Chapter 414 Li Lingzhou
Zhu Qinlan felt that something was off.
Tu Luoxue is clearly Yan Luo's eldest niece, so why do they act like a couple?
During dinner, Tu Luoxue sat next to Yan Luo and kept piling food onto his plate. Having not seen Yan Luo all day, Tu Luoxue missed him quite a bit, so her actions were unconsciously more enthusiastic.
Chi Miaomiao and Zhu Qinlan sat together. Although these two people, who had just met today, didn't get along very well, they were just bickering. Zhu Qinlan leaned close to Chi Miaomiao's ear.
"Don't you think Xiao Yan's eldest niece is acting a little strange towards Xiao Yan?"
Chi Miaomiao understood what Zhu Qinlan meant, and she replied calmly, "Xiaoxue and Yanluo are not related by blood or law, so it's fine for her to like Yanluo."
Zhu Qinlan nodded in sudden realization; no wonder Yanluo's lovers hadn't shown any dissatisfaction.
After dinner, Tu Keke and Man Sui cleaned up the kitchen, Bai Ningbing carried Tu Yier to take a bath, and everyone gathered in the small living room on the second floor to eat fruit after dinner.
Qin Jinwen glanced at his phone and said to Yan Luo, "Li Lingzhou said they'll arrive tomorrow."
Yanluo nodded. Li Lingzhou was the captain of the sixth squad. Yanluo had met her once when she went to the northern frontier. She was a very beautiful woman, and the wind and snow of the northern frontier gave her a cool and aloof temperament.
Li Lingzhou is 24 years old this year. She is not the first to achieve the ninth rank at the age of 22. The first is the female sword immortal of Longxia, Fifth Spring and Autumn.
Fifth Spring Autumn possessed exceptional talent and cultivated at an astonishing speed using the extraordinary "Book of the Four Seasons," achieving the rank of Ninth-Order Ghost Hunter at the age of 22. Her apprentice, Yan Luo, was even more extraordinary, becoming a Ninth-Order Ghost Hunter at the age of 18, making him the first in the history of Dragon Summer.
Li Lingzhou is very talented. He is said to come from an ancient martial arts family in the northern frontier. He has a good relationship with Qin Jinwen and they keep in touch often. Qin Jinwen admires Li Lingzhou quite a bit. She sees a bit of Fifth Spring Autumn in Li Lingzhou.
The two had the most in common in terms of temperament; they both possessed a cool and aloof air, which made Yan Luo feel somewhat fond of Li Lingzhou.
Tuesday, February 18th.
The sixth squad, Blizzard, stationed in Guihua in northern China, arrived in Guangzhou. Squad leader Li Lingzhou took off her down jacket, revealing a fitted sweater underneath, showcasing her great figure. Li Lingzhou had a cool and aloof demeanor, but her eyes held a charming and confident quality.
Li Lingzhou and Qin Jinwen embraced, while Yan Luo watched from the side. Zhu Qinlan and Chi Miaomiao, as vice-captains, chatted happily with the vice-captain of the sixth squad. Women tend to have more in common, especially since Chi Miaomiao is a true social butterfly.
After everyone introduced themselves, Li Lingzhou looked at the 22nd squad who had joined in the fun. There was someone in the squad who she cared about a lot; it was her younger sister.
"Wu Qi".
Li Lingzhou's calls were met with Tu Wuqi's estrangement. Tu Wuqi left the lounge, and Li Lingzhou wanted to chase after him, but she had no reason to.
Li Lingzhou and Tu Wuqi came from the ancient martial arts family of the northern frontier. Li Lingzhou was exceptionally talented and, as the eldest daughter, received much attention from the elders of her family.
Tu Wuqi's original name was Li Wuqi. Her older sister's brilliance was too dazzling, and the elders and father all focused their attention on her. She was also very talented, but she could never keep up with her sister who was constantly improving.
Unable to bear the family atmosphere and yearning for power, Li Wuqi left the Li family and took his mother's surname, Tu. From then on, there was only Tu Wuqi in the world, and there was no more Li Wuqi.
