Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 54 What? You're level 45?

"Soul Master? Qiuqiu, you're already a Soul Master?"

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly.

Xie Yue clicked her tongue, looking incredulous, and said, "Is this how all of you are with innate full soul power? Lu Si'en is level 42, and you, Qiu Qiu, are level 45. How are we supposed to compete?"

Hu Liena pouted and looked at Xie Yue, displeased, "Brother, what do you mean by this? I feel like I've been hurt."

Xie Yue nodded. "Although you also possess innate full soul power, you are an exception."

Hu Liena snorted coldly, "Brother, if you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Go sit at the children's table."

Song Liyang, however, looked curious and asked, "Qiuqiu, Lu Si'en cultivates day and night, so how did your soul power increase so quickly? Are there any techniques I can learn from?"

Speaking of this, the image of Qian Daoliu involuntarily popped into Ye Jingqiu's mind. She pursed her lips and smiled, "It was the special training set by my elders that made me reach level 45 so quickly."

Song Liyang nodded thoughtfully, "Then you must be a very capable elder."

Ye Jingqiu did not refute this, after all, Qian Daoliu was really powerful. A level 99 peerless Douluo was beyond what could be described as powerful.

Shen Qingqing knew that Ye Jingqiu didn't want others to know her identity, but if she kept asking, it would be bad if she gave herself away. So she quickly said, "Qiuqiu, it's good that you're back. Song Baiyu just challenged our team to a match with her team. We were worried that the six of us wouldn't be a match for her."

"Now that you're back, Soul Sect, you'll definitely be able to beat them all down one by one." Shen Qingqing said, waving her fist.

Upon hearing Song Baiyu's name, Ye Jingqiu's expression instantly turned serious. Since the beginning of her school years, Song Baiyu had been causing her a lot of trouble, and she even suspected that the ambush was related to her.

Now, one of the Soul Emperors has become a Soul Saint. She couldn't defeat that Soul Saint among the five, but she questioned the other four thoroughly and found out that they had no idea who Song Baiyu was.

Is it really unrelated to her, or is she just hiding it too well?

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly upon hearing this, "Perfect timing, I haven't had any real combat experience in a long time, it's a good opportunity to try it out with them."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Liena exclaimed happily, "This time we must beat Song Baiyu so badly he'll be left crawling on the ground looking for his teeth!"

Her top-grade martial soul, the Netherworld White Tiger, is a powerful offensive type. She just wanted to test whether her Netherworld White Tiger or her Soul-Capturing Bell was more powerful.

"Alright, then let's beat them until they're crawling on the ground."

……

On the way back, the group walked in front, with Ye Jingqiu and Lu Si'en at the back.

Song Liyang would glance back at the two of them from time to time, but Shen Qingqing and Hu Liena would always pull him back.

Ye Jingqiu remained silent for a moment before speaking, "Did you kill Zhang Wanhao?"

Lu Si'en didn't seem curious that Ye Jingqiu knew about this, nor did he intend to lie or deceive. He nodded calmly, "I killed him, but he deserved to die." A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Si'en's eyes.

After Ye Jingqiu finished speaking, she remained silent for a long time. Lu Si'en suddenly felt a little flustered. He turned to look at Ye Jingqiu for a while before speaking with some trepidation, "Qiuqiu, do you think I'm too cruel?"

Ye Jingqiu was taken aback upon hearing this, then turned to look at Lu Si'en in disbelief and asked, "Why would you think that? I was just wondering if this has anything to do with Song Baiyu."

Lu Si'en lowered his head, somewhat afraid to look Ye Jingqiu in the eye. "Actually, I killed Zhang Wanhao on the third day after I captured him. At the time, I also suspected that this matter was inseparable from Song Baiyu, but even at the moment of his death, Zhang Wanhao did not admit that this matter was related to Song Baiyu."

Ye Jingqiu frowned slightly. If that's the case, she couldn't quite understand it. It was obvious that Zhang Wanhao had been tortured for those three days, but he refused to say that it had anything to do with Song Baiyu.

Is it really not related?

But Ye Jingqiu ruled out this possibility almost instantly.

Her intuition told her that this couldn't possibly be unrelated to Song Baiyu. She turned to look at Lu Si'en and said, "I don't think this can be unrelated to Song Baiyu."

Lu Si'en nodded slightly. "I think so too."

Ye Jingqiu was stunned. It seemed that Lu Si'en had unconditionally believed her for a long time, as if whatever she said was right.

Where did this inexplicable feeling come from?

Ye Jingqiu didn't think too much about it. "Has Song Baiyu been the same lately?"

Lu Si'en frowned slightly, a flash of annoyance crossing her eyes. "Still the same, always looking for trouble. She's become even more arrogant since you left."

Ye Jingqiu sneered, "Now that I'm back, let me teach her a lesson."

"it is good."

The house Lu Si'en bought wasn't small; everyone got a room. Once in the courtyard, Hu Liena turned around. "Qiuqiu, your room isn't ready yet. Why don't you sleep with me tonight?"

Just as Ye Jingqiu was about to agree, Lu Si'en spoke up, "Her room has already been tidied up."

The latest novel is first published here!

Upon hearing this, almost everyone turned to look at Lu Si'en. They knew Ye Jingqiu had been away the whole time, so how could he have gotten everything ready? They didn't even know Ye Jingqiu had returned ahead of schedule.

Only Shen Qingqing had her own plans; she guessed that Lu Si'en had been tidying up Ye Jingqiu's room the whole time.

That makes sense, though. Shen Qingqing yawned and pulled Hu Liena to the side. "I'm sleepy, let's go back first. Lu Si'en knows this place best, you take Qiuqiu back."

Song Liyang was about to ask a question, but Xie Yue had already gained a deep understanding of his emotional intelligence that day. She reached out and pulled him away, saying, "Qiuqiu, get some rest. See you tomorrow."

In just one minute, only Ye Jingqiu and Lu Si'en remained in the courtyard, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a long silence, Lu Si'en broke the silence first, saying, "Then I'll take you there."

Ye Jingqiu nodded and followed behind Lu Si'en. The moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight, shining on the two of them.

Lu Si'en said, "Song Baiyu is a very treacherous and cunning person. He is best at tripping people up behind their backs. Be careful when you return to the academy."

Ye Jingqiu frowned slightly. "Did she try to trip you up?"

Lu Si'en was taken aback. "No, she hasn't provoked me, but she's caused a lot of trouble for Hu Liena and the others. But if you need any help, just let me know."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu's lips curved slightly, and she said in a gentle voice, "I understand, thank you, Lu Si'en."

After bringing Ye Jingqiu to the door of the room, Lu Si'en gave a few instructions and then quickly ran away.

Looking at her retreating figure, Ye Jingqiu was somewhat puzzled.

Family, I did something stupid: I forgot to schedule an update. It's the 26th now, but I'm posting the draft for the 27th, so there won't be an update tomorrow. See you at 00:05 the day after tomorrow!

I laughed at my own stupidity.
