Chapter 60: Join
Pei Qing did not pay too much attention to Shui Bing'er's abnormality, but Bi Ji, who had been staying within the silver dragon king scale, sighed and shook her head slightly.
Others might not know, but how could she not know the terrifying attraction Pei Qing had for flying-type Soul Beasts and Martial Souls? How could an eleven or twelve-year-old girl resist it?
Even she couldn't resist the terrifying attraction emanating from Pei Qing. With Bi Ji's Cultivation, she could easily tell that Shui Bing'er's Martial Soul was a Phoenix.
However, what if it were a Phoenix? If her Bloodline couldn't be compared to Pei Qing's, she would still be attracted to him.
Moreover, the stronger the bloodline of a person, the stronger the attraction from Pei Qing would become.
"Then, Miss Bing'er, are you willing to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Sister Yan told you that I have a way to increase your cultivation speed, and that's not false. If you are willing to join us, I can promise to help you obtain your fourth soul ring within two years!"
Pei Qing looked at Shui Bing'er calmly. He did indeed want to recruit Shui Bing'er into his combat team.
Such a Genius, from every aspect, was worth recruiting.
If Shui Bing'er truly became one of his own, Pei Qing would not be stingy with Immortal Herbs or any other resources.
However, even if he wanted to recruit Shui Bing'er now, he would only offer a small incentive. The subsequent benefits would depend on Shui Bing'er's performance.
"Can you tell me your exact cultivation?"
Shui Bing'er felt that Pei Qing was truly handsome, with an irresistible allure.
However, she still wanted to know if what Pei Qing said was an exaggeration.
Shui Bing'er was a very rational person. If Pei Qing could truly make her stronger, she could join Heaven Dou Royal Academy. She believed her mother would not force her to join Sky Water Academy.
She wanted to know Pei Qing's cultivation to confirm that he could truly do what he claimed.
"Of course!"
Pei Qing chuckled, no longer restraining his aura. His Soul Ancestor cultivation was directly revealed to Shui Bing'er.
"You're a Soul Ancestor?"
Shui Bing'er felt Pei Qing's cultivation, her expression stiffening before her eyes widened in surprise.
"It's just a Soul Ancestor. If you are willing to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you can become a Soul Ancestor within two years. Moreover, if you encounter any cultivation difficulties, Poison Douluo will personally answer your questions."
"Oh... right, we also have the comprehensive care of Medical Saint Ye Renxin, so you don't have to worry about any hidden injuries to your body."
After Pei Qing finished speaking, he smiled and looked at Shui Bing'er, waiting for her to finish thinking.
He was not in a hurry to urge her. If a top Genius was easily invited and accepted.
Then Pei Qing would truly be suspicious. On the contrary, it was only after careful consideration, like Shui Bing'er, that he could truly trust her.
"I need to discuss this with my mother."
Shui Bing'er took a deep breath. She was already tempted, but she still needed to discuss it with her mother.
"Alright, once you've considered it, just come find me at the Dugu family."
After exchanging a few more words with Shui Bing'er, the two parted ways.
Pei Qing then found Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling on the street, who were licking candied hawthorns.
"You're back. Did Bing'er go back?"
Dugu Yan spotted Pei Qing at a glance, took a bite of her candied hawthorn, and then asked with a hint of confusion.
"She went back. She said she needed to discuss it with her mother. Let's go back too."
Pei Qing waved his hand, preparing to take the two girls back to the Academy, but his nonchalant attitude piqued Dugu Yan's curiosity.
"Aren't you worried about being rejected at all?"
"If I'm rejected, I'm rejected. I'm not going to force it."
The reason Pei Qing valued Shui Bing'er was because of her Ice Phoenix Martial Soul. If he were rejected, it would mean that his fate with Shui Bing'er was not enough. Such things could not be forced.
Ye Lingling smiled as she ate her candied hawthorn. She liked Pei Qing's personality.
He wouldn't force his will upon others and would give everyone enough respect.
At the hotel where Sky Water Academy was staying, Shui Bing'er told her mother everything she had encountered that night without any hesitation.
Shui Bing'er's mother, being the Vice Dean of Sky Water Academy, was naturally not weak. She was a seventy-eighth-level Soul Saint. After listening to her daughter's words, she fell into a long silence.
"I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity, Bing'er. If I'm not mistaken, that girl named Dugu Yan should be Poison Douluo's only granddaughter."
"As for that young man named Pei Qing, he should be the one who, a while ago in Spirit City, single-handedly defeated two Geniuses of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation."
"And the girl you mentioned, who was veiled and didn't speak, should be Ye Renxin's granddaughter."
"If it is them, Bing'er, joining them could bring you many benefits. Even staying by their side might not be worse than staying at Sky Water Academy!"
This was Shui Ningxin overestimating the role of Sky Water Academy, as Dugu Bo's protection and Ye Renxin's healing alone already far surpassed Sky Water Academy by more than a dozen streets.
"So, Bing'er, what do you think?"
Shui Ningxin now felt that it wouldn't be bad for her daughter to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but she still decided to respect her daughter's choice.
Although her daughter's choice of Heaven Dou Royal Academy would have a certain impact on her as the Vice Dean of Sky Water Academy, her daughter's future was more important.
"I want to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Geniuses are always surrounded by Geniuses."
"At Sky Water Academy, I would undoubtedly be first, but after joining Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I will have several mountains worth climbing in front of me."
Shui Bing'er's gaze was solemn. She wasn't just attracted to the feeling Pei Qing gave her.
She also wanted to spar with more Geniuses. Sky Water Academy was indeed suitable for her, but Geniuses who could improve together were rare.
If she always remained first, she would eventually become complacent. But when there are Geniuses around her who are equally strong or even stronger, she will not only not become complacent but will even work harder.
"Since you've made your decision, then Mother supports you!"
"I'll talk to your father about it, but first, we need to make a trip to Poison Douluo's mansion!"
Shui Bing'er nodded. She understood that her mother was worried about her being deceived and wanted to confirm it herself.
"I'll go with Mother."
"Good, but we need to buy a gift first before we pay a visit. After all, that Poison Douluo has a strange personality, and we don't want to offend him!"
