Chapter 548 Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling
Ye Lingling focused her mind and immersed herself in cultivation, taking one step at a time, accumulating soul power little by little, and slowly moving towards the bottleneck of level fifty.
If she had cultivated in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant, she would have broken through long ago, and her soul power would not have increased so slowly and arduously as it does now.
Ye Lingling could have stayed in the Yin-Yang Well to continue her cultivation until she broke through to the Soul King realm before returning to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, but she gave up that opportunity herself.
The reason is that
His Highness is coming soon.
She wanted to come back and wait for him.
"Lingling, good news."
Just then, the training room door suddenly burst open, and a tall, sexy, and beautiful figure rushed in like the wind, accompanied by a clear, melodious voice filled with boundless excitement and joy.
This is a beautiful girl who is about twenty years old.
She had an oval face, delicate eyebrows and a fine nose, and a pair of clear, emerald-green eyes that exuded a captivating, almost sinister charm. Her lips, painted with lip gloss, were sexy and alluring. Her snake-scale armor-style women's clothing clung tightly to her body, highlighting her excellent figure.
However, what is most eye-catching is her short, deep purple hair, which is extremely rare and even unique in the entire Douluo Continent.
This beautiful girl is none other than Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling's best friend and the granddaughter of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Excitedly, Dugu Yan pushed open the door to the Royal Fighting Team's exclusive training room and then, almost as if she had flashed, darted into the training room.
She seemed to have forgotten to knock, pushing the door open and slipping into the room in a series of fluid movements, without even pausing for a moment.
However, when she saw that Ye Lingling was in a meditative state, Dugu Yan immediately lowered her voice so as not to disturb her.
It is impolite to disturb someone who is meditating or practicing meditation.
Especially since Ye Lingling is currently at a critical stage of breaking through the level 50 bottleneck, she is most afraid of being disturbed while cultivating, as this could very likely cause her harm.
Although this injury is not fatal, it is unacceptable for a Soul Master because it will delay their cultivation progress.
That's why Dugu Yan, who had come excitedly, immediately controlled her emotions and kept quiet, deciding to wait until Ye Lingling woke up before sharing the surprise she had just received with her.
"Yanyan, you're here! What good news do you have?"
Before Dugu Yan could wait any longer, Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes.
Above her face, covered by a black veil, a pair of blue eyes, as clear as lake water, looked at her best friend with a faint smile. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled gently, so lively that they seemed to speak.
In fact, Ye Lingling had already sensed Dugu Yan's presence the moment she appeared at the entrance of the training room.
Unlike others, Ye Lingling possesses exceptionally strong mental power and keen perception. Even when immersed in meditation and cultivation, she can still maintain a constant awareness of the outside world.
She was almost completely aware of the changes in her surroundings, so Dugu Yan's arrival naturally did not escape her mental perception.
Of course, Ye Lingling was able to achieve this because of the mental cultivation method of Returning to Origin Meditation taught by Ye Qifeng.
Seeing Ye Lingling awaken from her meditation, Dugu Yan could no longer suppress her emotions. She rushed forward, plopped down on the sofa, grabbed Ye Lingling's arm, and excitedly said:
"Lingling, His Highness the Holy Son has arrived."
Upon hearing this, even the usually calm and composed Ye Lingling couldn't sit still. Her small mouth, hidden beneath the black veil, gaped open almost instantly, and she let out an incredulous exclamation:
"What? His Highness the Holy Son has arrived? Yan Yan, really? The Holy Son... he really came?"
"Yes, really."
Dugu Yan nodded quickly in affirmation:
"Didn't we agree to do team coordination training together with Yu Feng and the others?"
"It just so happens that Yu Feng took leave to go home a few days ago, and her home is in the southern part of Tian Dou City. Today, when she returned to the academy, she encountered a convoy from Wu Hun City on the main road leading directly from the southern part of the city to the central city."
"Moreover, Yu Feng made a special inquiry and found out that the convoy was brought by His Highness the Holy Son. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire and Platinum Bishop Salas of the Heaven Dou Temple even went to the South Gate to welcome them in person."
