After Qian Daoliu took a few glances at the Slaughter Sword, he withdrew his gaze and asked, "Ye Xi, did the Angel God give you any instructions?"
"Or say anything else?"
A smile was on Qian Daoliu's face, and his voice was full of gentleness.
"Grandfather, the Angel God only mentioned the name of this sword and that it is a Super Divine Artifact; she didn't say anything else."
Ye Xi thought for a moment before answering earnestly.
"Hmm, then let's head back first."
Qian Daoliu nodded gently and didn't ask any further questions; instead, he led Qian Renxue and Ye Xi toward the outside of the Angel Secret Realm.
"Ye Xi, that Divinity who asked you to go to Slaughter City in the future has likely listed you as a candidate for their Legacy."
"As long as you Cultivate well in the future, it is very possible for you to become a true successor of a Divinity."
"Grandfather hopes very much to see the day you both become Divinities."
Qian Daoliu said as he walked forward.
"Grandfather, I will definitely Cultivate hard in the future."
Listening to Qian Daoliu's exhortations, Ye Xi nodded earnestly and answered very seriously.
"Grandfather, although I have little time to Cultivate in the Heaven Dou Empire, I will definitely work hard."
Qian Renxue answered earnestly and reached out to take Ye Xi's hand.
Hearing Qian Renxue and Ye Xi's answers, Qian Daoliu nodded with great satisfaction.
After leaving the Angel Secret Realm, Qian Daoliu led Qian Renxue and Ye Xi walking through the empty Douluo Hall, his gaze occasionally looking toward the two sides of the Douluo Hall.
"Grandfather, what are you looking at?"
Qian Renxue watched Qian Daoliu's actions and asked softly with some confusion.
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face; he reached out and pointed to the position closest to the angel statue, saying, "Xue'er, Ye Xi, those who can be buried in the Douluo Hall are all people who have made great contributions to the continent."
"The closer to the angel statue, the greater the contribution made."
"If you both can become Divinities in the future, then with the contribution of nurturing two Divinities, I can be buried in the position closest to the Angel God in the future."
While speaking, Qian Daoliu gestured for Qian Renxue and Ye Xi to look in the direction he was pointing.
After Qian Renxue and Ye Xi looked toward the place Qian Daoliu pointed, their expressions became somewhat strange.
It wasn't that the place Qian Daoliu pointed to was wrong, but rather that Qian Renxue and Ye Xi felt, as a ninety-nine-level Limit Douluo, why was Qian Daoliu already choosing his own burial site now?
But the expressions on Qian Renxue and Ye Xi's faces quickly returned to normal, and they didn't speak to continue Qian Daoliu's topic.
"Grandfather, is my father also buried in the Douluo Hall?"
Qian Renxue seemed to have thought of something and asked with some anticipation.
Hearing Qian Renxue's question, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.
"Your father?"
"He is not in the Douluo Hall; with his contributions, he is not qualified to be buried in the Douluo Hall."
Qian Daoliu answered very earnestly; although Qian Xunji was his son, what he said was the truth.
Based on the contributions Qian Xunji made, let alone being buried in the Douluo Hall, he couldn't even reach the threshold of the Douluo Hall.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression became visibly disappointed, and she didn't speak again.
Ye Xi tightened her grip on Qian Renxue's hand to show comfort.
"Alright."
"Xue'er, I will take you to pay respects to your father tomorrow morning."
"You and Ye Xi should go back and rest first."
Qian Daoliu looked at the appearance of Qian Renxue and Ye Xi, and a kind smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hmm, Grandfather, then we will head back first."
After Qian Renxue agreed, she and Ye Xi walked toward their respective rooms.
Watching the backs of the two leaving, Qian Daoliu felt that his mood was better than ever before.
His eldest granddaughter is the successor of the Angel God.
His younger granddaughter is a candidate for the successor of the Asura God.
Others' highest pursuit is something like having two Douluo in one family, but their Qian family is different; they are an existence that could potentially have two Divinities in one family.
Until the figures of Qian Renxue and Ye Xi disappeared, Qian Daoliu then walked toward his own room with his hands behind his back.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
In the antique room, Ye Xi sat on the soft and comfortable large bed, holding the Slaughter Sword in her hand, her eyes full of contemplation.
"What did the Angel God's words mean?"
"What does 'returning to the original owner' mean?"
"Could it be that the Angel God has seen me before?"
Ye Xi thought secretly in her heart, her gaze quietly examining the Slaughter Sword in her hand.
After a while, Ye Xi, who couldn't figure it out, simply stopped thinking about it; instead, she put away the Slaughter Sword, leaned back, and lay directly on the soft and comfortable large bed.
Ye Xi's azure blue eyes gradually closed, and she soon entered dreamland.
The next day, early morning.
Qian Renxue and Ye Xi walked out of their rooms early and followed Qian Daoliu toward the place where Qian Xunji's tombstone was located.
Under Qian Daoliu's lead, the group left Spirit City and arrived at a scenic forest.
Qian Renxue and Ye Xi, holding hands, followed behind Qian Daoliu, walking toward the depths of the forest.
Soon, an open area appeared in front of the group; directly in front of them was a grave mound with a tombstone. On the tombstone, only the simple characters "Qian Xunji" were carved. The area around the grave was overgrown with weeds; it was obvious that no one had come to pay respects for a long time.
"Grandfather, this..."
Qian Renxue looked at the tombstone in front of her, surprise appearing in her eyes.
She had never imagined that the area around her father's tombstone would be like this; the weeds were already over a meter high.
"Xue'er, I haven't really left the Hall of Offerings much over these years, so there hasn't been anyone coming to pay respects to your father."
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Xunji's tombstone, a touch of emotion appearing in his eyes.
Looking at Qian Xunji's tombstone, Ye Xi walked straight up and began to clear the surrounding weeds.
Seeing Ye Xi's actions, Qian Renxue didn't hesitate at all; she also walked up and began to clear the surrounding weeds.
After about ten minutes, the surrounding weeds were completely cleared away, and the entire tombstone looked brand new, completely different from when they first arrived.
Qian Daoliu sat down in front of Qian Xunji's tombstone and said with some emotion, "Look, this is Xue'er, and Ye Xi."
"Both of these sisters can be said to be chosen by Divinities; it is a pity that you cannot see the day they become Divinities..."
Qian Daoliu was muttering to himself.
Qian Renxue looked at her father's tombstone, the expression in her eyes very complex, and she softly recounted the story of Tang Hao's fall and avenging him.
