Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 57 The White-Haired Witch, Shen Yi!
"What's up?"

Jiang Yi looked up at Ye Xinglan standing at the door, his expression calm.

The girl came alone, her expression lacking the sharpness of the day, instead carrying a hint of unnatural restraint, and she didn't seem to be there to cause trouble.

"Sorry……"

Ye Xinglan suddenly bowed to Jiang Yi.

"It was our fault during the day."

Ye Xinglan's movements were slightly stiff, and her bow lasted for two and a half minutes, but her attitude was very sincere.

"Ok?"

Jiang Yi glanced at Ye Xinglan in surprise; it was as if the sun had risen in the west.

You Shrek kids can steal military planes without hesitation, why would you care about this?

"Ok?"

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, then spoke calmly.
"The one you should apologize to is not me, but my classmate."

Although he didn't know what had happened to make this proud young woman bow her head, he still understood the principle of not hitting someone who is smiling at you.

But... he subconsciously glanced at the corridor behind Ye Xinglan, and there was no one else there except her.

"But where's that chubby guy?" Jiang Yi asked. "The person involved isn't here, so why are you the only one here?"

"He had something to do... so I came in his place."

Ye Xinglan's expression remained calm, but her eyes flickered slightly.

Xu Lizhi was scolded by Shen Yi and was in a very low mood. She couldn't bear to see him looking so dejected, so she came over by herself.

"Then let's drop this matter."

Jiang Yi observed Ye Xinglan's expression and had already guessed seven or eight parts of what was going on.

This girl probably shouldered the responsibility all by herself.

However, the two are not familiar with each other, so there is no need for them to meddle in other people's business. It's better to worry about something that doesn't concern you.

"Thank you!"

Ye Xinglan thanked him, then turned and left without saying anything more.

"Huh! Aren't you...the one from during the day?"

Just then, the elevator doors opened with a "ding," and Xie Xie walked out carrying two takeout orders, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Ah."

Ye Xinglan merely glanced at him indifferently, stepped aside, and entered the elevator.

The metal door slowly closed, swallowing her aloof figure.

"what's the situation?"

Xie Xie scratched the back of his head, looking confused, and returned to his room, handing one of the takeout orders to Jiang Yi.

"Most of those who come to apologize have been scolded by their teachers."

As Jiang Yi spoke, he took the lunchbox and opened it, and a rich aroma immediately wafted out.

Stir-fried rabbit heads!

It looks delicious!
"Oh!" Xie Xie nodded in sudden realization. "The dance teacher is also from Shrek Academy, so maybe she knows the other teacher."

In a sense, it's a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, so it's reasonable that the other party would come and bow down.

Rather than making a big fuss, it's better to downplay the issue and let it go.

Just as Jiang Yi and his companion were focused on cooking, another knock sounded on the door.

"Go away! I just brought back lunch."

Xie Xie spoke indistinctly, his mouth full of food.

"Row!"

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes helplessly, picked up the lunchbox, and walked to the door.

As soon as the door opened, a familiar golden hue came into view.

"Brother, you're secretly eating something delicious behind my back."

Tang Wuling glanced at the spicy rabbit head in Jiang Yi's hand and unconsciously pouted.

"Wu Ling, what brings you here?"

Jiang Yi coughed lightly and covered the spicy rabbit head in his hand with the box.

It's true what they say: if you eat rabbit, rabbits will come!

"My martial soul is a rabbit, but I'm not a real rabbit."

Tang Wuling rolled her eyes at Jiang Yi's cautious movements.

Although she doesn't like eating rabbit meat, she wouldn't forbid others from eating it.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Yi coughed a few times, not because he was afraid you would find out.

"I have something I'd like to ask my brother for help with..."

Tang Wuling spoke softly again, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

"what happened?"

Jiang Yi asked curiously.

Although this little girl is clingy to him, she is quite stubborn and rarely asks him for help on her own initiative.

