Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

A delicate maidservant, having discovered some talent for soul guidance, came to the military camp to hone her skills. After her mother's death, she had no powerful backing in the imperial court.

To establish oneself here, besides talent, one also needs ruthlessness.

"battalion commander!"

Facing the approaching Huo Qing, team leader Huo Lei raised her head and gave a military salute.

Then he quickly began to explain.

"This is the one..."

"I know!"

Huo Qing slowly stepped forward.

Walk to the opposite side of Xu Cheng.

The atmosphere around them slowly froze.

The group of people following behind him dared not breathe and watched this scene in silence.

Huo Qing suddenly hugged Xu Cheng tightly.

His fierce expression vanished, his eyes slowly reddened, and the arm he was holding onto Xu Cheng was stained white.

moment.

The group of Fire Phoenix Soul Instructors immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

They seem to really know each other, and are most likely family members...

"I haven't seen Battalion Commander Huo Qing look like this in many years."

"Which young master of the empire is this? He's quite handsome. Do you think I have a chance?"

"Bullshit, people definitely prefer girls from modest families. Someone like you with a military background would probably not catch his eye."

"I heard the surname is Xu, so it must be royalty..."

"..."

Such was the atmosphere in the army; both men and women were quite unrestrained.

The Sun Moon Empire's military discipline is exceptionally strict.

"It looks just like it, it really does..."

After a long while, Huo Qing slowly released her grip, cupped Xu Cheng's cheeks in her hands, and rubbed them again. Her once fierce and venomous eyes were now filled with tenderness.

"..."

"Young Master, I..."

"No need to kneel."

Xu Cheng secretly helped him up.

If Huo Qing were to kneel and bow to Xu Chengxing in front of a large audience, it would significantly damage the prestige that he had worked so hard to build over the years.

Moreover, according to her own memory, this woman and her mother, though mistress and servant, were more like close sisters.

"Thank you, young master."

Sensing Xu Cheng's determination, Huo Qing, fearing she might hurt him, did not insist on kneeling.

Wipe away the tears from the corners of your eyes.

When he turned around, his face regained its previous sternness.

"quiet!"

In an instant, all the female soldiers around fell silent.

"Go back to camp!"

Huo Qing then issued the order.

Dozens of people around them also lined up in batches, forming neat rows, and rode their flying soul guides into the camp.

"Let's go."

Huo Qing, carrying one in each hand, leaped into the air.

Heading towards their own camp.

……

"Young Master, you have suffered so much these past years..."

Inside the tent.

Huo Qing could no longer contain herself; her eyes reddened as she repeatedly stroked Xu Cheng's cheek.

His voice was choked with emotion.

“Aunt Qing, you can call me A-Cheng or Xiao-Cheng. Calling me Young Master is too formal,” Xu Cheng said with a sigh.

"Besides, I've had a pretty carefree life in the capital these past few years, while you've had it really tough in the army..."

"..."

Huo Qingshen exhaled a deep breath.

Looking into Xu Cheng's sincere eyes, she almost shed another tear.

The reason she's worked so hard all these years is to repay Aya's kindness from back then, and to give Xu Cheng a little bit of confidence in the future.

Now, after hearing Xu Cheng's words, she understands that she has not misplaced her trust.

"It's my fault for being so useless. In nearly ten years, I've only managed to become a battalion commander..." Huo Qing sighed.

She knew that this kind of power, compared to that of ordinary people, was already considered a source of great honor for their ancestors.

However, in the struggle for succession within the royal family, he couldn't even make a ripple.

If Acheng were to have any ambitions to claim the throne, her only trump card would be far from enough, and the thought of this only made her feel more and more guilty...

"Aunt Qing, that's already very good."

Xu Cheng smiled and comforted him.

At the same time, she understood that this person was subtly advising her to give up.

I know they mean well, but we're all family, so there's no need to hide anything.

"Now that I have Elder Cheng's support and the Holy Spirit Cult's endorsement, my chances of winning the throne are not small."

"Old Cheng?"

Huo Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

They were terrified that the child would be used as a pawn in the struggle for the throne and die without even knowing how.

Chapter 38 The Holy Spirit Cult is actually right beside me?

"In the current Sun Moon Empire, there is only one Elder Cheng..."

Xu Cheng said with a smile.

"Wait, you mean... Cheng Baiqing?!"

Huo Qing realized what was happening, and her beautiful eyes narrowed sharply.

As the commander of the fourth battalion of the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, one of the four major Soul Master Corps, he is second only to the leader and holds an absolutely core position.

The bigwig who deeply influenced the entire military, a leading figure in scientific research, knew that person all too well.

Throughout the military camp, including those who had formal training (Mingdetang), everyone held him in the highest esteem, which speaks volumes about his influence on the army.

Once you can bring them into your camp, the scales of victory will instantly tip!

“I am now Master Cheng’s last disciple,” Xu Cheng said, pointing to his head. “This head bone of the 60,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant was given to me by him.”

"..."

Huo Qing seemed somewhat dazed.

She never expected that her young master would have such courage.

To gain Mr. Cheng's favor.

As far as he knew, Cheng Baiqing had extremely high standards and had never taken on any apprentices in his entire life...

If what Xu Cheng said is true, then he will be invincible!

No one would provoke Cheng Baiqing. Even if they lost, the authorities would definitely spare Xu Cheng's life out of consideration for Cheng Baiqing.

Although a nobody like her would only face certain death, for the sake of the young master's great cause, her death is not a pity.

“However, the Holy Spirit Cult…” Huo Qing hesitated, glancing at Xu Cheng, then stopped herself from speaking.

Sure enough, he reacted the same way as Mr. Cheng.

There is a long way to go...

Xu Cheng smiled helplessly.
