Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 155: Begins to Take on Sect Affairs

After adjusting the training plan for the Tianshui team, Yu Xiaolie did not stay in Tianshui City for long.

After Shui Qing'er packed her things and said goodbye to Granny Shui, Yu Xiaolie led Shui Qing'er and A Yin on their journey back to the Blue Lightning Sect.

Several days later, as the carriage slowly came to a stop at the gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ground.

The bright red light cast three long shadows.

Shui Qing'er followed closely beside Yu Xiaolie, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt, her eyes filled with both anticipation and a hint of trepidation.

Ah Yin walked quietly to the other side, her long silver-blue hair fluttering in the wind, her gaze tender as she looked at Shui Qing'er, just as nervous as when she first met her parents.

Immediately, A Yin stepped forward, took Shui Qing'er's hand, and gently comforted her, telling her not to be too nervous.

Encouraged by Ah Yin, Shui Qing'er nodded, and the group headed towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

It was the same old way of sending messages with fireworks, and Yu Xiaolie smiled slightly.

Upon entering the main hall, Yu Zhentian, Yu Zhenhai, and the current sect leader Yu Yuanzhen were seated in the highest positions.

After exchanging a few words with Yu Xiaolie, their gazes fell on Shui Qing'er.

Seeing this, Shui Qing'er took a deep breath, stepped forward, and respectfully bowed:

"Great-Grandpa, Second Grandpa, Uncle, hello. My name is Shui Qing'er. I am a descendant of the Tianshui Phoenix Clan and the granddaughter of Shui Jingxin."

Her voice was clear and bright, but a hint of nervousness could be heard in it.

Yu Xiaolie also stepped forward to explain, "Qing'er was forced into a blind date by the Spirit Hall, so I went to Tianshui City to pick her up and brought her here. I thought we could let her live in our house from now on."

The three people seated exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

What does it mean to live in your own home? This young woman is a virgin, and she's coming to live with you long-term. As an elder, how could you not see that?

Last time, Yu Xiaolie brought back a transformed soul beast named A Yin; this time, he actually kidnapped a descendant of the Tianshui Phoenix Clan.

You little rascal, you manage to balance cultivation and romance!
Yu Zhentian stroked his snow-white beard, a kind smile on his face, and said:

"Haha, Xiao Lie's friends are our Blue Lightning Sect's friends!"

Immediately, he turned to the maid beside him and instructed her with barely suppressed joy:
"Go, arrange a fine guest room for Miss Shui, let her stay next to Ah Yin's."

Shui Qing'er blushed slightly and secretly glanced at Yu Xiaolie.

Ah Yin gently held her hand and whispered, "Don't be nervous, they are all very nice people."

Shui Qing'er nodded, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.

After the maid led Shui Qing'er and A Yin away, Yu Zhentian's smile faded. He exchanged a glance with Yu Yuanzhen, then said to Yu Xiaolie:

"Xiao Lie, come with us for a moment."

The three elders, along with Yu Xiaolie, formed a group of four and entered the sect leader's office together.

The door is closed.

As the head of the family, Yu Zhentian gestured for everyone to sit down, while he stood by the window with his back to them. After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"Xiao Lie, you are now a Soul Saint. At your age, such an achievement is unparalleled on the continent."

As he spoke, Yu Zhentian said in a low voice, with a hint of emotion in his voice:
"But the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. With your talent, you are bound to attract jealousy and even unnecessary trouble."

Yu Xiaolie sat calmly in the chair and asked:

"What does Grandpa mean?"

Yu Zhentian turned around and looked at Yu Xiaolie with kind eyes.

As a grandfather, he thought long and hard. One concern was that a sect prodigy like Yu Xiaolie might be assassinated by other forces.

Secondly, with a talent like Yu Xiaolie's, it's inevitable that he will become the new sect leader of the Blue Lightning Sect after Yu Yuanzhen if he continues to cultivate.

Therefore, he discussed with Yu Zhenhai and Yu Yuanzhen about having Yu Xiaolie stay by Yu Yuanzhen's side to handle sect affairs.

Firstly, there is family protection, so safety can be guaranteed.

Secondly, by familiarizing him with the sect's affairs as soon as possible, he can be trained according to the sect leader's standards.

