Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 173 Not even the soup is changed?
What if a brilliant strategist suddenly appeared who wanted all the families and sects to submit to the royal family?

Good heavens, needless to say, the entire continent instantly erupted into chaos, with fighting even more brutal than the war between the two great empires.

"If that's the case, then I understand. But since the Spirit Hall supports the Heaven Dou's unification of the continent, what are the specific plans?"

"After unification, where will the various families and sects stand?"

"Little Fish, why don't you tell Auntie? I'm a little curious. Don't worry, Auntie's mouth is definitely tight, she won't let it slip."

After thinking for a while, Ye Qingyin stepped forward and hugged Bai Yu's arm, asking with a face full of curiosity.

It's no wonder she wanted to inquire. If the Spirit Hall were to intervene personally, then there would be no doubt about it. With the Spirit Hall's power, all forces would have to submit.

However, since the unification is being carried out by the Heavenly Dou Empire, things could get complicated. If the families and sects on the continent are not given a proper status, they might start causing trouble.

Bai Yu, seeing that Ye Qingyin had believed his fabricated lies, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Yu didn't tell her that the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince was a fake, but someone from the Spirit Hall, not because she was afraid she would let it slip.

Rather, the truth is that since the Spirit Hall isn't planning to get involved, they might as well bury the whole thing about the fake crown prince and keep it quiet to avoid causing any fear.

"Hehe, of course I know Auntie won't tell anyone, but the Spirit Hall is still discussing this matter, and I don't know the specifics."

"But the initial decision is that the families and sects will remain unchanged, although the Spirit Hall and the Empire will both supervise them."

"Generally speaking, it's like a family or sect. They can do whatever they want on their own territory, but they can't go out and cause trouble or affect ordinary people."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, Ye Qingyin immediately let go of Bai Yu's arm, walked to the side and sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.

She's not worried at all now. This model is exactly the same as the Ye family's before, except for the addition of so-called supervision. So even if it's unified, the Ye family won't be any different.

Bai Yu chuckled and went over to sit on the other side. This Ye Qingyin was still so genuine, always looking out for people when she needed them and backing out when she didn't.

After finishing their business, Baiyu and the other two started chatting about everyday things.

During this time, Ye Qingyin tried several roundabout ways to find out how Bai Yu and Ye Lingling got together, but Ye Lingling always managed to deflect her questions.

And the conversation lasted for an entire afternoon. Baiyu felt that this was probably the feeling when he went out to visit relatives in his previous life. If he were still an ordinary person, he would be covered in sweat by now.

As the sun had already set, Ye Qingyin looked up outside and, as if belatedly realizing something, exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh dear, it's already so late? Xiaoyu, you came to see Lingling, but Auntie didn't let you two spend any time alone. I'm so sorry."

"How about this, Xiaoyu, you stay here tonight. Auntie will ask the kitchen to prepare a nice meal so you and Lingling can have dinner together and get to know each other better."

Seeing Ye Qingyin's remorseful look, Bai Yu would have believed it if she didn't know she was doing it on purpose.

He then turned to look at Ye Lingling and saw that Ye Lingling's eyes also held eagerness. Bai Yu chuckled and nodded in agreement.

"Hehe, then I'll trouble Aunt Ye. I'll shamelessly bother you here for the night."

Ye Qingyin immediately beamed with joy, thinking to herself:
"It was all worth it. I've been talking all afternoon, and my mouth is so dry. Daughter, you'd better seize this opportunity." Ye Qingyin then stood up and walked outside.

"No trouble at all, Xiaoyu, you and Lingling chat for a while, I'll go to the kitchen and ask them to make some food and bring it over."

After Ye Qingyin left, Bai Yu looked at Ye Lingling, who had been staring at him, and raised his hand to touch his face.

"Lingling, what are you looking at? Why are you so engrossed? Is there something on my face?"

Ye Lingling's body trembled, and her face flushed slightly. She was indeed mesmerized. In the past, she would feel uncomfortable all over whenever a man got close to her.

But ever since I accepted Baiyu, I've grown to like him more and more, and I wish I could hang myself on him and follow him wherever he goes.

"Um, no, no, I was just wondering why you suddenly came to the Ye family to find me. Before, when Yan Yan and I went to your academy, Zhu Qing and the others told us that you went to the Star Dou Great Forest and didn't know when you would come back."

"By the way, Yan Yan is home too. Did you go to her place?"

Bai Yu reached out and pinched Ye Lingling's little face, chuckling softly.

"Hehe, Zhuqing and the others told me that you and Yanyan came to see me. That's why I went to Tiandou Academy to find you as soon as I got back."

"But I didn't expect you weren't here, so I went to Yan Yan's house, and then I came here to see you."

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Ye Lingling pouted. So she was the one in the back. When they returned to the academy, that brat would brag to her again. How unpleasant!
"Hey, what's with that expression? I'm going to Yan Yan's place first for your own good. Otherwise, you'll suffer when you two meet again."

Seeing Ye Lingling's face scrunched up, Baiyu said with amusement.

After Bai Yu finished speaking, Ye Lingling thought about it and realized that it made sense. She had already betrayed someone once, and if she were to beat them to the punch again, her best friend would turn her into a doll!
"Hehe, I'm not like what you think. I was just... thinking about the Star Dou Great Forest. Yes, I was wondering what you were doing in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Although Ye Lingling's excuse was somewhat forced, Bai Yu didn't expose her. Instead, he told her about the Soul Gathering Seal and the various soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, which made Ye Lingling exclaim in surprise.

More than half an hour later, servants from the Ye family brought out plates of beautifully presented dishes and placed them in front of the two of them.

To be honest, there are definitely a lot of people in the Ye family kitchen. They can cook a whole table of dishes in half an hour, which is really fast.

"Baiyu, try this. This is a medicinal wine brewed by my Ye family using various herbs. It is very popular among nobles, and people are eager to buy it. It's hard to find such a wine."

When Bai Yu saw Ye Lingling take out a bottle of wine and place it in front of him, he leaned back quickly and his eyes widened.

"No, I'm telling you, Lingling, everyone else just changes the name but not the substance, and you guys don't even change the name? At least come up with something new!"

Ye Lingling looked somewhat confused. What kind of herbal medicine? What new trick?

"White Fish, what are you saying? Have you drunk this wine before? Well, given your status, even if this wine is hard to buy, it would be very easy for you to get it."

Baiyu blinked and said hesitantly:
"Hmm? Isn't this wine the same as Yan Yan's? Today, she used the ingredients and medicinal wine, along with her own fragrance, to create a powerful tonic for me."
