Heaven Is Helping Me—Can I Snatch the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor?

"This isn't urgent. There's plenty of time!" Qian Xunji gave a bitter smile, then slowly rose to his feet. "Father, I should also tell you that I plan to leave Spirit Hall for a while."

"Hm?" Qian Daoliu frowned slightly and asked patiently, "Why? As the Pope, how can you abandon your post without authorization?!"

"No particular reason. I just want to get out and clear my head..." Qian Xunji shrugged. "Every time I think about that ungrateful wretch, my chest feels so stifled I can barely breathe."

"If this keeps up, I'm afraid I'll end up with internal injuries from bottling it all up. So I want to go outside and sort out my mood."

"Ridiculous!" Qian Daoliu was somewhat angered. "You are the head of an entire hall! If you just walk away, who will handle Spirit Hall's affairs? How will Spirit Hall continue to function? Absurd!"

"Then that's something you should worry about, Father. Your son has realized he's quite a failure..."

Qian Xunji was not buying any of it. If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him—not even his father!

"Anyway, no matter what you say, I can't stay in Spirit City any longer. If you think this is inappropriate, then either come out of retirement and take charge again, or choose another Pope. Don't send anyone to look for me during this time. No one is to disturb me!"

Having said that, Qian Xunji did not give Qian Daoliu a chance to scold him.

He left with swift decisiveness, vanishing from the hall like a gust of wind. He even remembered to shut the doors behind him.

For a moment, the hall was terrifyingly silent. The Attendants looked at one another, each seeing a trace of astonishment in the others' eyes. It was the first time they had ever seen Qian Xunji act so tough.

"That brat..." Golden Crocodile Douluo stared at the closed doors with an odd expression. "Did he take the wrong medicine today? He actually dared speak to you like that, Big Brother?"

"Alas..." Qian Daoliu sighed softly. "It seems this matter has dealt Xunji a blow far beyond what we imagined."

"It's understandable." Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed. "He painstakingly raised her for fourteen years and loved her as if she were his own daughter."

"In the end, she betrayed him without mercy, and he had to harden his heart and personally cripple her. Sigh, I'd be miserable too if it were me! It's good for Xunji to go out and relax, lest he really bottle something up..."

"Since Xunji wants to go out and ease his mind, let him go," Azure Luan Douluo said.

But he quickly thought of a problem. "Still, with Xunji gone, who will review the Papal Palace's affairs?"

"I'll handle them." Qian Daoliu rubbed his brow wearily. "Starting tomorrow, have the people of the Papal Palace send all official matters to the Consecration Hall. This concerns Spirit Hall's operations, so we cannot be careless!"

"Of course, you lot... will have to help handle them too!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, Lion, Lightfeather, and the others, who had been enjoying the show, instantly changed expression.

"Big Brother? That doesn't seem appropriate, does it? Official affairs are the responsibility of you as the chief Attendant, or as the former Pope. What does it have to do with us?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo protested.

"Exactly, Big Brother. We've cultivated in seclusion for so many years. How would we know how to deal with these trivial affairs?"

Qian Daoliu gave his old brothers a cold glance, then revealed an unusually friendly smile. "Why enjoy it alone when we can all enjoy it together?"

"How could I, as your big brother, possibly forget you when it comes to serving Spirit Hall with all your heart and soul?!"

"Get to work, every last one of you! If anyone dares slack off, this old man will personally spar with him!"

"Big Brother, I suddenly feel that Xunji really was in the wrong for daring to abandon his post! I'll go bring him back right now!"

"Too late!" Qian Daoliu smiled meaningfully. "None of you are getting away. If Xunji wants to go out, let him go!"

The Attendants: "..."

After leaving the Consecration Hall, Qian Xunji looked at the still-churning dark clouds and pouring rain before him, and his mood immediately brightened.

"Finally, I can leave this damned place." Qian Xunji let out a satisfied breath and stretched lazily. "Since I can go out now, why not make my first stop the Blue Silver Emperor?"

"By my calculations, the Blue Silver Emperor and those two from the Clear Sky Sect should have only known each other for a short while, right?!"

This was the true reason he had insisted on leaving for a while!

As a transmigrator who knew the future, he knew that his greatest cheat was the memories in his mind regarding the course of major future events, along with precise information about certain opportunities.

At this point in time, the greatest opportunity on the entire continent was undoubtedly that hundred-thousand-year soul beast who had rebuilt herself into a human and was traveling the continent—the Blue Silver Emperor!

That was the future protagonist's biological mother!

If he could use his foreknowledge to get to this gentle and beautiful Blue Silver Emperor first...

Wouldn't that mean... he could become the future protagonist's father?

At the thought of this possibility, Qian Xunji could not help but grow excited!

Was it not said that in the original timeline, once the protagonist became a god, the entire family ascended with him? Tang Hao became the Lord of the Plane, while A Yin directly became the Core of Life!

Qian Xunji's demands were not high. As long as he could comfortably lie back, casually obtain a Godhood, gain endless longevity, and live comfortably, that would be enough.

As for how to cultivate into a god? That was something the protagonist should worry about!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I hope there's still time!" Qian Xunji smiled faintly. Without further delay, he headed straight for the Papal Palace.

Then, using his authority as the Pope, he easily retrieved all the information he wanted.

As the continent's most powerful force, Spirit Hall's vast network of informants had long since spread across the entire continent.

With Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, the Clear Sky Sect's most outstanding members of the new generation, traveling the continent, how could Spirit Hall possibly not keep a close eye on them?

Qian Xunji sat before his desk, patiently flipping through the reports.

At last, amid the pile of information, he found what he most wanted to know: "One week ago, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect... traveled with an unidentified blue-haired girl..."

Seeing this, Qian Xunji lightly tapped the desk with his fingers and could not help laughing. "One week ago? In other words, the three of them have only just met?!"

"At this point, the Blue Silver Emperor hasn't fallen for Tang Hao yet. Everything is still at that hazy stage of first acquaintance."

"It seems even Heaven is helping me!" Qian Xunji rose comfortably. "Then I'll gladly take this Blue Silver Emperor!"

Romance was far too troublesome. He was a Titled Douluo and the Pope of Spirit Hall—why did he need to make things so complicated?

What did a hundred-thousand-year soul beast fear most? Being exposed before a Titled Douluo before reaching maturity!

After all, Titled Douluo had the ability to see through soul beasts that had taken human form. A mere Blue Silver Emperor would be easy to handle, wouldn't she?
