2B Dong and Secret Chamber Douluo

Having planted a seed in Tang Yuehua's heart, Lu Jin only had to wait for it to sprout.

But that seed needed an opportunity to sprout: an occasion when she was treated unfairly because of her Martial Soul defect.

According to the original story, Tang Yuehua's life in the Clear Sky Sect hadn't been particularly good, but Tang Hao and Tang Xiao had treated their younger sister reasonably well.

Without an occasion when she was treated unfairly because of her Martial Soul, that sprout would have a hard time growing.

But that occasion would come soon. The threads of Tang Yuehua's fate would soon fall into disarray; presumably, that would be the turning point in her feelings.

A few days later, Qian Daoliu finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He knew nothing of the details of Spirit Hall's destruction. Even now, all he knew was what Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji would do in the future, but as things stood, that could no longer happen.

Qian Daoliu brought Qian Xunji to the Mimicry Training Ground. Since the training ground had been repaired, Ah Yin had cultivated there every day, and Lu Jin naturally stayed there to watch over her.

Qian Daoliu cupped his fists. "Senior, this junior has come to trouble you again."

Lu Jin nodded. "Sit. What is it?"

Qian Daoliu smiled and said, "During this time, Spirit Hall has gathered enough jade to carve a hundred divine statues. We can begin carving as soon as you describe the statue's features, Senior."

"That was quick." Lu Jin's tone softened a little. "Then let's pick up where we left off last time, about Spirit Hall's future. Where were we?"

"You said I would fall in love with that trash Yu Xiaogang..." Bibi Dong sounded a little aggrieved. "How could I fall in love with a piece of trash?"

Don't make your Sister Dong laugh, all right? I have Twin Martial Souls! I'm an unparalleled genius! How could I like trash like Yu Xiaogang?!

"Let's continue, then." Lu Jin thought for a moment. "Bibi Dong fell in love with Yu Xiaogang..."

Bibi Dong interrupted at an inopportune moment. "Senior, the one who fell in love with Yu Xiaogang wasn't Bibi Dong. You can call her 2B Dong instead!"

Lu Jin's expression froze for a moment. "How did you know I see you as 2B Dong?"

Bibi Dong puffed out her cheeks, but her expression remained serious. "With you here, Senior, I won't become that 2B Dong who liked trash and betrayed Spirit Hall!"

That's the first time I've seen someone give herself a nickname... Lu Jin curled his lip. "All right... After 2B Dong fell for Gangzi, Qian Xunji did everything he could to stop her. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was Spirit Hall's mortal enemy; no one would have allowed it. But 2B Dong thought she'd found true love and wanted to fly far away with Gangzi."

This time, Qian Xunji had learned to answer ahead of time. "To stop Dong'er, I became 'Secret Chamber Douluo'?"

Lu Jin stared at the master and disciple in astonishment. They really did come from the same line!

Lu Jin continued, "That's right. To make Bibi Dong give up on Yu Xiaogang completely, the secret chamber incident happened. Of course, Qian Xunji had his own selfish motives too. After all, children born of powerful bloodlines have greater talent, and that was how Qian Renxue, a genius seen only once in ten thousand years, came to be."

Even knowing that it would certainly have happened without Lu Jin, Qian Daoliu still had his doubts. "Senior, would I really have stood by and let that happen?"

Lu Jin glanced at Qian Daoliu, his expression strange. "Don't you know why you didn't stop it?"

"Uh... please enlighten me, Senior."

"If I hadn't released my power beforehand this time and drawn you out, would you have come out of your comfortable Worship Hall?"

Qian Daoliu fell silent. Given his temperament, having already left Spirit Hall in Qian Xunji's hands, he, as the Great Enshrined, would only have guarded the Angel God's Godhood Inheritance, paying no heed to the outside world.

Lu Jin said casually, "By the time you discovered what your son had done, the wood had already been carved into a boat. So you bear some responsibility for your son's title of Secret Chamber Douluo."

"And because you still did nothing afterward, shielding Qian Xunji's evil deed, 2B Dong was left with nothing but hatred. After what happened there, 2B Dong completely lost her sense of belonging in Spirit Hall."

Qian Daoliu said nothing. Though he conducted himself openly and honorably, he certainly couldn't put righteousness before family and kill his only son.

"So Dong'er killed me after that?" Qian Xunji raised his head in puzzlement and saw Bibi Dong hiding far away. "Dong'er, why have you gone so far away?"

Bibi Dong smiled, then took a few more steps back. "Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking. I'm fine over here."

Qian Xunji wanted to say something else, but after seeing Lu Jin's amused smile, he gave up. "Forget it. Suit yourself. Senior, what I want to ask is, although Dong'er was a cultivation genius, even with hatred to drive her, she shouldn't have been able to become a Titled Douluo in a short time. How could she have killed me?"

Lu Jin replied, "That brings us to something else, and it also involves Ah Yin."

Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on Ah Yin, who was still cultivating. "How could it involve Miss Ah Yin? Isn't she a Soul Beast from the Star Dou Forest?"

"That brings us to the original child of destiny, the one who destroyed Spirit Hall." Lu Jin glanced at Qian Daoliu. "Speaking of which, the one who destroyed Spirit Hall was a descendant of an old acquaintance of yours."

"A descendant of an old acquaintance of mine?" Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment. "Could it be Tang Chen?"

"That's right. Tang Chen was one of the three Limit Douluo, and the one who destroyed Spirit Hall was his great-grandson, Tang San."

"Tang Chen's great-grandson..." Qian Daoliu murmured. Suddenly, he stared at Lu Jin in shock. "Senior, did you say three Limit Douluo? Is there a third Limit Douluo besides Tang Chen and me?"

"Yes. On Sea God Island, far across the ocean, there is a true proud daughter of heaven, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi. She's decades younger than you, Qian Daoliu. It's worth mentioning that she's also a guardian of a godhood."

This news shocked Qian Daoliu even more than the destruction of Spirit Hall. A single Limit Douluo was enough to change the balance of power on the continent. Sea God Island, which had a Limit Douluo, was probably no simple force either.

After some thought, he asked, "Senior, I wonder which of us is stronger, this Sea God Douluo or me?"

Lu Jin answered honestly. "Before, if you'd fought her on the ocean, she could have crushed you."

"Crushed me?" Qian Daoliu was somewhat alarmed. "You said 'before,' Senior. Does that mean she's no match for me now, or in the future?"

Lu Jin shook his head. "Now, she can crush you anywhere."

Qian Daoliu smiled and shook his head. "Senior, I admit that you're stronger than me. But Bo Saixi is a Limit Douluo just like me. I don't believe she can crush me."

"It doesn't matter. She should arrive at Spirit Hall before long. You can spar with her then."

"Very well, very..." Qian Daoliu's smile vanished. "What do you mean, Senior? Isn't she a guardian of a godhood? How can she leave Sea God Island as she pleases?"

"Oh, that was before. She's one of my people now."

"She's one of yours..."

Qian Xunji was not the only one at a loss for words; even Qian Daoliu stumbled over his speech.

Spirit Hall was already following Lu Jin's lead in everything, and now he was saying he had another Limit Douluo under him?

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath. "Senior, do you intend to unite the Douluo Continent?"

"Unite the Douluo Continent? I have no interest in that." Lu Jin shook his head. "But while I simply lack the interest, your Spirit Hall lacks the ability. Heroes under heaven are as numerous as carp crossing a river. Your Spirit Hall hasn't even fully explored the Star Dou Great Forest, let alone the entire Douluo Continent."

Qian Daoliu nodded. "Your lesson is well deserved, Senior. But Bo Saixi is a guardian of a godhood. Why would she come to follow you? Shouldn't a guardian fearlessly face death for the godhood?"

"No one is unafraid of death, and Bo Saixi is no exception. I gave her hope of escaping her fate. That's why she left Sea God Island." Watching Qian Daoliu's changing expression, Lu Jin continued,

"In the future, you too will sacrifice yourself so Qian Renxue can become a god. Haven't you ever considered another way to live?"

Qian Daoliu lost himself in thought for a moment, then smiled and cupped his fists. "You jest, Senior. The Angel God's blood flows in the Qian Family. Guarding the godhood and waiting for the next Angel God to be born is my mission."

Whisper had taken effect, but living on was not Qian Daoliu's desire, so its effect was limited.

Lu Jin had long expected it to be impossible to make Qian Daoliu give up his role as guardian of the godhood, but he hadn't expected the man's resolve to be so firm.

The Qian Family was different from Bo Saixi.

The Qian Family had always been descended from the Angel God, so the Great Enshrined did not resist sacrificing himself. Bo Saixi had no blood ties to the Sea God, so her desire to escape her fate was far greater than Qian Daoliu's.

It seemed he would have to find another way to drag Qian Daoliu down from his position as guardian of the Angel God's godhood.

He had become a level 99 Limit Douluo without relying on outside help, and Qian Daoliu himself had ample prestige and faith. He was the perfect raw material for creating a god.

"Everyone has their own pursuits." Lu Jin made no further attempt to sway him. "Back to the point. Tang San was not only Tang Chen's great-grandson, but also Ah Yin's son."

"Miss Ah Yin's son?"

Qian Daoliu instinctively looked at Ah Yin, who had opened her eyes in bewilderment. She didn't look pregnant.

Lu Jin said irritably, "What are you looking at? With me here, Tang San's birth has changed, so Ah Yin won't have any connection to the Clear Sky Sect now."

Qian Daoliu hurriedly lowered his head. "I was discourteous."

At the same time, warmth welled up in his heart. It seems Senior intended to help us from the very beginning. Spirit Hall must offer him all its loyalty!