Therefore, Yu Zhentian first asked in a deep voice:

"Xiao Lie, tell me, what are your plans next?"

Without hesitation, Yu Xiaolie replied:

"Let's find a place to continue our cultivation."

"Xiao Lie, would you like to come with me and help with sect affairs?"

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly tapped on an exquisite belt around his waist, the very same belt that had failed to be passed on at the sect's grand ceremony—the one that symbolized the successor's position.

The implication was crystal clear: they intended to groom Yu Xiaolie as the sect's heir.

The room fell silent for a moment, and even breathing could be heard clearly.

Yu Xiaolie lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and slowly shook his head:

"Father, I am not strong enough."

Yu Xiaolie's meaning was very clear: he had his own cultivation plan and absolutely could not be distracted by the trivial matters of the sect.

Yu Zhentian frowned, couldn't help but step forward, and hurriedly said:
"Xiao Lie, it was my fault back then for not recognizing your potential sooner. But over the years, the family has been trying its best to make up for it. Are you still angry with me?"

His tone was urgent, even pleading.

"..."

Yu Xiaolie was speechless.

The scene was awkward for a while.

Seeing this, the second grandfather coughed lightly, breaking the tense atmosphere, and said:

"Brother, Xiao Lie is probably just worried about it affecting his cultivation. As long as we help him cultivate, I believe he will have no problem assisting Yuan Zhen."

He looked at Yu Xiaolie, then at Yu Zhentian, and finally couldn't help but say, "Actually, there is another forbidden area for the family in Thunder Valley behind the sect."

"Forbidden place?"

Yu Xiaolie raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.

Yu Zhentian suddenly waved his hand, his emotions running high:

"No way! No one with the strength of a Contra Douluo can go there; going in is suicide!"

Yu Zhenhai said, "Brother, let Xiao Lie give it a try. If he succeeds, it will greatly benefit his growth."

From childhood to adulthood, no one in the sect understood Yu Xiaolie's inherent resilience better than his second grandfather.

In addition, given his understanding of Yu Xiaolie's indomitable spirit, he dared to let Yu Xiaolie give it a try.

Yu Zhenhai turned to Yu Xiaolie, his expression becoming serious, and explained to Yu Xiaolie:

"That forbidden area is called 'Thunder Prison,' a trial ground left behind by the first sect leader."

You've already witnessed the constant thunder in the valley, but there's another place we've never taken you deep into.

Going deeper into the altar, the power of lightning is strongest there, and it can even temper a martial soul. Therefore, it is the best holy land for our family's disciples to break through to the Title Douluo level.

However, the danger is also immense. Historically, several Soul Douluos who entered this realm were unable to adapt but forcibly continued training, ultimately suffering severe injuries and losing ten levels of cultivation.

Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Yu Zhentian couldn't stand it any longer and slammed his fist on the table, shouting, "Second brother! Are you crazy? Xiao Lie is only a Soul Saint!"

It wasn't that he didn't believe in Yu Xiaolie's talent, but rather that he dared not take the risk. Yu Xiaolie was the sect's most precious treasure, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.

"You all never understand Xiao Lie! Ever since he awakened his martial soul, just because he awakened a mutated, useless martial soul, when have you ever given him a second glance?!"

Xiao Lie trained diligently, honing his fighting skills to perfection. Even without his martial spirit, no child his age could defeat him. Only I know how hard he worked!

The second grandfather and the first grandfather immediately started arguing.

Yu Xiaolie saw this and felt a pang of sadness in his heart, but then he laughed.

His smile was faint, yet it exuded an undeniable confidence.

"Don't say anything, of course I'm going."

"you!"

Yu Zhen was so angry that his beard stood on end.

Yu Xiaolie stood up, glanced at the three of them, and said:
“Grandfather, Father, you should know better than anyone that true strength is never achieved under protection.”

Yu Xiaolie's single sentence left Yu Zhentian speechless.

He then solemnly promised:
"If I can adapt to the environment of Thunder Prison and improve my cultivation speed, then I can also assist in handling sect affairs."

After a long silence, Yu Zhentian sighed deeply, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

"Fine... Since you insist on this, I will personally escort you into the valley three days from now."

But you must promise me that you absolutely cannot act rashly and ruin your own cultivation.

Yu Xiaolie said decisively:
"Of course!"
