Chapter 70 The Rouge Demon Dragon Nan Qiuqiu
Nan Shuishui led Huo Yuhao and Su Tong through the spacious courtyard to the reception room of the Earth Dragon Gate.
After serving hot tea, the servant bowed his head and left.
Nan Shuishui cut to the chase: "May I ask what brings Viscount Qinglong to my Dragon Gate this time?"
Huo Yuhao put down his teacup and said directly, "Senior, the reason I came here is to invite Miss Nan Qiuqiu to join the Azure Dragon Guard."
Sure enough.
The Earth Dragon Sect possesses a unique skill passed down from its first sect leader a thousand years ago, which allows one to discern a person's character through their facial features.
Just now, Nan Shuishui had carefully observed Huo Yuhao and Su Tong at the door.
Huo Yuhao and Su Tong are both upright and righteous; this cannot be faked.
However, the murderous aura between their brows was so intense that even a Soul Douluo like Nan Shuishui was secretly alarmed.
Nan Shuishui recalled all the rumors about Huo Yuhao and Su Tong over the past three months.
Yu Longtu's son, Yu Tianlong, is an extremely domineering thunder dragon. In the battle to exterminate evil soul masters, he often chooses to kill the ringleaders and then hand over the offending sects to the Heavenly Soul Enforcement Team for processing.
But Huo Yuhao was different.
Any sect confirmed to be colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult, regardless of the reason, will be exterminated.
I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
If Huo Yuhao is the Azure Dragon, then Su Tong is known as the Azure Maiden.
A light, blood-red silk skirt with folds, her black hair as white as snow covered in frost.
Qingnu, she is a legendary goddess of frost and snow, whose existence is unknown.
Looking at the two young men in front of her, Nan Shuishui's thoughts were churning.
She was not surprised by their invitation; in fact, she felt quite proud.
The reputation of the Azure Dragon Guard has spread throughout the Heavenly Soul in the past few months, surpassing the other Heavenly Body Guards and being known as the number one guard in the Heavenly Soul.
The fact that Nan Qiuqiu was personally invited by Huo Yuhao shows that her talent has indeed been recognized.
But the question is, is Nan Qiuqiu really suitable to join the Azure Dragon Guard?
As Nan Qiuqiu's mother, Nan Shuishui knows this little princess, who has been spoiled by her and the entire Dilongmen, all too well.
In Longcheng, Nan Qiuqiu has a nickname: Rouge Demon Dragon.
The word "demon" refers both to the strange and powerful nature of the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul and to Nan Qiuqiu's willful, capricious, and self-willed personality.
Nan Qiuqiu is exceptionally talented, but she is arrogant, impulsive, and clearly lacks experience.
Although Nan Shuishui intended to train her daughter, she was afraid.
She was afraid that Nan Qiuqiu would be overwhelmed by Huo Yuhao and Su Tong, and thus lose her self-confidence.
Not only that, Nan Shuishui was even more afraid that Nan Qiuqiu would encounter the person who had fallen into evil spirit master years ago.
Nan Shui Shui's fingertips traced the shape of her teacup as she asked Huo Yuhao, "Viscount Qinglong, how many members does the Qinglong Guard have now?"
Huo Yuhao said, "The official members are just Su Tong and me. In the future, the young master of the Jade City Lord's family may also join."
Nan Shuishui was taken aback.
Nan Shuishui was not surprised that Yu Tianlong might join the Azure Dragon Guard.
Yu Longtu was an official, so it was perfectly normal for him to pave the way for his son's future early.
However, she did not expect that Jiang Peng, who was known as Blood Axe Shaking the Sky, had not joined the Azure Dragon Guard.
That was a Soul Emperor who was not even twenty years old.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, a look of joy immediately appeared in Nan Qiuqiu's eyes.
Even Soul Emperors cannot join the Azure Dragon Guard, yet now the captain has personally come to invite her, a Soul Venerable.
This made Nan Qiuqiu straighten her back, her long pink hair swaying slightly, and she felt secretly pleased with herself.
However, Nan Shuishui's brows furrowed even deeper.
If Nan Qiuqiu joins the Azure Dragon Guard, it means that she will become a primary force in the future to confront evil spirit masters.
Deep down, Nan Shuishui harbors a secret.
That was when she was young, her husband had a rival in love. Later, because she married her husband, she fell into the trap of becoming an evil spirit master in a fit of anger.
Although the person later completely disappeared and his fate was unknown, Nan Shuishui always remembered the look in his eyes when he left.
She worried that one day, that person would come back, and what would Nan Qiuqiu do then?
I will definitely become a thorn in that person's side!
It was precisely for this reason that she did not allow Nan Qiuqiu to participate in the battle to exterminate the evil spirits, but instead assigned the saber-toothed earth dragon Xu Shenshu, the wind dragon Feng Jue, and the night dragon Xiao Ye to accompany the elders of the Earth Dragon Gate to go out and scavenge for scraps.
