Sign-in Task Resumes

"Then tell me, what exactly is her predicament?" Qian Renxue grabbed Lu Yuan's hand, her slightly reddened eyes staring straight at Lu Yuan, her gaze full of questioning.

"I can't say!" Lu Yuan sighed as he looked at the questioning look in Qian Renxue's eyes.

"This matter concerns the teacher's biggest secret, and I cannot tell anyone. But one day you will find out. The teacher loves you, but there is something that has been tormenting her, preventing her from finding peace, and has also led to the current state of your relationship as mother and daughter."

"You and the teacher are both victims; the real culprits are others."

"So, Xue'er, please don't hold such a deep grudge against your teacher anymore, okay?"

Lu Yuan stroked Qian Renxue's cheek and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue remained silent, her gaze fixed intently on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan did not back down. He met Qian Renxue's eyes, his gaze full of sincerity and openness.

"Can't I even tell you this so-called predicament?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked.

"No!" Lu Yuan nodded and said.

"Lu Yuan, do you love me?" Qian Renxue asked, looking directly at Lu Yuan.

"Love!" Lu Yuan answered without hesitation.

"So, in your heart, am I more important or is your teacher more important? You can't run away from this, I want to hear the truth." Qian Renxue looked intently at Lu Yuan.

"Of course it's you. You are the most important person in my heart. No one can compare to you!" Lu Yuan answered Qian Renxue's question without the slightest hesitation.

"What about Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing?" Qian Renxue asked.

"They are my life, but you are more important than my life!" Lu Yuan said, word by word.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue stared intently Lu Yuan, her gaze filled with turmoil.

"Xue'er!" Lu Yuan called out Qian Renxue's name softly.

"You rascal, you're the most important person in my heart too!" Qian Renxue said, throwing herself into Lu Yuan's arms.

Lu Yuan wrapped his arms around Qian Renxue and pulled her tightly into his embrace.

"Lu Yuan!" Qian Renxue's voice rang out.

"What's wrong, Xue'er?" Lu Yuan gently stroked Qian Renxue's long golden hair and asked.

"I want to find an opportunity to talk to her. Didn't you say she has her reasons? I want to talk to her in person and see what she really thinks." Qian Renxue bit her red lips lightly, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion. She didn't know whether this decision was right or wrong.

But deep down, she still longed for the maternal love she had never received!

And most importantly, she trusted the man in front of her.

"Alright, I'll create an opportunity for you two, so you and your daughter can have a heart-to-heart talk," Lu Yuan said.

"You scoundrel, you better remember what you said!" Qian Renxue said.

"Of course!" Lu Yuan said softly, a slight smile on his face.

The two embraced quietly, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed.

Qian Renxue wriggled out of Lu Yuan's embrace and straightened his clothes, which were a little disheveled from the hug.

"You rascal, do you have time these next couple of days?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Yes, the auction is in a week. I've already prepared the Soul Tool and pills to be auctioned over the past three months, so there's nothing for me to worry about for the time being, and I even have some free time," Lu Yuan said.

"In that case, come with me to the Mist Forest. I need to go there to obtain my Sixth Soul Ring," Qian Renxue said softly.

"The Mist Forest?" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback. He naturally knew about the Mist Forest. It was one of the three high-level Soul Beast forests under the control of the Spirit Hall, and the Soul Beast in it were the oldest among the three forests. There were many Soul Beast inherited from ancient times, and even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast might be found in the Mist Forest.

In conclusion, the Mist Forest is far more dangerous than the other two forests.

Lu Yuan opened his mouth, about to answer, when suddenly, the system's voice rang in his mind!

"The Sign-in Task has begun. The sign-in location is the Mist Forest. The sign-in period is within one month. Sign-in rewards: all Soul Ring Lifespan increased by 5,000 years, and two Titled Douluo Draw Cards!"

"Hmm?" The system's voice startled Lu Yuan. This time, going to the Mist Forest actually triggered a mission. Could there be something special about the Mist Forest?

Moreover, the rewards are quite generous. Putting aside the fact that all the Soul Ring have been upgraded by 5,000 years, those two Titled Douluo Draw Cards are quite valuable rewards.

Don't forget how Long Xiaoyao came to be.

While it's impossible to be as lucky as that time every time and draw Ultimate Douluo, having two more Titled Douluo is truly significant for Lu Yuan's Dragon King Hall.

With these two added, even excluding Mad Rhino Douluo, he now has four Titled Douluo under his command.

That's quite a force!

However, the more generous the rewards, the more difficult it might be to sign in this time.

"What's wrong, Lu Yuan?" Qian Renxue asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at Lu Yuan's expression.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered some things!" Hearing Qian Renxue's voice, he instantly came back to his senses.

"Xue'er, who's going with us to the Mist Forest this time?" Lu Yuan asked.

"The Mist Forest is quite dangerous. Although it's not as dangerous as the Star Dou Great Forest, there are still quite a few high-level Soul Beast there. So I was planning to bring Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo with me. But that might be unnecessary. With you accompanying me, Senior Dragon Emperor will definitely follow. With his strength, he certainly won't be in any danger," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"Old Long probably won't be able to go. I sent him back to pick up my father. The journey is long, and although Old Long is extremely fast, my old man is not young and his strength is low. He can't withstand too much bumping. So Old Long can't go very fast with him. It will probably take at least ten days to return to Heaven Dou Imperial City. So this time, I'm afraid I'll be the only one."

"What about Mad Rhino Douluo?" Qian Renxue asked.

"I sent Mad Rhino Douluo to help manage the Soul Tool. I asked him to go over there and supervise. Old Long is not here, and Senior Dugu is busy with the pills. Someone needs to keep an eye on the Soul Tool as well. This auction is the Dragon King Hall's first major operation, and we absolutely cannot mess it up, so necessary caution is required!" Lu Yuan said.

"Hmm, you're right. But even if Senior Dragon Emperor can't go, it won't matter much. With Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo accompanying us, even if we encounter Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and can't defeat it, we can still escape. So there's no need to worry. Besides, there might not even be Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Mist Forest," Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"That makes sense!" Lu Yuan nodded upon hearing this.
