Chapter 132 Does this template look familiar?
The young man had sharp, piercing eyes and a cold expression as he silently watched the gate.
Ye Nanxiao walked a little closer and saw that the boy was tightly holding a token in his right hand, which was placed in front of his chest.
The token is black and white, with a fierce tiger head on the part that protrudes from the palm, its eyes being different colors.
The tiger head emblem features heterochromatic tiger eyes.
Ye Nanxiao quickly learned the identity of the young man. As expected, the person in front of him was Dai Luoli, the fourth son of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger.
Dai Luoli also noticed Ye Nanxiao approaching, but only glanced at him coldly before returning her gaze to the gate.
"Are you waiting for someone?" Ye Nanxiao asked, standing next to Dai Luoli.
Dai Luoli hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly.
"With this token in hand, what is your relationship to the White Tiger Duke?" Ye Nanxiao pretended not to know Dai Luoli's identity and pointed to the token in Dai Luoli's hand.
Dai Luoli looked down at the White Tiger Token in her hand, a hint of anger flashing across her cold face. She gripped the token tightly and remained silent.
"Judging from your age, you must be the youngest son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Luoli, right?" Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao's smile eased Dai Luoli's furrowed brows considerably. She nodded and said, "I am Dai Luoli."
Seeing Dai Luoli's indifference, which was just like Huo Yuhao's back then, Ye Nanxiao became interested in striking up a conversation.
The once aloof and indifferent young boy Huo Yuhao has now transformed into a cunning and slightly scheming little fox, only lacking a tail compared to Ye Nanxiao.
"My name is Ye Nanxiao, young man."
"You said your name is Ye Nanxiao!"
Ye Nanxiao was interrupted by Dai Luoli before he could finish speaking.
At this moment, Dai Luoli looked at Ye Nanxiao with fervent eyes, and the coldness on her face quickly melted away.
"You know me?" Ye Nanxiao was a little surprised, since he had only given his name.
Dai Luoli nodded, waving her hands haphazardly in the air, and said excitedly, "Your name has already spread throughout Xingluo City. Um, I also yearn to become like you. You are my cultivation goal."
Ye Nanxiao blinked. Had he met a little fanboy? Did he have fans now?
A sense of pride rose in his heart, and a smile appeared on Ye Nanxiao's face.
I have fans now!
It's a pity I'm the only one here, otherwise I could show those guys in the academy who always look down on me that I have fans.
"Easy, easy. I never thought I'd become famous, especially in Xingluo City. Come on! Tell me, how did I become famous?" Ye Nanxiao rubbed his ears, pretending to listen.
"An orphan." Dai Luoli had only said three words when she suddenly hesitated, her eyes darting around as she pondered how to tell Ye Nanxiao.
The smile on Ye Nanxiao's face vanished instantly.
Although he does admire Solskjaer, he fought one-on-one based on his own strength. Why would he question this?
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's smile disappear, Dai Luoli quickly shook her head and said, "No, that's not what I meant. I meant that you, Brother Ye, were an orphan, but you embarked on the path of the strong on your own."
Dai Luoli rattled off a string of stories, "Overcoming the disadvantages of extreme attributes, fighting against the Sun Moon Empire single-handedly, and there are many other stories, such as the Frost Sword Saint, the genius Soul Master, the Jade-Faced Immortal, a boy who is more handsome than a girl and would definitely look better than all the girls when he wears women's clothes, the future captain of Shrek Academy, and so on."
A question mark slowly appeared above Ye Nanxiao's head. Had something strange just gotten mixed in?
"Should we say their imaginations are terrifying, or are these people just bored and have nothing better to do?" Xue Di suddenly said.
"Actually, there aren't many honest people in this world who tell the truth, but there just happens to be a lot of them in Xingluo City. I think what they said is quite right, except for that cross-dresser," Ye Nanxiao said.
"The immersion is very strong; I'm already an immortal wielding a cold sword."
Xue Di silently wrote in the book she conjured: "Outward appearance of gold and jade, inward appearance of Ye Nanxiao."
Ye Nanxiao patted Dai Luoli on the shoulder and said in a serious tone, "Come on, young man, I'm quite interested in my story. Let's go inside and talk about it in detail."
He was simply interested in his own folk tales; he definitely didn't want to hear his little fanboy praising him.
Ye Nanxiao opened the door of Juxing Hall and led Dai Luoli into the hall.
Xu Jiujiu and Xu Yun were sitting at a soul guide table discussing something.
Upon seeing the two arrive, Xu Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Luo Li? What brings you here?"
"Sister Yun!" When Dai Luoli saw Xu Yun, her body stiffened slightly, her hands were pressed against her thighs, she didn't know where to put them, she didn't dare to meet Xu Yun's eyes, and her face was slightly red.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me 'sister'? Just call me by my name." Xu Yun said with a smile in her eyes, tapping Dai Luoli on the head, and said with some dissatisfaction.
After being tapped by Xu Yun, Dai Luoli instead revealed a simple, honest smile.
Seeing Dai Luoli acting like a shy little boy, Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt that he shouldn't have brought this guy in.
He used to be the one showing off his love, but now someone is actually showing off their love in front of him.
The clown is me!
After saying goodbye to Ye Nanxiao, Xu Jiujiu left with Xu Yun. Clearly, the topic they were discussing was not suitable for Ye Nanxiao to hear.
