Dugu Bo's Benevolent Gaze

Everyone from Spirit Hall instantly tensed, killing intent flashing in their eyes. The meaning was obvious: "This boy is terrifying. He must not be allowed to live!"

Sweat broke out in Dugu Bo's palm. He secretly circulated his Soul Power, ready at any moment to take Bai Xiao and Dugu Yan away.

The foolishly sweet Dugu Yan looked utterly confused. "Weren't we listening to a story? Why are they suddenly fighting? And what the hell is Spirit Hall?"

Bai Xiao calmly watched everyone and raised a hand, signaling Dugu Bo not to be so tense.

Seeing how calm Bai Xiao was, Dugu Bo became even less calm. Brat, are you trying to get my granddaughter and me killed? I might not even be able to escape if I tried! Yet you've simply decided not to run!...

Bai Xiao selectively ignored Dugu Bo's resentful little glare and continued hoodwinking the people of Spirit Hall with a mysterious smile. "Aren't you curious how I knew you were from Spirit Hall? And that Xue Qinghe is actually Qian Renxue?"

After Bai Xiao spoke, the surprise in the Spirit Hall group's eyes became even more apparent. The air around them grew ever more silent, laden with even heavier killing intent.

Bai Xiao smiled faintly. "Don't be nervous. With my current strength, I couldn't escape anyway. Besides, I'm not stupid enough to give you a reason to kill me."

The killing intent in Qian Daoliu's eyes gradually faded. "Fine. Go on."

Bai Xiao still wore that calm expression as he continued spinning his tale. "Qian Daoliu, what I know goes beyond that. I also know that when Qian Renxue undergoes the Angel God Trial, you will sacrifice yourself and use your life to help her become a god!"

Qian Daoliu fell silent. Beside him, Qian Renxue could no longer remain calm. She shed her disguise and demanded loudly in her own voice, "Grandfather, what is going on?!"

Bai Xiao and the others watched the spectacle. Bai Xiao munched on the sunflower seeds and snacks prepared while everyone had been listening to Perfect World, sharing them with the nervous Dugu Bo and the bewildered Dugu Yan as they watched this emotional drama unfold.

Qian Renxue shouted at Qian Daoliu again, "Grandfather, why? Why are you going to sacrifice yourself?"

Qian Daoliu remained silent. At that moment, he did not dare look at his granddaughter's tear-streaked face.

"Grandfather, you are my only family! That woman does not acknowledge me as her daughter at all. I would rather not become a god than let you die!" Qian Renxue cried out sorrowfully, tears streaming from her eyes.

Hearing Qian Renxue say she would not become a god, Qian Daoliu could not help himself. "Xue'er, no! Your becoming a god is our family's hope. Our family has worked toward this goal for generations. Grandfather can't do it anymore. Only you can become the Angel God!"

After that lengthy emotional scene, Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu saw Bai Xiao discussing the plot with Spirit Hall's higher-ups. They had their arms around one another's shoulders, calling each other brother after brother, chatting merrily.

Qian Daoliu coughed, and only then did Bai Xiao and the others come back to their senses. The elders immediately stepped away from Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao warmly bid them farewell. "Brother Jin, Brother Ju, Brother Gui, come find me in Heaven Dou City when you have time! I know the area well. Mention my name at Xinghe Group for a discount! You can even get the newest edition of Soul Shattering the Firmament early!"

One of the departing figures replied, "Definitely, definitely. Remember to save an Immortal Herb for me. I'll pay fifty percent above market price!"

"Brother Bai, don't forget my autobiography!"

The eyelids of two people present twitched wildly. One was Qian Daoliu, and the other was Dugu Bo.

Qian Daoliu thought, I should never have let Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo come. This is too humiliating!

Dugu Bo thought, Brat, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are on terrible terms with me, yet you're actually making friends with them!

Hmm, no, that's not right! Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are treating Bai Xiao as a peer, while I'm from Bai Xiao's grandfather's generation, so...

The departing Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo felt Dugu Bo's benevolent gaze.
