Chapter 272 Two People Who Hit It Off Immediately
After growing larger, the Azure Bell could no longer be called a bell in Ye Nanxiao's eyes. Judging from its size, which could cover Lan Yuning's entire body, it was clearly a large bell.
The crisp sound of bells gradually turned into a deep, resonant chime.
Strange patterns gradually appeared on the Azure Bell—no, the Azure Bell itself. These strange patterns covered the entire bell, and in the very center of the bell, a symbol resembling the character "生" (life) was flashing.
"The Martial Soul has evolved?" The Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Flower tilted its stamen slightly, a faint pink light shining down on Lan Yuning.
The air was instantly filled with the fragrance of the exquisite Qiluo Fairy Products. Ye Nanxiao reached out and touched some of it, and felt a cool sensation gently brush over his head, making him feel even more refreshed.
The Azure Bell slowly rose to the surface and began to rotate.
The long, drawn-out chimes echoed in the Yin-Yang symbol of ice and fire.
"Collect!" Lan Yuning raised her left hand towards her martial soul.
The Azure Bell instantly shrank back to the size of the bell it had been before, hovering in Lan Yuning's left palm.
Looking at the small azure bell in her hand, Lan Yuning's eyes were filled with joy, and a tear slid down her cheek.
"That's great! Grandpa, Ning'er did it!"
Lan Yuning pressed the Azure Bell close to her cheek, gently rubbing it, and whispered something.
Ye Nanxiao clapped his hands and congratulated Lan Yuning, saying, "Congratulations, Lan Yuning! Your martial soul has evolved—that's truly a joyous occasion!"
For a Soul Master, the evolution of their Martial Soul signifies a significant leap in their potential, raising the upper limit of their future achievements.
Lan Yuning withdrew her martial spirit, bowed ninety degrees to the Fragrant Orchid Fairy, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior, for gifting me the Azure Orchid! Thank you for your life-saving grace!"
The fragrant fairy shook her petals and said, "No need to thank me. The fruit of the blue orchid is a test for you. If your heart is not firm enough, or if darkness arises in your heart, your own martial soul will not evolve. So you don't need to thank me. Every human who comes to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye and passes the test will be given a great fortune by the Yin-Yang Eye."
Upon hearing the word "test," Ye Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, walked over to the Fragrant Jade Flower, rubbed its petals, and asked, "Chatty Flower, why didn't I get a test this time? Are there still any fruits from last time?"
"You come here like it's nothing, what other tests do you want?" The stamen of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Specimen stared straight at Ye Nanxiao. If the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Specimen were to take human form, it would definitely throw two mothballs at Ye Nanxiao.
"No, rules are rules, and they can't be broken easily, you talkative flower. As the model immortal herb managing the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, you should set a good example!" Ye Nanxiao smiled and hugged the three petals of the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Herb.
The fragrant, ethereal fairy herb shrank back, forcefully pushing away Ye Nanxiao's hand that was holding its petals, and said irritably, "You just want to get the fairy herb for free! You cunning fox!"
The Qiluo Tulip swayed its flowers gently, silently watching the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Item arguing with Ye Nanxiao. A pale purple phantom appeared behind the Qiluo Tulip.
The phantom could only vaguely make out its facial features, its eyes gleaming with a faint golden light, the corners of its mouth curving upwards, and its hands clasped behind its back.
"He's a really good junior. At least with him around, the Tang Sect won't suffer any losses, hahaha."
In the end, the fragrant and elegant fairy was still confused by Ye Nanxiao's words, and she shook her petals to summon a snow fairy flower.
"I have a feeling that if you come here a few more times, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well will become your backyard!" Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin said with a strong sense of resentment.
"No, no, how could such a treasure land as the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye become a back garden? You're overthinking it!" Ye Nanxiao reached out, took the Snow Fairy Flower, and then put it away in a specially made soul-guiding box.
"This will only be my personal stash of money!" Ye Nanxiao thought to himself.
First, there was the old poison master Dugu using his medicine garden, and then there was the unscrupulous merchant Ye Fox using it as his gold mine!
Lan Yuning skipped over to Ye Nanxiao, her big eyes filled with joy, her blue hair fluttering slightly, like an elf.
"Thank you so much, Ye Nanxiao! I owe you a favor this time. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know!" Lan Yuning placed her hands on her waist and bowed.
The etiquette of the Heavenly Soul Empire—is Lan Yuning a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire?
Ye Nanxiao waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, we're just going the same way. By the way, can you tell me anything?"
Lan Yuning stretched out her small hand, made an X with two fingers, and looked at Ye Nanxiao with a smile. "Of course, not everything is possible! Ye, if it's about helping you in competitions or soul master duels, then I can definitely do that."
The Azure Bell appeared in Lan Yuning's hand. "Look, although the Azure Bell has evolved, it is still actually a support martial soul and doesn't have much offensive power. At most, it can just hit someone."
Ye Nanxiao looked at the Azure Bell and slowly nodded. If the Azure Bell were to hit someone, they would probably fall asleep on the spot.
"No ordinary support-type Soul Master could get here alone. Lan Yuning is being too modest," Ye Nanxiao said, shaking his head.