Dai Luoli kept her eyes on Xu Yun as she watched him leave.
Seeing this, Ye Nanxiao suddenly became defiant again. This guy hasn't succeeded yet, but I've already reached the finish line.
"Little Li, if you like her, go after her." Ye Nanxiao covered his mouth, as if to say, "I won't laugh out loud."
Dai Luoli, having been exposed, scratched her head and did not deny Ye Nanxiao's words.
"I wanted to too. Although we grew up together, I am an illegitimate son and am not well-liked. Sister Yun is a noble princess of the royal family. There is too much difference in our status. I came here today to see Sister Yun one more time before I join the army." Dai Luoli said with her head down and a dejected tone.
"Isn't your father the White Tiger Duke? Do you still need to enlist in the army?" Ye Nanxiao asked deliberately, wanting to know more details.
"My mother was just a concubine of the Duke of White Tiger. That man was focused on the army, and the Duke's wife made all the decisions in the manor. As the son of the Duke of White Tiger, I was only slightly better off than a servant," Dai Luoli said with a mocking expression.
Ye Nanxiao walked to Dai Luoli's side, placed his hand on Dai Luoli's shoulder, his eyes flashed slightly, and a surge of spiritual energy entered Dai Luoli's body.
Dai Luoli thought Ye Nanxiao was comforting him, but little did he know that Ye Nanxiao was secretly probing his martial soul's condition.
Through the feedback of his mental energy, Ye Nanxiao saw a pure white ball of light inside Dai Luoli's body; this was Dai Luoli's martial soul.
However, half of the light was noticeably dim, indicating that Dai Luoli's martial spirit had not been fully utilized and was in a semi-used state.
Ye Nanxiao withdrew his hand, pinched his chin, and pondered. He felt that this situation was very familiar.
Born into a powerful family with a strong father, but because he was born out of wedlock, he was not valued and was even suppressed and ridiculed. His inner power has not yet been fully awakened. He has a childhood sweetheart of high status.
"Why do I always feel like this is a perfect protagonist template?" Ye Nanxiao raised his right eyebrow and carefully examined Dai Luoli for a few moments.
As a kind-hearted fox, when encountering someone similar to the protagonist, of course she would try her best to deceive, no, help him.
"Don't be discouraged. As long as you are strong enough, no one will care that you are an illegitimate son," Ye Nanxiao said.
Dai Luoli looked up at Ye Nanxiao, her eyes filled with envy. "My talent is limited, and the cultivation resources allocated by the manor are not many. Even if I try my best to cultivate, my speed is still very slow. I want to prove that I am not inferior to Lady Baihu's two sons, so I secretly ran away to join the army. I want to become a general in the army!"
"If I were to say that your talent is average, it's because your martial soul hasn't fully awakened," Ye Nanxiao said mysteriously.
Dai Luoli stared wide-eyed at Ye Nanxiao, her voice trembling, "My White Tiger Martial Soul is a mutated Martial Soul, and after it was attached to me, it didn't have the double pupils that are part of my family's insignia."
Seeing the hope in Dai Luoli's eyes, Ye Nanxiao was overjoyed and smiled.
"Little Li, do you believe me?" Ye Nanxiao seemed to be wagging a fox's tail behind him, just like an old man trying to seduce the protagonist.
Without hesitation, Dai Luoli nodded emphatically and said, "Of course I believe in Brother Ye!"
Ye Nanxiao nodded, opened his right hand, and a sleeping white tiger ice sculpture appeared in his hand. He said, "Your current situation is like that of a sleeping white tiger, not yet awakened. If you fully awaken your martial spirit, then you can announce your arrival to the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ice sculpture in Ye Nanxiao's hand slowly began to move, making a roaring motion towards the sky.
Dai Luoli's eyes were filled with fanaticism as he muttered to himself, "Then I can marry Sister Yun!"
Ye Nanxiao's smile froze on his face, his lips twitching slightly. Do all protagonists rise to power only because of women? Can't you have some self-respect? Women only slow down your sword-drawing speed!
"That fox is quite pleased to hear the title of Frost Sword Saint, and besides, isn't his wife the most important person in his heart? Can't he have some self-respect?" A rant echoed in Ye Nanxiao's mind.
Human nature is such that people find things delicious.
Ye Huli silently accepted the contempt from Xue Di.
Dai Luoli quickly became frustrated again. "The White Tiger Duke's only concern has been allocated to his two sons by the White Tiger Lady. I'm afraid it will be very difficult for me to see him."
Here comes the main event. A ball of spiritual energy appeared in Ye Nanxiao's hand, and he said, "Little Li, I can awaken your martial soul."
After speaking, Ye Nanxiao looked at Dai Luoli with a smile, rubbing his right index finger and thumb back and forth.
Upon hearing this, Dai Luoli looked sharply at Ye Nanxiao, her eyes filled with expectation and a hint of pleading, and said, "Please help me fully awaken my martial soul, Brother Ye. In return, as long as it's within my power, Brother Ye, please feel free to ask. Whether it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, Luoli won't even blink!"
"Alright, since you put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony. After I help you awaken, you have to do three things for me." Ye Nanxiao said without any politeness, holding up three fingers.
"Let alone three things, even a hundred or a thousand, Luo Li will do her best to do them!" Dai Luo Li clenched her fists and said firmly.
"It's done," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile.
