shi Quan's soothing, Ye Lingling gradually drifted into dreamland.

"Ameng, it's no problem." Xiaomeng's voice came through.

Only then did Shi Quan slowly withdraw his body from the arms of the sleeping Ye Lingling.

He walked out of the room and came to the main hall.

"Xiao Quan, is Lingling feeling any better?" Dugu Yan immediately went up to ask.

Shi Quan nodded and looked at Dugu Bo, "Grandpa Dugu, I am going to Heaven Dou City for a trip."

"Hmph, I'm starting to suspect you've been brainwashed by Rongrong." Sword Douluo shook his head helplessly.

"It means exactly what it says." Shi Quan stroked Ye Lingling's beautiful hair and said, "You haven't been back to your family in so long, it's time to go back and take a look."

"Uncle Sword, didn't you also want to take Shi Quan as your disciple back then?" Ning Fengzhi teased.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly and said, "Perhaps it's my illusion, but Qinghe said in the letter that because of Ye Lingling's matter, Shi Quan's favorability toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has decreased quite a bit. These three soul bones must not be of poor quality; have the sect members search for them thoroughly."

Haitang City is one of the cities with the best-developed medical industries within the Heaven Dou Empire, because the Nine Heart Begonia Family is famous for its healing, and many injured Spirit Masters like to come to the Nine Heart Begonia Family to seek medical treatment.

"Your Highness." A guard walked into the room.

"Alright, little lazy cat." Shi Quan pinched Ye Lingling's little cheek dotingly and said, "Get up, it's time for us to go take revenge."

"As for the Nine Heart Begonia Family, I will issue a warning. From now on, Ye Lingling is separated from the Nine Heart Begonia Family, is not under the management of the Nine Heart Begonia Family, and is under the protection of the Empire."

When Shi Quan returned, he had already told everyone his arrangements. Dugu Bo had originally wanted to advise Shi Quan to consider it carefully, but seeing that Gu Yuena was willing to take action, two Title Douluo, plus Shi Quan, were enough to crush a family at the Spirit Douluo level, so he didn't say anything more.

"What do you want to do?" Ye Lingling got up and looked at Shi Quan.

Shi Quan then turned and left the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

"Brother Shi, since you can help Ye Lingling's martial soul evolve, I suppose you also have the ability to help Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolve, right? If you, Brother Shi, can help Ning Rongrong evolve her martial soul, not only will Teacher not make things difficult for you, but the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will owe you a great favor."

"You are my person. What are you thanking me for?" Shi Quan patted Ye Lingling's bottom lightly.

"Your Highness, Master Shi is here." Upon hearing the report from outside the door, Xue Qinghe raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood up and walked toward the outside of the room. Just as he reached the outside, he saw Shi Quan walking in with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes.

Shi Quan said indifferently, "Since they dared to target you, they must pay the corresponding price. Xue Qinghe said the Empire would let you leave the Nine Star Begonia Family and warn the family members not to touch you, but I am not satisfied with this result. Since we are settling accounts, let's settle them thoroughly. I will take you to settle the old scores together. If you want to take back the control of the Nine Heart Begonia, I can also help you seize it back."

"Brother Shi, come in and sit."

"Thank you, Xiao Quan."

"Mm." As she said this, Ye Lingling rubbed against Shi Quan's arms again.

"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey!" Shi Quan said indifferently, his cold voice filled with bone-chilling killing intent.

"Ye Lingling?" Xue Qinghe picked up the tea on the table, took a light sip, and then said slowly, "Ye Lingling's martial soul evolution, doesn't that just further prove your ability, Brother Shi?"

Xue Qinghe shook his head and said, "Brother Shi, you can just treat it as a transaction. It is true that Teacher and the others handled this matter a bit improperly. If you have any requests, Brother Shi, feel free to bring them up, and I can help you relay them to Teacher."

"Awake." Shi Quan looked at Ye Lingling, who was slowly waking up in his arms, and gently brushed aside her hair.

"Lingling, you don't need to worry about causing me trouble. Besides, if we don't give everyone a warning this time, others will only think we are easy to bully. There is a first time for everything, so this time, I must let everyone in the Spirit Master world know what kind of end awaits those who provoke me, Shi Quan."

If it were before, Shi Quan would still have needed to be cautious, but now that he had the strength, he did not intend to let his enemies off easily when faced with their threats. Moreover, the Nine Heart Begonia Family was, to a certain extent, a knot in Ye Lingling's heart. If it wasn't dealt with now, it would inevitably affect Ye Lingling when she inherited a god's position in the future, so it was better to solve it as soon as possible.

Thus, this ecological chain was formed.

Xue Qinghe's words were enough to express his attitude, but it was naturally impossible for this matter to end so simply. Shi Quan continued to ask, "How should we answer to Ning Fengzhi?"

"Mm." Shi Quan nodded.

After saying this, Shi Quan did not linger any longer and walked out of the room.

"Thanks, Brother Xue, I have my own ways." Shi Quan shook his head and refused.

A city famous for the Nine Heart Begonia, and also the place where the Nine Star Begonia Family is located.