"Viscount Qinglong," Nan Shuishui carefully chose her words, "Qiuqiu's aptitude is acceptable, but her personality is truly unruly."
"I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to the strict requirements of the Azure Dragon Guard."
"Mom!" Nan Qiuqiu pouted immediately, "How could you say that to me!"
Nan Shuishui immediately glared at her, signaling her to be quiet.
This was the first time Nan Qiuqiu had seen her mother look at her like that. Although she was extremely dissatisfied, she still reluctantly shut her mouth.
However, a defiant glint still shone in her bright eyes.
Yu Tianlong's reputation has been rising rapidly in recent times, which has long made Nan Qiuqiu feel resentful.
Now that she has the opportunity to join the Azure Dragon Guard before him, how could Nan Qiuqiu give it up so easily?
Su Tong then spoke gently, "Senior, we value Qiuqiu's talent and potential very much."
"Qiuqiu's Rouge Dragon Martial Soul is a rare annihilation attribute, which has a strong restraining effect on evil soul masters."
"As for her personality, I believe that she will grow even faster through the experience of being in the team."
Su Tong's voice was extremely sincere: "Every member of the Azure Dragon Guard is our partner. We will look after each other and will never let anyone face danger alone."
Nan Shuishui's gaze shifted between Huo Yuhao and Su Tong.
She could sense the sincerity in their words, but as a mother, she still found it difficult to let go of her concerns.
"mom!"
Nan Qiuqiu couldn't hold back any longer: "I want to join the Azure Dragon Guard!"
"That Yu Tianlong guy has always been one step ahead of me. Now that I've finally managed to get ahead of him, I don't want him to laugh at me!"
"Do you want Earth Dragon Gate to never be able to compare to Heaven Dragon Gate?!"
Nan Shuishui was about to reprimand Nan Qiuqiu for her rudeness when Huo Yuhao raised his hand to signal her.
"Senior," Huo Yuhao said calmly, "I understand your concerns."
"But if I may be frank, Dragon City isn't truly safe either."
Then, Huo Yuhao recounted everything about the Poison Dragon Gate.
Nan Shuishui's expression gradually turned serious.
She never expected that right under Longcheng's nose, there was actually a stronghold of evil spirit masters hidden there.
Huo Yuhao continued, "Senior, the evil soul masters have infiltrated various parts of the continent. Although this extermination campaign has wiped out all their strongholds, it has not touched the true core power of the Holy Spirit Cult."
"Instead of passively waiting for danger to strike, it would be better to let Miss Qiuqiu join the Azure Dragon Guard and grow up in a controlled environment."
"As long as I, the Ice Dragon, am still here, I will never let the Crimson Dragon be in a hopeless situation."
After hearing the story of Huo Yuhao burying the Poison Dragon Gate alive, Nan Qiuqiu was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she was filled with excitement.
"Mom! Did you hear me?!"
"He wiped out the Poison Dragon Sect! I want to join!"
Nan Shuishui was torn between her inner thoughts and her own conscience.
After a long while, she sighed and said, "Never mind."
She looked at Huo Yuhao and said solemnly, "Viscount Qinglong, I'm entrusting Qiuqiu to you."
"If she acts willfully or unruly, then you should certainly discipline her!"
Huo Yuhao clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I dare not let you down, senior."
Nan Qiuqiu had no idea what kind of situation Nan Shuishui's words would put her in in the future.
She jumped up excitedly: "Great! I finally beat that Yu Tianlong guy to it!"
Nan Qiuqiu approached Huo Yuhao with a grin: "Captain!"
"Now that it's just the three of us, is it possible for me to become the vice-captain, Dangdang?"
"After all, everyone knows that a team has one captain and two vice-captains."
Huo Yuhao understood her intention to control Yu Tianlong.
He and Su Tong exchanged a glance, then he smiled and said, "Okay, but you have to pass the test first."
Nan Qiuqiu said confidently, "Bring it on!"
Su Tong gently put down her teacup and stood up: "I am the deputy captain of the Azure Dragon Guard."
"If you draw with me, you'll be the second vice-captain."
Nan Qiuqiu, full of fighting spirit, said, "Okay!"
Huo Yuhao's Azure Sky Ice Dragon has already made a name for itself.
Aside from his extreme ice abilities, his physical attributes, which can be described as freakish, are simply unmatched by other Soul Masters of the same age.
But Su Tong is different.
Nan Qiuqiu had heard that although this Qing Nu was powerful, almost all of her abilities were focused on controlling ice and snow elements.
The Rouge Dragon, possessing the annihilation attribute, is practically her nemesis.
Even though she might be powerless against the ultimate attributes, Nan Qiuqiu still believes that she has the strength to fight!
Looking at the confident Nan Qiuqiu, Nan Shuishui shook her head almost imperceptibly.
This child has been spoiled too much and is a bit too naive.
