NOVEL NEXT Chapter 165: The Current Situation of Tang Yuehua
**Chapter 165: The Current Situation of Tang Yuehua**
Over the years, Bai He only knew that his daughter followed Gu Ziyi to join the Martial Soul Hall, but he had no idea about her cultivation level.
Bai Lu, as Gu Ziyi's sword servant, had always been by his side. She generally didn't have the chance to act on her own and had never been exposed to her actual situation outside.
Therefore, Bai He naturally had no way of knowing his daughter's cultivation status all this time.
He only knew that when Bai Lu left, she hadn't even reached the level of a Soul Ancestor. She only broke through Level 40 after leaving the Haotian Sect.
Now, she had surpassed Level 60?
Reaching Level 60 at 26 years old was not the speed of cultivation his daughter's talent should have been able to achieve!
Now, across the Douluo Continent, apart from the two monstrous geniuses, the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Martial Soul Hall, only Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect had such cultivation talent; there was no one else cultivating as fast as they were.
This was also true. In the original novel, Qin Ming, who was 34 years old and at Level 62, was called the second youngest Soul Emperor in the world.
At this moment, Bai Lu's value would only increase!
"That's right, Father!"
"I've improved so quickly thanks to the help of His Highness, the Holy Son!"
Bai Lu was also very happy to see the surprised expression on her father's face.
All of this seemed to indicate that her decision was the right one.
"Okay, very good!"
"That boy at least has some sense!"
When Bai He heard his daughter's confirmation, he burst into laughter with joy.
Swish~
And at that moment, Gu Ziyi finally arrived.
"Junior greets Uncle!"
When Gu Ziyi arrived, he also greeted Bai He with the courtesy of a junior.
Although he was his father-in-law, he was not married yet, and Bai Lu wouldn't be his future wife for now, so there was no problem calling him "Uncle."
"Boy, you actually came in person!"
When Bai He saw Gu Ziyi appear, he was momentarily surprised.
He knew Gu Ziyi's current identity. With this boy's status, he wouldn't have to personally accompany Bai Lu to hunt her Soul Beast. It was obvious that he cared a lot for his daughter.
After understanding this, Bai He felt even more at ease because it further proved that his daughter's original choice was truly the right one.
"Lu Lu is absorbing her next Soul Ring, of course, I have to come help her!"
Gu Ziyi said with a smile.
"Good, that's not bad!"
"It was worth it that Lu Lu chose to follow you!"
Hearing his words, Bai He became even happier.
He had been very interested in Gu Ziyi for a long time but never expected to have the chance to meet him today, in this unexpected encounter.
The first time he met the boy in front of him was when he received a reply letter from his daughter, in which he learned that his niece, Tang Yuehua's, problem of being unable to cultivate had been resolved.
At that time, he was deeply impressed by the boy. Even the problem that the old Sect Leader, Tang Chen, couldn't solve was resolved by a child like Gu Ziyi.
How could he not be shocked by this news?
So, with his humble talent, the boy not only successfully joined the Martial Soul Hall, but also became the personal disciple of Qian Xunji, the former Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, solely through his own efforts.
This shocked him even more.
He couldn't understand how Gu Ziyi had managed to be so favored by the Pope.
Then came the boy's performance in the Soul Master Competition.
It was enough to surprise him that Gu Ziyi reached the Soul Ancestor level at the age of 40. What he didn't expect was that the boy actually had his own domain, something even a Title Douluo dreams of possessing. In the end, he even defeated Tang Hao, who was one level higher than him.
When Bai He heard this news for the first time, he was stunned!
And these performances seemed insignificant compared to Gu Ziyi's subsequent growth.
Gu Ziyi truly reached the level of a Soul Saint just a few years after the Soul Master Competition.
Then there's the matter of the Soul Ring he condensed himself. Bai He was so shocked he was almost numb at this point!
Now he is highly valued by the Martial Soul Hall and has become the interim Pope of the Martial Soul Hall!
Looking at his growth experience, Bai He felt it was simply a legend, a miracle, and a myth unfolding in this era.
Had he not personally lived through Gu Ziyi's era, he would never have believed that someone could challenge the will of heaven so much.
So, when he learned that Bai Lu chose to follow the boy on her own, he was very happy.
However, he was still a member of the Min Clan, a subsidiary sect of the Haotian Sect. Even though he approved of his daughter's choice, he couldn't show it.
After all, there is a competitive relationship between the Haotian Sect and the Martial Soul Hall.
Whether it's the Haotian Sect or the Martial Soul Hall, both take the responsibility of maintaining the stability of the continent as their own.
