Time flowed by.
In the following two years.
Qian Renjue's life was still confined to Wuhun City.
What was different from the past was that.
As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he had other things to do.
After cultivating a small batch of alchemists.
Relying on his extensive knowledge, unfathomable strength, excellent appearance, and gentle temperament.
He gained a large number of supporters within the Spirit Hall Academy.
Hu Liena, as his junior sister.
Naturally took Xie Yue and Yan to become the head fans of the Holy Son.
Sweeping away the female students surrounding Qian Renjue.
At the same time.
When Qian Renjue was thirteen years old.
He initially showed his talent at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament held every five years.
Participating was of course impossible.
It was just under Bibi Dong's instruction.
That he became the leader of the Spirit Hall team through absolute strength.
And faced the public in this capacity.
After that.
At the end of the Soul Master Competition.
Through a joint resolution of the Papal Palace and the Elder Hall.
An Alchemy Hall was established, with Qian Renjue as the Hall Master and Ling Yuan as the Deputy Hall Master.
To fully manage alchemy matters.
And a small amount of cheap pills were sold on the spot at high prices.
All of this.
Was to build momentum for Qian Renjue in front of the major forces and increase the gold content of his title as Holy Son.
In the following time.
Qian Renjue disappeared from the sight of the major forces like a flash in the pan.
Except for a small amount of high-priced, inferior pills that flowed out.
Which would occasionally make people think of him.
But it was only limited to the high-level officials of various forces.
As for Ye Lingling.
After listening to Bibi Dong's advice, Qian Renjue.
Was still paying attention to Ye Lingling's situation through Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue.
Even if he wanted to see her.
Bibi Dong would not easily let Qian Renjue leave.
According to Dugu Yan's letter.
Ye Lingling already knew that Dugu Yan was arranged by Qian Renjue.
And had also inquired about Qian Renjue's affairs.
Dugu Yan was also very clever.
Sharing Ye Lingling's various preferences with Qian Renjue from time to time.
However.
There seemed to be a lot of repeated content.
……
Tian Dou Royal Academy, in an empty classroom.
Two girls snuggled on the seat.
Dugu Yan played with her purple hair, blinked her green eyes, and leaned on the thin shoulder beside her.
Slightly raised her beautiful face and said softly:
"Lingling, what are you going to write to His Highness the Holy Son this time?"
"……"
Ye Lingling was still wearing a veil.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and her lonely blue eyes carried a little bit of subtle light.
Flickering with confusion, she gently shook her head.
Her voice was like that of an oriole.
"This time, it seems there is nothing."
"Ah~!"
Dugu Yan wailed softly.
"I haven't seen His Highness for a long time, I don't even know what to say to him."
"Or, should we talk about our cultivation?"
Ye Lingling suggested softly.
"But... I already said it last time when you broke through Soul Grandmaster."
Dugu Yan sighed in distress.
At this time, Dugu Yan, at the age of twelve, was already a level 36 Soul Grandmaster.
And Ye Lingling was slightly behind.
But among auxiliary soul masters, she was definitely a monster.
At the age of eleven, a level 32 Soul Grandmaster.
"Or... Lingling, why don't you write this time?"
Dugu Yan pushed the white paper on the table in front of Ye Lingling.
Almost every month.
The two of them would put together a letter that was either short or long-winded.
And send it to the Spirit Hall through Qian Renxue.
"I won't."
Ye Lingling shook her head, her delicate voice containing stubbornness.
The letter two years ago that seemed like a self-recommendation for a pillow mat.
Had exhausted her impulse.
It had been sent out for a long time without receiving a reply, which made her suffer even more.
Did Qian Renjue want her or not.?
Ye Lingling could only guess and blame herself.
Thinking of this.
Ye Lingling couldn't help but feel a little resentment.
But she had not changed her mind.
First see if Qian Renjue wants her, and if he does, she is willing to give it.
He can have her however he wants.
Under the veil.
Her warm jade-like delicate face revealed an alluring blush.
Ye Lingling lowered her eyes, her white teeth gently biting her pink lips.
If Qian Renjue doesn't want her, then... she is also willing to chase after him.
If it really doesn't work.
Then she will also pass on this brand new Nine Heart Begonia.
"Okay."
Dugu Yan curled her lips and nodded as usual.
She couldn't write it out because she had nothing to say.
But Ye Lingling wanted to say something, but she just didn't want to write it out.
"Eh? Lingling, are you feeling unwell?"
Dugu Yan's forehead suddenly touched a bit of heat.
She couldn't help but sit up and look at Ye Lingling's pretty face under the veil.
"No, I'm not feeling unwell."
Ye Lingling quickly shook her head.
Her delicate hands grabbed the pink skirt on her soft thighs, not daring to reveal her thoughts.
"Oh, right!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed.
Unable to care about Ye Lingling's abnormality, she seemed to have thought of something and said in surprise:
"Lingling, do you still remember the self-portrait that His Highness gave me?"
"Self-portrait?"
Ye Lingling was stunned.
She quickly understood, her eyes sparkling and flashing with light.
"Yanzi, do you mean..."
Before Ye Lingling could finish speaking.
Dugu Yan excitedly took over the words.
"That's right! Let's also send our own portraits to His Highness the Holy Son."
"This is good."
Ye Lingling pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
"Then let's go, find a good place, and take off our veils..."
Dugu Yan stood up excitedly, pulling Ye Lingling towards the outside of the classroom.
"Yanzi, slow down."
Just out of the classroom.
Ye Lingling's eyes habitually became numb and expressionless.
The breeze brushed her face, and the light gauze fluttered.
Thinking of Qian Renjue.
Ye Lingling's beautiful face showed a different color, and she said softly to Dugu Yan:
"Yanzi, I don't want to take off my veil now."
"Why?"
Dugu Yan turned her head and asked in confusion.
"……"
Ye Lingling did not answer.
She just didn't want to show her true face in the form of a portrait, it seemed not good enough.
……
Wuhun City.
In front of the Hall of Offerings on the top of the mountain.
A pink and white meatball kept jumping, flirting with flowers and attracting butterflies.
From time to time, it made cheerful cries.
"Silly rabbit, come over here quickly."
A clear voice sounded.
The sunlight seemed to gather in front of the Hall of Offerings with the footsteps of the person who came.
As the golden figure slowly moved forward.
The shawl of golden hair, as dense as a waterfall, was slightly messy and unrestrained.
The tall body and broad and well-proportioned shoulders.
The brocade clothes and jade belt perfectly set off the slender and well-proportioned figure.
"Awoo!"
Hearing Qian Renjue's call.
The Soft Bone Rabbit immediately braked sharply, rolled twice on the ground, and immediately got up.
Excitedly ran towards the place where the sun was gathering.
(Holy Son, Your Highness... Wait for me, Xiaowu, wait for me, Xiaowu.)
"Heh."
Qian Renjue chuckled.
He stretched out his hand to catch the leaping Soft Bone Rabbit.
His face was handsome and clear, his features were three-dimensional and delicate, soft but not lacking in fortitude.
(Holy Son, Your Highness~)
The Soft Bone Rabbit made a delicate and cute voice.
Lying on Qian Renjue's shoulder, its round and large crimson eyes were extremely agile.
Affectionately licking Qian Renjue's hair.
"Silly rabbit, it seems that the five years are almost up, right?"
Qian Renjue smiled and stepped down the mountain.
Straight, and full of spirit.
I wish you all a happy life!
