Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 215 You've been hiding quite a lot, haven't you?
He looked at Bai Xi with some suspicion.

"Are you sure your grandfather is the best grandfather in the world?"

What grandfather would kill his own grandson? He'd want to kill them all!

Can he really be called the best grandfather in the world?
"You weren't bewitched by His Majesty the Demon Emperor, were you?"

Lin Xin finally voiced his bold suspicion.

Then she successfully earned two eye rolls, leaving Bai Xi speechless.

"If there were a potion to make you sleepy, I'd give it to you first."

There was a reason why Grandpa said that.

Long Haochen explained somewhat forlornly, thinking of the power contained within Haoyue's body.

"Moreover, he never intended to kill us."

In the end, Long Haochen told everyone the whole story about Austin Griffin, the god of divine retribution.

"I never expected that Haoyue, who looks so well-behaved, would have such a background..."

"Who says otherwise? I would never have imagined that Haoyue's body actually contains enough energy to destroy the world."

"But Haoyue is Haoyue, and Austin Griffin is Austin Griffin. Haoyue has never done anything bad, and it has even helped us a lot..."

They were also surprised by the origin of the bright moon, but they did not believe that the bright moon and Austin Griffin were one and the same.

"However, you've been hiding quite a few things, haven't you?"

Lin Xin stared at Bai Xi and Long Haochen with a wicked grin, approaching them step by step.

"Tell us quickly, what else are you hiding from us?"

"This is our last chance for you. If we find out next time, you'll be in big trouble."

"Say it!"

Several pairs of eyes were staring at them at the same time, making them feel quite uncomfortable.

"I really have no secrets left!"

Long Haochen immediately stated that he had confessed everything he needed to.

"I'll believe you for now. What about you?"

All eyes turned to Bai Xi again, the pressure intensified, and they felt even more uncomfortable.

"I do have something to tell you, but please don't be angry when I do."

"Don't be angry, we'd be angry if you didn't say anything."

However, just as Bai Xi was about to speak, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

It turned out that Palace Master Qiu had something to discuss with them.

Prince Qiu wanted to see Wang Yuanyuan, Bai Xi, and Long Haochen. Unexpectedly, they were all whispering in one room, making it quite a search for the people he had sent!

"What business does Palace Master Qiu have with us?"

Bai Xi was a little confused. Hadn't she already said what she needed to say when she returned to the palace yesterday?

"They're probably mainly looking for me. I forgot, after I came out of the secret realm, I was supposed to go see the Palace Master. But as soon as I left the secret realm, Hao Chen called me over."

Wang Yuanyuan patted her head, indicating that she had forgotten something.

However, the reason why Palace Master Qiu sought out Wang Yuanyuan was indeed to inquire about the gains from the secret realm.

But even after summoning Bai Xi and Long Haochen, he still harbored ulterior motives, wanting to trick one of them into becoming the temple master of the Warrior Temple.

“Lord Qiu, I am a member of the Knight Temple and have already been chosen as the successor to the position of the next Lord of the Knight Temple. I really cannot inherit the position of Lord of the Warrior Temple.”

Long Haochen naturally refused, and his reasons were quite valid. Bai Xi's reasons were even simpler and more valid.

"Why don't you go and ask Alliance Leader Yang if he agrees?"

Knowing that there was no hope with Bai Xi, Palace Master Qiu turned his attention to Long Haochen.

"Look, it's not impossible for one person to serve as the master of two halls!"

"Furthermore, I heard you need one million merit points to leave the Southeast Fortress. You see, while your performance this time was excellent, how excellent is up to my assessment..."

As he spoke, Palace Master Qiu gave Long Haochen a knowing look.

"Moreover, Wang Yuanyuan is the most outstanding young person in our Warrior Temple, and the only descendant of the Giant Spirit God. We can't just leave with you like this!"

"Only the Temple Master can bring such a genius out of the Warrior Temple!"

They've gone to any lengths to keep Long Haochen as the palace master.

"Palace Master Qiu, why are you doing this? Yuan Yuan is already very outstanding; she is more than capable of upholding the honor of the Warrior Temple."

Bai Xi frowned, not understanding why Palace Master Qiu couldn't see Wang Yuanyuan's stubborn choice of Long Haochen.

If the intention is to make the sword warrior the temple master, then Wang Yuanyuan's ancestors were shield warriors, who had also served as temple masters!

Could it be that he looks down on women?

"This is because, while they, the descendants of the giant spirit god, possess immense power, they also have a significant weakness that cannot be ignored."

Palace Master Qiu understood Bai Xi's meaning, looked at Wang Yuanyuan, shook his head, and gave a wry smile.

He originally wanted Wang Yuanyuan to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he still felt that Wang Yuanyuan should know about this.

"Descendants of the Giant Spirit God are prone to impulsiveness and loss of control..."

"If your grandfather or father had been able to control his emotions and his strength, he might not have died so young."

"Descendants of the Giant Spirit God can use secret techniques at the cost of their lifespan to temporarily gain divine possession from the Giant Spirit God, greatly increasing their strength. However, after this, their lifespan will be exhausted and they will perish."

"Your father, your grandfather, and your ancestors almost all perished in this way."

Wang Yuanyuan was shocked to hear this.

Because she knew nothing about these things, and she didn't know about the so-called secret technique either.

"I... I don't know any so-called secret techniques!"

"You don't know? Maybe they didn't teach you and want you to avoid this path."

Palace Master Qiu immediately understood what was going on. As long as Wang Yuanyuan didn't use it, she wouldn't have to use secret techniques in the future to defend the city and protect her comrades.

In reality, none of them needed to die, but in their bloodlust, they chose to sacrifice themselves to protect millions.

"It's fine if you don't know it; it's best not to know it at all."

Only after hearing that Wang Yuanyuan did not know this secret technique did Palace Master Qiu breathe a sigh of relief.

"Now that you've shown me this, I can finally feel at ease handing over the position of Temple Master to you. Even if you suddenly learn something new, don't use it. Remember to be patient and don't risk your life recklessly. We've been changing Temple Masters of the Warrior's Temple a bit too often..."

"You are the last bloodline of the Giant Spirit God, and also the most talented one. As long as you live well, you might become a god one day."

"Don't listen to that talk about the Palace Master living and dying with the pass. Just pretend it never happened. You are very important..."

How afraid that Palace Master Qiu is of Wang Yuanyuan's premature demise! He sees the shadow of Palace Master Li in him.

Just then, a large flock of birds flew over from outside the palace, and Bai Xi, who had a close relationship with the birds, immediately changed her expression.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

This is a personal interpretation.

I don't understand why, in the original novel and the anime, Wang Yuanyuan was clearly chosen as the successor, but Long Haochen put her aside as soon as he saw her.
