Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 1431: What Do You Think, Young Friend?
"Heu Youu’s talent has been crippled?"
Guu Xinyue was shocked.
The Great Elder barely suppressed his laughter and then also showed a look of confusion.
"The intelligence from my father could never be wrong."
"After the battle at the Blood Light Cave Mansion, all eight Heavenly Talents suffered backlash."
"The other seven are manageable, with only a drop in one or two layers of cultivation. Each mansion spent a considerable price to preserve their talents."
"But Heu Youu, he is a Soul Master, naturally adept at controlling his Martial Soul, yet his Martial Soul was the most severely damaged at this time."
"His cultivation dropped five layers, and his Martial Soul was more than half damaged. The second Awakening of his Martial Soul is practically nullified."
"The supreme talent is thus lost."
"How did that little thief manage this?" Guu Xinyue furrowed her brows.
The Great Elder squinted his eyes, "That Xiao Yi seems to be shrouded in oddities everywhere."
"By the way, father," Guu Xinyue suddenly said, "since that little thief Xiao Yi could repair Lianxing’s Martial Soul in the Illusion Light Cave Mansion."
"Regarding Heu Youu’s Martial Soul, being the Young Master of the Illusion Light Mansion, he should be able to repair it likewise."
The Great Elder shook his head firmly, "Illusion Light Mansion is Illusion Light Mansion, and Illusion Light Cave Mansion is Illusion Light Cave Mansion; they are not the same."
"I’ve said, the Illusion Light Cave Mansion is a Forbidden Land, where no one can enter."
"Even the Illusion Light Mansion itself cannot enter."
"What if someone tried to force their way in?" Guu Xinyue inquired.
"That would mean death," the Great Elder said solemnly, "The previous Master of the Thunder Light Mansion died mysteriously in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land a hundred years ago, and he is the best example."
"Is the rumor that the previous Master of the Thunder Light Mansion died in the Illusion Light Dangerous Land true?" Guu Xinyue was somewhat incredulous.
In her understanding, the Eighteen Mansions have passed down through countless ages.
And each successive Master has been the strongest in the mansion, a protector god.
Due to these successive masters, the Eighteen Mansions can pass down without decline, standing firm in the Central Region for nearly a million years, unmoved by anyone.
Every mansion master is nearly an invincible existence.
Such an existence dying so strangely?
The Great Elder nodded, "Alright, later, find a way to keep Xiao Yi around."
"Leave the rest to me."
"Even though Guu Lianxing prolonged her life for a few years, variables have arisen."
"But the matter of the Blood Light Cave Mansion also has changed."
"If we can seize this opportunity, not only can we rid ourselves of the grave threat of Xiao Yi; the matter of Guu Lianxing’s prolonged life will also become futile."
The Great Elder laughed sinisterly.
Guu Xinyue’s eyes showed a trace of delight, also flashing with a hint of ruthlessness, "Rest assured, father, this matter is left to your daughter."
...
That night was uneventful.
The next morning, Xiao Yi stepped out of the guest room.
One couldn’t help but admit, the Heavenly Star Mansion’s residence was indeed extravagantly impressive.
Xiao Yi couldn’t help but sigh, compared to his usual meals out and roughing it out, plus staying at inns, last night’s rest was indeed much more comfortable.
He woke up early, intending to bid farewell, then leave.
"Young Master Xiao Yi."
At this moment, Guu Lianxing approached slowly, with a radiant smile.
"Miss Lianxing." Xiao Yi smiled faintly, greeting her.
Guu Lianxing also smiled and said, "Lianxing imagined that Young Master Xiao Yi would surely wake early and leave early after bidding farewell."
"Therefore, Lianxing also woke up early to bid farewell to Young Master Xiao Yi."
"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled.
"Little Master." Suddenly, a servant from the Heavenly Star Mansion came over, respectfully saying, "The breakfast banquet is ready."
"Hmm, understood." Guu Lianxing nodded, then looked at Xiao Yi.
"Young Master Xiao Yi, you should have breakfast before leaving."
Xiao Yi furrowed his brow.
Guu Lianxing smiled, "No rush."
"Moreover, I guess there’s someone else, still soundly asleep right now."
