Bibi Dong: What Is That Damn Worship Hall Hiding?
No, that timing doesn't add up, does it?
A horrifying thought flashed through Qian Daoliu's mind, but when he considered the child's age, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Faced with the astonished and curious gazes of Guang Ling, Qian Daoliu shook his head slightly and told them in a very soft voice.
"If he were truly a descendant of my Qian Family families, I would be happy. However, the age doesn't match."
Since he is not of the Qian Family bloodline, yet he was able to awaken the Angel Holy Sword Martial Soul, and possessed an astonishing God-Given Soul Power beyond his Innate Full Soul Power, there can only be one explanation.
This is a miracle! It is a gift from the Angel God, who guided him to join the Angel God Spirit Hall and revitalize Spirit City!
Immediately, Qian Daoliu's expression softened, and he spoke gently:
"Child, what's your name?"
My name is Shen Zhaoran.
Shen Zhaoran had an excellent first impression of the kind old man with a gentle face who seemed to be shrouded in holiness.
"Alright, good child, come, let's test your Soul Power."
Qian Daoliu took out a crystal ball that Qian Renxue had once used and placed it in front of the girl, his eyes gleaming with hope.
A small, fair hand reached out and landed on the crystal ball. In an instant, golden light began to shine throughout the hall.
An intensely rich golden light completely filled the crystal ball, which symbolized the abundance of Soul Power.
God-Given Soul Power, innate level 20!
"Very well, child, I'm willing to take you as my disciple. Would you like to learn swordsmanship from me?"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Qian Daoliu stretched out his palm, his face filled with sincerity.
If she could become his disciple, she might be able to help Xue'er go further on the path to Godhood!
Due to the difference in their Soul Power levels, she cannot perform Martial Soul Fusion Skill with him, but for Qian Renxue, she is the best helper!
"OK."
Nodding, Shen Zhaoran clearly did not intend to refuse.
"Okay, okay!"
Qian Daoliu exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row, clearly extremely excited.
Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile and Guang Ling, standing to the side, also showed expressions of envy. On one hand, they envied Qian Daoliu for having such a talented disciple, and on the other hand, they were genuinely happy for the future of the Spirit Hall.
Over the years, there have always been some discrepancies between the Papal Hall and their Worship Hall. Bibi Dong her Twin Martial Souls, has always been a source of pressure for many of the elders in the Worship Hall.
If they were worried before that Qian Renxue alone would be no Bibi Dong, now that they have such an outstanding disciple of the Angel Holy Sword, she will still stand on their side in the future.
"With Xue'er and Zhao'er, my Spirit Hall can prosper for a thousand years!"
Although he was incredibly excited, seeing the Red-robed Bishop beside him and knowing that the little girl had traveled a long way to get here, Qian Daoliu's excitement slowly subsided. He said softly:
"Zhao'er, go and rest with a few guards. There are still some things I need to arrange for you."
"Yes, Master."
Nodding obediently, Shen Zhaoran slowly left with the guards of the Worship Hall.
As his emotions gradually calmed down, Qian Daoliu turned to look at Scott, who had been waiting for a long time, and said with appreciation:
"You did a great job this time, bringing such an Angel God- blessed child back to the Worship Hall in a timely manner."
After giving Red-robed Bishop Scott a once-over, Qian Daoliu added.
"Remember to keep all information about Zhao'er a secret. Don't let any of your subordinates leak her information. Do your job well, and you'll be a candidate for the next Platinum Bishop."
Platinum Bishop!
Upon hearing the name, Scott could not hide his elation.
If the Red-robed Bishop are the highest-ranking officials in each province who oversee all matters of the Spirit Hall, then the Platinum Bishop are the supreme leaders appointed by the Spirit Hall in the two great empires, truly the pinnacle of bishop authority.
The fact that there are only four Platinum Bishop Platinum Bishop currently serving in the entire Spirit Hall is enough to demonstrate their importance.
