What Do You Mean the Heart of the Sea God Is at the Ye Clan?

Li Changqing fell silent.

He lowered his head to look at his palm. With a slight stir of his thoughts, a wisp of pale green life energy emerged in his hand, dancing like a firefly.

The Ye Clan's Ancestral Land could actually divine his existence!

That was rather interesting.

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi narrowed her beautiful eyes, her gaze sharpening.

She did not agree immediately. Instead, she slowly asked, "In that case, why should we help you? And would helping you have any adverse consequences?"

Her words were very direct, even somewhat cold-hearted, but that was simply her style.

Others might not know Li Changqing's identity, but that did not mean she did not.

Li Changqing was the son of a God King. His status was extraordinarily noble.

If anything happened to him in the lower realm, not only would the Goddess of Life fly into a rage, even the Sea God would be furious.

When that time came, she, his protector, would be in serious trouble.

So upon hearing this, her first reaction was whether there was any danger.

If there was danger, then it was absolutely out of the question.

And if there was no danger, what benefits could they gain?

Ye Wanqing had clearly expected Bo Saixi to ask this.

She pondered for a moment before saying, "There is. I heard from my ancestor that there is a treasure in the Ancestral Land. What was it called again... the Heart of the Sea God, I think."

The moment those words were spoken, Bo Saixi froze.

Li Changqing was dumbfounded as well.

Li Changqing in particular was completely stunned.

If he remembered correctly, the Heart of the Sea God should have been gathering dust in the Heaven Dou imperial family's treasury, treated as a national treasure and lucky charm.

How had it ended up in the Ye Clan's Ancestral Land?

Was that reasonable?

Was that right?

After a brief moment of shock, Bo Saixi was the first to recover.

She narrowed her beautiful eyes and fixed Ye Wanqing with an intense stare, a trace of gravity in her voice. "Are you sure it is the Heart of the Sea God?"

One of her missions in leaving Sea God Island was to find the Heart of the Sea God and bring it back.

Therefore, if the Heart of the Sea God truly was in the Ye Clan's Ancestral Land, then whether Ye Wanqing agreed or not, she had to enter and retrieve it.

Ye Wanqing nodded and said firmly, "Yes. Although I have never seen it myself, if I remember correctly, my ancestor's instructions mentioned the four words 'Heart of the Sea God' and said it was the treasure of some deity. Of course, I do not know whether that is true, since I have never seen it. If you are interested in it, then after resolving our Ye Clan's flaw and finding the Heart of the Sea God, we can use it as payment. Or if there is anything else you want, as long as we have it, we can give it to you."

She paused, then added, "As for whether there is any danger... Senior, you may rest assured. Lingling went in to play when she was little, and nothing happened to her. Besides, if anything unexpected or dangerous truly occurs, Senior can take someone out at any time. I guarantee I will not stop you."

Bo Saixi fell silent.

She picked up her teacup and took a light sip, her eyes flickering as she clearly considered the matter.

The Heart of the Sea God was actually in the Ye Clan's Ancestral Land?

That was beyond her expectations.

She had originally thought that the Heart of the Sea God would be in the hands of some powerful figure in Heaven Dou City, or hidden somewhere secret, requiring a great deal of time and effort to find.

She had not expected it to be right in the Ye Clan's Ancestral Land.

If that was truly the case, then she had no choice but to make this trip.

Bo Saixi set down her teacup, looked at Li Changqing, and asked, "Xiao Qing, what do you think?"

Li Changqing recovered from his shock, thought for a moment, and said, "Since Sister Lingling went in when she was little and was fine, there should not be much danger. And if we really can find the Heart of the Sea God, that would be an unexpected gain. I think we can give it a try."

Bo Saixi nodded, then looked at Ye Wanqing. "All right, we agree. However, if there is any danger inside the Ancestral Land, I will immediately take Xiao Qing and leave. When that happens, do not blame me for turning hostile."

As a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, she naturally possessed both the ability and courage to do so.

Ye Wanqing hurriedly nodded. "Naturally. Senior, rest assured. My Ye Clan would never do something so ungrateful."

Only then did Bo Saixi nod in satisfaction. "All right, then. When are we going to the Ancestral Land?"

Ye Wanqing said, "Tomorrow morning. I will personally take you there."

Meanwhile, in the East Palace of the Heaven Dou imperial family.

Morning sunlight streamed through the carved window lattice into the room, casting dappled patterns of light across the floor.

Qian Renxue stood before the window, her golden hair gleaming faintly beneath the sunlight.

She gazed at the bustling Heaven Dou City beyond the window, seemingly lost in thought.

Qian Daoliu stood behind her. Looking at his granddaughter's graceful figure from behind, a complicated expression flashed through his eyes.

He was silent for a moment before slowly speaking. "Xue'er, Grandpa is leaving. Before I go, there is still something I need to tell you."

Qian Renxue turned around, walked up to Qian Daoliu, and asked, "Grandpa, what is it?"

Qian Daoliu looked at her, a trace of solemnity in his gaze. "Whether you and Li Changqing can form a marriage alliance or not, you must not become enemies with him. You should even help him as much as possible. Do you understand?"

Qian Renxue was momentarily stunned, then smiled brightly. "Don't worry, Grandpa. I understand that much. Setting everything else aside, with Senior Bo Saixi protecting him, I could not possibly do anything to him. What is more, there is a mysterious deity standing behind him. Offending him would not benefit me in the slightest."

Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction.

He knew his granddaughter had always been clever and perceptive, understanding how to weigh gains and losses. She did not require much concern from him.

He reached out and gently patted Qian Renxue's shoulder. "It is good that you understand. Then Grandpa will be leaving. Be careful on your own."

"Travel safely, Grandpa," Qian Renxue said obediently.

Qian Daoliu nodded. Then, with a flash, his entire figure vanished from the room out of thin air, as though he had never been there.

Qian Renxue stood where she was, staring in the direction where her grandfather had disappeared, silent for a moment.

Then she turned around, walked to the window, and reached out to close it.

She returned to her chair, picked up the cup of tea on the table that had long since gone cold, and took a light sip. Her eyes gleamed with thought.

"Bo Saixi... a deity's descendant... the Heart of the Sea God..."

She murmured softly, the corners of her lips slowly curving into a meaningful smile. "This is getting more and more interesting."

She set down the teacup, her fingers lightly tapping against the tabletop in a steady rhythm.

Li Changqing, the Ancient Tree of Life, a deity's descendant who had come down from the God Realm.

Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island, a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, personally serving as his protector.

And now, they were searching for the Heart of the Sea God.

All of it pointed in one direction: the God Realm.

Qian Renxue raised her head, her gaze seeming to pierce through the roof toward somewhere higher and farther away.

"The God Realm... one day, I will go there too," she murmured, her voice carrying a trace of determination and yearning.
