Chapter 34: Shrek People
"Ling Ling, did you not want to heal Yu Tianheng just now?"
After walking a good distance from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan cautiously asked Ye Lingling in a low voice.
Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Pei Qing quietly moved closer to the two girls, perking up his ears.
"Hmph, I didn't want to heal that Yu Tianheng at all."
"If Pei Qing hadn't asked me to help, I wouldn't have made a move."
Ye Lingling blinked her intelligent eyes, her pink lips pouted under the black veil, and she spoke in a childishly charming tone.
"Oh, our Ling Ling is so amazing! Come, let big sister hug you!"
Dugu Yan pounced, wanting to pull Ye Lingling into her embrace, but Ye Lingling was prepared. She ducked with a bend at the waist, directly hiding behind Pei Qing.
While they were playfully bickering, the three had already arrived at Dugu Bo's mansion and were just about to walk in.
They saw an angry, white-haired old man rushing out from inside.
This person was wearing a custom-made royal robe, but at this moment, he lacked the noble aura exclusive to royalty; instead, he looked very frustrated.
If Pei Qing wasn't mistaken, this person should be Prince Xue Xing!
After coming out, Xue Xing glanced at the three of them, paying no further attention before hurrying away.
"What is that annoying guy doing here? How unlucky."
Dugu Yan snorted. She was very familiar with Prince Xue Xing, who often came to see her grandfather.
Every time he came, her grandfather would help him with something. Her grandfather's bad reputation over the years was partly due to this guy.
"Let's go, ignore him. Let's go see Grandpa first and have him help Ling Ling obtain a soul ring!"
Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Lingling and, with a wave of her hand, directly led the two into Dugu Bo's mansion.
"Grandpa!"
"Ling Ling has broken through to level 30. Can you help her obtain a soul ring, please?"
As soon as Dugu Yan entered the house, she immediately burrowed into Dugu Bo's arms and began to act spoiled.
"Alright, alright, alright. A kind-hearted granddaughter is my granddaughter, and since our Yan Yan has said so, even if it wasn't possible, it is now."
Dugu Bo had absolutely no way to deal with his granddaughter; it was no exaggeration to say he doted on her to the extreme.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Dugu Yan immediately showed a brilliant smile when she heard Dugu Bo's words.
"Thank you, Senior Dugu!" Ye Lingling bowed in gratitude.
"No need for formalities. Renxin and I have been friends for many years. Since he is traveling abroad, it is only natural for this old man to protect your safety."
When Dugu Bo was young, he traveled across the continent and was seriously injured in an accident. He was then saved by Ye Renxin, and since then, the two became good friends.
He had also sought Ye Renxin's help with the poison of his martial soul, but it ultimately came to nothing.
Although it wasn't successful, the relationship between Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin remained very good.
"Brat, how about you help Ling Ling obtain her soul ring this time?"
Dugu Bo looked at Pei Qing, who was standing behind Ye Lingling and casually nodded at him, and spoke.
"Me? Help Sister Ling Ling obtain a soul ring?"
Pei Qing pointed to himself, looking at Dugu Bo with some uncertainty as he spoke.
"That's right. Although your martial soul is powerful, your combat experience is still relatively lacking."
"Brat, a strong person doesn't just rely on their Martial Soul; they also need a strong heart."
"Besides, with this old man by your side, what are you afraid of?"
The strongest Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest were only around fifty to sixty thousand years old, which was completely insignificant to Dugu Bo.
So, when Dugu Bo said this, he was quite confident.
Moreover, he had just broken through to level 92 and was currently in a state of "the sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and I, Dugu Bo, am capable again."
"Alright then, I'll trouble Senior Dugu to escort us."
Seeing that Dugu Bo had already agreed, Pei Qing naturally wouldn't refuse and readily accepted.
"Thank you, Pei Qing!"
Ye Lingling bowed slightly to Pei Qing, speaking very gratefully.
She was only a support-type Soul Master, and Pei Qing's willingness to help her obtain a soul ring was a great help.
"Why are you being so polite? We're all friends and teammates."
Pei Qing chuckled, reaching out to pat Ye Lingling's slender shoulder.
Ye Lingling felt the warmth from Pei Qing's palm, and her small face couldn't help but flush. Yet, she felt no aversion; instead, a faint shyness welled up in her heart.
She didn't know what was happening to her. She had only met Pei Qing a few times, but she inexplicably felt a good impression of him.
Perhaps it was because of Pei Qing's personality, or perhaps because of his strength.
In short, she did have some other thoughts about Pei Qing.
It was just that her personality was not good with words, and she had kept it bottled up inside without expressing it.
"That's right, Pei Qing is right, Ling Ling, you don't have to be so polite!"
Dugu Yan patted her chest, looking as if she had everything under control.
But as she patted, her chest surged.
Pei Qing glanced, blinked, and pretended not to see anything.
Ye Lingling subtly glanced at Pei Qing, thinking to herself, So Pei Qing likes Yan Yan's type, huh?
Dugu Bo saw clearly and snorted. He felt that his snake venom was not without its benefits!
Dugu Bo's mansion was filled with laughter and joy, while Yu Tianheng and Qin Ming at Heaven Dou Royal Academy wore bitter expressions.
"Damn it, how could they be so heavy-handed? This is simply too much!"
Qin Ming's chest heaved violently, panting like an ox, speaking with full indignation.
As soon as he returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he heard from several students that Yu Tianheng had been severely injured.
Rushing to the infirmary, he saw Yu Tianheng with a bloodied neck wrapped in bandages.
Especially after hearing Yu Tianheng's description, he was furious and immediately expressed his displeasure.
"Teacher Qin Ming, I lost. Even though I'm older than that guy, I lost to him so easily."
"I've already promised him that I won't appear before them again."
"Compared to him, I'm too weak. Teacher Qin, do you think I'm not suitable to be a Soul Master?"
Yu Tianheng's tone was somewhat low. After being sent back to the infirmary and slightly treated by a healing Soul Master, he specifically had someone investigate Pei Qing's identity.
Upon learning that Pei Qing came from the Crown Prince's Mansion and was the genius who had been hidden for four years, his confidence crumbled.
He had lost so easily to a ten-year-old child. Was there anything more damaging to one's confidence than this?
The other party hadn't even used a Soul Skill, knocking him unconscious with just a few casual moves.
If the other party had wanted to kill him, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even a single move.
He had been too arrogant all these years.
Yu Tianheng sighed repeatedly. He felt like a worm—utterly unworthy of being a proud Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
"Tianheng, you can't think like that!"
"You are a dragon, a true dragon about to take flight. Are you giving up after just one failure?"
"Do you want your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to be disgraced because of this?!"
"I can recommend a place to you. If you're willing, you can become stronger there!"
Qin Ming clenched his fists fiercely, the spirit of a Shrek Academy member instantly surging within him!
