Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 169 Arrangement
After discussing the battle armor and related matters of the Mingdu forces with Jing Hongchen for a long time, Lin Po finally decided to leave the academy.

However, just before stepping out of the office, Jing Hongchen suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Don't let Xiaomeng down."

Lin Po turned his head, stared at Jing Hongchen's unusually wide eyes, and smiled slightly.

"of course."

After briefly stating his commitment, he walked out the door without looking back.

"This kid is really not polite."

Seeing Lin Po's resolute yet carefree demeanor, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but chuckle and scold him, which completely put his worries to rest.

"Let's go see Master Kong. I wonder how he will react when he finds out that he still has relatives alive."

. . .

After leaving Jing Hongchen, Lin Po immediately found a secluded corner and teleported back to Mingdu's courtyard.

As soon as he appeared, he was bumped into by a soft, delicate body and stumbled.

Seeing this, Lin Po scooped up the dizzy Xiao Xiao from his arms, then looked at the girls laughing and playing in the room with a black line on his forehead.

Are you demolishing a house?

"Hey, Little Po, you're back!"

The increasingly carefree Han Ruoruo seemed not to hear Lin Po's question at all. She skipped and hopped to Lin Po's side and grabbed one of his arms.

But before Lin Po could raise his hand to punch her head, two soft cries rang out at the same time.

"Han Ruoruo! I think you're asking for a beating!"

"Sister Ruoruo! You're cheating!"

Zhang Lexuan and Meng Hongchen, their pretty faces filled with anger, rushed to Lin Po's side, grabbed Han Ruoruo, and pulled her away.

"Oh no! Little Po, save me! Those two are so fierce!"

However, Han Ruoruo's teasing words did not elicit the slightest pity from Lin Po, and in the end, she could only be pulled aside by Zhang Lexuan and the other person to receive a 'cruel' lesson.

"Brother Linpo, you're back."

The lovely voice brought Lin Po back to his senses, who was still watching the show. He looked down and saw that it was coming from Xiao Xiao, whose face was flushed.

'This girl seems unassuming and doesn't fight for anything, but it's like she always ends up getting the better deal.'

Lin Po chuckled inwardly, then kissed the little girl's forehead.

"Yeah. I'm back."

The intimate gesture made Xiao Xiao blush, but it was also seen by Han Ruoruo, who was still receiving education not far away.

Then, amidst Lin Po's helpless expression, he shouted loudly:

"Look! Little Po is kissing Little Xiao!"

"Sister Ruoruo, you really deserve a beating today!"

As Lin Po sighed, the group started playing around again, a lively scene that left Ling Luo Chen and Ning Tian looking at each other, standing there helplessly.

A moment later, Lin Po, who was the strongest among those present, easily suppressed everyone.

Zhang Lexuan, Meng Hongchen, and the others sat obediently on the sofa, listening to Lin Po's reprimand.

Han Ruoruo, meanwhile, covered the large bump on her forehead and looked at Lin Po with feigned grievance.

Finally, Lin Po couldn't stand Han Ruoruo's pitiful, manipulative appearance any longer, so he reluctantly gave her a bit of life force.

"Alright, alright, I've healed you! Be careful next time! You're supposed to be a Soul Saint, yet you bang your head against the wall!"

"It's all the young lady's fault. If she hadn't pushed me..."

"Han Ruoruo, if you dare to act out the plots from the storybooks again, I'll kick you out of the sect!"

Zhang Lexuan's loud shout interrupted Han Ruoruo's teasing conversation and also drew the attention of Lin Po and the others, who all looked at her with unusually strange expressions.

"Expelled from the household? That word doesn't seem quite right here. Has Sister Lexuan also been poisoned by what Wu San wrote?"

When Zhang Lexuan came to her senses and realized what she had said, a blush quickly spread across her fair cheeks, and she stammered, unable to speak.

'How embarrassing! I really can't read those storybooks anymore!'

Seeing this, Lin Po affectionately patted Zhang Lexuan's head.

Just as Zhang Lexuan looked up at her beloved younger brother with a touched expression, Lin Po's next words completely stunned her.

"If Sister Lexuan likes it, I'll send someone to buy all the storybooks on the market for you." "Ah!! Xiaopo, I didn't mean that!"

