Jealous Qian Daoliu

Back then.

Le Ling was still on the Five Elements Continent when she traveled to the Douluo Continent through the Gate of Time and Space her imperial father had opened for her.

Shortly after arriving on the continent, she happened to encounter the Ning family's carriage. That was how Le Ling came to know Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong.

Ning Fengzhi could tell from Le Ling's noble bearing that this young girl was no ordinary person, so he took the initiative to invite her to visit his sect.

Before coming here, Le Ling had heard her imperial father mention Spirit Hall, the two great empires, and the three sect forces of the Douluo Continent.

So when she heard Ning Fengzhi invite her to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was curious to see it and agreed.

Le Ling stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for three days. Afterward, she said she wanted to travel through the Star Dou Great Forest, and Ning Fengzhi arranged a carriage to take her there.

On the day of departure, Chen Xin—who always acted as though no one else mattered—actually volunteered to personally escort her to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Le Ling did not mind, so she agreed!

However, Chen Xin had only escorted her to the small town near the Star Dou Great Forest before leaving. He had not continued on with her.

Later, when she entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone, she met Qian Daoliu.

Several years later, Le Ling returned to the Douluo Continent to find Qian Daoliu, only to see that he had entered a political marriage. Heartbroken, she left Spirit City.

Just as she walked out of the city in sorrow, she unexpectedly ran into Ning Fengzhi and the other two again, fresh from attending the wedding.

She worried that returning to the Five Elements Continent in such a heartbroken state would draw her imperial father's attention, so she went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

She planned to leave the Douluo Continent only after her emotions had settled.

Many years later.

Today, she had come to the Star Dou Great Forest with Qian Daoliu in order to obtain a soul ring.

She had not expected to encounter Chen Xin and Gu Rong again.

Le Ling smiled and asked, "Brother Chen, Brother Gu, have you been well these past few years? Is Sect Master Ning well?"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo walked over to her.

"We've both been well."

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Chen Xin's usually expressionless face.

"That's good."

After speaking, Le Ling noticed the young girl standing behind them and asked curiously, "Who is this pretty little girl?"

Chen Xin remembered that when Le Ling had visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect all those years ago, Rong Rong had not even been born yet.

He immediately beckoned to the girl and introduced her. "She is the sect master's daughter, Rong Rong. Her Soul Power Level reached Level 20 a few days ago, so we brought her here to obtain a soul ring."

At that moment, Ning Rongrong obediently hurried over.

Chen Xin then introduced Le Ling to Ning Rongrong. "Rong Rong, this is our friend, Le Ling."

"Hello, Sister Le Ling~"

Ning Rongrong greeted her sweetly while sizing up this beautiful older sister in her heart.

After all, there were not many people worthy of such an enthusiastic introduction from her Grandpa Jian!

"Hello, Rong Rong. How old are you this year?"

"Big Sister, I'm eleven this year."

Hearing that the little girl was already eleven, Le Ling sighed. "Sect Master Ning's daughter is already eleven. I can't believe so many years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

"Yes, it's been so many years since we last met. Have you been well?"

Chen Xin could not help asking, "You could have told us before leaving back then. Why did you leave alone after only leaving a letter?"

He recalled meeting Le Ling again outside Spirit City that year. He did not know what had happened to her, but she had looked deeply sorrowful.

At the time, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong were three grown men, so it was not appropriate for them to pry into a young girl's affairs. They could only bring her back to the sect first.

During the days she spent at the sect, they discovered that she no longer had the lively and adorable personality she had when they first met.

Instead, she had become quiet and withdrawn.

Chen Xin had taken the initiative to care for her and chat with her. During those conversations, he had roughly guessed that she was so heartbroken because of the person she loved.

But he could not bring himself to ask what exactly had happened!

When Le Ling heard him mention that year, the smile on her face suddenly faded.

"I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to leave without telling you."

She did not explain, because she did not want to bring up what had happened that year.

When Chen Xin and Gu Rong saw the sudden dimness in her expression, they knew she did not want to talk about it and did not ask further.

"Xiao Le, do you have time to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? The sect master hasn't seen you in many years either."

Chen Xin rarely took the initiative to extend an invitation.

Gu Rong, standing beside him, gave his old companion a meaningful glance and chuckled to himself.

Ning Rongrong also felt that Grandpa Jian seemed different from usual at this moment!

He had become a little too enthusiastic, hadn't he?!

Before Le Ling could respond, someone stepped out from the grass behind her.

"She's not free!"

Qian Daoliu strode forward expressionlessly, grabbed her hand, and took her away without hesitation.

"Y-You... what are you doing? Let go of me!"

Le Ling struggled.

When Chen Xin and Gu Rong saw who it was, both of them froze!

Qian Daoliu, the Great Offering of Spirit Hall!!!

Le Ling actually knew him?!

Gu Rong watched the two leave and said to Chen Xin beside him, "From the looks of it, they're quite close!"

Chen Xin did not respond to his old companion.

But the smile on his face had vanished, and his usual indifferent expression had returned.

"Do you think she was so heartbroken back then because of Qian Daoliu?"

"We met her outside Spirit City, and that just happened to be the day Qian Daoliu got married!"

Seeing that his old companion did not respond, Gu Rong continued pouring salt on the wound.

"Will you die if you don't take a jab at me for one day?"

Chen Xin turned around with a faintly angry expression, tossed out those words, and walked toward the soul beast he had knocked unconscious earlier.

"Rong Rong, come over. Kill the soul beast and absorb the soul ring!"

Gu Rong and Ning Rongrong looked at each other, shrugged at the same time, and walked toward the soul beast behind them.

Though Ning Rongrong was young, she had already noticed that Grandpa Jian had feelings for that beautiful older sister!

She had never expected this old iron tree of Grandpa Jian's to finally blossom!

Elsewhere.

After Qian Daoliu forcibly took Le Ling away.

She struggled all the way, but she simply did not have enough strength to break free from the man's large hand gripping hers!

"Qian Daoliu! What does it have to do with you whether I go visit them or not!"

"What right do you have to interfere in my affairs!!!"

Le Ling snapped at him angrily.

Qian Daoliu held her hand and walked ahead expressionlessly. No matter how she struggled, he refused to let go.

When he heard her questioning what it had to do with him and what right he had to interfere with her affairs, a trace of anger rose in his heart.

The man abruptly stopped, turned around, and tugged her in front of him by the hand.

"If I can't interfere in your affairs, who can! Chen Xin?!"

"You're crazy!"

Le Ling shot back angrily, "What does it have to do with him!!"

Qian Daoliu directly wrapped an arm around her waist and asked, "How do you know Chen Xin?"

When Le Ling had been talking to Chen Xin and Gu Rong earlier, he had remained hidden in the nearby grass and listened.

But as he listened, he realized that Chen Xin actually had feelings for his Ling'er!!

"Why should I tell you? Let go of me!"

Le Ling struggled, repeatedly reaching out to push him away.

Seeing that she was unwilling to tell him and was resisting him so fiercely, Qian Daoliu thought of how she knew Chen Xin.

Anger instantly flared in his heart. He directly pinned both her hands behind her back, held her head in place, and kissed her without hesitation!
