Arriving at the Hall of Worship, and seeing the familiar tall old man, Qian Renxue, who was always strong, finally couldn't help but reveal her weak side, saying with a hint of a sob, "Grandpa, I failed."
Qian Daoliu smiled gently, "It's okay, Xue'er. People always grow through setbacks. A temporary failure doesn't mean anything. This war is a rare experience in your life, a good training."
"Grandpa, I regret it, regret not listening to your advice, not focusing my energy on soul power cultivation, but instead engaging in political tactics and conspiracies," Qian Renxue said sincerely.
Qian Daoliu smiled, "It's not too late to wake up now. At your current age, being close to level 80 is already much better than I expected... It's precisely because your soul power progress hasn't fallen behind that I let you be and didn't force you.
"But now that you've woken up, stay here and cultivate in peace. The glory of the Angel Clan will eventually be passed on to you. The mere secular throne is nothing.
"You should adjust your mentality first. After a while, I will show you the true inheritance of our clan... That is the ultimate pursuit of a soul master."
"Yes," Qian Renxue nodded, then she said, "Grandpa, the reason I failed is because Xue Beng used the power of the Clear Sky Sect. They have violated their promise of not leaving the sect and have come out again.
"The direct cause of my failure was Tang Hao's intervention. He has already broken through to the Super Douluo level. Uncle She Long and Uncle Ci Xue are no match for him."
She thought Qian Daoliu would be angry when he heard the news about Tang Hao, but she was surprised to find that he just nodded calmly and said, "I know."
"But Grandpa, why? He is the murderer who killed my father," Qian Renxue couldn't help but say.
"Are you asking why I'm not avenging Ji'er?"
Qian Renxue nodded.
Qian Daoliu sighed, "It's time to let you know the truth of what happened back then..."
Qian Daoliu didn't actually have much hatred for Tang Hao.
He and Tang Chen were friends when they were young, and they even explored Seagod Island together. This friendship still exists in his heart.
His son went to hunt down Tang Chen's grandson's wife, but was seriously injured instead. He only felt ashamed.
If Tang Hao had killed Qian Xunji, he might have had hatred, but if it was just a serious injury, Qian Daoliu didn't mind much. After all, his old friend's grandson was acting in self-defense, and such behavior was blameless.
The one who truly killed Qian Xunji was Bibi Dong. Her reason for killing Qian Xunji was even more unimpeachable, and she was Qian Renxue's mother.
Therefore, although Qian Daoliu felt angry about his son's death, he didn't know who to vent his anger on... The root cause of all this was Qian Xunji's dark methods, which were self-inflicted.
Even if he was a level 99 Limit Douluo, a peerless expert close to godhood, in this situation, he could only be a lonely, grieving old man.
"Actually, Tang Hao is not your real father-killing enemy. Although he seriously injured your father, it was not incurable... The one who killed him was actually Bibi Dong... your mother."
"What? Big Sister?" Qian Renxue's face showed a look of astonishment, "She killed my father too?"
Qian Daoliu said with a tone of helplessness and regret, "Back then, your father used some dark methods to forcibly keep your mother by his side. This was his mistake, and it was my mistake for not guiding him to the right path."
Qian Daoliu told Qian Renxue the truth of what happened back then in detail.
"You shouldn't resent your mother. If possible, I hope you can reconcile. After all, blood is thicker than water, and there is an unbreakable connection between you."
Qian Renxue's eyes were a little confused, and various thoughts intertwined in her heart. She suddenly understood Bibi Dong's attitude towards her.
"No wonder Big Sister has such an attitude towards me, no wonder she always ignores me..." Qian Renxue murmured.
She felt a little aggrieved. She had clearly done nothing wrong, but she was met with the disgust of her biological mother, but the reason for the other party's disgust was so sufficient, so appropriate... Her birth seemed to be a mistake.
Looking at Qian Renxue like this, Qian Daoliu shook his head and walked out of the hall:
"Xue'er, you should be alone for a while. No matter what choice you make, Grandpa will support you. Only when you have thought it through and overcome your inner demons will you be qualified to accept the inheritance of our clan."
...
Night Capital, Yan Jin, with a steamed bun in her mouth, came to the city wall and leaned against the battlements, eating the bun in two or three bites, staring at the Star Luo Empire's military camp in the distance.
