Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 223 You Should Call Me Sister! Ling Zichen's Background!
"disciple?"

Ling Zichen glanced at Jiang Yi with surprise.

How come I didn't know that Lao Zang had taken on another apprentice?
"Any questions?"

Jiang Yi looked at Ling Zichen and raised an eyebrow. Why was this reaction different from what he had expected?
"nothing!"

Ling Zichen smiled and shook his head, then generously reached out and patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder.

"I agree. Please take care of me in the future."

It seems this guy is unaware of his relationship with Uncle Zang and the others. That's even better.

She has her own pride, and unless absolutely necessary, she is only willing to rely on her own abilities to obtain the corresponding rewards.

"Please take good care of me!"

Although Jiang Yi was puzzled, he still responded with a smile.

It seems I'll have to go back and investigate Ling Zichen's identity.

"Yes, I'll have my people come over as soon as possible..."

Ling Zichen nodded slightly, his gaze already fixed on the mechanical equipment below, his tone somewhat impatient.

The transfer of her here was not just for her alone, but for the entire research team she led.

"Ms. Ling, would you be willing to serve as the director of our Mecha Research Institute...?"

Jiang Yi smiled and looked at Ling Zichen, asking sincerely.

He understands the principle that professional tasks should be left to professionals.

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

Ling Zichen patted his chest confidently, then looked at Jiang Yi and corrected him.

"And...you should call me 'sister'!"

"elder sister?"

Jiang Yi blinked.

Oh no, could there really be some Tang Clan secrets that I haven't learned about?

He had been a disciple of Zang Xin for less than a year, and spent most of his time at Shrek Academy, so he only knew a few of his fellow disciples.

"The little brother is quite cute!"

Ling Zichen chuckled as she looked at Jiang Yi's expression.

After learning that Jiang Yi was Zang Xin's disciple, her gaze towards Jiang Yi softened, losing its previous rejection and becoming more caring.

"Come on, let's go down and take a look."

She reached out and casually put her arm around Jiang Yi's shoulder, leading him toward the research base below.

Although Jiang Yi was a little confused, he still let Ling Zichen pull him forward.

"Oh right, didn't they say we have a god-level mecha pilot here? The one who fused mecha with a soul..."

"Uh, Sect Master Muye has already returned to the Body Sect to gather his disciples, so he may not be able to come for a while."

"No rush! But let me make this clear first, from now on, I'll be in charge of all matters related to the experiments."

"nature!"

The two chatted as they toured the place, and Ling Zichen quickly got into work mode.

Several hours later, Ling Zichen reluctantly left the experimental base and returned to the Tang Sect headquarters on the ground with Jiang Yi.

"Ahem! I'll be going now, Sister Ling. Contact me if you need anything!"

Jiang Yi waved to Ling Zichen and then quickly left.

After their conversation, this crazy woman kept staring at him with a strange look in her eyes, which always made him feel uneasy.

"Walk slowly, don't fall, my dear Dean!"

Ling Zichen waved to Jiang Yi, who was almost running away, with a playful smile on his face.

This little brother seemed quite composed at first, but he couldn't hold back once his mother exerted herself.

That's really interesting; I haven't met such an interesting person in a long time.

After watching Jiang Yi's figure completely disappear, Ling Zichen withdrew his gaze and took out his communicator.

"Hey, Lao Zang, what's going on? When did you take on another apprentice? Don't you want to tell me..."

Once the communication was connected, Ling Zichen spoke bluntly into the communicator.

"Hahaha! Little Zichen, actually, I've taken on two more apprentices. It's all because you're always holed up in the lab and never leave."

On the other end, Zang Xin laughed loudly, completely unconcerned about Ling Zichen's unreasonable way of addressing him.

He watched this little girl grow up. Not only him, but even Master Cao, who was in the Blood God Legion, would occasionally mention her.

"Then why didn't you just tell me directly? You caught me completely off guard." Ling Zichen rolled her eyes in annoyance as she listened to the loud laughter on the other end of the line.

Zang Xin transferred her here without explaining it to her at all, which is why she had a bad impression of Jiang Yi from the very beginning.

"Ahem... I just wanted to give you a surprise! So, what do you think of Xiao Yi?"

Zang Xin coughed lightly and then changed the subject.

He sent Ling Zichen here not only so that she could get to know Jiang Yi, but also so that the girl could have a good vacation.

The Ling family are all researchers at the Tang Sect and are the backbone of the Tang Sect's soul guidance technology research.

When she was a child, her parents died in an experimental accident.

Not long ago, this little girl stepped forward again in an accident, taking the out-of-control single positive cycle source cores into her body and saving thousands of Tang Sect researchers.

However, the cost is that Ling Zichen's lifespan as an ordinary person is greatly shortened; according to their estimates, he may not even live past fifty.

After waking up, the young girl completely disregarded her health and continued to work day and night.

This naturally made him, as an elder, somewhat worried, so he thought about finding an opportunity to let the little girl relax.

"Not bad! Better than the previous ones!"

Ling Zichen shrugged, and Jiang Yi's image inexplicably popped into his mind.

This guy is definitely different; he seems to have a special aura about him.

"Haha! I'm glad you're satisfied!"

Zang Xin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then half-jokingly added.

"You two can also exchange ideas more. His talent is far superior to mine and Lao Cao's... A fourteen-year-old Soul Emperor! Does he catch your eye?"

Ling Zichen is not young, and his lifespan is already greatly reduced. If he doesn't start thinking about marriage now, it will be even more difficult in the future.

They naturally had to worry about the Tang Clan's orphans, and at the very least, they had to ensure that the Ling family had an heir.

But this girl is very stubborn and superstitious about science, insisting on choosing the best genes.

This caused him and Cao Dezhi a lot of worry...

"Hmph! You should mind your own business first! You're an old bachelor, and you still have the nerve to worry about me?"

Ling Zichen retorted without hesitation.

Zang Xin: ...

"Okay, that's all for now, I'm hanging up!"

After Ling Zichen finished speaking, he hung up the call without waiting for Zang Xin's reply.

She put away her communicator, glanced at the Tang Clan disciples coming and going in the distance, and stretched.

"Keep working!"

She doesn't want to be some pampered wife!

She only wants to dedicate the rest of her time to scientific research and fulfill her parents' unfinished dream.

Her goal is the stars and the sea!

……

On the other side, at the entrance of Shrek Academy, several outstanding young men and women walked over.

The group consisted of eight people, led by a burly, bald man with an honest-looking face but a fierce air about him.

"This is Shrek Academy?"

The bald man stood in front of the city gate of Shrek's inner city, looking up at the city wall that was full of historical weight, with a hint of interest on his face.

This is the goal that the teacher has always encouraged them to strive for!
Shrek Academy also has the same title as them—Monster Academy.

"Crazy brother, let's go inside quickly!"

Beside the bald man, a blonde girl linked her arm with his and said excitedly.

Her beautiful eyes held a hint of impatience, and a figure that made her grit her teeth in hatred had already surfaced in her mind.

This time, I, Dai Yun'er, will definitely get my revenge!

……

At the same time, someone who had just left the Tang Clan and was riding over suddenly sneezed.

"Ah chirp——"

Jiang Yi touched his nose, thinking to himself with a touch of narcissism.

"Who's thinking of me? Moon? Little Dance Spirit? Or Little Golden Retriever..."