After another chaotic scene, Lin Po finally managed to calm Zhang Lexuan down, who was in a frenzy.

Then, under the beautiful woman's ashamed and indignant gaze, Lin Po, clutching his lower back where he had just been struck, began to explain his plans.

"Xiao Meng and Xiao Xiao will continue their training and studies according to the previous plan. Don't worry about the 'battle armor'. I will make it for you two myself when the time comes."

"It's not advisable for Sister Ruoruo and Ling Luochen to show their faces in public for the time being, so they should stay in this courtyard to cultivate for now."

Don't worry, the resources will be much more plentiful than when you were at Shrek Academy.

"Ok."

"Yes, yes, I'll do whatever Little Po says!"

Ling Luochen was very satisfied with the arrangement, and she was also deeply moved by Lin Po's respect and dedication.

The slight resentment in my heart vanished at that moment.

Han Ruoruo was different. If it weren't for Zhang Lexuan's restraint, she probably would have jumped up and pounced on Lin Po right now.

Ignoring Han Ruoruo's excitement, Lin Po looked at Ning Tian, ​​who had remained silent.

"As for Ning Tian, ​​your words were indeed not in my plan at first, but since you have chosen this side, I cannot let you suffer any injustice."

The fact that the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect relocated to the Sun Moon Empire is common knowledge. Without any foundation in the Sun Moon Empire, you are easily suppressed and annexed.

Therefore, I will provide you with a suitable place to rebuild your sect, plus an opportunity to advance your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, in exchange for your sect's loyalty. What do you say?

Ning Tian's expression changed constantly as he listened to the series of twists and turns, but upon hearing the exclusive term "Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda," he disregarded the need to fight for the sect's interests and decisively agreed.

"Very well, I, Ning Tian, ​​in my capacity as the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, hereby declare..."

At this point, Ning Tian suddenly stopped speaking, looking at Lin Po with great difficulty, unsure of how to address him.

Lin Po noticed this as well, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and softly uttered four words.

"The Marquis of One Hundred Victories".

"Oh. Bowing down to Marquis Lin Po of the Hundred Victories? Huh? Marquis?!"

As Ning Tian exclaimed in surprise, the other girls also widened their beautiful eyes and stared intently at the calm-faced young man.

As the girl who had spent the most time with Lin Po in the Mingdu region, Meng Hongchen immediately asked with concern:

"Brother Linpo, when did you become a marquis?"

The girls didn't show the joy Lin Po had imagined; instead, they all wore worried expressions, waiting for their beloved's explanation.

Lin Po sighed slightly, realizing that the girls around him were all too smart, and there were some things that simply couldn't be kept secret.

In the end, he could only explain in a soft voice.

"It was a reward given to me by the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire today."

Of course, there are bound to be some twists and turns, but it's not a big problem; everything will be fine once he's dead.

After hearing Lin Po's explanation, although the women were still somewhat worried, the confidence in his tone gave them endless reassurance.

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now! With the title of Marquis, Xiao Po's plan can be implemented more effectively."

As the eldest sister, Zhang Lexuan immediately made the decision to skip the topic.

"Okay. I'll continue then."

Lin Po glanced at Zhang Lexuan with a hint of gratitude and continued:
"Finally, there's Sister Lexuan. You and Sister Ruoruo might be a little different, which is related to your status."

"Sister Lexuan, release your martial spirit."

Although Zhang Lexuan had some doubts, she still listened to her younger brother and obediently released her Moon Martial Soul.

Immediately afterward, Meng Hongchen sprang up from the sofa as if propelled by a spring, exclaiming in surprise:

"A Moon Martial Soul?! How is this possible?!"

Meng Hongchen's voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all turned their curious gazes toward her.

Xiao Xiao, who was closest to her, also asked a question at the right time.

"Sister Meng, is there a problem with Eldest Sister's martial soul?"

Meng Hongchen, his face contorted with complex emotions, glanced back and forth between Lin Po and Zhang Lexuan before finally fixing his gaze on the illusory image of the full moon.

"The Moon Martial Soul is as famous as the Sun Martial Soul. Both are inherited martial souls of the Sun and Moon royal families, and it is also the origin of the name 'Moon' in the Sun and Moon Empire."