"Ah... how boring, I want to beat someone up, why haven't they come yet? Someone come and let me move my body..." She swayed her feet and muttered in a low voice.
A group of Heaven Dou Empire soldiers quietly surrounded her. They were all elites in the army, soul masters who served as the backbone!
Several high-ranking generals looked at each other, nodded, and quietly walked towards Yan Jin.
"Huh? What are you doing here? Is something the matter?" Yan Jin tilted her head and looked at them.
She looked at the fully armed soldiers again and slapped her head, "I understand, you are going to raid, right? Take me with you, ehehehe... it must be fun."
The generals did not answer her.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take down this traitor of the empire!" a man in civil official attire shouted sternly.
"Take me down? Me?" Yan Jin pointed at herself with her index finger, a look of confusion on her face, "But shouldn't I be the boss here now?"
"Miss Yan Jin, please surrender. His Majesty Xue Beng has ordered that Duke Amon be declared a criminal, and you and Lord Lei Yin are his accomplices... Please don't resist stubbornly. There are hundreds of thousands of troops in this city. No matter how strong you are, you can't fight so many people alone," a general advised.
He emphasized "in the city" and frantically winked at Yan Jin, constantly looking outside the city wall, which was to remind her to run away quickly.
The other generals also understood his actions, knowing that he seemed to be persuading her to surrender, but was actually reminding Yan Jin of her current situation, so that she wouldn't be completely in the dark.
Yan Jin's prestige in the army was not low. If possible, they didn't want to be enemies with her.
Seeing his wink and understanding his intention, Yan Jin still chose to refuse.
When she was weak, she needed to act according to other people's expressions. Now that she was strong, she still needed to act according to other people's expressions. Then wouldn't her soul power have been improved in vain?
One of her motivations for becoming stronger was to no longer have to compromise or give in to others.
The mere order of a Xue Beng did not require her to give in.
Yan Jin suddenly showed a bright smile, as brilliant as the sunshine, and as moving as a blooming summer flower:
"Although I haven't figured it all out, that doesn't matter. Since you want to fight, then come and fight. Don't blame me if you lose your lives."
Magma ignited in her hand. The flowing red liquid burned the air, causing the surrounding temperature to rise sharply.
Feeling this familiar scorching aura, the generals leading the team all showed helpless expressions. How reassuring this female warrior in the army was as a teammate in the past, how terrifying she became as an enemy.
I wonder how many soldiers' lives it will take to subdue her... a general thought silently in his heart.
"What are you doing? So many people can't beat one woman? Hurry up and catch her, or I'll accuse you of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country," the envoy sent by Xue Beng said commandingly.
His attitude made many soldiers grit their teeth in hatred.
In front of Yan Jin, ordinary soldiers were like paper, and almost no one could make her throw a second punch.
She also noticed this guy who looked particularly different and walked towards him.
"Hey, stop her, stop her..." the envoy panicked.
The soldiers showed a hint of pleasure on their faces. Not only did they not stop her, but they also tacitly made way for her.
Yan Jin came to the envoy's side without any obstruction and grabbed his neck... Soon, the envoy was roasted into a charred corpse, emitting bursts of meaty aroma.
A general waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to stop: "Miss Yan Jin, you should leave. You can pack up anything you want to take away, we won't stop you."
Yan Jin tilted her head, "Why? You should be the ones to leave... It's not like I can't beat you."
The thinking of the two sides was not on the same channel at all. The generals still had the idea of loyalty to the emperor and love for the country, and believed that the emperor's orders should be obeyed.
They felt that their side was the strong side, and letting Yan Jin leave was already their greatest kindness to this former colleague.
But Yan Jin didn't care about the emperor or anything. Who was Xue Beng? If they wanted her to leave, then they should fight it out and let fate decide!
Outside Night Capital, looking at the red halo shining on the city wall, Dai Chenghua sat on a tall dragon horse, with a faint smile on his face:
"It seems that the Tudor Territory, no, the Blue Dragon Territory will soon return to the embrace of our Star Luo Empire."
Wei Zhaowu complimented, "Subduing the enemy without fighting... all thanks to the wise planning of His Majesty and the officials in the court. If I were to attack, I'm afraid I don't know how many warriors would fall under that city wall."
"Haha, how can you also say flattering words? This is not your style."
"I'm just telling the truth," Wei Zhaowu said calmly.