Lan Yuning smiled slightly and did not elaborate on the topic.
"So, what does Ye Nanxiao want Ning'er to do in return? Let me make it clear first, Ning'er is a wanderer, and after leaving the academy, I'll be living a nomadic life. So, Ning'er doesn't have any precious treasures on her." Lan Yuning closed her eyes and sighed softly.
"Wandering the world? Could it be that?" Ye Nanxiao guessed that Lan Yuning might be an orphan like himself. Otherwise, how could a girl with such a beautiful appearance be allowed to travel the world alone?
If that's true, then even protecting herself is a very difficult problem for Lan Yu Ningguang. After all, beautiful women have always had short lives, and this isn't just due to physical reasons, but also to social factors.
"You guessed right. Ning'er is all alone now. Her parents passed away when she was four years old. Her grandfather took care of her as she grew up, but he couldn't escape the passage of time either." Lan Yuning's eyes were filled with deep longing.
"Although living alone has its troubles, and you often have to deal with parasites that seem to appear out of nowhere, it's still quite carefree."
Lan Yuning sighed softly. Her appearance had brought her a lot of trouble. If she weren't smart enough, survival would have been a big problem.
"Since that's the case, haven't you ever thought about staying in the academy? With your talent, entering the inner academy shouldn't be difficult, right?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Although Lan Yuning usually tries to keep a low profile, she can't be low-key when it comes to the results announcement.
Ye Nanxiao remembered hearing Lan Yuning's name from Jiang Nannan a few times before.
Lan Yuning put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, took a few steps, and walked to the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item that was eating melon. She reached out and gently stroked the crystal-like petals, saying, "That was Grandpa's wish. Grandpa hoped that Ning'er could graduate from Shrek Academy like her parents."
"And my wish is to become an excellent florist like my grandfather!" Lan Yuning gently stroked the petals of the fragrant Qiluo Fairy Flower, then gently pressed her cheek against it, looking at Ye Nanxiao with soft eyes.
As expected, Lan Yuning's background was the same as his own.
If that's the case, could we recruit Lan Yuning into "Shadow Stream"? An excellent support-type Soul Master with self-preservation abilities would definitely be a top-tier talent.
"Ye Nanxiao, do you have feelings for Ning'er?" Lan Yuning looked at Ye Nanxiao with a smile.
Feeling the stinging pain in his spiritual sea, Ye Nanxiao pouted. His Empress was throwing a tantrum again.
"That's right, I've got my eye on you. Instead of wandering the world, why don't we form a group?" Ye Nanxiao said.
Lan Yuning buried her face in the soft petals of the Fragrant Qiluo Fairy Plant, greedily inhaling its fragrance.
"Little girl, don't hug so tightly! You can't rub your face with those delicate flower petals," the Fragrant Fairy muttered.
A moment later, Lan Yuning raised her head, a wide smile on her lips.
"What organization did you join? A sect? Or rather, your organization?" Lan Yuning asked meaningfully.
Ye Nanxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. Lan Yuning's implication was clear: he had done a good job of keeping the Shadow Stream secret. Even Bei Bei didn't know that he held two positions. How did Lan Yuning know?
Could it be that Xiao Ye No. 1 has gotten a little too cocky lately?
Lan Yuning covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes curving slightly. "Actually, it's not that complicated. If Ye Nanxiao had extended the invitation in the name of the Tang Clan, I'm afraid the contract and all that would already be laid out in front of me. It's just a small detail. I'm just taking a small gamble."
Ye Nanxiao rubbed the ring on his left hand. Indeed, as Lan Yuning said, if he were now in the position of the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, then the contract and other documents would already be laid out, and the usual rhetoric would have already been delivered.
I did not use the contract method when I switched the identity of the Shadow Master.
Lan Yuning guessed correctly after only a slight guess. Was it a terrifying intuition, or did she deduce it from some minor details?
Ye Nanxiao secretly made a mental note of this and kept it in mind.
"The four great kingdoms have at least a thousand kinds of flowers. The florists must also have a hobby of collecting them, right?" Ye Nanxiao said.
Lan Yuning rolled her eyes and agreed with Ye Nanxiao without much hesitation. She did have the desire to collect all the flowers of the four great empires, but it would take her ten years or more to fulfill this wish on her own.
Ye Nanxiao's information and reputation are excellent. Rather than spending time looking for a patron sect to become a guest elder, it's better to find someone you know.
"Alright, then what does Ning'er need to do? Develop the sect, accumulate its resources, and wait for the right opportunity to emerge?"
After a moment's thought, Lan Yuning guessed the main task that Shadow Stream needed to do.
"Smart, then it's a pleasure to cooperate." Ye Nanxiao smiled and extended his hand, giving Lan Yuning a high five as a pledge, and the two hit it off immediately.
Lan Yuning possesses exceptional intelligence, making her exactly the kind of talent Shadow Stream urgently needs. Her goal is to collect the flowers of the four great empires to fulfill her dream, and joining a sect would shorten the time required for her collection.
Importantly, after becoming a high-ranking official, he didn't have to personally handle the collection plan.
If she could help Ye Nanxiao's sect grow stronger, then she would benefit even more in the future. Lan Yuning saw this very clearly.
