Qian Renxue, a Marriage Contract?!

The next day!

Qiangu Aoshi dressed neatly and headed to the Consecration Hall early in the morning.

He had broken through to rank 60 soul power and needed to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to absorb a soul ring, so he naturally had to inform his First Father and Second Father.

Qiangu Aoshi made his way to the Consecration Hall with practiced ease.

Then, at a glance, he saw that besides the seven great consecrators, there was also a beautiful woman in the Consecration Hall. Her long golden hair draped over her shoulders, her beauty was peerless enough to topple kingdoms, and she wore a magnificent golden gown.

A woman who could appear in the Consecration Hall naturally had an identity Qiangu Aoshi had already guessed, but he certainly could not say it outright.

As usual, Qiangu Aoshi greeted the seven consecrators.

"First Father, Second Father, Uncle Angel, Uncle Golden Crocodile, Uncle Azure Luan, Uncle Lion, Uncle Light Feather, good morning. And this lady is?"

Thousand Jun Douluo flashed to Qiangu Aoshi's side and quietly introduced her.

"Aoshi, that is Young Mistress Qian Renxue, the High Consecrator's biological granddaughter. She was sent out on missions when she was very young, so you've never met her. Hurry and greet the Young Mistress."

Qiangu Aoshi put on an enlightened expression.

"Greetings, Young Mistress!"

It was Qian Renxue's first time meeting Qiangu Aoshi, yet she found herself quite fond of him.

Qian Daoliu had not yet told Qian Renxue the truth behind Qian Xunji's death. She still believed Tang Hao had killed Qian Xunji.

Now, Tang Hao had been captured.

Qian Renxue had been playing Xue Qinghe in Heaven Dou City. She announced to the outside world that she needed to enter seclusion to break through her soul power, but in truth, she had reverted to her original identity and rushed back to Spirit Hall to see Tang Hao's miserable state and ease the deep hatred in her heart.

Seeing Tang Hao in such a wretched condition made Qian Renxue feel much better.

She still remembered how gentle and loving her father, Qian Xunji, had been toward her. It was all because of that damned Tang Hao that she had lost her father at such a young age.

A smile bloomed on Qian Renxue's exquisite face, and the entire Consecration Hall seemed to brighten by several degrees.

"Hello, Qiangu Aoshi. Thank you for leading the team that captured Tang Hao. Tang Hao is the man who killed my father, a knot that has long remained in my heart."

"Now that I have seen Tang Hao captured and brought back to Spirit Hall, that knot has finally been untied."

"I will remember this favor. In the future, I will find an opportunity to properly thank you."

At that moment, Golden Crocodile sighed, clenched his fist, and punched the air with a thunderous boom.

"Unfortunately, the red-clad bishops and black-clad bishops I sent to Shrek Academy to capture Tang Hao's son, Tang San, returned to tell me that Shrek Academy had already been emptied. Not a single teacher or student remained."

"Hmph! There must be a spy within Spirit Hall. Tang Hao's son Tang San got away this time because the spy must have tipped him off."

It was also Qian Renxue's first time hearing about this. She turned to Qian Daoliu.

"Grandfather, Spirit Hall actually has a spy colluding with Tang Hao's son? You are stationed here in Spirit Hall, so why haven't you captured them?"

Qian Daoliu closed his eyes and sighed.

Yu Xiaogang's arrival could not possibly have escaped Qian Daoliu's notice. Of course, he knew who that spy was.

"The one who leaked the information to outsiders was your mother, Bibi Dong."

"Xue'er, now is not the best time to bring down your mother. Back then, I overruled all objections and put her in the position of Pope because I wanted her to pave the way for you."

"I wanted a smooth transition before the position of Pope of Spirit Hall passed from your father into your hands."

"If we take down your mother now, while you are far away in the Heaven Dou Empire and unable to return to take charge, who will handle all the affairs of Spirit Hall?"

Qian Renxue's little face flushed red. She had known since childhood that her mother disliked her, but she had never expected her mother to grow increasingly outrageous.

As the Pope of Spirit Hall, she was actually leaking information to outsiders and exposing Spirit Hall's secrets.

"Mother, why would she do such a thing?!"

