In the year 2625 of the Douluo Calendar, Xuan Xiao returned to the parallel world. After leaving the Star Dou Forest, he first made a secret trip to Spirit Hall.
By this point, five years had passed since his departure, and Bibi Dong had become the acting Pope.
It seemed she had truly taken his advice to heart. Judging by the cold, noble aura around her, she had undoubtedly gone to Slaughter City.
However, Xuan Xiao did not disturb her and instead paid another visit to the Worship Hall.
Qian Xunji had completely resigned from his position as Pope. He was now teaching a toddler of about two or three how to walk alongside his wife and his father, Qian Daoliu.
The little girl had sapphire-like eyes and long golden hair. She was presumably Qian Renxue from the original story.
He did not disturb them either, merely taking a simple glance from afar before leaving.
"Hmm?"
Qian Daoliu suddenly turned to look in the direction outside Spirit City.
Seeing that his father's expression had changed, Qian Xunji hurriedly asked.
"Father, what is it? Why do you look so grave?"
Qian Daoliu did not answer directly, only saying in a low voice.
"Take Xiao Xue inside first."
"Yes, Father."
Seeing that Qian Daoliu's expression was off, the beautiful woman immediately picked up Qian Renxue and returned to the room.
Only after his wife and child had entered the room did Qian Xunji lower his voice and ask.
"Father?"
Qian Daoliu frowned, his gaze still fixed on the distant horizon.
"Someone was watching us just now."
Qian Xunji's expression changed, and he instinctively moved to summon his Martial Soul.
"Who? How dare they spy on the Worship Hall on Spirit Hall territory?"
Qian Daoliu reached out and pressed down on his shoulder.
