Chapter 118: Qian Daoliu's Thoughts
The gazes of everyone present focused on the golden-haired man in the center. As the spokesperson for the Divinity on the mortal plane, even Qian Daoliu, whose face was eternally unchanging, showed a rare hint of astonishment upon hearing this news.
His precious Granddaughter's method of revenge was truly a bit...
However, Qian Daoliu didn't feel that it mattered much.
"With such a scandal exposed, based on my understanding of that waste, he will certainly try every means possible to cover it up. There's not much to worry about from Bibi Dong's side."
Qian Daoliu said with an air of calm indifference, "However, I will still have Snake Lance and Porcupine Fish keep an eye out. It is not yet time for Little Xue to know about that matter."
The matter Qian Daoliu was referring to was naturally the incident from years ago: Qian Xunji's secret chamber, Bibi Dong, subsequently being crippled by Tang Hao's hammer blow, and then being taken advantage of and absorbed by Bibi Dong.
As the High Priest of the Angel God, he knew that inheriting the Angel God Position was also a considerable test of the inheritor's Heart-Nature.
Especially since one of the trials required the inheritor to directly face the dark side within their own heart. If they passed, everything would be wonderful; if they failed...
The result was easy to imagine.
Even though Qian Renxue possessed Innate level 20 Soul Power, and even with him, the High Priest of the Angel God, leading the way for her, he couldn't guarantee that his precious Granddaughter could inherit the Angel God Position with 100% certainty.
Therefore, it was best to guard against potential issues.
"Elder Brother, we understand, but regarding the Young Miss and that kid named Jiang Li from the Tang Sect, should we intervene?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu lowered his head in thought for a long time before slowly giving his answer.
"Let us old men not interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. This old man believes that Little Xue will handle it herself."
"Since the Tang Sect is not a subsidiary force of the Clear Sky Sect, but an independent Sect with sovereign authority, and furthermore, they are not particularly hostile towards the Clear Sky Sect."
"In that case, we don't need to step in and interfere with anything."
There was one thing Qian Daoliu understood clearly.
Since Bibi Dong ascended to the position of Pope, the Spirit Hall seemed to have gradually become a public enemy of the continent.
Although this situation had already begun to show signs during Qian Xunji's reign, it would absolutely not be as explosive as it was now.
As the High Priest, he should have intervened, but the heart-palpitating Evil God Qi emanating from her from time to time made him hesitant to act rashly.
Given Bibi Dong's talent, Qian Daoliu wasn't surprised that she would obtain a Divinity's Legacy.
In his mind, the most ideal scenario was for Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue to reconcile. At that time, their Spirit Hall would possess dual Gods, which would naturally allow them to reach a higher level.
Regarding the past events, although their Qian Family had wronged Bibi Dong to some extent, in Qian Daoliu's view, when Qian Renxue eventually became a God, he would sacrifice his own life to help her open the door to her Legacy. At that point, the entire Angel Qian Family would only have Qian Renxue left.
He felt that Bibi Dong's hatred in her heart would then dissipate with the wind.
This was also why he turned a blind eye to the many changes occurring within the Spirit Hall, choosing instead to spend his days in the Hall of Worship serving the Angel God.
As for Jiang Li, Qian Daoliu also saw the possibility of him becoming a Divinity in that person.
Out of his selfish desire as a grandfather, he still hoped that his Granddaughter truly had someone capable by her side.
The talent of both Jiang Li and that kid named Tang San was indeed excellent; one could become a Titled Douluo and the other a Soul King at such a young age.
Even if there was a possibility of achieving Godhood, becoming a true Divinity was never a simple matter, was it?
Not to mention whether they could find a suitable God Position for the Legacy, just relying on the foundation of their Spirit Hall, he was confident enough to ensure his Granddaughter became the Angel God ahead of them, thus restoring the glory of their ancestral Divinity.
If that happened, none of the current issues would be problems anymore.
"High Priest, what are your thoughts on Bibi Dong's proposal to make Hu Liena the Holy Maiden?"
"And her suggestion to hand over several pieces of Soul Bone from the inventory to that so-called Golden Generation?"
"Should we reject these proposals?"
The person who spoke was the third-ranked Douluo among the Enshrined, Qingluan Douluo, who possessed a cultivation of level 97.
As soon as these words were spoken, Gold Crocodile Douluo was the first to retort, "This old man thinks that woman is becoming more and more presumptuous. The position of Holy Maiden in our Spirit Hall can only belong to the Young Miss, and similarly, the future of the Spirit Hall can only be handed over to the Young Miss."
"And those three little whelps want Soul Bones without having achieved any merit?"
"They are simply dreaming!"
The other old men also chimed in in agreement.
As Enshrined Elders loyal to the Angel Family, they naturally did not lack Soul Bones, but this did not mean they were willing to watch Bibi Dong recklessly squander the wealth of the Spirit Hall to cultivate her direct lineage and win over support.
In response, Qian Daoliu's attitude was neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"If their The Pope's Palace is willing to let that girl named Hu Liena play around, let them."
"Without the approval of our Hall of Worship, she won't be able to secure that Holy Maiden position."
"When Little Xue returns, if she wants it, she can take it back herself."
Just then, Qian Daoliu seemed to recall something, "Second Brother, go tell Bibi Dong that if she wants her disciple to become this Holy Maiden, or to bestow those three Soul Bones, then she must have her disciple achieve good results in the upcoming All-Continent Soul Master Elite Tournament."
"Otherwise, all these matters are off the table."
Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded and left, "I understand, Elder Brother."
...
Meanwhile, in the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City.
Tang Xiao, having rushed over overnight, finally arrived at his little sister's territory.
After a brief reunion, Tang Xiao began to inquire about Tang Hao and the Tang Sect.
"Alas, Elder Brother, my people should have delivered the message to Second Brother."
"However, when we located Second Brother's whereabouts, he was near the border of the Star Luo Empire. It will probably take some time for him to rush back."
"As for the Tang Sect, they are completely ironclad right now; our people have no way to gather any information."
Seeing this, Tang Xiao gave up the idea of scouting ahead prematurely, lest he cause further complications.
The relationship between their Clear Sky Sect and the Tang Sect was currently so volatile that a single touch could cause an explosion. His Seventh Uncle had killed the Tang Sect's Elder Tai Tan, and similarly, their Clear Sky Sect had also lost an Elder. If they misspoke upon meeting, a fight would inevitably break out.
"Sigh, forget it. Everything waits until Brother Hao returns."
