Marrying in as Qian Renxue's fiancé, with a ninety-thousand-year Soul Bone as a marriage gift!

Ye Han had no desire to become this madwoman's disciple.

But under the circumstances, he had no say in the matter.

Bibi Dong was the kind of lunatic who would destroy whatever she could not have.

If he dared refuse her, he would vanish from the face of the earth the very next day.

Unless Qian Daoliu was willing to step forward and forcibly take him as his disciple.

But judging by what a spineless coward Qian Daoliu was being, that was probably impossible.

He had not even intervened when Bibi Dong killed his son. Could Ye Han count on him?

"Sigh."

Bitterness filled Ye Han's heart, but he could only step forward and bow respectfully.

"Your disciple, Ye Han, greets you, Teacher!"

A triumphant look spread across Bibi Dong's face as she cast Qian Daoliu a provocative glance.

Qian Daoliu and the enshrined elders secretly ground their teeth, furious but not daring to speak.

It was their own fault for not having Twin Martial Souls. None of them was confident that he could teach Ye Han well!

"My good disciple, come with your teacher."

Bibi Dong withdrew her provocative gaze and playfully extended her delicate hand toward Ye Han.

Ye Han glanced at Ling Yuan, who had helped him, and reluctantly prepared to take it.

And it was precisely this gesture that gave Qian Daoliu an idea for a countermove. He suddenly spoke.

"Wait!"

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly as she asked in displeasure:

"Is there something else, Great Enshrined?!"

Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment, then said slowly:

"You are indeed the most suitable person to teach Ye Han, but as I said earlier..."

"As the Supreme Pontiff, you are far too busy with your duties. Some things are bound to slip through the cracks, aren't they?"

"Xiao Han's talent is utterly unprecedented in the history of the entire continent."

"Surely you cannot have him study at the academy on ordinary days, as you do with that Hu Liena?"

"In my opinion, we could select one of the elders or enshrined elders to serve as his personal assistant teacher."

"And this assistant teacher could also serve as his personal guard, ensuring his safety at all times."

"After all, once his identity as Holy Son is announced, it will shake the continent and draw covert attacks from hostile forces. He must have protection at his side!"

At these words, the enshrined elders all nodded in agreement. His reasoning was sound.

Bastard!

Bibi Dong's expression instantly darkened, fire burning in her eyes.

This old bastard! Seeing that he couldn't snatch the boy away, he wanted to use this method to keep me in check?

If this brat was assigned a personal teacher, it would be difficult for me to control him completely!

However, quite a few elders here were loyal to her. She refused to believe Ye Han would happen to choose one of Qian Daoliu's people.

After weighing her options, Bibi Dong decided to take a gamble.

"The Great Enshrined does have a point, but this little fellow must choose his personal assistant teacher himself!"

Qian Daoliu nodded confidently and turned to the enshrined elders and elders.

"Everyone, introduce yourselves to this little fellow."

As he spoke, he cast Ling Yuan a meaningful glance.

Ling Yuan understood immediately. She stepped forward first, released her Martial Soul, and said with a warm smile:

"I'll go first. I am Spirit Hall's fifth elder, Ling Yuan."

"I am a rank ninety-two Titled Douluo. My Martial Soul is Lie Yan Ling Yuan, and my title is Ling Yuan."

"Xiao Han, if you choose your big sister here, I'll teach you well and shower you with affection!"

At the sight, Ye Han immediately understood that Qian Daoliu had arranged this.

The moment she finished her introduction, he ran over and took her hand.

"Then I want Sister Ling Yuan to be my personal teacher! Your disciple, Ye Han, greets you, Teacher Ling Yuan!"

Having succeeded, Qian Daoliu's lips curled into a smile, and he secretly congratulated himself.

Bibi Dong's face instantly turned livid.

So Qian Daoliu had anticipated this all along. She had fallen into his trap!

Spirit Hall's nine elders were divided into three factions.

The neutral faction, the pro-Qian Daoliu faction, and the diehard loyalist faction.

Ling Yuan belonged to the faction close to the Great Enshrined.

With Ling Yuan becoming this brat's assistant teacher, she would effectively be keeping Bibi Dong in check!

