Qian Renxue: Are You My Father's Illegitimate Son?

"Luck, my ass!" Bibi Dong rolled her eyes. "You're treating God Positions like cabbages you can pick up, and you're grinning from ear to ear while doing it. I don't even know what to say to you."

She rose to her feet and paced back and forth, still processing everything she had just heard.

Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Asura God, Sea God, Auspicious Beast... Were these really things an ordinary Soul Master was supposed to encounter?

"Lin Fan, have you considered how difficult it'll be for you to inherit the legacies of the Twin God Kings in the future?" Bibi Dong stopped walking, her tone turning serious.

"I know." Lin Fan nodded. "But I'm not dead yet, am I? Besides, with a teacher like you protecting me, who could possibly do anything to me?"

"You little brat, you do know how to sweet-talk." The corners of Bibi Dong's lips lifted slightly before her expression swiftly turned cold again. "But if you dare treat Spirit Hall as a stepping stone and try any tricks, I'll be the first to deal with you."

"Don't worry, Teacher. I'm your most obedient student." Lin Fan wore an innocent smile.

Bibi Dong looked at his face and suddenly felt the urge to roll her eyes. This brat acted obedient with his mouth, but who knew what schemes he was hatching in his heart?

"Summon the Seraph and the Eye of Destiny. Let me see them."

Lin Fan grinned. His Soul Power surged, and in the next instant, the Six-Winged Seraph Martial Soul appeared. Golden flames swirled around its body, obscuring its face, while it held the Pseudo Sea God's Trident.

Its six wings unfurled, and searing Ultimate Fire churned around it, dazzling like a small sun.

A golden vertical eye appeared on his forehead.

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and carefully examined Lin Fan's Martial Soul. Though it was only a Pseudo Sea God's Trident, its pressure truly carried a hint of divinity.

After observing it for a while, Bibi Dong waved her hand. "Put it away. Come, we're going to Worship Hall."

"Teacher, what about these Immortal Herbs and Rare Treasures? Do you want..."

"Yes, of course I do." Bibi Dong did not even blink. "Keep a few for yourself. Prepare seven plants for those Worshippers and use them to improve your relationship with them. Give me the rest."

Lin Fan: "..."

"Teacher, you can't be this greedy!"

Bibi Dong shot him a sidelong glance. "There's no use keeping so many by yourself. Just take a few. I need them to cultivate people as well... Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll say you discovered them and put all the credit in your name."

The corner of Lin Fan's mouth twitched.

What credit? She was obviously using him as a sucker.

Lin Fan poured out all the Immortal Herbs and Rare Treasures. After sorting out what he needed, he handed the rest to Bibi Dong.

Outside the hall, Yue Guan and the others immediately straightened when they saw Bibi Dong emerge.

"Yue Guan, draw up a map of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well later. I will send people to guard it," Bibi Dong instructed indifferently.

"Yes, Your Eminence the Pope. However, Dugu Bo set quite a few traps there before, to prevent outsiders from approaching." Yue Guan responded respectfully, though he could not help grumbling inwardly—this place had clearly been taken by them, yet it was now Spirit Hall's official property.

"Then have him deal with it himself." Bibi Dong said calmly, "But remember, I want the map before tonight."

Dugu Bo stood to one side with a subtle expression. Although he had handed over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it had been his territory for half his life. Naturally, it still hurt a little to give it up.

But when he thought of how Spirit Hall could resolve the inherited poison plaguing his family, he let it go—after all, he was now a member of Spirit Hall too.

If he wanted to enter later to gather herbs, it probably... would not be difficult, right?

Bibi Dong swept her gaze over the group, lingering on Dugu Bo for a moment. "Dugu Bo, since you've joined Spirit Hall, serve properly from now on. Spirit Hall will not mistreat you. Come with us to Worship Hall."

Dugu Bo bowed slightly. "Yes, Your Eminence the Pope."

Bibi Dong said nothing more and headed directly toward Worship Hall.

Dugu Bo and Lin Fan hurried after her.

Inside Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu was playing chess with Golden Crocodile Douluo, while Qian Renxue sat quietly to the side and watched. Hearing the commotion, all three looked up at once.

Lin Fan waved and greeted them with a grin. "Grandpa Qian, Golden Crocodile Douluo, I'm back!"

Qian Daoliu glanced at him, his tone flat. "You still remembered to come back after playing around for a month?"

"Hehe, didn't I bring you gifts?" Lin Fan took out two Immortal Herbs from his Soul Tool and placed them on the table, then pointed at the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. "Grandpa Jin, this one is for you."

However, Qian Daoliu's brow suddenly furrowed. With a crack, he crushed the chess piece in his hand. "Tell me honestly. What have you been doing all this time? Why do you carry the aura of three Gods?"

Everyone looked at Lin Fan.

He scratched his head and grinned. "Grandpa Qian, it's a long story..."

So, he repeated everything he had told Bibi Dong—the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's sacrifice, Asura God and Evil God King fighting over him, consuming Fiery Gel at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his Martial Soul mutating into the Six-Winged Seraph, the Pseudo Sea God's Trident, the Eye of Destiny...

Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Renxue, and Dugu Bo all sank into profound silence.

Qian Daoliu stared at Lin Fan as if he were looking at a monster.

He had lived for so many years and seen every kind of storm, but he had never seen a Soul Master leave for a trip and return covered in the auras of Gods!

Golden Crocodile Douluo said nothing, but his old face was wrinkled like tree bark. Clearly, he was not calm inside either.

"Qian Renxue, since you're back, get acquainted with Lin Fan." Bibi Dong lightly tapped the floor with her scepter, her tone calm. "The adults have matters to discuss."

"Hmph, got it, sis!" Qian Renxue deliberately emphasized the word "sis," and as she turned, her golden hair nearly whipped Bibi Dong in the face.

Standing nearby, Lin Fan silently shuffled behind Dugu Bo, wearing an expression that said, I won't talk. I'll just watch the show.

Old Poisonous Creature glared at him. "Are you using me as a shield?"

"Shh—" Lin Fan pressed a finger to his lips. "Don't talk. Watch the show."

Qian Renxue ignored the minor interruption. She looked Lin Fan up and down. Though the brat was not very old, his aura was somewhat strange, immediately piquing her interest.

"Come with me." With a wave of her hand, she grabbed Lin Fan and headed toward another room.

Qian Renxue dragged Lin Fan out by the arm with so much force that she nearly tore off his sleeve.

"Hey, hey, take it easy!" Lin Fan followed with a grimace, hearing a cold snort from Bibi Dong as he passed her.

Qian Daoliu rubbed his temples and spoke up. "Let's discuss the serious matter first. Dugu Bo's poison..."

After pulling Lin Fan into the room, she casually shut the door and leaned against it, sizing him up.

"Hey, what kind of look is that?" Lin Fan felt his scalp prickle. "You're not planning to do something to me, are you?"

"Cut the nonsense." Qian Renxue scoffed. "Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with Bibi Dong?"

"Teacher and student." Lin Fan looked completely matter-of-fact. "What else could it be?"

"Are you my father Qian Xunji's illegitimate son?!"
