Spirit Hall Destroyed?

"We're not close. More accurately, I don't know the Sixth Enshrined or the Seventh Enshrined at all." Shen Nuonuo looked utterly honest.

Qingluan Douluo: ...

Were kids these days all this familiar with strangers?

"Third Enshrined, is that not okay?"

Shen Nuonuo was getting a little nervous too.

This was so mortifying!

Qingluan Douluo pursed his lips. "It's fine!"

If the child was not afraid of embarrassment, what was he afraid of!

"Big Sister, you've never shown me the tea leaves!" Qian Renxue pouted jealously, puffing out her little cheeks and planting her hands on her hips.

Shen Nuonuo pinched Qian Renxue's cheek. "Then come watch too. Wouldn't that mean I'm showing you as well, meow?"

Qingluan Douluo silently watched Shen Nuonuo fool Qian Renxue, while Little Xue foolishly thought it made perfect sense.

"Let's go!" After soothing the child, Shen Nuonuo urged the still-dazed Qingluan Douluo.

Qingluan Douluo gave a hum and walked ahead to lead the way.

After walking for around ten minutes, they arrived at Qianjun Douluo's room.

"Old Six!"

Qingluan Douluo knocked on the door.

Hearing the peculiar form of address "Old Six," Shen Nuonuo secretly laughed beside him.

So that's how the Enshrined addressed one another. You old six, that's hilarious. Qianjun Douluo really had it rough, being ranked exactly sixth.

"Third Brother, I'm bathing right now. What is it?" Qianjun Douluo's steady voice came from inside.

"I brought the granddaughter Big Brother recognized some time ago for you all to meet."

The corner of Qingluan Douluo's mouth twitched. Why was Old Six taking a bath so early in the morning?

"Alright, wait a moment."

"We'll wait for now," Qingluan Douluo said to Shen Nuonuo.

Shen Nuonuo found it strange. "Why not go ask the Seventh Enshrined first?"

Qingluan Douluo fell silent. He was a little reluctant to expose Little Seven.

"Because Seventh Grandpa is definitely sleeping in! And he gets grumpy when he wakes up! Only Sixth Grandpa or Grandpa can get him out of bed!"

Qian Renxue had far fewer reservations and giggled.

Shen Nuonuo rubbed her forehead. She had not considered that.

A few minutes later, Qianjun Douluo opened the door and came out.

Qian Jun had black hair tied in a bun, grayish-blue eyes, and a scar over his right eye. He was handsome and tall, clad in golden armor beneath a purple Enshrined robe, with a purple headscarf that represented his identity as one of Spirit Hall's Enshrined.

"Third Brother, Little Xue, Miss."

Qianjun Douluo looked at the three outside the door and gestured for them to enter.

Shen Nuonuo and Qian Renxue sat together on the sofa to the left, while Qingluan Douluo sat with Qian Jun.

Qianjun Douluo's room was spacious, but its style was simple, with only a few conspicuous decorations.

"Miss, hello. I am Qianjun Douluo, the Sixth Enshrined of the Elder Hall."

Qianjun Douluo took the initiative to speak.

Shen Nuonuo was somewhat restrained. "Hello, Sixth Enshrined."

Qianjun Douluo and Shen Nuonuo stared at each other.

Then everyone fell silent.

Ahhh, how am I supposed to bring this up?

It's over. I was fine just now, but the moment I met the Sixth Enshrined's eyes, I started feeling awkward. Will this tea art demonstration make them think I'm a complete idiot?!

Shen Nuonuo screamed madly in her heart, annoyed at herself for being so useless.

Hearing the voice, Qianjun Douluo's body stiffened slightly. His personality was usually calm and composed.

But what had he just heard?

Miss's lips had not moved. She did not seem to have spoken at all!

Was it just his imagination?

"Old Six, Miss wants to demonstrate tea art for you and Old Seven. Is that convenient?"

