Douluo Jueshi: Who let him join Shrek!

Chapter 888 To Marry, One Must Be Sincere

"how do you feel?"

Jiang Ming appeared behind Ling Xiao and spoke softly.

Ling Xiao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

how to say
Cool!
This is really awesome!
This is a kind of exhilarating feeling that even a Soul Master with the cultivation of a Soul Emperor can never experience.

Even Ling Xiao found it hard to stop, and had an urge to do it again!

That exhilarating feeling of rushing blood and energy, that thrill of being the center of attention, that...
In short, it was a lot of fun!

However, after the initial thrill, a sense of emptiness will follow.

This wasn't his own skill, and the sword wasn't his either. The cool feeling he just had was mostly created by Jiang Ming. If he had done it himself, he wouldn't have been able to achieve that effect.

"Thanks."

Although he still didn't approve of Jiang Ming as his brother-in-law, he thanked him for helping him experience this kind of pleasure, based on his own manners.

As he spoke, he put down the ice sword he was holding and handed it back to Jiang Ming.

"Here, take it back."

It was visibly clear that Ling Xiao's face was full of reluctance, and the veins on his hand gripping the hilt of the ice sword were bulging.

Jiang Ming glanced at the ice sword in Ling Xiao's hand, shook his head, and said softly:
"I don't have the habit of taking back gifts I've given away. Since I've already said I'm giving them to you, just take them. Strive to one day be able to achieve the effect of the move I taught you before, relying on your own strength. That move is much cooler than what you just did! But you have to work hard; at least your cultivation level needs to be at the Title Douluo level."

Jiang Ming patted Ling Xiao on the shoulder to encourage him, then walked towards Ling Luochen.

This ice sword, along with the others from before, can be considered a gift from him to his brother-in-law.

Whether he will need these gifts in the future is up to him.

Anyway, those two moves just now had some real substance in them.

Especially the last move, Jiang Ming used his mental power. Ling Xiao could sense something attached to the mental power, which helped him comprehend it.

Holding the ice sword in his hand, Ling Xiao turned to look at Jiang Ming, who was walking towards his hometown, and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "A Title Douluo?"

With his current Soul Emperor cultivation level, it's unclear how long it will take him to reach the Title Douluo level.

Even though he reached the Soul Emperor level in his early twenties, it would still take him at least twenty years to cultivate to the Title Douluo level!

This time is equivalent to him living again!
"Sister Luo Chen, is this your brother-in-law?"

A girl with short, icy blue hair, a round face, and an adorable appearance linked arms with Ling Luochen and looked at Jiang Ming who was walking towards them with a curious gaze.

"Sister Luo Chen, your husband is so handsome!"

"Sister Luo Chen, what's the situation with your husband? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"Sister Luo Chen, how is your husband's performance in that area? Is he good?"

"???"

With Jiang Ming's hearing, he could naturally hear all the girls' conversations.

He seemed normal at first, but then the tone suddenly changed.
This is wrong!

"What are you talking about!"

"Shame on you!"

"I'm doing this for Luo Chen's happiness! I've heard that many big, handsome guys are all looks and no substance."

Clearly, among Ling Luochen's 'sisters,' there are some with whom she has a good relationship, some who are bad friends, and perhaps some who are sarcastic or unpleasant.

Jiang Ming found this situation quite normal.

It's impossible for everyone in a sect to be on good terms with Ling Luochen. People have many faces, and given Ling Luochen's aloof nature, it would be strange if everyone in the Xuanbing Sect got along well with him.

"Ahem, you don't need to worry about that."

Compared to Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen is a little less sensitive.

Even though the topic was a concern of some of her "good sisters," a faint blush still appeared on her cool face.

She hadn't discussed this matter with her senior sisters.

At this moment, Jiang Ming had already walked up to Ling Luochen.

His gaze swept over the many girls around Ling Luochen, his expression gentle, but his eyes held a faint air of authority that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

"Luo Chen, let's go and meet your father first."

Ling Luochen had told him before that besides her younger brother, her family also included her father, Ling Tianfeng, who was the sect leader of the Xuanbing Sect!

Not long ago, Jiang Ming called Ma Lingyun "father-in-law" in Tiandou City. Now that he's in Xuanbing Sect, he calls Ling Luochen's father "father-in-law." Jiang Ming feels like he doesn't feel any burden at all.

Could this be a talent?

"Ah."

Ling Luochen nodded slightly, and under the gaze of the female disciples of the Xuanbing Sect, she took Jiang Ming's hand and walked towards the main hall of the Xuanbing Sect.

