Lu Jiang found it odd that Qian Renxue was facing away from him.
So, he called out to her:
"Um, what are you doing?"
Qian Renxue, upon being called, suddenly straightened up, as if startled.
However, what Lu Jiang didn't know was that Qian Renxue had chosen to turn her back to him to calm herself down.
Although everything she had done just now was to save him.
But after it was over, she couldn't help but think about the sensation from before.
This made her face feel like it was burning.
She didn't dare to look directly at the now-conscious Lu Jiang.
After calming herself down, Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
Then, she resumed her previous indifferent expression and turned around.
"We were able to save you from danger thanks to Miss Qian Renxue."
Lu Jiang was stunned upon hearing this.
Qian Renxue had saved him? He hadn't expected that.
"But, didn't I use up all my Soul Power before?"
"Qian Renxue, how did you replenish my Soul Power?"
In Lu Jiang's mind, replenishing Soul Power could only be done by slowly cultivating and accumulating it bit by bit.
Or by using various precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
However, he was now a bona fide Soul Elder, and replenishing his Soul Power reserves would probably require an astronomical amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Lu Jiang worried that he already owed Qian Renxue over a million Gold Soul Coins, and now he probably owed even more.
Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly upon hearing Lu Jiang's question, but she quickly returned to normal.
Then, she cleared her throat and said:
"Your Soul Power disappeared completely in an instant. Although I don't know what method you used, the situation at the time was indeed dangerous."
"I paid a great price to save you."
"So, you must realize your value in the future and not let me save you for nothing."
Lu Jiang was taken aback, then looked at Firefly beside him.
"Miss Qian Renxue indeed paid a great price."
For some reason, Lu Jiang always felt that Firefly's eyes were a little lonely when she said this.
Could it be that the price Qian Renxue paid was one he couldn't afford to repay?
How many jobs would he have to work to pay back the money?
Lu Jiang covered his face and shook his head, then asked Qian Renxue:
"What are your plans next?"
Qian Renxue glanced at Acheron behind Lu Jiang.
Then, she sighed and said:
"Our Martial Soul Hall's Elder was killed by Tang Hao."
"I must go back and deal with it. After all, it was a Titled Douluo, and a figure in the Elder Hall."
"If I don't give an explanation, I'm afraid they won't let it go."
Lu Jiang was surprised to hear this and said:
"So, you're from the Martial Soul Hall."
Qian Renxue was stunned. Lu Jiang hadn't discovered her identity?
She had originally thought that with the strength of the people behind Lu Jiang, they must have come from a large force that even the Martial Soul Hall didn't know about.
With his background, investigating her identity should be easy.
But she didn't expect that Lu Jiang really didn't know.
Didn't that mean she had revealed her own identity just now?
Qian Renxue helplessly covered her head, looking very pained.
However, Lu Jiang secretly smiled.
Of course, he knew Qian Renxue's identity, but seeing her tense face just now, he wanted to get her attention.
Then, Qian Renxue sighed and said:
"That's right, I'm from the Martial Soul Hall."
"I also happen to be friends with Xue Qinghe, so I recommended you to him."
"Now that you know my secret, I still know nothing about you."
"We've both saved each other's lives."
"It shouldn't be too much to ask for you to tell me about these people. Especially..."
Qian Renxue looked at Acheron as she said this.
Of all these people, Acheron was the one she was most curious about.
To be able to shatter a Titled Douluo's Martial Soul with a single move was not something an ordinary person could do.
Lu Jiang glanced back at Acheron somewhat awkwardly, then said, "This... is another one of my companions."
Qian Renxue knew at once that Lu Jiang was fobbing her off.
However, considering his talent and strength, Qian Renxue could only accept it.
"Sigh. I'll wait for you, until the day you want to tell me everything."
"Until then, take care."
After saying that, Qian Renxue left without looking back.
Leaving only Lu Jiang and his companions.
"Trailblazer, you scared me to death just now."
As soon as Qian Renxue left, Firefly pounced on him.
Was it his imagination? Why did Firefly feel particularly proactive today?
Lu Jiang looked at Firefly, puzzled.
"S-sorry. I didn't control my strength when I used my power."
Acheron said apologetically.
Lu Jiang waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's okay. Being strong isn't your fault. It's just that my power is too weak."
"It's my power that's limiting yours, don't worry, I'll definitely catch up to you."
Lu Jiang raised his head and looked at Acheron with confidence.
Acheron looked at Lu Jiang's eyes, slightly dazed.
The two of them just stared at each other like that.
Just then, Sparkle suddenly walked over at an inopportune moment and said, "Alright, alright, we all used our abilities in that battle just now, which has exhausted Little Grey Hair."
"To ease his burden, we should all go back and accumulate some action points."
After speaking, Sparkle looked at Firefly.
Firefly nodded, then looked at Lu Jiang with some concern.
"Trailblazer, we all need to go back and recover this time. There's no one to protect you."
"You must be careful."
Lu Jiang proudly showed Firefly his biceps, saying, "Don't worry, I'm already a Soul Elder now, no matter what."
"Even without you guys, I still have a God-tier Martial Soul and three Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings."
"Once I absorb that pseudo-Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, I'll officially enter the Soul Elder realm. There won't be many people on this continent who can threaten me."
Firefly nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.
Then, the three of them turned into streaks of light and entered his body.
Lu Jiang felt the power in his body and sighed.
"Sigh, still too weak, huh."
"Looks like I need to hurry up and increase my strength."
Lu Jiang thought of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Currently, if he wanted to increase his strength, that was the only place he could go.
If all went well, he should be able to get another chance to draw a card.
I wonder if he'll draw Kafka this time.
At the thought of Kafka's stunning beauty, Lu Jiang revealed a look of infatuation.
Just then, a sharp gaze came from the sky.
"It's you, come back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with me! Was the explosion related to you?!"
"Do you know that the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was almost destroyed!!!"
Jian Chen landed, staring at Lu Jiang with an unfriendly tone.
