Chapter 222 Views on the Spirit Hall
Withdrawing his gaze from where the Jade Crown stood, Ye Qifeng smiled faintly and said to Liu Erlong:
"It's not that I can't tell you. If you want to know, Sister Erlong, I certainly won't hide it from you. I just hope you won't be too surprised."
"Okay, Xiaofeng, you go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong looked at him with bright eyes, nodded gently, and added, "I will keep it a secret for you too."
Then Ye Qifeng smiled faintly:
"Actually, I come from Wuhun City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Luomian, who was on a giant tree not far away in the dark, trembled and his breathing became a little heavier, as if his certain speculation was being confirmed step by step.
However, he dared not reveal any of his thoughts, because there was another Title Douluo secretly watching him closely.
His every move was under the surveillance of that titled Douluo.
"Spirit City? So, Xiao Feng, you're from the Spirit Hall?!"
Liu Erlong opened his mouth slightly and whispered softly.
She had some guesses about Ye Qifeng's identity.
She was convinced that Ye Qifeng was a genius or successor of a powerful force.
Because Ye Qifeng's strength was truly terrifying.
She had never heard of anyone in the world who, at the age of eleven, had already cultivated to the level of a Soul King with a Soul Power of 53 and a Five-Ring.
Aside from those powerful forces, she didn't believe there was anywhere else that could cultivate such a monstrous genius.
In addition, she also speculated that Ye Qifeng might have come from the Spirit Hall.
Because it is easy to see from his attitude that Ye Qifeng is quite close to and protective of the Spirit Hall.
After all, Ye Qifeng had defended the Spirit Hall on the issue of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, and it was clear that the latter was on the Spirit Hall's side.
Although Liu Erlong had already made some guesses, she still couldn't hide her surprise when she got the answer from Ye Qifeng.
Upon hearing that Ye Qifeng was actually from the Spirit Hall, Liu Erlong was surprised, but also felt a mix of emotions, and her slender eyebrows furrowed slightly without her noticing.
When Liu Erlong was a girl, as a commoner soul master, she greatly admired and longed for the Spirit Hall, the holy land of soul masters.
After all, her spirit, the Fire Dragon, was awakened for free with the help of the Spirit Hall. Later, after becoming a Spirit Master, she received a monthly Spirit Master contribution from the Spirit Hall for a considerable period of time.
Because her mother came from a poor background and was a frail woman, the mother and daughter, who depended on each other for survival, lived in extreme poverty during their childhood. Later, the mother fell seriously ill, which made their already impoverished life even more difficult.
Fortunately, after Liu Erlong officially became a Soul Master, she could receive a monthly Soul Master allowance from the Spirit Hall, which improved her life somewhat.
Therefore, Liu Erlong, in her youth, always felt grateful to the Spirit Hall and admired and longed for it immensely.
However, after her mother passed away, Liu Erlong suffered a huge blow and her personality changed drastically. Driven by the determination to seek justice for her mother, she began to travel across the continent in order to improve her own strength.
Until she met "Four-Eyed Cat Owl" Flander and Master Yu Xiaogang, the three formed a group - the "Golden Iron Triangle" - and together they ventured across the continent.
With their three-person martial soul fusion skill—Golden Sacred Dragon—the "Golden Iron Triangle" gradually made a name for themselves.
however.
While gaining fame, troubles also followed.
The ensuing troubles, while not directly killing them, put them in constant danger and placed them in perilous situations.
And all these troubles actually came from the Spirit Hall, the sacred place of soul masters that she was grateful for, admired, and longed for.
Later, Liu Erlong learned that the Spirit Hall's targeting of them was actually on the orders of the Spirit Hall's supreme ruler, Pope Qian Xunji.
The target was the weakest member of the "Golden Triangle," the "Wisdom Corner," which was...
Master Yu Xiaogang.
Liu Erlong and Flander were implicated and suffered an undeserved disaster.
Meanwhile, Liu Erlong was gradually captivated by Master Yu Xiaogang's so-called talent and sweet talk, and began to fall in love with him.
After Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang tearfully recounted his persecution and targeting by the Spirit Hall, the various unfair treatments he suffered, and launched a fierce accusation against the Spirit Hall.
Flander, who shared the same pants as Yu Xiaogang and was also very loyal, immediately expressed his support for Yu Xiaogang and stood by him through thick and thin.
Because of the feelings that arose in Liu Erlong's heart, coupled with her sense of loyalty, her hatred of evil and her inability to tolerate the bullying of the weak, she also chose to believe in Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang and stand with him to face the oppression and threats of the Spirit Hall.
then.
