Qian Daoliu: What Do You Mean Bo Saixi Has a Child?

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

Spirit City, Elder Hall.

Jiang Mo Douluo hurried in and bowed behind a man.

The man looked to be only in his thirties or forties. He was handsome, with a faint smile on his face.

He was tall but not particularly muscular, dressed in a simple gray robe. His long black hair hung loose behind his back, neatly combed.

Though his clothes were so plain, merely standing there gave people the urge to bow in worship.

The man was Qian Renxue's grandfather, Qian Daoliu: Master of Spirit Hall's Elder Hall, Grand Enshrined One, Master of Douluo Hall, and a Judgement Elder of Spirit Hall.

His Martial Soul was the Six-Winged Angel. A rank ninety-nine assault-type Peerless Douluo, his title was Angel, and he was known as Invincible Sky.

"Jiang Mo, why have you returned?"

"Reporting to the Grand Enshrined One, the young mistress asked me to deliver a letter to you."

Jiang Mo Douluo respectfully answered Qian Daoliu's question.

As he spoke, Jiang Mo Douluo handed the letter to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu took the envelope. His slender fingers lightly traced across the seal before pulling out the letter.

He unfolded it, his gaze sweeping over the elegant handwriting. His expression gradually shifted from calm to subtle.

Jiang Mo Douluo stood silently at the side, hardly daring to breathe.

Qian Daoliu unfolded the letter, his gaze sweeping over the elegant handwriting.

The letter began with standard greetings, reporting on the recent situation in Heaven Dou City and the movements of the major soul master academies.

Qian Daoliu skimmed through the contents at a glance. These were routine reports, one arriving every half month. He had long grown accustomed to them.

But when he reached the end of the letter, his gaze suddenly stopped.

Xue Qinghe had added a passage at the end.

"Your grandson encountered a six-year-old child in Heaven Dou City. The child claimed to be from Sea God Island and called Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi Mother. His strength is quite strange; your grandson was actually knocked to the ground by him. The child has currently been taken as Dugu Bo's disciple and is residing temporarily at Dugu Manor in Heaven Dou City. Your grandson believes this matter deserves attention and respectfully reports it."

Qian Daoliu stared at that passage three full times.

The first time, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

The second time, he thought he had misunderstood.

The third time, he finally confirmed that what was written in the letter meant exactly what he had seen.

Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi had a child.

Qian Daoliu's fingers tightened slightly, leaving a faint crease along the edge of the paper.

He and Tang Chen had once pursued her together. It had been the most passionate and fruitless love of his youth.

He had thought time had washed everything away, that her name was merely a faded memory in his long life.

But now, a letter from Xiao Xue told him that Bo Saixi had a child.

A six-year-old child named Jiang Lan, who called Bo Saixi Mother.

"Bo Saixi... a child..." Qian Daoliu muttered softly.

Back then, Bo Saixi had said that whichever of them first broke through to rank one hundred, she would be with him. He and Tang Chen had returned to Douluo Continent to seek a way to break through rank one hundred.

But now, she had a six-year-old child.

Whose child could this be?

Qian Daoliu could not help but think about it, pondering who the child's father might be.

After thinking it over and over, only one person came to mind.

Tang Chen!

Well, well, Tang Chen. That thick-browed, big-eyed fellow had actually secretly returned to Sea God Island, gotten together with Bo Saixi, and had a child with her.

It hurt. It hurt so much!

Qian Daoliu's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

The serene smile that had remained unchanged on his face for countless years had completely vanished, replaced by an exceedingly complicated expression.

If he had to describe it with one phrase, it was probably the feeling of having his home stolen.

"Tang Chen..."

Qian Daoliu squeezed out those two words through clenched teeth, his voice as low as muffled thunder from beneath the earth.

Well, well, Tang Chen. Back then, they had agreed to pursue Bo Saixi together, to compete fairly and rely on their own abilities.

You said you were going to pursue the path of becoming a god at rank one hundred, yet you turned around and secretly ran back to Sea God Island to marry her?

A six-year-old child.

Six years old!

What did that mean? It meant Tang Chen had secretly slipped back to Sea God Island at least seven years ago!

And what about him, Qian Daoliu?

He had still been faithfully guarding Elder Hall in Spirit City.

He had been waiting devotedly here, while Tang Chen had already had a child over there!

It hurt. It hurt so much!

Qian Daoliu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the stormy waves in his heart.

But an image rose uncontrollably in his mind: Tang Chen, that thick-browed, big-eyed fellow, standing on Sea God Island with a delicate little child in his arms. Bo Saixi leaned against him, the family of three happily watching the sunset over the sea...

Crack.

Qian Daoliu crushed a hole through the letter in his hand.

Jiang Mo Douluo stood behind him, his heart pounding.

He could not see Qian Daoliu's expression, but he could see the Grand Enshrined One's shoulders trembling slightly, while the letter had already been crumpled beyond recognition.

"G-Grand Enshrined One?" Jiang Mo Douluo asked cautiously. "Did the young mistress mention some urgent matter in the letter? Has something changed in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Qian Daoliu did not answer.

He slowly turned around. The calm smile had returned to his face, but it looked stiff no matter how one viewed it. The curve of his lips seemed forcibly bent upward, while the chill in his eyes could freeze the entire Elder Hall.

"Jiang Mo."

"Your subordinate is here."

"I want to ask you a question." Qian Daoliu slowly folded the punctured letter again, as though caressing some precious memory. "Suppose, and I mean suppose, someone made an agreement with you to compete fairly. But that person went behind your back, secretly returned, got together with... with her, and even had a child. How do you think such a person should be dealt with?"

Jiang Mo Douluo froze completely upon hearing that.

What kind of death question was this?

Though he did not know whom the Grand Enshrined One was talking about, he could hear an inexpressibly thick resentment in his tone.

In all his years at Spirit Hall, this was the first time Jiang Mo Douluo had ever felt such resentment.

Jiang Mo Douluo's mind raced, and he cautiously gave what he thought was the safest answer. "Grand Enshrined One, this subordinate believes... that person should be torn into ten thousand pieces and reduced to ashes!"

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "Too light."

Jiang Mo Douluo: "..."

Being torn into ten thousand pieces and reduced to ashes was still too light? Just what unforgivable thing had the person who offended the Grand Enshrined One done?

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath to compose himself. He set aside the matter of Tang Chen for the moment and reread the passage Xue'er had added at the end of the letter.

It mentioned that Bo Saixi's child was named Jiang Lan?

Wait, his surname was not Tang?

Could it be that the child Tang Chen had with Bo Saixi had been given a false name?

That had to be it. Tang Chen had secretly gotten together with Bo Saixi and had a child. Naturally, he could not let the child use his original surname.