"Hahaha! In that case, Ling Yuan will serve as Xiao Han's personal teacher and guard." Qian Daoliu laughed triumphantly, then changed the subject.

"Oh, right. I have another decision to announce."

"Xiao Han will marry into our Spirit Hall and become Qian Renxue's fiancé!"

The instant Qian Daoliu said this, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone was so shocked by this sudden proposal that they could not speak.

Even Ye Han froze. To tie him down, Qian Daoliu was giving away his granddaughter?!

"What?!"

Bibi Dong cried out in shock and demanded:

"Great Enshrined, do you realize what you are saying?!"

Qian Daoliu's expression was resolute, his tone allowing no room for doubt.

"Of course I do. To demonstrate our Spirit Hall's sincerity..."

"I am willing to present this little fellow with a ninety-thousand-year light-attribute Head Soul Bone as a gift for marrying into our family!"

With that, he took a wooden box from his Soul Tool.

When he opened it, a Head Soul Bone shimmering with golden light lay inside.

The sight caused another uproar in the hall.

A ninety-thousand-year Soul Bone was a treasure even Titled Douluos dreamed of obtaining.

Not to mention that this was the rarest kind, a Head Soul Bone. It could only be encountered by chance, never sought!

That he had brought it out so generously showed just how seriously he took this matter and how much importance he placed on it.

The next moment, Qian Daoliu approached and placed the wooden box containing the Soul Bone into Ye Han's hands, saying with a smile:

"Xiao Han, this Head Soul Bone came from a ninety-thousand-year Light Subdragon. It is yours."

"Are you willing to marry into our Spirit Hall and become my granddaughter's fiancé?"

At the same time, he seemed to remember something and added somewhat awkwardly:

"Though... she should be about ten years older than you. You wouldn't mind, would you?"

At this, Ye Han's eyes immediately lit up.

He could obtain a Soul Bone and become Qian Renxue's live-in husband. Only a fool would refuse.

Besides, with this connection to Qian Daoliu, taking revenge on his enemies later would yield twice the results with half the effort.

"Great Enshrined, what's ten years? Rest assured, you can leave the rest of your granddaughter's life to me!"

Ye Han accepted the Soul Bone and nodded repeatedly, answering with solemn conviction.

"Hahaha! Then it's settled! When the opportunity arises, I'll take you to meet my granddaughter!"

Seeing Ye Han agree, Qian Daoliu felt thoroughly reassured and shot Bibi Dong a smug glance.

Bibi Dong glared at Qian Daoliu, but she could find no grounds to object. She could only say coldly and unwillingly:

"Hmph! Since the Great Enshrined has decided, I will say no more!"

"Elder Ling Yuan, sorry for the trouble of taking good care of him. Tomorrow, I will make time to personally take him to hunt for Soul Rings!"

"Once we return, I will personally hold the Holy Son's investiture ceremony. None of you need trouble yourselves!"

With that, Bibi Dong turned and left in anger, leaving behind the cold sight of her retreating figure.

After leaving the Awakening Hall, she turned to Ghost Douluo, who had followed her out, and commanded sternly:

"Ghost Elder, you have three days. Investigate that brat's background thoroughly!"

Then she turned to Chrysanthemum Douluo, who had also followed her out, and ordered:

"Elder Ju, I remember you telling me you obtained a mysterious evolvable Soul Bone on a hunt? Deliver it to me at the Supreme Pontiff's Hall later!"

Gui Mei nodded and left. Yue Guan hesitated slightly, but could only nod respectfully, accept the order, and leave as well.

Once both men had left, Bibi Dong looked back at the Awakening Hall and muttered furiously:

"Qian Daoliu, the days ahead are long. We can take our time playing this game!"

"There has never been anything I wanted that I couldn't obtain!"

"If I truly cannot have it, then... I will destroy it! Hahahaha!"

By the end, Bibi Dong's stunning face had suddenly turned hideous and crazed, striking fear into the heart.

Having seen off the walking plague that was Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu patted Ye Han's head and said to Ling Yuan:

"Ling Yuan, arrange somewhere for Xiao Han to stay and take him to rest."

"I need to discuss Xiao Xue and Xiao Han's marriage properly with the enshrined elders."