Under the subtle influence of the master Yu Xiaogang, who was as eloquent as a soprano.
Liu Erlong's view of the Spirit Hall gradually changed, from gratitude, admiration, and longing to dislike and hatred.
Therefore, when Liu Erlong heard that Ye Qifeng came from the Spirit Hall of Spirit City, she was surprised, but also had mixed feelings.
However, unlike the useless master Yu Xiaogang, she was not extreme and did not have the same obsessive and twisted hatred for the Spirit Hall.
The reason she frowned was merely an unintentional, subconscious action, and she quickly realized it was inappropriate and restrained herself.
But how could such a small trick escape the notice of the meticulous Ye Qifeng?
He noticed it in an instant.
Ye Qifeng noticed Liu Erlong's suddenly furrowed brows, but he wasn't surprised.
After all, Liu Erlong had spent many years with the useless master and had been deceived in matters of the heart. It was normal for her to have a bad impression of the Spirit Hall due to the influence of the useless master.
Moreover, the Spirit Hall is a large and powerful organization, so it's inevitable that there are many things it hasn't done well.
After all, the Spirit Hall also has its share of corrupt elements.
Because of the existence of these parasites, the Spirit Hall has handled some things very poorly, even appallingly.
Therefore, Ye Qifeng does not require everyone to like, respect, or cherish the Spirit Hall.
However, since Liu Erlong was ultimately his adopted sister, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but ask:
"Second Sister, don't you like the Spirit Hall?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. She first shook her head quickly, then hesitated for two seconds, deciding that she should tell the truth, and then nodded gently.
Before Liu Erlong could speak, Ye Qifeng chuckled softly and said to her:
"Don't you think that the Spirit Hall acts arrogantly and domineeringly, without any scruples, forcefully and unreasonably, relying on its strength to bully, oppress, and harm the weak, and always suppressing others with force? You think it's no good, but an evil organization?"
"what?"
Liu Erlong was a little confused. She stared in surprise and disbelief, her mouth agape. She thought to herself, "Xiao Feng, aren't you from the Spirit Hall?"
How can you slander the very power you come from?
How could you say such things?
Although I don't like the Spirit Hall and even dislike it a bit, it doesn't seem as serious or as terrible as you say, does it?
Perhaps the Spirit Hall is indeed not a good thing, but to call it an evil organization is a bit of an overstatement, isn't it?
Liu Erlong kept thinking about it.
After a moment, seemingly realizing that his expression was inappropriate, he quickly composed himself and said softly:
"Xiao Feng, I do not particularly like the Spirit Hall, but aren't you going a bit too far?"
"Oh? You agree? Doesn't that's what Sister Erlong thinks?"
Ye Qifeng said calmly, a smile on his face, but a deep meaning flashed in his eyes, as if full of temptation.
Liu Erlong nodded with an "Mmm," and then, carefully choosing her words, began to express her views on the Spirit Hall:
"As far as I know, the Spirit Hall is indeed domineering and tyrannical in some matters, but it is not unscrupulous or unreasonable. Relatively speaking, the Spirit Hall is already quite restrained."
"If you call it tough, then you're not wrong. After all, the Spirit Hall is the most powerful spirit master force in the entire Douluo Continent. If it's not tough, how can it deter other spirit masters and spirit master forces?"
"I think this is exactly what I should do."
"And let's not even talk about the Spirit Hall. Which spirit master force isn't like this? The three upper sects and the four lower sects, those big forces, might do even more outrageous things than the Spirit Hall."
"However, it is also a fact that the Spirit Hall occasionally bullies, oppresses, and harms the weak, and suppresses others by force, relying on its strength."
"The reason I dislike the Spirit Hall is because I have a good friend who suffered unwarranted exploitation, attacks, threats, and persecution from the Spirit Hall."
"The Spirit Hall's actions are utterly despicable."
At this point, Liu Erlong's expression couldn't help but change.
Ye Qifeng squatted down in front of her, wiping the remaining grease from the rabbit meat on his hands while glancing up at her without saying anything.
After a few breaths, Liu Erlong calmed down, parted her red lips slightly, and continued speaking:
"While I may not like it, the Spirit Hall has done many excellent things, especially in its treatment of civilians."
"The Spirit Hall treats ordinary people very kindly. It not only provides free spirit awakening for eligible children of ordinary people, but also provides monthly spirit master allowances for ordinary people."
"I greatly admire and am very grateful for what the Spirit Hall has done. After all, it was with the help of the Spirit Hall that I awakened my spirit and received the monthly spirit master allowance for a long time, which improved my difficult life."
