Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 40 The Attitude of the Offering Hall

After Serpent Spear Douluo left, the others in the Hall of Worship came out.

"Big brother, what happened?"

The speaker was an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in a golden robe and silver embroidered attire, whose strength was as high as level ninety-eight, known as the Golden Crocodile Douluo.

With short, dark blue hair, smoky blue eyes, sky-blue bangs, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, he was a handsome and powerful Qingluan Douluo with a soul power of level ninety-seven, wearing a blue-green robe.

He was a lion-like Douluo dressed in golden armor and a red robe, with a strong and robust physique and orange beard and hair, and a soul power of level ninety-six.

A figure resembling a young boy, with his left eye covered in ice and snow, long silver hair, and left arm formed from his martial soul energy in an ice-like shape, dressed in a light gray robe, was the Light Feather Douluo, with a soul power level of ninety-six.

A handsome, tall man with a black bun hairstyle, gray-blue eyes, and a scar on his right eye, wearing golden armor, a purple robe, and a purple headscarf, was the Thousand-Pound Douluo, with a soul power of level ninety-six.

"Take a look for yourselves." Qian Daoliu handed the letter to Golden Crocodile Douluo.

After Golden Crocodile Douluo received the letter, the other retainers stepped forward one after another.

"Big brother, so you told the young master the truth?" Everyone asked after reading the letter.

All the enshrined monks knew about Qian Renxue's birth, and they would usually avoid mentioning it in front of her.

"Sigh, I didn't want to either, but she's probably already guessed it after asking so many questions. She's just writing to me to confirm the facts," Qian Daoliu said helplessly.

"Furthermore, she couldn't possibly know so much on her own; there must be others pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"Do you guys remember that kid who asked us to keep the news under wraps last time?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"Big brother, are you talking about that kid named Xiao Yi?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.

"That's right, it was mostly his idea to write the letter to Xiaoxue this time. She Long even went to the Papal Palace before he came here," Qian Daoliu said.

"I remember the young lady was trying to recruit him. His second spirit ring was a thousand years old, his third spirit ring was seven thousand years old, and his fourth spirit ring was twenty thousand years old. This letter mentioned that he has now broken through to the Soul King level."

Although the spirit rings are amazing, he's just a spirit king who hasn't fully absorbed them. You know, a genius who hasn't grown up is nothing, and he might die on the way someday.

"I am the Demon Slayer," said the Demon Slayer casually, his little finger still picking at his ear.

The offerings are: ...

"Seventh Brother! Calm down! You're acting like a revered elder!"

"Qianjun Douluo said sternly."

"I know, I know," the Demon-Slaying Douluo said, straightening his posture after hearing his elder brother's words.

"Sixth Brother, what do you think?" Golden Crocodile Douluo knew that Demon Subduing Douluo was only reliable in fighting, and not in other matters, so he decided to ask Thousand Jun Douluo instead.

"Hmm—I think we need to observe further. If Miss can take this child under her wing, it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to offer our assistance."

"Moreover, this kid has already grown up. He will become a Soul King after absorbing the Soul Ring. Furthermore, a genius like him certainly doesn't want to be subordinate to anyone. Now that he has Dugu Bo backing him up, all that's missing is a team to form a force. I don't think Miss will necessarily subdue him. She probably wants to create her own force. If possible, give him a little help. It won't do us any harm once his force is established."

Qianjun Douluo remained calm and composed, prioritizing the overall situation; his approach was currently the most perfect: respond to all changes with constancy.

After listening to Qian Jun Douluo's words, Qian Daoliu felt that they made sense. After all, Qian Renxue had a good eye. A level 50 at the age of fourteen had great talent. If he hadn't subdued him, he shouldn't be treated as an enemy. Moreover, it seemed that Xiao Xue was very interested in this boy named Xiao Yi. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked them to block information.

"Let's leave it at that then. Let's observe for now," Qian Daoliu said.

All the enshrined monks returned to their respective cultivation places, while Qian Daoliu flew to the Heavenly Dou Empire. In any case, he was already level ninety-nine, and there was no possibility of further progress after going into seclusion. Staying in the Hall of Enshrined Monks for too long without moving around would cause his bones to rust.

As a Limit Douluo, he was very fast, and he arrived at Heaven Dou City in less than two days.

Three days have passed since Serpent Spear Douluo returned, and Qian Renxue has adjusted her mindset.

Tian Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.

After a long day of work, Master Xue finally got off work. Dealing with state affairs was really tiring. After eliminating two princes in succession, she, as the crown prince, had too much to handle.

"Young Master, the Grand Elder has arrived. He has something to discuss with you and is waiting for you in the secret chamber."

A voice transmission entered Qian Renxue's ear, startling her. "Grandpa's here? Is something wrong?"

Qian Renxue went directly to the secret chamber she had built, the most secluded place in the Crown Prince's residence, where she cultivated, relaxed, and handled important matters.

Enter the secret room.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Qian Renxue immediately reverted to her original form, grabbing Qian Daoliu's hand and shaking it.

Qian Renxue was pleasantly surprised to see Qian Daoliu. After all, she had only seen him a few times a year since he came to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire, and going back rashly might expose her identity.

"Hehe, Grandpa just missed you. I wanted to see how my little Xue was doing. Sigh, you look so tired. If you're too tired, just go back to the main hall. The plan to steal the country is really unnecessary."

"No, Grandpa, Xue'er isn't the type to give up halfway. I'm sure I can do it. By the way, Grandpa, is there something you need?"

Qian Renxue asked with a puzzled look.

"It's like this, last time you blocked information about a prodigy, right? This is how our Hall of Offerings sees it..."

Then Qian Daoliu shared his views on the Hall of Worship and his own thoughts.

"Xiaoxue, Xiao Yi isn't so easy to subdue. I think he'll create his own power in the future. If possible, it would be best if you could become lovers, or at least good friends," Qian Daoliu said to Qian Renxue.

On the way here, Qian Daoliu was also pondering how to handle Xiao Yi's situation. The best solution, he concluded, was for them to become husband and wife. In his eyes, Qian Renxue was destined to become a god, while he was a servant of the Angel God. If Qian Renxue were to inherit the Angel Godhood, he would need to make a sacrifice. As a servant, he could sense that Bibi Dong also possessed a divine inheritance, specifically the Rakshasa God, the opposite of the Angel God. After his sacrifice, that madwoman Bibi Dong might do something drastic. Therefore, he needed to plan for Qian Renxue's future. According to Qian Renxue, Xiao Yi would likely come into contact with a godhood after reaching level 50 at age fourteen, at the very least reaching the level of the Angel God. If he became Qian Renxue's lover, he wouldn't have to worry about Bibi Dong doing anything bad. He knew that Xiao Yi was with Dugu Bo's granddaughter, but Qian Daoliu didn't think it mattered. What powerful person didn't have several women? Besides, Qian Renxue was only three years older than Xiao Yi; the age difference wasn't significant.

"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qian Renxue blushed instantly after hearing Qian Daoliu's words.

Then Qian Renxue recalled Xiao Yi's appearance: white hair, sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and his aloof temperament.

"It seems not bad either?" Qian Renxue thought to herself.

However, Xiao Yi was unaware of all this; he was currently focused on absorbing the spirit ring.
