"Gu Shengge, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"As long as you become my disciple, throughout this vast Spirit City and Spirit Hall, you will stand above ten thousand people, beneath no one."
"Your status will be equal to my son's."
"No one in Spirit Hall, apart from my son and me, will hold a more honored position than you, not even the worshippers of the Worship Hall."
Qian Daoliu gazed at Gu Shengge before him, his face brimming with excitement.
Hearing those words and looking at the excited Qian Daoliu standing before him, Gu Shengge smiled, cupped his fist, and said with another smile, "Thank you for your favor, Senior. Since you think so highly of me, it would be more respectful to accept than to decline."
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"Ji'er, do you see? This disciple I've taken has the potential to become a god!"
"..."
At Qian Daoliu's words, both Gu Shengge and Qian Xunji fell silent.
Good grief, that old fellow Qian Daoliu really knew how to pick a nickname.
Ji'er, little dick~
Hahaha, if the people outside learned this nickname of Qian Xunji's, they'd laugh themselves to death.
"Father, I'm already grown up, and I'm the pope of Spirit Hall."
"Could you stop calling me that? People will get the wrong idea."
"Don't I have any dignity to preserve?"
Hearing his father's affectionate nickname for him, Qian Xunji truly had no way to deal with it.
First, Qian Daoliu was his father, so he dared not resist.
Second, even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't beat the old geezer.
Sigh~
When would these days ever end?
Originally, only father and son had known about that embarrassing pet name. Now look what had happened: because Gu Shengge had appeared, the old geezer had gotten excited and blurted it out.
Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Bibi Dong, and Gu Shengge all knew now.
What a tragedy~
I'm tired. Let it all burn!
Standing to one side, Yue Guan and Gui Mei hurriedly lowered their heads and ran through every sad event of their lives.
Otherwise, they feared they wouldn't be able to stop themselves from laughing aloud and would then be silenced for good.
As for Bibi Dong, though precocious, she had not yet reached the point where she knew everything.
Thus, she found nothing strange about Qian Daoliu's affectionate nickname for Qian Xunji.
Instead, she looked at Gu Shengge standing there, her eyes full of adoration.
Brother Gu was truly amazing, with innate full soul power at rank thirty.
She herself was only at rank thirty-something, yet Brother Gu's cultivation had reached rank thirty as soon as he awakened his martial souls. He really was amazing.
"Brother Gu, congratulations."
As Qian Daoliu pulled Qian Xunji over to show off his newly accepted disciple, Bibi Dong approached Gu Shengge with a bashful face and offered her congratulations.
"Are you feeling hot, little Dong'er? Why has your face turned red?"
Looking at the blushing Bibi Dong before him, Gu Shengge teased her with amusement in his eyes.
"Brother Gu~"
At Gu Shengge's teasing, Bibi Dong, whose face was already flushed with embarrassment, turned into a veritable steam girl and reached out to tap his chest lightly.
She looked every bit a young girl acting coy.
Looking at the adorably bashful Bibi Dong before him, Gu Shengge placed his hand on her little head again and gently rubbed it.
A young girl's blush surpassed every beautiful sight in the world.
Feeling Gu Shengge's caress, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes in enjoyment as she stood before him, the corners of her lips lifting while her heart already leaped and cheered.
Brother Gu treated her this way, so he must like her, right? He must like her.
Yes, that was right. He must like her.
At that thought, Bibi Dong's heart felt as though she had eaten candied fruit, exceptionally sweet.
Thinking of how Gu Shengge had joined Spirit Hall, become its only Divine Son in history, and would stay in Spirit City made Bibi Dong even happier.
The thought of being able to spend every day with Brother Gu from now on filled Bibi Dong with irrepressible happiness.
The interaction between Bibi Dong and Gu Shengge fell under the eyes of Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu, and both father and son looked at them with smiles in their eyes.
One was Spirit Hall's Divine Son, the other its Saintess.
One had triple martial souls and innate full soul power at rank thirty; the other had twin martial souls and innate full soul power.
Standing together, they were truly a golden boy and jade maiden, a match made in heaven.
Or, more accurately, a handsome man and jade maiden.
Before Gu Shengge appeared, Qian Xunji could not imagine who might someday be worthy of Bibi Dong, that favored daughter of heaven with twin martial souls, innate full soul power, and two supreme-grade martial souls.
But after Gu Shengge appeared, Qian Xunji discovered that no woman in this world was worthy of this peerless prodigy, the first in history to possess triple martial souls and innate full soul power at rank thirty.
Moreover, not one of Gu Shengge's three martial souls was a trash martial soul.
Even though none of his three martial souls had ever been recorded, the pressure emanating from each surpassed that of the Qian Family's inherited divine martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel.
One had to know that the Qian Family's inherited divine martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, was an existence beyond supreme-grade martial souls.
Moreover, only their Qian Family's inherited divine martial soul could awaken innate full soul power at rank twenty when innate soul power was tested after martial soul awakening.
Yet every one of Gu Shengge's martial souls was so powerful, and he even had innate full soul power at rank thirty. His future achievements were simply unimaginable.
With Gu Shengge's talent, looking across the entire Douluo Continent, perhaps the only woman worthy of him truly was Dong'er, that favored daughter of heaven with twin martial souls and innate full soul power.
Moreover, looking at Gu Shengge and Bibi Dong, the man had affection and the maiden had feelings.
No, no, it was the maiden who had affection and the man who had feelings. Little Dong'er was pursuing him.
Bibi Dong truly deserved to be his disciple. Her eye was even sharper than his, her teacher's.
She had already taken a fancy to him before he awakened his martial souls. That sharp eye took after him.
Fortunately, Gu Shengge did not know what Qian Xunji was thinking, or he certainly would have lost his composure.
Took after him? A sharp eye?
Bibi Dong, this innocent little flower, didn't have much of an eye at all.
Without his appearance, this innocent little flower would have been blind enough to fall for that useless scumbag Yu Xiaogang, then experienced darkness and turned dark herself.
"Little Dong'er, I have something concerning you and Shengge to discuss. I just don't know what you, little girl, and Shengge would think."
When Qian Xunji spoke, Bibi Dong, who had still been standing before Gu Shengge, turned to look at him with curiosity all over her face. "Please go ahead, Teacher."
"Seeing you and Shengge standing together, I think you make a fine match, a talented man and a beautiful woman."
"One is our Spirit Hall's Divine Son, and the other is our Spirit Hall's Saintess."
"One has triple martial souls and innate full soul power at rank thirty, and the other has twin martial souls and innate full soul power at rank ten."
"I'd like to take charge and arrange a grand wedding for you both after your coming-of-age ceremony. What do you and Shengge think?"
