People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

The man walked calmly, dressed in fine clothes, with a hint of pride between his brows. He was obviously a young man of extraordinary family background.

The old woman's hand was suspended in the air, and she looked at the uninvited guest with a hint of embarrassment. Although she was just an ordinary fighting master, her years of experience made her intuitively feel that the person who suddenly interrupted her was not ordinary, and seemed to be hostile. Facing such a person, she knew it was best not to provoke him.

"I have already promised to give the lanterns to these two young people," she said helplessly, turning her eyes to Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er, "I can't make the decision on this matter..."

There was a hint of help in her eyes. If the two young men couldn't make the uninvited guest change his mind, she could only listen to him for her own safety.

Xiao Ling frowned slightly. Being interrupted was already very unpleasant, especially at such a warm moment. He glanced coldly at the newcomer, with a hint of displeasure in his tone: "Who are you?"

The man looked young, tall, and handsome enough to rival a woman. But the barely perceptible hostility between his brows made his outstanding appearance look even more gloomy.

"Haha, my name is Mo Ji, I am just a nobody."

He answered easily, but as soon as the name came out, it seemed to carry a subtle chill that made people feel a little oppressive.

As he spoke, Mo Li's gaze lingered on Xiao Ling and Xun'er for a moment. The heat and greed in his eyes flashed by. Although it was concealed well, it was enough for Xiao Ling and Xun'er to catch it.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but frowned slightly. He already had a plan in mind. He would find a place where no one was around and teach that guy a lesson.

He could sense that the man's cultivation had barely reached the Seven Star Dou Zong level. To have such a level of cultivation at this age, his origin must be extraordinary, but since he dared to provoke him, the result was doomed to be bad luck.

If Xiao Ling and Xun'er had not deliberately restrained their auras, this guy, with his Seven-Star Dou Zong cultivation, would never have dared to have any ill intentions.

Xun'er also noticed Mo Li's gaze, but her expression remained calm. She simply disdained this small character and didn't want to waste any more words on him.

Despite this, Xun'er still unconsciously moved closer to Xiao Ling, cleverly using her body to block Mo Qi's occasional gazes, obviously wanting Xiao Ling to deal with the following episode.

Xiao Ling noticed Xun'er's movements. He gently placed his hand on Xun'er's shoulder and gave her a reassuring look.

"We like this blue lotus lantern very much, and the old lady has agreed to give it to us." Xiao Ling's voice was calm, but there was no doubt in his tone, "So, no matter how much money you offer, this lantern will not be sold to you."

A trace of surprise flashed across Mo Qi's face. He obviously didn't expect Xiao Ling to reject him so directly. There was a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if he was amused by Xiao Ling's courage.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he said, "Oh? Really? Then I am even more interested. However, I never like to force things. Since you like it so much, I will help you. But I hope to have a chance to make friends with you two, especially this beautiful lady."

After saying that, Mo Qi looked at Xun Er deeply, then turned and left the shop. His figure disappeared in the night, but the cold aura did not dissipate for a long time.

Chapter 343: Lantern Festival

Just as Mo Ji turned to leave, a beam of black light shot out from his body and attacked Xun'er silently. It was extremely fast and almost imperceptible in the night.

But Xiao Ling and Xun'er's reactions were so sharp, their eyes were as sharp as falcons, and the black light was invisible in their eyes. Xun'er's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and Xiao Ling's mouth curled up with a hint of disdain.

While the black beam of light was still in the air, Xiao Ling casually released his soul power. This power was invisible and intangible, and ordinary people could not perceive it at all.

His soul power transformed into a big hand, accurately grabbing the black beam that was silently shooting towards Xun'er, making it unable to move.

Then, he waved his hand lightly, and the originally extremely swift black beam of light floated in front of him obediently like a tamed beast.

Although the black beam of light was still struggling and trying to continue rushing towards Xun'er, under Xiao Ling's control, it was like being bound by invisible chains and could not move forward at all.

Xiao Ling looked at the beam of light casually, and with his rich knowledge, he quickly guessed the purpose of this thing.

"This should be some kind of tracking mark. I don't know which sect's secret tracking method it belongs to." Xiao Ling touched his chin and raised his eyebrows and said.

"Xun'er, it seems that it's because you are so charming that people have to use even such a little trick." Xiao Ling then looked at Xun'er, shook his head and teased.

In Xiao Ling's opinion, Xun'er's beauty was indeed prone to cause trouble, and he did not think much about other reasons. After all, a person with a peerless beauty like Xun'er could easily become the object of covetousness of those who think highly of themselves when outsiders do not know her strength and background. He was already accustomed to this kind of situation.

If those people were simply admiring Xun'er's beauty and hadn't done anything out of line, Xiao Ling would at most teach them a lesson.

