NOVEL NEXT Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Concealment Talisman, Ye Family Problem Resolved
"No need for such drastic measures."
Hearing Ye Qingcheng's list of ten conditions, a subtle smile curved at the corners of Lu Yunzhou's lips, a hint of amusement appearing on his face.
After a pause, Lu Yunzhou continued, saying, "In the grand scheme of things, everything has its predetermined course. The issue and unique traits of your Nine-Hearted Begonia are one of those constants, and the solution to it is actually quite simple."
After leaving a bit of suspense, Lu Yunzhou calmly retrieved an unassuming calligraphy brush and a plain yellow paper from his storage ring.
Seeing this, the three of them, including "Xue Qinghe," couldn't help but feel curious.
Could it be that a mere brush and paper could resolve a dilemma that had plagued the Nine-Hearted Begonia branch of the Ye Family for countless years?
If that were the case, they found it hard to believe—such a solution would be simply extraordinary, wouldn't it?
Before either Ye Lingling or Ye Qingcheng could question him, Lu Yunzhou had already started taking action.
With a slight activation of the vast, ocean-like Spiritual Energy within him, Lu Yunzhou dipped the clean brush in "ink." Then, without hesitation, he wielded the brush with lightning speed, his strokes flowing smoothly and forcefully as he filled the slightly yellowed paper with a set of intricate symbols.
After a while, once the entire yellow paper was covered in strange Spiritual Energy patterns, Lu Yunzhou let out a breath and revealed a satisfied smile.
Seeing him finally stop, Ye Qingcheng couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Mr. Lu, what's the solution?"
In response, Lu Yunzhou silently picked up the yellow paper and held it in front of Ye Qingcheng. "The solution? It's right before your eyes."
"This? Mr. Lu…are you…are you sure?"
Ye Qingcheng was incredulous as she looked at the yellow paper, which emitted a faint flow of energy. A single sheet of paper—to resolve a centuries-old problem with the Ye Family's Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul?
How…how could that even be possible?
Feeling her doubt, Lu Yunzhou just smiled and nodded. "I'm sure, though…there's one final step."
With that, Lu Yunzhou let the yellow paper float in midair, then stood up from his seat. His hands began to move rapidly as he chanted,
"Spirit, Vision, Heart, Object, Ring, Motion, Sound!"
The moment these seven words left Lu Yunzhou's lips, "Xue Qinghe," Ye Lingling, and Ye Qingcheng suddenly felt a strange, dreamlike sensation wash over them, as if the world itself had become hazy and uncertain.
Then, Lu Yunzhou's voice rang out once more, "Conceal."
With a deep hum, a wave of violet-black energy surged from Lu Yunzhou's hands, pouring into the yellow paper. In front of their eyes, this mystical energy was absorbed into the paper.
The advanced "Concealment Talisman" was complete.
In the Divine Realm, this would be akin to an artifact!
"Lingling, come here."
At Lu Yunzhou's command, he turned his gaze to Ye Lingling standing nearby.
Hearing his words, Ye Lingling instinctively approached him and asked respectfully, "Mr. Lu, is there…something I can do to help?"
Before she even realized what had happened, Lu Yunzhou had pressed the advanced "Concealment Talisman" onto her forehead.
The talisman's power surged into her body in an instant.
Moments later, Ye Qingcheng's face changed as she exclaimed, "One of the Nine-Hearted Begonias…has disappeared?"
The Ye Family's Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul wielders could sense one another's presence. If one were alive, the connection would remain; if one died, the connection would vanish. It was like having a constant phone line with each other—when one party "hangs up," the connection is lost.
But now, Ye Qingcheng felt as if her daughter's "line" had been disconnected! Yet her daughter was standing right there, perfectly fine!
What…what was happening?
As Ye Qingcheng pondered, Ye Lingling, sensing a change in herself, released her martial soul.
The next moment, the Nine-Hearted Begonia appeared in Ye Lingling's hand.
Ye Qingcheng stared at it, confusion written on her face. "Why…why is it like this? I can't sense Lingling's martial soul, but…it's still here?"
Lu Yunzhou smiled, explaining, "The talisman I used on Lingling is called a "Concealment Talisman". Simply put, it's a talisman that can obscure things. With it, her existence is entirely concealed. If you still doubt, try sensing her with your spirit sense."
Startled, Ye Qingcheng activated her Soul Saint-level spirit sense toprobe Ye Lengleng.
Indeed, just as Lu Yunzhou had said, Ye Qingcheng could not sense her daughter's presence. Were it not for Lingling standing right before her, Ye Qingcheng would never believe it!
As she processed this revelation, Lu Yunzhou spoke again, "Now, since you can no longer sense Lingling or her martial soul, the Ye Family can have…another heir to the Nine-Hearted Begonia."
With a confident smile, Lu Yunzhou added, "In the future, if the Ye Family wants to expand its bloodline, you need only to use a "Concealment Talisman". And I can make those at will."
"Now, I've fulfilled all that I promised. So, may we discuss the terms we previously set?"
