Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 122 Ye Wenxin

On the second floor corridor, the ghost walked towards the door, intending to absorb the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bones tonight.

"Juhuaguan boasts that this magical product is so miraculous, I want to see if it is really that magical."

With a creak, the ghost pushed open the door, walked in, turned around and closed the door.

At the same time, a subtle fluctuation appeared in his perception.

"Who?" The ghost turned around suddenly and looked into the room with a wary look.

In the dim room, a boy about eleven or twelve years old was sitting at the wooden table. A green lamp appeared in his hand, and the whole room instantly became much brighter.

Seeing this, the ghost put down his guard and asked:

"My Lord, you are going to bed, aren't you?"

"Stupid! You believe that." Lin Rong put the green lantern aside, looked at the ghost, and said seriously:

"Let's talk about business."

"You have now surrendered to me. How are you going to explain this to Bibi Dong?"

"You should know that Bibi Dong is not a broad-minded person. If you two trusted elders leave the Spirit Hall and leave her, the consequences will be very serious."

The outside world's evaluation of Bibi Dong, the first female pope, is almost unanimous in its praise and eulogy.

Whether internally or externally, Bibi Dong always shows her rational, calm, and tolerant side to the world.

But as Bibi Dong's confidant, and because of her martial spirit, she was sensitive to certain aspects. Gui Mei had long since vaguely realized how crazy and narrow-minded Bibi Dong's heart was hidden beneath her elegant appearance.

Of course, Guimei knew what the consequences would be if he betrayed such a person.

The best case scenario is that he and Yue Guan were banned by His Majesty the Spirit Hall, and like the Haotian Sect, were forced to live in seclusion and disappear from public view.

Therefore, Gui Mei's expression changed for a while, but when he saw Lin Rong's calm and composed look, he knew that he had already made plans, so he asked:
"Sir, what you mean is..."

"Everything remains the same." Lin Rong said softly:
"The Spirit Hall doesn't know that you have surrendered to me."

"In that case, then you should stay in the Spirit Hall and stay by Bibi Dong's side and continue to be her confidants."

"It just so happens that I am still in need of a spy with status and position in the Spirit Hall. You and Yue Guan are the most suitable."

"As senior elders of the Spirit Hall, you have high enough prestige and status to know most of the confidential events of the Spirit Hall. You are the perfect candidates to carry out undercover missions."

"Now is not the time to confront Spirit Hall. This is the best and most advantageous option."

Now? Gui Mei caught these two words and couldn't help thinking:
"Could it be that we will have to fight against the Spirit Hall in the future?"

As an elder of the Spirit Hall, Gui Mei knows the strength of the Spirit Hall very well.

Not counting the numerous bishops and believers, there are more than ten Titled Douluo-level masters alone.

Several elders in the Elder Hall whose soul power is between level 91 and 95, and six great priests in the Priest Hall whose soul power is above level 95.

Finally, there is the Pope Bibi Dong, whose power is unfathomable.

On the other hand, even if he and Yue Guan are included, there are only four Titled Douluo on their side. In terms of high-end combat power, they are far behind the Spirit Hall.

But Guimei knew that as a qualified subordinate, these things were not his concern, so he did not ask any more questions and followed Lin Rong's arrangements.

"Yes, sir, Ghost understands."

After receiving the ghostly answer, a faint silver-white light emanated from Lin Rong and then disappeared in the room.

"Space Soul Skill."

The ghost muttered, and a hint of envy flashed in his empty eyes.

Afterwards, he walked over to the bed and sat down, took out the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, and used the method Yue Guan taught him, first swallowing the petals and then sucking the stamens, and then entering into meditation to refine the medicinal power that was dissolving in his body.

……

On the top floor of the house is a large flat and an open-air balcony.

At this moment, a ripple appeared in the space on the open-air balcony. The next moment, Lin Rong walked out of it and sat on the rattan swing built on the balcony, swinging.

It was late at night, and the gentle spring breeze brought the fragrance of flowers to my nose. I sniffed the fresh and sweet fragrance, and my heart was filled with relaxation and comfort.

Looking up at the night sky, there is a bright moon hanging high behind the top of the osmanthus tree, casting bits of moonlight into the courtyard.

"When is the bright moon? What night is it?" Lin Rong swung on the swing, admiring the beautiful spring night, and was inspired:

"Since I awakened my martial soul, I haven't been able to calm down and appreciate the scenery around me for a long time."

"This Dian capital city is like spring all year round. It reminds me of the 'Spring City' in my previous life, which was also a beautiful city with spring all year round."

"Relax in moderation, combine work and rest, and occasionally relax like this, it will improve your mood a lot."

"It's just that the third level of my Xisui Jing is still a long way off. Sigh!"

With a long sigh, Lin Rong lowered his head and fell into deep thought. "Hidden and revealed to save sentient beings, hidden and revealed to save sentient beings."

