Would Lord Heavenly Dao Really Go Back on His Word?

Qian Daoliu looked over the suddenly noisy and chaotic scene, then turned his gaze to Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong. At this moment, he truly did not know what to say...

He had never expected Qian Renxue to make this so-called ten-year agreement with Bibi Dong today, in front of so many people...

Although he was extremely satisfied with his beloved granddaughter's talent, and considered her the greatest prodigy on the continent in ten thousand years, Qian Daoliu did not believe that Qian Renxue could surpass Bibi Dong and reach above level ninety-five in merely ten years.

Qian Daoliu's prior expectations for Qian Renxue had only been for her to reach Soul Emperor within ten years. If she could become a Soul Saint within ten years, he could die smiling.

"Xiaoxue is still too young. She was somewhat rash." Qian Daoliu sighed. Though his words carried a hint of reproach, he did not take the matter too seriously in his heart.

If she could not defeat her in ten years, then twenty. Thirty!

In any case, with him, her grandfather, protecting her, given Qian Renxue's talent, she would surpass Bibi Dong sooner or later and become a god before her!

At the center of the ceremony, beneath everyone's gaze, Bibi Dong, who had been challenged, curled her lips into a cold smile and accepted without hesitation.

"Fine! I hope the Holy Maiden of our Spirit Hall keeps her word! Do not go back on it when the time comes!"

"This Pope will wait for you for ten years! If I truly lose on this day ten years from now, I will immediately surrender the position of Pope without a second word!"

"I hope Her Highness the Holy Maiden will not disappoint this Pope when the time comes!"

With that, Bibi Dong turned and left. Amid her anger, she also felt a trace of delight and contempt toward Qian Renxue!

She admitted that Qian Renxue was talented! Exceptionally talented!

But so what?

She was ultimately a genius who had yet to grow!

Ten years!

Forget ten years—even if Qian Renxue were given fifteen or twenty years, she could never surpass her!

Her "good daughter" was far too arrogant!

Did she really think a God-tier Martial Soul meant she could look down on everyone?

One had to know that even a reincarnated deity could not leap from Soul Elder to Title Douluo in a single stroke within ten years!

What a naïve little wretch!

Ten years from now, this Pope would certainly teach her a lesson she would never forget for the rest of her life! A cruel smile rose on Bibi Dong's pink lips.

Watching Bibi Dong's departing back and recalling the look in her eyes as she left, Qian Renxue clenched her little fists tightly!

If she had made the ten-year agreement earlier purely for that fifty-thousand-year soul bone and the so-called "truth"...

Then now, Qian Renxue's goal had changed!

Bibi Dong's disdainful gaze, along with the shocked, angry, contemptuous discussions below that were mixed with all sorts of emotions, constantly provoked Qian Renxue's heart.

She would! She would definitely defeat her mother ten years from now!

Qian Renxue's gaze was stubborn!

Qian Renxue returned to her bedchamber in exhaustion and flung herself straight onto the soft bed.

Thinking of her grandfather's advice when she returned, she bit her lip tightly.

"Xiaoxue, you needn't demand so much of yourself. Even if you fail ten years from now, it will be nothing. With your talent, you will surpass Bibi Dong sooner or later. If ten years is not enough, then twenty, thirty! You will defeat Bibi Dong eventually, and the position of Spirit Hall Pope will surely belong to you in the future!"

"Even Grandpa doesn't believe I can achieve this goal?" Qian Renxue messily tugged at her golden hair, her expression somewhat melancholy.

She had not expected that after the ten-year agreement was made, not only would the other Spirit Hall members not believe in her, but even her grandfather and Uncles Qianjun and Jiang Mo would not believe in her!

Unlike the others, those three knew about her talent! A heaven-defying Soul Elder with three ten-thousand-year soul rings!

Yet even under such circumstances, they believed she could not defeat Bibi Dong ten years from now...

For a moment, the goal that had just arisen in Qian Renxue's heart began to waver.

One had to know that Qian Daoliu, Qianjun, and Jiang Mo were all Title Douluo above level ninety-five, especially Qian Daoliu, who was level ninety-nine!

Three super experts who knew the situation well had all reached such a conclusion...

"Ugh, this is so annoying~"

Qian Renxue viciously rubbed her hair, rolled over, and stared blankly at the bed canopy above her!

After a long while!

"No!"

Qian Renxue abruptly sat up. She suddenly realized something—was this not what Lord Heavenly Dao had asked her to do?

If she could not do it, why not ask Lord Heavenly Dao what she should do?

Why was she torturing her brain like this!

Since Lord Heavenly Dao had told her to say those words and set this goal, there had to be a solution!

Besides, she had already completed the task Lord Heavenly Dao gave her. Wasn't it time for Lord Heavenly Dao to fulfill his promise as well?

A fifty-thousand-year soul bone, Mother, hehe~

Thinking of Lu Chen and realizing that she still had Lord Heavenly Dao, Qian Renxue instantly transformed from a despondent girl questioning life into an energetic, lively girl!

Even her tone became bright and cheerful. "Lord Heavenly Dao, are you there~"

"Yes?"

The familiar voice sounded, and Qian Renxue's expression immediately became excited.

"Lord Heavenly Dao, Lord Heavenly Dao, I already did what you told me to do!"

"Mm!"

"Mm?"

"And then?"

"What do you mean, and then?" Qian Renxue was a little bewildered.

"And what else do you need? If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first! I'm busy right now!"

"Busy?" Qian Renxue froze, then a trace of apology appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, Lord Heavenly Dao. Xiaoxue did not mean to disturb you."

When she had heard Lord Heavenly Dao's questioning tone just now, she had thought Lord Heavenly Dao intended to go back on his word and cheat this little girl's reward!

She had never expected Lord Heavenly Dao to be busy with something else! As Heavenly Dao, whatever he was busy with had to be important, right?

To take time out of his busy schedule to respond to a little Soul Elder like her—Lord Heavenly Dao was such a kind person~

Qian Renxue did not doubt Lu Chen's words in the slightest. As Lord Heavenly Dao, it was perfectly normal for him to be occupied with countless affairs!

"Good that you know you were wrong! Tell me, what is it?"

Lu Chen's voice revealed neither joy nor anger, but Qian Renxue inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said:

"It's just that, Lord Heavenly Dao, do you still remember what Xiaoxue told you this morning about inheriting the position of Holy Maiden..."

Hm?

This morning?

Qian Renxue realized something was wrong!

She had met Lord Heavenly Dao only this morning and even poured out the pressure in her heart to him. Lord Heavenly Dao had even teased her over the agreement.

How could only a few hours have passed, yet Lord Heavenly Dao seemed to have forgotten all about it?

No way, no way—could it really be just as she thought?

Could Lord Heavenly Dao be acting this way because he truly intended to go back on his word?

But if Lord Heavenly Dao did not keep the agreement and truly intended to break his promise, what was she supposed to do?

Um...

Qian Renxue's mind went blank once more...

Lu Chen: "Does she have a brain or not?"
