Chapter 528 Yue Guan was straightened out?
Just as the two were talking, Ruiwen and Fengxian, Yelan and Jin Yue'er, Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Chenxiang, who were in the middle of a training session, had already noticed the arrival of Ye Qifeng and Ghost Douluo Guimei.
The group stopped their training and, together with Xiao Mingyue who was watching and providing healing, gathered around Ye Qifeng and greeted Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
The arrival of Ye Qifeng greatly excited the seven members of the second team. Their excitement was palpable, and a group of girls chattered around Ye Qifeng for quite a while before dispersing to continue their own cultivation.
Ye Qifeng kept Feng Xian behind, intending to inquire about the unusual changes in Ju Douluo Yueguan.
Because of the ghost's arrival, Zhu Zhuqing also stayed behind. The master and disciple then whispered to each other about cultivation issues.
After Raven and the others left, Ye Qifeng looked at Feng Xian, pointed to Ju Douluo Yue Guan, whose gaze was slightly unfocused and who seemed lost in thought, and softly asked:
"Fengxian, do you know what's wrong with Elder Ju's current condition?"
Following Ye Qifeng's direction, Feng Xian glanced at Yue Guan, paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly:
"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but recently the teacher has been doing this a lot; she often spaces out or gets distracted."
"but."
Ye Qifeng looked at her and asked casually:
"But what?"
Feng Xian didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a while until her expression became somewhat strange, before replying in a soft voice:
"I think the teacher's behavior might be related to my mother."
Ye Qifeng was slightly taken aback:
"Related to your mother? What do you mean?"
Feng Xian nodded slightly and said:
"On several occasions when I visited my mother in my teacher's courtyard, I saw my teacher standing in the pavilion, staring blankly at my mother's busy figure, his expression much the same as it is now."
"However, her eyes weren't as lifeless as they are now. Back then, the way the teacher looked at my mother was much more complex, like, like..."
"Like looking at a family member, your eyes are filled with endless longing and deep respect, right?"
At this moment, a cold, hoarse voice rang out from the side, speaking the rest of the sentence for Feng Xian.
"Yes, yes, that's it."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xian nodded repeatedly, then quickly realized that the speaker was none other than the Ghost Douluo Gui Mei beside him, and hurriedly inquired respectfully:
"Elder Ghost, do you know why the teacher has become like this?"
Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing, who was standing next to him, also looked at the ghost.
The ghostly figure, shrouded in a wide black robe, seemed to chuckle softly:
"That's because he treats your mother like his own sister."
Feng Xian was stunned:
"Huh? Sister?"
The ghost nodded slightly:
"Yue Guan had an older sister named Yue Fei, but she passed away many years ago."
Then, the ghost briefly recounted the story of how Yue Guan and his sister Yue Fei had relied on each other for survival.
Feng Xian was Yue Guan's most beloved disciple, so it was alright for her to know some of Yue Guan's past. Besides, it involved Feng Xian's mother, Qin Lan, and she had the right to know.
Upon learning that the renowned Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had such a tragic youth, both Feng Xian and Zhu Zhuqing, who had already walked to Ye Qifeng's side and was leaning against him, couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised.
Ghostly glanced around at Ye Qifeng, Feng Xian, and his beloved disciple Zhu Zhuqing, his gaze finally settling on Feng Xian:
"When Yue Guan's older sister, Yue Fei, died unexpectedly, she was very young, about the same age as your mother, Qin Lan."
"Moreover, your mother has many similarities with Yue Guan's older sister, Yue Fei, such as her figure, personality, and even her behavior, including her love of cultivating flowers and plants, which are all remarkably similar."
"It can be said that, apart from their different appearances, your mother's many characteristics and habits are almost identical to Yueguan's older sister's."
"Now do you understand why Yue Guan was staring blankly at your mother's figure?"
After listening to the ghost's story, Feng Xian seemed to understand the cause and effect:
"So, the reason the teacher behaved this way is because, after spending so much time together, he discovered that his mother and his sister, who had died many years ago, had many things in common, and therefore he regarded his mother as his sister?"
The ghost nodded first, then shook its head:
"Well, you can't be sure. There might be other reasons too."
Feng Xian was stunned once again:
"what?"
Ye Qifeng looked up at the ghost, but his eyes held a strange glint. What did that mean? Could it be that the sullen and effeminate Juhua Guan had actually been straightened out by Fengxian's mother? Ah, no, weren't you and Yue Guan a couple?
