The next day, Yue Guan, who was dealing with trivial matters in the Elder Hall, suddenly received a summons from Qian Daoliu.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who had secretly joined forces with his close friend Ghost Douluo to surrender to Bibi Dong: "..."
If I remember correctly, the current Pope seems to have a strained relationship with the Grand Elder.
He was suddenly approached by the high priest...
A subtle glint flashed across his delicate, deep features. The Seventh Elder, the Demon-Slaying Douluo, who had come personally to convey Qian Daoliu's summons, raised an eyebrow and urged, "What are you standing there for? Come with me. The Grand Elder and the Holy Maiden are waiting."
Saintess...
Thinking of the silver-haired girl who caused the miracle yesterday, Yue Guan's gaze deepened slightly, and he roughly guessed why Qian Daoliu had come to him.
But that's precisely why his feelings are now even more complicated.
It didn't take long for Yue Guan and Jiang Mo to arrive at the mountainside of Wuhun Divine Mountain, one after the other.
Qian Yuelong, dressed in a white-gold gradient court dress, and Qian Daoliu, dressed in a fitted robe, were already waiting there.
"The Grand Offering".
"I have met the High Priest."
Jiangmo and Yueguan bowed deeply to Qiandao Liuliu.
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly and looked at Yue Guan, saying, "Yue Guan, you should have guessed why I summoned you here."
Yue Guan's gaze fell on the short, bean-like figure standing next to Qian Daoliu, and a thought stirred in his heart: "Is it because my martial soul and the Holy Maiden's martial soul are both plant-type martial souls?"
“Indeed. Yue Long is now six years old, and it’s time to find her a suitable mentor.” Qian Daoliu’s voice was calm. “Among the many Title Douluos of the Spirit Hall, only your Spirit Soul, the Qi Rong Tong Tian Chrysanthemum, is a plant-type Spirit Soul. Yue Long’s Spirit Soul is called the Floating World Golden Lotus. You have a deeper understanding of this aspect, and I would like you to teach Yue Long. Would you be willing to become Yue Long’s mentor?”
Yue Guan felt more at ease.
Qian Daoliu only asked him to teach this saintess; he did not register her as his disciple.
The intention behind this...
Yue Guan met the gaze of Qian Yuelong, who was staring at him expectantly. He thought of the strange phenomenon caused by Qian Yuelong's martial soul awakening yesterday, and the inexplicable pressure that his martial soul, Qirong Tongtianju, felt when the martial soul, which resembled a thousand-petaled lotus, appeared.
Yue Guan admitted that he really admired Qian Yuelong, a student who seemed to have great talent.
But what about Bibi Dong...?
After a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, Yue Guan maintained a respectful expression, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "It is my honor to be able to become the Holy Maiden's mentor."
There is a difference between "mentor" and "teacher".
The former is a typical teacher-student relationship, while the latter is a more long-lasting mentor-apprentice relationship.
Qian Daoliu nodded upon appreciating Yue Guan's choice, then looked at Qian Yuelong beside him and said slowly, "Yuelong, go and meet your mentor."
Qian Yuelong stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Yue Guan: "Yuelong greets Instructor."
Looking at the obedient Qian Yuelong, Yue Guan's lips curled up slightly, and a soft, feminine voice escaped from her lips: "Greetings, Holy Maiden. My name is Yue Guan, and my title is Chrysanthemum."
Qian Yuelong readily agreed; "Okay, Teacher Yueguan, you can just call me Yuelong."
As for why she wasn't called "Teacher Yue"... her name also contains the character "Yue" (moon), so calling her Teacher Yue would feel like calling herself.
Ah, back in the day, she was a big shot who had taken on several apprentices.
886, who also knows the reason: [...]
Such an inflated host, I want to break her inflated state.
However, thinking about the faith points he earned yesterday, 886 lay back peacefully and continued to watch the show.
Qian Daoliu watched the two who had finished introducing themselves, and finally said, "Then, Yue Guan, I'll leave Yue Long to you. Jiang Mo and I have other important matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first. You two get along well."