Thinking of this, Scott immediately bowed deeply in gratitude and withdrew. But as he left, Sisi solemnity appeared on Qian Daoliu's face, and he said to the other two elders:
"I have already reviewed the list of all awakened individuals this year, and there is no such child among them. Wasn't his Martial Soul awakened within our Spirit Hall?"
Every year, the Spirit Hall compiles a list of geniuses and makes special efforts to recruit and win them over.
However, Qian Daoliu clearly remembered that Shen Zhaoran's name was not among the dozens of people on the list.
Upon Qian Daoliu's words, both Golden Crocodile and Guang Ling's expressions changed, realizing what he was worried about.
"Such outstanding talent could not possibly have awakened elsewhere. The anomaly caused by the God-given Soul Token will inevitably lead all forces to conclude that he possesses extraordinary talent, and the sacred aura of the Angel Holy Sword is far beyond the ordinary... Anyone who isn't blind can see his excellence."
Guang Ling spoke calmly, also realizing the strangeness.
Such talent should be so extraordinary that no force should let it go. Since she didn't awaken her spirit within the Spirit Hall, where did her Martial Soul originate?
"Don't overthink it. Maybe it's just a few scattered awakenings in later batches?"
Seeing the serious expressions on the other two's faces, Golden Crocodile, the worshipper, sat down casually, feeling that there was no need to be so tense.
The Spirit Hall is a large and powerful organization with a vast number of awakened commoner Soul Master. Although a list of awakened spirit masters is submitted every few months, the awakening of Martial Soul cannot be completed in a single day.
If it's a truly remote area, it's quite possible that the information wasn't collected immediately, and was only discovered and reported later.
With its legs outstretched, the Golden Crocodile stretched out its body and shrugged, saying:
"You can't possibly think he's some kind of trap sent by some other force, can you? Who would give such a talented prodigy to the Spirit Hall instead of keeping him for themselves?"
Why would the enemy send a top-tier genius with innate level 20 and God-Given Soul Power to attack their territory?
"Too."
Nodding, Qian Daoliu's expression softened slightly.
Regardless of the circumstances, given his familiarity with Angel Martial Soul, Zhao'er's Martial Soul must be the Angel Holy Sword. Whether it's God-Given Soul Power or Martial Soul, there's no way it could be fake.
Even if his origins are somewhat suspicious, as long as his talent is genuine, he is extremely valuable to the Spirit Hall.
However, with a degree of caution, Qian Daoliu still waved his hand, summoning his trusted guards.
"Please investigate this child's entire background and history, including his family situation and origins."
"Yes, Great Enshrined."
The guard obeyed and left. Qian Daoliu's actions caused Guang Ling, who was standing to the side, to shake his head slightly.
"Boss, why are you so nervous?"
"I hope I'm just overthinking it all."
Qian Daoliu shook his head with a wry smile.
Having always served by the side of the Angel God, only he knew how long it had been since the Angel God had issued a decree.
Why, of all times, at this very moment, did such a blessing descend without a word?
On the other side, the Papal Hall.
A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a Pope robe, with long, elegant legs and an air of unparalleled nobility, was now coldly questioning the people below the stage:
"You mean Red-robed Bishop Scott of the Fasinuo Province somehow went to the Worship Hall, brought out a few young girls, and then happily went home alone?"
"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope."
What would a young girl be doing delivering Worship Hall?
Instead of greeting the Pope, the Red-robed Bishop is getting close to the Worship Hall. Humph.
A flicker of distortion crossed Bibi Dong bit her lip. Anger and hatred welled up in her beautiful eyes.
"No... no, that old Qian Daoliu... there's no way he'd be this cautious over something so trivial..."
A cold glint flashed in her majestic and sharp phoenix eyes. The woman on the Pope throne crossed her long, jade-like legs, her pretty face frosty, and coldly rebuked her confidants below:
"Go! Go investigate! Go to the Fasino Province and dig up all the information about that girl! I need to find out everything about her background! Let's see who's behind this little brat!"
"Yes!"
