Douluo: Why is Qian Renxue not in love anymore?

Chapter 48 Guangling Douluo (2)

The old man took the letter and looked at the golden Wuhun City emblem for a moment, frowning slightly, as if confirming something. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle, and even the aroma of cakes in the air seemed to freeze.

The old man slowly opened the envelope, touched the letter paper with his fingertips, and read it carefully. A trace of doubt and deep thought flashed in his eyes that had seen through many vicissitudes of life.

Li Muyun's heart was beating fast, but he pretended to be calm on the surface. Occasionally, his eyes swept across the letter in the old man's hand, and then quickly retracted them, fearing that his nervousness would be noticed.

Xiao Ai, who was standing by, seemed to feel the unusual tense atmosphere as well. She stopped eating, and her little hands unconsciously clenched the pastry in her hands. Her big eyes looked at the two of them with curiosity and worry.

The letter paper in the old man's hand trembled slightly. He looked up at Li Muyun. A complex light flashed in his eyes that had seen a lot of things, as if he was examining him, and also seemed to be wondering.

"This seal is undoubtedly from the headquarters of Wuhun City, but..." There was a subtle hesitation in his words, and his fingers gently stroked the emblem on the letter, as if he wanted to find the answer from every detail.

"But why haven't we received any notification from the Spirit Hall?"

Li Muyun's heart tightened, but he maintained a polite smile on his face, with a sly look in his eyes. He thought to himself, "You were able to receive the notice? This is an excuse I made up temporarily. As for the seal, it's just a little thing I got by chance when I was in the main hall. It came in handy at the critical moment."

Seeing this, Xiao Ai seemed to realize something. Her eyes, full of spirit, moved back and forth between the old man and Li Muyun for a few times. Then, her little hand quietly reached inside her lapel and slowly took out an ancient and majestic token.

Xiao Ai gently handed over the token, with a hint of childish innocence and seriousness in her voice: "Grandpa, we still have this, it is...it is very important to us."

The old man took the token, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then turned into deep respect. The token was simple and heavy, with complicated totems carved on it, as if it contained ancient and powerful power. He gently stroked the token, feeling the subtle fluctuations of soul power flowing on it, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"So that's it... So that's it." The old man murmured to himself, his eyes became soft and warm. He looked up at Li Muyun and Xiao Ai, his eyes full of praise and relief. "It seems that you have come with an important mission. Well, I will arrange the best accommodation for you and ensure that you can practice peacefully and gain something during your time in the branch temple."

Upon hearing this, Li Muyun's face broke into a bright smile, which was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling the last trace of chill in the room.

"Then I'll trouble you, senior." His words were full of sincerity and gratitude, and he bowed slightly to show respect. Then, he turned around and winked at Xiao Ai, his eyes flashing with cunning and doting, as if to say, "Look, everything is solved."

Seeing this, Xiao Ai also smiled sweetly, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth were faintly visible, making her even more adorable. She clapped her hands excitedly, skipped to the old man, pulled his sleeve, and said in a clear and pleasant voice: "Grandpa, can we go and see where we live? I have never lived in the Wuhun Branch Hall of Tiandou City!"

The old man smiled kindly, and that smile was like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, warm but not dazzling. "Okay, you guys go on your own, on the third floor, take any room you like, there are plenty of rooms, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

When Xiao Ai heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, as if she saw countless new and wonderful worlds unfolding before her eyes. She took Li Muyun's hand, almost jumping up with excitement, and pulled him to the stairs. The stairs were made of simple wood, and every step made a slight echo. The air seemed to still have the faint soul power fluctuations left by the past soul masters.

On the third floor, the light was soft and bright. Rows of rooms were neatly arranged, and each door was tightly closed, as if hiding its own secrets and stories. Xiao Ai let go of Li Muyun's hand and shuttled through the corridors like a happy bird, occasionally pushing open a door and looking inside, muttering excitedly: "This one is so big, and there are windows to see the scenery! Wow, this room has a super big bed, as soft as a cloud!"

"Hey! A newcomer?" This sudden, clear and pleasant voice, with a hint of curiosity and surprise, came from the other end of the corridor. A young man slowly walked into sight, and his appearance seemed to freeze the air around him.

The young man walked slowly, each step was as light as walking on clouds, and his short stature contained immeasurable strength and grace.

His face was extremely handsome, and his facial features were as delicate as a carefully crafted work of art, especially his right eye that was not covered by ice and snow. It was deep and bright, as if it could see into the deepest secrets of the human heart.

The sunlight shines through the window lattice and shines on his long silver hair. Each strand of hair shines with a delicate and soft luster, like flowing moonlight, adding an indescribable mystery and nobility to this quiet corridor.

He tilted his head slightly, and his eyes inadvertently met with Li Muyun and Xiao Ai. A faint and slightly playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. That smile seemed to hide countless unfinished stories, which made people involuntarily want to get closer and find out.

Xiao Ai jumped up to meet him, her eyes sparkling with joy at meeting a new friend for the first time. Her big, clear eyes seemed to be able to speak, conveying endless curiosity and friendliness. "Hello, my name is Xiao Ai, I'm an intern who just came today. Do you work here too?"

Hearing this, the young man paused, his long silver hair swaying gently in the breeze. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes gently falling on Xiao Ai, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious, like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright. "Hello, Xiao Ai. You can call me... um, Guang Ling, I am not a staff member here, I came to the Wuhun Branch Hall to practice, oh, no, like you, I am an intern spirit master."

Xiao Ai's eyes lit up instantly, like the brightest stars in the night sky, and the smile on her lips was like the most gorgeous flower in spring. "Really? Then we will be colleagues from now on!"

She excitedly pulled Guang Ling's sleeve and jumped around him a few times, as if she had found the most precious treasure.

Xiao Ai's curiosity was like a butterfly fluttering in the spring, and she couldn't help it. She blinked her big, watery eyes and approached Guang Ling curiously, her voice full of excitement and anticipation: "By the way, what is your job here? Do you have to complete many tasks like us, or learn how to use your martial spirit better?"

Seeing this, Guang Ling's eyes flashed with a gentle smile. He shook his head gently, and his silver hair shimmered gently in the sunlight, like a pouring galaxy.

"My job is a bit special, isn't it?" He spoke with a hint of mystery, and then continued, "I prefer to study the mysteries of martial spirits and explore their subtle connections with nature and the stars. Sometimes, I observe the stars at night, trying to find clues to the evolution of martial spirits in the vast universe."

Xiao Ai admired, "Wow, you look so powerful, what level of soul power have you reached?"

Guang Ling said, "My soul power has reached ninety... Oh, no, my soul power has reached level sixty-nine."
