Douluo Continent: The Golden List is Revealed, and the Holy Spirit Puni Subdues Evil Spirits

Chapter 19 Qian Daoliu: I'm at ease leaving the Spirit Hall and Xiaoxue in your care.

Enshrined in the temple.

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Tian with concern in his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Your skills have improved so rapidly in these twenty-three years. You must have suffered a lot outside, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian smiled faintly, his tone relaxed.

"It's alright, it's not too bad."

After all, his twenty-three years of seclusion were a state of complete isolation from the world.

The noise of the outside world and the passage of time are all blurry to him.

The long twenty-three years seemed to pass in the blink of an eye during the silence of seclusion.

Although the cultivation process is tedious, there is no hardship or risk involved in traveling, so there is no question of "enduring hardship".

Qian Daoliu nodded knowingly and echoed with a faint smile.
"That's true. With Xiaotian's talent, cultivation is as easy as drinking water for him."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue, who was standing to the side, immediately showed a hint of childish jealousy on her delicate face.

She pouted her red lips, with a hint of coquettish complaint.

"Hmph! As soon as Brother Lin Tian came back, Grandpa's heart was filled with nothing but Brother Lin Tian!"

Qian Daoliu turned to look at his granddaughter, his eyes instantly filled with affection. He raised his hand and gently stroked her soft, silvery hair, and smiled.

"Haha, isn't it because I haven't seen Xiaotian for twenty-three years?"

"Besides, some figures are gone once you see them, and I don't feel at ease unless I look at them a few more times."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tian frowned slightly.

He knew it in his heart.

According to the timeline, Qian Renxue's seventh test should have been successfully completed, and tomorrow will be the crucial eighth test.

The eighth test involved judging three people.

The last person was Qian Daoliu, who had devoted his life to his granddaughter and himself.

He will voluntarily accept the trial, transforming into golden light to open the door to the ninth trial for Qian Renxue.

Thinking of this, Lin Tian felt a sense of heaviness in his heart.

Qian Renxue, however, was completely unaware of the deeper meaning and continued to refute with a bewildered expression.

"What did Grandpa say?"

"Brother Lin Tian is so young. With Grandpa's strength, he could easily live for several more decades!"

Qian Daoliu didn't explain, he just smiled and shook his head, then looked at Lin Tian.

Let's go out and look at the moon together.

Qian Renxue and Lin Tian both nodded in agreement.

The three of them walked side by side to the long corridor outside the hall.

The full moon shines brightly in the night sky, casting its gentle light across the heavens, and occasionally, dazzling fireworks explode on the horizon.

The interplay of sunlight and moonlight cast an exceptionally serene glow upon the three figures.

They remained silent in tacit agreement, letting the evening breeze caress their clothes, shutting out the surrounding noise and enjoying this rare tranquility.

After an unknown amount of time, Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on Qian Renxue, and he said softly.

"Xiaoxue, go wait over there for a while. I have something to say to Xiaotian."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately puffed out her cheeks and snorted with dissatisfaction.

"Hmph! Grandpa is so mean. Is there anything Xiaoxue can't know?"

As Qian Daoliu gazed at his granddaughter's charming appearance, a barely perceptible hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

He was afraid that if he spoke now, it would affect Xiaoxue's eighth exam.

"You'll find out tomorrow what Lin Tian and I are about to discuss; it's of great importance."

Although Qian Renxue was full of doubts, seeing her grandfather's serious expression, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"All right!"

After saying that, he turned around and sat down on the swing two hundred meters away.

Only Qian Daoliu and Lin Tian remained in the corridor. Qian Daoliu's expression gradually became serious, and he spoke.

"Lin Tian, ​​now that you have begun the Creator God Trial, there are some things you should know!"

"Xiaoxue also has her own assessment, which is the Angel God Assessment."

He paused, his voice lowering slightly.

"The eighth exam will begin tomorrow, around the time of Minor Snow!"

"After the eighth test is completed, I will sacrifice myself to begin the ninth test for her."

Lin Tian remained silent and did not speak.

He had anticipated this, but didn't know how to respond.

Qian Daoliu continued.

"I'm telling you all this because I want to entrust the Spirit Hall to you!"

"In tomorrow's Battle of Jialing Pass, all six Grand Masters will be at your command!"

"You will be the new Grand Elder, ruling over the three halls, and leading the Spirit Hall to greatness!"

He looked at Lin Tian.

"Are you confident in defeating them?" Lin Tian raised his eyes, looking towards the distant Jialing Pass, a hint of pride and confidence flashing in his eyes.

"Even with a thousand troops, it's just a matter of one or two moves!"

Qian Daoliu laughed loudly, his eyes full of approval.

"Good! With you saying that, I'm relieved."

As the laughter subsided, his tone became more serious.

"After I'm gone, the only thing I won't be able to let go of is my granddaughter!"

"She is straightforward and easily swayed by emotions, which is a fatal weakness in a world where the strong rule, and will ultimately only harm her."

He looked at Lin Tian.

"After I'm gone, please take good care of her and keep an eye on things for her when it matters most!"

"If you two are truly in love, I have no objection to her becoming your wife!"

"The final decision rests with you."

Lin Tian nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, teacher, I understand."

"One more thing."

Qian Daoliu changed the subject abruptly, his eyes sharpening.

"If Bibi Dong were to attack you, what would you do?"

Lin Tian did not hesitate at all; his tone was calm but resolute.

"Kill of course!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

"That's right, I knew I was right about you!"

"I'm afraid you'll go easy on her because of Xiaoxue."

"I have my bottom line."

Lin Tian's tone was firm.

"Keeping her around is like hiding a knife behind your back that could be drawn at any moment; you'll get stabbed sooner or later."

Qian Daoliu patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of approval.

"It's good that you can stay clear-headed at all times and not be swayed by emotions."

He turned to look at the full moon on the horizon and sighed softly.

"I thought I would never see you again before I left."

"To be able to see you one more time is the perfect ending for us, master and disciple!"

After saying that, he called out towards the swing.

"Xiaoxue, come here."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately jumped off the swing, ran over quickly, and asked curiously.

"Are you done?"

Qian Daoliu nodded, stretched out his hands, one holding Lin Tian and the other holding Qian Renxue.

Then they put their hands together.

Lin Tian and Qian Renxue were both stunned. The moment their palms touched, Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed red.

He instinctively tried to pull his hand back, but Qian Daoliu gently pressed it down.

"Xiaoxue, if one day I'm gone, Xiaotian will be the person you trust most!"

"You two need to support each other. You should listen to Xiaotian's words and not be willful."

Qian Daoliu's voice was more serious than ever before, his eyes filled with worry and expectation for his granddaughter.

A sense of unease welled up in Qian Renxue's heart, and she asked in confusion.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you today? What's gone? Don't scare me."

Qian Daoliu did not answer, but only increased the pressure on his hand and repeated.

"Remember what Grandpa said, did you hear me?"

Qian Renxue looked at the solemnity in her grandfather's eyes, and although she was full of doubts, she nodded.

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Tian with a deep gaze.

"She is now in your hands. Don't disappoint me. And the Spirit Hall as well!"

"I will."

Lin Tian nodded emphatically, his tone carrying a sense of promise.

Qian Daoliu then looked at Qian Renxue.

"Let's go back and prepare for tomorrow's assessment."

Qian Renxue still looked puzzled, but she obediently nodded and followed Qian Daoliu into the hall.

Watching the two figures depart, Lin Tian slowly bowed, his voice so soft that only he could hear it.

Goodbye, teacher.

This aspect is eternity.