Noticing Ye Qifeng's gaze, Gui Mei seemed to understand the hidden meaning in his eyes and quickly explained:
"Your Highness, Yue Guan and I are just partners, a pure friendship."
Because of the Spirit Fusion Skill, he and Yue Guan were often inseparable, leading the Spirit Hall and even the world to believe that there was some kind of relationship between them that went beyond friendship.
But it's not.
His relationship with Yue Guan was truly just a pure partnership, only slightly closer than that of blood brothers.
There could be something fishy going on between two big men, but he certainly doesn't have that kind of inclination.
If he hadn't died once, causing his martial soul to mutate and partially transform his body into a ghost, making it impossible for him to reproduce, he would have married and had children long ago. Why would he be all alone now?
If he had worked a little harder, he might have been a great-grandfather by now.
Although Yue Guan looks like a woman and behaves in a feminine manner, he is essentially a man and there is still a chance for him to be saved.
Hearing the ghost's explanation, Ye Qifeng was somewhat surprised, but he didn't say anything more.
Feng Xian seemed to have discerned an unusual meaning from the ghost's words. Could it be that the teacher's view of his mother was more than just that of a sister?

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After flying for most of the day, Sword Douluo, carrying Ning Rongrong, finally returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from the depths of Sunset Forest.
The Seven Kill Sword carried the two people and quickly descended from the sky, arriving directly in front of the Seven Treasures Hall.
Sword Douluo reached out and put his hand on Ning Rongrong's small shoulder, helping her land safely.
But the moment he landed, Sword Douluo lost his footing, his body swayed violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Grandpa Jian, what's wrong?"
Seeing Sword Douluo's body fall to the side, Ning Rongrong reacted quickly and reached out to support him.
"It's nothing, just that my soul power is a little depleted."
After unleashing his strongest killing move, Man and Sword as One, to clash with Golden Crocodile Douluo, Sword Douluo's soul power was nearly exhausted. If Ning Rongrong hadn't given him a soul power boost, restoring some of his soul power...
However, in order to ensure Ning Rongrong's safety and to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as soon as possible to explain the details and changes of this operation to Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo traveled at almost the maximum speed.
It was fortunate that the soul power restored by that slight increase was enough to sustain them in returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
However, overdrawing one's soul power will only lead to physical weakness and fatigue, not vomiting blood.
The large mouthful of blood that Sword Douluo spat out was an internal injury he suffered during his battle with Golden Crocodile Douluo. It was caused by the sudden outbreak of his internal injuries after his soul power was depleted and lost its suppressive effect.
Sword Douluo isn't like that scoundrel Tang Hao, who has gods secretly pulling strings behind his back. With the strength of a level 95 peak Super Douluo, how could he possibly win against a level 98 peak Super Douluo? Injury was inevitable.
And this was only because Golden Crocodile Douluo showed mercy.
After Sword Douluo was injured, apart from spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood on the spot, he has been holding back without spitting out any more. It is truly remarkable that he has been able to hold his breath until now.
He did all this so that Ning Rongrong wouldn't worry.
Just then, as if they heard the commotion outside, two figures, one in gray and one in white, suddenly darted out of the Seven Treasures Hall.
Two figures quickly arrived beside Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong.
"Uncle Jian, are you injured?"
The person asking the question had a handsome face, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a refined and gentle appearance. He wore a clean white robe that was spotless. He was Ning Fengzhi, the current sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Just as Sword Douluo was about to reply, an untimely voice suddenly rang out beside him:
"Hey, Swordsman, what happened to you? Why are you in such a sorry state? You look so disheveled!"
The person who spoke was tall and ugly, dressed in a gray robe. He was none other than Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, the guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Bone Douluo frowned deeply, clearly surprised and worried about Sword Douluo's condition.
He quickly reached out and placed his hand on Sword Douluo's arm, using his spiritual power to carefully examine him. After discovering that Sword Douluo was only weak due to the overexertion of his soul power and that his injuries were not actually that serious, his expression immediately relaxed.
But the words that came out of his mouth were filled with a strong sense of sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo immediately objected. Enduring the weakness from depleted soul power and the excruciating pain from internal injuries, he angrily retorted:
"Bullshit! If you're so capable, go and fight a level 98 peak Super Douluo! I'm sure you won't be much better off than me, no, with your pathetic state, you'll definitely be worse off than me."
Sword Douluo knew in his heart that he was still alive because Golden Crocodile Douluo had shown mercy out of consideration for his father.
If Gu Rong, who had no connection with him whatsoever, were to face him, he would probably be whipped to death by the other party's tail.
