Qian Yuxi

"Come, child. Hold out your hand and let's test how much Innate Soul Power you have."

Qian Daoliu took out a Crystal Ball twice the size of the ones ordinary deacons used.

"Mm!" Little Yu Xi placed his hand on the Crystal Ball. A bit of his Soul Power was immediately drawn away, and the Crystal Ball radiated a dazzling blue light.

"Level 15... Innate Soul Power at level 15?!"

Qian Daoliu looked at Little Yu Xi with blazing eyes. Fifth had truly made the most correct choice of his life when he brought this child back—without a doubt!

The Ancestor had truly blessed them. Spirit Hall was destined to rule the continent!

Unable to contain her curiosity, Qian Renxue tentatively asked, "Little Brother Yu Xi, what are the names of your two Martial Souls?"

"Sister Xue, they're called the Aurora Sacred Feather Bow and the Annihilation Sky Halberd!" Little Yu Xi landed from the air, holding a bow in one hand and a halberd in the other as he smiled faintly.

Sile de kalie kalieda! I'm not a useless Martial Soul! With Ultimate Light... and this Martial Soul that carries a trace of power beyond the mortal world, I'll definitely be able to protect Xue'er!

"Huh? Sile what, kalie what?" Qian Renxue found it rather strange, but one thing was certain: she had not misheard. It was Little Yu Xi's voice.

Little Yu Xi froze slightly. The smile on his face stiffened for an instant, while shock flickered wildly in his eyes.

Did I say what I was thinking out loud? Impossible! Wouldn't Old Master Qian be drawing his blade to chop me up right about now?

"Oh, no, Sister must have misheard. It's the Aurora Sacred Feather Bow and the Annihilation Sky Halberd, right?" Qian Renxue explained while observing Little Yu Xi's reaction.

Little Yu Xi nodded, inwardly letting out a breath of relief.

That scared me to death. I thought I'd accidentally laughed too hard.

Something was wrong—twelve kinds of wrong.

Qian Renxue was extremely clever. This was not the time to figure it out; she should first see what Grandpa had to say.

"The Aurora Sacred Feather Bow and the Annihilation Sky Halberd... They sound incredibly powerful!" Radiant Feather Douluo praised.

Little Yu Xi grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth. "Thank you for the praise, Grandpa Guangling."

Qian Daoliu looked at Little Yu Xi's brilliant smile and fell into thought. Before he could speak, Radiant Feather Douluo beat him to it.

"Little Yu Xi, would you like to take this old man as your master?"

Qian Daoliu's expression darkened. He coughed and said, "Fifth, I'm still here!"

"Boss, I was just too excited." Radiant Feather Douluo chuckled and continued, "Don't forget, I was the one who found Little Yu Xi. By rights, I'm his savior. Besides, Boss, you saw it too. One of his Martial Souls is a bow, and it looks so much like my Radiant Feather Longbow. No matter what, I should be the one teaching him, shouldn't I?"

"You..." Qian Daoliu did not see anything wrong with that for the moment. It was not that he did not want to yield to Radiant Feather Douluo. Whoever taught him was the same; it was only a matter of the title of personal disciple.

"But Yu Xi's Martial Soul is also light-attributed... Forget it. Let him decide for himself."

The two elderly predecessors both looked at Little Yu Xi with expectant expressions.

This left Little Yu Xi in an awkward position. Qian Renxue beside him felt even more awkward and shot the two grandpas a dissatisfied glare. Weren't they making things difficult for Little Brother Yu Xi?

Sorry, Old Master Qian. Grandpa Guangling is right—he saved my life. But Spirit Hall also raised me. I hope you won't take offense, Elder.

Little Yu Xi rubbed his head and finally made his decision. "I... I want to learn from Grandpa Guangling."

Listening to his voice, Qian Renxue felt that this little brother really did seem a little like a grown-up...

When Radiant Feather Douluo heard that Little Yu Xi had decided to become his disciple, he was instantly so delighted that he could not close his mouth. He immediately agreed, then composed his expression slightly and stood with his hands behind his back, putting on the air of a master.

"Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"

Little Yu Xi stepped back to open some distance, then bowed deeply and respectfully to Guangling.

"Good! Good! Good! This old man is more than satisfied with this disciple." Radiant Feather Douluo nodded in satisfaction before helping Little Yu Xi up.

"Congratulations, Little Brother Yu Xi. Grandpa Guangling certainly won't treat you poorly!"

Qian Renxue was happy for Little Yu Xi as well, a sweet smile appearing on her face. Her good little brother had surpassed ninety percent of the world's people by miles the moment he awakened his Martial Souls!

Now, he would not be sent to those places that trained death warriors, right...

Little Yu Xi scratched his head shyly, revealing an honest smile.

Haha, Xue'er, don't worry. I'll definitely cultivate hard. When the time comes... let me protect you!

It was his voice again. The Little Angel's cheeks flushed slightly, though she still felt a trace of displeasure.

"This stinky little brother, what does he think about all day? Don't think Twin Martial Souls are such a big deal. Your big sister here has Innate Soul Power at level 20. Hmph, once you obtain your first Soul Ring, I'll definitely find a chance to beat you up and vent my anger!"

Qian Daoliu silently watched Little Yu Xi complete the apprenticeship ceremony, then glanced at his beloved granddaughter's smiling face and fell into thought.

This child has Twin Martial Souls, Innate Soul Power at level 15, and a Sacred Aura around him... I've decided! From now on, he'll be Little Xue's younger brother from different parents!

Having made up his mind, he called out, "Yu Xi."

"Huh?" Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's voice, Little Yu Xi hurriedly responded.

Qian Daoliu stroked his white beard and said earnestly, "This old man recalls that you and Little Xue have always addressed each other as siblings in private."

"About that..." Little Yu Xi revealed an awkward yet polite smile.

Surely not, Old Master Qian. Are you settling accounts after the fact? At most, Xue'er carried me around in the sky on her back. You're going to make an issue out of even that?

Qian Renxue hurriedly hugged her grandfather's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, it's nothing. Little Brother Yu Xi was only playing with me."

Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched. He waved his hand. "You have misunderstood this old man's meaning. Since you, Little Yu Xi, possess a sacred light Martial Soul like that of our Angel Clan, you can be said to share the same origin with us. Moreover, Little Xue truly likes you as her little brother..."

"Grand Elder, please get to the point," Little Yu Xi said helplessly.

"Fine. You have had no surname since childhood, only a two-character given name. This old man wishes to take you as my god-grandson. Are you willing to take the surname Qian from now on?"

The surname Qian? Qian Yuxi...

Qian Renxue was slightly stunned. She had thought Grandpa would punish Little Brother Yu Xi a little, but this proposal gave her a small surprise. She looked at Little Yu Xi with anticipation in her eyes.

"Huh?" Little Yu Xi was also stunned. He had never expected Qian Daoliu to make such a request.

Radiant Feather Douluo's smile also stiffened for an instant, and inwardly, he cursed Qian Daoliu for being shameless.

Unable to take him as a disciple, he was directly taking him as a god-grandson instead. This maneuver truly left him speechless.

At the same time, outside Spirit City, a group of people returned in defeat...
