“That brat Qian Xunji, who knows how long it will be before he returns after going out, dumping all these messy leftovers on us.”
Golden Crocodile Douluo rubbed the space between his brows and said, “Everyone inside Spirit City knows by now that the Holy Maiden betrayed Spirit Hall because she was bewitched by people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and she’s even clamoring to seek revenge against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Big Brother, what do you think?!”
Hearing this matter gave Qian Daoliu a massive headache.
He said helplessly, “Let’s wait until the Pope, Qian Xunji, comes back before discussing this.
That beast…
Since things have blown up to this extent, wouldn’t it be unjustified if we don’t demand an explanation from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?”
“Indeed, public sentiment is in such an uproar.
If we truly ignore everything, the residents within Spirit City will lose faith in Spirit Hall, and how will other forces on the continent view our Spirit Hall?”
Green Luan Douluo chimed in, “It seems Qian Xunji had already figured out how to demand an explanation from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.”
“This brat, although he left behind a mess, actually thought things through reasonably well.
Let’s suppress this matter for now.
It’s not that retribution isn’t coming, but rather that the Pope is not here…” said Qian Daoliu.
“Should we just tell the people below like this?” Lion Douluo asked doubtfully, “Stating directly that the Pope is not here, isn’t that…”
“Say it, what is there that cannot be said?
Just say that Qian Xunji was too deeply hurt and went out to clear his mind.
If other forces want to watch a joke, let them watch!
When Qian Xunji returns, he will personally settle every single account!”
Qian Daoliu said this, “He really knows how to find trouble for a bunch of old fossils like us.
If he can’t come back after a year, this old man will break his dog legs…”
“Big Brother, when do you think that brat Qian Xunji will let you hold a grandson or granddaughter?” Golden Crocodile Douluo asked out of the blue.
“He’s already fifty this year; isn’t he considering this matter yet?
Given his appearance, status, and cultivation, it shouldn’t be hard to find a Soul Master with good talent, right?”
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu pondered slightly and said, “I had him when I was in my seventies, and he’s only fifty now.
No rush, let it be.
I’ll be happy if it’s early, and it’s no big deal if it’s late.”
“How about this, Big Brother?
After a year, when Qian Xunji comes back, we’ll help arrange something for him, how does that sound?”
Golden Crocodile Douluo suggested.
“That’s fine too.
Do you all have any candidates in mind?” Qian Daoliu swept his gaze across his old brothers and asked.
“Doesn’t our Spirit Hall have a female Soul Master who is a Titled Douluo?” Green Luan Douluo said, “If possible, I think she wouldn’t refuse.”
“Furthermore, with so many Soul Masters in our Spirit Hall, there are quite a few female Soul Masters with good talent.
When Qian Xunji returns, we can just let him slowly choose.”
“Mm, let’s do it that way.” Qian Daoliu nodded and said, “I was over seventy when I fathered Qian Xunji.
On the other hand, look at Tang Chen; his grandson is already over thirty, and in a couple of years, he might even have a great-grandson.”
“Qian Xunji should speed things up too.
That brat is idle and basically ruined, and I don’t know if his grandchildren will be capable of taking on important responsibilities.”
To be honest, he quite envied Tang Chen.
His son was born early, his grandson was already so big, and in a couple of years, he’d probably have a great-grandson.
Besides, Bo Saixi actually liked him…
He really couldn’t understand why Bo Saixi would like a man raising a child instead of liking him.
Could it be just because Tang Chen had the hope of becoming a god?
…
Ever since leaving that small town, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao continued to travel across the continent to gain experience, broaden their horizons, and hone their strength.
Tang Hao’s Soul Power Rank had also broken through to the eighty-Rank quasi-Soul Douluo within these past few days.
As long as he obtained the eighth Soul Ring, he would be a true Soul Douluo!
At this moment, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had already arrived at the periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the sky was gradually growing dark.
They could only make camp on the spot and wait until daytime before entering the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Star Dou Great Forest at night was extremely dangerous, as all kinds of powerful Soul Beasts would come out to forage.
In front of the bonfire, Tang Hao clutched his chest.
He didn’t know why, but every time night came, he would experience angina.
That feeling was as if something most precious to him was being trampled upon by others.
This feeling was strongest at night and would lessen a lot during the day, though it wasn’t completely gone.
At least twice a day, and sometimes even three to five times, he didn’t know what was going on, and even thought he had fallen ill.
It wasn’t like he hadn’t sought out healing-type Soul Masters, but the result he got was that his body was extremely healthy without any issues at all.
“Brother Hao, is it still hurting?” Tang Xiao looked anxiously at Tang Hao, who currently wore a painful expression.
His younger brother was the person with the best talent in the new generation of the Clear Sky Sect, and also the next Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect; nothing could go wrong.
“Mm…” Tang Hao wore a painful look.
“Big Brother, this feeling only started appearing after Ah Yin left with Qian Xunji.
Do you think this could be related to Ah Yin?”
Hearing these words, Tang Xiao’s face darkened, and he said helplessly, “Brother Hao, this is a psychological illness of yours; your body is healthy…”
“It seems that healing-type Soul Master was right.
Because you suffered too great a blow, your heart aches every time you think of that Soul Beast.”
“Brother Hao, stop thinking about her anymore.
Right now, she has probably already become a Soul Ring and Soul Bone…”
Hearing this, Tang Hao nodded slightly, gritting his teeth to endure the painful sensation.
He was coming to understand more and more just how important Ah Yin was to him, and just how much he liked the other party.
Back then, he should have stepped in to protect Ah Yin and let her leave; otherwise, how could Ah Yin have…
“Big Brother, do you think if I were a Soul Douluo, I would be Qian Xunji’s match?” Tang Hao asked abruptly.
“Brother Hao!” Tang Xiao reprimanded, “What, do you still want to go avenge Ah Yin?
Stop being foolish, Brother Hao!”
“Is Spirit Hall someone we can afford to offend?
To provoke Spirit Hall for the sake of a Soul Beast, what are you trying to do?!”
“It’s not like that, Big Brother!” Tang Hao hurriedly waved his hand and said, “I just want to go and confirm whether Ah Yin is dead or not…”
“As long as I am here, don’t even think about it!” Tang Xiao said with a livid expression, “If you appear in front of Qian Xunji again, there’s no guarantee he won’t strike at you!”
“Both you and I shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Sect.
How can you become so pathetic because of a Soul Beast?”
“Brother Hao, have you forgotten the Sect’s expectations of you?
Have you forgotten why the Clear Sky Secret Skills were passed down to you?”
These words fell into Tang Hao’s ears like a bolt from the blue.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Big Brother, I haven’t forgotten!”
“But Ah Yin is truly important to me.
You don’t know that feeling; you can’t comprehend it!
I want to go take a look!”
“Slap…”
Tang Xiao stood up, slapped Tang Hao across the face, and roared angrily, “Stupid!
Fool!
Don’t even think about it!”
…
Inside the hotel.
Qian Xunji’s gaze was lazy.
“I’m a bit tired.
Be a good girl, listen to me, climb up yourself and move on your own…”
Ah Yin’s gaze was resentful as she gritted her teeth.
“Beast!
Brute!”
