Chapter 180: Meng Yiran's Disgust, Meeting Meng Shu
When Su Yun encountered Meng Yiran, she was being pursued by a millennial humanoid demon spider.
Thus, with a willingness to help, Su Yun took action with his spear, piercing through the humanoid demon spider.
"Ha...ha...thank you for saving me." Meng Yiran, leaning against a rock and gasping for breath, thanked Su Yun.
"No need to thank me." Su Yun shook his head, his gaze shifting left and right, looking to see if Dragon Lord Meng Shu and Snake Granny were nearby.
Su Yun could tell that Meng Yiran's soul power was still at level thirty, clearly indicating she hadn't found a suitable soul ring.
In the original story, to find a soul ring for Meng Yiran, both Dragon Lord and Snake Granny had taken action.
However, considering Meng Yiran's current state, it seemed Dragon Lord and Snake Granny were not nearby? Had they really felt comfortable letting Meng Yiran wander alone?
In fact,
Meng Yiran had come to the Star Dou Great Forest with her grandfather's caravan.
However, like Ning Rongrong, being pampered in her family, she was curious about the outside world but clueless about handling sudden situations, especially in the soul beast forest.
Today, while following her family's carriage tracks, she was unintentionally blocked by a group of century-old soul beasts.
With her thirty-level soul power, handling these century-old soul beasts was naturally easy.
"My name is Meng Yiran. What's yours, benefactor?" Meng Yiran, having recovered a bit, asked Su Yun.
"I am Su Yun," Su Yun replied.
What?
Su Yun?!
Upon hearing Su Yun's name, Dugu Yan's pupils shrank suddenly.
Dugu Yan remembered that one night at the table, Haotian Douluo had mentioned that the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, had taken a new disciple named Su Yun.
And he also said Su Yun was highly talented, young, but his soul power had already reached the level of a Soul King.
The spear thrust by Su Yun just now was witnessed by Dugu Yan.
A millennial humanoid demon spider was directly killed by Su Yun with a spear!
This was enough to prove his identity!
Thinking of Tang Hao's broken arms and legs, the gratitude Meng Yiran felt towards Su Yun instantly vanished, turning into disgust.
Meng Yiran herself had no good feelings towards the Spirit Hall, and with what happened to Tang Hao a few days ago, her attitude towards the Spirit Hall could be described as deeply detesting.
Meng Yiran wished she could kill Su Yun to avenge Tang Hao, but considering his youth and the strength of a Soul King, along with the image of the humanoid demon spider's gruesome death replaying in her mind, she couldn't help but turn pale.
How could there be such a monstrous person?
According to Uncle Tang, this guy should be only about twelve years old, right?
A twelve-year-old Soul King?
Meng Yiran felt she must lure Su Yun to her grandfather and Uncle Tang to deal with him!
No, he shouldn't be killed so easily!
He must endure the pain that Uncle Tang had suffered!
Meng Yiran thought so, but her face was replaced with a smile: "Thank you, Su Yun."
Su Yun naturally pretended not to know Meng Yiran and asked, "I wonder why Miss Meng is here alone?"
He wanted to probe for information about the Meng family and see if there was a chance to bring Dragon Lord and Snake Granny into the Spirit Hall's influence.
Meng Yiran planned to stabilize Su Yun, so she said, "I sneaked out when my family wasn't paying attention, and then I encountered a soul beast..."
Hearing Meng Yiran's words, Su Yun understood that the Meng family had arranged a trade caravan, and Meng Yiran had secretly followed.
Thus, the "hero saves the beauty" scene just occurred.
"What do you plan to do now?" Su Yun asked.
"Of course, find my grandfather."
As they spoke, Meng Yiran suddenly looked at Su Yun and said, "Su Yun, why don't you come with me to find my grandfather?"
"There are many soul beasts in this Star Dou Great Forest, and I probably can't handle them alone. With you, we can definitely find my grandfather much sooner."
"Moreover, my grandfather is the legendary Dragon Lord Meng Shu. You saved me this time, and I will definitely have my grandfather reward you generously."
Seeing Meng Yiran blinking her big eyes, Su Yun was stunned.
He hadn't expected to propose traveling together, but she had already suggested it first.
"Dragon Lord Meng Shu?!"
Then, Su Yun pretended to be surprised and said, "Dragon Lord Meng Shu is your grandfather?"
"Of course!"
Proudly mentioning her grandfather, Meng Yiran was naturally very proud.
She cheerfully said, "As long as you can safely bring me to my grandfather, you can have anything you want."
"Even if it's asking my grandfather to help you hunt for a soul ring."
Su Yun shook his head and said, "I dare not ask for a reward, just hoping Miss Meng can introduce me to Dragon Lord at that time."
