At His Age, Taking the Blame for Someone Else
Qian Daoliu looked towards the doorway and watched Jun Xuehan slowly walk in. He subtly gave Golden Crocodile a wink.
Seeing Qian Daoliu's expression, Golden Crocodile immediately nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
As soon as Jun Xuehan stepped into the Worship Hall, he felt an overwhelming pressure bearing down on him. Without time to think, he circulated his Soul Power around his body to resist the pressure.
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, what are you doing!" Upon Qian Renxue immediately frowned, stood up and blocked Jun Xuehan's way, looking at Golden Crocodile with displeasure.
"This... this is the aura of a god!" Qian Daoliu sensed the aura emanating from Jun Xuehan's Soul Power, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
As Divine Envoy, he would naturally not be mistaken about the aura of the gods.
If five years ago, Jun Xuehan needed to unleash her Martial Soul to sense the Sisi divine essence within it, then now, even without releasing his Martial Soul, Qian Daoliu can sense the divine essence within his Soul Power.
There are two main reasons for this. First, Jun Xuehan's Martial Soul and Bloodline have been restored.
Secondly, it's because of the Tender Seedling in Jun Xuehan's mind.
"Golden Crocodile, there's a limit to jokes. Although Xuehan hasn't been back for a long time, this joke of yours has gone a bit too far." Qian Daoliu stood up calmly, put his hand on Golden Crocodile's shoulder, and gave Jun Xuehan a gentle smile.
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Golden Crocodile looked somewhat bewildered. He had been following Qian Daoliu's lead, so how could he have been pushed onto the blame in the blink of an eye?
But Golden Crocodile reacted quickly, immediately withdrawing his Soul Power pressure and saying with a smile, "Haha, big brother, I haven't seen Xuehan for a long time and wanted to see how his recent cultivation progress is."
Jun Xuehan glanced at the two men, inwardly grumbling, "[Great Worship Elder, don't try to absolve yourself of all responsibility. Knowing the Second Worship, he would never have done this without your instigation.]" He had been studying Body Cultivation under Golden Crocodile for several years and knew Golden Crocodile very well. Without Qian Daoliu's instigation, Golden Crocodile would never have used his aura to intimidate him from the start.
Jun Xuehan was also very clear about the reason for Qian Daoliu's change of attitude. It was simply because of his divinity. After his Martial Soul and Bloodline were completed, the divinity within them was incomparable to what it used to be.
Knowing this was one thing, but Jun Xuehan had no intention of saying it directly. After all, some things are better left unsaid.
Hearing the voice echoing in her heart, Qian Renxue couldn't help but pout, looking at Golden Crocodile with an unhappy expression.
"Second Worship, how is my cultivation progress?" Jun Xuehan asked the Golden Crocodile with great respect.
"Not bad, not bad." Golden Crocodile smiled gently, his voice full of satisfaction.
Golden Crocodile has always been very satisfied with Jun Xuehan, not only because of her high talent in cultivation, but also because of her good character and moral qualities.
If Jun Xuehan hadn't been the first to enter the Pope's Palace, he might have had another successor.
"You're back. Sit down. Feel at home here, don't feel constrained." Qian Daoliu smiled and beckoned to Jun Xuehan to sit down.
"Hmph." Qian Renxue snorted coldly at the Golden Crocodile and pulled Jun Xuehan to sit down in front of Qian Daoliu.
Upon seeing this, Golden Crocodile couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. "Your grandfather made me do this, but I'm the one who's taking the blame."
At my age, I'm being made a scapegoat.
Looking towards Golden Crocodile, he glanced at Qian Daoliu without making a sound.
"Great Worship Elder!" Jun Xuehan sat directly in front of Qian Daoliu and said respectfully.
"Still calling me Great Worship Elder? Just call me Grandpa, no need to be so formal." Qian Daoliu waved his hand, his voice full of kindness.
"Okay, Grandpa," Jun Xuehan nodded gently and said softly.
"Good, haha, the first time I saw you, I felt that you were destined for great things, and now that I see you, I'm sure I wasn't wrong." Qian Daoliu chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping over Jun Xuehan.
Before he arrived, he was still somewhat displeased with Jun Xuehan because of what Qian Renxue had said.
But now, the more he looks at him, the more pleasing he becomes. When he first Jun Xuehan, he thought Jun Xuehan was someone abandoned by the gods. But now, judging from the divinity that has increased in Jun Xuehan, he is someone who is very likely to become a god.
Moreover, the chance of becoming a god is over 70%, because the divinity in Jun Xuehan has even subtly surpassed the divinity possessed by his granddaughter Qian Renxue.
"Grandpa, you flatter me," Jun Xuehan said softly, not taking Qian Daoliu's words too seriously.
"As long as you cultivate diligently, your future is promising." Qian Daoliu smiled nonchalantly.
Qian Renxue looked at her grandfather and smiled, saying, "Grandpa, I have something else to say. In Xuehan's Spiritual Sea, there is a Tender Seedling of some unknown thing."
"That Tender Seedling has many uses, but we don't know what it is or whether it will harm Xuehan, so I want Grandpa to take a look."
Qian Renxue looked at her grandfather with a serious expression, while Jun Xuehan looked somewhat helpless but didn't say anything.
After all, Qian Renxue was doing this for her own good.
"Oh, let me see." Qian Daoliu's eyes showed surprise. He directly extended a finger, and Pale Golden Soul Power flowed at his fingertip. He pointed at Jun Xuehan's brow, closed his eyes, and carefully felt it.
As his Soul Power probed into Jun Xuehan's Spiritual Sea, Qian Daoliu clearly found the Tender Seedling that Qian Renxue had mentioned. And when his Soul Power touched the Tender Seedling, it was immediately absorbed by Tender Seedling.
Qian Daoliu opened his eyes, shook his head, and said, "I don't know what that thing is, but it should be something left behind by the gods, radiating an incomparably vast divinity."
"Moreover, that thing will automatically protect its owner, so it should pose no harm to Xuehan."
Qian Daoliu spoke calmly, but his voice betrayed an undisguised surprise. Although he didn't recognize the object, he was quite certain, judging from the divinity it emanated, that it was something left behind by a god.
"Grandpa, you're Limit Douluo, how could you not know?" Qian Renxue pouted and said softly.
"The world is vast and full of wonders. Even if I were Limit Douluo, I couldn't possibly know everything," Qian Daoliu with a nonchalant smile.
