Shortly after Tang Hao embarked on a journey to Sea God Island with a crazy plan, and Qian Daoliu's meaningful secret letter quietly left Spirit Hall, Ye Qing and Sea Dragon Douluo also formally bid farewell to Qian Daoliu.
Inside the Worship Hall, the atmosphere was as solemn and solemn as ever.
Golden sunlight poured in through the high windows, casting bright beams of light on the smooth floor.
Qian Daoliu is still wearing a gray robe, his blond hair is meticulously combed, and his face is majestic and calm.
He sat in the main seat and after listening to Ye Qing's farewell words, an almost undetectable trace of surprise flashed across his deep eyes.
"What? Are you leaving now?"
Qian Daoliu's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard. There was just a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He looked down at Ye Qing and Sea Dragon Douluo, who were standing side by side, and asked, "Don't stay any longer. Time? Spirit Hall Although it is not as quiet as Sea God Island, it still has everything you need. Xue'er That girl also likes you very much. Why not hang out for a few more days and make her happy?"
His words were gentle, with an elder's reluctance to the younger generation, and a hint of temptation.
I would like to know if Ye Qing's sudden decision to leave is related to the previous incident, or if there is another hidden reason.
Ye Qing stood in the hall, his small body standing upright.
Wearing simple blue clothes, he had a calm face. He shook his head gently when he heard the words, and his voice was clear and polite:
"Thank you, senior, for your warm hospitality and retention. During these days at the Spirit Hall, I am grateful to senior and His Holiness the Pope for your care. Ye Qing is grateful."
He paused and changed the subject:
"It's just that the reason why we left Sea God Island and set foot on the mainland this time was to deal with some... unfinished matters. We have been delayed for a lot of time because of the Clear Sky Sect matter. Now that everything is over, it is time to continue to deal with our own affairs."
Ye Qing's words were spoken calmly, and it also made it clear that their trip to the mainland was not just for fun, but for a clear purpose.
It was only because of the accident at Tang Hao that I had no choice but to stay at the Spirit Hall for so long.
Qian Daoliu heard a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Yes, he almost forgot that Ye Qing and Sea Dragon Douluo first came to the Spirit Hall to recover Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Ah Yin that was stolen by Tang Hao.
Now that Soul Beast has been taken back and the Clear Sky Sect matter has come to an end for the time being, they really have no reason to stay in the Spirit Hall.
"That's it." Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, expressing understanding.
He pondered for a moment and then spoke again, with a hint of concern and goodwill in his tone:
"That being the case, I can't force you to stay. I just don't know, what are you going to do next? Do you need me, Spirit Hall, to provide some... help within my ability?"
With the potential and value that Ye Qing has shown now, he would not mind providing some support within a reasonable range to further consolidate the relationship between the two parties.
After all, even Clear Sky Sect has done it, and other forces are even more contemptuous of it.
However, Ye Qing shook his head again and declined Qian Daoliu's kindness:
"Senior is interested. However, the matter we have to deal with is not a big deal. The two of us can handle it, so I won't bother everyone at the Spirit Hall."
His words were not entirely polite.
What he is going to do next is indeed inappropriate and does not require Spirit Hall's intervention.
He is going to the Heaven Dou Empire royal family to pick up something - Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which is Heart of the Sea God.
To others, this treasure may just be a top-notch Soul Tool with special abilities.
But for Sea God Island and Sea God Inheritance, the significance is no small matter.
It is one of the key tokens of Sea God Inheritance, which can greatly increase the affinity and power of Sea God's Power, and may even affect the level of the divine test.
Ye Qing remembers it very clearly. In the setting of the original work, Sea God Island Grand Pontiff Bo Saixi is extremely talented, and his strength reaches level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo. He has been in charge of Sea God Island for a hundred years, and his belief in Sea God is extremely pious.
But in the end, the Sea God Trial she got was only the top eight exams, not the real god Nine Trials.
Among them, there may be restrictions due to the inheritance rules of Sea God Godhood, or there may be other considerations.
But Ye Qing has always believed that the lack of Heart of the Sea God, this key token, is likely to be one of the important reasons.
If Bo Saixi can obtain and integrate Heart of the Sea God, with his talent and accumulation, it may not be impossible to upgrade the top eight exams into the real Sea God Nine Trials!
