Chapter 229 The Flaw in the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul
More than an hour passed.
The sun was setting in the west; it was already afternoon.
At the entrance of Haitang Medical Clinic.
Ye Huiyin, dressed in a bright green dress, exuding an intellectual and gentle charm, and Liu Erlong, who had changed into a black leather dress and had striking features, stood together, holding hands and talking.
"Erlong, I really hope you can stay and keep me company. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and I have so much to talk to you about."
Ye Huiyin looked at Liu Erlong and said with a face full of reluctance.
"Huiyin, I really want you to be with me too. All these years, you've been the only one who can talk to me. Without your constant comfort and healing, I don't know what I would be like. Thank you so much, Huiyin!"
Liu Erlong's bright face also revealed a look of reluctance.
"Oh, you're too kind, Erlong. If you really want to thank me, why don't you stay?"
Ye Huiyin affectionately patted Liu Erlong's fair and smooth hand.
"I'm sorry, Huiyin, I can't this time. I have to go home first."
Liu Erlong shook his head slightly and said apologetically, "It's been more than half a month since I left home. I don't know how things are at home. After all, it's the house my mother left me, so I have to go back and check on things first."
"Oh well."
Ye Huiyin pouted slightly, looking a little disappointed, but she didn't try to stop her.
Ye Huiyin naturally knew why Liu Erlong was so eager to go home first.
The house where Liu Erlong lives was left by his deceased mother, and it represents his longing for her.
Liu Erlong took it very seriously.
Seeing Ye Huiyin's cute pout, Liu Erlong couldn't help but smile.
The matriarch of the Ye family, who manages an entire clan, is actually very much in line with her appearance. She is gentle, kind, intelligent, and reserved, yet she also has a touch of playfulness and cuteness. Although she is over thirty years old, she still occasionally reveals a girlish nature, which makes people feel affection for her.
This is why Liu Erlong likes Ye Huiyin so much.
Of course, Ye Huiyin only showed this kind of temperament in front of her good friend Liu Erlong; no one else would receive such treatment.
Normally, Ye Huiyin's demeanor is similar to that of Ye Lingling, who stands quietly beside her—equally aloof and distant, perhaps even more so.
After all, as the matriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia Ye family, she was not allowed to be too friendly, nor was she allowed to show any weakness.
Calmness, wisdom, foresight, decisiveness, and swiftness are the qualities a head of a prominent family should possess.
Ye Huiyin was just like that.
Ye Huiyin was no ordinary person to be able to manage the Ye family's Nine Heart Begonia household so well.
Otherwise, those forces that coveted the Ye family's Nine Heart Begonia would probably have swarmed in long ago and completely divided up the Ye family.
Therefore, Liu Erlong not only felt affection for his good friend Ye Huiyin, but also held her in exceptional admiration.
After a moment, Liu Erlong composed himself, looked at Ye Huiyin, and continued:
"In addition, I promised Xiaofeng that he would stay at my house while he was in Tiandou City."
"After all, Xiaofeng is my younger brother now, and I wouldn't feel comfortable letting him live somewhere else."
Does he live in your house too?
Upon hearing this, Ye Huiyin asked in surprise, then turned to look at Ye Qifeng, who was standing quietly beside her, just like her daughter Ye Lingling.
Noticing Ye Huiyin's gaze, Ye Qifeng quickly returned a faint smile.
"Yes, Xiao Feng didn't have anywhere to stay in Tian Dou City, so I invited him to stay at my house."
Liu Erlong nodded and said.
"Isn't Xiao Feng from Tiandou City?"
A glint appeared in Ye Huiyin's beautiful blue eyes, and she asked another question.
"No, actually, Xiao Feng comes from Wuhun City."
Liu Erlong leaned close to Ye Huiyin's ear and explained to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"From Spirit City? So, he's from the Spirit Hall?"
Ye Huiyin also lowered her voice.
"Yes, Huiyin, you just need to know it in your heart."
Liu Erlong said.
"clear."
Ye Huiyin gave him an "I understand" look, then glanced at Ye Qifeng again with a slightly strange expression.
Ye Huiyin knew that because of that person's influence, Liu Erlong did not like the Spirit Hall, and even felt some aversion and dislike towards it.
But now, Liu Erlong is willing to take in a person from the Spirit Hall as his younger brother and even invite him to live in his home, which surprised Ye Huiyin.
In the more than ten years I've known Erlong, I've never seen him show any interest in any woman, let alone bring her home.
Now Erlong wants to take Xiaofeng home?
Why does this feel so strange?
Could it be that the two dragons were enlightened because their bodies were exposed to light?
Hmm. Perhaps it's a good opportunity. It would be even better if Erlong could get rid of the pain of the past.
