Angel God's Inheritance
After leaving the hotel, Su Cheng and Qian Renxue wandered around outside for a long time before returning to the Spirit City.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving here, they saw Bibi Dong with Xie Yue, Yan, Hu Liena, and others waiting not far from the city gate.
The Spirit Hall Soul Master who were originally patrolling the city walls had all disappeared.
Su Cheng was stunned for a moment when he saw Bibi Dong with a gloomy face not far away, and the three young people standing silently with their heads down behind her.
Judging from their appearance, these people seemed to have been waiting here for quite some time.
In his original calculations, the effects of that Mind-Calming Medicine should last for most of the day.
Even if there were some errors, the other party shouldn't have realized it so early.
Bibi Dong stared at the man and woman returning hand in hand and said coldly, "Where did you two go last night?"
As he spoke, his hands, which were behind his back, clenched tightly, and a pang of emotion shot through him.
"Us--"
Before Su Cheng could even open his mouth, Qian Renxue, who was standing next to him, spoke up first, drowning out his voice, and said to Bibi Dong, "This has nothing to do with you."
Although she is not as unrestrained as her second personality, she is still extremely assertive when facing others, and she would never bow down to Bibi Dong.
As the cold, blunt words fell, their eyes met, their equally forceful and oppressive gazes colliding in mid-air.
At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the biting winter wind seemed to grow even colder.
Under the aura created by the two women, the people behind Bibi Dong all remained silent and trembling, keeping their eyes down and secretly lamenting their predicament.
Over the past few years, the two of them have often made things unpleasant for each other in public, and Xie Yue and the others have gotten used to it.
But habit only prevents them from being surprised; the resulting worry and fear do not diminish in the slightest.
Seeing Qian Renxue's confrontational attitude, Bibi Dong's suppressed anger was instantly ignited. She gritted her teeth and was about to rebuke her.
Seeing this, Su Cheng quickly spoke up, "Your His Holiness the Pope, now that everyone is here, shall we make preparations and set off as soon as possible?"
As he spoke, he subtly conveyed a subtle, almost imperceptible Soul Power through his voice, easing the atmosphere in the room.
The tense atmosphere eased slightly as he changed the subject.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, their eyes flickered slightly, and then they both fell silent.
Xie Yue and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and unanimously cast grateful glances at Su Cheng.
It's good that a fight didn't break out.
If these two really fight, they'll probably be the first to suffer.
They didn't know Su Cheng's true strength, and they felt that his courage to speak up at this time was extraordinary, and that he had done them a great favor.
The relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong is now common knowledge within the Spirit Hall, but Bibi Dong's temper has never been very good.
Even Hu Liena, who was closest to her, was always careful with her words and actions, and never dared to provoke her when she was angry.
Su Cheng didn't think too much about it. He nodded slightly to Bibi Dong in greeting and then accompanied Qian Renxue toward the city gate.
Arguments between the two were already commonplace.
Since Qian Renxue returned to Spirit City from the Heaven Dou Empire several years ago, they have been in a state of constant confrontation.
At that time, one of them was busy preparing for the Spirit Master Competition, and the other was busy preparing for the Spirit Master Competition and making plans for the continent. They also regarded each other as crazy and often ignored each other's existence.
It wasn't until the Spirit Master Competition Finale that Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong began to confront each other directly.
On the surface, Qian Renxue was completely disappointed with Bibi Dong and the others.
However, Su Cheng felt that deep down she might not be able to completely let go of this blood ties.
Watching the man and woman return to Spirit City side by side, Bibi Dong opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything more.
It's perfectly normal to spend a short time together before parting ways, and she had no reason to object.
On the other side, Su Cheng, who was returning to the city and heading towards the Elder Hall, turned his head to look at Qian Renxue, whose face was slightly gloomy, and spoke in a calm and gentle voice.
"Actually, if you have something to say, there's no need to keep it to yourself; just say it out loud."
"Bibi Dong has also changed quite a bit this year."
"If you can't bring yourself to say it, tell me what you're thinking and I can pass it on for you, or you can talk to your grandfather."
Su Cheng knew that her thoughts were different from those of the other consciousness within her.
That person truly had no feelings whatsoever towards Bibi Dong.
But Xiao Xue in front of me has a much more complex and delicate mind.