"In addition, the Spirit Hall's Pan-Continental Trade Alliance, which has been promoted in recent years, has also been very successful. It has developed trade among ordinary people, and countless people have earned a lot of money and improved their lives as a result."
"So, the Spirit Hall, this Spirit Master force, well, it has its good and bad sides. To say it's not a good thing is barely acceptable, but to say it's an evil organization is extremely inappropriate."
Ye Qifeng listened quietly to Liu Erlong's account. He hadn't expected that Liu Erlong's view of the Spirit Hall would be so objective. Moreover, she seemed to have no resentment or hatred towards the Spirit Hall, only a slight dislike for the useless Master Yu Xiaogang.
This surprised and delighted Ye Qifeng.
Think about it.
More than ten years have passed since Liu Erlong and the useless master parted ways. She has not continued to be brainwashed by the useless master's sweet words. As time goes by, Liu Erlong's view of the Spirit Hall will inevitably change and return to the right track.
"Xiao Feng, since you are a member of the Spirit Hall, your understanding of the Spirit Hall should be much clearer than mine, which is to say, that of a self-taught Soul Master."
As she spoke, Liu Erlong glanced at Ye Qifeng and said with a hint of reproach:
"Sister, although I don't like the Spirit Hall, there are reasons for it, and it's just a few conflicts."
"I don't think it's some kind of evil organization like you say. You can't wrongly accuse me!"
Hearing Liu Erlong's reproachful tone, Ye Qifeng coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said:
"Ahem, Sister Erlong, that was just a joke, don't take it seriously. I didn't mean to wrong you."
"On the contrary, I am very happy and agree with my sister's views on the Spirit Hall, because my sister's views are actually quite objective."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong smiled sweetly. After a moment, her smile faded, her expression became extremely serious, and she gazed at Ye Qifeng with eyes as clear as water, emphasizing to him:
"Xiao Feng, your sister won't dislike you just because you were born in the Spirit Hall. You are my adopted brother, and no matter where you come from, your sister will treat you well."
"Yes, I believe in Sister Erlong."
Ye Qifeng nodded, and said earnestly, "Me too. No matter what your background is, I will treat you well."
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's face lit up with a smile. Looking at Ye Qifeng carefully wiping the greasy hands of her, she felt both satisfied and warm.
The warmth from her palms, in particular, brought her immense peace and comfort, and she couldn't help but become somewhat captivated by it.
After wiping away the last trace of grease from Liu Erlong's delicate hands and restoring them to their smooth and white state, Ye Qifeng stood up.
Under Liu Erlong's ever-present gaze, he walked back to the fire and casually added a few pieces of smokeless firewood, making the fire burn brighter and the air warmer.
It was already nighttime in Sunset Forest.
The air at night felt damp and chilly. Considering Liu Erlong's weak condition, Ye Qifeng thought he should try his best to make her feel warm and comfortable.
Then, he walked over, picked up the astonished Liu Erlong, and at the same time activated his soul power, covering his feet. With a casual kick, he sent the rock Liu Erlong was sitting on moving closer to the fire.
Then he carried her over and placed her back on the stone.
As she drew closer to the fire and felt the gentle warmth in the air, Liu Erlong's face flushed unusually. It was unclear whether it was due to the high temperature of the fire or some strange emotion stirring within her.
On a giant tree not far away.
Yu Luomian watched Ye Qifeng's sudden movement and couldn't help but rub her teeth together, clenching her fists, which were as big as sandbags, and then letting them down, clenching them up and letting them down again.
This went on and on, and in the end, all I could do was frown and watch secretly, my feelings incredibly complicated.
Ye Qifeng moved Liu Erlong closer to the fire and sat down as well, looking at Liu Erlong and saying:
"Sister Erlong, you must be from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, right? Hmm, that doesn't quite make sense. You should say that you have the blood of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus."
"Huh? Xiao Feng, how did you know?"
Liu Erlong turned her head instantly to look at Ye Qifeng, her face filled with shock and doubt. She didn't remember telling Xiaofeng that she possessed the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. How did he know?
Not far away, Yu Luomian, with mixed feelings, suddenly turned her head and shifted her gaze from her daughter Liu Erlong to the boy, well, the so-called younger brother Liu Erlong mentioned, "Xiao Feng," with curiosity and inquiry in her eyes.
but.
This brings to mind previous speculations.
Yu Luomian quickly calmed down again, thinking to himself that if the identity of Xiao Feng, the younger brother Erlong mentioned, was indeed the one I had speculated about, he should be able to recognize Erlong's background through Erlong's Fire Dragon Martial Soul.
Thinking of this, Yu Luomian instantly felt relieved, but her eyes still held a look of curiosity and inquiry.
