Moving into the Worship Hall

"Child, from this moment on, you are under the protection of this Qian Daoliu. If you lack anything, just ask me or the other Worships."

"Hmm, I will introduce you to the other Worships in a moment. For the time being... Chen'er, you shall reside within the Worship Hall."

After confirming that Luo Chen was truly without a single trace of abnormality, Qian Daoliu smiled gently and patted Luo Chen's head of golden hair, his expression overflowing with kindness.

Compared to the slight majesty he displayed during their first meeting, it was as if he had become an entirely different person.

"Yes, Great Worship."

Luo Chen cupped his hands in a somewhat stiff motion to accept, revealing a simple smile.

To be honest, he was still feeling quite bewildered.

Luo Chen had actually envisioned many scenarios before coming here, and most of them were outcomes where he could reach a reconciliation with Qian Daoliu, in one way or another.

But not a single one involved the anomaly of the Angel Statue.

This had completely exceeded his planning, and the trouble that had given him such a headache for so long had been resolved just like that—and in such a perfect way, no less.

Calling this a windfall from the heavens would not be an exaggeration.

Not only did he not need to expose anything, nor did he need to risk his life to prove anything, but he had effortlessly gained the full, trusting support of Qian Daoliu without revealing a single trump card.

Luo Chen didn't even know what to say; he truly wanted to kneel and kowtow to the Angel Statue that had helped him so much, just as Qian Daoliu had done while praying earlier!

Just as Luo Chen was lost in his wild thoughts, Qian Daoliu gently patted his shoulder.

"Let's go. I'll take you out to meet the other Worships of my Martial Soul Hall."

Qian Daoliu smiled kindly, and upon hearing this, Luo Chen naturally nodded and obediently followed behind him.

He wasn't afraid of anything anymore.

Although he didn't know Qian Daoliu that well, one thing could be confirmed through the original work: he would absolutely never make a joke out of the Angel God.

Therefore, he could fully trust Qian Daoliu now; under these circumstances, Qian Daoliu would certainly never do anything detrimental to him, nor would he ever allow anyone else to harbor such thoughts.

This was the status of the Angel God in Qian Daoliu's heart—unshakable.

Soon, following Qian Daoliu, Luo Chen walked out of the vast golden secret chamber that housed the Angel Statue.

Outside the chamber, Golden Crocodile Douluo was still waiting in place, but he did not know what had just transpired; he only saw Luo Chen following behind Qian Daoliu.

"Big Brother?"

Seeing Luo Chen following behind Qian Daoliu unscathed, Golden Crocodile Douluo's mind immediately began to run wild.

Could it be that Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji really had a child back then?

Seeming to guess what Golden Crocodile Douluo was thinking, Qian Daoliu gave him a deep look.

"Golden Crocodile, go and call all the other Worships over first. I have something to announce."

"Yes, Big Brother!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly agreed, then hurried away from the Worship Hall in front of the two.

No matter how he guessed or what he thought in his head, as long as Qian Daoliu didn't speak, he wouldn't ask any questions.

After watching Golden Crocodile Douluo depart, Qian Daoliu turned back and smiled at Luo Chen.

"Let's go, Chen'er. I'll take you to wait for them."

"From now on, this is your home."

"Mm-hmm, I will listen to the Great Worship."

Luo Chen nodded obediently, his attitude clearly showing that he would follow whatever arrangements Qian Daoliu made.

This made Qian Daoliu nod in satisfaction.

Soon, via another path, Luo Chen was led by Qian Daoliu to the main hall of the Worship Hall, an assembly chamber.

A golden throne stood high at the front, with the positions of the current Worships of Martial Soul Hall arranged in order on both sides below.

There were neither more nor less, corresponding exactly to the other six people from the original work.

Qian Daoliu sat on the main throne, while Luo Chen was arranged to sit by his side.

As time passed minute by minute, the several Super Douluo arrived at the hall one after another.

Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo, Third Worship Azure Luan Douluo, Fourth Worship Mighty Lion Douluo, Fifth Worship Guang Ling Douluo, and arriving last were the Sixth and Seventh Worships, the two Douluo, Thousand Jun and Falling Devil.

All seven Worships were gathered in the assembly hall, and the atmosphere was exceptionally serious.

Each of them knew very well that since Qian Daoliu had gathered them all in this place, there must be a major matter to announce.

Therefore, the moment they received the message, they all dropped what they were doing and rushed over.

Of course, as they took their seats, they also saw Luo Chen standing next to Qian Daoliu; having already known about this matter, they each began to let their imaginations run wild in their minds.

They even constantly exchanged glances with one another, which made Luo Chen feel a bit embarrassed—so this group of Super Douluo were usually this easygoing with each other?

It wasn't until Qian Daoliu slowly stood up that the six of them switched back to their serious faces for business.

"Everyone should have already guessed that I have summoned you here today to announce the matter regarding Luo Chen."

With one sentence, without any concealment, he directly verified the guesses the Worships had just made.

Luo Chen, standing to the side, clicked his tongue. He hadn't expected Qian Daoliu to be so blunt, but he didn't say anything further; today, he would just stand there and play his part as a mascot, confident that everything would be arranged properly.

Qian Daoliu continued his speech, the content remaining just as straightforward.

The general gist was that Luo Chen would stay in the Worship Hall from now on, and that the several Great Worships were to treat Luo Chen exactly as they treated Qian Renxue.

Luo Chen would enjoy access to all the resources provided by the Worship Hall, and he could consult the Great Worships on anything he didn't understand.

However, the topic of Luo Chen's background was never mentioned, as he himself had not yet confirmed the truth of the matter.

Yet, this no longer mattered to him; regardless of who Luo Chen was, he was now an honored guest of Qian Daoliu and the entire Worship Hall.

As for the truth, he could simply find a time to seek out Bibi Dong and confirm it personally once he had settled Luo Chen in.

After announcing these matters, Qian Daoliu began to introduce the identities of the several Worships to Luo Chen one by one.

The Worships all displayed a very favorable attitude toward Luo Chen, facing him with beaming smiles, which actually made Luo Chen feel a bit socially anxious.

However, once these matters were announced, Qian Daoliu dismissed the Worships.

Although they remained curious about Luo Chen, Qian Daoliu had already given the order that he was not to be disturbed today, so they were in no position to object.

After all the Worships had departed, Qian Daoliu led Luo Chen to a room located in the inner sanctum of the Worship Hall.

"Chen'er, from today on, you shall live here. Residing within the Worship Hall alongside me will make it easier for me to look after you should any situation arise."

"Yes, Great Worship."

"There is no need to be so formal; from now on, we are family."

"If you don't mind, you may simply call me Grandfather in the future."

Luo Chen: "..."