Once Bo Saixi becomes Sea God Godhood, it will be an earth-shaking change for Sea God Island!
Not only Bo Saixi himself can break the shackles, ascend Divine Realm, and gain eternal life.
Sea God Island can also welcome a real god of his own!
By then, its status and influence will be far greater than it is now!
As for how to obtain Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?
Ye Qing already has some concerns in mind.
Nowadays, the Heaven Dou Empire royal family, although it is one of the two great empires, does not have its own Titled Douluo level powerhouse.
Its highest combat power is the Soul Douluo-level royal guest minister, and the two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protectors Douluo--Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong who are attached to the royal family.
As long as you avoid the time when Chen Xin and Gu Rong are sitting in the palace, with the strength of Sea Dragon Douluo Titled Douluo, plus the unique control of the water attribute, you want to sneak into the depths of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace without anyone noticing, find and take away Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it can be said that it is as simple as it is.
Not only that, but the most important thing is that the fewer people know about this matter, the better. In this case, the actions need to be more secretive.
Spirit Hall has huge power and many informants. If they are allowed to participate, it may lead to complications and leaks.
Therefore, Ye Qing decisively rejected Qian Daoliu's proposal.
Qian Daoliu saw that Ye Qing was resolute and seemed to really not want outsiders to interfere, so he stopped forcing it.
He looked at Ye Qing with gentle eyes, changed the topic, and there was a hint of care from the elders to the younger ones in his tone, and there was also a hint of creating opportunities for his granddaughter:
"In that case, I wish you success in your trip and an early success."
"However, before you leave, you should go and say goodbye to Xue'er. That girl has been a bit withdrawn since she was a child, and she doesn't have any real playmates in the Spirit Hall. She is the happiest when you are with her these days. Once you leave, she will probably be sad for a while."
Speaking of Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu's majestic face also showed a rare trace of gentleness belonging to his grandfather.
Ye Qing nodded after hearing this.
He did feel a little pity for Qian Renxue, an innocent and somewhat lonely little girl.
It would really not be a good idea to leave without saying goodbye this time.
"Senior, don't worry, I will go and say goodbye to Xue'er." Ye Qing responded.
Immediately, he turned to look at Sea Dragon Douluo, who had been standing silently beside him, and ordered:
"Uncle Sea Dragon, you go to Ah Yin first and tell her to get ready. We will set off later. I will go find Xue'er, and then we will meet up at the Pope Palace."
"Okay." Sea Dragon Douluo responded crisply, then turned around and strode away from the Worship Hall to find Ah Yin.
Ye Qing was alone, leaving the solemn atmosphere of the Worship Hall, and walked towards the courtyard behind the Pope Palace, where Qian Renxue lived.
Passing through the familiar corridor, I came to the exquisite and gorgeous door. Ye Qing raised his little hand and knocked on the door gently.
"Duh, dunk, dunk."
The knocking on the door was clear and regular.
Soon, the door creaked and a gap was opened from the inside, revealing a small face as delicate as a porcelain doll.
Today's Qian Renxue is obviously dressed up carefully.
She was wearing a brand new pure white dress embellished with gold lace.
The fluffy skirt made her look like a little princess from a fairy tale.
Her long golden hair was combed into two cute buns, tied with a hairband decorated with tiny pearls, which made her even more playful.
Her purple eyes were like reflecting the stars. The moment she opened the door and saw Ye Qing, they were like stars that were instantly lit up, suddenly bursting out with bright and surprising light!
"Ye Qing?"
Qian Renxue's voice is clear and sweet, with unabashed happiness and excitement.
She opened the door completely with a swish, raised her little face, and looked at Ye Qing with anticipation in her eyes:
"Are you... are you here specifically to play with me?!"
You can't blame her for being excited.
In the past, she almost always took the initiative to find Ye Qing and pestered him to accompany her.
Like today, it was the first time that Ye Qing took the initiative to come to her!
This filled the little girl's heart with excitement, thinking that Ye Qing had finally enlightened and knew that he would take the initiative to find her as a good friend.
However, Ye Qing's next words were like a basin of ice water, instantly extinguishing all the light in her eyes.
