And so, that very night, Qian Daoliu—a dignified Title Douluo—climbed over the wall into Cen Yu's home just like an ordinary person.

As for why he didn't use the front gate?

Because he had knocked for ages with no response; it seemed the occupant was asleep.

The moment Qian Daoliu landed in the courtyard, a massive golden-red lotus flower caught his eye.

What is this? A flower raised by that kid named Cen Yu?

Just then, the petals bloomed one by one, revealing the figure lying within.

"What?"

Cen Yu opened his eyes impatiently, and in an instant, a murderous aura enveloped Qian Daoliu.

"Great Protector, what business brings you here in the dead of night? You're disturbing my rest."

Feeling the aura radiating from Cen Yu, Qian Daoliu's expression sank.

??????????????

Is this the holy attribute Qian Renxue spoke of? Where is the holiness?

Setting aside that murderous aura, isn't the evil energy overflowing from this kid a bit much?

But Qian Daoliu was the Great Protector after all; after a moment of shock, he feigned seriousness and said, "You are Cen Yu, correct?"

Hearing this, Cen Yu landed on the ground, speechless, and walked toward the living room.

So he learned of his existence from Qian Renxue and came to see what the situation was?

Tsk... having to come in the dead of night and disturb someone's sleep.

"Great Protector, come sit in the living room."

Once inside, Cen Yu sprawled out on the sofa and waved a hand at Qian Daoliu: "If you want tea, brew it yourself, Great Protector. No need to stand on ceremony among family."

Qian Daoliu froze, frowning as he asked, "Who is family with you?"

What on earth did Bibi Dong tell this kid? Why does he seem to know everything?

"Isn't it so?" Cen Yu replied flatly: "My master is Qian Renxue's mother, she is my senior sister, and you are her grandfather."

Before Qian Daoliu could speak, he continued on his own: "I suppose your next sentence will be asking how I recognized your identity."

The reason Cen Yu was so bold and showed no reverence toward Qian Daoliu was that, no matter what, Qian Daoliu would never lower himself to strike a junior.

Even if he found out about the Li Kai incident, he wouldn't.

This stemmed from the chivalry he held dear.

Negotiation tactics, after all~ sometimes it's not about who has the higher status, but who holds the initiative.

Sure enough, Qian Daoliu wasn't angry; instead, he looked somewhat surprised and began to size Cen Yu up carefully.

He asked with interest: "Then how did you recognize me?"

Interesting. Since this kid knows his identity and knows the relationship between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, how is he still so bold?

Cen Yu chuckled: "Because I don't have much experience~ In this world, when people mention a martial soul with a holy attribute, the only one I can think of is the Angel."

"And among the Angels, the Six-Winged Angel lineage is the most powerful."

"And as it happens, I can sense that you are at least a Title Douluo-level existence~"

Qian Daoliu nodded: "So, you also know that in Martial Soul Hall, I am the only Title Douluo with an Angel martial soul?"

"Mhm~"

Cen Yu yawned: "Great Protector, if you have something to say, just say it. It's late at night... forget it, let's lay it all out."

Then, under Qian Daoliu's increasingly astonished gaze, Cen Yu recounted the entire incident regarding Li Kai.

Seeming not to expect such candor from Cen Yu, Qian Daoliu became intrigued: "Aren't you afraid that I might punish you?"

"Li Kai's parents have served Martial Soul Hall for many years; if they haven't earned merit, they've at least put in the labor. This matter won't just be brushed aside."

Hearing this, Cen Yu looked at Qian Daoliu: "Great Protector, you seem to have misunderstood one thing."

It seems he bet correctly—there really were some dishonest fellows who went to report him?

"No matter who he is, what his status is, or what his background is, I am stronger than him, so to him, I am the strong."

"In this world, you should know better than I do what the outcome is for someone who provokes the strong."

"Or are you saying that if an ant pointed at your nose and cursed the Angel God, you would persuade it to turn over a new leaf instead of cutting it down with a sword?"

As the words fell, Qian Daoliu fell silent; he truly couldn't refute that.

Although both Li Kai and Cen Yu were members of Martial Soul Hall, Cen Yu was right.

The strong cannot be insulted; that is the rule.

Moreover, even if it were a Title Douluo of Martial Soul Hall, if they disobeyed orders and went so far as to insult the Angel God, he would not hesitate to eliminate the threat once and for all.

"Then what about your martial soul? Qian Renxue told me it had a holy attribute, but now?"

"Oh? This? Just a moment." Cen Yu tapped his head lightly: "Hey~ Lao Ji, wake up and show your face, love you~"

In the next second, the red glow in the youth's eyes transformed into a golden light.

In an instant, the murderous, evil aura shifted into one of sanctity and auspiciousness.

Cen Yu nodded toward Qian Daoliu: "Greetings, Great High Priest."

Before Qian Daoliu could react, Cen Yu tapped his head lightly again: "Alright, I'm going to sleep, you take over."

In another instant, the aura switched once more.

Qian Daoliu felt the shift in the youth's aura and watched him talk to himself for a long while, completely bewildered.

This is... Twin Martial Souls? One righteous and one evil? Truly an unparalleled talent.

But it's just... is this kid's brain a bit...

Cen Yu noticed his gaze and immediately rolled his eyes: "Great High Priest, my brain is perfectly fine, don't misunderstand."

"Although my master and the others already know, out of respect, I should explain it to you."

A moment later, Qian Daoliu was shocked, beginning to study Cen Yu with great interest.

"How strange, I have never seen such a Martial Soul."

It was not a Twin Martial Souls, yet it possessed two distinct forms, even capable of influencing the soul master himself.

Such a Martial Soul had never appeared in the entire history of the Douluo Continent.

No wonder Bibi Dong took him as a disciple; so that was the reason.

Just then, Cen Yu leaned toward Qian Daoliu with a grin and held out his hand.

"?"

Qian Daoliu looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"A greeting gift." Cen Yu said as if it were only natural: "Great High Priest, this is our first meeting, shouldn't you give me a greeting gift?"

Under Qian Daoliu's puzzled gaze, the youth slowly began to brainwash... er, explain.

"Think about it, Senior Sister Xue only has you and Bibi Dong as family. If you two are gone in the future, what if Senior Sister Xue gets bullied?"

"Even if Senior Sister Xue is strong, what if some shameless old fossil makes a move? Or perhaps some shameless deity, right?"

"You've seen my talent; as long as you nurture me well, I will be Senior Sister Xue's most solid backing and her family in the future~"

"..."

Hearing these shameless words, Qian Daoliu immediately wanted to slap him.

But upon second thought, he fell silent.

Actually, what Cen Yu said was the truth, just a bit exaggerated.
