Douluo: Why is Qian Renxue not in love anymore?

Chapter 47 Guangling Douluo (1)

The Wuhun Branch Hall is located in the southeast of Tiandou City. After asking several passers-by, Li Muyun brought Xiao Ai here.

"Brother Muyun, it's all your fault. You didn't bring the gold soul coins when you went out. Otherwise, why would you have walked so long?"

Li Muyun chuckled, "Okay, Xiao Ai, I'll remember it next time. But, wouldn't it be better to feel the atmosphere of Tiandou City by walking around like this? Look, the candied haws on the stall over there are so tempting and red."

Xiao Ai's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she was immediately attracted to it. The crystal-clear sugar coating shone with an alluring luster in the sun. She swallowed her saliva, but pretended to be reserved and looked at Li Muyun: "Brother Muyun, are you saying that you want to use this to compensate me for the hardship of walking?"

Li Muyun smiled and nodded, took out a copper soul coin from his pocket and handed it to the vendor in exchange for two candied haws. He handed one to Xiao Ai and bit off the tip of the other. The sweet and sour taste instantly melted in his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's really good. Come on, try it too."

Xiao Ai took the candied haws and took a bite. Her bright eyes instantly curved into crescent shapes, and it seemed that even the air around her became a little sweeter.

She ate and laughed, occasionally looking up at Li Muyun. Her smile was pure and bright, like the warmest sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling all fatigue and the distance of the journey.

"Let's go, we're here." Li Muyun's words were accompanied by a subtle tenderness, leading Xiao Ai to look into the distance. In the southeast corner of Tiandou City, a majestic and solemn building stood quietly, which was the Wuhun Branch Hall.

The gate of the Wuhun Branch Hall is guarded by two huge stone spirit beasts, which are in different shapes and lifelike, as if they will wake up from their slumber at any time to guard this holy land. On the lintel, there are intricate patterns carved, and each stroke contains the ancient and powerful power of the Wuhun, which makes people feel awe.

The two walked through the wide square and entered the branch hall. A strong wave of soul power hit them in the face, which was completely different from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Under the towering dome of the hall, rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, filled with various martial soul books and cultivation methods. The air was filled with a faint fragrance of books and a strange smell of soul power.

In the central area, a huge hexagonal altar is eye-catching. It is inlaid with six gems of different colors, shining with dazzling light. It is a sacred place used to awaken martial spirits and assist in cultivation.

Stepping into the quiet space of the Wuhun Branch Hall, an old man in a plain robe slowly walked out from the bookshelves. His hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. The old man smiled and asked gently, "My two friends, are you new here? The Wuhun Branch Hall welcomes every soul master who is interested in martial soul cultivation. I wonder if you have any needs or need help?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ai's eyes involuntarily fell on the badge on the old man's chest that was shining with a faint golden light. It was the symbol of a high-level soul master. She swallowed her saliva, a hint of cunning and shyness flashed in her eyes, and she gently tugged at the corner of Li Muyun's clothes with her little hand, and said in a low voice with a bit of urgency: "Brother Muyun, can I...can I ask this old man for a gold soul coin? I...I'm really hungry, I want to eat a lot of delicious food."

Li Muyun's cheeks flushed involuntarily, and embarrassment instantly covered his face. He resisted the urge to twitch his lips, and thought to himself: "I don't know her? This... this girl is really shocking. The golden generation of the Spirit Hall is actually stumped by a gold soul coin at this moment?"

Li Muyun's eyes wandered, trying to find a way to escape, but he happened to meet the old man's half-smile, feeling even more embarrassed. Xiao Ai seemed not to notice the subtle atmosphere around her, still pulling his sleeve innocently, her clear eyes full of desire for food and a hint of imperceptible mischief.

Li Muyun could only bite the bullet and coughed softly, trying to make his voice sound natural: "Ahem, senior, my sister, uh... she is still young and naive, sorry to make you laugh. We came to Tiandou City's Wuhun Branch Hall for internship, but... we encountered a small episode on the way, sorry to make you laugh."

The old man smiled kindly upon hearing this, as if he could see into the innocent thoughts of children. He waved his hand gently, and the secret door on one side of the hall slid open silently, revealing a passage leading to a quiet room. "Children, come this way. The Wuhun Branch Hall has prepared a resting place for every soul master who has come from afar, and of course, some simple snacks to relieve the fatigue of the journey."

Following the old man's lead, Li Muyun and Xiao Ai stepped into the simple yet cozy room. The light was soft, with a wooden round table in the center and several comfortable chairs around it. On the table, plates of exquisite pastries were neatly arranged, including crystal clear osmanthus cakes, soft and sweet glutinous rice cakes, and almond crisps with a faint fruity aroma. Each of them exuded an alluring aroma that made people salivate.

Xiao Ai's eyes lit up instantly, like the brightest stars in the night sky, and her little nose twitched slightly, greedily sucking in the sweet fragrance in the air. She could hardly contain her inner joy, and ran to the table with small steps, first carefully stretched out her fingers and gently touched the crystal clear osmanthus cake, fearing that this beauty would disappear in an instant.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, she quickly grabbed a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth, closing her eyes and savoring it carefully. At that moment, her face was filled with unprecedented happiness and satisfaction, as if the whole world melted in this sweetness.

Xiao Ai narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, with a satisfied smile on her lips. She turned to look at Li Muyun, her bright eyes flashing with an invitation. She patted the empty seat beside her with her little hands, motioning Li Muyun to sit down. Her clear voice was filled with a hint of eagerness and joy: "Brother Muyun, you eat too! These cakes are really delicious, especially the osmanthus cake, which is sweet but not greasy, as if it can sweeten my heart!"

As she spoke, she picked up another piece of glutinous rice cake and handed it to Li Muyun. Her clear eyes were full of love for food and the joy of sharing.

Li Muyun looked at Xiao Ai's innocent appearance, and the embarrassment and discomfort in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of warmth and a smile.

Li Muyun smiled and refused the glutinous rice cake that Xiao Ai handed over, his eyes full of tenderness for her. He patted the back of her hand gently, indicating that she should enjoy it herself, then turned to face the old man, his expression becoming serious and solemn.

"Senior, we are young spirit masters from the Wuhun City Main Hall. We are here at the Tiandou City Wuhun Branch Hall to combine the knowledge we have learned with practical experience for a few months of internship. The Wuhun City Main Hall has always placed high hopes on the branch halls in various places. We hope that during this period, we can not only improve ourselves, but also bring new vitality and insights to the branch halls."

As he spoke, Li Muyun took out a sealed letter from his bosom and handed it to the old man respectfully with both hands. The golden Wuhun City emblem on the letter shone slightly in the sun, revealing its extraordinary origin. "This is a recommendation letter from the main hall, which details our mission and goals, and hopes that we can contribute to the branch hall in what ways."