"Okay, Grandpa."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
The two, one big and one small, watched as Qian Daoliu and the Demon-Slaying Douluo transformed into two golden rays and flew towards the summit of Martial Soul Mountain.
After the two auras had dissipated, Yue Guan looked at his newly accepted student and, after thinking for a moment, said, "Let me take a look at your martial spirit first."
Qian Yuelong nodded, circulating her soul power and spiritual power. The flowing wind suddenly became rapid, blowing the soft wisps of hair on her forehead. The golden wing pattern imprinted between her brows lit up in the rapid wind, and a thick golden mist surged out.
Amidst the swirling golden mist, lotus petals, like crystal-carved golden lotuses, slowly unfurled in the fog, revealing lotus pedestals shimmering with purple-gold light.
As Yue Guan felt the aura of the Floating World Golden Lotus up close, his breath hitched, and his eyes lit up with a burning light as he reached out to touch the blooming Floating World Golden Lotus.
However, before his hand could touch the lotus petals, a golden light suddenly shone from the golden mist surrounding the Floating World Golden Lotus, violently shaking Yue Guan's hand away.
Qian Yuelong: "......"
Has this martial spirit been infected by the [Traces of Light]? How come it's starting to intimidate people too?
She looked at Yue Guan, who was equally stunned, and said awkwardly, "Teacher Yue Guan... this... I didn't touch anything."
Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Yue Guan showed no anger or displeasure, but rather a look of surprise:
"I'm fine. It didn't hurt at all just now. I could only feel a repulsive force suddenly appear and shake my hand away."
As she spoke, Yue Guan's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her smile widened.
"Interesting, very interesting. I've been studying plant martial spirits for years, and this is the first time I've encountered such a rare and unknown species!"
Yes, it's an unknown species.
After becoming a Soul Master, he encountered countless Soul Masters who used plant-based martial souls, including some who used lotus-type plant-based martial souls, but he never encountered any plant-based martial soul like this.
The lotus petals are gold, and the lotus platform is dyed purple, resembling a thousand-petaled lotus, but without branches, leaves, or roots. It is completely different from other lotus martial souls that have their own roots and leaves, making it a brand new variety!
Looking at Yue Guan's burning gaze, Qian Yuelong was speechless.
It turns out that the rumors the maids had spread were true; most of the current Title Douluos have some kind of personality.
After his initial excitement subsided, Yue Guan looked at Qian Yuelong with much more affection and asked in a slightly raised tone, "Yuelong, what level is your innate soul power?"
"Hmm... it's level 20."
"Level 20?!" Yue Guan's smile froze, and his voice rose considerably.
Qian Yuelong remained calm and quoted Qian Daoliu, saying, "Grandpa said that my martial soul is likely a mutated version of the Angel Martial Soul."
In addition to his status as a divine child, it's not impossible for him to inherit the innate level 20 soul power of the six-winged angel martial soul, which is the "representative of the gods."
Yue Guan and Qian Yuelong had the same idea.
As expected of a divine child!
His gaze towards Qian Yuelong changed: "In that case, you can directly obtain your second spirit ring! Not bad, not bad at all. Prepare yourself today, and I'll take you to obtain your two spirit rings tomorrow!"
He still needs to report to Bibi Dong, his current superior, about teaching Qian Yuelong.
Thinking of Bibi Dong's increasingly unpredictable and powerful methods, Yue Guan's good mood was slightly dampened.
I have a headache. He wants both of them. What should I do?
Maybe we should go talk to Old Ghost about it later.
—A side note—
Regarding the owed bonus chapters, the editor said that the word count needs to be reduced before the book goes live, otherwise it will have to be a paid subscription. After thinking about it, Mo Li decided to release the owed chapters on the day of the book's release, so that there's no need to worry about already read chapters being charged, as they will all be new chapters.
If all goes well, it should be available for purchase around the middle of the month! Don't hold off on reading it for too long, my little darlings! The pre-release data is super important too; just imagine the day I'll be updating like crazy! qwq
Also, a special thank you to "A Li's Underpants" for becoming the first patron of this article, mwah!
