Chapter 71 Ning Fengzhi's Visit
"grandfather"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing the old man in the room, unable to contain her excitement.
"Why did you come all of a sudden?"
Thinking about it now, it might seem a bit unfilial, but Qian Renxue genuinely felt that her grandfather wanted to die of old age in the Angel Temple.
Banishing the thought of filial impiety from her mind, Qian Renxue excitedly approached Qian Daoliu.
"Here, Xue'er, this is the soul bone of that beast."
Qian Daoliu took out a crimson right arm bone from his storage soul tool, which had bright patterns on it that looked like magma.
"That beast?"
Qian Renxue was a little confused, but when she sensed the enormous energy contained in the soul bone, she immediately realized that it was the soul bone of the 100,000-year-old Crimson Flame Earth Dragon from before.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but act coquettishly towards Qian Daoliu. No matter what she had to pretend to be in front of outsiders, she would always be the little girl she could rely on in front of her grandfather.
After all, Qian Renxue is only fourteen or fifteen years old, still a budding young girl. Spending all her time alone in the deep palace, scheming and plotting, it's a testament to her good mental resilience that she hasn't become a monster.
However, to make a somewhat twisted joke, perhaps because she lost her father at a young age and was almost killed by her own mother multiple times, Qian Renxue's mentality is quite strong.
"I just didn't expect you to go out so suddenly, Grandpa."
Qian Renxue accepted the soul bone. She still had a whole set of angel soul bones waiting for her to inherit, so she didn't have much need for soul bones.
She didn't know how to use this 100,000-year-old soul bone for the time being. After all, it could truly be considered a top-tier treasure in the world of soul masters. Compared to a 100,000-year-old soul ring that could only be used by one person, this soul bone could be passed down as a family heirloom.
"I'm here to help Xiaoxue get revenge, and I also wanted to see you. It's been a long time since we, grandfather and granddaughter, have seen each other."
Qian Daoliu's voice immediately turned somewhat resentful. If he didn't miss his granddaughter, he could have sent his second brother out and continued to stay in the Angel Temple to pray or read books.
Qian Renxue sensed the emotion in her grandfather's voice and couldn't help but smile awkwardly. As Xue Qinghe grew older, Xue Ye entrusted him with more and more responsibilities. She had been engrossed in handling official business and had indeed neglected her grandfather, only returning home for the New Year.
"Alright, Xiaoxue, you can use this soul bone to win people's hearts. Besides this, I also had some other good gains this time."
"I'm talking," Qian Daoliu said, stroking his beard.
Other gains? Qian Renxue looked at her grandfather with great curiosity.
Feeling the probing gaze from Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu was in a good mood and recounted what had happened.
"What? That kid lied to me?"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but cry out in surprise, and then she saw her grandfather's ambiguous smile, which made her feel even more ashamed.
"It's perfectly normal for me to lie to you. It's a crucial secret, and I certainly wouldn't tell the enemy so easily."
Qian Daoliu tapped his granddaughter and said irritably, "Why are you so easily startled? But being energetic is a good thing," Qian Daoliu thought.
"Moreover, he's already at the Soul Master level. I can roughly sense that he's almost at the Soul King level. This is probably because I lost most of my energy after severely injuring that beast."
"But you, Xue'er, what level is your soul power right now?"
Qian Daoliu naturally knew that the other party's success could not be replicated. Immortal-grade items were not easy to find, and the improvement brought by his own later stages of the Divine Examination far exceeded that of ordinary people. His granddaughter only needed to proceed steadily and surely.
However, his agreement to Qian Renxue's plan to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire was only to ensure that she would accept the inheritance without any regrets. But now, Qian Renxue's soul power level has fallen quite a bit behind. If he doesn't remind her now, it will really be too late.
Qian Renxue's face was flushed. Compared to handling official business, she had indeed spent much less time cultivating her soul power. In order to successfully inherit the throne, she spent her days scheming, forming cliques, and impersonating Xue Qinghe.
Previously, Qian Renxue thought she should work harder because she met Xie Mo, but she overestimated her energy. After trying both approaches, she couldn't keep it up for more than a month and had to make some choices.
"I understand, Grandpa. I will spend more time cultivating in the future."
Qian Renxue made up her mind to delegate half of her official duties to her stand-in and use that time to cultivate.
"Also, Dugu Bo and that kid have already joined the Spirit Hall, at least in name only. As for how to subdue them, that's up to you, Xue'er."
"Grandpa doesn't want to interfere with your plans. Whether you reveal them or not is up to you, but remember to increase your soul power."
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but pat his granddaughter's head. He did know a way to quickly pass part of the divine test, but such an angelic god would have serious consequences, and he naturally didn't want his granddaughter to suffer like that.
"Okay, Grandpa~"
Qian Renxue held Qian Daoliu's hand and shook it from side to side, her face showing a coquettish expression, which made Qian Daoliu secretly happy. His granddaughter had grown up and hadn't been coquettish with him for a long time. That kid could be considered his lucky star.
At this moment, however, Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with indignation. She would definitely get along well with that kid.
With nothing else to do, Qian Daoliu began passing on his experience in managing power to his granddaughter. He had once been considered a wise and capable pope, but he never imagined his son…
Qian Daoliu was enjoying a heartwarming moment with his granddaughter, while Xie Mo, having just escaped one danger's den, was now entering another.
"This junior greets Sect Master Ning."
Xie Mo tried his best to maintain a polite demeanor. Dugu Bo went to Sunset Forest to pick immortal herbs. This time he went alone, with the purpose of helping Ye Lingling obtain immortal herbs.
Having made up his mind, Xie Mo no longer hesitated. It was just a magical herb; Dugu Bo gave it to him for free without batting an eye, so what did it matter if he gave it to his wife?
However, Dugu Bo went to Sunset Forest and Dugu Yan went to school, leaving him alone at home.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly showed up, followed by the sharp-eyed Sword Douluo. Xie Mo couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken; dealing with the old fox was quite tiring.
"Little Mo, it seems I'm the one who's bothering you."
Seeing that it was Xie Mo who came forward, Ning Fengzhi understood that there was no one at home. However, when the two of them visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School last time, he found that this little guy was quite opinionated, and it seemed that Dugu Bo still needed to consult the other party's opinion on many things.
This was the first time Ning Fengzhi had ever seen such a reversed master-disciple relationship, but out of consideration for Dugu Bo, he didn't delve into it further.
"Sect Leader Ning, please."
Xie Mo extended his right hand, bowed, and invited the two into his residence, leaving the sect leader and guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School outside to chat. The entire Heaven Dou City knew about this the next day.
"Thank you for your help, Xiao Mo."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes flashed, revealing a look of shock, which he quickly suppressed, and followed Xie Mo as if nothing had happened.
"I wonder what business Sect Leader Ning has with my master?"
In the reception hall, Xie Mo looked at Ning Fengzhi with a smile.
