"Wonderful!" Hu Liena cried tears of joy.
"Not bad as my opponent, Xie Yue," Yan said with a grin, showing no discouragement.
Xie Yue's Innate Soul Power might have been slightly higher than his, but Yan's Martial Soul quality was superior.
Ignoring the chatter beside him, Xie Yue stared intently at Ye Tian and spoke with utmost seriousness, "Brother Ye Tian, thank you!"
As he spoke, Xie Yue's legs gave way and he knelt directly before Ye Tian.
"Xie Yue, what are you doing?!" Ye Tian was momentarily stunned before quickly bending down to help him up.
Seeing this, Yan and Hu Liena exchanged a glance before dropping to their knees with two thuds, also kneeling before Ye Tian.
"Brother Tian!" Yan exclaimed. "I'm not good with words, I don't know what to say... but I'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Tian!"
"Nana will repay your kindness a hundredfold..." Hu Liena added.
Jin Yue'er watched the kneeling figures around her and quietly moved closer to Qian Renxue. "Sister Xue, should I kneel too?"
Qian Renxue was momentarily speechless at the question. She turned to look at Jin Yue'er and rolled her eyes in exasperation. "What do you think?"
Before Jin Yue'er could respond, Ye Tian called out to them for help. "Little Xue, Yue'er, stop watching and help them up quickly."
"Right away," Qian Renxue responded and immediately sprang into action.
Soon, Qian Renxue and the other two had helped the kneeling trio to their feet.
Ye Tian wore a smile on his face. These three promising individuals had already met his expectations. However, he still planned to invest further in them!
"Xie Yue, if you really want to thank me, there's no need to kneel," Ye Tian said, spreading his hands. He didn't care for such empty gestures, then added teasingly, "If you really want to kneel, you should wait a moment first."
"What?" Xie Yue looked at Ye Tian in confusion.
Under their curious gazes, Ye Tian turned to Qian Renxue with a smile. "Little Xue~"
"Hmm? What is it?" Qian Renxue looked gently at Ye Tian.
"Do you remember I said that if their talents were decent, I'd have another favor to ask of you and Yue'er?"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Qian Renxue hesitated slightly before nodding. "Of course I remember."
"What exactly is it? Why does it involve me too?" Jin Yue'er eagerly grabbed Ye Tian's arm.
Smoothing Jin Yue'er's sky-piercing braid, Ye Tian looked seriously at Qian Renxue and said, "I want you to contact the elders at the Hall of Worship and ask them to take Xie Yue and Yan as disciples."
"What?!" Xie Yue and Yan's eyes widened in shock.
The Hall of Worship!
After attending these gatherings for so long, they naturally knew its location - it was the building situated behind the Papal Hall, just like their orphanage. The difference was that the Hall of Worship stood atop the mountain peak, while their orphanage was located at the mountain's base.
When they occasionally looked up at the sky, they could see that magnificent, towering golden palace!
During their gatherings over the past year and a half, they had not only learned the name of the Hall of Worship but also understood that the Soul Masters inside were all at least Titled Douluo of level ninety-five or higher! They were powerful enough to overturn half the Soul Master Realm!
And now, Brother Ye Tian actually wanted to send them to the Hall of Worship...
Xie Yue finally understood why Ye Tian had said those words about having him kneel later.
Kneel!
He deserved to kneel!
He should kneel for a lifetime!
Brother Ye Tian had given them extraordinary talent and even more, a brilliant future.
Even most biological parents wouldn't go to such lengths with such dedication!
Thump.
Yan directly knelt before Ye Tian, with Xie Yue and Hu Liena quickly following suit.
They knelt in a row.
Ye Tian merely glanced at them before paying no further attention, still looking at Qian Renxue and the others.
"Little Xue, Yue'er, could you help out?"
Whoosh—!
Jin Yue'er lifted her face from Ye Tian's shoulder.
Not only were Xie Yue and the others shocked, even Qian Renxue was nearly overwhelmed.
She never imagined Ye Tian would go this far for these siblings he had just met by chance.
"I have to listen to Sister Xue on this matter!"
Jin Yue'er's eyes held apology.
Her stance was clear.
Although she very much wanted to help Ye Tian, the Hall of Worship wasn't her family's property.
She couldn't overstep her bounds.
Unless she could get her grandfather to take in Xie Yue and the other two—then she might be able to put in a good word, but that was all.
"..."
Qian Renxue remained silent for a long moment, then suddenly broke into a smile as she looked at Ye Tian.
"Of course we can."
"Leave this matter to us!"
Qian Renxue patted her still undeveloped chest.
"But I can't guarantee it will work out."
"Right, no guarantees."
Jin Yue'er beamed with joy and quickly chimed in.
"I'm glad you're willing to help."
Ye Tian chuckled heartily, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"I believe those seniors must be quite bored in their daily lives. They'd probably be happy to find successors for themselves."
"Let's hope so."
Qian Renxue said with a smile.
"If it really doesn't work out, I'll just have to use that condition from Senior Jin E."
Ye Tian raised an eyebrow at Jin Yue'er.
"Oh! So that's your plan, Ye Tian—to push Xie Yue and the others onto my grandfather! Haha, I don't mind~"
Jin Yue'er giggled and stepped forward again, grabbing Ye Tian's wrist and cooing sweetly:
"But~ you'll have to keep me well-fed from now on!"
"Treat you to meals?"
"Great! Just replace the rice grains with Pills."
"In your dreams!"
"Ah!"
Ye Tian scowled and unceremoniously pushed Jin Yue'er away.
This woman was truly insatiable.
"Hmph! You're the one dreaming here—who needs your measly meals anyway."
Jin Yue'er rubbed her cheek, pouting.
"Pfft..."
Qian Renxue couldn't hold back her laughter.
Ye Tian finally turned his gaze to Xie Yue and the other two, smiling as he said, "You should get up now. Save your knees for kneeling to your future teachers—that would be more meaningful."
"Yes!"
Xie Yue nodded firmly.
"Brother Tian, we will forever remember your great kindness."
Yan and Hu Liena followed Xie Yue's lead.
"And we must thank Sister Xue and Sister Yue'er too!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
"Alright, let's eat now!"
"..."
Amid the clattering of dishes,
Half an hour passed, and it was time to part ways again.
Yan and Xie Yue returned to the orphanage as usual.
Ye Tian and Qian Renxue also went their separate ways, each heading home.
The sunlight was bright and intense.
At the mountain peak, the Hall of Worship adjacent to the Douluo Hall was unusually lively.
Having just returned from the foot of the mountain,
Qian Renxue immediately put Ye Tian's request into action.
"Grandpa, Ye Tian said if no one will take him, then Grandpa Golden Crocodile should fulfill his promise."
"???"
Golden Crocodile Douluo beside them was momentarily stunned.
"He wants me to take him as a disciple if no one else will?"
"That's right! Two geniuses with Innate Full Spirit Power!"
Jin Yue'er made a victory sign with her fingers and said with a cheerful laugh.