The Haotian Sect believes that this is the responsibility they should have as the number one sect in the world.
This has been the purpose of the Martial Soul Hall since its founding.
The problem is that the two sides think differently, so naturally, there are conflicts and competition.
However, only the Haotian Sect is qualified to compete with the Martial Soul Hall.
Swish~
Swish~
At this moment, the members of his Clan who came to the Cliff of the Swallow with him also came running.
"It's the young miss!"
"Young miss!"
"..."
When they saw that the eldest daughter of the family was among the newcomers, the men of the Min Clan greeted Bai Lu with joy.
"Gu Ziyi is here too!"
"The Holy Son of the Martial Soul Hall and the interim Pope!"
"Your Highness, the Holy Son!"
"Your Highness, the Holy Son!"
"..."
Then they saw Gu Ziyi. After recognizing him, they all greeted him respectfully.
Although Gu Ziyi is not a member of the Haotian Sect, they still had to respect him because of his identity.
It was exactly like when they met the Emperors of the two Empires or a foreign Title Douluo.
Not to mention that Gu Ziyi is the man that the eldest young lady of their Clan chose to follow.
Swish~
Swish~
At this moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also quickly appeared on the scene.
At first, they were just following behind slowly, but when they realized there were other outsiders and it seemed there were quite a few of them, they naturally hurried to appear for safety's sake.
"Your Highness, the Holy Son!"
After the two arrived, they recognized Bai He and the others but did not react. They only respectfully addressed them in silence, greeted Gu Ziyi, and then remained silent behind him.
"They are Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo from the Martial Soul Hall!"
"Greetings, Your Majesties!"
The two Douluos did not respond to the greeting in any way, but Bai He and the others didn't mind. Led by Bai He, they quickly rushed to greet these two Douluos.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei merely nodded slightly without saying anything and continued to follow behind Gu Ziyi.
After a brief conversation, Gu Ziyi and Bai Lu also found out that Bai He had led the Clan here this time to hunt Soul Beasts for the Soul Rings of two disciples who met the requirements, which was the same purpose as Bai Lu's.
Since both had hunting Soul Rings and it was a father-daughter reunion after many years, the next step, of course, was for them to act together.
It was relatively easy to find Soul Beasts for the two members of the Min Clan because both were just at the level of a Soul Ancestor.
In less than half a day, they found an appropriate Soul Beast and successfully hunted its Soul Rings.
Then, both sides worked together to search for a Soul Beast that Bai Lu needed.
The 20,000-year-old Needle-tail Swallow was much harder to find.
Moreover, the Needle-tail Swallow at the 20,000-year cultivation level is incredibly fast. Even if they found one, it would be very difficult to hunt it.
The biggest difficulty is preventing the beast from escaping.
Originally, it was a bit difficult for Gu Ziyi's group.
However, now that Bai He was here, it was not a difficult task.
Although the 20,000-year-old Needle-tail Swallow is very fast, Bai He is even faster than it.
During the search, father and daughter naturally found an opportunity to talk privately.
Bai He asked his daughter in detail about her situation over the years, and it was similar to what he knew. Since she followed Gu Ziyi to join the Martial Soul Hall, she had not encountered any difficulties.
He also knew why his daughter had reached her current cultivation level. It turned out that Gu Ziyi had found an Immortal Herb for her.
"Immortal Herb?"
After hearing Bai Lu's description of the Immortal Herb, his heart suddenly stirred.
If his daughter ate an Immortal Herb, could the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in his collection also be an Immortal Herb?
He knew that the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in his collection was extremely precious. Since obtaining it, he had been reluctant to use it and always kept it as a treasure.
He had collected it as a precious remedy for saving lives and had never considered that it could also be used to evolve a Martial Soul.
"Lu Lu, do you know what kinds of Immortal Herbs exist?"
Bai He immediately asked his daughter curiously.
"Dad, that's a secret of the Martial Soul Hall, I can't tell you!"
Upon hearing her father's question, Bai Lu immediately became embarrassed.
She really wanted to tell her father, but she didn't have the courage.
The knowledge of various Immortal Herbs is now classified information of the Martial Soul Hall.
"Then, your father has a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng in his collection. Would that be called an Immortal Herb?"
Upon hearing his daughter, Bai He immediately changed the way he asked his question.
"Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng?"
"Father, you have the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng?"
"That's also a type of Immortal Herb!"
Upon hearing her father's words, Bai Lu immediately said in surprise.
Although she couldn't describe what Immortal Herbs were or their characteristics to her father, she could still confirm if her father named something directly and asked her to confirm if it was an Immortal Herb.
