Chapter 270: Harvesting a Little Raven
"right."
Ye Qifeng nodded and said, "I forgot to tell you, actually your sister Xue'er and I are both from the Spirit Hall, from the Spirit Hall's headquarters, Spirit City."
Wuhun City?
Raven had never heard of it, didn't know where the city was, or how far away it was.
She doesn't have many memories.
I only remember my deceased mother mentioning that their home was in Tiandou City, on a street that wasn't exactly a pleasant place.
She couldn't remember exactly where it was.
But she knew that she was currently in the western part of Tiandou City.
Noticing the confused expression on Raven's face, Ye Qifeng pondered for a moment and quickly realized that she probably hadn't heard of Martial Soul City.
After all, she was still a child, an orphan who had been left in a slum, so it was normal that she didn't have much experience.
So I simply explained it to her:
"You should know about the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple, right? It's the place that helps you awaken your Martial Soul for free."
"It is one of the branches of the Spirit Hall."
"The meaning of 'branch hall' is, well, you can think of it as a subordinate. That is to say, the Heaven Dou Martial Soul Holy Hall is a subordinate of the Martial Soul Hall."
"And Spirit City is where the Spirit Hall headquarters is located, which is also where the boss is."
After this explanation, Raven said "Oh," and immediately understood.
She certainly knew about the Heavenly Fighting Martial Soul Temple.
The Soul Master who came to the slums to awaken his Martial Soul was from the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple.
I've heard that the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple is extremely powerful and formidable, with every Soul Master within it being a strong individual with astonishing strength.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a subordinate, a subordinate of the Spirit Hall headquarters in Spirit City.
How powerful must the Spirit Hall headquarters in Spirit City be?
I can't even imagine it.
If I join the Spirit Hall, I'm sure I can become stronger, realize my ideals, and fulfill my father's expectations, right?
Moreover, Brother Ye and Sister Xue'er are also in the Spirit Hall.
As she thought about it, Raven couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
Seeing the look of excitement on Raven's face, Ye Qifeng's lips curled into a smile, like a fox.
He quickly pressed his advantage, continuing to guide the conversation patiently:
"Little Ruiwen, with your talent, if you agree to join the Spirit Hall, you will definitely receive its full support and many precious Soul Master resources will be available to you."
"Whether it's the spirit ring you want or other cultivation resources, we have it all."
"As long as you train hard, becoming stronger will be a piece of cake."
"Really?"
After hearing this, Raven clenched her fists and her eyes sparkled.
Clearly, she was even more tempted.
"Of course."
Seeing this, Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, thinking that it seemed that gaining a little Raven wouldn't be a problem.
"So, how about joining our Spirit Hall?"
Ye Qifeng asked again.
"I"
Raven was very tempted and was about to agree, but then she suddenly stopped, as if she remembered something. She turned around and looked at her friends behind her.
Are you worried about a few of them?
Noticing Raven's gaze, Ye Qifeng immediately asked.
Xiao Liu and the others, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, were now holding their breath, their faces showing anxiety, as if saying, "Don't hesitate, agree now!"
They all hoped that Raven could join the Spirit Hall, and some even wished they could agree on Raven's behalf.
After all, the Spirit Hall is an extremely powerful force of spirit masters. Joining it would not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also allow Raven to become a true spirit master, continue her cultivation, and become even stronger.
In this way.
Raven wouldn't have to live a miserable life with them in that godforsaken slum, barely getting enough to eat.
She can have a bright future.
"Raven, you don't need to worry about us."
Noticing that Raven was looking at her, Xiaoqi reacted the fastest and was the first to speak with a cheerful smile.
"Becoming a true Soul Master and continuing to grow stronger—isn't that your dream? The opportunity is right in front of you, so don't miss it."
Xiao Liu also gave a serious plea.
"Yes, Raven, we'll take good care of ourselves."
The other two quiet friends also spoke up.
Hearing her friends' words warmed her heart, but it also made her more hesitant. She couldn't help but wonder, what would happen to Xiao Liu and the others if she joined the Spirit Hall?
Without me, they would probably have a very difficult time.
Without their own protection, they would likely be bullied and plundered.
For example, Cheng Xin's gang, once they discover that they are not there, will definitely not let them go.