As the sect leader of the Xuanbing Sect, Ling Tianfeng was currently within the sect.

In fact, to ensure that her father stayed within the sect and did not leave, Ling Luochen even wrote a letter in advance to inform them that he was coming back.

Jiang Ming had already gone to see Ma Xiaotao's father, and Ling Luochen, as Ma Xiaotao's mortal enemy, naturally wouldn't want to be left behind.

Moreover, she genuinely wanted Jiang Ming to meet her family, including her father and younger brother.

"Sis, wait for me!"

When Ling Xiao saw his older sister leading Jiang Ming toward the sect's main hall, he hurriedly followed, without even putting away the ice sword in his hand.

He couldn't bear it.

Even with a storage soul tool, he couldn't bear to let go of the sword.

The other Xuanbing Sect disciples who wanted to watch the spectacle also lost interest in continuing their sparring and followed in pairs.

As the daughter of the Xuanbing Sect's sect leader, Ling Luochen, although not the young sect leader, still holds a very high position within the Xuanbing Sect.

Of course, more importantly, Ling Luochen's talent and strength are powerful enough!
During the competition, Ling Tianfeng, as the sect leader, generously purchased many recording soul tools and distributed them to the sect disciples for observation.

This is why the people in the Xuanbing Sect felt that Jiang Ming looked familiar.

However, that was almost ten years ago, so I only have a vague impression of it.

Soon, Jiang Ming and Ling Luochen arrived at the main hall of the Xuanbing Sect.

The main hall of this sect is no different in architectural style from the rest of the Xuanbing Sect.

The entire space is decorated in an ice sculpture style, giving it a chilly feel. When ordinary people walk in, they might have the illusion of entering a deep winter.

However, this has no impact on the people of the Xuanbing Sect.

After all, all the disciples of the Xuanbing Sect possessed martial souls related to the ice element, and their strength was considerable.

When everyone entered the sect's main hall, the sect leader and elders of the Xuanbing Sect had already arrived.

As soon as Jiang Ming entered, he was stared at by the elders. One gaze was particularly sharp, coming from the center of the hall from a middle-aged man with ice-white hair.

"Father."

Ling Luochen greeted the middle-aged man, then took Jiang Ming's hand and walked to Ling Tianfeng.

“Father, that is Jiang Ming.”

Ling Luochen released Jiang Ming's hand and introduced him softly.

Ling Tianfeng had actually met Jiang Ming before; he had gone with Ling Luochen to Xingluo City to participate in the competition.

He was determined to watch this continental competition, since his daughter was representing Shrek Academy, the number one soul master academy on the continent. This was something that coincided with Ma Xiaotao's father, Ma Lingyun's, opinion.

However, he had met Jiang Ming, but Jiang Ming had never met him.

He looked at Jiang Ming, his eyes narrowing slightly.

As a titled Douluo, he couldn't sense the slightest aura from Jiang Ming!
This means that Jiang Ming's cultivation level far surpasses his!

"Hello, father-in-law."

Jiang Ming greeted him with a light laugh, his smile infectious, like that of a gentle and refined gentleman.

However, Ling Tianfeng knew that this was not Jiang Ming's true personality.

Jiang Ming's arrogance and style when he was invincible on the field of the competition left a deep impression on him.

"Okay, please have a seat."

Ling Tianfeng gestured for Ling Luochen to lead Jiang Ming to a seat nearby.

He then turned to look at the disciples standing at the entrance of the main hall, who were eager to watch the commotion, and said coldly, "What, have you all finished your training for today?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples standing at the door immediately scattered.

Clearly, Ling Tianfeng, the sect leader, still held considerable authority in the hearts of these disciples.

However, while the ordinary disciples left, some of the sect's core disciples went directly into the main hall.

Jiang Ming could keenly sense that the people in the main hall seemed to have split into two groups.

"Across from us is the Su family, the guardian elders of our Xuanbing City. The Xuanbing Sect was founded by our Ling family and the Su family together. Later, our Ling family became the sect leader lineage, while the Su family became the guardian elder lineage."

Ling Luochen's voice rang in Jiang Ming's ears, using his mental power to introduce the people in the main hall to Jiang Ming.

However, as he was introducing himself, Jiang Ming noticed a peculiar gaze directed his way.

The man looked to be in his early thirties. The way he looked at him was different from the scrutiny and subtle hostility he showed to others. His eyes seemed to hold a kind of hatred.

