Qian Yu: If it's delivered to my door, why refuse? Golden Crocodile: Marrying you is Bibi Dong's good fortune!

Facing the flattery of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qian Yu merely offered a faint smile.

Within that humility lay a hint of natural, well-deserved confidence:

"Second Worship, you praise me too highly."

"It was merely a stroke of luck, coupled with Teacher personally holding the line for me, that I was fortunate enough to obtain these two spirit bones."

"You, you are just too modest."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stroked his beard and laughed heartily, his eyes filled with admiration.

The atmosphere within the great hall was harmonious, and the gazes the other Worships cast toward Qian Yu were equally filled with gratification.

After all, this was the Qilin child of the Qian family they had watched grow up, the future helmsman of the Worship Hall.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu, seated upright in the main position, raised a hand slightly, and the laughter in the hall gradually subsided.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Yu with a gentle gaze, yet deep within his eyes lay a profoundness that seemed to see through the ways of the world.

"Yu'er, I am very satisfied with the progress of your cultivation."

Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, his voice echoing through the vast hall.

"However, the reason I summoned you today, beyond checking your state after exiting seclusion, is to discuss one other matter."

Qian Yu's expression turned slightly solemn as he bowed:

"Please speak, Teacher."

Qian Daoliu's gaze narrowed as he cut to the heart of the matter:

"The marriage arrangement that Xunji set for you—that is, for you to marry Bibi Dong... what is your view on it?"

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the Worship Hall became somewhat subtle.

The events that had transpired at the Pope Palace over these past three days could naturally not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Worship Hall.

Bibi Dong's attempt to elope with that trash Yu Xiaogang, only to be intercepted on the spot by Qian Xunji, who then forced Bibi Dong to marry Qian Yu—the Worships were already fully aware of every detail.

Mentioning this matter, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression immediately darkened, and he let out a cold snort:

"That trash named Yu Xiaogang is nothing but a discarded pawn of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, unable to even break through to level thirty."

"How dare he covet the Saintess of our Martial Soul Hall? That girl Bibi Dong has truly lost her mind, wasting all the painstaking cultivation Martial Soul Hall has poured into her for so many years!"

"Indeed."

The Third Worship, Azure Luan Douluo, also spoke calmly, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.

"Although Xunji acted somewhat tyrannically this time, his starting point was for the sake of Martial Soul Hall."

"Bibi Dong's twin martial soul talent is one in a million; it must never fall into the hands of an outsider, much less be ruined by a piece of trash."

"It is just that... forcing this upon you is a grievance to Qian Yu."

In the eyes of the Worships, Qian Yu possessed peerless talent and was destined to become a quasi-god, or even ascend to the divine realm in the future.

Although Bibi Dong had top-tier talent, she had committed the disgraceful act of eloping without regard for propriety, and even harbored feelings for another.

To be matched with Qian Yu, she was, in the end, a bit lacking.

Qian Daoliu ignored the discussion among the Worships, simply watching Qian Yu quietly, waiting for his answer.

"Yu'er, the three-day deadline set by Xunji has arrived."

Qian Daoliu's tone was flat, yet it radiated an unquestionable protectiveness and dominance.

"If you are unwilling, I shall head to the Pope Palace now and decline this marriage for you."

"A disciple of Qian Daoliu is not someone others can force arrangements upon, not even the Pope."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Yu felt a slight warmth in his heart.

He knew that if he were to shake his head now, Qian Daoliu would go to reprimand Qian Xunji without the slightest hesitation.

The gazes of everyone in the hall were focused on Qian Yu.

Qian Yu raised his head slightly, the image of Bibi Dong's cold, stubborn eyes in the shadows that night flashing through his mind.

He suddenly smiled faintly, meeting the gazes of Qian Daoliu and the other Worships, and spoke calmly:

"Teacher, Worships, there is no need for such trouble."

Qian Yu paused, his voice clear and resonant, carrying an air of absolute confidence and composure:

"I accept this marriage."

Upon hearing Qian Yu's answer, a brief silence descended upon the great hall.

Qian Daoliu was slightly taken aback, a look of clear surprise flashing through his deep eyes.

In his view, this personal disciple of his had been nothing short of a dedicated ascetic for the past twenty years.

Beyond cultivation, there was only more cultivation.

Even among the peerless beauties with profound backgrounds within Martial Soul Hall.

Qian Yu had never spared them a second glance, as if he were completely insulated from the affairs of men and women.

Qian Daoliu had originally assumed.

Faced with a woman so forcefully shoved upon him by Qian Xunji, a woman who had even caused a scene and risked her life for a piece of trash.

Given the pride ingrained in Qian Yu's bones, he would surely refuse without a moment's hesitation.

He had not expected that he would actually agree.

However, as Qian Daoliu gave it a second thought, a trace of relief emerged in his deep, profound gaze.

Although Bibi Dong had acted foolishly and committed the scandalous act of eloping, which brought shame upon Martial Soul Hall.

Setting that aside, her talent was indeed an extremely rare existence on the Douluo Continent.

Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power!

Looking across the entire Martial Soul Hall, and even the entire continent.

Among the younger generation, the only woman who could barely keep pace with Qian Yu's talent was Bibi Dong herself.

Qian Yu possessed twin ultimate martial souls, and Bibi Dong also possessed twin top-tier martial souls.

If the two were to unite, with the convergence of yin and yang, what kind of heaven-defying aptitude would their offspring possess?

Perhaps, as Xunji had said, they could truly add another peerless prodigy to the Qian family and Martial Soul Hall.

An existence that might even be able to inherit a godhood in the future!

Taking a step back.

Even if the two were not on good terms, at the very least, the benefits would remain within their own house.

Binding Bibi Dong, a genius upon whom Martial Soul Hall had poured countless efforts and resources, firmly to the chariot of the Qian family and Martial Soul Hall.

That was far better than letting her run off with that trash from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, pointlessly depleting the foundation of Martial Soul Hall.

"Yu'er, are you serious?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Yu and spoke again to confirm, his tone carrying less majesty and more of an elder's gratification and concern.

"If you are only agreeing reluctantly out of regard for your senior brother's face, there is no need.

This master has said, as long as you are unwilling, no one can force you."

Qian Yu met Qian Daoliu's gaze and nodded with a smile, his eyes clear and calm:

"Rest assured, Master, this disciple is not being forced."

"Senior brother is right; Bibi Dong's talent is exceptional. If she were truly allowed to follow that trash, it would indeed be a waste of heaven's gifts."

"Since senior brother has delivered her to me, this disciple naturally has no reason to push such a peerless genius away."

"Hahaha!

Good!

Well said!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo heard this and laughed out loud again, his voice like a booming bell:

"Worthy of being the peerless genius of our Martial Soul Hall; this is the spirit one should have!"

"Things like love and affection are all illusions in the face of absolute talent and strength."

"That Bibi Dong being able to marry you is a blessing she has cultivated over eight lifetimes!"

The other elders also nodded in agreement, their faces full of approval.

In the eyes of this older generation of powerhouses who revered strength.

Qian Yu's mindset of prioritizing talent and interests, unburdened by the entanglements of romance, was the leadership quality most suited to governing Martial Soul Hall.

The smile on Qian Daoliu's face deepened even further.