Sword Douluo was speechless upon hearing this.

Ning Fengzhi rubbed his head and said helplessly, "Uncle Sword, you also know that Shi Quan's reputation in the Spirit Master world is currently at its peak. Who in the entire Spirit Master world doesn't want to curry favor with him? Since his Zhou Tian Circulation Method was launched, his influence has directly increased to a terrifying degree. If we have something to ask of him, we have to show some sincerity, right?"

"What are you planning to do, Brother Shi?" Xue Qinghe asked, looking at Shi Quan's back.

Ye Lingling's face was flushed, and she took the initiative to kiss him; after another round of deep interaction.

Ning Fengzhi nodded and handed the letter to Sword Douluo. After Sword Douluo finished reading the contents of the letter, he immediately cursed, "Three soul bones, this Shi Quan is completely asking for the moon, he really dares to ask."

"Brother Xue, you should know why I came here today, right?"

"Send this letter to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and have Teacher open it personally." Xue Qinghe handed the letter to the guard.

Xue Qinghe sighed helplessly, "The Nine Heart Begonia Family hasn't done anything out of line for the time being, they've only revealed some intentions. Moreover, the internal relationships of the Nine Heart Begonia Family are complex, involving many sects and families, and the Empire has no legitimate reason to take action against them."

"Soul bones are a small matter. He only made requirements for the attributes of the soul bones, not for the location or the age. If it can be exchanged for the evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, it is worth it, but I don't quite understand the meaning of Qinghe's letter."

Ning Fengzhi tore open the letter, took out the letter paper inside, and began to read. As he read, Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed.

"Fengzhi, is it necessary for our dignified Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to go to such lengths to curry favor with a junior?" Sword Douluo said indignantly.

Haitang City is more than five hundred kilometers away from Heaven Dou City, but in less than half a day, the group had already appeared in Haitang City.

Xue Qinghe led Shi Quan into the room. Only he and Shi Quan remained in the entire room; the other maids and guards had already retreated outside.

Shi Quan slowly stood up, "No one can touch my people. I will nip all threats in the bud. I will deal with the Nine Heart Begonia Family myself. As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, tell Ning Fengzhi to prepare three soul bones before coming to find me. There are no restrictions on the age or location, but the attributes should preferably be water, fire, strength, control, or speed."

"Lingling, this little girl, can be considered half a granddaughter to me. You can go with peace of mind." Dugu Bo waved his hand.

"Do you want to go and test Xue Qinghe's attitude?" Dugu Bo asked.

"No need." Shi Quan shook his head and said, "Just in case, Grandpa Dugu, please trouble yourself to look after Lingling."

"Fengzhi, is it about Shi Quan?" The Sword Douluo beside him cast his gaze on the letter in Ning Fengzhi's hand.

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion.

Xue Qinghe watched Shi Quan's departing figure, lost in thought. Until Shi Quan had left, Xue Qinghe returned to the room and picked up the letter to write.

"Do you need my help?" Gu Yuena said indifferently.

Shi Quan shook his head and said, "Not enough!"

"What about the Nine Heart Begonia Family?" Shi Quan looked at Xue Qinghe.

The next day, the group quietly left the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena and said, "Not for the moment, but I might need to trouble you later on."

After discussing it with everyone, he returned to his room and waited quietly for Ye Lingling to wake from her slumber.

Dugu Bo continued, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

After the guard took the letter, he turned and hurried toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not far from Heaven Dou City, and the guard's letter soon reached the hands of Ning Fengzhi.

Xue Qinghe's gaze narrowed slightly, but he still spoke up, "Brother Shi, although the Empire cannot help you, personally speaking, I can lend you some manpower."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling shook her head, "Forget it, Xiao Quan. Since the Empire has already let me leave the family, let's just leave it at that for now; I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

"A small matter," Gu Yuena said indifferently.

"What is it?" Sword Douluo looked over the letter from top to bottom and did not feel there was any problem.

Because of the unique nature of the Nine Heart Begonia, very few injured Spirit Masters could receive treatment from the Nine Heart Begonia Family; most Spirit Masters who failed to seek medical help from the Nine Heart Begonia Family could only settle for the next best thing and look for other healing-type Auxiliary Soul Masters in Haitang City.

"Someone come," a moment later, Xue Qinghe's voice came from inside the room.

Ye Lingling immediately regained her clarity, looked at Shi Quan, and asked, "Xiao Quan, what do you mean by that?"

Shi Quan sneered, "Can I take that as a threat?"

Over time, Haitang City, where the Nine Heart Begonia Family was located, gradually developed; not only were there many physicians in Haitang City, but there were also quite a few Auxiliary Soul Masters who specialized in healing.

Haitang City.

"Xiao Quan, are you planning to charge straight in?" Dugu Bo looked at the Nine Heart Begonia Family with its towering buildings in the distance, then turned to look at Shi Quan.

"No rush," Shi Quan shook his head, raised his eyes to look at the sky, stretched out a hand, and whispered, "Heavenly Luck..."
