Chapter 121 Shui Xinyue's Advancement Begins
"I see. If she faked her death, why bring her back into the public eye now? Wouldn't all the work we did before be for nothing?" Richard asked, puzzled.
“Now that we have the strength to protect the family, we naturally don’t need Xin Yue to hide anymore. Moreover, the reason we brought Xin Yue out this time is to help her break through and become a Title Douluo!”
After they finished speaking, Shui Xinrou and Huo Lie released their spirit rings. Richard saw the eighteen spirit rings on Shui Xinrou and Huo Lie's heads and asked incredulously, "Dean Shui, Dean Huo, have you both broken through to become Title Douluo?"
"Yes, we've all broken through to become Title Douluo!" Huo Lie chimed in, though his expression revealed his smugness.
"Dean Richard, would you like to break through and become a Title Douluo?" Shui Xinrou asked enticingly.
"Of course I want to! Please tell me how to break through to become a Title Douluo."
"Before I tell you, let me ask you a question: Have you ever tortured or murdered students?" Shui Xinrou asked with a serious expression.
"I hope you will answer me honestly. If you have tortured and killed students, then we cannot tell you how to break through to the Title Douluo level!" Feng Tianyi opened his eyes and asked, but his expression was very serious.
Feng Tianyi and Shui Xinrou's attitudes completely confused Richard. After sorting out his thoughts, Richard asked, "Does this have much to do with breaking through to become a Title Douluo?"
“It’s very important. If you’ve tortured and killed students, I suggest you go back the way you came, otherwise your life might be in danger,” Huo Lie explained.
Although Richard didn't understand, after thinking it over and over again, he said, "In my memory, I have never tortured or killed anyone. To be precise, I have dedicated my whole life to teaching and educating people. I can say without shame that I have never done anything that goes against my conscience."
"Huo Lie, go and invite Mad Rhinoceros Douluo over. Once Mad Rhinoceros Douluo has confirmed his identity, we can bring him before the Palace Master," Shui Xinrou instructed Huo Lie.
Just as Huo Lie was preparing to leave, Ximen Kuang arrived uninvited, standing at the entrance of the reception hall and saying, "No need, I'm already here. Richard wasn't lying."
"Greetings, Elder Kuangxi!" Shui Xinrou, Huo Lie, and Feng Tianyi said in unison.
After Shui Xinyue and Richard realized what was happening, they both said, "We have met Mad Rhinoceros Douluo."
"Alright, all of you, come with me!"
Led by Ximen Kuang, Shui Xinrou and the others arrived at the courtyard where An Yue lived. In one of the rooms in the courtyard, they saw a huge statue of a god, and An Yue was sitting under the statue with a solemn expression, as if she was praying.
"You've arrived," An Yue said after Shui Xinrou and the others had all come in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Palace Master!" Everyone present said in unison.
"Enough with the small talk, let's begin! Shui Xinyue, you shall start. Now kneel before the statue and begin to pray to the Lord of Light," An Yue said sternly.
Before coming here, Shui Xinyue had been given enough lessons by Shui Xinrou, so she had a certain understanding of the Lord of Light. However, the Lord of Light was too far away from them, so far away that Shui Xinyue did not know if the Lord of Light really existed, or if he was really that magical!
"Yes," Shui Xinyue replied solemnly, then knelt on the ground and began to pray.
Although Shui Xinyue's impression of the Lord of Light was very vague, she was certain that the Lord of Light did exist. Therefore, she was quite serious when she prayed. Not long after, Shui Xinyue sensed something unusual; she felt as if she had established a connection with some great being.