Ye Huiyin kept thinking, and then her eyes gradually brightened.
Liu Erlong was unaware of Ye Huiyin's thoughts. At this moment, her eyes softened as she gently spoke to the latter:
"Huiyin, I'll come see you again in a couple of days after I've settled things at home and everything's arranged."
"Will you still be at Haitang Medical Clinic these next few days?"
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Ye Huiyin snapped out of her thoughts and immediately beamed with delight.
"I happen to have some free time recently, and I'll be staying at Haitang Medical Clinic for about four or five days. So it's settled then, you have to come see me in a couple of days."
After making their agreement, the two held hands and whispered to each other for a long time.
Ye Qifeng, who was standing next to her, noticed that Ye Huiyin would glance at him from time to time. He felt a little strange, but he didn't think much of it.
He turned his head to look at Ye Lingling, who was dressed in a black dress and had her face covered by a black veil.
Ye Lingling, with her slender and upright figure, stood to the side, as aloof and lonely as ever, presenting a unique scene. At this moment, she was quietly waiting and listening to her mother and Aunt Erlong's private conversation.
At this moment, Ye Lingling was holding a thick book in her arms.
As Liu Erlong and Ye Qifeng prepared to take their leave, she was in the hall, holding a book and studying it intently.
Seeing that her mother, Ye Huiyin, was going to personally escort the two of them out of the clinic, Ye Lingling got up and followed out out of politeness. However, she did not put down the books in her hands, but instead chose to hold them in her arms.
The book's cover was facing outwards, and when Ye Qifeng turned his head, he saw the title displayed on the cover—
"Explanation and Solutions to Martial Soul Defects"!
"An explanation and solution to the flaws in her martial soul? She's probably trying to find a way to fix the flaws in the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Qifeng quickly understood Ye Lingling's idea.
What Ye Qifeng sensed from Ye Lingling was not just coldness and loneliness, but something much deeper.
despair.
That despair was masked by a cold loneliness, making it difficult for most people to detect. But Ye Qifeng was different; his senses were exceptionally sharp, especially his perception of negative emotions. As long as he focused his attention, he could easily sense them.
Despair is also a type of negative emotion.
His gaze shifted, moving from the books on Ye Lingling's chest upwards, sweeping over her slightly fuller breasts, her slender, fair neck, and her face veiled by black gauze, finally settling on her jewel-like blue eyes.
Sure enough, Ye Qifeng saw the despair hidden deep in her eyes.
Noticing Ye Qifeng's unabashed gaze, Ye Lingling couldn't help but raise her delicate eyebrows, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she glared back with her cool eyes, but then suddenly paused.
Meeting her gaze were a pair of eyes as black as ink, bright and clear, as if containing the stars and the sea, exceptionally captivating, making one's heart tremble, yet irresistibly drawn to them.
In that instant, for some reason, the anxiety and turmoil that had been surging while reading the book suddenly calmed down, leaving Ye Lingling feeling incredulous and momentarily stunned.
At this moment, Liu Erlong and Ye Huiyin finished their intimate chat and said goodbye to each other.
Finally, I officially bid farewell.
"Xiaofeng, I'm leaving now. Lingling, Aunt Erlong is going now, I'll come see you again next time."
Liu Erlong turned around and called out to Ye Qifengqing, then bid farewell to Ye Lingling.
"Miss Lingling, don't feel sad or desperate. It's just a minor flaw in your martial soul; there will be a solution. I'm leaving!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng withdrew his gaze from Ye Lingling, whispered a few words to her, then waved goodbye and followed Liu Erlong.
"what?"
Ye Lingling, still in a state of shock, had not yet come to her senses.
The next moment, she realized what was happening, her eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and a storm of emotions surged within her.
"He...he knew my martial soul had a flaw? How did he know? Does he know how to fix the flaw in the Nine Heart Begonia?"
Ye Lingling wanted to ask for clarification.
However, when she refocused her eyes, Ye Qifeng was nowhere to be seen. He had followed behind Liu Erlong and was already walking further and further away.
Ye Lingling really wanted to catch up and find out what was going on.
But then I thought about it again and it seemed a little wrong. The Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul has a flaw. Although it is not a top secret, it is not something that ordinary people would know.
Moreover, I never told him that my martial soul was the Nine-Hearted Begonia, nor did I tell him that my martial soul had a defect.
How did he find out?
Was it just a guess?
At this moment, Ye Lingling looked down at the book she was holding and saw the title facing outwards. She suddenly realized that he must have been guessing, but he just happened to guess right by accident.
However, his words just now seemed to be a way of comforting himself, just as his mother had said, he really is a thoughtful person.
Thinking of this, Ye Lingling's eyebrows curved slightly.