"Sure, I didn't expect the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng to be so precious!"
After discovering that his precious plant was actually an Immortal Herb, Bai He was very happy.
Through his daughter, he understood the value of such a treasure.
Not only can it improve the Soul Power of a Soul Master by several levels, but it can also evolve the Martial Soul and change a person's cultivation qualifications. This Immortal Herb is no less precious than a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring!
"Unfortunately, your older brother is now over 30 years old and has long passed the golden training period for a Soul Master!"
Bai He sighed again.
As for giving it to his precious daughter Bai Lu?
If she were still in the family, he would definitely be willing, but now that his daughter has joined the Martial Soul Hall, he naturally wouldn't be so generous.
He needed to consider his family more at this point.
"Father, you can let my older brother get married and have children sooner, then give the Immortal Herb to my nephew or niece!"
Bai Lu had no intention of taking her father's Immortal Herb and immediately suggested it to him upon hearing his lament.
Her older brother is like many Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent and is still single despite his age.
Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent either marry and have children early or marry very late. Many Soul Masters even focus on cultivation and never seek a partner throughout their lives.
"Yes, yes, you're right. I can let your older brother get married soon and have children as quickly as possible!"
When Bai He heard his daughter's suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up.
His daughter's advice made him decide to return and urge his son to marry quickly.
Bai Lu's older brother didn't know that he would soon be urged to get married.
"Father, how is our Min Clan in the Haotian Sect now?"
After finishing talking about their own matters, Bai Lu naturally asked about the current situation of the Min Clan.
"What more can I do? It's the same as always!"
Bai He smiled. There had basically been no changes in the Min Clan over the years.
After realizing that he could use the Martial Souls of Soul Masters as weapon-type combat tools for his Clan, he had some ideas on how to improve the combat effectiveness of his family's disciples.
However, his proposal was rejected by Sect Leader Tang Wei, his brother-in-law, so he never mentioned the matter again.
He also realized that the Haotian Sect didn't need his Min Clan to improve their combat effectiveness. They only needed his Min Clan to maintain their original characteristics and be responsible for the Haotian Sect's intelligence work.
He also felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do.
He had faced the harsh reality.
Hearing the tone of her father, Bai Lu knew that he didn't want to say more about the matter. She also knew the status of the Min Clan in the Haotian Sect, otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to leave the Haotian Sect years ago.
These people think that her Min Clan is serving them!
"Father, how is my cousin now?"
Then, Bai Lu quickly changed the subject and asked about her cousin, Tang Yuehua, instead of talking about things that made her father unhappy.
In the Haotian Sect, besides her relatives and clan members, she has a good relationship with her cousin, Tang Yuehua.
"Your cousin..."
When Bai He heard his daughter asking about his niece's situation, the expression on his face became a bit complicated.
"What happened to my cousin?"
Bai Lu quickly asked with concern.
"Your cousin is fine. She has been practicing hard over the years. It won't be long before she reaches the level of Soul Emperor!"
"After your cousin managed to practice cultivation, she showed extraordinary talent. Although her progress in the last few years hasn't been as fast as those two monsters in the Martial Soul Hall, she's still like a little monster. One could only say she's truly deserving of being a genius with innate Domain possession. Fortunately, she hasn't been buried!"
"All thanks to that boy, Gu Ziyi!"
"Lulu, I didn't expect you to reach Soul Emperor before your cousin. It seems my daughter is even more extraordinary!"
Bai He spoke about Tang Yuehua's situation, and in the end, couldn't help but feel proud of his daughter.
Although he knew that his daughter's situation was because she absorbed an Immortal Herb.
But isn't this also an opportunity for his daughter?
"My cousin will also have a breakthrough? That's great!"
Bai Lu was naturally happy for Tang Yuehua when she heard this and was surprised by her father's tone.
"Naturally, there is no problem with her cultivation!"
"But you should also know that the Haotian Sect has finally found a powerful auxiliary Martial Soul like your cousin's among their descendants, and the Sect Leader always wanted to pass this Martial Soul on to future generations as quickly as possible!"
"In the first few years, since you ran away from home, the Sect Leader stopped searching for a son-in-law for your cousin!"
"In the last two years, the Sect Leader has started searching for a son-in-law for your cousin!"
Bai He began to explain.
"Ah!" Bai Lu exclaimed. She didn't expect that her cousin would also be urged to marry.
The main reason she left the sect was because she didn't want to marry her cousin, Tang Xiao.
"My cousin definitely wouldn't want to be forced into this, right?"
