Chapter 13: My Martial Soul is a Suona! Please get to know me!
Li Jiuyou was looking down at the patterns on the croissant when he suddenly heard a noise on his left.
He turned his head and saw three people dressed as inner disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gathered together, with another person in the middle.
"Bullying?"
The word appeared in Li Jiuyou's mind.
I've only ever seen school bullying and workplace bullying, but this is the first time I've ever seen sect bullying. It's quite novel.
Li Jiu, with a touch of humor, took a few steps closer and listened intently.
The facts were pretty much as he had guessed. After listening for a while, Li Jiuyou understood the general situation.
It's because they just awakened their martial souls a few months ago, and there's competition among the children, so they naturally look down on those with less talent.
The child surrounded by them seemed to have awakened a musical instrument-type martial spirit.
"Go up and play a tune! This is your chance to shine!"
"Yeah, yeah, boss, this is for your own good. After all, your martial soul can't fight, its support ability is weak, and your voice is awful."
The noise continued, with people urging the child to run onto the stage.
The person currently on stage is someone hired by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from Yuexuan, who is playing the harp.
Suddenly, Li Jiuyou stopped hearing the familiar voices. He looked up, and the three of them turned around.
"Boss, that guy's weird, isn't he? It looks like he's eavesdropping on our conversation!"
The sound wasn't loud, but Li Jiuyou heard it very clearly.
He couldn't help but sigh. Right from the start, he encountered Ning Fengzhi and two Douluo. Every day he had to cultivate, act, and coax the little princess from time to time.
All I wanted to do was listen quietly and see what was fun, and relax for a bit, but I still got caught.
Well, what else can we do?
Li Jiuyou picked up the bread from the plate and handed it out, saying, "It tastes good, would you like some?"
The three of them were clearly stunned, not expecting Li Jiuyou to say such a thing.
In this situation, shouldn't one be begging for mercy or making excuses?
"You little brat...were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Li Jiuyou pointed around and said:
"Think carefully. This is indoors, and the elders of the Enforcement Hall are watching from upstairs."
Upon hearing this, the three men indeed showed signs of worry.
But Li Jiuyou clearly overestimated them. While the elders were indeed terrifying to these children, this fear was something they had only heard about by word of mouth, and they didn't have a concrete impression of it.
At this moment, what they cared about more was that the unfamiliar faces they had never seen in the inner sect were not afraid of them.
"If you know what's good for you, come out and talk to us, otherwise your future days won't be easy!"
Li Jiuyou nodded, then walked towards the door.
The three looked at each other and laughed, then immediately followed. The child who had been bullied at first hesitated before following as well.
Ning Rongrong, who had been on the second floor but had been keeping a close eye on Li Jiuyou, was about to leave when she saw this scene, but Ning Fengzhi called out to her:
"Rongrong, come here and meet your brother Qinghe. You should get to know him better in the future."
Ning Rongrong said "Oh" and reluctantly went over.
the other side.
The five of them had already gone outside. Li Jiuyou looked at the child beside him, who was rubbing his hands together, and asked:
What are you doing here?
"You were targeted by them because of me... so... anyway, let me assist you. My martial spirit has a support function!"
He speaks unclearly and has a slight stutter; he might repeat the word "I" four or five times before continuing with the next sentence.
Li Jiuyou was somewhat helpless; this was the first time he had ever seen a child who looked so much like a child in a fantasy world.
Generally speaking, precocious children are not good.
After all, in Douluo Continent, children as young as twelve can get married, start a family, and build a career.
Seemingly noticing Li Jiuyou's disbelief, the child immediately summoned his martial spirit and placed a golden trumpet-shaped instrument near his mouth.
"Trust me! Although... although my support skills aren't great, I... I can help you!"
Li Jiuyou stared at this martial spirit, feeling a sense of familiarity.
"Hey! Have you two finished chatting?"
"If you don't admit your mistake, I'll beat you so badly you won't be able to move!"
Li Jiuyou ignored them completely and turned to the child, asking, "What is your martial spirit? Tell me."
"Huh? I...it, it's called a suona...I've never seen this instrument in a book..."
"Holy crap."
"My name is Li Jiuyou, please make sure you get to know me!"
Although the child didn't understand, he nodded nonetheless.
It's really unexpected that someone would be willing to be my friend!
"I...I am called..."
"Are you two bastards treating us like we don't exist?! Turn around and look at me!"
The eldest of the three could not stand being ignored. He immediately summoned his long-horned rhinoceros spirit to possess it, and then ran towards Li Jiuyou with heavy steps.
The child with the Suona Martial Soul wanted to remind Li Jiuyou that the other party was a genius with innate sixth-level soul power, but the words got stuck in his throat before he could finish speaking.
Because he saw that Li Jiuyou didn't even bother with words, his crimson-gold soul power surged from his hand, and he then grasped the other's fist.
"Ignore him, just tell me your name."
Li Jiuyou twisted his wrist, then grabbed the other person's hand and flung it out. A moment later, a heavy object was heard hitting the ground with a "bang".
"I...I'm Fan Hai...My innate soul power...Level 5..."
Li Jiuyou nodded, then turned to look at the two children who had run to their leader's side.
To be honest, he wasn't really interested in this kind of children's fighting.
He walked over to the three of them, put his arms around the shoulders of two of them, and said, "That's enough. Don't even think about causing me trouble. Use your brains. Do you think I'm wearing sect robes?"
All three children, including the one lying on the ground, looked at Li Jiuyou.
Only then did they realize that Li Jiuyou was not wearing the outer or inner sect clothes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but a black robe.
"You're not from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Who are you?"
The leader immediately asked about Li Jiuyou's identity, and even answered his own question.
"Only members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire are allowed to attend tonight's banquet. Are you perhaps from the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Li Jiuyou neither affirmed nor denied it.
Since he guessed it anyway and I didn't answer, it would be a good thing if he didn't dare to cause any more trouble because of that.
"Get lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them ran away without daring to linger.
Everyone knew that tonight was a major event for the sect and the Heaven Dou Empire to take their relationship a step further. Their fathers had already warned them that if they ruined their relationship with the people of the Heaven Dou Empire, the consequences would be dire.
Fan Hai came to Li Jiuyou's side at this moment, his eyes sparkling.
"You're so amazing... Brother Jiuyou!"
Li Jiuyou felt goosebumps rise all over his body.
If he wasn't mistaken, Fan Hai, though thin, was indeed a boy.
"Don't use reduplicated words, just call me Brother Jiuyou."