"Lingling, let's go back."
At this moment, Ye Huiyin's clear voice rang out.
Ye Lingling, who was in a state of shock at the moment, did not notice her mother's call, as she was immersed in the doubts that were surging in her mind.
"Um?"
Ye Huiyin turned around, her lotus-like steps light and graceful, about to return to the Haitang Medical Clinic, but she suddenly stopped, looking at her daughter in confusion. Seeing that her daughter was motionless and did not reply, she called out again:
"Lingling?"
Ye Lingling remained deaf to his words.
Seeing this, Ye Huiyin had no choice but to step over, gently pat her daughter's soft shoulder, and softly ask:
"Lingling, what's wrong?"
Seeing that her daughter's gaze was fixed in one direction, as if something there had attracted all her attention, Ye Huiyin raised her eyes and followed her daughter's gaze, which soon landed on a black-clad figure gradually walking away.
"Isn't that Xiao Feng? Why is Lingling paying so much attention to him? Could it be that Lingling is interested in him? No way, I was hoping to set him up with Erlong."
Thinking of this, Ye Huiyin's heart skipped a beat.
"What if Lingling really is interested in Xiaofeng? Should I try to matchmake Erlong or Lingling?"
"Erlong is obsessed with something and has suffered a lot. I want Xiaofeng to help Erlong take the place of that person in his heart and help Erlong get rid of the pain of the past."
"But Lingling also has a knot in her heart. Ever since she was six years old, she has known that her Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul was obtained because of her grandfather's sacrifice, and she also knows that the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul has inheritance defects. Since then, she has become aloof and cold, and she avoids the opposite sex like the plague."
"It's not easy to find a guy who can interest Lingling. This is a chance for her to change her personality, and we can't let it slip away, otherwise Lingling will be all alone in the future."
"What do we do now?"
Ye Huiyin hissed and gasped for breath, suddenly feeling a headache coming on, and didn't know what to do.
Feeling her mother's warm, soft hand on her shoulder, Ye Lingling snapped out of her reverie. She didn't notice the constantly shifting, strange expressions on her mother's face, and instead asked casually:
"Mother, is there really no way to fix the inheritance flaws of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Huiyin's unusual expression vanished instantly. Meeting her daughter's hopeful gaze, she sighed softly:
"My mother doesn't know either, but for now, there really is no solution."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Huiyin explained:
"Our Ye family has researched for many years and tried almost every method, but we have not been able to solve the inheritance defects of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."
"You know the Ning family of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right?"
"Yes, I know."
Ye Lingling nodded gently.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the top sects in the Douluo Continent, ranking second among the three upper sects. It is world-renowned, so she had naturally heard of it.
Moreover, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where she enrolled, had many disciples from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School studying there, and she often saw them there.
Seeing this, Ye Huiyin continued softly:
"The Ning family's inherited martial spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, actually has its flaws."
"However, unlike our inherited martial soul, the Nine Heart Begonia, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's martial soul flaw is the limitation of its soul power level, which means that its soul power can never exceed level seventy-nine."
"As the second-ranked Soul Master force among the three upper sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is incredibly wealthy. The Ning family's strength is far beyond what our Nine Heart Begonia Ye family can match. The only flaw in their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's martial soul is the limitation of their soul power level, yet they can't find any solution to it."
"However, the flaw of our Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is a flaw of inheritance. It is precisely because of this flaw that the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul can only be passed down in one lineage, with only one inheritor in each generation."
"Furthermore, only two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters can be alive at the same time. Only if one dies can another be born. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, your grandfather wouldn't have sacrificed himself before you awakened your martial soul."
As she spoke, Ye Huiyin glanced at her daughter and, sure enough, saw that her daughter's eyes darkened the moment she heard her mention her grandfather.
Because this is a pain that will forever remain in the heart of her daughter, Ye Lingling.
Ye Huiyin sighed, shook her head, and continued:
"The inheritance flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia are far more serious, terrifying, and complex than the flaws of a martial soul that limit soul power level."
"Even the Ning family of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is helpless in the face of the flaw of the martial soul that limits the level of soul power. How easy is it for our Ye family to find a way to solve the flaw of the martial soul inheritance?"
Ye Huiyin sighed as she finished speaking, then, noticing her daughter's downcast mood, quickly waved her hand.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go, Lingling, let's go back first."
Without waiting for a reply, Ye Huiyin took her daughter's hand and led her into the Haitang Medical Clinic.
After hearing her mother's words, Ye Lingling felt extremely down. Holding the books in one hand and letting her mother lead her with the other, she slowly moved inside.
Subconsciously, she turned around and glanced at the black figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance.
For some reason, a glimmer of light appeared in those beautiful blue eyes.
