Inside the office, the atmosphere turned somewhat delicate.

Ning Fengzhi and Qian Renxue had both extended olive branches, only for Bo Saixi to casually refuse them. The rejection caught them both off guard.

The smile on Ning Fengzhi's face stiffened slightly, while Qian Renxue's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Just then, Chen Xin, who stood beside Ning Fengzhi, suddenly spoke.

He stepped forward, his hawk-sharp eyes fixed intently on Bo Saixi. With a trace of gravity and probing in his tone, he asked, "May I ask what your title is, Senior?"

The moment those words were spoken, everyone except Gu Rong was stunned.

Ning Fengzhi abruptly turned his head and stared at Chen Xin in disbelief.

He had followed Chen Xin for decades and knew Sword Douluo's temperament well.

Chen Xin had devoted his life to the sword, and his nature was proud and aloof. He never readily acknowledged others.

For him to willingly address someone as "Senior," there could only be one explanation.

Her cultivation was above his.

But how was that possible?

Chen Xin was a level ninety-six peak Douluo, only one step away from level ninety-seven.

Across the entire continent, there were only a handful of people whose cultivation surpassed his, and every one of them was a long-famous old monster.

Even if Ning Fengzhi had not met those people, he had at least heard of them.

Yet this woman, who looked no older than her twenties, had actually made Chen Xin call her Senior!

Qian Renxue was equally shaken.

As Spirit Hall's true Saintess, she knew her own organization inside and out.

She had met every old monster in Spirit Hall's Worship Hall and remembered each of them clearly.

But there were no women among them, let alone someone like the woman before her.

So the question was, who exactly was this woman?

And had she really come here merely to accompany a child to school?

Did she truly have no other motives?

Bo Saixi glanced at Chen Xin, her calm eyes utterly undisturbed.

Then she turned to look at Qian Renxue, her gaze lingering on the latter for about two seconds.

Qian Renxue's heart suddenly skipped a beat beneath that look.

For some reason, she felt as though she had been seen through.

Those eyes seemed able to pierce through her disguise and see her true appearance and identity.

But how could that be?

Her disguise technique came from the Angel Soul Bone. Even Golden Crocodile Douluo, whose Soul Power had reached level ninety-eight, could not see through it.

How could this woman possibly...

Bo Saixi withdrew her gaze and spoke calmly.

Her voice was not loud, yet it reached every person's ears with perfect clarity. "Title: Sea God."

As her words fell, an incomparably immense pressure burst forth from Bo Saixi.

The pressure was vast as the sea and deep as an abyss, as though an invisible mountain had descended from the heavens and enveloped the entire office.

Ning Fengzhi felt his knees weaken, nearly collapsing to the ground. He hurriedly circulated his Soul Power and barely managed to remain standing.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong's expressions changed drastically. They simultaneously released the auras of Titled Douluos, trying to resist that pressure.

But after holding out for merely three seconds, they were forced to bend at the waist.

Qian Renxue felt an even more suffocating pressure rush toward her.

The Angel Soul Power within her began circulating automatically, and a flash of golden light flickered through her eyes.

But even so, she remained pinned down, unable to move.

Within the entire office, everyone except Bo Saixi and Li Changqing was suppressed in place and unable to move.

Everyone's expressions changed dramatically.

Qian Renxue in particular felt stormy waves rise in her heart.

Others might not know what the four words "Sea God Douluo" represented, but how could she not know?

Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi was an ultimate powerhouse who stood alongside her grandfather, Qian Daoliu. Her cultivation had reached level ninety-nine.

She was also Sea God Island's High Priest, the Sea God's representative in the mortal world!

No wonder she had felt as if she had been seen through. The background of the woman before her was actually this terrifying.

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue instead calmed down.

As long as she was not some other unfamiliar powerhouse, it was fine.

Since it was Bo Saixi, there was still room to maneuver.

After all, judging from what had just happened, Bo Saixi did not seem to intend to expose her identity.

Moreover, with Bo Saixi's status and standing, she truly had no need to get involved in the mess between Spirit Hall and the Tiandou Empire.

As for Li Changqing...

If he could make a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo like Bo Saixi personally accompany and protect him at close range, then his identity needed no further explanation.

He was either connected to the Sea God or to some other deity. In any case, he could not possibly be an ordinary mortal.

Because no mortal commanded that kind of respect.

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Bo Saixi slowly withdrew her pressure.

The air in the office began to flow freely again, and only then did Ning Fengzhi and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

But the way they looked at Bo Saixi was now filled with reverence.

"Do you have any more questions now?" Bo Saixi asked indifferently.

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly cupped his hands, his attitude more than ten times more respectful than before. "It was I who failed to recognize greatness and offended you, Senior. I ask for your forgiveness."

Qian Renxue also hurriedly bowed. "I did not know that Senior Sea God had arrived, and I have been neglectful. Please forgive me, Senior."

Bo Saixi waved her hand, her tone calm. "Those who do not know are not at fault. I came to Heaven Dou City only to accompany my younger brother to school. I do not wish to draw attention. I hope you can keep my identity secret and not spread it around."

"Of course, of course," Ning Fengzhi hastily agreed with a nod.

Qian Renxue nodded as well, indicating that she understood.

Seeing this, Bo Saixi did not linger any longer. She took Li Changqing's hand and turned toward the door.

When they reached the doorway, Li Changqing suddenly looked back at Qian Renxue, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

The smile was faint and vanished in an instant, yet it made Qian Renxue's heart skip another beat.

This child...

He was no simple child either.

Bo Saixi and Li Changqing disappeared through the door, and the office fell into a long silence.

After a long while, Ning Fengzhi finally spoke slowly, his voice carrying a trace of bitterness. "I never expected such a terrifying existence to come to Heaven Dou City."

Chen Xin sighed as well. "A level ninety-nine Limit Douluo... I have pursued the sword all my life and believed I had already reached the peak. Yet before a true Peerless Douluo, I am still so utterly helpless."

"What?"

"A level ninety-nine Limit Douluo?"

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong widened their eyes. They had never imagined that the woman from earlier was actually a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo.

One had to know that level ninety-nine Limit Douluos stood at the very peak of the continent. Over the past century, there had only been two.

They were Tang Chen, the former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, and Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall's current High Priest.

And now, there was another one.

Qian Renxue stood to the side without speaking.

But her gaze remained fixed on the direction in which Bo Saixi and Li Changqing had left, complex light flickering in her eyes.

Sea God Island... Bo Saixi... Li Changqing...

It seemed Heaven Dou City was about to become lively.

And she needed to tell Grandfather this information!
