Douluo: This soul master has a little bit of luck

Chapter 328 The Soul Palace Protectors Attack Again
In the VIP section, Qi Lin raised an eyebrow, a hint of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

This three-year agreement is really not worth watching compared to the original story.

The gap between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran was too great, so the battle was naturally not as exciting as in the original novel.

The women were also quite disappointed. They had originally thought that Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran could be like the lovers in the stories, going back and forth, evenly matched.

After accepting Yun Shan's apology, Xiao Yan did not leave immediately. Instead, he bowed slightly in the direction of Qi Lin in full view of everyone.

“Mr. Qi Lin, my father instructed me to greet you upon meeting you and to tell you that although the Xiao family is currently weak and powerless, we still look to you for guidance.”

When Qi Lin was in the Xiao family before, Xiao Yan didn't show Qi Lin much courtesy, treating him only as an ordinary friend among peers.

It was only after Qi Lin left the Xiao family that he learned a small part of Qi Lin's abilities from his father, which is why he spoke with more respect when he saw Qi Lin again.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.

Qi Lin is undoubtedly shrouded in mystery in everyone's eyes.

Those few who knew even a fraction of Qi Lin's true nature regarded him as a god.

Such an existence, even if one is only slightly connected with him, is absolutely someone that others would look up to.

Therefore, although they don't know exactly why Xiao Yan's family got involved with Qi Lin, it doesn't diminish their respect for the Xiao family.

Upon seeing this, Nalan Jie was filled with deep regret.

Because Nalan Yanran is the young sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, he knows more about Qi Lin than the Mu family and the Mittel family.

It was for this reason that he knew just how terrifying this young man was.

Even if only the tip of the iceberg is revealed, it is still enough to make everyone present look up to it.

Now that the Xiao family has boarded this ship, they are probably not far from soaring to great heights.

"Sigh, what a wonderful match! If only Yanran hadn't gone to the Xiao family to break off the engagement, how much better it would have been?"

Nalan Jie let out a long sigh.

On the other side, Qi Lin was slightly taken aback, then remembered.

After helping the Xiao family find the Xiao clan's original lineage, Xiao Zhan did say that from now on, the Xiao family would follow his lead.

But to be honest, Qi Lin didn't take loyalty to the Xiao family to heart.

After all, Qi Lin had no intention of building up his own power, so he naturally didn't need the Xiao family's loyalty.

Even if he were to recruit subordinates, given his current strength and growth rate, the Xiao family would still not be qualified.

However, since Xiao Yan had said it directly in public, Qi Lin didn't bother to refute it and asked with a smile, "How is your Xiao family?"

Xiao Yan said respectfully, "Thanks to you, the Xiao family is now thriving."

"Not bad, I'm very optimistic about the future of your Xiao family. Of course, you're also quite good; you've grown to this level in just three years," Qi Lin casually praised Xiao Yan.

Having received Qi Lin's approval, Xiao Yan smiled and replied, "Without Mr. Qi Lin's help to the Xiao family back then, how could I have achieved what I have today?"

Xiao Yan knew very well that while his teacher's guidance was undoubtedly a major factor in his success, the Heaven-rank cultivation technique he was currently practicing also played a significant role.

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked enlightened.

No wonder Xiao Yan was able to achieve so much at such a young age; it turns out that Qi Lin had his help.

That seems to make sense.

After all, Qi Lin's origins are mysterious, and he is very likely from a powerful force in Zhongzhou. It is rumored that he only gave Fa Ma a few pointers, and then helped Fa Ma break through to the sixth-grade alchemist.

And it was also because of him that Yunshan broke through to the Dou Zong level.

Given the precedents of Fa Ma and Yun Shan, it seems not impossible that he could help Xiao Yan grow from a mere good-for-nothing to his current level in just three years.

Of course, Qi Lin had no idea that everyone was having such a rich inner monologue.

He waved his hand casually, then said to Xiao Yan, "Even without me, you would have gotten to where you are today; it was just a matter of time."

Alright, since you've bowed to me, I can't leave without reciprocating. I've been at the Yunlan Sect these past few days. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to the Yunlan Sect to find me.

"Thank you, Mr. Qi Lin."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

According to my father, this Mr. Qi Lin has repaired countless techniques and fighting skills of the family, including some that are at the Earth or even Heaven level.

Therefore, Xiao Yan was well aware of how terrifying Qi Lin's mastery of martial arts and combat skills was; even his teacher was ashamed of his inferiority.

In fact, if the current situation weren't so inappropriate, Xiao Yan would have wanted to ask Qi Lin for advice on cultivation right now.

Upon seeing this, Yunshan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he smiled and said, "So it turns out that young friend Xiao Yan is acquainted with young friend Qi Lin. In that case, why doesn't young friend Xiao Yan stay at Yunlan Sect for the time being?"

This way, not only can I better learn from young friend Qi Lin, but my Yunlan Sect can also offer some compensation to young friend Xiao Yan.

"This..." Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with interest.

In the end, they settled down at the Yunlan Sect.

With the three-year agreement coming to an end, Xiao Yan cherished this opportunity for the next few days, constantly asking Qi Lin for advice on cultivation.

At first, he only asked questions about his own cultivation.

Later, Xiao Yan discovered that Qi Lin was also extremely skilled in alchemy, even surpassing Yao Lao in skill.

Then Xiao Yan began to ask questions about alchemy.

At first, he asked for himself, but gradually it evolved into asking for the sake of the old doctor.

In the end, it was Qi Lin who couldn't take it anymore. After Xiao Yan asked another question on behalf of Yao Lao, he sighed and looked at the black ring on Xiao Yan's hand, saying, "If you have any questions, you can just come out and ask me directly. Why keep having Xiao Yan ask on your behalf?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly.

Has the teacher been exposed?
Just as Xiao Yan was pondering how to help his teacher keep the secret, Yao Lao's illusory body suddenly floated out from the ring in Xiao Yan's hand, a sheepish look appearing on his aged face.

The old apologetic bowed and said, "I was being petty and judging you by my own standards. With your soul power, young friend, you must have sensed my presence long ago."

Qi Lin was too lazy to listen to what he had to say and simply waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, teaching one is the same as teaching two. If you have any questions, just ask them all at once."

"Young friend, your magnanimity truly puts this old man to shame."

……

At the same time, outside the Yunlan Sect, a cloud of black mist silently surged into the sect.

"Hehehe, that idiot Protector Wu lost contact here?"

"This protector will see just how dangerous this place is."