"Hidden and revealed, what is hidden? What is revealed? How should we save sentient beings?"

As he thought about it, he had some vague ideas, but he couldn't grasp the main points.

Inside the capital city of Yunnan, a black shadow that almost blended into the night flew over the rooftops, spanning half of the city, and finally stopped on the open-air balcony where Lin Rong was.

The black shadow walked forward, revealing his gentle and kind old face under the moonlight.

"Young Master, this old servant has personally delivered the visiting card to Marquis Ye."

"Well, what Ye Wenxin said." Lin Rong said, waving his hand for the old butler to sit next to him.

The Ye Wenxin he mentioned is the heir to the title and patriarch of the Tiandou Ye family of this generation, and also Ye Lingling's father.

The reason why Ye Wenxin appeared in the capital of Yunnan was naturally because he, like Yue Guan, was a senior flower and plant lover.

No, it should be said that all the members of the Ye family have been lovers of flowers and plants for generations because of their martial spirit, the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

Historically, since the first Hundred Flowers Appreciation Conference, successive heads of the Ye family have never missed this grand event held every ten years.

Therefore, the Ye family even bought a property in Yunnan's capital city as their place of residence during the Hundred Flowers Appreciation Conference.

This kind of real estate purchase is a very normal thing among aristocratic families.

In fact, most of the aristocratic families with a long history will purchase real estate in various countries across the continent as part of their family heritage.

The Ye family's property in Yunnan's capital was purchased thousands of years ago.

Thousands of years passed.

As the venue for all the Hundred Flowers Appreciation Conferences, it is no exaggeration to say that the land prices in Yunnan’s capital city are extremely high, and very few people are willing to sell their properties.

So much so that when his Lin family ancestors wanted to buy property in the capital of Yunnan, there was no land for sale.

Even Yue Guan, a Titled Douluo, needed to rely on the connections of the local Spirit Hall headquarters in Dian Du City to successfully "get" the house when he bought it.

When the old butler sat down beside him, he answered calmly:

"We will meet at the manor at noon tomorrow to discuss in detail."

Hearing this, Lin Rong seemed to be thinking about something and asked:
"Let's meet at dinner time. I don't want to miss the appreciation meeting tomorrow."

"But, didn't Ye Wenxin ask you why I appeared here?"

After hearing this question, the old butler thought for a while and answered gently:

“Young Master, Marquis Ye didn’t ask.”

"I think this may be because your mother loved flowers and plants when she was alive. Madam came to the capital of Yunnan to participate in the last Hundred Flowers Appreciation Conference."

"And Marquis Ye knew about this, and he thought that you, young master, had inherited Madam's love for flowers and plants, so he did not ask me why you were here."

As he spoke, the old butler seemed to remember something, and he smiled and touched the young master's head, saying:

"Speaking of Madam, I remember that Marquis Ye fell in love with Madam at first sight when she was young. At that time, Madam was only fifteen years old and had not yet met the young master."

"However, because of the inheritance of the martial spirit of the Ye family, Marquis Ye eventually married a commoner woman under the arrangement of his father. After marriage, the couple soon had a daughter, Ye Lingling."

"The birth of Ye Lingling caused Madam Ye to lose her life, just like all the previous mistresses of the Ye family."

"Five years later, the young master and his wife fell in love and got married. Ye Wenxin, who had inherited the title of Marquis of the Ye family, attended the grand wedding of the marriage between the Lin family and the Du family that year."

At this point, the old housekeeper's voice was slightly choked, and his old face showed a look of reminiscence:

"At that time, the master was still alive, and the entire upper class of Tiandou City knew that Marquis Ye had fallen in love with the lady at first sight."

"Therefore, the master once instructed this old servant to keep an eye on Marquis Ye and not let him do anything irrational at the wedding."

"After I learned of the master's order, I stared at Marquis Ye throughout the wedding. Seeing that his eyes were always looking at Madam, I knew that he still had feelings for Madam."

"Fortunately, Marquis Ye knew his limits. He did not do anything out of line until the end of the wedding."

"Soon after the marriage, my wife became pregnant, but unfortunate things happened one after another."

"First, the young master died in a beast tide during the soul hunting process, and the old master also passed away when the lady was pregnant."

"Not long after you were born, young master, Madam became ill due to depression and excessive worry and went down to look for you to keep her company."

"At that time, you were still such a little kid. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so big."

After he finished speaking, the old butler's eyes were filled with tears, which flowed down the corners of his eyes, passed through his long beard and fell on Lin Rong's face.

Feeling the old butler's warm fingertips sliding across his face, Lin Rong, because of his identity as a time traveler, was actually a little afraid to look directly into the old butler's sincere gaze.

"Grandpa Yu." Lin Rong lowered his head, trying to remain calm as much as possible, and kept telling himself that it was a rebirth and that this body had not yet formed consciousness when he traveled through time, in order to alleviate the guilt in his heart.