Qian Renxue was filled with grief and fury. She wanted to rush to the Papal Hall at once to question Bibi Dong, but she suppressed the pain and anger in her heart. It was not yet time to openly break with Bibi Dong.

Before she succeeded to the position of Pope, Spirit Hall still needed someone in charge.

She spoke coldly.

"Tang Hao's son is called Tang San. I refuse to believe he can hide at the ends of the earth. As long as he remains in the Heaven Dou Empire, I will find him and bring him to justice."

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue, then at Qiangu Aoshi. A talented man and a beautiful woman—they were a match made in heaven, and he was exceedingly pleased.

He said with a hearty smile.

"Let's not talk about unpleasant matters now. Aoshi, you led the team that captured Tang Hao, which is a great merit for Spirit Hall. This time, let's see what excuse Bibi Dong can use to reject the documents appointing you as the Holy Son."

Qiangu Aoshi took the opportunity to explain why he had come.

"Uncle Angel, the appointment as Holy Son can wait. I have already broken through to rank 60 soul power, and I want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to absorb my sixth soul ring first."

"What?" Qian Renxue stared at Qiangu Aoshi in disbelief.

"Qiangu Aoshi, judging by your age... you should be quite young, right?"

Thinking of Qian Renxue's astonishing talent, yet how she had only broken through to the Soul Sage realm at nearly thirty, Qiangu Aoshi could not help wanting to laugh.

"Yes, I'm twelve."

Upon hearing that he was twelve, Qian Renxue looked dazed. She was twenty-two, a full ten years older than Qiangu Aoshi, yet she was only a six-ring Soul Emperor.

Once Qiangu Aoshi successfully absorbed his sixth soul ring, he would immediately catch up to her. Qian Renxue felt a little shaken.

She wondered whether she had truly neglected her cultivation these past years.

Demon Subduing Douluo excitedly strode over to Qiangu Aoshi, patted his shoulder, and laughed loudly.

"Good! As expected of the descendant of Sixth Brother and me. A twelve-year-old six-ring Soul Emperor—across the entire Douluo Continent, no one can compare to you."

"This time, Sixth Brother and I will personally take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to absorb your sixth soul ring."

Thousand Jun Douluo looked toward Qian Daoliu.

"Big Brother, my brother and I cannot miss Aoshi's absorption of his sixth soul ring."

Qian Daoliu did not refuse. Smiling, he waved his hand.

"If you want to go, then go. You are the Sixth and Seventh Consecrators of the Consecration Hall, but you are also Aoshi's First Father and Second Father. How could I fail to understand that?"

Thousand Jun and Demon Subduing bowed to Qian Daoliu, then left with Qiangu Aoshi.

After they left.

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue and asked cheerfully.

"Xue'er, what do you think of that child Aoshi?"

Qian Renxue let out a long breath and sincerely praised him.

"Brilliant and peerless. I cannot compare!"

Qian Daoliu clapped his hands and laughed.

"Since you think so highly of him, I'll make the decision and arrange a marriage contract between you two."

Qian Renxue stared at Qian Daoliu in stunned disbelief.

"Grandfather, what marriage contract? He's still a child, and I'm ten years older than him. Aren't you even going to ask whether he is willing?"

Qian Daoliu smiled with kindness and warmth.

"My granddaughter is so beautiful. Even if you are ten years older, that child Aoshi will not refuse."

"Xue'er, you will lead Spirit Hall in the future. You must have a capable helper by your side. With Aoshi assisting you, even if Bibi Dong is unwilling to relinquish power then, you can still forcibly take it from her."

"Moreover, only by joining with the most outstanding member of the opposite sex can one produce descendants with even greater talent. Xue'er, for the future of the Angel lineage, Aoshi is the most suitable spouse for you."

Qian Renxue's fair cheeks burned crimson.

She felt that her grandfather made sense, but Qiangu Aoshi was only a child. If this marriage contract were settled, would that not make her some pervert old cow eating tender grass?

Just thinking about it made her so embarrassed that she had no idea how she would face Qiangu Aoshi in the future.

In truth, she was worrying too much. Whether it was an old cow eating tender grass or a little horse pulling a big cart depended on what Qiangu Aoshi thought.
