"Although neither my father nor I Awakening the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, my grandfather was very kind to us and once told me his stories. In them, he talked about his best friend, known as ' Invincible in the Sky,' the strongest warrior of the Spirit Hall, and a level 99 Titled Douluo Qian Daoliu."
Jun Yi slowly revealed Qian Daoliu's identity, wanting to see his reaction.
When Qian Daoliu heard Jun Yi's words, his eyes clearly changed. For the past few decades, he had been participating in the Angel Eighth Trial and had basically never shown his face on the continent. Moreover, apart from the Soul Master of the Spirit Hall, he had only talked about the title of " Great Enshrined " with Tang Chen and Bo Saixi; no one else knew about it. Yet this seemingly young fellow in front of him knew his name and was even aware of his identity.
"Are you really Tang Hao's grandson?"
Qian Daoliu stared coldly at the little boy in front of him, but his heart was filled with a surging storm, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"My grandfather also talked to me about a Soul Master Bo Saixi. When he mentioned her, his face was full of smiles. He also said that he had a bet with you. Although I don't know the specifics, my grandfather said that he was sure he would win."
Hearing Jun Yi finish speaking, Qian Daoliu was truly convinced that Jun Yi was Tang Chen's grandson. His eyes gradually warmed from their icy expression, and a faint smile even appeared on his lips, "I really didn't expect Tang Chen's grandson to have such strength. Your talent is even better than his."
He paused suddenly, his gaze fixed intently on Jun Yi: "Tell me, where is he now? I haven't heard from him in so long."
Jun Yi paused for a moment, then feigned a nostalgic expression and said, "Grandpa has passed away. He said he was just one step away from winning the bet."
"What? Only one last step left?"
Upon hearing this, a look of disappointment crossed Qian Daoliu's face, and he murmured, "He has actually already surpassed me."
Based on Jun Yi's words, Qian Daoliu guessed that Tang Chen had completed the Eighth Trial and was only one step away from becoming a god, while he himself would need at least more than ten years to complete the Eighth Trial, while Tang Chen had already done so ahead of time.
"When will he be back?" Qian Daoliu asked excitedly.
"I don't know about that!" Jun Yi scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered. "Grandpa said that his final move was just one step off, and perhaps he'll be able to return when I become Soul Douluo."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu frowned. After a long while, he took a deep breath and said, "Since that's the case, then I've tried my best. Child, although I don't know why your body has been absorbing Divine Power, since you are Tang Chen's grandson, I won't make things difficult for you. How about this, you come back to the Spirit Hall with me, apologize to the Pope, and we'll call it even. How about that?"
Qian Daoliu was no longer willing to pursue Jun Yi's mistakes, after all, he was his best friend's grandson. Moreover, he had more important things to do: he needed to complete the Angel Eighth Trial as soon as possible and try to catch up with Tang Chen's progress.
"Of course, I was originally planning to go out for a while. Since you're willing, as a junior, I'd naturally be happy to accompany you."
Jun Yi smiled and spoke to Qian Daoliu, but inwardly he was secretly delighted. He really hadn't expected Qian Daoliu to directly invite him into the Spirit Hall. Couldn't he take this opportunity to let the system have its fill? He would never give up this chance.
A perfectly good Qian Daoliu was completely fooled by Jun Yi.
"Let's set off now. Are you still able to move?" Qian Daoliu Jun Yi asked, coming to Jun Yi's side after he agreed.
"Yes, although he suffered some injuries, he can still move." Jun Yi nodded slightly.
"Alright, follow me." With that, Qian Daoliu transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot, while Jun Yi hurriedly urged his speed to catch up.
Qian Daoliu extremely fast, and in just a few breaths, the two arrived at the Spirit Hall. Then, under Qian Daoliu's guidance, Jun Yi was led to the Papal Palace.
" Ji'er, this child is the grandson of an old friend. How about we wipe the slate clean of your past grievances?"
Qian Daoliu spoke slowly to Qian Xunji.
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Xunji's pupils constricted sharply. The grandson of an old friend? Did his father still have any old friends in this world?
Seeing Qian Xunji's puzzled look, Qian Daoliu explained calmly, "This child is Tang Chen's grandson. He came out to train, but for some reason, he clashed with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. In essence, he has no enmity with our Spirit Hall. I didn't know he was Tang Chen's grandson before, and I seriously injured him. For now, let's settle him in the Spirit Hall so he can recover properly."
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Xunji was first surprised, then a complex expression appeared on his face. He knew very well that what his father had just said was true.
"I understand, Father. I'll have the servants make the arrangements."
"This child has good talent, and he is not a member of the Clear Sky Sect. Do you understand what I mean?" Qian Daoliu nodded and gave another reminder.
"Yes, I understand!"
Qian Xunji's voice remained calm, but Jun Yi could clearly detect a hint of gritted teeth.
Qian Daoliu patted him on the shoulder, then smiled at Jun Yi and said, "Child, you should rest first. I'll be going now."
"Goodbye, Grandpa!" Jun Yi bowed respectfully to Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu nodded, tapped his toes, and instantly disappeared at the gate.
"Are you really Tang Chen's grandson? Why can't I sense the aura of the Clear Sky Hammer from you?"
After Qian Daoliu left, Qian Xunji stared intently at Jun Yi and said in a deep voice.
Jun Yi smiled faintly, shrugged, and replied, "What do you think?"
"Father said you don't belong to the Clear Sky Sect, and you're Tang Chen's grandson. Your father is Tang Chen's illegitimate son, right?" Qian Xunji said, his eyes narrowed, his tone revealing a hint of excitement and fanaticism.
"You guessed correctly, I, Tang San, am the child of an illegitimate child." Jun Yi smiled slightly and praised Qian Xunji.
After receiving Jun Yi's affirmation, Qian Xunji finally understood what his father meant by those words. He recognized Jun Yi's talent and wanted him to join the Spirit Hall.
This is tantamount to training talents for the Clear Sky Sect! Therefore, Qian Xunji couldn't help but gasp. He never expected that his father would be so crazy.
"Is your will strong enough?" Qian Xunji a deep breath and stared intently at Jun Yi.