Wanting to meet Dragon Lord, going through Meng Yiran was naturally the best way.
Hearing Su Yun's words, Meng Yiran couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
Humph!
Typical of the Spirit Hall Pope's disciple, already thinking about contacting my grandfather.
"You must have been planning to act against our family forces for a long time, haven't you?"
Meng Yiran kept her dissatisfaction hidden, maintaining a smiling face as she replied, "Of course, I see we're about the same age, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
"Su Yun, are you also from another noble family or sect?"
Su Yun thought he shouldn't reveal his identity to Meng Yiran yet, so he disguised his answer: "I'm just an independent cultivator, not affiliated with any soul master forces."
Humph!
Definitely a Spirit Hall person!
Speaking lies without a change in expression!
Meng Yiran inwardly scorned Su Yun thoroughly but kept a smiling face, saying, "Then you're really impressive."
After some small talk, Su Yun asked, "Miss Meng, how do you plan to find your family's caravan now? There are no tracks to be seen here."
Meng Yiran smiled, "I have my ways, just follow me closely."
"I originally didn't want my grandfather to find out, so I've always been at a distance he just can't sense."
"Plus, with the soul beasts in Star Dou Great Forest causing interference, that's why I got lost."
"Now with you by my side for protection, it should take about three days for us to catch up with them."
The Meng family's caravan trip was a mix of feints and real moves, so they would surely rest at some location.
Being the granddaughter of Dragon Lord Meng Shu, Meng Yiran knew these resting spots well.
Seeing Meng Yiran's confidence, Su Yun didn't say much more: "In that case, I'll have to trouble Miss Meng."
Meng Yiran still wore a smile, "No, no, the trouble is mine."
During the next three days, Su Yun protected Meng Yiran from soul beasts while searching for Meng Shu and others' caravan.
Along the way, Su Yun also helped Meng Yiran acquire a millennium snake soul ring, elevating her soul power from level thirty to thirty-one.
"Su Yun, look!"
"These are the tracks of my family's carriage!"
"My grandfather must be ahead!" Meng Yiran suddenly tugged at Su Yun's sleeve, pointing at the tracks on the ground.
Indeed, Su Yun saw that the tracks on the ground were clearer, seemingly left yesterday.
It was noon, and Su Yun and Meng Yiran had not ventured deep into Star Dou Great Forest but had circled around and came out.
"It seems my grandfather and the others stayed here last night. I wonder if they've left." Meng Yiran felt somewhat anxious.
She hoped her grandfather and the others hadn't left yet.
This way, they could catch Su Yun in the small town ahead where they were resting.
"Then let's hurry up, maybe they haven't left yet," Su Yun suggested.
Meng Yiran nodded slightly, and the two immediately headed towards the town.
The town was located in the southern part of the Tiandou Empire.
Entering the town, they saw many residents.
But Meng Yiran didn't let these people delay her for long, heading straight for a hotel in town.
Meng Yiran was very familiar with this town.
Before long, she saw a familiar carriage.
Meng Yiran's eyes brightened, excitedly saying, "Great, my grandfather and the others haven't left."
"Su Yun, let's go see my grandfather together?"
Meng Yiran's eyes were full of smiles, showing no flaws as she looked at Su Yun.
Su Yun nodded slightly, following her into the hotel.
Upon entering, the Meng family caravan members immediately noticed Meng Yiran.
"Miss!"
Meng Yiran quickly signaled them to be quiet, whispering, "Keep it down."
"I'm bringing my lifesaver to see my grandfather, and I want to surprise him."
Seeing Su Yun beside Meng Yiran, they noticed his handsome appearance.
Could the miss have taken a liking to this young man?
"Quick, which room is my grandfather in?" Meng Yiran asked a guard.
The guard glanced at Su Yun and replied, "The master is currently with a distinguished guest in the second room on the top floor, Miss, please proceed."
"But Miss, the distinguished guest cannot meet outsiders..."
Meng Yiran naturally knew she couldn't let Su Yun see Tang Hao.
She turned to Su Yun, apologizing, "Su Yun, please wait downstairs for a while. I'll go up and see my grandfather first."
Su Yun didn't take the guard's words to heart.
Since they mentioned a distinguished guest, it was understandable not to let him meet them.
"Alright." Su Yun found a seat and sat down.
Seeing Su Yun seated, Meng Yiran immediately rushed to the third floor, seemingly eager.
Su Yun poured himself a cup of tea and waited a bit before catching a glimpse of Meng Yiran coming down from the third floor.
Beside Meng Yiran was an elderly man with graying beard.
Su Yun recognized the man immediately; his appearance matched the descriptions in the original story.
Dragon Lord, Meng Shu.
