A Bold Idea and an Expensive Price
In the Elder Hall, Broad Hill was animatedly describing his disciple's Martial Soul abilities and development ideas, and then casually mentioned that he might have found a way to advance further. Lion, Qian Jun, and Jiang Mo couldn't keep their composure.
Azure Luan, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind. He had always been fond of Broad Hill. He would only be happy if his younger brother made progress. Moreover, although he had a Beast Martial Soul, the Martial Soul itself also had elemental attributes. After listening to Broad Hill's description, he was also faintly moved.
Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile didn't say anything, but exchanged a glance, seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. They hadn't expected that Broad Hill would actually gain something from their casual suggestion to take a disciple. Furthermore, they keenly sensed from Broad Hill's description that Han Li's talent might not only be reflected in his Martial Soul, but his thinking was his greatest asset.
While the people in the Elder Hall were discussing the subsequent cultivation path, Han Li had already followed the guard to the residence Broad Hill had prepared for him.
From his conversation with the guard along the way, Han Li had learned that currently, besides the few Elders, only the newly arrived siblings lived here. And the Elders only occasionally stayed here, while Broad Hill and Azure Luan lived here permanently, right next to their residence.
After thanking and sending off the guard, Han Li walked into the place where he would live for the next few years. As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw Xiu'er running towards him quickly, obviously having waited for a while.
"Young Master, you're back."
Xiu'er stopped in front of him, calling out with joy.
"Yes, Sister Xiu'er, I'm back. How is it? Are you satisfied with the place Teacher arranged?"
Han Li took her hand and asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's much bigger than the courtyard in Notting City, but... but there are also many more servants. I told them that I'm just the Young Master's maid, but they don't listen, they insist on calling me 'Miss' and want to serve me, which makes me very uncomfortable."
Xiu'er's small face was full of distress, and when she mentioned the servants, she secretly looked at Han Li's expression, as if afraid that they would steal her job as a personal maid.
Han Li naturally noticed Xiu'er's little actions, but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked around and pulled her to sit down in a pavilion.
"Sister Xiu'er, don't worry, and you should know that I've always regarded you as my sister, so don't mention the word 'maid' in the future."
Han Li looked at Xiu'er, who stood up anxiously upon hearing his words, waved his hand, and pulled her back down before speaking again, "Don't worry, let me finish. I know what you mean. Sister Xiu'er, you also know that Teacher is a Titled Douluo, so we can only learn to adapt. Since he says you are my sister, then you are my sister."
Han Li, who had tried to persuade her many times before, directly threw out the trump card of Broad Hill Douluo this time. For the natives, nothing was more effective than this.
Seeing that the girl was still troubled but not as resistant, Han Li pressed on, "This is all arranged by Teacher, so, Sister Xiu'er, you don't want to anger Teacher because of this little thing, do you?"
Xiu'er's face changed, and she quickly said, "Then I'll listen to you, Young... Xiao Li."
Seeing Han Li nod in satisfaction, Xiu'er said in a low voice, somewhat dejectedly, "Xiao Li, does that mean I won't be able to take care of you like before?"
Han Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Take it slowly, this is Sister Xiu'er's hang-up.
He said seriously, "Of course not, Sister Xiu'er, you are my sister, who can stop a sister from taking care of her younger brother?"
Seeing Xiu'er raise her head in surprise, he continued, "And I'm also used to Sister Xiu'er's care. In my place, there's only one personal maid, and that's Sister Xiu'er."
"Of course, I'll still take care of Young... Xiao Li in the future," Xiu'er said confidently.
"But, Sister Xiu'er, promise me, you have to accept the other maids' care for you too, okay?" Han Li asked.
"No... uh, no problem."
Xiu'er wanted to refuse at first, but seemed to think of something and agreed after a moment's hesitation.
Got it. Han Li gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. The work of comforting a girl was really difficult. This time, he only managed to get Xiu'er to back down a little by borrowing his teacher's name. The road ahead was long and arduous, so he would take it slowly.
