"Enough!"
Qian Renxue coldly interrupted their argument.
She Long and Ci Xue were startled and immediately fell silent, their eyes still filled with confusion.
Qian Renxue sighed softly and explained in a deep voice, "Without speaking to him face to face, there are many things you can't understand."
"But one thing I'm almost certain of!"
"Please enlighten me, young master!"
The two immediately lowered their heads and said respectfully.
Qian Renxue looked through the window towards the direction where Dongfang Jing had disappeared, her voice carrying a hint of solemnity.
"He took the divine test! But it doesn't seem to be the sea god that Grandpa mentioned before, but some unknown deity!"
"I just don't know what level he is."
"Could it be... that Dongfang Jing will inherit the divine position after completing the assessment? Or..."
"What?!"
She Long and Ci Xue were both speechless, their faces filled with horror.
Wouldn't that be the same as the young master?
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, and continued, "Moreover, every word he said contained an extremely strong sense of confidence."
"It's like..."
"Even when facing an entire nation, or even our Spirit Hall, we will not be afraid in the slightest..."
Qian Renxue raised her hand to her forehead, feeling somewhat irritated, and gently pressed her temples.
"The appearance of an unknown deity is already beyond our expectations."
"But Dongfang Jing did not take any measures to conceal this."
"He's not stupid, but that only proves that he truly has the confidence to back it up!"
But where does this confidence come from?
Is it the secret hidden within that boy?
Or are they those titled Douluos from Purple Star Academy?
Could it be that all those people were level 99 Limit Douluo?
Is it because they gave him so much confidence that he's so fearless?
Qian Renxue's mood became increasingly agitated.
She truly never expected that this boy, who was much younger than her, could have come this far!
Qian Renxue had investigated and found that Dongfang Jing was an adopted orphan with no background whatsoever.
With such a background, how could he cultivate to the Soul Emperor level and even come into contact with the Divine Trial!
Even though she didn't know much about him, Qian Renxue now had to admit it.
Dongfang Jing is even more outstanding than me!
"No, I must go back to Wuhun City myself and tell Grandpa about this!"
She stood up abruptly, her eyes regaining their resolute expression.
Where is my double?
"Uncle She Long, Uncle Ci Xue, go and make preparations."
"Yes, young master!"
...
On the other side,
Dongfang Jing, who was strolling along the main road of Tiandou City, was also thinking about Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue.
Although he didn't know who the woman impersonating the crown prince was,
However, it is already foreseeable that the Heavenly Dou Empire may undergo a change of fortune in the near future.
Dongfang Jing thought to himself silently.
Since that person possesses a divine-level soul bone, could it be that he is backed by a force that possesses divine inheritance?
Was the substitution of the crown prince by a raccoon cat a scheme to seize the Heavenly Dou Empire?
He pursed his lips.
That was a really bad move!
Is it more important for a mere human nation to strive to become a god?
That being said, even Dongfang Jing himself was somewhat surprised.
If it weren't for this experience, he wouldn't have noticed that the X-ray vision ability of his eye soul bone seemed to have improved unintentionally.
In the past, he definitely wouldn't have been able to see through the disguise of that soul bone.
Dongfang Jing recalled the experiences of these past days.
The change in the soul bone around the eyes must be related to the start of the Blazing Sun Divine Trial.
Dongfang Jing reached out and gently touched the sun mark between his eyebrows.
Thinking back, when I was at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Lake, after being enveloped by that beam of golden light that descended from the sky, every part of my body, especially my eyes, did feel warm.
However, he was in the water at the time, and there were two dragon souls watching him, so he didn't pay much attention.
...
The full moon hangs high in the sky.
Before he knew it, Dongfang Jing had arrived at the entrance of Zixing Academy.
He subconsciously slowed his pace, lingered at the door for a while, and then leisurely walked along the back mountain path to the front of the villa.
Dongfang Jing was just about to use his soul bone to observe the situation inside the villa.
But thinking about it carefully, it would be really not good if I saw something I shouldn't have seen.
He gently opened the door a crack, his footsteps and movements extremely quiet.
When he passed through the living room and saw that it was empty, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey bro, what are you doing?"
A crisp sound rang out from behind, making Dongfang Jing shudder.
He pretended nothing had happened and turned away.
"It's Yao'er, what's wrong?"
"nothing."
Dongfang Yao, wearing a lace-trimmed nightgown, tilted her head and sized him up.
"I thought a thief had broken in, but it turned out to be my brother."
"By the way, have you eaten? Sister Yin left some food for you, shall I go heat it up for you?"
Dongfang Jing shook his head.
"I've already eaten."
He paused, but couldn't resist.
"By the way, has your sister Brigitte been eating properly?"
"Hmm." Dongfang Yao nodded, then blinked feigning confusion, "Why are you asking this, brother?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Dongfang Jing said no more and went upstairs to her room.
After he left,
Dongfang Yao walked into the storage room next to the living room and saw Biji hiding behind the door, remaining silent.
"Sister, you heard it all, brother cares about you so much!"
"I just feel like… he's avoiding me," Brigitte said softly, her voice somewhat low.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yao felt that this matter was indeed difficult to handle.
She quickly stepped forward, took Brigitte's hand, and tried to comfort her, saying, "No, no, I think my brother was just sneaking around trying to scare me or tease me. Sister Brigitte, please don't overthink it!"
"Really? But I have a feeling..."
"That's definitely the case!" Dongfang Yao interrupted her, her tone certain.
"Think about it, he was kept being questioned by that annoying crown prince and didn't get home until so late. The first thing he asked when he walked in was whether you had eaten. That shows how important you are to him!"
Hearing these words, Brigitte felt a little better, but the sense of loss still lingered.
Dongfang Yao rested one finger on her chin, putting herself in Dongfang Jing's shoes to think about the problem.
If it were me, I would be preparing to give the "Heartbreaking Red of Longing," a symbol of sincere love, to the person I like.
But in the end, not only did the person he liked not pick it, but he himself didn't either.
Then, I heard that the person she liked was going to find someone who seemed to be a rival in love in a couple of days, and then that troublesome prince came over again to ask all sorts of questions.
After returning home, I still didn't know how to face my master, so I could only choose to escape for the time being.
So many things happened that day.
Just thinking about it makes Dongfang Yao feel like she's about to explode; she feels so sorry for her brother.
