Qian Renxue Takes a Master, the Upper Three Sects Are Driven to Tears
The council hall fell silent for a moment.
Xiao Qian was still questioning her whole life.
Hun Tiandi showed no intention of rushing her, merely watching her in silence.
After all, something like transmigration was difficult for a native like Qian Renxue to accept.
He would give her some time to digest it herself.
Just then, Hun Tiandi's long-dormant system suddenly stirred.
[Detected child of destiny: Qian Renxue] [Would you like to take her as a disciple?] [Yes/No]
That left Hun Tiandi completely at a loss.
How had Qian Renxue become a child of destiny?
By rights, shouldn't the child of destiny of the Douluo Continent have been that little bastard Tang San?
Soon enough, though, he figured out why.
Qian Renxue had transmigrated from Douluo to Battle Through the Heavens. Wasn't that another sign of a child of destiny?
At the same time, Qian Renxue finally came to terms with reality.
Her transmigration was an established fact, and she realized that she most likely could not return.
Proud as she was, she had to admit that she was now alone and dependent on someone else's hospitality.
Her once-exalted status meant nothing in this world.
She took a deep breath and cupped her hands in salute to Hun Tiandi, who sat in the seat of honor.
"This junior, Qian Renxue, thanks Senior for clearing up my confusion."
"I offended you earlier. I hope Senior will forgive me."
Hun Tiandi waved a hand casually, indicating that he did not mind.
Then he changed the subject, looking at Qian Renxue with the hint of a smile.
"Our meeting was fated."
"Since you have come to my Endless Soul Domain, why not become my disciple?"
Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback by those words.
In all his years as his master's disciple, he had never seen him take another.
Yet today, his master wanted to take this young girl of unknown origin as a disciple?
What puzzled him even more was that the power flowing through the girl's body was of a kind he had never seen before.
Just who was this little girl?
Qian Renxue had not expected this either.
She had only just arrived in this world, and an unparalleled expert already wanted to take her as his disciple?
This was even more fantastical than something out of a storybook, wasn't it?
But she also knew full well that she was alone and without support in a foreign world.
If she could become an expert's disciple and gain someone to rely on, that would be better than venturing out alone.
As for whether this senior had some other design on her, she could only wait until she had settled down in this world before deciding what to do.
Besides, she was already fish on the chopping block. If he really meant her harm, would he need to go about it so circuitously by taking her as a disciple?
What was more, he had called her by name at once and knew all about her coming from the Douluo Continent.
That astonishing ability alone was enough to show that this senior's background was far beyond anything she could imagine.
In that case, becoming his disciple did not seem to have any drawbacks for her.
With that thought, Qian Renxue hesitated no longer and performed a proper disciple's salute to Hun Tiandi.
"Your disciple Qian Renxue greets Master!"
Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, formally accepting her as his disciple.
At the same time, another system notification sounded.
[Successfully accepted Qian Renxue as a disciple. Reward obtained: Spiritual Energy Conversion Method]
Hun Tiandi set the reward aside for the time being and first told Qian Renxue to rise.
Then he gestured to Xiao Yan beside him and introduced him with a smile.
"This is Xiao Yan, your senior brother."
"You've only just arrived. Go with your senior brother and familiarize yourself with the rules of this world first. Once you've rested, we can discuss your cultivation."
Xiao Yan was open-minded, and he quickly accepted the fact that he had gained a junior sister.
He gave a hearty smile and cupped his hands to Qian Renxue.
"Junior Sister Qian."
Qian Renxue politely returned the salute.
"Senior Brother Xiao."
Then Qian Renxue left the council hall under Xiao Yan's guidance.
The Worship Hall, Douluo Continent.
As soon as Qian Daoliu returned, he heard the news from the sky screen that Hun Tiandi wanted to take Qian Renxue as his disciple.
He was stunned at first, but excitement soon swept through him.
Only a moment ago, he had been beside himself with worry over Xiao Xue being in danger.
And now he heard that the supreme being wanted to take Xiao Xue as his disciple?
Who could keep their composure?
It was as if the path had rounded a mountain bend, and dark willows had given way to bright flowers!
"Heaven blesses our Spirit Hall!"
Golden Crocodile, Azure Luan, and several other worshippers came forward to offer their congratulations.
"Congratulations, Big Brother!"
"Xiao Xue has found such a master over there. How could she fail to grow strong in the future?"
"That's right, Big Brother. This is an extraordinary opportunity!"
Qian Daoliu laughed heartily, the gloom from earlier swept clean away.
"Good, good, good!"
"If Xiao Xue returns after completing her training, our Spirit Hall will surely stand above the entire Douluo Continent!"
The Pope's Hall.
Bibi Dong had naturally seen it too.
She gazed at the sky screen, her eyes deep and inscrutable, and said nothing for a long time.
The daughter she hated most had become the disciple of a godlike expert in another world.
For a moment, she could not tell whether what she felt was jealousy or relief.
After a long silence, she murmured, "Quite a stroke of fortune for her."
Below her, Chrysanthemum and Ghost exchanged glances, neither daring to breathe loudly.
This news was a tremendous boon for Spirit Hall.
But to the other factions, especially the Upper Three Sects, it was no different from a bolt out of a clear sky.
Over the years, the Clear Sky Sect had withdrawn from the world because of Tang Hao, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had faced suppression from Spirit Hall at every turn.
They had only managed to hold on until now because each sect still held its own trump cards.
That was precisely why Spirit Hall had held back for fear of breaking the crockery while hunting the rat, not daring to make an open break.
But now, if Qian Renxue truly returned after completing her training under Hun Tiandi, the balance between them and Spirit Hall would be shattered completely!
When that time came, destruction would likely be all that awaited them!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's expression was grim.
"Qian Daoliu alone is already an insurmountable chasm looming over the great sects."
"If another Qian Renxue is added to the mix..."
He closed his eyes somewhat helplessly and said no more.
Behind him, Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, each seeing the gravity in the other's eyes.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Yu Yuanzhen slammed his palm on the table, making the teacups jump.
"What a Spirit Hall! What a Qian Renxue!"
"What fine scheming!"
If things continued like this, his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would likely be the next to be swallowed up.
Inside the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao soon grasped the same truth.
His face was livid, and after a long silence, he finally made up his mind.
Spirit Hall was powerful now, and the Clear Sky Sect alone was like a single tree trying to hold up a house.
And although Brother Hao's actions back then had forced the Clear Sky Sect into seclusion, he was still the most gifted person in the sect.
At this critical hour, with the sect's survival at stake, they could no longer afford to worry about so much.
Only by recalling Brother Hao and joining forces with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect could the three sects contend with Spirit Hall.
"Pass down my orders."
"As of this day, the Clear Sky Sect announces its return!"
"Then find every possible way to recall Brother Hao!"
"The Clear Sky Sect must join forces with the other two great sects if we are to have any chance of opposing Spirit Hall, with Qian Renxue among its ranks, in the future!"
