However, Dongfang Jing's reaction was far beyond that of ordinary people. Almost instinctively, he tilted his head slightly, just in time to avoid her fingers.
"What do you mean by this, senior?" He didn't stop walking, his voice coming through the mask, carrying a hint of wariness.
Shui Liuli's hand froze in mid-air before she chuckled and withdrew it.
Her beautiful eyes widened in surprise: "You reacted so quickly! I'm just really curious, what does this genius who can instantly kill a Soul Venerable and easily escape from the Soul Sect's encirclement look like? And which hidden sect or great family nurtured this treasure?"
Although the tone was teasing, the intention to investigate was obvious.
Dongfang Jing remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly.
He knew that Ruoshui Liuli had just used her soul skill, and he would have no chance of dodging it.
Sensing that the other party meant no harm,
He raised his hand and gently tapped the edge of the mask, slowly removing it.
He shrugged calmly and said in a composed tone, "Senior, you misunderstand. I am not from a noble family, nor do I belong to any sect. I have only gained this meager strength because I am slightly luckier than the average person."
"As for concealing one's appearance, it's just that the outside world is full of dangers, and wearing a mask would be more convenient."
His voice was calm, yet it commanded respect.
Seeing that the mysterious young man had finally revealed his true appearance,
The girls from Tianshui Academy who had been surrounding Dongfang Yao suddenly ignored her.
Unable to contain their curiosity, they all crowded around.
When the girls saw the obviously young face, they all gasped in shock.
"Oh my god."
"So cute!"
"She looks much smaller than the moon!"
"."
Xue Wu, Gu Qingbo, Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, Qiu Ruoshui and others let out a series of low exclamations.
Even Shui Liuli, who had expected this, couldn't hide her shock. Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "How old are you this year?"
"Seven years old."
"Seven!" Shui Liuli's voice suddenly rose.
She steadied herself, her eyes burning with fervor, and immediately pressed, "Which academy are you attending now? Why don't you transfer to our Tianshui Academy? We also have an affiliated junior soul master academy in Tianshui; these girls are studying there!"
She pointed to the curious girls behind her.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jing seemed to have several invisible question marks appearing above his head: "Senior, I am male, and my martial soul is not of the water or ice attribute."
Shui Liuli waved her hand excitedly, saying without any hesitation, "What does a martial soul attribute matter when we have a genius like you? Why not make an exception this once!"
Her eyes shone with light, as if she could already see the bright future of the academy.
However, she paused slightly in her speech.
His gaze swept over Dongfang Jing, finally settling on the crucial question.
His tone became somewhat playful, half-jokingly saying:
"As for gender... well... little brother, why don't you consider it? I happen to know a highly skilled healing-type Soul Master who has considerable expertise in... 'gender adjustment.' I can introduce you to him. It's guaranteed to be painless, safe, and without any side effects! That way, you can legitimately come to our academy~"
She was obviously joking when she said that.
Tianshui College only admits female students. This is an ironclad rule that has remained unchanged since the college's founding. It is a bottom line and characteristic that is ingrained in the college's DNA and is by no means a trivial matter.
It is even less likely that it will truly change for the sake of any genius.
Shui Liuli was simply too shocked by the huge contrast between his age and strength.
On a whim, I used this method to express my amazement.
and.
A touch of regret that it may be difficult to achieve.
Dongfang Jing's cheek twitched slightly.
I was speechless at the Soul Emperor's unconventional thinking.
He quickly put the mask back on, as if only then could he gain some sense of security.
He declined clearly: "Thank you for your 'kindness,' senior. I appreciate the sentiment, but there's really no need for it."
Soon, the group reached a relatively safe street corner.
Dongfang Jing stopped and thanked Shui Liuli again, saying, "Thank you for your help tonight, senior. I will remember it forever."
Shui Liuli waved her hand casually, seemingly unconcerned: "It's just a small thing. Eliminating the corrupt and restoring peace to the city is simply my duty."
