The dark hall was very quiet. You could almost hear a pin drop.
“Hmph!”
Qian Renxue looked at the letter in her hand and snorted angrily. Her body trembled, and she crumpled the letter and threw it on the floor.
Her grandfather actually wanted her to marry a boy who was eight years younger than her. Just reading the first sentence made her furious. Didn’t her grandfather know she had more important things to do right now? This was a critical time for her mission.
Holding her forehead, she looked at the man in front of her and said angrily,
“What is my grandfather thinking? He wants me to marry a boy eight years younger than me! Doesn’t he know I have important work to do?”
Standing in front of her, Jiang Mo smiled bitterly.
“Young Xue, if you don’t agree, I can go back and tell the Grand Priest. He only wants your opinion. He is not forcing you. After all, you are his granddaughter. Also… this Lin Feng is not ordinary. You should know that from the letter.”
Qian Renxue frowned slightly. She had not finished reading the letter.
“Grandpa Jiang Mo, I didn’t read all of it. What is special about this Lin Feng?”
Jiang Mo explained,
“Lin Feng is the son of Lin Yetian and Ying Chuchu from the Spirit Hall. His grandmother comes from a branch of the Qian family. A few days ago, he awakened a Light and Dark Angel martial soul, with innate soul power level 20. His angel power is even stronger than yours.”
“Stronger than mine?” Qian Renxue said quietly.
“Does that mean Grandfather wants to replace me as the Angel God’s successor?”
She felt sad. From childhood, her life had not been easy. Her mother disliked her, but her father and grandfather cared for her. She awakened a powerful martial soul at six, but later lost her father. Now she was alone, carrying out missions far away.
Was she going to lose everything again?
Seeing her expression change, Jiang Mo quickly said,
“No, that’s not it. The Grand Priest does not want to replace you. Lin Feng already has a god inheritance—the God of Order, which is even stronger than the Angel God. That’s why your grandfather thought about matching you two.”
“If you don’t agree, I will tell him. He would never force you.”
Qian Renxue calmed down and asked,
“So, Lin Feng is stronger in angel power, but he already has his own god inheritance. That’s why Grandfather wants us to be together?”
“Yes,” Jiang Mo nodded.
She closed her eyes and thought carefully.
One was the successor of the Angel God.
The other was the successor of the God of Order.
Both were extremely powerful and from related bloodlines. From any point of view, they seemed well matched.
After a long silence, Jiang Mo said,
“You don’t have to decide now. There is still time. And about the age gap—it doesn’t matter much. In the soul master world, large age differences are common. And if you both become gods, you will live forever. Compared to that, eight years is nothing.”
Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.
“That’s true…”
Jiang Mo looked at her curiously.
“Are you actually considering it?”
She shook her head, then nodded slightly.
“Tell Grandfather to leave this matter for now. When I have time, I will go back and meet Lin Feng myself. But until I agree, don’t tell him about this.”
Jiang Mo smiled and added,
“Oh, and one more thing—Lin Feng is also the Grand Priest’s godson. That makes him your ‘brother’ in name.”
After saying that, he left.
Watching him go, Qian Renxue rested her chin on her hand and murmured,
“A brother in name… I really want to meet him.”
She wondered what he looked like and what kind of person he was.
Well… he was only six years old. It was probably too early to tell.
