"Ye Cheng may become Xue Er's formidable rival in the future!"
Qian Daoliu thought of Ye Cheng's status as a divine inheritance bearer, then of how he was already level 99. It could be said that he already had one foot across the threshold of reaching level 100 and becoming a god.
Yet his own granddaughter was still in the Heaven Dou Empire, posing as the crown prince and playing that pointless game of usurping the throne, wasting her time away. Godhood was still a distant prospect. For the first time in his life, he felt frustrated by someone's failure to meet expectations!
If Ye Cheng had not yet grown powerful, Qian Daoliu would not have minded personally ending this divine inheritance bearer's life, clearing the way for his granddaughter's future.
But regrettably, Ye Cheng had already grown powerful. Long before the video was revealed, he had transformed from a frail little sapling into a towering tree!
At this point, Qian Daoliu would already be thanking the heavens if Ye Cheng did not come looking for trouble with Spirit Hall. There was no need to mention taking the initiative to provoke him.
"Alas, I only hope Ye Cheng will not become an enemy of Spirit Hall in the future." Qian Daoliu finally sighed. That was all he could hope for. Unless absolutely necessary, he truly did not wish to face a divine inheritance bearer like this.
Star Luo Empire.
Zhu Manor.
Inside an elegantly decorated young lady's chamber.
Bang!
A set of tea ware was swept onto the floor and shattered into pieces.
The culprit was a tall young woman with an exceptionally voluptuous figure, skin like white jade, and ravishingly beautiful features. Most importantly, her facial features bore a seventy to eighty percent resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing's.
Yet unlike Zhu Zhuqing's cool aloofness, this young woman exuded seductive charm, like a fully ripened peach. Compared to the still somewhat immature Zhu Zhuqing, she was even more attractive to men.
This mature and alluring young woman was Zhu Zhuqing's elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, the one destined to fight Zhu Zhuqing in the future.
Zhu Zhuyun had just finished watching the Future Video, and her expression was incomparably cold!
"Damn it! Why is she so lucky?!"
As she recalled the future revealed in the video and learned that her younger sister would take a Limit Douluo as her master, incomparable jealousy surged within her heart! At the same time, she felt panic! Fear!
Zhu Zhuyun did not believe Zhu Zhuqing would spare her once she rose to power. After all, royal education had always been cruel. Having been raised as a crown princess from childhood, she had always been accustomed to assuming the worst of others.
Looking at it from another angle, if Zhu Zhuyun herself had been bullied by her elder sister since childhood and had constantly faced danger, then once she became powerful, she would definitely repay it a thousandfold! Otherwise, she would never be able to swallow that grievance.
Thus, she was certain that once Zhu Zhuqing claimed final victory, her own fate would definitely be miserable!
Therefore, she absolutely had to stop her from taking a master!
Thinking back to the changes in Zhu Zhuqing's appearance in the video, Zhu Zhuyun immediately inferred that Zhu Zhuqing in the video had to have been at least fifteen or sixteen years old. Right now, she was only twelve.
Furthermore, not long ago, Zhu Zhuqing had been injured while escaping from the assassins she had sent. At this point in time, she most likely had yet to encounter that Limit Douluo, much less become his disciple. So long as she killed her now, she would no longer pose any threat!
Yes! She had to kill her as soon as possible!
Bone-chilling killing intent surged in Zhu Zhuyun's seductive eyes!
If the previous pursuit had merely been meant to drive her to Dai Mubai's side while giving her some pressure, then now that Zhu Zhuyun knew Zhu Zhuqing would rise to prominence in the future, she no longer cared about anything else.
She decided to dispatch every elite under her command, determined to kill her in a single strike and erase this threat completely!
"Zhuqing, don't blame your sister."
"I originally wanted to let you live a few more years..."
Zhu Zhuyun's gaze was sinister, the venom in her heart nearly spilling out through her eyes. In a seductive voice, she spoke the cruelest words. "But who told you to be so lucky? Your sister can only send you to your death early!"
Notting City.
Inside a blacksmith shop.
Tang San's face was filled with shock after watching the video. He had caught a crucial piece of information from it: his father was actually a Titled Douluo!
Moreover, he had not truly disappeared. He had merely been hiding in the shadows all along, watching over and protecting him.
Though the sudden truth had stunned Tang San, it also moved him somewhat. He felt a silent fatherly love from it, and warmth filled his heart...
Just then.
Bang!
The blacksmith shop's door was smashed open.
A tall figure cloaked in black appeared in the doorway, blocking the sunlight outside. Because of the backlighting, his face could not be seen clearly.
But tears fell from Tang San's eyes. Even though they had not seen each other in years, he recognized that tall figure at once. It was his father, who had been missing for years.
"Dad!!"
"Little San, come with me."
A hoarse, weathered voice came from him.
Tang San did not hesitate. He directly tossed aside the hammer in his hand and followed after his departing father, not even bothering with the half-finished Hidden Weapons around him.
In any case, these Hidden Weapons had no real technical complexity. An ordinary blacksmith could replicate them after just one look. It would only take more effort, so he did not care at all.
After the Future Video revealed that Tang San was the Clear Sky Douluo's son,
Tang Hao knew the plan had changed. He could no longer remain hidden in the shadows and leave Tang San to grow on his own. After all, everyone now knew Tang San was his son. Spirit Hall would definitely not remain without reaction. Their forces were probably already on the way to capture them.
So he had to take his son and flee from here as quickly as possible.
After briefly explaining their current situation to Tang San,
Tang San took some time to absorb the information. Then, after hesitating for a moment, he looked at Tang Hao and said, "Dad, can I say goodbye to Xiao Wu? Or can I take Xiao Wu with us?"
Facing his son's pleading gaze, Tang Hao fell silent. After some thought, he decided it was better to tell him Xiao Wu's true identity.
"That girl has probably fled already," he said.
"Fled?"
Tang San was confused. "Dad, why would Xiao Wu run away? Shouldn't we be the ones fleeing? Did she offend Spirit Hall too?"
"No. The reason she had to flee is because..." Tang Hao shook his head, then looked down at Tang San from above and said, "That girl is not human!"
"Not human?"
Tang San was completely bewildered.
Was Dad insulting Xiao Wu? Otherwise, why would he say she was not human?
"That girl is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who took human form!"
Tang Hao stated it bluntly.
"What?!"
Tang San could not help crying out.
At the same time,
His six years of experiences with Xiao Wu flooded into his mind.
Thinking back on all the ways she had differed from ordinary people,
Tang San suddenly realized that if Xiao Wu was not actually human, but rather a soul beast that had taken human form, then everything made sense.
But even if Xiao Wu was a soul beast in human form, why would she have to flee? He would not hurt her.
