Was He Going to Tread the Same Path as in His Last Life Again?

Where is he now?

Dugu Yan quickly pressed for more information.

Qian Renchuan turned around helplessly and pointed to the Mountain Summit.

"He's still in the Pope's Palace at the highest point of the Mountain Summit."

"It's still a long way from here."

"There are still at least several hundred steps to climb."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan was immediately tempted and turned to pull Ye Lingling along.

But when Ye Lingling heard that she still had to climb several hundred steps, she was shocked.

They even wanted to go up to the Mountain Summit, which terrified the little girl. She shook her head repeatedly, clung tightly to Dugu Yan's arm, and tried to drag him backward.

"Waaaaah..."

"Lingling, I don't want to go up..."

"Waaaaah, my feet hurt so much, I really can't walk anymore."

"I want to go back to my mom. Can we go down the mountain together?"

Looking at Ye Lingling like this.

In the end, Dugu Yan had no choice but to compromise.

Moreover, looking at the towering Mountain Summit that seemed to reach into the clouds, she herself felt her heart pounding with fear.

"Then... then I won't go."

Dejected, Dugu Yan lowered her head and put the Jade Pendant back in her pocket, looking longingly at Qian Renchuan.

"We've decided to continue."

"Waaah, little brother, do you have anything to eat?"

We're so hungry, our stomachs are completely empty.

"Waaaaaah."

As they talked, the two little girls hugged each other and started crying loudly again.

Looking at them like this.

Qian Renchuan also quite helpless.

With a thought, he took out two packets of exquisite pastries and a few pieces of dried meat from his Storage Soul Tool and stuffed them into the hands of the two little girls.

"Take it and eat it."

Smelling the aroma, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling forgot all about crying and quickly tore open the packaging, wolfing down the food.

After they had almost finished eating...

Qian Renchuan then turned to look at Xie Yue and Hu Liena beside him.

"You two are responsible for escorting them down the mountain."

"But remember what you should say and what you shouldn't say; keep those in mind."

Xie Yue and Hu Liena, who have been following Qian Renchuan around every day, have long been quite clever.

Upon hearing this, how could one not understand the Eldest Young Master's meaning?

It's obvious they don't want to reveal their identity.

So he nodded repeatedly.

"Clear!"

"Big... brother, we'll make sure they get down there safely!"

Then, one on each side, they led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling down the mountain path.

I watched the four little ones disappear around the corner in the Woods.

Qian Renchuan then walked back to the tree and leisurely lay down in the hammock.

With a thought, the System Panel was opened directly:

[Host: Qian Renchuan]

[Martial Soul: Skin, Seraphim]

[Level: 34 (Soul Elder)]

[Spirit: 431 (Standard 280 for normal level 35)]

[Physical Body: 1466 (Standard 405 for Level 35)]

[Soul Power 3623/7350 (Standard Soul Power for Level 35: 7350)]

[Bond Object (1): Qian Renxue; Current Status: Soul Power Cultivation]

[Bond Object (2): Huo Yuhao; Current Status: Soul Power Cultivation]

[Bond Object (3): Xie Yue; Current Status: None]

[Bond Object (4): Hu Liena; Current Status: None]

[Bond Object (5): Dugu Yan; Current Status: None]

[Bond Object (6): Ye Lingling; Current Status: None]

Looking at the last two names that had appeared on the panel, Qian Renchuan suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

It seems that this is the coronation ceremony for the Saint Son Saintess held by the Spirit Hall.

The Dugu Family and Ye Family of the Heaven Dou Empire should also have sent representatives to attend the ceremony.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan were able to enter Spirit Mountain using the Jade Pendant they had given her.

I just don't know what Dugu Yan wants with me.

What surprised and excited Qian Renchuan even more was the system's reaction.

He had only guessed before, and he never expected that the system could actually form a bond with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

Then, recalling the system's earlier prompt to bind Xie Yue and Hu Liena's reactions.

Qian Renchuan had roughly guessed a hidden rule.

Perhaps, all the young powerhouses with names and surnames in the original work, possessing extremely high luck and talent, are among the system's Bond Object!

"If that's really the case..."

Thinking of this, Qian Renchuan's mood immediately improved.

So, that's my next big plan.

That way, it can be implemented perfectly.

As long as we connect these geniuses one by one and urge them to cultivate like crazy every day.

Then I won't have to worry about Soul Power Accumulation anymore when I lie in bed and sleep every day.

Just as Qian Renchuan was happily envisioning the future...

Suddenly, a steady series of footsteps came from not far behind.

I heard a sound.

Qian Renchuan was very surprised and suspicious.

He immediately closed the System Panel and turned to look.

A Hall Guard Knights clad in heavy silver armor was seen hurrying towards his location.

"Tread."

The Hall Guard Knights finally stopped a meter away from the Qian Renchuan.

He raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and slammed it heavily onto his breastplate, producing a dull thud.

Only then did he bow his head respectfully and report.

"Eldest Young Master, His Holiness the Pope requests your presence."

"My dad is looking for me?"

Qian Renchuan was immediately puzzled and sat up.

"Hasn't the coronation ceremony officially started yet? Is there something urgent you need me for?"

The Hall Guard Knights maintained their bowed posture and unchanged tone.

"I am unaware; His Holiness the Pope only instructed me to summon the Eldest Young Master to the Pope's Palace immediately."

"Okay, okay."

"Ugh, this is such a hassle."

Immediately, Qian Renchuan jumped directly off the hammock.

"Let's go, lead the way."

At the same time.

Spirit Academy.

Inside the girls' dormitory.

Qian Renxue was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her eyes closed, with a faint golden Soul Power surging around her.

It is clear that he is in the midst of deep cultivation.

Knock, knock, knock.

But just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes, and after gathering the Soul Power emanating from her body, she whispered,

"Come in."

The door opened.

A female Hall Guard Knights entered the room, bowing respectfully.

"Miss Xue, His Holiness the Pope requests your immediate presence at the Pope's Palace."

Qian Renxue was also surprised upon hearing this, and a look of doubt appeared on her delicate face as she softly asked,

Is it because of the coronation ceremony?

This time, however, the female Hall Guard Knights hesitated slightly before cautiously answering.

"Yes..."

"But the former Saintess Hall also here."

Um?

Bibi Dong was also in the Pope's Palace?

Qian Renxue was immediately taken aback.

But then, his face instantly darkened.

"Wasn't she imprisoned in the palace by Father's orders? How did she escape?"

The female Hall Guard Knights immediately lowered her head even further, her voice tense.

"That's beyond my knowledge. His Holiness the Pope simply instructed me to invite you over."

Qian Renxue made no move.

He simply fell silent, his face darkening, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

After a long while, he took a deep breath, suppressing the waves of irritation in his heart, and said...

"Okay, I understand."

Let's go.

Qian Renxue rolled out of bed, put on her shoes, and prepared to leave with the Hall Guard Knights.

It was just the moment I stepped out of the dormitory.

Seemingly having figured something out, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

What is Dad doing?

We finally managed to lock that woman up, and now they've released her again!

Is this a repeat of the mistakes of the previous life???
