After noticing Qian Daoliu's gaze, Ye Xi couldn't help but smile and ask softly, "Grandfather, what's the matter?"
"Is there something wrong with me?"
As she spoke, Ye Xi glanced over her own body, but she didn't find anything amiss.
"Nothing."
Qian Daoliu waved his hand lightly. He didn't mention the Divinity aura he had discovered; instead, after sizing up Ye Xi for a few moments, he withdrew his gaze.
"In the future, our Spirit Hall might produce two Divinities."
Qian Daoliu thought to himself, his gaze sweeping over Qian Renxue and Ye Xi, feeling very pleased.
Under the watchful eyes of Qian Renxue and Ye Xi, Qian Daoliu rose from his seat and walked out of the Hall of Offerings.
"Grandfather, where are you going?"
Seeing Qian Daoliu about to leave, Qian Renxue asked.
And in Ye Xi's eyes, a hint of confusion appeared.
"Xue'er, Ye Xi, I'm going to arrange some matters. You have just returned, so just rest well in the Hall of Offerings."
Qian Daoliu glanced at the two with a kind look, then strode out of the Hall of Offerings.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue and Ye Xi exchanged a glance, smiled at each other, and didn't say anything more.
After leaving the Hall of Offerings and arranging for the maids to prepare a table of delicious food, Qian Daoliu headed straight for the Elder Palace.
The Elder Palace.
The moment Qian Daoliu walked in, all the Elders rose from their seats, bowed to Qian Daoliu, and respectfully called out, "High Priest."
Qian Daoliu waved his hand at the Elders before him, signaling them to rise. He then scanned all the Elders present, finally fixing his gaze on Ghost Leopard Douluo.
"Ghost Leopard, come with me."
After saying this, Qian Daoliu turned and walked out of the Elder Palace.
Ghost Leopard Douluo quickly followed in Qian Daoliu's footsteps.
"High Priest, is there something you need me to do?"
Ghost Leopard Douluo asked, walking beside Qian Daoliu.
Hearing Ghost Leopard Douluo's question, Qian Daoliu didn't answer immediately; instead, with his hands behind his back, he walked toward the Hall of Offerings.
Since Qian Daoliu didn't answer, Ghost Leopard Douluo didn't dare to ask again, merely following silently by Qian Daoliu's side.
However, Ghost Leopard Douluo felt somewhat uneasy inside.
It was common knowledge among the upper echelons of the Spirit Hall that the Hall of Offerings and the Supreme Pontiff Palace were at odds.
In recent years, because the High Priest had been staying in the Hall of Offerings and ignoring other matters, many Elders in the Elder Palace had been leaning towards Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, either openly or covertly.
Although Ghost Leopard Douluo hadn't completely sided with Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, he had done some things for her in secret, so he was currently unsure why the High Priest had called him out.
"Ghost Leopard, I intend to have you leave the Elder Palace and follow my granddaughter. What do you think?"
Walking on the way back to the Hall of Offerings, Qian Daoliu glanced at Ghost Leopard and asked.
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Ghost Leopard's previously uneasy heart instantly settled.
"High Priest, your subordinate is willing to follow your arrangements."
Ghost Leopard patted his chest, agreeing directly without any hesitation.
Seeing Ghost Leopard's reaction, Qian Daoliu just nodded with satisfaction and said nothing more.
Ghost Leopard followed silently by Qian Daoliu's side.
Returning to the Hall of Offerings, they saw that in the vast hall, only the sisters Qian Renxue and Ye Xi remained. As for Golden Crocodile and Tian Yue, who had been in the main hall, Golden Crocodile had taken Tian Yue back shortly after Qian Daoliu left.
"Grandfather, you're back."
Seeing Qian Daoliu return, Ye Xi spoke while her gaze involuntarily turned to Ghost Leopard Douluo behind him.
"Ye Xi, this is Ghost Leopard Douluo from the Elder Palace. He is a level 95 agility-attack system Titled Douluo. From now on, he will follow you and be responsible for protecting your safety."
Qian Daoliu brought Ghost Leopard Douluo before Ye Xi and introduced him to her.
"Greetings, Elder Ghost Leopard."
Ye Xi gave Ghost Leopard Douluo a polite smile.
"Second Miss, there is no need to be so polite."
"If there is anything you need in the future, just give the order."
Ghost Leopard bowed to Ye Xi, his voice very respectful.
"Then I will have to trouble Elder Ghost Leopard in the future."
Ye Xi gently raised her hand, signaling Ghost Leopard to rise.
"Ghost Leopard, you may return for now."
"When Ye Xi is ready to leave, you can accompany her then."
Qian Daoliu waved his hand at Ghost Leopard, signaling him to withdraw.
"High Priest, then this subordinate will take his leave."
After agreeing, Ghost Leopard headed straight out of the Hall of Offerings.
After Ghost Leopard left, Qian Renxue and Ye Xi looked at Qian Daoliu, their eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.
"Grandfather, the Elders of the Elder Palace have basically all sided with that woman, haven't they?"
Qian Renxue asked, her golden eyes narrowing slightly.
Although Ye Xi didn't speak, her meaning was the same as Qian Renxue's.
Both were very intelligent; from Qian Daoliu's actions, as well as the situation between the Hall of Offerings and the Supreme Pontiff Palace, they could easily deduce these things.
"More or less."
Seeing their gaze, Qian Daoliu said indifferently.
Although Qian Daoliu stayed in the Hall of Offerings and didn't concern himself with other matters, that didn't mean he didn't know anything.
Hearing this, the smile on Qian Renxue's face vanished, and a hint of gloom appeared in her eyes, but she didn't say anything more.
Ye Xi looked at Qian Renxue's expression, then at Qian Daoliu's indifferent demeanor, and after a moment of contemplation, she also remained silent.
"It's not a big deal."
"It's about time, let's go eat."
"Everything the maids prepared is food that you two like."
Seeing their expressions, Qian Daoliu rose from his seat and gestured for the two to go eat.
Qian Renxue and Ye Xi agreed, then followed Qian Daoliu out of the Hall of Offerings towards the dining area.
Arriving at the dining pavilion, they saw that the stone table in the pavilion was set with all kinds of delicacies, and these dishes were all favorites of Qian Renxue and Ye Xi.
"Xue'er, Ye Xi, come and taste it, how does it taste?"
Qian Daoliu reached out to invite them to sit, a kind smile on his face.
Qian Renxue and Ye Xi sat down at the dining table, picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and began to taste the delicacies before them.
After tasting a bite, the eyes of both Qian Renxue and Ye Xi gradually lit up.
"Grandfather, you should taste it too, it's delicious."
As Qian Renxue spoke, she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and placed it in Qian Daoliu's bowl.
