41 Chapter 41: Compassionate Saint, Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia
Rong Rong?
Ning Rong Rong?!
No wonder she's so wilful! It's not surprising at all if it's Ning Rong Rong, the little witch.
As the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it's not an exaggeration to say that her family is wealthy enough to rival a country, especially with two Title Douluo who dote on her immensely. She can practically do as she pleases.
Observing Ning Rong Rong for a while after hearing the man's warning, he etched her into his memory. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is one of his observed factions, so Ning Rong Rong's behavior naturally needs to be taken into consideration.
Upon hearing the man's warning, Ning Rong Rong froze for a moment. Then, her shoulders slumped, turning around to face the man. She made a face at him and said, "Why are you here so soon? I haven't played enough yet!"
"You, really..." The man shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, don't cause trouble. You've been out for long enough this time."
"Next time, I'll make sure to run farther." Ning Rong Rong pouted, saying these words, but she obediently came to the man's side.
"I sincerely apologize for the damages caused by my junior sister today, and I will personally compensate for it." The man looked at the shopkeeper, expressing his apologies. Then, he glanced around at the diners, "I beg your pardon, I'll cover the expenses for everyone today. My junior sister is ignorant, disturbing your enjoyment. Please bear with us."
The man was gentle and refined. Although he exuded an aura of authority, his actions and words didn't show dominance. His speech was like a breath of fresh air, making the diners feel much better. Those who recognized the man's identity didn't dare to speak up and wished they could bury their heads in the ground.
"That won't disturb anyone!" Seeing no objections, the man smiled and prepared to leave with Ning Rong Rong.
Suddenly, in the corner of his eye, a figure entered his line of sight. The man paused, then stopped in his tracks, a hint of confusion appearing on his face as he looked towards the diner.
Seeming uncertain, the man furrowed his brows and carefully recalled, finally extracting a certain image from the depths of his memory. His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked towards the table where Cheng Xiao was seated.
"I wonder if you are Senior Ye from the Compassionate Saint?" The man saluted respectfully to his senior.
Compassionate Saint? Ye?
Could it be the Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia?! Ye Renxin?!
Cheng Xiao was stunned, and a myriad of thoughts raced through his mind. He had imagined the old man's identity to be extraordinary, or else why would he go to such lengths to make connections? But he hadn't expected it to be this explosive.
This was the top-tier healing auxiliary soul master across the entire Douluo Continent! If the auxiliary system were to be categorized, it could generally be divided into three main types: food system, healing system, and amplification system. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was undoubtedly the number one soul skill in the amplification system on the continent, while the Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia was the top soul skill in the healing system!
Some might not think highly of the Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia since it was mainly known for healing the entire team. But compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia's appeal was not lacking at all.
Healing was not just about in-battle recovery—it was also about healing after battle! How many soul masters were left with hidden injuries from battles, hindering their soul power advancement for a lifetime?
And how many had died prematurely due to these hidden injuries? With a top-tier healing soul master, would they suffer like this? Let alone other things, if Tang Hao, the father of Tang San and Tang Hao, had the Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia's healing, would he have easily succumbed to his old illness, leading to his untimely death?
And Tang Hao's severe injuries, if they had the Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia, would he have needed to resort to amputations to extend his life by forcing the injuries into his limbs? This was an effect that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda absolutely couldn't achieve!
"As long as there's a Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia Soul Master, dying becomes difficult." This saying circulating on the continent is not just empty words!
The concept of repaying a life-saving favor is deeply ingrained in those saved by the Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia. Numerous people cherish the gratitude, awaiting the opportunity to repay this favor.
If it weren't for the restriction that the Nine-Hearted Sea Begonia could only exist in two individuals simultaneously, causing potential gaps in inheritance, the Ye family could easily gather a large group of soul masters to pledge allegiance. While they might not surpass the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, establishing a large-scale sect exceeding the other four sects would be entirely feasible.
No wonder the old man had politely declined his deliberate attempt to make connections earlier. What kind of identity could compete with the number one healing soul master on the continent?
Cheng Xiao's thoughts rapidly shifted. No, such a good opportunity, and he can't just let it slip away! Can't make connections? I'll force it! Even if I have to abduct your granddaughter!
His gaze slightly shifted, landing on the quiet girl beside him. A series of maneuvers played out in Cheng Xiao's mind. He smiled with a crescent-shaped eyes, ready to implement his plan.
At this moment, Ye Lingling was curiously watching the man conversing with her grandfather, completely unaware that a fox had set its sights on her.
Suddenly, feeling a chill down her spine, Ye Lingling shivered. She raised her head, and her gaze coincidentally collided with Cheng Xiao's intense stare. Her fair and delicate cheeks instantly turned crimson. She quickly lowered her head, biting her lip and pretending to be engrossed in picking at her white rice, covering her embarrassment.
"Do you know me?" Seeing the man approaching directly and even calling out his name, Ye Renxin raised an eyebrow in question.
"Who on the continent doesn't know Senior's name?" The man smiled and nodded, "I wonder if I have the honor of inviting Senior for a meeting at our residence?"
Ye Renxin leaned back, sizing up the man. "This is the Crown Prince of the Tian Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe! Also, he is the disciple of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect Master Ning Fengzhi." Cheng Xiao took the opportunity to introduce, resolving the awkward situation.
Xue Qinghe looked at Cheng Xiao, revealing a kind smile, nodding in gratitude. Fortunately, this young man resolved the situation, or else, as a Crown Prince, he would have to introduce himself, which would be quite embarrassing.
"Oh, it's you! I saw you once in Tian Dou City many years ago when you were only three or four years old..." Ye Renxin played along with the situation, "In the blink of an eye, you've grown this big. This old man can't even recognize you. How is your father, the emperor?"
"I'm honored to be remembered by Senior. My father's health is deteriorating. I invited Senior to our residence for a consultation this time, hoping to treat my father."
Cheng Xiao's expression was quite vivid, feeling absurd. Emperor Xue Ye wanted Xue Qinghe to treat him? What a joke. Probably, he just wished for his death?
After a moment, Cheng Xiao understood. It was just an excuse to showcase his "filial piety." Moreover, he could simultaneously make connections with the number one healing soul master on the continent, sharing the same intentions as Cheng Xiao.
"I don't need to go to your residence; I want to visit an old friend and don't want to be disturbed."
Ye Renxin waved his hand, not giving face even to the Crown Prince.
"If Senior has any requests, feel free to send someone to inform the Crown Prince's mansion, and I will do my best to help alleviate Senior's worries." Xue Qinghe sighed, expressing regret. "I won't disturb Senior any longer. Please enjoy your meal, Senior."
