He Is Lin Xiao, My Brother!

Lin Xiao's broad palm slowly came down onto Qian Renxue's head, gently rubbing it. The instant his hand settled there, the powerful, soul-shaking aura that had belonged solely to Lin Xiao vanished completely, returning to perfect stillness.

"Awoo~" The Black Dragon, which had been quietly coiled atop Lin Xiao's head in rest, instantly awoke from its deep sleep after sensing the several powerful auras around them.

The Black Dragon stood firmly on Lin Xiao's head and began surveying the surroundings. Then it turned its gaze toward the blond young man before it, carefully sensing her aura. In an instant, the Black Dragon became sharply vigilant.

This aura was far too familiar to it. Memories of the past surged forth like a tide, because this was the unique aura of the Witch who had tormented it terribly when it had first developed consciousness!

Qian Renxue stood there stiffly, feeling the warmth of the hand on her head as she stared at the nine soul rings beneath Lin Xiao's feet—black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!

Those nine fully revealed soul rings had completely shattered the Soul Master world's ideal soul ring configuration. At the same time, she noticed the tiny Black Dragon standing atop Lin Xiao's head, proudly holding its head high as it watched her with vigilance!

When she heard him call her "Xiao Xue," combined with how familiar his outline had seemed from the start, Qian Renxue suddenly realized the truth.

Those precious childhood memories that had long been sealed away were completely unlocked at that moment. They surfaced one after another, crashing wildly through her mind.

Someone who could become a Title Douluo at this age, whose soul rings began with ten-thousand-year rings—looking across the world, only her brother possessed such strength. Most crucially, he had a Black Dragon on his head.

"So... you weren't an assassin... You're my Brother Lin Xiao?!" Qian Renxue's voice trembled violently. Her eyes brimmed with tears, and she struggled desperately to hold back the glistening droplets.

In truth, the moment she saw Lin Xiao's soul ring configuration, a suspicion had already arisen in her heart. Yet it was not until that broad, warm hand gently rested on her head and he spoke those words.

Only then did she finally confirm it. The young man standing before her was none other than her brother, Lin Xiao, who had been in seclusion for years and whom she had not seen in so long!

"You are Spirit Hall's Holy Son, Lin Xiao!!!"

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo had been forced to kneel under the overwhelming pressure of Lin Xiao's immense aura. Once Lin Xiao completely restrained it, the two of them rose to their feet, staring straight at the young man before them with utter disbelief!

They had never imagined that this young assassin would actually be Spirit Hall's mysterious Holy Son. Moreover, the strength this Holy Son displayed was enough to suppress them in every respect. His true Soul Power Level had likely already reached the level of a Super Douluo!

What had happened before them was simply a misunderstanding. They had indeed heard that Holy Son Lin Xiao was a peerless genius seen only once in ten thousand years, but this Holy Son had remained in seclusion cultivating all year round.

He had almost never appeared before them. They only knew that Holy Son Lin Xiao possessed extraordinary talent, but had no idea what he truly looked like. That was how this misunderstanding had occurred!

Most importantly, not even their young mistress had recognized the Holy Son. Under such circumstances, it was not particularly strange that none of them recognized one another.

"We pay respects to the Holy Son. We beg the Holy Son for forgiveness!" Once they learned that the person before them was Spirit Hall's Holy Son, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo immediately dropped to one knee and spoke in unison with utmost respect.

Lin Xiao looked at them and said calmly, "No matter. At first, I did not reveal my identity either. Besides, I have been in seclusion for many years, and very few people know my appearance. This is not your fault. Leave for now. I have something to say to Xiao Xue."

"We obey!" With that, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo left the room.

Qian Renxue fixed her gaze on the handsome Lin Xiao before her, never looking away. Only after Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo had left did she choke out, her voice carrying emotions too difficult to put into words, "Brother Lin Xiao."

As soon as the words fell, she did not hesitate in the slightest. She decisively removed her disguise completely, revealing her originally breathtakingly beautiful appearance in full.

Qian Renxue's appearance slowly began to change. Her dazzling golden hair, radiant like sunlight, fell smoothly along her fragrant shoulders like a golden waterfall, every strand glimmering with a mysterious sheen that captivated the heart.

Her emerald eyes resembled a clear lake whose bottom could be seen at a glance, yet also an endless, profound night sky. Within those pupils seemed to lie a vast, boundless sea of stars, carrying an irresistible charm.

Her figure possessed a striking golden ratio, its graceful and harmonious lines deeply intoxicating. Even dressed in men's clothing, her charm was not diminished in the slightest.

Lin Xiao gazed at Qian Renxue, whose appearance had changed completely. His memories of her looks had remained fixed on her childhood. Seeing the peerless beauty before him, he could not help but stare blankly for a moment, his expression full of dazed disbelief.

"Brother Lin Xiao." Qian Renxue suddenly threw herself into Lin Xiao's embrace. The crystalline tears in her eyes could no longer be contained, streaming down freely like a flood.

Even years ago, when she had come to the completely unfamiliar Heaven Dou Empire, even when the road ahead had been filled with countless hardships and obstacles, she had never shed a single tear.

Yet upon seeing this brother whom she had not seen for years, who had not even come to see her off when she left Spirit Hall, all the longing she had buried deep within her heart for so long erupted completely and without reservation.

Qian Renxue sobbed continuously, as if she had returned to childhood and suffered some terrible grievance. She lay in her brother's arms, crying sorrowfully and pouring out her complaints.

Looking at the crying Qian Renxue in his arms, Lin Xiao felt a pang of sadness. He gently and patiently patted her back, silently waiting for her to release all of her pent-up emotions.