With Jiang Ming's current level of mental strength, he wouldn't be mistaken about this emotion.

"Luo Chen, who is that? I feel like he has a grudge against me."

Jiang Ming asked using his mental power.

Ling Luochen glanced at him and replied, "That's Su Bing, the young master of the Su family. As for having a grudge against you, he was my suitor before, and the head of the Su family also told my father that he wanted to arrange a marriage."

As the daughter of the Xuanbing Sect Master, Ling Luochen was already being eyed by many people from the moment she was born.

After all, marrying the sect leader's daughter would significantly elevate one's status within the sect.

Moreover, if it weren't for Ling Xiao later, marrying Ling Luochen would have even given him a chance to compete for the position of sect leader!

After all, the sect leader of the Xuanbing Sect has always been a man.

Moreover, Ling Luochen himself is impeccable in both appearance and talent.

At that time, Ling Tianfeng was also somewhat tempted, but he did not directly agree to the Su family's proposal. Instead, he gave the choice to his daughter.

A marriage alliance with the Su family would naturally help stabilize the situation within the Xuanbing Sect, but he still cared more about his daughter's happiness.

The Su family was quite confident at that time, after all, the young master of the Su family was very talented! He had the potential to become a Title Douluo!
Unfortunately, Ling Luochen was snatched away by Jiang Ming after entering Shrek Academy.

Under these circumstances, it's not hard to understand why the young master of the Su family resents Jiang Ming.

"Oh, so it's a love rival. Let me see."

A golden light flickered in Jiang Ming's eyes, and he instantly discerned the cultivation level of his rival.

"Tsk, he's got something. He's only in his thirties and his cultivation has already broken through to level eighty."

With Jiang Ming's current cultivation level, he doesn't need the Heavenly Eye; he can see through many things simply by using his Fiery Eyes.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he only broke through to the Soul Douluo level in his thirties and looks weak. In reality, this guy can truly be called a genius.

He's just not among the top geniuses.

The people around Jiang Ming, who broke through to the Soul Douluo level or even the Title Douluo level in their twenties, are all prodigies and cannot be compared like this.

Becoming a Soul Douluo in one's thirties means there's a high probability of breaking through to the Title Douluo level, and even a slight chance of becoming a Super Douluo.

“His talent is indeed quite good. Before I turned twelve, his cultivation speed was faster than mine at the same time.”

Ling Luochen nodded slightly.

Previously, her ice element martial soul wasn't considered top-tier, and she was indeed somewhat weak in cultivation.

But things changed later. After entering Shrek Academy and meeting Jiang Ming, everything quietly changed.

"Jiang Ming."

From his seat as sect leader, Ling Tianfeng looked at Jiang Ming.

"You and Luo Chen have already confirmed your relationship, right?"

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, Luo Chen and I have confirmed our relationship."

Ling Tianfeng asked, "So, when do you plan to hold the wedding? And how do you plan to marry my daughter?"

Jiang Ming was prepared for Ling Tianfeng's words.

After establishing a relationship, they will generally urge each other to hold a wedding, unless there is any objection.

However, Ling Tianfeng differed from Ma Lingyun in that he didn't understand the second half of the sentence.
How to marry?

Jiang Ming frowned in thought.

Seeing Jiang Ming's hesitant expression, the young master of the Su family, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but snort coldly, even though he was already over thirty years old.

"What? Luo Chen is the daughter of our Xuanbing Sect Master. You want to marry her, but you have no sincerity at all?"

This young master of the Su family is self-aware.

The young master of the Su family knew about Jiang Ming, especially the photo from that competition, which he had looked at several times.

how to say
Before seeing it, he wanted to compete with Jiang Ming and even planned to teach Jiang Ming a lesson.

But after reading it, he fell silent.

Objectively speaking, let alone the current Jiang Ming, even the Jiang Ming of ten years ago, or the Jiang Ming of the Seventh Ring Road, he might not, no, he definitely couldn't beat him!
At least, none of his eight spirit rings are 100,000-year spirit rings!
Therefore, he can only talk the talk now and cannot take any concrete action, because he knows that with Jiang Ming's talent, he was already a seven-ring Soul Saint ten years ago, and he must have already broken through to the Title Douluo level. This is beyond doubt.

With his titled Douluo cultivation level and Jiang Ming's already monstrous combat power, if he were to actually attack Jiang Ming out of jealousy, the latter could probably slap him all the way from the Xuanbing Sect to Xuanbing City!
