Qian Daoliu gently rubbed Qian Renxue's head and said softly, "Xue'er, your father is just having trouble accepting it right now, don't blame him."
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Renxue said nothing, her teeth clenched, her eyes flashing with hatred.
For the past six years, Qian Renxue had only hatred for her adoptive father; nothing else mattered. She wished him dead. She only had her mother and grandfather, no father!
Seeing Qian Renxue's appearance, Qian Daoliu gave a bitter smile and shook his head helplessly. What kind of karma had she created?
For a moment, Qian Daoliu didn't know whether to thank Xu Xin or hate him.
Oh well, let children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
A short while later, Golden Crocodile Douluo rushed over: "Grand Elder...the Pope, the Pope...is dead."
Dead!
Qian Daoliu arrived in an instant, having captured Qian Renxue. Looking at Qian Xunji lying on the bed, Qian Daoliu's terrifying soul power instantly probed him—no life!
Dead, truly dead.
He died without anyone noticing, without a single wound. How could this be?
Upon hearing of Qian Xunji's death, a golden light flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. This man was finally dead; her and her mother's happy life was about to begin.
"Golden Crocodile, what exactly happened?" Qian Daoliu asked coldly.
Golden Crocodile shook his head: "The Pope was already like this when I arrived."
He truly had no idea; the man was dead the moment he arrived. What could he do?
"Investigate!"
"Golden Crocodile, this matter is entrusted to you." As
Qian Daoliu spoke, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. This person had killed his own son without his knowledge; his strength was definitely no less than his own.
But what methods did he use? His son didn't even have a single wound; his death was extremely suspicious.
"Golden Crocodile, you will temporarily assume the position of Pope until Xue'er grows up."
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded; temporarily assuming the position of Pope wasn't difficult.
After collecting Qian Xunji's corpse, Qian Daoliu returned to the Hall of Worship with Qian Renxue.
Inside the Hall, Qian Daoliu suppressed his anger and looked gently at Qian Renxue: "Xue'er, don't think so much. Go awaken your martial soul."
Qian Renxue smiled, a rare occurrence: "Okay, Grandpa."
With her golden hair and fair, rosy cheeks, little Qian Renxue was incredibly cute.
Seeing Qian Renxue like this, Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly. A father who is unkind, a daughter who is unfilial...
Qian Renxue stepped forward and placed her hands on the awakening crystal ball.
Instantly, terrifying light filled the crystal ball, and Qian Renxue felt as if something powerful was about to appear behind her.
Whoosh!
Qian Renxue let out a soft snort, and terrifying light and dark energy instantly emanated from behind her. A half-light, half-dark angel appeared behind her.
The angel's wings were half light and half darkness, a six-winged angel of light and darkness, light and darkness converging on Qian Renxue.
Seeing Qian Renxue's martial soul, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. A angel of light and darkness, why is that?
Qian Daoliu's gaze turned to the Angel Temple behind him, but there was nothing unusual there.
The next moment, the soul power testing crystal instantly filled up.
"Innate soul power level 20."
The Angel God's blessing had indeed descended, and Qian Daoliu's heart relaxed a little; nothing unexpected had happened.
Could this angel of light and darkness be the key to inheriting the divine position? Such a possibility flashed through Qian Daoliu's mind. What if?
Maybe it's true. For so many years, no one who possessed a six-winged angel martial soul had had the opportunity to receive the Angel God's final inheritance. Perhaps his beloved granddaughter might?
As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face. Good, good! The sadness of Qian Xunji's death just now was swept away in an instant, replaced by excitement.
For the sake of the Angel God, it's all worth it.
Where there is light, there is darkness; perhaps his granddaughter really can inherit the Angel God's position.
"Grandpa, am I very powerful?" Qian Renxue reached out her little hand and tugged at Qian Daoliu's sleeve.
Her mother, standing beside her, was already in tears. Good, good, her daughter was a peerless genius.
"Of course, Xue'er is the most powerful."
Qian Daoliu patted her head with satisfaction, speaking gently.
Clap clap clap!
A round of applause rang out.
"Grand Elder, how about your dear granddaughter becomes my disciple?"
Outside the Hall of Worship, in the sky, Xu Xin quietly floated in the air, his Evil God Wings gently flapping behind him.
Hmm... I killed your son, and now I'm taking your granddaughter as my disciple, I'm really too wicked.
Xu Xin didn't hide when he appeared, releasing his full strength as a Limit Douluo.
The next moment, Qian Daoliu and several elders appeared above the Hall of Worship, Qian Renxue and her mother standing outside the Hall of Worship quietly watching the group in the air.
"Hehe, the presence of the Shadow Palace Master is truly an honor to my Spirit Hall."
Qian Daoliu said with a smile. He had already sensed Xu Xin's strength and was no longer hesitant to approach him. He never expected that the little guy from back then would reach the same level as him in just a few years.
"Hehe, Grand Elder, you jest. I came here only for Qian Renxue and have no ill intentions. There's no need for such hostility from the Grand Elder."
Xu Xin said with a smile, his gaze falling on the little girl below, a blonde loli who was extremely cute.
Qian Daoliu looked at Xu Xin with suspicion. Was he really only here for his granddaughter?
"There's no need to trouble the Shadow Palace Master. I will personally teach my granddaughter."
Qian Daoliu shook his head and refused.
Xu Xin was not annoyed and smiled: "Grand Elder, why don't you ask the little girl's opinion?"
Sensing Xu Xin's strength, Qian Daoliu did not want to be his enemy, so he nodded, and his terrifying soul power lifted Qian Renxue up to his side.
"Xue'er, would you be willing to become this young friend's disciple?"
Qian Daoliu didn't rule out the possibility entirely. He knew Xu Xin's strength; a former Soul King, now a Limit Douluo—he didn't believe he wasn't capable.
If it weren't for Qian Renxue's connection to the Angel God, he would have genuinely wanted to entrust her to Xu Xin.
However, given her connection to the Angel God, he couldn't afford to be careless; keeping her by his side was the best option.
Qian Renxue blinked her large eyes at the young man before her. So young, yet even her grandfather treated him with such seriousness—he must be incredibly powerful.
Suddenly, Qian Renxue's Light and Dark Angel Martial Soul unconsciously activated, her angel wings flapping incessantly.
Those light and dark wings seemed to have discovered a treasure, flapping excitedly.
Qian Renxue looked at the man before her curiously. She felt that the black wings of her Martial Soul were related to the man before her, while the light wings seemed to be related to the great hall behind her.
What a magical feeling.
Qian Daoliu looked at his granddaughter in surprise. Could it be that this martial soul was related to the guy in front of him?
Xu Xin was also a little confused. He knew about Qian Renxue's martial soul and had come to see her specifically, hoping to take her as a disciple. But now, why did he feel that her martial soul was related to his?