"I just broke through and want to go to the Spirit Ascension Platform before condensing my second spirit ring." Tang Wuling released her aura, her spirit power had already broken through to level 20.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi instantly understood what Tang Wuling meant.

Unlike the original story, Wu Changkong did not take Tang Wuling to the intermediate spirit-ascension platform during the previous holiday, so her spirit rings are still at the hundred-year level.

She has just broken through to level 20 and has not yet condensed her second soul ring. At this moment, it is much easier for her to improve her soul spirit than after she becomes a two-ring soul master.

"Okay! But we need to ask the dance teacher for help first..."

Jiang Yi nodded in agreement.

Although it's possible to obtain a spot at the Ascension Platform in Tianhai City through connections with the Holy Spirit Cult, the source would be difficult to explain, so it's more appropriate to approach Wu Changkong.

"Ok!"

Tang Wuling nodded obediently, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

……

In a luxurious suite on another floor of the hotel, Wu Changkong sat quietly on the sofa, elegantly savoring the tea in his hand.

Across from him sat a white-haired woman, curled up lazily on the sofa, her legs tucked together under her skirt, like a resting white cat.

The woman looked to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. She was extremely beautiful, with long, gray-white hair cascading down her back. She wore a dark green uniform, and her dark green eyes held a unique liveliness.

"I didn't expect that you would come, senior brother."

Shen Yi looked at Wu Changkong across from him, his eyes filled with a hint of nostalgia.

Ever since Senior Sister Long Bing passed away a few years ago, Senior Brother has been despondent. The once energetic and talented Soul Master has become the white-robed, blue-sword-wielding, cold and taciturn man he is today.

Over the years, she had tried to visit him, but she was always turned away at the door.

During the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, she led her team to participate in the event and unexpectedly encountered Wu Changkong.

"It's just routine."

Wu Changkong spoke indifferently as always, but when facing his former junior sister, his face softened considerably.

"is it?"

Shen Yi blinked, his tone slightly teasing.

"The way my senior brother was busy at the opening ceremony didn't seem like it to me at all."

Just then, Wu Changkong's communicator suddenly rang.

Wu Changkong put down his teacup, answered the call, and then frowned slightly before looking at Shen Yi on the other end.

Do you have any spots available for the Ascension Platform of the Heavenly Sea Spirit Transmission Tower?

Wu Changkong asked.

"Yes, but only the basic Spirit Ascension Platform."

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow and replied softly.

After the Shrek team arrived in Tianhai City, the local organizers provided them with some slots for the beginner Spirit Ascension Platform.

But these things were of little use to the Shrek disciples and remained idle in her hands.

"Beginner level...that's enough."

Wu Changkong pondered for a moment, then spoke into the communicator.
"You two, just come over here. The room is 213!"

……

Within minutes, Jiang Yi and Tang Wuling arrived at the room door.

"teacher!"

The two bowed in unison to Wu Changkong.

"Ok!"

Wu Changkong nodded slightly and introduced them to the two.

"Shen Yi, a tutor at Shrek Academy, is my... my friend."

He hesitated slightly before finally choosing the term "friend."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi's eyes dimmed slightly.

Friends... Senior brother, you still haven't let go.

Only Wu Changkong, a disciple of Shrek Academy, would call her "Junior Sister".

"Teacher Shen Yi!"

Jiang Yi and Tang Wuling greeted each other respectfully.

"Ok!"

Shen Yi nodded slightly to the two of them.

"Are you two going to the Ascension Platform?"

Shen Yi nodded in response, his gaze falling on the two of them, his tone carrying a hint of doubt.

In her opinion, the Spirit Ascension Platform was only so-so; its practical effects far outweighed the slight improvement in the soul.

Not everyone can successfully ascend to a higher spiritual level.

Tang Wuling subconsciously looked at Wu Changkong, unsure whether she should tell him the truth.

Wu Changkong nodded to her.

After receiving an approving look from her teacher, Tang Wuling no longer hesitated and explained her situation.

"My soul spirit is almost ready to evolve, so I want to try it out before I get my second soul ring..."