Seeing that Shen Nuonuo could not bring herself to say it, Qingluan Douluo spoke up, conveniently easing the atmosphere.

"Third Brother, you too?" Qianjun Douluo was astonished. Could that just now have not been an illusion? Had it really been Miss's inner thoughts? And Third Brother could hear them too?

Qingluan Douluo gave him a deep look. "Yes."

What kind of riddle are these two playing at?

The voice sounded again, and Qianjun Douluo confirmed once more that both he and Third Brother could hear Shen Nuonuo's thoughts.

Though he did not know why they could hear them, he decided to let things take their course.

"I have no problem with it. Old Seven is still asleep. Miss, are you in a hurry?"

Qianjun Douluo adjusted himself and spoke calmly.

"Not at all," Shen Nuonuo hurriedly replied.

Finding herself bored, Qian Renxue ran over to a nearby table to play with a puzzle.

Shen Nuonuo felt that Qianjun Douluo was truly a very nice person.

The Sixth Enshrined really is such a good person!

Oh, right, I remember now. Qian Gu Dongfang, the Spirit Pagoda Master and one of the villains in Douluo 3, seemed to be a descendant from Qianjun Douluo's family line.

I remember the Qian Gu Clan's inherited martial soul being the Coiled Dragon Staff. It was said that every soul master in their clan possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

And once their cultivation exceeded three rings, a dragon soul would accompany them in battle. At the Titled Douluo level, they could even summon a true dragon to aid them in combat.

Qian Jun first heard her praise and secretly nodded. Then he heard that one of Qian Gu's descendants in Shen Nuonuo's thoughts would actually become a villain in the future?

He too was a descendant of the Qian Gu Clan. Qian Gu was the main branch, while his mother belonged to one of its collateral branches. When he awakened the Coiled Dragon Staff at the age of six, his talent had been extraordinary. When he grew up, his marriage was not accepted by the clan. His mother had been proud and stubborn; the clan wanted her to marry another, but she refused and severed all ties with them.

His father had died in battle protecting his mother and the child in her womb. After his mother gave birth to the two brothers, he took his mother's surname, while his younger brother Jiang Mo took their father's surname. Before she died, their mother entrusted them to the Former Elder Hall Master, Qian Daoliu's Father.

The Qian Gu Clan had never known that the two brothers had become Enshrined of Spirit Hall, and he had no intention of telling them.

The Qian Gu Clan's ancestor's martial soul had originally been nothing more than an ordinary long staff. But after discovering a sleeping Giant Dragon, the Giant Dragon awakened.

It had intended to devour their ancestor, but sensing that its lifespan was nearing its end, it made a contract with the Qian Gu Clan. It transformed into a dragon soul and entered the Qian Gu Clan ancestor's martial soul, continuing its life through the inheritance of that martial soul.

Shen Nuonuo's inner thoughts continued.

The Sixth and Seventh Enshrined's ending in the original story should have been retiring into seclusion with Little Xue, right?

I remember that thirty years later, during the Battle of Jialing Pass, Qian Daoliu died for Qian Renxue, while everyone else died in battle. Spirit Hall was finished just like that.

Qingluan Douluo and Qianjun Douluo were both shocked by Shen Nuonuo's thoughts. They sucked in sharp breaths, both wanting to ask Shen Nuonuo what exactly was going on.

Their mouths moved, but no sound came out.

Azure Luan and Qian Jun looked at each other, both filled with disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Shen Nuonuo asked, seeing the strange expressions on Azure Luan and Qian Jun's faces.

"Nuonuo, we're fine. We just thought of something sad."

Qingluan Douluo was the first to recover. Afraid of frightening Shen Nuonuo, he restored the smile on his face.

Yet sorrow surged through his heart.

In the future Battle of Jialing Pass, did Big Brother, Second Elder, Fourth Brother, and Fifth Brother die too?

How could this happen? Spirit Hall had so many Titled Douluo and such deep foundations. How could it possibly end in destruction?
