"Because he's happier...more relaxed here, are you satisfied now?"
Gu Yuena had walked over unnoticed.
Actually, she had arrived earlier, but she hadn't attacked because she could tell the black-robed man had no intention of killing Qian Renshang.
However, she hadn't expected this black-robed man to be Qian Renshang's grandfather, Qian Daoliu!
"You are..."
Qian Daoliu frowned at the rude silver-haired girl, and Qian Renshang quickly introduced her.
"Grandpa, her name is Gu Yuena...she's my friend.
I survived as a child because of her!"
"Sister Nana...this is my grandfather."
Qian Renshang introduced Qian Daoliu to Gu Yuena as well; he didn't want the two of them to suddenly start fighting.
"Hello... Miss, thank you for taking care of my grandson all these years."
Upon hearing that Gu Yuena had saved Qian Renshang when he was a child, Qian Daoliu instantly felt a great deal of goodwill towards her.
However, Gu Yuena remained expressionless and coldly said,
"You just wanted Qian Renshang to return to the Spirit Hall, right?"
"Yes... After all, that's his home!"
Qian Daoliu nodded in confusion, wondering why Gu Yuena seemed so angry.
"That place of heartbreak counts as home?
Do you know how much trauma that place inflicted on Qian Renshang... If he hadn't been lucky, he would have died there when he was a child!" "
Now that he's just returned, how did Qian Renxue treat him... She tried to kill him as soon as she arrived, and... Bibi Dong is now some kind of Pope of the Spirit Hall, isn't she!"
"Given that woman's attitude towards Qian Renshang... if she finds out when Qian Renshang goes back, who knows what kind of targeting he'll face?"
Gu Yuena looked at Qian Daoliu with a frosty expression and coldly retorted.
"What are you doing bringing him back to such a dangerous place?
Do you want him to die?"
"I...I didn't."
Qian Daoliu's face was ugly. He had almost forgotten about Bibi Dong's situation.
"I can handle Bibi Dong's situation. Although she's the Pope now... she can't control me."
"Even if you can guarantee his safety... do you think Qian Renshang will be happy going back?
Facing a sister and mother who's always wanted to kill him."
"I..."
Qian Daoliu was speechless, his old face turning pale and then red.
Gu Yuena's words were too sharp; he couldn't refute them.
He seemed to have no right to demand that Qian Renshang go back with him.
"Sister Nana..."
Qian Renshang looked at Gu Yuena with deep emotion.
He knew why Gu Yuena had been so agitated in her confrontation with Qian Daoliu.
Because she knew that as Qian Daoliu's grandson, she couldn't say these things herself, so Gu Yuena had to play the villain.
"Qian Renshang... remember this: in this world, no one but me can bully you."
"Because you... are mine!"
Gu Yuena shouted domineeringly at Qian Renshang, who smiled with narrowed eyes.
Seeing their expressions, Qian Daoliu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with a sense of understanding.
Perhaps Qian Renshang had truly found his "family," and family wasn't necessarily bound by blood ties.
Qian Daoliu was a magnanimous person; knowing that Qian Renshang was alive was already the best news.
"Alright... this girl is right. Perhaps you really aren't suited for the Spirit Hall anymore, but Grandpa will still be your haven!"
"Whenever... you can come back whenever you want."
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renshang and spoke earnestly, word by word.
Qian Renshang smiled and agreed.
"Also, if you have time... you can visit your father's grave."
Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment before adding, and upon hearing the word "father,"
Qian Renshang's expression instantly froze.
Father... Qian Xunji, perhaps the only person Qian Renshang felt some guilt towards.
Because he knew Qian Xunji might die later, but he hadn't stopped him.
Perhaps revealing his identity as a transmigrator would have made Qian Xunji listen to him at the time, but... there are no ifs.
Dead is dead.
"...I will."
Qian Renshang replied calmly. Qian Daoliu reached out and patted Qian Renshang's shoulder. This time, he didn't say anything more.
With a single step, he vanished from his spot and appeared in the sky, walking on air.
"Child... I hope your future will be smoother. Even I can't easily solve the problems with Bibi Dong,"
Qian Daoliu sighed helplessly. What a perfect child Qian Renshang was.
Compared to Qian Renxue, Qian Renshang was practically perfect; he was far more suitable to be the successor of the Qian family.
Unfortunately, because of Bibi Dong, this child was pushed far away.
This was not only a loss for the Qian family but also a loss for the Spirit Hall.
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu's hatred for Bibi Dong intensified.
"I haven't even had Qian Renshang demonstrate his Angel Spirit yet!"
Qian Daoliu suddenly remembered something and said with annoyance.
He had heard from the Porcupine Douluo and the other two that Qian Renshang seemed to have twin spirits!
The other spirit was also an angel, but it was somewhat different from the Qian family's Angel Spirit.
During this time, Qian Daoliu kept dreaming of someone possessing a dark angel who would destroy the entire Spirit Hall… even the entire continent.
However, he couldn't make out the person's face.
"Never mind… I'll ask again next time we meet."
Qian Daoliu turned and quickly left.
…
…
Mental Domain, Release!
After Qian Daoliu left, the aura emanating from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy gradually came to the attention of others, and Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena also began to slowly depart.
Having recognized his grandfather Qian Daoliu, Qian Renshang could barely be considered to have gained another relative in this world, and he was in a good mood.
However, the oppressive feeling Qian Daoliu had just given him still left him somewhat shaken.
"Sister Nana… I really didn't like that feeling just now.
Grandpa didn't even use his spirit against me.
Even if I had used my seventh spirit skill, I felt like I would have been easily defeated."
Qian Renshang's expression was somewhat discouraged, and Gu Yuena comforted him from the side.
"That old man... ugh, your grandfather is indeed very strong.
I even sensed the aura of a god on him.
His strength is rare among you humans; even Xiong Jun and the others are no match for him." "
Only Di Tian can contend with him... You're only a seventh-ring cultivator now, so don't be discouraged if you can't beat him."
Gu Yuena's eyes held a hint of melancholy as she spoke.
A mere hundred years of cultivation for humans could equal ten thousand years of arduous training for soul beasts; this world was truly unfair.
"I'm not discouraged... I'm just thinking about when I'll have the power to protect Sister Nana, so that no one can harm you."
Qian Renshang said earnestly, and Gu Yuena smiled slightly.
"Then you'd better work harder, kid... My enemies are far stronger than you imagine."
"Alright! I'll try my best!"
Qian Renshang's fighting spirit soared!