But this time, someone actually dared to openly have feelings for Xun'er, which made Xiao Ling feel annoyed. He made up his mind that he would never show mercy to such a person who was looking for death.

There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Ling's eyes. He had already reserved a place in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for that person in his mind.

"Brother Xiao Ling, how do you plan to deal with that guy?"

Xun'er smiled gently, with a hint of helplessness, but did not seem to care particularly. She asked Xiao Ling.

At first, Xun'er felt a little unhappy to be offended by such an ungrateful person, but she didn't take it too seriously.

She knew in her heart that although Xiao Ling usually looked very kind, once someone touched his bottom line, the consequences would be no joke.

She didn't need to worry too much about this kind of thing. Xiao Ling would naturally take care of everything. She just needed to watch from the side, and Xiao Ling would naturally help her vent her anger.

Although Xun'er herself didn't care that much about this matter, the two Dou Zuns from the ancient clan who were secretly protecting her were not so calm, and they could not suppress the anger in their hearts.

Ever since Xun'er and Xiao Ling stepped into Xinlian City, these two Dou Zuns have been following them like shadows, silently guarding in the dark.

With Xiao Ling's soul perception, he could naturally sense their presence, and he also understood that they were specially sent by the ancient clan to protect Xun'er, so he did not point it out.

Therefore, the two ancient clan Dou Zuns saw Mo Li's previous series of actions clearly, and no detail escaped their eyes.

In the eyes of these two Dou Zuns, Miss Xun'er is the little princess of the ancient clan who is second to none among the eight ancient clans and has an extremely noble status.

Not only does she possess the most perfect divine bloodline of the ancient clan in thousands of years, she is also extremely talented, and her future achievements are limitless.

Even though she is still growing, looking at the entire Douqi Continent, there are only a few people who can be compared with her status.

Within the ancient clan, even those respected elders doted on Xun'er, not to mention the clan leader who had a daughter in his old age. His doting on Xun'er reached an unprecedented level.

And that Mo Ji was just a Dou Zong. In the ancient clan, there were many Dou Zong-level warriors. He actually dared to have evil thoughts towards Miss Xun'er. This was simply a way to his own death!

The dignity of the imperial family cannot be insulted, and that person must pay with his life.

Immediately, Xiao Ling was about to answer Xun'er's question, but before he could open his mouth, the two ancient clan Dou Zuns had already hurriedly sent a message to Xun'er with a hint of anger in their tone.

"Miss, this man is so vicious that he dared to use such a despicable tracking method on you. He is so bold. I have lived for most of my life and have never seen such a bold person. In my opinion, he must be severely punished."

"Humph, he actually dared to attack you, young lady. This is a heinous crime in our clan! I think we should capture him and bring him to the criminal law hall. Let him experience a hundred years of torture, and then let him die to pay for his crime."

Although the two Dou Zun used soul transmission, Xiao Ling's soul perception was extremely sharp. In addition, he and Xun'er were standing close to each other, and the two did not hide their words, so Xiao Ling could hear their conversation clearly. He was about to answer Xun'er's question, but he was choked.

Xun'er's thoughts were also interrupted by the voice transmission of the two Dou Zun. She could sense their anger from their tone. Although she could roughly guess the source of this anger, she did not directly respond to their proposal.

Instead, she turned her inquiring eyes to Xiao Ling, wanting to hear what he was planning. If Xiao Ling felt it was troublesome and decided to kill the man directly, then he would just kill him.

"No need to trouble you two seniors. Since that guy dared to have evil intentions towards Xun'er, I will personally deal with him and let him know what cruelty is. I guarantee that he will not have an easy life."

"Xun'er and I are going to have a good stroll, so let him have some free time for a while. When he falls into our trap, I will take action to deal with him."

Xiao Ling only thought for a moment before transmitting his message to the two ancient clan Dou Zun. As he spoke, he waved his hand and the tracking mark was absorbed into his body.

With this thing, he only needs to wait for Mo Qi to come to him, and then he can deal with him directly. Even if that person doesn't come to cause trouble later, Xiao Ling can still locate him through this tracking mark.

"Since Brother Xiao Ling already has a plan, let's do as he says. Elder Lin, Elder Yuan, there's no need to trouble you. We will take care of it." Xun'er also nodded and told the two Dou Zuns.

There was a hint of relief in her voice, and it was obvious that she was obedient to Xiao Ling's arrangements.

After hearing Xun'er's instructions, the two Dou Zun powerful warriors of the ancient clan felt somewhat unwilling that they could not personally teach a lesson to the guy who offended Xun'er, but since Xun'er had already made arrangements, they, as subordinates, could not say anything more.

Moreover, with Xiao Ling's strength, it should be no problem for him to deal with Mo Li, who has just reached the high-level Dou Zong.

They stopped asking questions, continued to hide their whereabouts silently, and returned to their primary job of guarding.