Tu Wuqi has been away from the northern frontier for almost half a year, and his own strength has also increased to the sixth level, but when facing Yanluo and the others, he only feels a strong sense of defeat and powerlessness.
Both sisters chose to join the Ghost Hunters to serve their country, but Li Lingzhou's current achievements are something Tu Wuqi can never catch up with, which makes Tu Wuqi crave power to the extreme even more.
Is there any way to become stronger? Is there any way to surpass Li Lingzhou? I'm willing to do anything to become stronger!!!
This obsessive idea grew stronger and stronger in Tu Wuqi's mind, reaching an extreme level of madness.
Li Lingzhou suppressed the urge to catch up with her younger sister. She rarely communicated with Tu Wuqi, but she always silently paid attention to her only sister.
Li Lingzhou was filled with doubt after her younger sister ran away. She blamed herself for everything, believing that she had forced her sister to leave home.
Li Lingzhou wanted to distract himself, so he suggested to Yan Luo that they spar. Yan Luo readily agreed.
"Captain Yan, Brother Wang often mentions you to me, saying that your talent is the best in the entire Longxia. It was a real pity that we didn't get to spar with you when we met in the North last time. Today we must have a good fight."
Li Lingzhou held a long sword in his hand, the sword displaying a refreshing emerald green color.
Yan Luo nodded.
“Captain Li, you and my master have similar talents. You are both young ninth-level ghost hunters. I am very honored to be able to spar with you.”
As he spoke, Yanluo manipulated chaos to create a chaotic longsword for himself.
"I didn't bring my ghost artifact, Captain Li, please don't show mercy."
Li Lingzhou nodded. The two were in the training room, and everyone in the second-floor lounge was looking down at them.
Li Lingzhou, dressed in training clothes with her hair tied in a high ponytail, exuded a powerful confidence and a cool temperament that gave people an indescribable sense of surprise. Yan Luo tied up her loose red hair and then picked up the Chaos Longsword.
After Qin Jinwen gave the order to begin, the longswords in the hands of the two ninth-rank captains clashed together, producing two loud sword cries.
The immense energy was unleashed through the two longswords. After a brief test, Li Lingzhou and Yan Luo swiftly wielded their swords, attacking and defending in rapid succession.
Those below the ninth rank could only see the afterimages of the two below, but Qin Jinwen could see them clearly.
Yan Luo felt very satisfied. Li Lingzhou was indeed worthy of being from an ancient martial arts family. If we disregard the qi and only talk about sword moves, Yan Luo felt that Li Lingzhou was the person who could give her the most enjoyment besides Fifth Winter and Summer.
Li Lingzhou felt the pressure. She looked at Yan Luo, who seemed relaxed and even had a smile on her lips, a stark contrast to her desperate attacks to break through Yan Luo's defenses.
It seemed that only Li Lingzhou was sparring, while Yan Luo was playing around like a child.
After another exchange of blows, the two retreated in unison, and Li Lingzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Captain Yan truly deserves to be called the number one ghost hunter in Longxia today. I, Lingzhou, would like to learn from him."
Yan Luo humbly replied, "It's not about being the first or the first person; we're all working hard for the country."
Li Lingzhou adjusted his breathing, and his sword-wielding hand assumed a sword-raising stance. Yan Luo understood and engaged Li Lingzhou in battle once again.
Qin Jinwen sighed on the second floor.
"These two freaks, one is 22 years old and the other is 24 years old. This generation of Dragon Summer Ghost Hunters is truly more powerful than ever before."
Of the ten Rank 9 teams, only Yan Luo and Li Lingzhou, as fourth-generation Ghost Hunters, shouldered the heavy responsibility of Rank 9.
Since Yan Luo, this overpowered talent, appeared, Li Lingzhou has been overshadowed in every way. Before Yan Luo reached the ninth level, she was the most talented, on par with Wu Chunqiu. But when the eighteen-year-old Yan Luo reached the ninth level, Li Lingzhou felt like a joke.
Those achievements they were so proud of were as pale and powerless as a blank sheet of paper in front of Yan Luo.
