People in Douluo: Ice Phoenix does not fight or compete

Chapter 107 107: Separation

Walking all the way to the center of the hall, the members of the Shui family became silent because of their arrival.

Each of them is a soul master, and the youngest among them has reached the soul master level.

More than 200 of the most loyal descendants of the Shui family in Beilin City gathered here. They had all heard the news that the chief elder of the family, Shui Tian, ​​was seriously injured and would not have much time left.

Shui Zhan announced it just now in front of everyone. He is a good disguiser. His eyes were misty while he spoke, as if tears were welling up in his eyes.

When the water people heard the news, they were heartbroken. The family’s hope was almost shattered and sadness spread wildly in the main hall.

When the three of them came closer, Shui Zhan quickly put on a compassionate look.

"Your Majesty Ling Yuan, you are here! Dear ones, please join me in thanking the three friends who came from afar to send our Elder Shui Tian home. Thank you~"

Shui Zhan bowed slightly and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to them for sending his brother home.

All the Shui family members present bowed at the same time, shouted their thanks loudly, and some couldn’t stop crying.

But they were in no mood to accept the thanks, so out of politeness Ling Yuan Douluo stretched out his hand to suppress them.

Her identity as a Titled Douluo gives her a lot of say here, because even if everyone in the hall joins forces, they can't defeat her.

There is an absolute iron rule in the soul master world that the strong are respected.

"What are you doing? Could it be that Xiaotian has already..." Lingyuan Douluo didn't dare to continue speaking. His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he didn't even notice the trembling in his voice.

Faced with the questioning, Shui Zhan and Ye Yunshu, who was dressed in a formal dress, were silent. They were liars with very good acting skills. They both lowered their heads slightly and did not speak.

"Where is he now? I want to see him, take me to see him!" Ling Yuan Douluo said more nervously. Could it be that Shui Tian is already dead? How is this possible?

"Ah~" Shui Shirong sighed and walked out, tears still hanging on his old face: "Your Majesty, don't worry. My Shui family's secret method can temporarily keep Xiaotian alive, but, but his body is almost completely destroyed, and his soul has been scattered. It's already, it's already impossible to save him~"

At this moment, Sophie's body swayed, and after inadvertently glancing at Zhu Zhuqing, her eyes became empty: "Mr. Shuitian~, um..."

She covered her mouth as if she didn't want to cry out loud, and no one knew where she got such strong feelings for Shui Tian that she couldn't tell whether they were true or false.

A figure fell beside Lingyuan Douluo, and she quickly hugged the girl and listened to her crying softly in her arms.

"The teacher did it all for me. It's all my fault..."

There was no sign of acting when Zhu Zhuqing cried, it was just that Shui Tian who was crying was standing in front of her to welcome the figure of the Clear Sky Hammer.

This made Ye Yunshu's eyes moisten. Thinking back to how Shui Tian was seriously injured, she felt so heartbroken.

In this situation, Ling Yuan Douluo didn't dare to show too much sadness. She had to be strong. She was a Titled Douluo, Shui Tian's mentor and friend, and the woman who had the greatest hope of becoming his other half.

"We want to see him, Patriarch Shuizhan and Madam Ye, let us go see him!" Lingyuan Douluo's tone did not admit of refusal, and this was also a reasonable request.

Shui Zhan nodded stiffly, waved his hand and turned his back as if to hide his sadness: "Yun Shu, please go there for the trip."

"Okay~" Ye Yunshu nodded in agreement with some trembling. Before she walked down the stairs, several equally sad voices came from the Shui family.

"I want to go too. I want to see my cousin Shuitian~"

This was a woman who looked less than 30 years old. She walked onto the central carpet with red eyes.

"And me, I also want to go see my cousin. I haven't seen him for three years. He clearly said he would come back to attend my wedding."

Another young member of the Shui family stood up. He was also Shui Tian’s close cousin.

"I…"

"Is my cousin awake now? I want to go see him too."

"..."

It was a complete mess. Regardless of whether they really had deep feelings for Shui Tian or not, all members of the Shui family asked to meet him.

This made Lingyuan Douluo and the other two feel mixed emotions, and a sense of distance emerged in their hearts. After all, they were Shuitian’s relatives!

The elders did not stop this situation, because some of them were also joining in the noise.

Shui Zhan, who turned around, felt indescribably uncomfortable. He didn't feel anything at first, but now he was really heartbroken by the yelling of these tribesmen.

"Anyone who wants to go may go, but only today! After the three guests have seen it, you can line up to see it. Xiaotian needs to rest, and no one is allowed to get within one meter of Xiaotian. If I find out that anyone disturbs his eternal sleep, I will expel him from the Shui family without mercy!"

His eyes also turned red, and he took this opportunity to force Ling Yuan Douluo and the others to look at Shui Tian properly, and to stop her from staying here for a long time.

She couldn't stay for long. She couldn't go without returning to the Spirit Hall for half a month or a month.

