Memories of Qian Renxue from Four Years Ago

At this time, Qian Renxue was thirteen years old. (The ages in this book have been adjusted. The protagonist was the same age as Tang San, while Qian Renxue was originally around nine or ten years older than Tang San; here, she was changed to be seven years older than him.)

She stood around 1.65 meters tall, with a slender figure, snow-white skin, a straight nose, slightly narrow phoenix eyes, and a peerlessly beautiful face that already carried a hint of majesty.

Her body had long since begun to develop as well. While she did not possess Zhu Zhuqing's terrifyingly voluptuous figure, she was still quite well-endowed.

By visual estimate, she was close to a C cup! Once fully developed, she would surely be C-cup plus!

She had grown up. She no longer seemed like the innocent, adorable, pure little girl Lin Yu had known four years ago.

Seeing Qian Renxue again, memories of the past suddenly flooded Lin Yu's mind.

That had happened four years ago.

Lin Yu had been two years old, and Qian Renxue had been nine.

That year, Qian Daoliu had brought Qian Renxue to the Angel Clan's territory, hoping that the Angel Clan's soul masters could serve as Qian Renxue's sparring partners, competing, exchanging moves, and fighting with her to temper her.

That was when Lin Yu had first met Qian Renxue.

Although Qian Renxue had suffered cold treatment from her mother, Bibi Dong, and had even been disliked and loathed by her, she had still often worn a smile on her face—adorable, gentle, and kind.

Qian Renxue trained within the Angel Legion, so Lin Yu was often able to see her.

At that time, Lin Yu had been too young to do much of anything. Every day, all he did was play, so whenever he got bored, he would often run over and sit nearby, watching Qian Renxue spar with the clan members.

Over time, Qian Renxue and Lin Yu became familiar with each other.

During breaks, Qian Renxue would even come over to hold him. His little face had been kissed by her, and she often teased Lin Yu for fun.

Back then, Qian Renxue had said something Lin Yu still vaguely remembered. She had said, "Little brother, why do you come sit here every day to watch Sister Xue'er? Do you like Sister Xue'er?"

What Lin Yu had actually thought was, There are no phones to play with in this world. It's so boring. Watching a pretty little girl fight is pretty interesting.

But he could not possibly say that, so he had replied, "Mm-hm~ I like you!"

Qian Renxue had hooked a finger under Lin Yu's tiny nose and said, "Then when you grow up, how about Sister Xue'er marries you?"

Lin Yu had casually replied, "Okay! When I grow up, I'll marry you."

Lin Yu knew Qian Renxue had merely said it casually at the time, and he had merely answered casually.

No one would have taken it seriously.

However, Lin Yu's speech development had not been complete at the time. When he replied with "I'll marry you," his pronunciation had been unclear, and he could not say it properly.

That made Qian Renxue burst into giggles.

That smile had been so sincere and radiant that it left a deep impression on Lin Yu.

Yet that was also the last time Lin Yu had seen such a sincere, genuinely happy smile on Qian Renxue's face!

The next day, Qian Renxue had been taken away by Qian Daoliu.

A few days later, Spirit Hall announced that Qian Renxue had died young. At that time, Lin Yu knew Qian Renxue was going to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

She would give up her childhood, her hobbies, the things she wanted to do, and even her personality and gender, enduring humiliation and heavy burdens as she disguised herself as a man.

Lin Yu understood that once Qian Renxue left, he might never again see that innocent, adorable, kind Qian Renxue.

When he saw her again, she might be the Qian Renxue who was patient and restrained, decisive, deeply calculating, and placed profit above all else.

Lin Yu withdrew from his thoughts.

At this moment, Qian Renxue had already thrown herself into Qian Daoliu's arms.

The bond between grandfather and granddaughter was profound.

"Grandfather! Xue'er missed you so much!"

"Xiao Xue, Grandfather missed you too!"

Seeing this, Lin Yu tactfully said, "Um, Teacher, should your disciple step aside for a moment?"

"Silly child, why would you need to avoid this? Come here. Let Teacher introduce you."

"Wait! Disciple? Teacher? Grandfather, you actually accepted a disciple!" Qian Renxue was greatly surprised and puzzled. "Grandfather, you have never taken a disciple in your entire life. What is this brat capable of?"

"Xiao Xue, don't underestimate him."

"Come, you two should get to know each other first." Qian Daoliu placed one hand on Lin Yu's shoulder and the other on Qian Renxue's, smiling as he said, "Xiao Yu, she is Teacher's granddaughter, Qian Renxue."

"Xiao Xue, this child is named Lin Yu."

"Lin... Lin Yu, could you be...?" Qian Renxue hesitated, seeming to remember something.

"That's right. I'm Lin Yu of the Angel Clan—the one you said you would marry once I grew up."

Qian Renxue smiled. "Hehe, so it was you, you little brat. I didn't expect you to still remember that."

Now it was Qian Daoliu's turn to be confused. "Wait, you two already knew each other?"

"Grandfather, have you forgotten? Back when you brought me to the Angel Clan to train." Qian Renxue briefly recounted what had happened between her and Lin Yu four years ago.

"So that was it. I never expected these two children to share such an experience. Excellent, excellent! This will make it even easier for me to bring Xiao Xue and Xiao Yu together in marriage." Qian Daoliu was delighted inside.

Although the marriage contract had already been arranged, if the two truly did not like each other, he would not force them.

So, Qian Daoliu intended to do everything he could to bring them together.

"Grandpa, you still haven't told me—what's so special about this kid that caught your eye?"

With a hint of pride, Qian Daoliu said, "Xiao Xue! He possesses a Divine-level Martial Soul just like our Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and he is an Inheritor of God!"

"W-What!? An Inheritor of God!" Qian Renxue was stunned when she heard that.

She had guessed that Lin Yu might be extraordinary, but she had never imagined he would be this incredible!

"That's right. Xiao Yu possesses unmatched talent. The moment he awakened his Martial Soul, he alerted the gods and obtained the Divine Position Inheritance of seven gods in one stroke."

"!!!"

Qian Renxue's eyes widened, and even her soft pink lips trembled slightly in shock. "The inheritances of seven gods! Heavens! How can someone be this terrifying!?"

"I never thought that little brat from back then would be this amazing..."

"No wonder Grandpa took him as his disciple."

"Although Xiao Yu is immensely gifted, he has only just awakened his Martial Soul and begun cultivating. Right now, he is like a blank sheet of paper, with far too much left for him to learn and improve upon." Qian Daoliu continued, quietly making his calculations.

"Xiao Xue, for the next few days, I'll have you personally teach him combat techniques."

"Me?"

Qian Renxue understood perfectly what an Inheritor of God meant to Spirit Hall, and just how important one was.

Spirit Hall had remained prosperous for thousands of years without decline because it had received the blessings of the Angel God.

If Lin Yu became a god in the future, he would likewise bless Spirit Hall.

Thus, Qian Renxue naturally intended to build a good relationship with Lin Yu. At the same time, she wanted to see just how powerful his Divine-level Martial Soul was.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. During these five days that I'm home, I'll make sure to guide him properly."

"Good. Then the two of you should get along well!"

Leaving those final words behind, Qian Daoliu departed first. Only Lin Yu and Qian Renxue remained in the training room.
