Worth Recruiting

Qian Renxue pointed at herself and asked in confusion, "Why would I be a traitor? You're not joking, are you?"

###

She no longer cared that Bai Ying had called her mother and Hu Liena traitors, but when he said that she was a traitor to Spirit Hall, she could not understand. Spirit Hall was her family's enterprise and her home. How could she possibly be a traitor?

###

"At least I'm not one anymore after coming here. But there are still two traitors. Hu Liena can still be dealt with; she'll be easy to win back. Your mother's side will be troublesome, though!"

###

"What's wrong with her?" Qian Renxue asked.

###

Bai Ying waved his hand and said, "There are all kinds of problems with your mother!"

###

"She's a genius, a once-in-a-generation genius! She possesses Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, solved the conflict between Twin Martial Souls, and among all the Popes throughout history, what she has accomplished... It can't be called the best, but she's definitely among the top!"

###

Qian Renxue was somewhat displeased to hear Bai Ying praise Bibi Dong so much. "You're only saying nice things!"

###

Seeing Qian Renxue's expression, Bai Ying said, "Don't rush me. I'm not finished yet!"

###

"She has grand ambitions, such as unifying Douluo Continent! But... she was blinded by love! Her disciple Hu Liena is the same. She, too, will be blinded by love!"

###

He then muttered under his breath, "You too..."

###

"What did you say?" Qian Renxue interrupted Bai Ying after hearing "you too."

###

Bai Ying felt a little awkward when he saw that Qian Renxue had heard him, but he continued, "She's still hung up on that Yu Xiaogang! How pitiful~"

###

Bibi Dong, who was secretly listening nearby, thought, Pitiful?

Bai Ying continued, "She's still hung up on that hypocritical bastard Yu Xiaogang. How pitiful and pathetic. He kept saying that he loved your mother, but after Yu Xiaogang and your mother separated, he immediately went after her cousin, Liu Erlong. He didn't even spare a close relative! Talk about moving on without missing a beat."

###

Qian Renxue was furious when she heard this. Whether it was because that man owed Bibi Dong, or because he had not even spared his own cousin, she felt indescribably enraged. She abruptly rose and slammed her hand on the table. "Where is Yu Xiaogang? How could he do something like that? I'm going to kill him!"

###

Seeing Qian Renxue in this state, Bai Ying waved his hand, indicating that she should sit down. Only after Qian Renxue sat did he say, "That bastard Yu Xiaogang is currently just bumming meals and drinks wherever he goes."

###

"What a loser!" Qian Renxue scoffed.

###

"His disciple, Tang San—the son of Tang Hao—is our greatest enemy!"

###

Qian Renxue immediately said, "Then why not assassinate him now? The grandfathers in the Worship Hall, as well as all those Titled Douluo in her Palace of the Pope—how could they fear a mere Tang Hao?"

###

"I estimate he won't be that easy to kill. After all, he may currently be the favored child of this continent's destiny. I'll go meet him first. If he really is protected by destiny, then I'll have no choice but to destroy his fortune first."

###

Qian Renxue giggled when she heard this. "You? Even if you know his entire backstory, you're only a level-20 Soul Grandmaster right now! Can you beat Tang Hao?"

###

Bai Ying's eyes turned sharp, and he said in an indifferent tone, "That's why I need to reclaim my weapon first!"

###

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were both puzzled. When they had found Bai Ying back then, he had not had any weapon with him. Where had this weapon come from?

###

Bai Ying thought, Emmm... I can't exactly say it was given to me by the system, can I?

###

"Do you know where your weapon is?" Qian Renxue asked.

###

"I do. It isn't too far away."

###

"Then when are you planning to retrieve your weapon?"

###

"In a few days..."

###

"Aren't you afraid that some woodcutter coming down from the mountain, or some fisherman returning from the sea, will find your weapon and sell it as scrap metal?"

###

Bai Ying flicked Qian Renxue on the forehead and said softly, "Idiot! That's my Divine Weapon. No one but me can find it, and no one else can even lift it, let alone use it to chop wood or catch fish!"

###

Qian Renxue and the two people secretly listening nearby were all shocked. The three of them knew all too well what a Divine Weapon represented. The Angel God's Angel Sacred Sword and the Rakshasa God's Rakshasa Demonic Scythe—behind every Divine Weapon stood a god!

###

Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong both suspected that Bai Ying was a god reincarnated. Otherwise, he could not have so casually claimed that it was his Divine Weapon. Qian Renxue, however, did not think nearly as much about it as Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.

###

Qian Renxue then asked, "What does your Divine Weapon look like?"

###

Bai Ying looked at the description provided by the system. After reading it, he answered, "It's a saber. The blade is broad, while the spine and the guard at the base are both very thick. The hilt and guard are golden."

###

Qian Renxue was somewhat disappointed. "I thought it would be a sword. Who would've expected your Divine Weapon to be a saber?"

###

"How much longer can you stay?" Bai Ying asked.

###

Qian Renxue was somewhat displeased and said resentfully, "What? You want me to leave so soon?"

###

Bai Ying hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Of course not. I want to spend some quality time with you. I never wanted you to return to that corrupt empire."

###

"Once you obtain your Spirit Ring, you'll have to go study at Spirit Hall Academy. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you perform in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament!"

###

Bai Ying was disdainful at the thought of entering Spirit Hall Academy. "I'm not interested in academies, but the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament does seem somewhat interesting."

###

"But you can't participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament without joining an academy."

###

"Can't I just register under its name?"

###

"Teamwork requires coordination. If you only register under its name, what will you do if you can't cooperate with the other team members?"

###

Bai Ying had already made complete preparations for this. He then said to Qian Renxue, "I've prepared two plans. First, I'll see if I can win Hu Liena back. If I can, I'll participate in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Tournament. If I can't... I'll find seven people to represent the Worship Hall in the tournament."

###

"Represent the Worship Hall? There aren't many people of the right age in the Worship Hall! Wouldn't you still have to find them at Spirit Hall Academy?"

###

Bai Ying smiled slightly and said to Qian Renxue, "I'll go out and find a few people, then build a truly invincible team! It will be called the Purgatory Seven Vassals!"

###

###

"Xue'er has already left. Are you going to obtain your Spirit Ring next?" Qian Daoliu knelt before the Angel God statue and asked Bai Ying, who stood behind him.

###

"I know she's already left. I came here because I need your help." After entering, Bai Ying leaned against the wall as usual.

###

"What is it?" Qian Daoliu remained as calm as ever. This made Bai Ying wonder: He stays here every day, yet he can really remain free of distracting thoughts and see through all the worldly entanglements?

###

"I need Grandfather Jin E and Grandfather Qing Luan to come out with me. I also want to ask you to make an exception."

###

Qian Daoliu was somewhat puzzled. He could understand Jin E and Qing Luan going out with him. After all, they had heard Bai Ying and Qian Renxue's conversation a few days ago, so this trip should be to retrieve his weapon. But what did he mean by asking for an exception?

###

"Jin E and Qing Luan will go out with you later. But you need to explain what you mean by asking me to make an exception."

###

Bai Ying said calmly, "I want to recruit that person into the Worship Hall..."

###

"Who?" Qian Daoliu asked in confusion.

###

"Someone worth recruiting into the Worship Hall..."