Although it wasn't particularly deep, there was still some obsession involved.
"I have nothing to say to her," Qian Renxue shook her head.
Seeing this, Su Cheng stopped talking.
Aside from the parties involved, it's not appropriate for others to interfere in such matters. When people know each other extremely well, saying something like this is already the limit.
How she deals with these inner conflicts is up to her own decision.
Only she herself can truly judge the weight of the gains and losses involved.
"Thank you, teacher."
Qian Renxue turned to look at Su Cheng, a bright smile appearing on her face.
Whether the rift between him and Bibi Dong can be mended, and whether there are other misunderstandings, are all just minor concerns.
Compared to the person beside him, those things were utterly insignificant.
Why do you have to say such things to me?
Su Cheng smiled and stroked her long golden hair.
"Don't overthink it, you've done enough."
"Xiao Xue, come here to me."
After entering the Elder Hall alone, just as she passed the enormous pure gold statue of an Angel God in the grand hall, a gentle and mellow male voice reached Qian Renxue's ears.
Hearing the sound, she wasn't surprised. She calmly walked to the door of the room at the far end of the Elder Hall and then pushed the door open and went inside.
As usual, Qian Daoliu stood near the window in the room, dressed in a gray robe. His neat black hair was draped over his shoulders, and his handsome face was gentle and peaceful.
"Grandfather."
"Su Cheng and the others left?"
Looking at Qian Renxue, who was dressed in white, Qian Daoliu felt a mix of emotions.
To be honest, even after his previous conversation with Su Cheng, he was trying his best to treat the two Qian Renxue equally and place them in the same position in his heart.
But compared to that, he still prefers to spend time with his granddaughter.
The other person was far too aggressive.
Not only did she display a sharp and wicked demeanor in her daily words and actions, but her gaze towards him was also cold and indifferent, completely different from the Xiao Xue he knew, which made him feel very awkward.
Although Qian Renxue in front of me has changed a lot compared to before.
More reserved, calmer, and rarely showing too much emotion in front of himself anymore.
But at least there was some warmth in his eyes; he wasn't as ruthless as the other person.
"We've left." After hearing Qian Daoliu's question, Qian Renxue nodded. "She went to that place called 'Slaughter City' with Bibi Dong."
Qian Daoliu didn't pay much attention to what he heard.
Actually, he doesn't care much about these things.
Or rather, apart from Qian Renxue and the Spirit Hall, he doesn't really care about anything else right now.
As long as the Spirit Hall under Bibi Dong's control doesn't encounter any major problems, he never interferes too much.
However, he was clearly still extremely concerned about matters concerning Qian Renxue.
Observing his granddaughter's expression, Qian Daoliu asked, "Did you quarrel with your mother again?"
The other person clearly came back with Su Cheng, but seemed to be in a bad mood.
Aside from Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu couldn't think of anyone else in this Spirit City who would dare to provoke her.
"Not really." Qian Renxue glanced at her grandfather, her expression turning somewhat impatient, and said indifferently, "Please don't mention that person again."
"Sigh." Qian Daoliu sighed helplessly.
He had always found the relationship between these two people to be tricky.
Knowing the hidden truth behind it all, he was even more at a loss as to how to resolve the various conflicts and entanglements.
However, he had other ways to change Qian Renxue's mood at this moment.
He immediately changed the subject, asking, "How was your outing with Su Cheng last night?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's fair face flushed crimson.
Although I didn't want to show it so obviously, I tried my best to suppress my emotions.
But the scenes that happened last night still uncontrollably surfaced in my mind and wouldn't leave.
He stammered and said in a low voice, "It's... it's alright."
Have you ever considered having a child?
Upon hearing such a blunt question, Qian Renxue completely lost her composure, her face turning bright red as if it were about to bleed.
She even felt as if a lot of heat was rising from the top of her head.
"Grandfather!"
"Hehe."
Qian Daoliu a surge of relief.
It had been countless years since this granddaughter had spoken in such a coquettish tone.
Although her emotions at this moment were probably unrelated to me, they still sounded very warm and friendly.
"Never mind, I won't interfere in your affairs. However..." Qian Daoliu's expression became more serious as he said this.
Staring intently at Qian Renxue, "Are you truly determined not to attempt the Angel God's Inheritance?"
