After Bai Yu arrived at the Ye family's residence, he asked the gatekeeper to inform Ye Lingling, while he waited at the door.
Unlike Dugu Bo's place, the Ye family has more people here, so it wouldn't be good for him to just run in directly.
"Bai Yu, why are you here looking for ? Is there sothing you need?"
Bai Yu had only been waiting for a short while when Ye Lingling ca running up to him.
"Hehe, can't I co to see you if there's nothing wrong? That's really disheartening. I thought you would miss , but I guess I was just overthinking it."
Bai Yu chuckled, raised his hand to cover his chest, and said in a sowhat teasing tone.
Ye Lingling gave him a reproachful look, grabbed his arm, and walked into the courtyard, chattering incessantly as they went.
"You're always being silly. Don't you know how much I miss you? Co on, my mom knows you're here and is waiting for you inside."
"But my grandfather is not here and cannot welco you. Ever since his martial soul problem was resolved, he ran back to the clan territory and hasn't co out since."
"Hehe, Mom said that the clan elders have been pressuring him to remarry. Grandpa had no choice but to retreat back to the clan territory, but unfortunately it didn't help much because the elders went back with him!"
(TL: whats the fertility rate of 80 year old n? Hes not a titled douluo so his lifespan is still that of a normal human, so I doubt his body is in shape to do that lol)
Bai Yu's lips twitched slightly. He knew without a doubt that Ye Qingyin had instigated this, and that she would definitely gloat afterward.
As for Ye Lingling, well… she takes after her mother. While she wouldn't exactly gloat, getting her to speak on her behalf would be a long shot.
"Xiao Yu, it's been a long ti. You're here to see Lingling, right? I knew you two would end up together sooner or later."
Ye Qingyin's eyes lit up when she saw Bai Yu, and she imdiately went over to greet it.
"Tell Auntie quickly, when did you two get together? Lingling, that girl, she never tells anything. I've raised her for nothing!"
Bai Yu grinned. He still couldn't quite handle Ye Qingyin's personality. Mainly, this person always gave him a feeling of being very familiar with him.
(TL: reminds of Haruno Yukinoshita)
"Well, Lingling and I only started dating a month ago. Didn't Lingling tell you?"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Ye Qingyin's expression changed, and she said with a sowhat mournful look:
"What are you saying? This girl has grown up and has a man now, she doesn't listen to anymore."
"I saw her soul power suddenly surge before, and she even started cultivating so strange things. I asked her about it then."
"But this brat is so stubborn. She won't say anything and runs away as soon as I ask her anything. I already guessed it was you. What else is there to hide?"
"After all, only you have the ans to make Lingling leap five or six levels and beco a Soul Ancestor without affecting her foundation."
Ye Qingyin complained to Bai Yu, who could only listen with a wry smile. He had so guesses as to why Ye Lingling didn't say anything.
It's probably because the day they officially beca a couple was a bit awkward, and Ye Lingling just couldn't bring herself to say it.
After all, once Ye Lingling admits it, given Ye Qingyin's personality, she will definitely ask about the process, and Ye Lingling will basically never tell anyone about that process in her entire life.
Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, Ye Lingling interrupted her, afraid that Bai Yu might accidentally reveal the embarrassing scene from that day.
"Ugh, since you've already guessed it, why do you keep asking? Isn't it annoying?"
"Oh right, didn't you have sothing you wanted to ask Bai Yu? Now that he's here, go ahead and ask him. Just don't talk about anymore!"
Ye Qingyin glanced at Ye Lingling and snorted softly. She knew there was sothing fishy going on in this matter, otherwise the girl wouldn't be so resistant.
But she decided not to ask for now, otherwise her daughter would be very difficult to appease if she got angry.
"Well, I do have a question. Xiao Yu, didn't you tell to follow the arrangents made by Spirit City?"
"Because Ye Shan and I are too conspicuous to go in person, we can only send soone to Spirit City to see what Her Holiness the Pope has planned."
"But the reply from Spirit City surprised greatly."
"Because the ssage brought back by the people we sent was that our Ye family should move closer to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of Heaven Dou. This is really too unexpected."
"Xiao Yu, can you tell Auntie what your Spirit Hall is planning? And what is the relationship between Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Spirit Hall?"
Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth, a smile flashing in his eyes. In fact, he was there when the Ye family sent people to Spirit City, so he was the one who gave the order.
Since the decision has already been made to unify the Heaven Dou Empire, it would be better to have the Ye family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School directly support Qian Renxue.
This not only saves a step in the process, but also makes those who don't know the inside story think that the Crown Prince is exceptionally capable and can win over forces for the empire, thus giving Qian Renxue more say.
"Hehe, the two great empires on the continent have been fighting for years, with countless deaths and injuries. Spirit Hall wants to see what the result would be if the continent were unified."
"So we found a partner, Xue Qinghe, and after he ascended to the throne, the Spirit Hall would support him from behind, so that the Heaven Dou Empire could unify the continent."
"So, Aunt Ye, now you know why Spirit Hall wanted the Ye family to align themselves with Xue Qinghe, right?"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Ye Qingyin's expression was one of disbelief.
In her opinion, Spirit Hall had been making constant moves over the years, seemingly intent on causing trouble, and it seed they were determined to unify the continent.
This is also the consensus of all forces on the continent. Especially in recent years, even the scale of the war between the two great empires has been reduced in order to preserve their strength to deal with the Spirit Hall.
Unexpectedly, Spirit Hall did not intend to intervene directly, but instead aid to achieve continental unification by supporting a local power.
So, in that case, aren't all these families and sects just clowns?
"Ah, I see. I thought... By the way, since Spirit Hall plans to support a force, why is it the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"Considering the war potential of the two empires, Star Luo seems to have the advantage, right? So why not choose to support the Star Luo Empire?"
Upon hearing Ye Qingyin's question, Bai Yu sighed and said helplessly:
"Indeed, Star Luo is stronger than Heaven Dou, but they are too restless. Their cold-blooded successor training system makes the entire Star Luo seem sowhat irritable."
"Spirit Hall supports the unification of the continent in order to make the continent more stable. If the Star Luo Empire were to take the helm, given the nature of the Dai family, they would most likely cause trouble again."
"So comparatively speaking, the Xue family of the Heaven Dou royal family is better, at least they have more human touch."
Ye Qingyin nodded slowly, her expression thoughtful. What Bai Yu said did make so sense. The Star Luo Royal Family were cold-blooded, ruthless, and extrely aggressive.
If they were allowed to unify the continent, trouble would indeed easily arise.