The entire clan obeyed the clan leader's orders. No one said anything to each other. They waited quietly for Ye Yunshu to come down step by step.

"Your Majesty, let's go. I'll take you to see him." Ye Yunshu hadn't stopped the tears in her eyes. A woman's talent is acting, and this talent will be multiplied in some women.

Lingyuan Douluo embraced Zhu Zhuqing, who was also crying softly, and followed her out of the hall. In addition to Sophie, there were a large number of members of the Shui family behind them.

They marched westward in a long, irregular line.

Shui Family Underground Secret Room
It can no longer be called a secret room after being seen by so many tribesmen.

He led the three people downstairs and pushed open the door.

The three of them were stunned, they saw an ice coffin placed in the center of the hexagram formation on the ground in front of them. Inside the ice coffin was Shui Tian, ​​who was sleeping peacefully in the clothes of a Shui family member.

His face was pale, as if the pure energy in the ice coffin was sustaining his heartbeat.

The moment she saw him, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't hold herself back and knelt on the ground. Her emotions suddenly burst out and she cried uncontrollably.

True feelings are most contagious to others. Sophie sniffed from the bottom of her heart, pursed her lips and stared absentmindedly at the man who really moved her.

"Xiaotian's current condition is expected to last about a month. His eldest brother, the elders and I don't know what to do! Should we let him sleep as soon as possible or accompany him until the end..." When Ye Yunshu said this, he couldn't hold back his tears. If he told too many lies, his emotions would passively believe them.

Now Ling Yuan Douluo couldn't control herself. She was a very proud woman, impulsive by nature, and fond of showing off. As a strong person, she was extremely cruel and cold-blooded by nature, a bit like an enhanced version of Liu Erlong.

But now she was also crying, and the regret in her heart was about to knock her down!
If I had been more resolute at the beginning, had been honest with my heart, and even had given up my dignity and sacrificed myself... perhaps everything would have changed dramatically!

The man she loves will surpass her and become the strongest Title Douluo in the future. He will definitely do it, she firmly believes. How glorious it will be for such a couple, and their demeanor will be engraved in the history books of the Spirit Hall and praised by the world.

But it's too late now, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

"Shui Tian, ​​why would you put yourself in such a situation for that woman? You are so stupid. You are simply the stupidest fool in the world~" Ling Yuan Douluo scolded angrily, and his tearful eyes could no longer contain the emotions that had been hidden for more than a decade.

He has been with her for ten years, but there is also someone who has been silently caring about him in her heart for more than ten years!
No one refuted her scolding, but Ye Yunshu silently took note of this sentence. In some letters they exchanged, she and Shui Zhan both knew about the woman named Liu Erlong, and she was often sad about this.

No matter how sad she was, the sadness and pain could not affect her judgment as a Titled Douluo.

Indeed, it would be difficult for his body to recover, and even if it were restored it would be impossible to heal the loss in his soul and spirit.

Shui Tian is now equivalent to a living dead. When the energy in the ice coffin is exhausted, he will bid farewell to this world forever in three days at most.

Recalling their first meeting, Lingyuan Douluo walked to the ice coffin with lotus steps.

Ye Yunshu didn't dare to stop her. Of course, the one-meter rule was of no use to her.

Looking down at Shui Tian, ​​Ling Yuan Douluo slowly leaned down, closed his eyes and left a light kiss on his forehead.

I didn’t dare touch his seemingly fragile skin. I could only be so close to him in my dreams.

With a kiss, he said goodbye to her years of attachment and put an imperfect end to his own relationship that had a beginning but no end.

The three women watched her quietly as she kissed Shuitian's forehead, then stood up and walked over with a stern face again.

"Let's go. There are still many of his relatives who want to come and see him. Let's not disturb them." Ling Yuan Douluo said in a calm tone. No matter how hard he tried to pretend to be indifferent and cold, no matter how much he wanted to say goodbye to this final relationship, it was useless. The sadness in his eyes was too obvious.

"Hmm~" Sophie responded softly, helped Zhu Zhuqing, who was a little too sad, and left with her.

Instead, Ye Yunshu was the last one to walk out of the secret room. She even wanted to use a silk scarf to wipe Shui Tian’s forehead.

There were many people gathered outside. Ye Yunshu came out and said apologetically, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will arrange for the clansmen to meet Xiaotian one by one and will not accompany you back. I think my master should still be waiting for you in the main hall."

"Don't let anyone disturb him." Lingyuan Douluo responded coldly and strode away, as if his cold attitude could bid farewell to this endless relationship.

Before leaving, Sophie nodded slightly to Ye Yunshu, who understood what she meant and blinked.

How she arranges for her tribesmen to meet Shuitian is her business. Those guys who have shown no respect to her over the years must be united and intimidated.

The seven soul rings possessed by the martial soul rose one after another from under his feet, as if he was using his cultivation to maintain order.

Facing so many clansmen, Ye Yunshu exposed his cultivation strength.