If only I could bring Xiao Liu and the others along to join the Spirit Hall!
But how could I possibly accept that?
At this moment, Raven had a lot on her mind.
Hearing what Xiao Liu and the others said to Ruiwen, Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue exchanged glances, both somewhat surprised.
These children were surprisingly loyal and affectionate, which surprised them.
Night Breeze coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and smiled at Raven, saying:
"If you're worried about your companions, you can have them join the Spirit Hall with you, but only if they're willing."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Raven's mind suddenly went blank.
"What? We can join the Spirit Hall too?"
Like Raven, Xiao Liu and the others were also a bit stunned and couldn't believe it.
"so."
Ye Qifeng turned his gaze to Xiao Liu and the others, smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you willing to join the Spirit Hall?"
"Yes, yes."
Xiao Liu and the others quickly snapped out of their daze and nodded in unison, like a few silly little chicks.
"So, Little Raven, what about you?"
Ye Qifeng smiled with satisfaction, then turned his gaze back to Raven.
"I'm willing too."
Raven nodded quickly and agreed in a crisp voice.
Since several of her friends could also join the Spirit Hall, what was there for her to hesitate about? If she didn't agree now, when would she?
At that moment, she didn't hesitate at all.
"very good."
Ye Qifeng finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
Beside her stood gracefully, quietly watching, a smile appearing on her beautiful face.
"but."
Ye Qifeng changed the subject, glancing at Raven and the people behind her, and said to them seriously:
"There are some things I'd better make clear to you first."
"If you choose to join the Spirit Hall and accept its training, you can't easily quit, and you'll need to serve the Spirit Hall in the future."
"You all need to think this through."
"Yes, Brother Ye, we understand."
Raven said with a firm expression, "We will definitely serve the Spirit Hall well."
"Yes, Raven is right."
Xiao Liu and the others patted their chests and echoed Raven's words.
"Alright, from today onwards, you are all members of the Spirit Hall."
Ye Qifeng made an announcement, and then said:
"However, you must remember that the Spirit Hall is a place that values strength, talent, and ability."
"The Spirit Hall will provide you with opportunities so that you don't have to worry about survival, but if you want to gain more, you'll have to work hard and fight for it yourself."
"Including Raven, you too."
"Your talent is excellent, and the Spirit Hall will provide you with resources commensurate with your talent to nurture you."
"But that doesn't mean you don't need to work hard. On the contrary, you need to work even harder to repay the Spirit Hall for their trust and cultivation of you."
"Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Raven and the others were a little confused, only half understanding, but they still replied in unison.
Ye Qifeng nodded, then looked at Xiao Liu and the other three:
"You lot, I will arrange for you to go to the Heavenly Fighting Martial Soul Temple later."
"Little Six and Little Seven, right?"
His gaze swept over Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, and Ye Qifeng announced his arrangements for the two:
"Your martial souls possess innate soul power, giving you the potential to become soul masters."
"However, given that you are already over six years old, it is a bit late for you to enroll in a low-level Soul Master Academy."
"At that time, we will first arrange for a Soul Master to teach you cultivation, and at the same time teach you some Martial Soul knowledge. Later, depending on the situation, we will arrange for you to enroll in a Soul Master Academy so that you can become a Soul Master as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi responded immediately.
They couldn't be more satisfied with this arrangement.
The thought that they might actually have the chance to become respected Soul Masters filled the two of them with excitement.
Joining the Spirit Hall was absolutely the right decision!
"As for you..."
His gaze shifted to the other two honest-looking children, and Ye Qifeng gave the instructions:
"Because you are ordinary people, you are not capable of doing the work of a Soul Master."
"At that time, you will be assigned to the Spirit Hall Merchant Alliance outpost of the Heaven Dou Spirit Hall as apprentices. What skills you learn will depend on yourselves."
"Yes."
Hearing the arrangement, the two honest-looking children were very happy and readily agreed.
It's a bit of a shame that they can't become Soul Masters like Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, since their innate Soul Power is zero.
But as long as they can make a living, they are content.
"And what about me? And what about me?"
At this moment, Raven suddenly asked in a hurry.
Raven was very happy for her friends, who all had plans and places to go.
She was very much looking forward to it, as her turn was approaching.
But when it came to my turn, there was suddenly no follow-up?
This made her a little anxious.
