Qian Daoliu slowly withdrew his gaze.
Just as they were about to arrive at the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
He looked at a hotel across the street.
The hotel was seven stories high, and the facade was quite luxurious; one look told you it was the best accommodation in Star Luo City.
However, Qian Daoliu’s gaze rested on the hotel entrance.
A group of young men and women were standing there.
It was the very group from Shrek that he had encountered earlier in the Mingdou Mountain Range.
Not far away, Ma Xiaotao also noticed Qian Daoliu.
She noticed he was walking with Dai Hao, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes as she hurriedly waved and shouted.
“Senior!”
After shouting, Ma Xiaotao ran toward Qian Daoliu.
Upon seeing his father, Dai Yueheng also hurriedly walked over.
The others followed suit.
Only Huo Yuhao remained standing in place, staring fixedly at Dai Hao, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.
Wang Dong nudged him with his arm and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
Huo Yuhao shook his head and loosened his fists, “It’s nothing.”
Remembering that Elder Yi had told him to make contact with Qian Daoliu and build a good relationship, he also walked toward Qian Daoliu.
By this time, Ma Xiaotao had already run up close and bowed deeply to Qian Daoliu, “Last time, I didn’t have the chance to repay you, Senior, and you left before I could even ask for your name.”
“Please, Senior, may I have your name?”
Dai Yueheng and the others also bowed one after another.
Dai Hao was bewildered on the side, frowning as he asked, “Yueheng, looking at your behavior, could it be that you’ve known Brother Qian for a long time?”
Dai Yueheng nodded repeatedly, “Yes, that’s right, Father…”
He briefly explained what had happened back in the Mingdou Mountain Range.
After hearing this, Dai Hao’s pupils dilated.
“What?
You went to wipe out the Death Hand Bandit Group, were almost completely wiped out, and it was only thanks to Brother Qian intervening that you saved your lives?
Why didn’t you tell me?”
Dai Yueheng scratched his head and explained, “Mainly because we didn’t want you to worry, and we were in a rush to participate in the tournament, so it wasn’t convenient to delay.”
Dai Hao could understand this and nodded slightly.
Then he turned to Qian Daoliu, cupped his hands, and spoke in a solemn tone.
“Brother Qian, I didn’t expect you to have saved my son.
Thank you very much.”
At this moment, the dissatisfaction in Dai Hao’s heart vanished, and he even felt a trace of guilt.
The other party had saved his son, yet he had actually felt dissatisfied under such circumstances.
How damnable.
Qian Daoliu waved his hand casually, his tone indifferent.
“No need to thank me.
I only did what I should have done; there is no need for this.”
As he spoke, he looked at the Shrek group and continued.
“And you little ones, when I saved you back then, I never expected any reward.
As for my name, it is enough for you to know that I am called Qian Daoliu.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao silently repeated his name a few times.
The others also etched this name into their minds.
Huo Yuhao, however, was suddenly stunned on the spot.
Because, at this moment, the incredulous shout of the Ice Empress rang out in his mind.
“Impossible!
How can he be called Qian Daoliu?
Absolutely impossible!”
Huo Yuhao didn’t understand why, but with so many people watching nearby, it wasn’t appropriate to ask the Ice Empress what was wrong.
At this time, Ma Xiaotao asked curiously, “Senior, did you come to Star Luo City to watch the tournament?”
Qian Daoliu said, “Perhaps I will go take a look.”
Ma Xiaotao was immediately delighted and hurriedly said, “Three days from now, it will be the Round of 16 elimination matches.
We will all be competing, so Senior, you must come and watch.”
She didn’t have any other intentions; she simply wanted her savior to witness her talent.
Qian Daoliu did not agree, but he did not explicitly refuse either.
“I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.”
He bid farewell to the Shrek group and walked toward the entrance of the imperial palace not far away.
Dai Hao also said to his son, “Yueheng, Brother Qian and I are going to meet His Majesty.
You should prepare well for tomorrow’s match.”
Dai Yueheng patted his chest and guaranteed, “Don’t worry, Father.
We will definitely win the championship this time.”
Dai Hao nodded with satisfaction; he had no doubts, after all, he knew the strength of these Little freaks from Shrek, which would definitely be a dimension-reducing blow in the tournament.
…
As Qian Daoliu was walking, he bumped into seven young people wearing silver-white school uniforms.
The three people in the lead were the most striking.
One was extremely tall and sturdy, with broad shoulders and a thick back, visible muscle definition, carrying a metal cannon barrel on his back.
He looked to be around twenty years old, had excellent talent, and possessed the cultivation of a six-ring Spirit Emperor.
One had a handsome appearance, short golden hair, and golden pupils, with an air of nobility about him.
He was a five-ring Soul King.
One had a slender and well-proportioned figure, a cold and arrogant temperament, delicate and small facial features, fair skin, wine-red long hair, and ice-blue pupils.
She was a five-ring Soul King.
Qian Daoliu’s gaze fell upon the various precision objects worn by these three.
He guessed that they were all spirit tools.
He had focused on learning about spirit tools during this period, and although he was still only half-understanding, he could roughly distinguish between good and bad.
The spirit tools worn by these three were much better crafted than those he had seen at the White Tiger Dukes Mansion.
And according to the current landscape of the continent.
Only the Sun Moon Empire should be able to craft such precision spirit tools.
Unsurprisingly, these young people were likely from the Sun Moon Empire.
Qian Daoliu’s mind became active.
He was a person who easily accepted new things, and he was also very clear that with the development of the era, spirit tools would definitely lead the future direction of the era.
Even though he had not yet seen powerful spirit tools,
his vision had already made him understand this point.
Qian Daoliu believed that it would be necessary to go to the Sun Moon Empire in the future to learn spirit tool technology.
After all, one must learn to adapt to the times.
He wanted to rebuild the Martial Soul Hall, so naturally, he could not just replicate the former Martial Soul Hall.
Thinking this, Qian Daoliu withdrew his gaze and stopped paying attention.
At the same time.
Among the group from the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy, Meng Hongchen seemed to sense something, and with a fleeting glance, she saw Qian Daoliu’s side profile.
Her “looks-obsessed” nature exploded, and she was instantly stunned, with little stars appearing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen frowned; knowing his younger sister’s nature, he followed her gaze.
“It seems to be the Duke of White Tiger from the Star Luo Empire.
Sister, you haven’t taken a liking to him, have you?”
Meng Hongchen scoffed, “Him?
Although he looks decent enough, compared to that blonde handsome guy, he isn’t even fit to carry his shoes.”
Xiao Hongchen raised an eyebrow, looked at Qian Daoliu’s back, and advised.
“Forget about it.
This person is walking with Dai Hao, so his identity is very obvious; he must belong to the Star Luo Empire.
You know the relationship between us and the Star Luo Empire.”
Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes, “Brother, don’t you know how to say something nice?”
Xiao Hongchen spread his hands, just about to say something, when he suddenly noticed the Shrek group at the street corner.
Then, a look of deep disdain flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, “These guys who don’t embrace spirit tools…
I hope we can meet them in the finals, and give them a taste of spirit tool shock.”
Meng Hongchen was uninterested; her mind was now filled with Qian Daoliu’s side profile, thinking about how good it would be if she could see him again.
