The Ye Clan Grandfather and Grandson

"Eh? Grandfather, why are the Great Elder and that child nowhere to be seen?" Dugu Yan asked after adjusting to her own Martial Soul.

"The Great Elder has left with that Highness, saying there were some matters to attend to. Before leaving, the Great Elder instructed me to assist Yue Guan in transplanting the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Afterward, a level 96 elder will be dispatched to guard the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"Is this place really that important?"

Dugu Bo nodded, not saying anything further.

On the other side, Qian Daoliu had already brought Qin Heng to Heaven Dou City.

[Back in Heaven Dou City again! In my previous life, when I came to Heaven Dou City, it was to receive Xue'er after her plan failed. That was the first time I met her.

No one expected that after Xue'er had been lurking in the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years, just as she was about to succeed, it would be ruined by that Little Scoundrel leading his so-called Tang Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi was also purely brainless. He and Xue'er had a master-disciple relationship, after all. He knew Xue'er's true identity and knew that once she successfully ascended the throne, she would certainly not choose to annihilate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if Bibi Dong wanted to take action, Xue'er would have stopped her.

Yet, he insisted on causing trouble alongside that Little Scoundrel, ultimately ending up with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect being destroyed. After so many years of interaction, even if Xue Qinghe was a fake, that old fox Ning Fengzhi surely could have seen Xue'er's character from the details. But he still made that decision; one can only say the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect deserved its destruction.]

Listening to Qin Heng's incessant grumbling about Ning Fengzhi, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but shake his head. He thought to himself: Even after living two lifetimes, Xiao Heng is still young after all, and doesn't understand human nature well enough! It's not that Ning Fengzhi didn't know Xue'er's character; it's that he knew her too well, knowing that even if the plan failed, Xue'er wouldn't do anything to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But he didn't know that although Xue'er is the Young Master of Martial Soul Hall and a direct descendant of the Qian family, Bibi Dong is no mere figurehead in Martial Soul Hall. If the plan had succeeded, Xue'er could have told Bibi Dong that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the guardian sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, and she would have been confident in subduing them.

But because Xue'er's plan failed, she was completely unable to stop whatever Bibi Dong wanted to do. However, come to think of it, why was Xue'er's identity exposed? Logically, the disguise skill of the Angel Suit's head soul bone should be absolutely perfect. How could it have been seen through?

Qian Daoliu found it difficult to ask Qin Heng directly, but Qin Heng noticed Qian Daoliu's hesitant expression and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

This is it! He had deliberately brought up the topic of the Heaven Dou Palace Coup and ranted about Ning Fengzhi precisely to let Qian Daoliu know that Qian Renxue's identity would eventually be exposed.

Then, he could introduce the real protagonist of the day: [Speaking of which, the exposure of Xue'er's identity had to do with that crazy woman Bibi Dong. Her "love-brain" is too pure; she was entirely focused on that trash Yu Xiaogang, telling him many of Martial Soul Hall's secrets, including the Qian family's inherited Angel soul bone set.]

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's face turned so dark it could drip water. It actually had to do with that trash from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan again. This time, even though Qian Daoliu didn't like bullying the younger generation, he decided that upon returning, he would immediately send someone to discipline this Yu Xiaogang.

Afterward, Qin Heng revealed many things about Heaven Dou City, and Qian Daoliu listened silently the entire time.

Until the two arrived at the Ye Clan's residence.

Qian Daoliu walked to the door and asked the gatekeeper, "Is Ye Renxin in?"

As the possessor of the world's strongest healing-type Martial Soul, the Ye Clan was never short of distinguished guests. The gatekeeper was a well-traveled man; one look at Qian Daoliu's aura told him this person was of extraordinary background. He immediately said respectfully, "He is. The Master just returned from a free clinic."

"Inform him for me. Say an old friend has come to visit and requests to see him."

The gatekeeper didn't dare to hesitate and immediately turned to run inside.

A moment later, Ye Renxin led out a young girl with blue hair and blue eyes, wearing a black veil, her temperament cold and gentle.

[So Ye Lingling wore a veil even when she was this young?]

A boy's voice suddenly rang in the ears of Ye Lingling, who was following behind her grandfather. Her gaze subconsciously fell on the only child present whose age matched the voice.

[In my previous life, my relationship with Ye Lingling was quite good. I even helped her bridge the gap to obtain her Soul Spirit. At that time, I had just created the Soul Spirit Method and was preparing to use it to create my own godhood when I happened to run into Ye Lingling, who had encountered an accident while out hunting for souls.

I didn't think much of it at the time. Out of consideration for having met her at the Spirit Master Tournament, I saved her on a whim. It just so happened that one of Bi Ji's tribe members, a ten-thousand-year Emerald Swan, was nearing the end of its life, and the Star Dou Great Forest side also wanted to see the success rate of my Soul Spirit Method. In the end, it benefited this girl, and she gained an Emerald Swan as a Soul Spirit.

By the time I became a god, this girl seemed to have already cultivated to the Title Douluo realm. Actually, compared to Ning Rongrong, the godhood of the Nine-Colored Goddess was clearly more suitable for Ye Lingling.

It's a pity that at that time I only had one immortal herb and couldn't help Ye Lingling break the shackles of her Martial Soul; otherwise, she would have had a high probability of inheriting the Nine-Colored Goddess's godhood.]

Qin Heng's inner voice rang continuously in Ye Lingling's ears. She felt a bit dizzy; she was certain that this child hadn't opened his mouth to speak, yet she heard the voice ringing in her ears. Could this be his inner thoughts?

Moreover, looking at the reactions of the people around, the gatekeeper and the guards on both sides definitely couldn't hear his thoughts, and her grandfather's expression hadn't changed at all. So, am I the only one who can hear this child's inner voice?

Ye Lingling suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and took another look at Qin Heng. Who could have imagined that this child was actually a god? And what he said seemed to be about the future?

The future, a previous life? Could it be that he is one of those people from the storybooks who has lived another life?

But he has already become a god, so why would he fall? And what is that Soul Spirit Method? It sounds very powerful; otherwise, how could she, an auxiliary-type Spirit Master, have cultivated to the realm of a Title Douluo?

Ye Renxin saw his granddaughter's gaze repeatedly falling on Qin Heng and felt a strange sensation in his heart. He knew Ye Lingling's personality better than anyone; usually, she wouldn't even give a child a glance, let alone look at one like this.

What was wrong with her today? Why so abnormal?

Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu, who was standing to the side, keenly sensed the change in Ye Lingling's expression. He immediately guessed that this Ye Lingling, like him, could hear Xiao Heng's inner voice.

Counting Bibi Dong, this was the third person who could hear Xiao Heng's thoughts. Did she have some special relationship with Xiao Heng? From what he had heard so far, they should just be friends, right?