As she expected, the tribesmen opened their eyes wide in fear. The noisy sounds just now became extremely quiet.

Ye Yunshu then spoke and repeated the rules for visiting Shui Tian, ​​and added one more rule on the original basis: if anyone dared to touch Shui Tian's body without permission, she would personally destroy that person's soul power.

Spirit-eyed Ice Bird, a top-grade ice-attributed bird-type martial spirit.

This aura made Lingyuan Douluo look back, but just a glance.

A Soul Sage in his thirties was enough to shock the continent, but with Shui Tian, ​​such a top genius, before him, Ling Yuan Douluo really couldn't find any admiration for him.

She didn't even plan to report the Shui family's situation to Bibi Dong truthfully. She couldn't let his family become a thorn in the side of the Spirit Hall, and she had to do her best to downplay the Shui family's presence.

Halfway through the journey, Lingyuan Douluo suddenly said, "I'm going back to Wuhun City. Zhuqing and Sophie, have you two made up your mind?"

"Your Majesty, are you in such a hurry? The gentleman can hold on for a long time. I want to see him off before considering my own problems." Sophie's attitude was a little strange. It seemed that she hoped Lingyuan Douluo could stay for a few more days.

"You are thoughtful, but what's the point of sending him away? It will only add to our sadness." Lingyuan Douluo sighed sadly. He had been out for a long time and he absolutely could not wait for a month to return to the Spirit Hall.

Hearing this, Sophie lowered her head and said nothing, pretending to be stubborn so naturally.

Seeing her like this, Ling Yuan Douluo was too lazy to persuade her any further, but was willing to take care of her a little as they had been traveling together.

"If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come to the Spirit Hall to find me. I will help you arrange a job you like. It doesn't matter if you have other ideas. You can come to me if you encounter trouble in the future. It seems that for the sake of our meeting, I can help you once!" Lingyuan Douluo raised a finger. This is the promise of a strong man. The more powerful the soul master is, the more he cares about his promise, and Lingyuan Douluo is no exception.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have remembered what you said. If I don't stay in the Shui family in the future, I will definitely go to the Spirit Hall to find you. Thank you for your care along the way. It is my honor to meet you." Sophie performed a standard Star Luo Empire noble etiquette, thinking that she was afraid that she would never be able to ask for help from you in this lifetime.

Ling Yuan Douluo waved his hand indifferently. He was just a Soul King with great talent. It was unknown whether he could cultivate to the Soul Saint level in the future after he passed the best age for cultivation. It was not worth her paying too much attention to him.

On the contrary, it was this girl that gave her some troubles. She had good talent and would be one of the best in the Spirit Hall Academy. But there was nothing she could do because she was Shui Tian's student.

"Child, are you planning to stay here?" Lingyuan Douluo finally tried to ask with the answer.

Zhu Zhuqing was polite but not as polite as Sophie. She hadn't recovered from her emotions yet and said with a trembling voice, "I want to stay here with the teacher for a while. If the Shui family is willing, I want to join them and protect the family on behalf of the teacher."

What a sensible and good child! Ling Yuan Douluo felt sorry for her because she was his student. However, Ling Yuan Douluo looked a little unhappy: "Humph, how dare they disagree!"

"Zhu Qing, remember, no matter what troubles you encounter in the future, you can send someone to the Spirit Hall to deliver a letter to me. Take this." She took out a token and handed it over.

This token has a simple shape, and there are three different patterns on the upward side, representing three different powerful martial spirits on the continent.

It is an elder token of the Spirit Hall. Although it is not the highest level, it is a symbol of great power.

Zhu Zhuqing was a little hesitant and didn't want to take the token, and she felt hatred and guilt in her heart.

As if he had seen through her thoughts, Ling Yuan Douluo also showed some shame: "Child, you take it. I will report it to Pope Shui Tian. Anyway, I will not let the Spirit Hall take action against other members of the Shui family! You take this. Even if not for yourself, think about your teacher and the Shui family. If the situation on the continent changes in the future, this token can also protect you and the Shui family."

After hearing what she said, Zhu Zhuqing mustered up the courage to take the token, holding it tightly in her hand and saying reluctantly, "Thank you~"

"No need to thank me. I told you that you can call me teacher anytime if you want." Ling Yuan Douluo's attitude was very gentle. In the entire Shui family, he was the only one who had a good attitude towards her.

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent. Knowing that her teacher would not die, how could she call this woman her teacher anymore?

Thinking that she still blamed the Spirit Hall for wanting to kill Shui Tian, ​​Ling Yuan Douluo did not force her, but was just a little helpless and sad: "Let's go, I'll help you solve the problem before I leave, then Shui Zhan will give me face."

Sophie and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other silently, and saw the guilt in each other's eyes.

This Lingyuan Douluo was indeed good to them, and hiding this from her made both of them feel a little uncomfortable.

There was no way, Shuitian asked them to do this.