"Based on the timeline, His Highness the Holy Son should have arrived in Tiandou City around this time as well, so there's absolutely no mistake, it must be His Highness the Holy Son."
"Lingling, His Highness the Holy Son has really come! He has really come!"
By the end, Dugu Yan was so excited that she could hardly contain herself, and she unconsciously began to shake Ye Lingling while holding her hands.
Ye Lingling seemed to have been infected by Dugu Yan's influence, completely unaware that her body was being violently shaken by her best friend.
At this moment, she was equally excited, feeling an indescribable joy exploding in her heart, igniting her entire being like fire, and her heart trembled uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Dugu Yan only shook her a few times before releasing Ye Lingling, then turned the somewhat stunned Ye Lingling to face him, and seriously suggested:
"Lingling, let's go see His Highness the Holy Son. I know you also want to see him, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lingling was first taken aback, then her entire face instantly turned as red as an apple. Fortunately, the black veil covered her face, concealing the blush, but her eyes, which glanced shyly to the side, betrayed her.
To be honest, she was just as eager to see His Highness the Holy Son as Dugu Yan.
Seeing that her best friend was still staring at her, waiting for her answer, Ye Lingling was also quite tempted, and subconsciously asked in a low voice:
"Now, right now?"
A smile immediately appeared on Dugu Yan's lips, and she nodded affirmatively:
"Yes, right now."
Ye Lingling was almost persuaded by Dugu Yan, but her rationality was not completely overwhelmed by the sudden surprise.
She looked at her best friend, who had an expression that said, "Let's go, let's go now," and said softly and slowly:
"But His Highness should be at the Heavenly Battle Temple right now. It doesn't seem appropriate for us to go looking for him so rashly, does it? What if someone sees us?"
The smile that had just appeared on Dugu Yan's pretty face froze instantly. After a moment, she suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Oh dear!"
"Oh right, I forgot about that. Our relationship with His Highness the Holy Son, uh, the Spirit Hall, cannot be exposed to the public yet."
"What should we do then?"
"Does this mean I have to wait until the Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies begins before I can see His Highness the Holy Son? But I just want to see him now!"
As she spoke, Dugu Yan's expression suddenly fell, and her previous excitement and impatience turned into distress.
Seeing her best friend's bitter face, Ye Lingling couldn't help but feel a little bitter herself. She quickly thought of a way to see His Highness the Holy Son as soon as possible. Should she try to ambush him when he was out?
Suddenly, Ye Lingling had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea. She quickly said to Dugu Yan, who seemed to have lost all her energy:
"Yanyan, if we want to see His Highness the Holy Son soon, it's still possible."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately straightened up. She gripped Ye Lingling's arms tightly again, but this time she didn't shake them, her gaze fixed intently on her.
"You have a solution? Quickly, tell me."
Without hesitation, Ye Lingling immediately shared the solution she had come up with:
"Actually, we don't need to go looking for His Highness the Holy Son. We can just have him come to us."
"Send His Highness the Holy Son to find us?" Dugu Yan was somewhat confused.
Ye Lingling nodded slightly and continued:
"To be precise, it means finding a suitable place and waiting for His Highness to come to us."
"Wait for His Highness to come to us himself?" Dugu Yan was still somewhat confused. "Where should we wait?"
"Blue Tyrant Academy, the place where Aunt Erlong lives in seclusion."
Ye Lingling didn't play games with her; her melodious voice carried a confident tone as she softly said:
"Yanyan, have you forgotten? Aunt Erlong is His Highness the Holy Son's older sister. Once His Highness is settled in the Heavenly Dou Holy Palace, he will definitely go to see Aunt Erlong soon."
"So, we can just go there and wait for him."
"If I'm not mistaken, we might be able to see His Highness the Holy Son tomorrow."
After listening to Ye Lingling's words, Dugu Yan didn't say anything, but her actions spoke volumes.
She suddenly stood up from the sofa, and without saying a word, she pulled Ye Lingling and walked towards the door of the training room.
"Hey? Yan Yan, what are you doing?"
Caught off guard, Ye Lingling was pulled back by the anxious Dugu Yan and stumbled, barely managing to regain her balance.
Dugu Yan didn't even turn her head:
"Let's go, let's go to Sister Erlong's place now."