At this time, the old lady who owned the shop had taken down the blue lotus lantern, packed it up, and handed it to Xiao Ling and Xun Er. She smiled and said, "This blue lotus lantern is yours now. May it bring you good blessings."

Xiao Ling took the lantern and thanked the old woman with a smile: "Thank you, old woman. We will cherish this blessing."

Xun'er also smiled and nodded to the old woman to express her gratitude.

Then, the two of them left the lantern shop hand in hand and continued their Lantern Festival journey.

……

Between the north and south city districts of Xinlian City, there is a river called Lianxin River.

On the surface of Lianxin River, cruise ships decorated with colorful lanterns slowly pass by. On each boat hangs a variety of exquisite lanterns, some like pearl curtains, some like embroidered curtains, and some have oars made of osmanthus and orchid wood, adding a touch of classical charm.

These cruise ships shuttle across the river like a flowing lantern festival, adding infinite vitality to the Lianxin River.

On the river, countless palm lanterns sway gently with the waves. Some of them are made into the shape of lotus leaves, while others are like light feathers, decorating the riverbed like a dream.

These lights reflect on the water, as if bringing people into a wonderful world made of glass and jewelry.

The most eye-catching thing is the lanterns floating in the sky. They are not real stars, but they are closer to the human world than stars. Each lantern carries people's wishes and slowly rises to the night sky, as if it can deliver the wishes directly to the sky.

Lighting lanterns is one of the most important activities during the Lantern Festival. People write their wishes on the lanterns and let them float into the sky with the wind, hoping that they can be heard by the gods in the sky and thus realize their wishes.

Xiao Ling and Xun'er chatted leisurely while wandering aimlessly in the lively atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.

They walked and stopped, full of curiosity about every roadside stall and every new thing.

As they strolled leisurely in the garden, the two of them unknowingly came to the Love River.

At this time, many people have gathered by the Love River, including men, women, young and old, but the most are couples holding hands. They are either whispering by the river or smiling at each other while lighting lanterns, and everyone's face is filled with happiness and expectation.

The air by the river is filled with faint floral scents and water vapor, which interweave with the light and shadow of the lanterns, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.

Xiao Ling and Xun'er were also infected by this atmosphere. They found a quieter place and quietly admired the lights on the river and the lanterns in the sky.

"Look, those lanterns seem to light up the night sky." Xun'er pointed at the lanterns that were gradually moving away in the sky, her eyes flashing with curiosity and joy that were rarely seen in normal times.

Xiao Ling looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that the lanterns were like stars dotted in the night sky, which indeed added a bit of mystery and romance to the night of the Lantern Festival.

"Yes, each lantern carries a wish. It must be spectacular to see so many wishes gathered together." He responded with a smile.

Xun'er nodded, then suddenly turned to look at Xiao Ling with a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "Brother Xiao Ling, do you think our wishes will be like the rumors, as long as we place our wishes on the lanterns, they will eventually come true?"

Xiao Ling gently squeezed Xun'er's hand, with a hint of pampering in his tone: "Of course, with me here, how could your wish not come true?"

Xun'er was amused by his words. She gently patted Xiao Ling's arm, and the smile on her face was like a flower blooming in spring: "Brother Xiao Ling, do you think you are the Dou Emperor and can do whatever you want?"

The two continued to stroll along the river, stopping from time to time to admire the lanterns in the river or to watch other people releasing lanterns. In this festival full of joy and blessings, their hearts seemed to be more closely connected.

Couples by the river released their lanterns one after another, and each lantern was accompanied by cheers and applause. Xiao Ling and Xun Er also joined them. They picked out a beautiful lantern and carefully wrote their wishes on it.

"Okay, Xun'er, it's time to make our wishes take off." Xiao Ling picked up the pen, added a few words on the lamp, and then said to Xun'er.

Xun'er nodded, and the two of them gently lifted the lantern together, letting the warm flame fill the lantern.

As the heat rose, the lanterns slowly left their hands, floated into the night sky, joined the ranks of other lanterns, and flew to the distant sky carrying their wishes.

As the lanterns slowly rose into the air, Xiao Ling and Xun'er's eyes inadvertently fell on each other's lanterns.

With their level of cultivation, they could easily see the words on the lamp no matter how far away they were.

Xiao Ling's eyes were gentle. He could see a few lines of beautiful words written on Xun'er's lantern:

“May your family prosper, your family and friends be happy and healthy, and may you walk hand in hand with your loved ones and spend your life together.”

After secretly seeing such handwriting, Xiao Ling quickly looked away, fearing that he would be discovered.

But he was muttering in his heart, "When I reach Doudi, my life span shouldn't be a problem. Then I'll have to have a few more big fat boys with Xun'er."

Xun'er's eyes naturally fell on Xiao Ling's lantern.
