Persuading Qian Renxue to Return to Spirit City

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Tai Yi also spoke up to Qian Renxue:

"Xue'er, Grandfather is right. Why don't you just come back to Spirit City with us this time?"

Hearing the advice from the two people she cared about most, Qian Renxue didn't know what to say. On one hand, she knew clearly that staying undercover was a waste of her talent and delayed her prime cultivation time.

On the other hand, Qian Renxue recalled Bibi Dong—the person she had wanted to be close to since childhood, yet who had always treated her like an enemy. Her choice to go undercover was her way of proving herself to Bibi Dong.

Proving herself to her own mother.

So, despite the advice from Qian Daoliu and Tai Yi, Qian Renxue shook her head and said:

"It's fine. I will pay attention to my cultivation time in the future; I won't let it fall behind. I will stay in the Heaven Dou Empire and continue my infiltration. I will prove myself to that woman."

Watching the determined look on Qian Renxue's face, Qian Daoliu, as her grandfather, sighed, not knowing what else to say. He could only watch her stubbornness. Furthermore, Qian Daoliu knew exactly what his son had done to Bibi Dong, and he knew the Qian family owed her a debt. That was why he never forcefully demanded anything of her.

Otherwise, how could he have stood by and watched his granddaughter get scolded and cry in front of Bibi Dong time and time again?

Tai Yi didn't know what to say either, but he still wanted to bring Qian Renxue back to Spirit City. After all, he had long since considered her his future wife; how could he just watch her waste her time in Heaven Dou City?

Therefore, Tai Yi asked Qian Renxue:

"Xue'er, are you staying in Heaven Dou City purely to prove yourself to the Pope?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue nodded directly and said:

"From childhood to now, no matter when she sees me, she looks at me with disgust, yet she dotes on her disciple as if she were her own daughter. I don't understand why. I am clearly her daughter, so I must prove myself to her. I will take over the Heaven Dou Empire."

Hearing this, Tai Yi thought to himself: Xue'er, if you knew what your father did to Bibi Dong, you might understand why she hates you so much.

However, Tai Yi naturally wouldn't say this out loud. After all, in Qian Daoliu's eyes, he was just a seven-year-old child; he shouldn't know about such things.

Then, Tai Yi thought of Bibi Dong, the future Rakshasa God.

He suddenly found a reason to convince Qian Renxue to return to Spirit City, so he said to her:

"Xue'er, if you want to prove yourself to the Pope, you should return to Spirit City even more."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue cast a puzzled look at him.

Tai Yi continued:

"Xue'er, didn't Grandfather say you are to inherit the Angel God's position in the future? The Pope has also inherited a god's position now. If you want to prove yourself to her, why not prove it in this regard? Just work hard and strive to become a god before she does."

As Tai Yi's words fell, not only Qian Renxue but even Qian Daoliu was stunned.

"What? She was also chosen by a god? Little Yi, how do you know this?"

Qian Daoliu asked, looking very surprised.

To this, Tai Yi replied:

"Grandfather, didn't I also inherit a god's position? That god told me at the time that Bibi Dong had also inherited one."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu didn't know what to say; his mood was incredibly complex. There was some joy, of course, as Spirit Hall now had another successor to a god's position.

But Qian Daoliu knew that his daughter-in-law in name harbored deep hatred for him and the Qian family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept this a secret and hidden it so deliberately.

Watching Qian Daoliu's expression, Tai Yi naturally guessed what he was thinking, so he said:

"Grandfather, I think there is a reason the Pope hasn't mentioned it. It is because the god's position she inherited happens to be the polar opposite of the Angel God, which is why she kept it quiet."

Qian Daoliu didn't say anything to that, but looking at his solemn expression, Tai Yi couldn't guess what he was thinking at that moment.

On the other side, after hearing Tai Yi's words, Qian Renxue asked:

"Little Yi, are you really sure?"

"Of course I'm sure. Besides, she only inherited it recently. If you return to Spirit City now and start your cultivation, following the steps to inherit the godhood with Grandfather's guidance, it's not certain who will become a god first! By then, how could she still look down on you? And once you both become gods, you will have infinite lifespans. Even if she likes her disciple, what does it matter? You, her daughter, are the one who will be by her side the longest."

Tai Yi said.

Hearing Tai Yi's words, Qian Renxue clearly showed signs of being moved. After all, if she could go home, who would want to stay out here? But then she thought, if she went back, wouldn't the four or five years she spent infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire be in vain?

Qian Renxue fell into silence.

As her grandfather, Qian Daoliu naturally saw that she was wavering. In order to get his granddaughter home and stop her from wasting her talent, he stopped worrying about the situation with Bibi Dong.

He quickly said to Qian Renxue:

"Little Yi is right, Xue'er. Go back and cultivate hard. Strive to inherit the godhood as soon as possible. Reaching level one hundred and becoming a god is the only correct choice. By then, your mother will naturally acknowledge you."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue was even more tempted, so she said:

"Grandfather, Little Yi, I certainly want to return to Spirit City. Since that woman has also inherited a god's position, we can compete to see who becomes a god first. But I have been undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire for four or five years. If I just leave, wouldn't all those years be wasted? Thinking of that, I feel reluctant to let my hard work go to waste."

Hearing Qian Renxue finally relent and agree to return, Qian Daoliu's previous gloom vanished instantly. As long as she was willing to go back, that was the best thing for him.

As for her concern that her years of hard work would go down the drain, Qian Daoliu said to her:

"Xue'er, your years of infiltration won't be in vain. Once we leave, I will have someone take your place to continue the mission. All you need to do now is come back with us."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue finally nodded and said:

"Since Grandfather has already arranged it, then let's go back. It will be a good chance to let that woman see me, and I can cultivate to godhood alongside Little Yi."
