Chapter 107 - Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er

Shui Fu's words caused Shui Ruoxi—who had been the family head and dean for decades and had witnessed much—to be momentarily stunned. Didn't this mean that the Star Crown Sect had at least three Titled Douluo?

At this moment, the Shui family, or Tianshui Academy, and even the five elemental academies as a whole, stood on the brink of danger.

Originally, the five elemental academies were closely connected and could be considered a strong force. But now, with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan destroyed, the Thunder Academy it supported had weakened drastically.

The Elephant Armored Sect had led the entire Elephant Armored Academy to join the Spirit Hall, completely separating from the five elemental academies' alliance.

Among the three remaining academies, Kamikaze Academy and Chihuo Academy maintained better relations and relied on each other for support.

Only Tianshui was struggling to face this situation alone, especially since they were the only high-level soul master academy that recruited civilians, placing them at the center of the storm. They were now in dire need of a powerful ally.

Shui Ruoxi asked Shui Fu to wait a moment and ordered the servants to bring her two young granddaughters. Then she sat at her desk and began to write. The letter was filled with admiration for the Star Crown Sect.

Soon, a servant arrived carrying two little girls with long sea-blue hair. One of them obediently held the servant's hand and respectfully greeted Shui Ruoxi and Shui Fu with courtesy.

The other broke free from the servant's hand as soon as she entered, leaping into Shui Ruoxi's arms and hugging her tightly.

"Grandma, Yue'er missed you so much. You didn't play with Yue'er today."

"Alright, alright, Grandma will play with Yue'er tonight. Bing'er, come here and sit down."

"Thank you, Grandma."

The servant withdrew quietly. Shui Fu looked at her two nieces, who were already beginning to show signs of beauty. She had a few guesses in her mind about her aunt's reason for calling them over. She hoped it was what she was thinking.

"Bing'er, Yue'er, this is your Aunt Shui Fu. She left the family before you were born and has only just returned."

"Hello, Auntie."

Shui Ruoxi gently stroked her granddaughters' heads with affection. These were her beloved descendants, especially Shui Bing'er, who possessed the powerful Ice Phoenix martial soul and was the only candidate to become the next Shui family head. She might even have the potential to reach the realm of Titled Douluo.

She had summoned them this time because she planned to send them to the Star Crown Sect with Shui Fu. If possible, she wanted Shui Yue'er to interact more with the young talents of the sect—it would be even better if they could build rapport through conversation.

If the two sisters weren't so inseparable, she would definitely have sent only Shui Yue'er. In her heart, Shui Bing'er was the top candidate to inherit the Shui family, and she absolutely could not marry outside the clan.

"Bing'er, Yue'er, didn't Grandma once tell you about the powerful sects on the continent? Do you want to go and see one for yourselves?"

"Yes, Grandma. Yue'er wants to go. It must be so fun out there."

Shui Ruoxi looked at Shui Bing'er and, seeing her nod, continued.

"Alright then, let your Aunt Shui Fu take you to visit the Star Crown Sect."

Shui Yue'er immediately agreed, but Shui Bing'er was slightly stunned. Children on the Douluo Continent matured early, and by the age of ten, she already understood many things and knew how important she was to the Shui family.

The Shui family wanted to strengthen their ties with the Star Crown Sect. So what would they do with these two little girls? Shui Bing'er knew the Shui family would never give her up, so the only possibility was...

She looked at her cheerful younger sister and wanted to say something, but in the end, she stayed silent.

What use would speaking up be? After all, they were still weak juniors. Besides, this might not be a bad thing for her little sister. She too had heard of the strength of the Star Crown Sect.

Shui Fu looked at her aunt and then at the two nieces. She roughly understood her aunt's intentions, but still decided to address the matter.

"Aunt, what do you mean by this?"

"Aren't you going to visit the Star Crown Sect soon? I'll trouble you to deliver my letter and the gifts prepared by the Shui family. As for Bing'er and Yue'er, I'd like you and Song Jiang to take them to see the world, so Yue'er can interact more with the young talents of the Star Crown Sect."

"Alright, I understand. Song Jiang and I will certainly protect them both."

The matter was thus settled. Half a month later, Shui Fu and Song Jiang took advantage of the decreased attention from outsiders and brought Shui Bing'er and her younger sister from the Shui family to Star Luo Mountain. Accompanying them was a Soul Saint-level expert from the Shui family assigned to protect the two sisters.

Shui Yue'er looked excitedly at the scenery outside the carriage. It was her first time leaving Tianshui City, and the outside world was so beautiful.

Shui Bing'er, sitting across from her, still felt uneasy. She didn't know whether this trip to the Star Crown Sect would be a blessing or a curse for them.

Just like the Shui family, there were others in the Star Crown Sect who had decided to hire Song Jiang to go overseas with him and return with a powerful soul guide master. One such person was the Emperor of Star Luo, Dai Feng.

He was very familiar with the symbol of the most powerful sect in the Star Luo Empire. As soon as he saw the pattern on the shop reported by his subordinates, he immediately believed it was established by the Star Crown Sect.

He paced within the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire. Though the major powers were now covertly cooperating to target the Spirit Hall, the Star Crown Sect was still a sect within Star Luo Empire's territory.

If the Star Crown Sect truly grew stronger in the future, would that threaten the Dai family's control over the Star Luo Empire? This was something he had to consider as the Star Luo Emperor.

"Your Majesty, why are you so worried? The Star Crown Sect is just a sect. Our Dai family has ruled the Xingluo Empire for years. They can't overthrow it just because they have one or two Titled Douluo."

The Star Luo Empress strolled in casually with a pot of stew. In her heart, the combined Dai and Zhu families were the strongest force in the Star Luo Empire. While they didn't have many titled powerhouses, they had several pairs of Netherworld White Tiger combinations that could unleash title-level power.

"I hope so. If not for the Spirit Hall, we wouldn't be so passive. I just don't know what kind of deal they've struck with the Star Crown Sect that they're now getting along so well."

"Your Majesty, in that case, why don't we try to win over the Star Crown Sect? I heard one of their disciples is studying at the Royal Academy, and isn't Weiss also there now?"

"That's right. He's now the captain of the next Soul Master Competition team. Let Weiss serve as acting captain and try to establish more contact with him.

Remember, tell Weiss to set aside his pride and treat others as equals. If we can make friends, that will be a great benefit to our Star Luo Empire."

Xu Mingxi's younger brother, Xu Mingjie, had a natural soul power of level nine and had become a Soul Sect at the age of twenty. He was even expected to become a Soul King before the Soul Master Competition.

In the eyes of outside powers, he was clearly a future pillar of the Star Crown Sect and must be treated well and never offended.