She gazed at the mirror in the east, her eyes becoming somewhat distant, and added in a soft, melancholic tone:
"No need for thanks. If we meet again in the Soul Master Competition, I hope you will show some mercy to my group of good-for-nothing girls."
Dongfang Jing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He nodded without saying anything more.
He simply held his sister's hand tightly, turned around, and quietly disappeared into the night.
Shui Liuli stood there, gazing in the direction he had left, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she pondered something.
As the night deepens,
The path leading to Tianshui Academy was much quieter, with only the students' light footsteps and occasional whispers remaining.
Shui Bing'er slowed her pace and waited for her mother to approach before speaking softly.
Despite her young age, she thinks more and further ahead than her peers.
As a Soul Emperor, my mother usually upholds justice, but she would never easily fight to the death with a Soul Sect team for the sake of strangers.
The decisive action taken tonight must have a deeper meaning.
Chapter 33 Shui Liuli's Thoughts, Mirror Journey
“Mom,” Shui Bing’er said in a low voice, with a hint of confusion.
"Why did you personally step in to help that little brother this time?"
She looked at her mother with her icy blue eyes. "This isn't like you at all."
A hint of approval flashed in Shui Liuli's eyes.
She ruffled her daughter's hair, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Bing'er, it's good that you can perceive this." Her voice was steady, yet carried an undeniable weight.
"What you can see in this world are soul rings and soul power. What you can't see are human relationships and investments in the future."
Her gaze swept over the other students who were eavesdropping, but her words were directed at Shui Bing'er alone:
"That child, seven years old, with two thousand-year soul rings, capable of instantly killing a Soul Master and escaping from an ambush by the Soul Sect. Do you think his future will end here?"
Shui Bing'er's pupils contracted slightly, and she instantly understood what was happening.
"Eliminating the corrupt ones who harm the world is the responsibility of us Soul Masters."
But offering help when he needed it was a lifesaver. This favor may seem insignificant now.”
She paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes:
"But if he soars to great heights in the future, this small favor today may forge a great bond for our Tianshui Academy in the future."
Shui Bing'er finally understood.
The mother wasn't looking at the immediate battle, but rather at the future situation ten or even several decades from now.
She looked once more at the night sky where the Eastern Mirror had disappeared.
That figure, even smaller than herself, had already acquired a mysterious and powerful aura in her heart.
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Shui Liuli's lips.
Investing in a future powerhouse is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
Subsequently,
She glanced at Shuiyue'er and saw that her daughter looked silly, which almost made her feel suffocated with anger.
Then compare her to Shui Bing'er, who is calm and thoughtful.
As if suddenly remembering something, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up higher and higher.
Shui Bing'er raised her head.
Just then, I caught a glimpse of my mother's overly "bright" smile and hesitated before asking, "Mom, what's wrong? Your expression seems a little..."
Strange? Even cunning?
Shui Liuli immediately stopped smiling and coughed lightly twice, pretending to say, "It's nothing."
He then clapped his hands at the girls and said, "Alright, girls, go back to sleep early. Starting tomorrow, the training will be doubled!"
Immediately, cries of agony filled the air.
Inside a guest room at Qibao Inn.
The warm orange light filled the room, dispelling the chill of the night.
It also illuminated Dongfang Yao's face, which was filled with nervousness and curiosity.
As soon as I got back and closed the door,
She couldn't wait to speak:
"Brother, please don't go to the Great Soul Arena anymore! It's too dangerous! With so many people watching, Yao'er is afraid that something like today will happen again."
She grew increasingly anxious as she spoke, her face tense: "Those bad guys aren't just after the gold soul coins; they want to know why you can absorb soul rings beyond your level! This time it was a Soul Venerable or Soul Master, what if next time it's a Soul King or even a Soul Emperor? I...I don't want anything to happen to my brother."
Dongfang Jing reached out and gently ruffled the little girl's hair, sighing, "Yao'er, there's a saying, 'Plans can't keep up with changes.'"
"Since I have chosen not to rely on any sect or submit to the Spirit Hall, I can only earn money on my own."
