"Grandpa, is that Tang Hao dead?"
Hall of Enshrinement.
Qian Renxue rushed over, the first thing she wanted was to see Tang Hao's head.
She lost her father at a young age, and her mother being alive was worse than being dead. The trauma and hardship of her childhood desperately needed someone to vent her anger on.
She wanted to use Tang Hao's death to regain her inner balance and return to peace.
Qian Daoliu sighed:
"Two arms, one leg."
"His Martial Soul is also crippled."
Tang Hao's two legs were actually fine; what was missing was the third leg between his two legs, but there was no need to explain this in detail to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was not satisfied with this and questioned:
"Why didn't you kill Tang Hao?!"
Qian Daoliu had many unspeakable difficulties, but it was not good to tell Qian Renxue about them. Fortunately, the strangeness about Tang San was the best reason and excuse to fool Qian Renxue.
Qian Daoliu told Qian Renxue about the strange things on Tang San and then said solemnly:
"This child should not be underestimated. Xue'er, you should pay more attention to him in the future. If you have a chance to kill him, you must not be indecisive!"
Qian Renxue nodded. This was the first time in her life she had criticized Qian Daoliu. She said resentfully:
"Of course."
"I won't be like Grandpa, letting the tiger return to the mountain."
Qian Daoliu gave a wry smile.
Xue'er...
He realized that the unbreakable relationship between him and his granddaughter had developed some cracks because of Tang Hao's matter, and it needed to be repaired.
Fortunately, Qian Daoliu was still very concerned about Qian Renxue. Pufferfish Douluo and Spear Douluo had also reported Qian Renxue's situation to him, so he naturally knew what to say to make his granddaughter happy.
It seems... Xue'er is very interested in a young man named Lin Xiao?
Qian Daoliu catered to her preference and said:
"Xue'er, I heard that you have a special regard for a young man named Lin Xiao. You wanted to recruit him as early as in Heaven Dou City, but you didn't succeed?"
"Although I don't concern myself with worldly affairs, I also know that this Lin Xiao is the captain of the champion team in this Soul Master Competition."
"You have been lurking in the Heaven Dou Empire for a long time and haven't had time to cultivate your own core team. All the affairs of the Spirit Hall are controlled by that woman. If you can have a young man with extraordinary talent follow you early on."
"When you take over the Spirit Hall in the future, you won't be without trusted aides."
While speaking, Qian Daoliu kept observing Qian Renxue's expression. Seeing her face gradually soften, he knew he had guessed correctly.
His granddaughter was indeed very fond of that young man.
He smiled:
"That young man probably doesn't know your true identity yet. It's not easy for you to recruit him as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, so why don't I, your grandfather, give it a try?"
"It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not."
"Grandfather also wants to see with his own eyes, what kind of heaven's favored child is this young man whom Xue'er you favor so much?"
Qian Renxue's face flushed slightly, and she said coquettishly:
"Grandfather, don't you believe in my judgment?"
Qian Daoliu laughed heartily.
"Precisely because I believe in Xue'er's judgment, I want to see him even more!"
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although Xue'er was a little dissatisfied because of Tang Hao, she was still as close to him as usual, but this still proved Lin Xiao's importance in Qian Renxue's heart.
Qian Daoliu struck while the iron was hot, "After I see him today, I'll give him some guidance and benefits. It will be much easier for Xue'er to tame him in the future."
He had already made up his mind to help Qian Renxue win over Lin Xiao!
Qian Renxue nodded with a blush.
...
The Soul Master Competition ended.
After seeing the aftermath of the great battle last night, the Burning Maple Battle Team all seemed exceptionally excited, chattering and discussing.
Yan Song was full of shock.
"I went out of the city to take a look this morning, and wow, the ground was like it had been plowed by an earth dragon. All sorts of stone debris, powder, and fragments were scattered everywhere. The foundation of Spirit Hall is truly profound!"
"When can we also become such peerless powerhouses? Cultivating to this level, even a Titled Douluo isn't enough to look at!"
Dugu Yan nodded, "My grandfather definitely can't do that."
"Lin Xiao! Who do you think was the one who attacked yesterday?"
Ye Lingling blinked her eyes. Seeing that Lin Xiao wasn't participating in the discussion, she felt that this guy seemed to know something.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment and replied:
"The one who fought against Tang Hao outside the city yesterday should be Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the one who protected the entire Spirit City from destruction was probably Spirit Hall's strongest, Qian Daoliu."
People like Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling knew very little about powerhouses from the last century like Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Therefore, they all pestered Lin Xiao for specific information.
Lin Xiao briefly answered, not dwelling on the matter for too long, and then smiled:
"These are all old people from the last century. When they stirred up trouble, it was at least a hundred years ago."
"All that is past is gone. To count the truly great figures, one must look to the present."
"Everyone, since we're gathered together, let's distribute the soul bones?"
Lin Xiao took out the soul bones from his storage soul tool. They were the Mental Condensation Head Soul Bone, the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm, and the Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg.
"Captain, I contributed the least to the team. Becoming the champion of the Soul Master Competition was basically all thanks to you leading us."
"I voluntarily withdraw from the soul bone distribution."
The moment Lin Xiao took out the soul bones, Yan Song spoke up proactively. A simple smile hung on his honest face, and he said contentedly:
"I never thought in my life that I would be able to become the champion of the Soul Master Competition in my lifetime."
"My family has written several times urging me to go back."
"After the Soul Master Competition ends, I will probably leave the academy and return to my family to contribute to the family's development."
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, took out paper and pen, and wrote down several medicinal bath lists for Yan Song.
"You're the young master of your family after all, how can you go back without bringing some good things? These medicinal bath lists are the result of my teacher's hard work. You can't spread them after you take them back. If you buy them at the Ye Family Clinic, you'll get a 15% discount."
Yan Song's face lit up with joy. No one knew the value of these medicinal bath lists better than him. With his talent, it would be difficult for him to break through to Soul Ancestor even with more effort.
It was the medicinal bath resources of the Burning Maple Battle Team that helped him break through to Soul Ancestor just in time in the final period.
Lin Xiao then distributed the following soul bones:
"Within the team, only Shui Yue'er is a agility-type attacker, so the Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg goes to her; Ning Rongrong is a support-type Soul Master, the Head Soul Bone for focused control and spirit condensation pairs well with her, so it goes to her; there is also an Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm soul bone, this soul bone belongs to me."
"This is the most reasonable distribution."
"For the others who didn't get a soul bone, I will provide corresponding compensation."
Shui Bing'er waved her hands repeatedly, "Binger doesn't want compensation, Brother Lin Xiao, you've already given so much..."
Ye Lingling's eyes lit up.
Compensation?
She quickly replied:
"Okay!"
"I want you, Lin Xiao, to compensate me!"
"It must be a one-step process!"