Hearing Raven's question, Ye Qifeng's lips curled slightly, he smiled gently, reached out and touched her hair, and said softly:
"The place you need to go is Wuhun City."
"I'm going to Wuhun City?"
Raven immediately opened her eyes wide, her small mouth agape, and then asked blankly:
"Huh? Am I going alone?"
"Yes."
Ye Qifeng nodded.
Raven's face immediately fell:
"Can't Xiao Liu and the others come with me?"
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly and explained:
"Wuhun City is not a place that everyone can go to. It is a sacred place for soul masters. Only soul masters with cultivation levels of Great Soul Master or above are allowed to enter and leave freely. Others are not allowed to enter or leave Wuhun City."
"Unless you belong to the Spirit Hall and have received a transfer order, or possess a special warrant or document issued by the Spirit Hall."
"in addition."
Ye Qifeng paused for a moment, then continued:
"The location of Wuhun City is at the junction of the southern border of the Heaven Dou Empire and the northern border of the Star Luo Empire, more than two thousand kilometers away from Heaven Dou City."
"Even traveling by horse-drawn carriage, without stopping, would take nearly a month."
"You may not understand how far this distance is now, but you will in the future."
"It's precisely because the journey is too long that Xiao Liu and the others are not suitable to go to Wuhun City."
After all, it would be tiring for a Title Douluo to fly if he carried too many people.
Ye Qifeng added in his mind.
"All right."
Raven pouted dejectedly.
Although she didn't know why she was allowed to go to Wuhun City while Xiao Liu and the others couldn't, she decided against it and shouldn't have asked so many questions.
Just follow Brother Ye's arrangements obediently; after all, he won't harm you or Xiao Liu.
After all, Brother Ye and Sister Xue'er are both good people.
Seeing Raven's adorable pout, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but smile, stroking her hair and saying gently:
There's a reason I'm sending you to Wuhun City.
"You are different from your friends. You have exceptional talent, and Wuhun City has excellent Soul Master resources that can help you cultivate and become stronger quickly."
"Also, when you go to Spirit City, besides paying homage to the Pope of our Spirit Hall, you will also be attending classes at the Spirit Hall Academy."
"Remember, if you want to become powerful, both Soul Master knowledge and cultural knowledge are essential. You must study them diligently, understand?"
"Okay, I understand."
Raven nodded repeatedly, then asked in a crisp voice:
"When am I going to Wuhun City?"
"No rush. During this time, you'll stay with me. I'll teach you some martial spirit theory and cultivation and combat skills as well."
"Night Wind said."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ye."
Raven said thank you.
"You're welcome."
Ye Qifeng waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's stop here for now. We can talk about these things later. Let's leave now."
"Is there anything else you want to take with you?"
Ye Qifeng asked a question.
"no."
Raven and her friends looked at each other for a few moments, then shook their heads.
They were all orphans in this neighborhood. Apart from Raven, who had saved up some money, the others were all alone and didn't have anything of value to begin with.
"The most valuable thing is already here."
Raven patted her bulging chest, inside which lay her small cloth bag.
"Then come with us," Ye Qifeng said.
"Okay." Raven and her friends nodded immediately.
"Xue'er, let's go back first."
Ye Qifeng turned his head and looked at Qian Renxue, who was staring at him silently, and said something to her.
"Um."
Turning her gaze away from Ye Qifeng, Qian Renxue said nothing, simply nodded, walked to Ruiwen, took her small hand, and said softly:
"Let's go."
Not long after.
Qian Renxue led Ruiwen by the hand, with Ye Qifeng walking alongside them. The three of them walked in front, followed by Xiao Liu and the other three, heading towards the bustling area in the east.
On the way, Ye Qifeng seemed to remember something, suddenly turned to look at Ruiwen, and asked softly:
"By the way, Little Raven, does your broken sword spirit have a name?"
Raven tilted her head, thought carefully for a moment, and finally shook her head:
"It seems not."
"How about I name it for you tonight?"
"Okay, okay."
"How about we call it 'The Exile's Blade'?"
"The Blade of Exile?"
Do you like it?
"I love it! It's a really nice name. From now on, my martial soul will be called the Blade of Exile. Thank you, Brother Ye!"
"Haha, you're welcome, I'm glad you like it."