"If she doesn’t personally bid farewell to Young Master Xiao Yi, I’m afraid she won’t let it go."
"Miss Huo Wu, perhaps?" Xiao Yi chuckled.
"Young Master Xiao Yi is clever." Guu Lianxing nodded.
"In fact, Huo Wu is quite a good person; if she offended you in the past, please forgive her."
"It’s nothing." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"Miss Huo Wu just has a straightforward personality and a bit of a loose tongue, nothing more."
"Alright, I’ll have breakfast, then bid her farewell before leaving."
...
Finished with breakfast, exactly half an hour later.
Coincidentally, Gongsun Huowu came in rubbing sleepy eyes.
"Lianxing, and little thief, you’re up so early?" Gongsun Huowu yawned as she spoke.
Suddenly, Gongsun Huowu jolted awake, realizing, "Little thief, are you leaving?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Hmm." Xiao Yi nodded.
"I still have important matters, so I won’t stay longer."
Gongsun Huowu was taken aback and said, "You’ve been a guest at Lianxing’s Heavenly Star Mansion, but you haven’t been to my Heavenly Rope Mansion yet?"
"That’s not fair."
Gongsun Huowu widened her beautiful eyes.
Xiao Yi chuckled, "Heh, there’s no rush. If there’s an opportunity in the future, I’ll certainly visit the Heavenly Rope Mansion; it doesn’t have to be now."
"But..." Gongsun Huowu still wanted to say something.
Suddenly, a Heavenly Star Mansion family member hurried over, "Young Master Xiao Yi, the Master invites you to the main hall, please."
"The Heavenly Star Mansion Master?" Xiao Yi looked puzzled, glancing at Guu Lianxing.
Guu Lianxing shook her head, evidently unaware of the matter.
"Huo Wu, have your breakfast first?" Guu Lianxing suggested.
"No." Gongsun Huowu shook her head repeatedly, pouting, displeasedly looking at Xiao Yi.
"This little thief is just saying goodbye to your father and then will leave, right?"
Guu Lianxing shook her head, sighing.
The three of them headed to the main hall.
Inside the main hall, the Heavenly Star Mansion Master was already waiting there.
"Heavenly Star Mansion Master."
"Father."
"Uncle."
The three simultaneously greeted with a bow.
Of course, Xiao Yi’s bow was merely a gesture of respect for a senior.
"My young friend, sit," the Heavenly Star Mansion Master said, full of smiles, gesturing for Xiao Yi to sit at the seat below him.
Xiao Yi sat down casually, looking puzzled.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master remained silent, just observing Xiao Yi.
While observing, he frequently nodded and smiled.
Xiao Yi felt extremely uncomfortable being looked at this way and was forced to take the initiative to ask, "Mansion Master, what does this mean?"
"Haha." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master chuckled and said, "Nothing, just having a look."
"By the way, I heard that over the past days, my young friend took Lianxing and others on various adventures, facing numerous crises."
"My daughter Lianxing caused trouble for my young friend."
"The Mansion Master’s words are too serious." Xiao Yi waved his hand, increasingly puzzled in his heart.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master’s politeness and inexplicable attitude were obviously unusual.
"It’s good no trouble was caused." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master nodded with a smile.
"After spending these days together, what does my young friend think of Lianxing?"
"Miss Lianxing?" Xiao Yi, though puzzled, replied candidly, "Miss Lianxing is, of course, excellent."
This wasn’t mere formality from Xiao Yi.
Guu Lianxing was indeed of unmatched beauty, with extraordinary talent.
Her character was amiable and serene.
A woman like this is naturally remarkable.
"Haha." The Heavenly Star Mansion Master laughed heartily with satisfaction, "Good, if my young friend thinks she’s excellent, then that’s great."
"Uh, this..." Xiao Yi looked puzzled at the Heavenly Star Mansion Master.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master blurted out, "Since my young friend has no objections, then this matter is settled."
"What matter?" Xiao Yi was stunned.
The Heavenly Star Mansion Master smiled and said, "Naturally, it’s about marrying Lianxing to you; your wedding will be held soon."
"This can’t be." A simultaneous outcry from three people was instantly heard.
The three outcries came from Xiao Yi, Guu Lianxing, and Gongsun Huowu.
...
Second update.