Ye Lingling smiled, somewhat annoyed:
"Are you in such a hurry, Yan Yan?"
In front of her best friend, she never maintains the aloofness she shows to others; instead, she reveals some of her true nature.
"Yes, it's urgent."
Dugu Yan made no attempt to hide her feelings, readily nodding in admission. As she pulled Ye Lingling out of the training room, she turned back to her and earnestly said:
"Don't tell me you're not in a hurry, Lingling."
"As your best friend, I know you best. I can guess pretty much what you're thinking."
"I also like His Highness the Holy Son."
Beneath Ye Lingling's veil, her face, as delicate as her mother Ye Huiyin's, flushed crimson once more. A moment later, she covered her burning cheeks and said to Dugu Yan with a helpless tone:
"Yanyan, why did you have to bring this up? Wouldn't it have been better if we just kept it to ourselves?"
Dugu Yan immediately gave her a teasing look:
Why keep it a tacit understanding?
"These are things that only you and I know, so there's no need to hide them. We'll have to face this sooner or later anyway."
At this point, Dugu Yan paused slightly, her beautiful emerald eyes smiling as she looked at Ye Lingling:
"What, are you worried that if we tell everyone, we won't even be sisters anymore?"
Ye Lingling opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment. However, Dugu Yan had already understood her eyes.
Although Ye Lingling appears aloof and indifferent to the outside world, keeping people at arm's length, she is actually a warm-hearted girl who is very considerate and knows how to take care of other people's feelings.
Dugu Yan understood this better than anyone else, which is why she saw through Ye Lingling's thoughts at a glance.
Dugu Yan tightened her grip on Ye Lingling's small hand, a gentle smile appearing on her pretty face. In a tone that was both earnest and teasing, she comforted her only close friend:
"Don't worry, I'm not that petty."
"If you're so capable, then go ahead and snatch it. I don't mind. Whoever gets it gets it."
"However, let me tell you, a man as outstanding as His Highness the Holy Son will definitely have many women chasing after him, and they will all be very outstanding women. You should be mentally prepared."
"Perhaps, my sister and I will have to work together to fight the 'enemy'."
Hearing Dugu Yan's bold remarks, Ye Lingling was completely stunned, but for some reason, while feeling a little strange, she also suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"Let's face the enemy together? That sounds pretty good!" Ye Lingling opened her mouth for a long time without saying anything, but in the end she still softly hummed in agreement.
The sound was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, yet it clearly penetrated Dugu Yan's ears.
Dugu Yan smiled knowingly. "Heh heh, one down, one ally added."
After they talked things out, the two best friends seemed to become even closer.
After a while, Ye Lingling suddenly spoke up to remind her:
"By the way, if we're going to leave the academy, shouldn't we inform Yu Feng and the others beforehand?"
Dugu Yan casually waved her hand:
"Oh, it's nothing. I already told Yu Feng before I came to find you that the team's training will be postponed for a few days. She will inform Oslo and the others."
"Anyway, our Royal Fighting Team doesn't need to participate in the qualifiers and qualifying rounds, and there are still almost four months until the finals of the Elite Soul Master Tournament. There's no rush for training; postponing it for a few days won't hurt."
"That's good." Ye Lingling was immediately relieved.
Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Lingling's arm and walked quickly outside, shoulder to shoulder.
"Let's go straight to Blue Tyrant Academy. It's been over a year since I saw Sister Erlong, and I miss her a lot. I wonder how she's doing?"
"Wait a minute." At this moment, Ye Lingling seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Dugu Yan:
"Yanyan, I want to go back to the Ye family first and tell my mother. She probably also wants to see His Highness the Holy Son, and she's planning to visit Aunt Erlong recently. In that case, why don't we go together?"
Dugu Yan seemed to have just remembered that she had a grandfather:
"Oh right, I should also go back to the Dugu residence to tell my grandfather. He should be happy to meet His Highness the Holy Son. I just don't know if he's still home. If he's already set off for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, then don't blame me."
"Shall we go home first, and then see you at Blue Tyrant Academy?"
"Alright, see you at Blue Tyrant Academy."
