Qian Daoliu shook his head, with a hint of complexity and helplessness in his tone. "What I mean is... after entering Slaughter City, you should take more care of her. Don't let her... die inside."
Ye Qing couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard this.
He looked at Qian Daoliu's eyes filled with worry and concern, and couldn't help but ask, "Since senior is so worried, why don't you reject her directly? In your capacity, if you force an order, she shouldn't be able to disobey it, right?"
Qian Daoliu heard this, smiled bitterly, and asked, "Refuse? Is it useful? I know that girl's temperament best. She will do whatever she wants, no matter what. Not to mention..."
He paused, looking at Ye Qing with a kind of transparency and emotion that could see through the world. "I can see that she really likes you and wants to be by your side. How can I, a grandfather, have the heart to extinguish her love with my own hands?"
Ye Qing was silent after hearing this.
After a long time, he slowly raised his head, looked at Qian Daoliu, nodded solemnly, and said, "I understand. I will protect her. As long as I can get out of Slaughter City, then she can too."
Qian Daoliu After hearing this, a happy and grateful smile finally appeared on his face.
He stretched out his hand and gently patted Ye Qing on the shoulder, with a hint of hoarseness and sincerity in his voice:
"Thank you. If possible... I hope that after you come out of Slaughter City... you can really be together."
As time passed, the two pieces of Soul Bone that exuded golden light in the Worship Hall were finally completely absorbed and refined by Qian Renxue through her efforts.
She slowly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be a layer of faint, divine brilliance in those beautiful eyes that were like stars.
She felt the new power brought by the two pieces of Soul Bone in her body, as well as the faint connection established with Angel God Armor, and an unprecedented confidence and confidence surged in her heart.
She stood up and quickly returned to her room without much delay. She simply packed a few changes of clothes and some necessary items into a small Soul Tool.
Then, she took a deep breath and opened the door.
Outside the hospital, Ye Qing was waiting quietly.
Not far behind him, Bo Saixi and Ah Yin stood side by side.
Qian Daoliu, on the other hand, stood on the steps of the Worship Hall, looking here with complicated eyes.
Qian Renxue walked to Ye Qing, raised his head, with a hint of determination and expectation in his beautiful eyes, and said softly, "I'm ready. Let's go."
Ye Qing looked into her bright and firm eyes, said nothing more, and just nodded lightly.
The two walked out of the gate of the Spirit Hall side by side and boarded a carriage that had been prepared.
The car curtain was lowered, blocking the intertwined sights inside and outside.
The driver shook the reins gently, and the horse's hoofs stepped on the bluestone road, making a crisp sound.
The carriage started slowly and drove towards the city gate of Spirit City.
Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu, and Ah Yin stood side by side on the steps outside the Worship Hall, watching the carriage go further and further away, eventually turning into a blurry black spot and disappearing at the end of the road.
It wasn't until the carriage completely disappeared from sight that Qian Daoliu slowly withdrew his gaze.
He did not turn his head, still looking in that direction, and spoke in a calm tone, as if talking to himself, and also as if telling Bo Saixi beside him:
"Bo Saixi, you should know... Angel God and Sea God are both fighting for Ye Qing, right?"
Bo Saixi Hearing this, those blue eyes fluctuated slightly, but soon returned to calm.
She did not deny it, but asked softly, "What do you want to say?"
Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment and said slowly, "What I want to say is... I know what Sea God is thinking. It's nothing more than using you to firmly tie Ye Qing to his side. After all, You are the Grand Pontiff he trusts most and the most influential person on Sea God Island. As long as you are by Ye Qing's side, he will have an inseparable bond with Sea God Island."
He paused, turned his head slightly, looked at Bo Saixi's profile face that was still flawless in the sun, and continued, "So, if I guess correctly... the reason why you chose to marry Ye Qing, in addition to some emotional factors, is more... because of Sea God's request, and... your yearning for the Divine Realm, right?"
Bo Saixi was silent after hearing this.
She didn't respond or deny.
He just stood there quietly, looking at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, as if he was presupposing something, and as if he was thinking about something.
Qian Daoliu Seeing that she didn't refute, he knew that he had guessed correctly.
He sighed softly, with some complexity and emotion in that sigh, and then continued:
"And now...Angel God, has done the same."
Bo Saixi was stunned when he heard this.
Immediately, the pupils in her blue eyes suddenly shrank!
She seemed to understand something instantly. She turned her head suddenly and looked at Qian Daoliu, her voice trembling with disbelief:
"You mean...Qian Renxue?"
Qian Daoliu didn't hide anything, he nodded calmly and admitted. "That's right. It's Xue'er."
Hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed in Bo Saixi's blue eyes.
She smiled softly, with a hint of surprise and relief in her smile, as well as a faint, indescribable complex emotion.
She said slowly:
"So it's like this... I'm just telling you, how could this girl be so determined to follow my Xiaoqing to a place like Slaughter City? It turns out... it's because of this reason."
Qian Daoliu heard this and shook his head.
His eyes were still looking at the direction where the carriage disappeared, and his tone was serious, as if he was defending his granddaughter, and he said slowly:
"No, no, no. Xue'er... it's different from you."
He paused slightly, as if he was organizing his words, and then continued, "She is more... like it."
"Ten years ago, when they first met at the Spirit Hall, Xue'er relied on him very much. At that time, Xue'er, despite her noble status, was Spirit Hall's saint, is Qian Family's hope for the future, but she has had no friends since she was a child. Her mother Bibi Dong, for some reasons, is not close to her, and can even be said to be indifferent. She has grown up in a lonely and depressed environment."
He sighed softly, with a hint of distress and guilt in his tone. "So, that period was the happiest time in Xue'er's life. There was a person who did not use her identity as a purpose, and did not alienate her because of her mother, but simply stayed with her, talked to her, and played with her..."
He turned his head and looked at Bo Saixi, with a kind of transparency and seriousness in his eyes. "And as time went by, this feeling not only did not weaken at all, but... became deeper and more determined. Until that night, When Master Angel God proposed that she marry Ye Qing, she did not show any resistance, but showed an expression of expectation and shyness... At that moment, I was truly sure that her feelings for Ye Qing were no longer pure friendship."
Bo Saixi was silent after hearing this.
She looked at Qian Daoliu's eyes filled with seriousness and honesty, and suddenly an indescribable complex emotion surged in her heart.
She originally thought that Qian Renxue, like herself, chose Ye Qing because of the order of the gods.
But now when she heard what Qian Daoliu said, she realized that that girl really liked Ye Qing.
Not because of the order of the gods, not for the ticket to ascend Divine Realm, just because... that person is him.
Bo Saixi took a breath, turned his gaze back to the deserted road, and said softly, "I see... that girl is much more pure than me."
