Although Guangling did not understand what the butterfly effect was.

He wanted to prove that Qingluan Douluo was not stupid at all!

"Hello, Fifth Grandfather. I am the Great Enshrined's newly acknowledged god-granddaughter. My surname is Shen, and my name is Nuonuo."

When Shen Nuonuo saw Qingluan Douluo arrive, she introduced herself.

"Hello. Eh, no, no—when did Big Brother take in a god-granddaughter? How come I didn't know?"

After hearing this, Qingluan Douluo froze in place, his eyes filled with astonishment.

How had Big Brother gained a granddaughter after he had not seen him for only half a day?

"Half an hour ago." Shen Nuonuo gave a polite smile.

Qingluan Douluo still did not believe it. He crouched down and stared at Qian Renxue. "Little Xue, is what she said true?"

"Yes, it's true. Grandpa just took Sister in as his god-granddaughter." Qian Renxue threw her arms around Qingluan Douluo's neck and answered firmly.

Qingluan Douluo deftly picked Qian Renxue up and said to Shen Nuonuo, "Since Big Brother has acknowledged you, you will be one of us from the Elder Hall from now on."

"If anyone dares bully you, just give them the name Qingluan Douluo!"

Qingluan Douluo's final words were exceptionally domineering!

Shen Nuonuo immediately took a liking to him, feeling that Qingluan Douluo was truly quite a good person.

Well, this Fifth Grandfather looks like he is not very bright, but he is still a pretty good person.

But during the future battle at Jialing Pass, Qingluan Douluo would pursue the victory and accidentally shoot Yu Xiaogang through the heart with an arrow, knocking him off his horse. Yet Yu Xiaogang really was lucky—he still did not die after that.

Tsk tsk, having the protagonist's halo really is different. A peak Douluo could not kill a Soul Elder.

"What?"

Qingluan Douluo gripped his palm hard, trying to wake himself up. He was certain he had heard correctly.

This Shen Nuonuo was saying it in her heart.

In the future battle at Jialing Pass, he would have already unleashed a soul skill and successfully struck his enemy.

Yet he still would not be able to kill a Soul Elder?

Qingluan Douluo did not believe it. It was simply too absurd. No matter which soul skill he used, it was not something a mere Soul Elder could withstand.

How could he be so incompetent!

Qian Renxue also looked utterly petrified.

Although she was young, she understood the gap in levels.

A Soul Elder and a Titled Douluo were as far apart as heaven and earth.

Still, Qingluan Douluo is rather bold. He clearly knows Yu Xiaogang's identity. Tsk tsk tsk.

Qingluan Douluo snorted upon hearing that.

Of course, it was not directed at her, but at Yu Xiaogang.

How could he not know Yu Xiaogang?

A fellow who would never break through Soul Elder for his entire life.

If he killed him in the future, then so be it. What of it?

"Your name is Shen Nuonuo, right? From now on, call me Fifth Grandfather, just like Little Xue does!"

Qingluan Douluo looked exceedingly proud.

"Hello, Fifth Grandfather. I wonder if there is..."

Shen Nuonuo pursed her lips. Then, facing Qingluan Douluo, the corners of her mouth suddenly curled into a smile.

"Is there what?" Qingluan Douluo subconsciously set Qian Renxue down from his arms.

Qian Renxue was very clever and immediately picked up where Shen Nuonuo had left off. "Fifth Grandfather, you should give Sister Nuonuo a meeting gift! Dummy!"

Mm, Grandpa probably has not given Sister Nuonuo a gift yet.

I must make Grandpa make it up to her!

Little Xue, you can be taught!

Ah, now that I'm in this unfamiliar place, it will be hard to get things done without some money.

Shen Nuonuo had been too embarrassed to ask Qian Daoliu for money just now. The system's Points could not be exchanged for money.

When Qian Renxue heard Sister Nuonuo praise her, she beamed.

In the future, I must earn money for Sister to spend!

Qingluan Douluo had not known what to give her at first, but upon hearing this, he felt that his chance to show himself had arrived.

He took a Black Card out of his storage Soul Tool and waved his hand grandly. "Here, Nuonuo. This is Fifth Grandfather's meeting gift for you."

Shen Nuonuo accepted it with a smile and thanked him sincerely. "Thank you, Fifth Grandfather."

She had money in this world now.

Without money, she truly had no sense of security.

Money made money. In the future, she would repay Qingluan Douluo more than twice over.

"Mm, you're welcome. From now on, you are my granddaughter too." After saying that, Qingluan Douluo vanished directly.

Hehe, he was going to show off to Old Six and Old Seven!

"Sister Nuonuo, let's go upstairs!"

"Okay."

Shen Nuonuo took Qian Renxue's little hand, and the two of them climbed all the way to the second floor.

Though it was only the second floor, there were a great many steps.

"I'm so tired." Shen Nuonuo was slightly out of breath. Turning her head, she saw that Qian Renxue was only a little sweaty, her breathing steady, and could not help asking, "Little Xue, don't you get tired from climbing stairs every day?"

"Not at all!"

"You'll get used to it!"

Qian Renxue had been walking steadily ever since she was three years old. Over the past two years, she had often run back and forth through the Elder Hall.

"Fine, then!" Shen Nuonuo suddenly felt a little inferior. When it came to climbing stairs, she actually could not compare to a child under five!

Qian Renxue brought Shen Nuonuo to her room.

She opened the door!

Shen Nuonuo looked at the pink-toned room.

Her first impression was that it was quite large. By rough estimate, it had to be at least a hundred square meters, and it was filled with all kinds of books.

To the right of the bed stood broad, sturdy bookshelves. They had all been carefully designed so that even a child could reach and open them.

There were so many books that she did not even want to comment on it. Could a child under five really have the patience to read so many books?

No matter how intelligent Qian Renxue was, she probably had not even learned all the characters yet, and her ability to comprehend was limited.

Shen Nuonuo believed that children should play properly at an age meant for playing.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji truly did not know how to raise a child. Qian Renxue was not even five, yet she already faintly gave off the feeling of being a little adult.

Shen Nuonuo walked farther inside and spotted a yellow hardcover book on the second shelf. It was thin rather than thick, so she curiously took it out.

It read:

"Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul"

Author: Yu Xiaogang

"Little Xue, have you read this book?" Shen Nuonuo waved Qian Renxue over and pointed at the book as she asked.

Little Xue, don't read this. It really leads people astray.

Qian Renxue took a careful look and shook her head. "I haven't."

"Mm, that's good. You don't need to read this book." Shen Nuonuo tucked it at the very bottom.

"Why?"

Qian Renxue could not help becoming curious.

"Because it's unsuitable for children." Shen Nuonuo spouted nonsense with a straight face.

"But Sister, aren't you a child too? You're only a little more than three years older than Little Xue." In Qian Renxue's mind, anyone under twelve was a child.

"I'm older than you! So you have to listen to me!" Shen Nuonuo rubbed her head.

"Oh, okay, then I'll listen to Sister!"

Qian Renxue did not actually want to read those books either. Someone had placed them on her shelves two months ago, but she had never opened any of them.

"Sister, wait!" After saying that, Qian Renxue walked to the dressing table to the left of the bed, apparently wanting to get something. Since she was not tall enough, she picked up a small stool and stepped onto it.

Shen Nuonuo was curious about what she wanted to do, so she did not stop her.

It was not because she was unconcerned that Qian Renxue might fall. Rather, the floor was covered in rugs made from special materials, so even if she slipped and fell, it would not hurt.