Looking at Xiu'er, who had returned to normal after the conversation, Han Li's eyes flickered, and he thought of Qian Daoliu's promise.
Perhaps the plan to allow Sister Xiu'er to cultivate again should also be put on the agenda.
He had been planning this matter in his heart for a long time. After confirming that reawakening her Martial Soul was useless, he had come up with a bold idea after reading various books over the years, but he had never been able to try it. But now, he saw hope, and the hope came from Qian Daoliu.
Letting the happy Xiu'er lead him to familiarize himself with the new residence, Han Li's heart became more and more determined about what conditions he should ask for.
Of course, he could directly bring Sister Xiu'er into the God Realm after he became a god, but before that, her life was too boring. As for immortal herbs, it wasn't that he was reluctant to part with them, but even the weakest and most gentle immortal herb might be too much for an ordinary person who had never cultivated to bear, and she might explode and die.
There was nothing to hesitate about, was there? Han Li made a decision as he looked at Xiu'er's happy figure in front of him.
After touring the entire new residence, it was dinner time, and Han Li finally waited for his teacher, accompanied by Azure Luan Douluo. Xiu'er decisively chose to run to the kitchen, she had to tell those people what Xiao Li liked to eat.
After greeting him, Broad Hill threw a few things to Han Li, including a meditation method suitable for Weapon Martial Souls that he had improved based on the Angel Faction's meditation method, an Elder token, and a manual.
Han Li curiously opened the manual and heard Broad Hill say, "The people on the manual are considered my followers. You can contact them to solve some small matters. If they can't solve them, then tell me. As for the meditation method, you can't reveal it to outsiders except for your family and disciples. Oh, you have no one to pass it on to, and Xiu'er can't cultivate either."
As soon as Broad Hill's words fell, Azure Luan poked him. Han Li looked up at Broad Hill's embarrassed expression, knowing that he had said it unintentionally, and saw Azure Luan give him an apologetic look, so he shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
He looked around to make sure that Sister Xiu'er wasn't nearby, then looked at the two Super Douluos and revealed a serious expression, "Teacher, after obtaining my first Soul Ring tomorrow, I want to meet the Great Elder and make a request."
Broad Hill and Azure Luan looked at him with surprised expressions, seemingly not expecting that he would use that promise so quickly. They exchanged a glance, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.
Broad Hill coughed and took the initiative to speak, "Disciple, you probably don't know how important the Great Elder's promise is. Let me give you an example, do you know about 100,000-year Soul Rings?"
Han Li nodded, indicating he understood.
Broad Hill continued, "I suggest you don't rush. It's best to wait until you're ready to advance to Titled Douluo before making the request. Perhaps you can gain a 100,000-year soul ring and a corresponding soul bone. At that time, surpassing your teacher will only be a matter of time."
Han Li still nodded, but his expression didn't change. He looked at their concerned gazes and said, "Teacher, I understand, but I still want to ask now."
Han Li respectfully stood up, bowed to the two of them, and said seriously, "Teacher, Senior Uncle, please hear me out."
"I'm not blindly ignorant. It's just that, for me, there are things more important than a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone. I have an idea that perhaps only the Great Elder can help me realize."
"You've seen Xiu'er's situation. She partially awakened due to what happened before, but she's never been able to cultivate. And I have a bold idea: the reason Xiu'er can't cultivate might be because the incorrect awakening caused the soul power circulation routes in her body to not be fully opened, which is why she's in a semi-possessed state. I need a bear-type soul bone that's no more than a hundred years old, or rather, the weaker the better, preferably ten years old. If she can absorb it, perhaps she can reactivate her Martial Soul with the same source of energy and re-enter cultivation. If it doesn't work, it can also let me give up completely."
"But I also know how difficult it is to obtain such a soul bone. I know my choice may be a bit naive, but this is what I seek. Besides, as for 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones, I believe I can achieve them myself in the future. Therefore, please grant my request, Teacher."
After speaking, Han Li bowed and remained in that position for a long time.
