Jin Hao had no intention of hiding it from Golden Crocodile Douluo, so he told Jin E the reason he had given Qian Renxue.
"Grandpa, if you had asked me to return right after I arrived in the Heaven Dou Empire, I might have gone back immediately. But things are different now."
"Grandpa, I found something related to a Godhead within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. So I plan to remain in the Heaven Dou Empire and obtain that thing to acquire a Godhead. That is why I do not want to leave."
Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's initial astonishment turned into delight.
Something connected to a Godhead, something that might even allow someone to obtain a Godhead's inheritance.
How could this not make Golden Crocodile Douluo happy? Jin E knew the power of a Godhead's inheritance well. As the Second Worship of Worship Hall, he understood the gap between himself and Qian Daoliu. Both he and Qian Daoliu possessed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring as their ninth Soul Ring, yet he was merely a Level 98 Super Douluo, while Qian Daoliu was a Level 99 Peerless Douluo.
Their talents were roughly equal, and the reason for this was that Qian Daoliu guarded the Angel Godhead. Even though Qian Daoliu could not inherit the Godhead, he could still undergo the Seven Trials and become the Angel God's High Priest. His Soul Rings had even become eight black and one red, allowing him to become a Peerless Douluo.
Thus, Jin E thought that if Jin Hao truly found a Godhead, then even if he could not inherit it and become a god, he could still use it to improve himself.
But in Jin E's view, that possibility was impossible, because Golden Crocodile Douluo had absolute faith in his grandson's talent. His grandson possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, and before even reaching eight years old, he was already a Level 27 Soul Grandmaster. With such talent, how could he possibly fail to become a god?
Thinking of this, Golden Crocodile Douluo grew excited and said to Jin Hao,
"Xiao Hao, what is this thing within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? How about Grandpa summons your other grandpas from Worship Hall? The seven of us can act together. No matter what it is, we will seize it for you."
Jin Hao hurriedly responded upon hearing that.
"Grandpa, there is no need. I will handle this thing myself. After all, if you truly reveal this matter, Bibi Dong from Pope's Palace may learn of it. Even if we seize it, what if Bibi Dong comes to take it away?"
"So, Grandpa, it is enough for you to know. Do not tell anyone else, so we can avoid unnecessary trouble."
After speaking to Golden Crocodile Douluo, Jin Hao turned to Qian Renxue beside him.
"Xue'er, when you go back, do not tell anyone else either, all right?"
Jin Hao had stated it very directly, saying that he feared Bibi Dong would snatch it away if the matter were exposed.
Therefore, Qian Renxue replied,
"All right, Xiao Hao. I will not tell them when I return."
Golden Crocodile Douluo, hearing this, felt somewhat doubtful. In his view, if he and his old brothers from Worship Hall helped seize that thing, there should be no chance for Bibi Dong to intercept and steal it.
Because Golden Crocodile Douluo also believed that Qian Daoliu would not act that way.
But nothing was absolute. Jin E understood that Bibi Dong was, after all, the mother of Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu's most beloved granddaughter. Moreover, Bibi Dong was a capable woman with considerable strength, so Jin E became more vigilant.
There was no helping it. Qian Daoliu had already been threatened by Bibi Dong once, resulting in his grandson being sent here to infiltrate. If she found something else with which to threaten Qian Daoliu, then the thing related to a Godhead that his grandson found might be lost.
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Jin Hao and said,
"Xiao Hao, you are right. That woman Bibi Dong is too calculating. But that is not the most critical issue. No matter how calculating she is, if she cannot defeat me, I can kill her. But Bibi Dong is now the Pope of Spirit Hall, and as an Imperial Protector, I cannot do such a thing."
Then Golden Crocodile Douluo solemnly told Jin Hao,
"Xiao Hao, since you have decided to rely on yourself, Grandpa will support you."
"If anything happens, have Jin Yi and Jin Er go to Spirit City to find Grandpa."
"If it truly comes down to it, Grandpa will simply get rid of Bibi Dong, take you away, and find somewhere to hide. I will no longer be an Imperial Protector of Spirit Hall."
Of course, Golden Crocodile Douluo did not say that last sentence aloud. He only thought it inwardly. Although he knew the two children had a good relationship, Qian Renxue was still present, and Jin E believed it was better to avoid trouble.
In any case, Golden Crocodile Douluo had only one thought now. He had already taken one step back for Spirit Hall and allowed his grandson to leave Spirit City. If something like this happened again, did they think the Second Worship had no temper?
For the sake of his old brothers, he could yield on other matters. But he had already compromised when it came to his grandson. If they came again, then he would fight.
As he thought this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's aura became sharp and fierce. Seeing this, Jin Hao hurriedly said to Jin E,
"Grandpa, I understand. If anything happens, I will come find you."
Then Jin Hao saw that it was getting late. He could not remain in the Prince's Residence forever, or it would be bad if he were discovered. Besides, he had already explained everything clearly to Qian Renxue.
Thus, Jin Hao said,
"Grandpa, Xue'er, now that we have said everything and settled the plan, I will return to continue infiltrating. We will meet at tomorrow's banquet in the Imperial Palace."
Golden Crocodile Douluo withdrew his aura and replied,
"All right, then we will see each other tomorrow, Xiao Hao!"
Qian Renxue said to Jin Hao,
"Xiao Hao, do not forget what we agreed on. If I find out, just see how I deal with you!"
Jin Hao nodded, then immediately left.
After leaving the restaurant, Jin Hao first found a safe place and used the Spirit Bone Mask to transform himself into Xue Qinghe. Then he had Jin Yi lead him back into the Prince's Residence through its side.
After returning to the Prince's Residence, Jin Hao began considering what he needed to do over the coming period. Tomorrow, he would naturally first complete his political task and get engaged. After the engagement, it would be time to sample the must-visit destinations of Douluo Continent: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Furthermore, because he had read the original story, Jin Hao knew that curing Dugu Bo's poison would take several months.
So it would be best to stay at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for several months. Once everything was done and he had absorbed what was there, his Soul Power might even reach Level 35.
