"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Ye Lingling frowned, showing an expression she rarely revealed in public.
"Alright," Ye Qingshui smiled.
She was always happy whenever Ye Lingling showed any emotion.
She gently smoothed the crease between Ye Lingling's eyebrows.
In a soft voice, she said, "No matter if my darling daughter is angry or not, you don't have to be upset anymore."
"What do you mean? Arent you going to tell me?"
Ye Lingling was a bit confused by Ye Qingshui's words.
The day she saw the blood jade pendant, she quickly returned home to ask Ye Qingshui
Who did Ye Renxin, her grandfather, gave the pendant to?
But Ye Qingshui didn't give her a straight answer.
"Mom couldnt do anything; and my dear Lingling was still just a child back then" Ye Qingshui said softly.
She was aware of the high status of the other party.
And knowing the stubborn and introverted nature of Ye Lingling, she was concerned about offending the Spirit Hall.
If they angered them, she and her daughter—both all alone—would not be able to bear the consequences.
"And now?" Ye Lingling's heartbeat became a little raced.
"They've sent a letter themselves."
Ye Qingshui sighed and pulled out a letter and a brocade box from her pocket.
If it weren't for their height and key physical traits, many would mistake the mother for the daughter.
Ye Lingling was simply too calm, almost too calm.
"A letter?"
Ye Lingling was now certain that the young man she had crossed paths with was the one who her grandfather has chosen.
"You'll understand his identity after reading the letter," Ye Qingshui said softly, handing the items over to Ye Lingling.
"Okay."
Ye Lingling accepted them, realizing that the mystery her grandfather left her was finally about to be solved.
"Mom, did you read this letter already?" Ye Lingling suddenly asked, her gaze probing.
After all, Ye Qingshui had a history of sneaking into her daughter's room at midnight.
Reading a letter seemed like no big deal in comparison.
"How could I? I wanted to, but I didn't have time to prepare a new envelope," Ye Qingshui admitted frankly.
She had only wanted to protect her introverted and sensitive daughter.
Even though she had been instructed not to tamper with the letter, that didn't stop her from caring for her daughter.
Rip—
Sitting at the dining table, Ye Lingling carefully opened the seal and took out the letter.
Unfolding the letter, the first lines read: [I hope this letter finds you and brings you joy.] "Circle after circle, cross after cross..."
Ye Lingling's lifeless face suddenly stiffened, her eyebrows furrowing briefly before relaxing again.
The contents written by Qian Renjue might indeed make some girls smile when opening the letter.
On the surface, it seemed lacked of sincerity.
But between the lines, there was a genuine, albeit clumsy, sincerity that made it easy to overlook because the terrible handwriting.
Especially the parts where circles and crosses covered the text, sparking more curiosity.
"Liling, how is it?" Ye Qingshui asked, her pretty face showing genuine curiosity.
As Ye Lingling continued to read the messy handwriting, her expression shifted from surprise to curiosity, then confusion.
The Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Qian Renjue? He is the.. Holy Son?
Thats it?
This was Ye Lingling's initial impression of Qian Renjue's abilities from the letter—he didn't seem too smart.
But when she recalled their meeting, under the warm sunlight, and his gentle, calm purple eyes, radiating with nobility and quiet confidence, it was completely at odds with the personality reflected in the letter.
"Was writing a letter to me is this difficult?" Ye Lingling muttered, a faintly awkward smile forming on her face.
Most of the content was covered in circles and crosses.
The content of the letter is very vague
The Introduction is vague
Vaguely telling the reason of engagement
Vague contents like "My grandpa is really tall.. "
Beyond the blurred characters, the actual content was just a few lines long.
Soon, Ye Lingling reached the final part:
[If you wish to reply, Miss Ye, you may place the letter under the red lantern beneath the tree.]
[Someone will deliver it to me.]
This part was added by Qian Renxue, seeming a bit contradictory to the earlier content.
Qian Renjue must have considered asking Ye Lingling to write back, but that part had been crossed out, leaving only faint traces.
But even with logical inconsistencies, Ye Lingling didn't mind.
Sensing her daughter's newfound interest, Ye Qingshui's eyes widened, feeling a little terrified.
Her daughter had been possessed?
Ye Qingshui stretched her neck, she want to know more. "Lingling, what did the letter say?"
"Nothing much," Ye Lingling replied, quietly tucking the letter away.
"Lingling, did you really just passed by him?" Ye Qingshui was curious beyond measure.
Ye Lingling looked up at her mother calmly. "When have I ever lied to you?"
"But just now…" Ye Qingshui still had so many questions.
What kind of person was this Holy Son of the Spirit Hall? What kind of magic power did he hold to make Ye Lingling like this?
"Alright, Mom, let's eat."
Ye Lingling put the letter away, revealing no more details.
"Alright."
Ye Qingshui became a little worried, unsure of what else to say.
Lingling had always been stubborn, and she didn't know how to express herself.
Perhaps she was still thinking about the parts of the letter she hadn't fully comprehend?.
Ye Lingling ate much faster than usual.
Before long, she bade farewell to her mother and headed back to her own room.
...
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo, after swallowing the Dragon Spirit Pill prepared by Qian Renjue, finished condensing his poison core.
The powerful medicinal strength of the immortal-grade pill allowed him to fully refine his poison core
With his Jade Phosphor Poison Skills, Dugu Bo reached the peak of Soul Douluo.
When his poison core was complete, he will ascend to Titled Douluo!
At the same time, his martial spirit will evolve into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
Amid the poison mist, Dugu Bo stood atop a large green serpent with two protruding horns, his soul rings gleaming: two yellow, two purple, and four black.
The pressure of his level ninety aura dominated the area.
"Heh heh heh, it seems I'll become a Spirit Hall Elder soon!"
Dugu Bo cackled with joy.
"Old poison, congratulations!"
Porcupine Douluo stoodfirm on the ground and cupped to him
"Senior Porcupine, can Yanyan write a letter to the Holy Son?"
Dugu Yan paid no attention to her happy grandfather.
She just received the Dragon Spirit Pill and a few words of care and she was satisfied
But she still wanted more.
"Hm?" Porcupine Douluo raised an eyebrow.
"This... we'll have to ask Miss Xue first."
"No problem, His Highness gave me a task before he left." Dugu Yan nodded eagerly, fearing that Qian Renxue might be unapproachable, so she used the excuse of reporting to work.
