Chapter 48 Ling Luochen's Reluctance to Part
Ah, this.
Yun Ze naturally understood what the girl's expression meant.
To be honest, he had no feelings for this girl, only a slight amazement at her size.
And in terms of size, could she compare to Sister Xue'er, or Sister Luochen?
Even Sister Bing'er's little apple might not be as big, right?
However, Yun Ze still politely nodded to Ling Ruoxue and turned to leave.
Ling Ruoxue looked at Yun Ze's departing figure with some disappointment, but secretly thought that if she had the chance, she must get closer to Young Master Yun!
Perhaps she could seize the opportunity?
Being friends would be great!
The girl quickly recovered from her disappointment and became enthusiastic.
Yun Ze arrived at Ling Luochen's courtyard, where the latter had already woken up and was sitting in a rattan chair reading a book.
He glanced at the book and found that Ling Luochen was looking at a soul beast encyclopedia, and most of the soul beasts in it were ice-attribute soul beasts.
"Xiao Ze? You're here." Ling Luochen naturally noticed Yun Ze, and her eyes lit up when she saw him in his new clothes.
Although Yun Ze had previously worn a fox fur coat, making him appear like a gentle nobleman, the clothes Ling Luochen had specially bought for him gave him a more refined and youthful look.
"How are you? Do you feel anything is wrong with the clothes?" Ling Luochen asked with concern. Yun Ze naturally smiled and shook his head. "Of course not. Besides, even if there is, it's a gift from you, Sister Luochen, so of course I love it."
Ling Luochen didn't speak, but the smile on her lips never faded.
Yunze pulled up a chair and sat down, asking Ling Luochen with some curiosity, "Sister Luochen, are you choosing a soul beast that will suit your soul ring?"
"Yes, I originally planned to take advantage of this holiday to try my luck in the far north, but I didn't encounter many soul beasts, let alone suitable ones," Ling Luochen replied. "So I can only go to the Frozen Forest in a couple of days to hunt the soul beasts there."
"The spirit beasts recorded in this book all come from the Frozen Forest. I'd like to see if there's a suitable one for my fourth spirit ring."
Yun Ze nodded. He only knew about the Frozen Forest from Ling Luochen. It was a spirit beast forest belonging to Tianshui City, one of the three cities of the Northern Territory. Originally a forest for wild spirit beasts, it gradually became a hunting forest for humans as human strength grew and the top spirit beasts in the Frozen Forest were hunted to extinction.
Although located in the Northern Territory, the Frozen Forest has never been part of the Far North, so Yun Ze naturally wouldn't concern himself with spirit beasts from other places.
After all, the future of the Far North is still just a concept and hasn't been formally implemented yet.
"Sister Luo Chen, we've been cultivating together these past few days. Your martial soul quality should have improved a bit, right? That should increase the absorption age of your fourth soul ring quite a bit, right?"
Ling Luo Chen nodded gently. "Yes, I estimate it's increased by about one to two thousand years. Originally, I estimated my fourth soul ring would be around five to six thousand years, but now it seems I can absorb a seven to eight thousand year soul ring."
At this point, Ling Luo Chen sincerely expressed her gratitude to Yun Ze. "All of this is because of you, Xiao Ze."
"Thank you."
Seemingly remembering something, Ling Luo Chen asked curiously, "By the way, Xiao Ze, I heard from Father that you might be from a hidden, powerful force. If possible, could you tell me what force you belong to?"
After she finished speaking, her pretty face flushed slightly. "If you don't want to tell me, then we won't."
"Of course, but Sister Luo Chen, you must keep it a secret." Yun Ze said with a smile.
Ling Luo Chen nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
"The sect behind me is called the Snow Sect, a reclusive sect. Of course, I can't tell you its exact location yet, Sister Luo Chen, but I promise you, when you come back from your vacation, I can come and visit you."
"Snow Sect?" Ling Luo Chen tilted her head, completely unfamiliar with the name.
It seemed to be a truly mysterious sect.
However, upon hearing Yun Ze's next words, a hint of reluctance appeared on Ling Luo Chen's face.
Yes! After today, Xiao Ze will be leaving.
Although she has only known him for a few days, these few days have brought Ling Luochen a completely different life.
It's as if a ray of light has appeared in her previously dark life.
Yun Ze noticed that Ling Luochen's expression was somewhat downcast, but he couldn't guess why she was like this. He could only gently hold Ling Luochen's small hand, silently comforting her.
"Xiao Ze." Ling Luochen raised her head, looking directly into Yun Ze's eyes, and suddenly, a bright smile appeared on her lips. "I'm really happy to have met you."
"Me too, Sister Luochen." Yun Ze nodded gently.
The two looked at each other like that, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
In the Ling family mansion, in the courtyard of the Ling family patriarch, in the meeting hall.
Several figures were seated here, and the one sitting at the head of the table was none other than the Ling family patriarch, Ling Tianyi.
"Big brother, did you suddenly call this meeting because you have something to announce?" Ling Tianchen, the second son of the Ling family, was a middle-aged man with a somewhat refined appearance. He looked at Ling Tianyi, who was sitting in the main seat, and asked softly.
The others also looked at Ling Tianyi.
Ling Tianyi's face remained as composed as ever, but with a hint of seriousness.
His voice was very steady, "As you all know, a mysterious guest has come to our Ling family these past few days."
"Brother Tianyi, you're talking about Xiaoze, right? What's wrong? Does your calling us here have anything to do with him?" Ling Hanyan, the only woman among them, spoke up at this moment.
Ling Tianyi nodded slightly, "It is indeed because of him." "
Back then, after Han Yun, Han Li, and Han Yan brought him back, they told me some of your guesses. Now, we have an answer regarding Yun Ze's identity." Ling Tianyi took a deep breath, "This person is the young master of a reclusive sect. According to him, this sect is called the Snow Sect, a sect hidden in the far north. But apart from these two points, we don't know anything else for the time being."
"But just today, Yun Ze suddenly came to me, saying he wanted to cooperate with my Ling family as the Snow Sect's external influence."
"I called you all here to ask if you are willing to cooperate with the Snow Sect?"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
After a moment, Ling Tianchen spoke, "Brother, we know nothing about this Snow Sect, and we probably haven't even confirmed whether it truly exists, right?"
Ling Tianyi nodded slightly, "That's true, but I personally believe that even if the Snow Sect doesn't exist, there's still an extremely powerful and mysterious force behind Yunze."
"Think about it, who would dare let an eight-year-old Soul Master, especially one with an ultimate martial soul, go out unchecked? Besides, judging from Yunze's appearance, he seems to have come to Xuanbing City just to wander around aimlessly. If it weren't for his acquaintance with the Ling family, and if it weren't for Luo Chen, I think he wouldn't have any dealings with the Ling family at all."
"And most importantly, I can confirm that there is indeed a powerful figure behind him."
As soon as Ling Tianyi said this, everyone was stunned.
Confirm?
How to confirm?
Soon, Ling Tianyi revealed the answer.
"On the very night Yunze moved into my Ling residence, a mysterious powerhouse appeared out of nowhere in my courtyard. Although I couldn't see his face clearly, his golden eyes are something I will never forget."
Ling Tianyi's voice trembled with excitement as he spoke. "You should know that when I was young, I attended the Heavenly Soul Royal Academy. The academy had several deans at the Title Douluo level, but none of them could compare to this mysterious powerhouse!"
"They were like ants."
