Just after lunch, she pulled Ye Tian onto the bed to rest for a moment.
That afternoon, Bi Bi Dong immediately put the plan Ye Tian had given her into action.
She went to the Papal Hall and, after receiving approval from the Sixth Elder, Demon-Abasing Douluo, she secretly left Spirit Hall City with three elders.
They headed for Death Canyon at the fastest possible speed!
Meanwhile, the entire Soul Master Realm was watching.
Within the Clear Sky School's sphere of influence, Spirit Hall's surprise attack could be called a resounding victory.
The Clear Sky School's subordinate forces, the Four Single-Attribute Clans, had long been in steady retreat.
After leaving behind the bodies of many of their clansmen, they finally fell back to the defensive line established under the Clear Sky School's leadership.
For a time, the difficulty for Spirit Hall to advance increased sharply, leading to a brief stalemate.
The ultimatum to hand over Tang Hao within three days had been issued.
Once the time was up, what the Clear Sky School would face was a full-scale assault from the concentrated forces of Spirit Hall!
Everyone knew that the Clear Sky School's odds were grim this time.
Defeat was only a matter of time.
The next day, at noon.
After finishing lunch and bidding farewell to Hu Liena, Ye Tian arrived at the vicinity of the sand pile.
From a distance, Ye Tian saw Qian Renxue's figure, looking on with eager anticipation.
Looking at her now, Qian Renxue's complexion was much better than yesterday.
Perhaps because she was about to go out, or perhaps to hide her sorrow, she, who usually wore no makeup, had applied a light touch of rouge to her face.
It enhanced her beauty without appearing gaudy—it was just right.
Jin Yue'er was squatting at Qian Renxue's feet.
Like a child, she played with the fine sand, occasionally looking around.
When she saw Ye Tian's figure, Jin Yue'er immediately stood up, tiptoed, and waved, shouting loudly:
"Haha... Ye Tian! Hurry up!"
"Yes, right away!"
Ye Tian smiled, not daring to delay.
He immediately broke into a run.
Of course, it wasn't because of Jin Yue'er's influence, but because the person standing beside them deserved his attention and respect.
That person stood beside a carriage, dressed in a golden robe. He was clearly an elder from the Hall of Worship!
His unique, old, and steady disposition was enough for Ye Tian to guess his rank within the Hall of Worship.
Ye Tian hadn't expected that for Qian Renxue's trip, Qian Daoliu would actually dispatch this heavyweight.
Coming closer, Ye Tian ignored Jin Yue'er and the other girl, instead bowing directly to the sturdy figure.
"Junior Ye Tian pays his respects to His Eminence, the Golden Crocodile!"
"It seems Little Xue and Yue'er did not exaggerate. You are indeed exceedingly intelligent."
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the brat before him, his eyes filled with praise.
He and Ye Tian had never met before.
But with just one look, Ye Tian had recognized his identity.
"Your Eminence overpraises me."
"Your attire and disposition are rare in Spirit Hall City to begin with," Ye Tian said with a humble expression and a calm tone.
"What I'm talking about is more than just that. Your Soul Skills, your Spirit Rings... they are all things that leave us old fellows speechless with praise. You are the only one in the entire Soul Master Realm who can achieve such a feat."
Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head, his eyes holding undisguised admiration.
They lived in seclusion.
The Haotian Twin Stars, who were lauded as gods in the Soul Master Realm, were nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs in their eyes.
Before Qian Xunji's incident, they had never given them a second glance.
As for Bi Bi Dong with her Twin Spirits and Innate Full Spirit Power, and Qian Renxue with her innate twenty levels of Soul Power, they had only managed to slightly astonish them...
Only Ye Tian made them marvel from the bottom of their hearts at this young man's monstrous talent!
This honor was absolutely unique in the entire Soul Master Realm!
"Speaking of which, I have yet to thank you in person for saving my life."
"Your Eminence is too serious. This junior has long since received your thanks and gifts; there is no need for more. As for my achievements in cultivation, that is merely a matter of luck."
The moment Ye Tian's words fell, Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Haha... Good! A fine 'matter of luck'!"
Jin E stared at Ye Tian.
If not for the fact that the other party already had a teacher and was a Food-type Soul Master, he would have offered to take him as a disciple.
Jin E couldn't help but tease with a smile:
"Excessive humility is just another form of pride."
"Even if it is luck, it still requires you to have the courage to gamble!"
Hearing this, Ye Tian wore a smile and said composedly, "Senior is right. This junior has been taught a lesson."
"Taught a lesson, taught a lesson!"
Suddenly, an extremely perfunctory voice sounded between the two. Jin Yue'er pushed at Golden Crocodile Douluo, saying impatiently:
"Grandpa, you two stop talking for now!"
Jin Yue'er placed her hands on her hips and looked up at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
She glared and said fiercely, "Sister Xue and I are bored to death standing here. When can we finally leave?"
After she spoke, Jin Yue'er turned her head and shot another fierce glare at Ye Tian.
"..."
Ye Tian spread his hands.
As a junior, he couldn't just ignore an elder who was speaking to him, could he?
Seeing this scene, a hint of amusement colored Qian Renxue's somewhat weary eyes.
However, she was quite pleased to hear Golden Crocodile Douluo's praise for Ye Tian and didn't think it was nonsense at all.
On the contrary, she felt a faint sense of joy...
She looked forward to the day when Qian Daoliu could also acknowledge Ye Tian like this to his face.
"Uh, haha."
Facing his granddaughter, Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled benevolently.
"Alright, then this old man won't say any more."
"As for when to depart, that's for you all to discuss. Grandpa is just your guard."
After speaking, Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Ye Tian again, his eyes filled with expectation.
"In any case, I have high hopes for you!"
"Thank you for your high regard, Your Eminence. Ye Tian will definitely not disappoint."
Ye Tian nodded slightly, giving his assurance.
"Hmph! What a pain~"
Jin Yue'er pouted, then immediately adopted a sycophantic look, sidling up to Qian Renxue and asking with a grin:
"Sister Xue, when are we leaving?"
"I don't know either."
Qian Renxue shook her head, turning her gaze to Ye Tian and asking in a gentle voice:
"Ye Tian, where are we going?"
"Heaven Dou City!"
Ye Tian looked at Qian Renxue and blurted out the name.
"Heaven Dou City?"
"Yes. Let's get on the road first. We can talk about the rest on the way."
"No problem!"
Qian Renxue nodded emphatically and immediately stepped forward to grab Ye Tian's wrist.
"Then let's set off now!"
"Great! We're finally leaving! Get in the carriage, get in the carriage!"
Jin Yue'er danced with excitement.
Without a doubt, just like Ye Tian, she had never been on a long journey except for a Soul Hunt.
Golden Crocodile Douluo stood to the side, watching the three children before him. He could naturally see that Ye Tian was the one in charge.
Even Qian Renxue had extreme faith in Ye Tian.
Regarding this, Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't interfere. Instead, his appreciation for Ye Tian grew even stronger.
His talent and character were both the best of the best
