Flender and Yu Xiaogang, the two who ruined the Pope's wedding, were driven out.
Flender gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, that damned Qian Xunji!"
Flender cursed Qian Xunji countless times, but then he saw Xiaogang squatting to the side.
Flender walked over to Yu Xiaogang and found him squatting in a corner, drawing circles of unknown meaning with a twig. He frowned and asked, "Xiaogang, what are you doing now? Our top priority should be to find a way to rescue Erlong sister from this hellhole."
"Rescue?" Yu Xiaogang laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the World. He said with a bitter smile, "Flender, how do you expect me to rescue her? Your talent is very high, and your future achievements are promising. With normal development, you will be a Titled Douluo, but what about me? I am just a level 29 good-for-nothing."
"Why did Liu Erlong act that way just now? It's obvious that even though Qian Xunji left, he left people to monitor Liu Erlong. We are no match for Spirit Hall at all."
"What can I do? I'm in so much pain! Ah—ah—ah—" Yu Xiaogang roared at Flender three times in anger, then turned and ran away, wiping his tears.
Flender looked blankly in the direction Yu Xiaogang had fled and shouted, "But we can't just watch Erlong be pushed into a fiery pit!"
Qian Xunji took the rewards drawn from the system and went into the Angel Hall.
He went straight to Qian Renxue's room, opened the door, and saw a golden-haired little girl in a palace dress sitting in a chair, lost in thought. Qian Xunji's figure flickered, and he appeared behind Qian Renxue, reaching out to stroke her soft, silken golden hair.
Qian Renxue turned around, looking at her father with a complicated expression, and said, "Father, you've come to see Xue'er."
Qian Xunji, after all, was no longer the old Qian Xunji, so he didn't show any unnaturalness in his daughter's eyes.
He went straight to Qian Renxue, touched her soft golden hair, and said, "Has Xue'er missed Father?"
"Yes," Qian Renxue said sweetly.
"I heard that a while ago, your grandfather took you to obtain two spirit rings. How about it? Can Father see them?" Qian Xunji asked.
"Mhm, okay." Qian Renxue swept away the negative emotions in her heart and tried to summon her two spirit rings. Looking at the two yellow-orange spirit rings, Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Father, how are they? These are the two spirit rings Grandfather prepared for me!"
Qian Xunji's mouth twitched slightly. They really were the standard two yellow spirit rings.
"Xue'er, do you want a black spirit ring?" Qian Xunji asked.
Qian Renxue tilted her head, asking confusedly, "Father, Grandfather said that I can only obtain another spirit ring at level 30, and black spirit rings are ten-thousand-year spirit rings. I must be at level 50 to absorb them. Xue'er can't absorb them yet."
"Come, Father will show you a magic trick." Qian Xunji took out two cards and used one of them. To Qian Renxue's astonished eyes, a black spirit ring condensed, then slowly merged into Qian Renxue's first spirit ring.
To Qian Renxue's shock, the two spirit rings merged. Qian Renxue's original level 25 spirit power instantly increased to level 28 due to the ten-thousand-year spirit ring. At the same time, Qian Renxue felt her spirit power attributes, physical body, mental force, and other comprehensive attributes increase exponentially.
The advantage of high-year spirit rings is, firstly, it greatly increases the power of Spirit Abilities; secondly, it increases one's spirit power reserves; and thirdly, it increases one's mental force and physical strength, preparing for acquiring higher-year spirit rings at the next level. If Tang San didn't have Xiao Wu's wife spirit ring, he would be dreaming if he thought he could absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring for his seventh spirit ring!
"This..." Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment. This completely shattered the worldview that Qian Daoliu had built for her.
"Don't rush, Father's magic trick isn't over yet." Qian Xunji finished speaking and then used another ten-thousand-year spirit ring. This ten-thousand-year spirit ring once again merged into Qian Renxue's spirit ring.
Qian Renxue's spirit power, physical body, and mental force attributes increased once more. This time, due to absorbing the spirit ring, her level directly rose to 30.
Now, Qian Renxue's two hundred-year spirit rings were directly transformed into two astonishing ten-thousand-year spirit rings because of Qian Xunji. Only after completing this was Qian Xunji satisfied.
This is the configuration my daughter should have.
Qian Xunji said to Qian Renxue, "For now, don't go get your third spirit ring. First, stabilize your realm. Also, don't let your grandfather find out that you've reached level 30. Even if he does, don't rush to get a spirit ring. I'll come back to you in a while to help you get your third spirit ring."
"Mhm, Father."
After giving these instructions, Qian Xunji played with his daughter for a while longer, then left.
As he left, he didn't notice the complex look in his daughter's eyes.
People on the Douluo Continent are generally precocious, especially those like Qian Renxue, who have received elite education since childhood. Her worldview already had a rudimentary form.
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Xunji's retreating figure, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She found it hard to imagine that her father, who had always been a tall and imposing figure in her mind, would do such a thing.
The young Qian Renxue was currently unable to determine who was right and who was wrong.
Qian Renxue summoned her Spirit and fell into deep thought, looking at her first two ten-thousand-year spirit rings.
In the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Qian Xunji changed into a formal suit. He admired his handsome reflection in the full-length mirror and asked contentedly, "Good Disciple, what do you think of your master now?"
"A wolf in sheep's clothing," Bibi Dong uttered a single word indifferently.
Qian Xunji wasn't annoyed. After tidying his attire, he led the wedding procession away.
Bibi Dong watched Qian Xunji's retreating figure, her eyes lost in thought.
The person Qian Xunji was going to marry this time was Liu Erlong, or rather, Yu Erlong. According to the limited information Bibi Dong had gathered, Yu Erlong, Xiaogang, and a man named Flender together formed the Golden Triangle.
Previously, Bibi Dong hadn't realized anything was wrong with this, but after Qian Xunji's reminder last time, Bibi Dong began to feel a little worried.
Could it be that I endured humiliation for Xiaogang for so many years?
Not only does Xiaogang not appreciate my kindness, but he also has a lover outside. The vows we made back then, you said you would only love me in this life. Were all those words just nonsense?
That's right—
My body has been defiled by that beast Qian Xunji. I'm not worthy of you, Xiaogang!
It's all that beast Qian Xunji's fault.
The darkness within Bibi Dong's heart grew deeper and deeper.
