"Hmm? Grandpa, why are the Grand Elder and that child nowhere to be seen?" Dugu Yan asked after getting used to her Martial Soul.
"The Grand Elder took that young lord and left. He said he had matters to handle. Before leaving, he asked me to assist Yue Guan in transplanting the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Afterward, he'll send a Level 96 elder to guard the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
"Is this place really that important?"
Dugu Bo nodded without saying anything further.
Meanwhile, 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 had failed. That was the first time Xue'er and I met.
No one expected that after Xue'er had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years and was on the verge of success, Little Scoundrel would ruin everything with his so-called Tang Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi was completely brainless too. He and Xue'er were master and disciple, after all. He knew Xue'er's true identity, and he knew that once she successfully took the throne, she would never choose to destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even if Bibi Dong wanted to make a move, Xue'er would stop her.
Yet he insisted on causing trouble alongside Little Scoundrel and ultimately brought about the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. After so many years together, even if Xue Qinghe himself had been fake, that old fox Ning Fengzhi could surely have seen Xue'er's character through the smallest details. Yet he still made that choice. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect deserved to be destroyed.
Listening to Qin Heng ramble on with complaints about Ning Fengzhi, Qian Daoliu could not help shaking his head. He thought to himself, Even after living two lives, Xiao Heng is still young. He doesn't understand the human heart well enough. It wasn't that Ning Fengzhi didn't know Xue'er's character. He understood her all too well and knew that even if her plan failed, she would not do anything to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
But what he didn't know was that while Xue'er was indeed the Spirit Hall's young mistress and a direct descendant of the Qian Family, Bibi Dong was no mere figurehead in Spirit Hall. If the plan had succeeded, Xue'er could have told Bibi Dong that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the Heaven Dou Empire's guardian sect and that she was confident she could bring it under control.
But Xue'er's plan failed. Whatever Bibi Dong wanted to do then, Xue'er would have been completely unable to stop her. Still, how was Xue'er's identity exposed? Logically speaking, the Angel Suit's skull Soul Bone disguise skill should have been absolutely flawless. How could it have been seen through?
Qian Daoliu could not directly ask Qin Heng this question. Qin Heng, however, noticed Qian Daoliu's hesitant expression, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
There it is! I deliberately brought up the Heaven Dou Palace Coup and relentlessly mocked Ning Fengzhi just now so Qian Daoliu would know that Qian Renxue's identity would eventually be exposed.
Then I can bring out today's real subject: Xue'er's identity was exposed because of that crazy woman Bibi Dong. Her love-struck obsession was pure to the extreme. Her mind was entirely on that useless Yu Xiaogang, and she told him many of Spirit Hall's secrets, including the Angel Soul Bone Set inherited by the Qian Family.
Qian Daoliu's face darkened until it looked ready to drip water. It was connected to that trash from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan again. Even though Qian Daoliu had been unwilling to bully a junior, he decided that once he returned, he would immediately send someone to deal with Yu Xiaogang.
After that, Qin Heng gradually revealed many more things concerning Heaven Dou City, while Qian Daoliu listened silently.
It was not until the two arrived at the Ye Clan residence.
Qian Daoliu walked to the entrance and asked the gatekeeper, "Is Ye Renxin here?"
As the clan possessing the strongest healing-type Martial Soul in the world, the Ye Clan received no ordinary visitors. Their gatekeeper was well-informed and experienced. The moment he saw Qian Daoliu's bearing, he knew that this man must be extraordinary. He immediately said respectfully, "He is. The master has just returned from offering free consultations."
"Inform him for me. Tell him an old acquaintance has come to visit and ask him to come out and meet me."
The gatekeeper did not dare delay in the slightest and immediately turned to run inside.
A moment later, Ye Renxin came out to greet them with a blue-haired, blue-eyed young girl at his side. She wore a black veil and possessed a cool yet gentle temperament.
So Ye Lingling had been wearing a veil from such a young age?
A boy's voice suddenly rang beside Ye Lingling's ear as she followed behind her grandfather. Her gaze instinctively fell on the only child present whose age seemed to fit.
In my previous life, Ye Lingling and I had a fairly good relationship. I was even the one who helped her obtain her Soul Spirit. At the time, I had just created the Soul Spirit Method and was preparing to use it to create my own Divine Position. By chance, I encountered Ye Lingling after she suffered an accident while out hunting soul beasts.
I didn't think much of it then. Since I had met her during the Soul Master Tournament, I saved her on a whim. As it happened, a ten-thousand-year Emerald Swan from Bi Ji's clan was nearing the end of its lifespan. The Star Dou Great Forest also wanted to see the success rate of my Soul Spirit Method, so this girl got lucky and obtained an Emerald Swan as her Soul Spirit.
When I became a god, this girl seemed to have already cultivated to the rank of Titled Douluo. Compared with Ning Rongrong, the Nine-Colored Goddess's Divine Position was clearly more suited to Ye Lingling.
Unfortunately, I had only obtained one Immortal Herb at the time and had no way to help Ye Lingling break through the limitations of her Martial Soul. Otherwise, Ye Lingling would have had a high chance of inheriting the Nine-Colored Goddess's Divine Position.
Qin Heng's inner voice rang continuously beside Ye Lingling's ear, leaving her somewhat dazed. She was certain that this child had not opened his mouth, yet she could clearly hear a voice beside her ear. Could this be his inner voice?
Moreover, judging from the reactions of those around her, the gatekeeper leading the way and the guards on both sides definitely could not hear his inner voice. Her grandfather's expression had not changed at all either. Was she the only one who could hear this child's inner voice?
Ye Lingling suppressed the strange feelings in her heart and looked at Qin Heng twice more. Who would have thought that this child was actually a god? And the things he spoke of seemed to be the future?
The future, a previous life? Could he be one of those people from storybooks who had lived another life?
But he had already become a god, so why had he still fallen? And what was this Soul Spirit Method? It sounded incredibly powerful. Otherwise, how could she, a support-type Soul Master, have cultivated to the realm of Titled Douluo?
Seeing his granddaughter's gaze repeatedly fall on Qin Heng, Ye Renxin felt a trace of bewilderment. He knew Lingling's personality better than anyone. Normally, let alone looking at a child like this, she would not even spare such a child a glance.
What was happening today? Why was she acting so unusually?
At the side, Qian Daoliu keenly noticed the changes in Ye Lingling's expression. He immediately guessed that Ye Lingling, like himself, could hear Xiao Heng's inner voice.
Including Bibi Dong, she was the third person able to hear Xiao Heng's inner voice. Did she have some special connection with Xiao Heng? From what he had heard so far, the two should only be friends, right?