"What? You encountered a peak level 98 Super Douluo? And you even fought him?"
Bone Douluo was so surprised he almost jumped up, but quickly he froze, looking at Sword Douluo with a suspicious gaze:
"Wait, then how come you're still alive?"
Although I understand what Bone Douluo is asking, it just sounds so infuriating. What do you mean I'm not dead yet?
Sword Douluo was furious.
With a "pfft," another mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Father, Grandpa Bone, stop talking and hurry up and treat Grandpa Sword! Look, he's vomiting blood again."
Ning Rongrong, who was standing next to her, was extremely anxious.
Ning Fengzhi quickly raised his hand to stop Bone Douluo, who was about to ask more questions:
"Alright, Uncle Bone, don't ask anymore. Let's heal Uncle Sword first."
Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo temporarily stopped, but the words he uttered were still unpleasant:
"That's true, otherwise it wouldn't be good if he accidentally kicked the bucket."
Taking advantage of Sword Douluo's current state of being powerless and weak like a chicken, he wanted to seize every opportunity to mock him.
Afterwards, Bone Douluo took over from Ning Rongrong and, together with Ning Fengzhi, helped the furious Sword Douluo into the Seven Treasures Hall and settled him on a spacious couch there.
Then, Ning Fengzhi raised his hand and changed his martial soul.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, radiating a lustrous light, quietly appeared in the palm of his right hand, spun three times, and then floated away.
In an instant, the entire Seven Treasures Hall was filled with colorful light. The pagoda enlarged in the air and instantly transformed into a ten-meter-tall pagoda, floating in mid-air. Ning Fengzhi's body also shone with the same light as the pagoda, enveloping his entire body.
This is the true form of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's spirit—the Seven Treasures True Form.
Fortunately, the Seven Treasures Hall was magnificent enough to accommodate Ning Fengzhi's weapon spirit true body; otherwise, he might have pierced through the entire top of the hall.
After the Seven Treasures True Form was released, Ning Fengzhi's mind raced, and the sixth and fourth layers of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda simultaneously lit up, each releasing a colorful soul light that enveloped Sword Douluo.
At Ning Fengzhi's level, there is no need to chant soul incantations; with just a thought, one can directly release auxiliary soul skills.
He released two beams of soul light, one a healing beam and the other a beam of soul power amplification, which were exactly what Sword Douluo needed.
The healing light can heal the internal injuries of Sword Douluo, allowing his meridians and bones, which were shattered by Golden Crocodile Douluo, to heal rapidly.
The Soul Power Amplification Light can accelerate the recovery of Sword Douluo's Soul Power.
Ning Fengzhi's strength is not healing, but attribute enhancement, which is determined by the auxiliary properties of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
The healing light he released, compared to healing-type martial souls that specialize in healing, was not particularly strong.
But it's different when you add the light that amplifies soul power.
Under the continuous effect of the healing light and the soul power amplification light, Sword Douluo's injuries were healing at an astonishing speed, his soul power was gradually increasing, his depleted and weak body was gradually becoming strong, and his face was turning from pale to rosy.
Half an hour later.
Ning Fengzhi retrieved the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda and slowly exhaled.
Just then, Sword Douluo, whose complexion had returned to a rosy hue, whose injuries were almost completely healed, and whose soul power had recovered to one-tenth of its original level, opened his eyes.
"Hey, Sword Demon, you said you encountered a level 98 peak Super Douluo, what exactly happened?"
Before Ning Fengzhi and his daughter Ning Rongrong could speak, Bone Douluo, who had been waiting impatiently, spoke first.
"Get lost! You coward, do I need to tell you that? Kneel down and beg me!"
Sword Douluo's eyes flashed with sword light as he glanced at him sideways, his expression a mixture of disdain, contempt, and mockery.
"What do you mean? Do you want to fight?"
Bone Douluo's temper flared up instantly:
"Hey, you dare glare at me? Come on, come out here, I want to fight you for three hundred rounds."
Bone Douluo shouted as he made a move to walk out.
Heh, only a fool would fight you. My soul power has only recovered to one-tenth of its original level. Fighting you now would be pure torture.
Once my soul power is fully restored, I will definitely shred your rotten bones with a single sword strike.
Sword Douluo ignored him, turned to look at Ning Fengzhi beside him who was rubbing his forehead with a helpless expression, and his voice suddenly became serious:
"Fengzhi, we probably won't be able to get the things from Dugu Bo's herb garden."
Ning Fengzhi's expression hardened:
"What happened? Tell me in detail."
