Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 37 Heartbreaking Red of Longing

Su Cheng had completed his final arrangements and was on his way back to the Spirit Hall.

A few days ago, he first went to Holy Soul Village, where Tang Hao was indeed living in seclusion.

As for his son Tang San, unsurprisingly, he was just an ordinary brat who grew up to be thin and sallow under the care of his troublesome father.

If it weren't for the help from kind-hearted people in the same village, things would probably be even worse; the key is just to keep them alive.

As for whether there were any hidden reasons behind Tang San's time travel in the original novel, Su Cheng was unsure and had no intention of investigating for the time being.

It's enough to know that Tang San in this world is an ordinary person with no special abilities other than twin martial souls.

Tang Hao must have spotted him, but obviously couldn't recognize Su Cheng in disguise, treating him merely as an ordinary Soul Master passing by. He clearly didn't think he could be seen through by a three-ring Soul Master and didn't take it seriously.

As for the Soul Hunting Forest, Su Cheng went there to carefully explore the distribution of soul beasts. After completing this simulation and returning to reality, he can choose a soul beast from it as his first soul ring.

In addition, he also found the current hiding place of the Blue Silver Emperor, since it was too easy to find it using a waterfall nearly a hundred feet high as a coordinate.

As for Yu Xiaogang, he was not much different from the character profile that Su Cheng had pre-determined.

In terms of ability alone, he's not outstanding, but he's not particularly bad either; he's just an ordinary good-for-nothing.

But his character was indeed very poor; he was easily swayed by the benefits offered and became another key piece on the chessboard.

Several days later, Su Cheng returned to the Spirit Hall without a trace.

He wasn't directly under Bibi Dong, but rather belonged to the Elders' Hall system, so naturally he didn't need to report to her.

After pushing open the door to his room, he found someone standing by the window, gazing at the scenery outside.

Her tall figure was gilded by the sunlight streaming in, and her long golden hair swayed gently in the breeze by the window.

It was a thousand-foot snow.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Su Cheng said casually, as he walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

His cultivation level was not high, and he didn't use any means of transportation for convenience, so he was feeling a bit thirsty.

In fact, Qian Renxue had already sensed Su Cheng's approach; she was all too familiar with his footsteps.

The reason I didn't go out to greet them immediately was to calm the complex emotions surging within me.

Only now have I begun to feel a little calmer.

She turned around calmly, a smile appearing on her face, "Teacher, you're back."

Looking at Qian Renxue's slightly reddened eyes, Su Cheng understood.

He glanced at her without saying a word, then quickly walked behind the table.

After glancing at the drawer, he finally spoke, "You knew everything?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was initially flustered, and then the emotions she had been trying to suppress for the past few days could no longer be controlled, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I'm so sorry..."

"Ugh."

Su Cheng's feelings were also somewhat complicated at this moment.

Although he had made plans long ago, he was not heartless.

How could anyone remain unmoved by taking advantage of someone who wholeheartedly believes in them?

However, regardless of his mood, thanks to his veteran acting talent, he can never reveal the slightest flaw on the surface.

"Tell me your thoughts."

"I don't know." Qian Renxue looked blank.

She only recently learned about this, and her grandfather is hiding the truth from her, leaving her with no one to confide in.

The feigned calmness I showed before was nothing more than a mask.

Seeing this, Su Cheng didn't urge her. He poured another cup of tea and pushed it in front of Qian Renxue, saying, "Then listen to me first."

"Your father's death may not have been your mother's intention. Although I don't know what happened back then, there may be other hidden stories. Divine inheritance is not all good things."

"Bibi Dong... is she going to become a god?"

"I don't know." Su Cheng shook his head. "But in any case, only when you are strong enough are you qualified to seek the truth, understand?"

Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully, her expression gradually calming down.

"So, you don't need to think about anything else right now; just focus on improving your own abilities."

"By the way, teacher, my grandfather, why did he..." Qian Renxue seemed to have thought of something and suddenly mentioned Qian Daoliu, her expression slightly hesitant.

"What happened to the Grand Master?"

"He seems to know what happened back then, but why won't he tell me the truth?"

A few days ago, she asked Qian Daoliu, and the hesitation on his face and the ambiguity in his words when he answered said too much.

If Qian Renxue didn't know the truth, it would be fine, but now that she knows more information, she can find all sorts of suspicious points when she looks at it again.

"I think the Grand Master must have his reasons..." Su Cheng took a sip of tea and offered words of comfort.

When he said this, Su Cheng's expression seemed somewhat complicated, as if he was trying to hide something.

Qian Renxue was taken aback when she saw this.

The word "difficulties" has a lot to say.

It could be that his son was at fault, or that he didn't want internal strife within the Spirit Hall, or that he was thinking about Qian Renxue's growth.

It all depends on how the listener interprets it.

Upon seeing Su Cheng's expression, Qian Renxue's first thought was that her grandfather didn't want to expose the truth for the sake of the Spirit Hall.

Because Sendou Ryu is indeed that kind of person.

"……I see."

Su Cheng glanced at her but didn't say anything more.

This is enough; going too far is as bad as not going far enough.

Qian Renxue harbors hatred and doubts, but she is far from wanting to kill Bibi Dong.

It will take another spark in the future to make it happen.

They didn't speak again after that, and sat there quietly drinking tea.

Neither of them felt awkward in this atmosphere.

Qian Renxue, in particular, had been suffering mentally for the past few days, but now she was finally able to settle down and even felt a sense of enjoyment.

More than twenty minutes passed before Su Cheng spoke again.

"I brought you some good things from my trip, which will greatly benefit your spiritual practice."

After saying that, he took out a strangely shaped red grass leaf from his soul tool.

The very tip of the grass blade resembles a rooster's comb, with veins displaying a reddish-gold hue. As soon as this grass appears, the temperature in the entire room rises dramatically.

"This is a celestial herb called Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, which can purify your fire attribute and greatly enhance its power."

"Should I eat it now?" Qian Renxue looked at the fairy herb in front of her with curiosity.

She naturally believed Su Cheng's words completely.

"...Wait a minute."

Su Cheng paused at this point.

Only after a slight hesitation did he take out another white flower-shaped fairy herb.

Although the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower can greatly replenish pure Yang, it is not a perfect match for Qian Renxue, and may even suppress the sacred attributes of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul to some extent.

"Try this first. If it doesn't work, then try the other one..."
