Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 525: Trip to Longxing City (Part 525)
The last trouble was solved, and Dioran called on everyone to start their journey. There was no change in the first half of the journey, and they all set off along the main road towards Longxing City. In the second half, they temporarily changed their route to some short-distance roads.

"Dear soul masters, please continue to explore the way. I will calculate the most suitable road so that we can reach Longxing City as soon as possible." Dioran held the map sent by Bai Chenxiang and others in his hand and began to study which road was suitable.

The other soul masters didn't say anything. After all, this was their employer, so they continued to inquire into the distance. In order to prevent any accidents, Qian Renxue also followed Bai Chenxiang to inquire forward.

"There is actually a canyon here. It seems we have to take a detour." Bai Chenxiang encountered an obstacle in his way forward, so he marked the place and then returned.

"Dear soul masters, how is the investigation going?" Dioran took the topographic map they drew and immediately looked worried.

"A canyon blocked the road ahead. We had no choice but to take a detour. According to calculations, this detour would take at least seven more days."

"Yeah, that's expected." Dioran stared at the map for a long time. He chose to seek the help of the soul master just to take a road that other merchants had not taken. He also inquired in advance that there was a road in the canyon that could be used to cross.

"We can go straight through the canyon. In this case, we can save seven days!"

"Take the mountain road? It should be possible, but the environment in the mountains is complicated. If soul beasts attack, the goods are likely to be damaged." The soul masters also expressed their opinions, but Dioran paid the money to ensure the safety of the goods, otherwise he would not have hired soul masters.

"We have so many soul masters here, and you are all at the Soul King level. Even if you encounter a ten thousand year soul beast, you can easily repel it. There is nothing to worry about."

Otherwise why would I spend so much money to hire you!

Since the employer has decided to cross the canyon, the soul masters naturally have no way to raise any objections. Their task is to be responsible for the safety of the goods and business travelers.

"Okay, let's go. From now on, we may have to camp in the wild." Dioran set up the carriage and urged the merchants to set off. The current situation was that he had to race against time to get to Longxing City.

"Camping in the wild..." Bai Chenxiang curled her lips, but when she looked at Qian Renxue, she showed a strange smile. This pampered young lady must have never had the experience of camping in the wild, let alone this situation.

Qian Renxue did not attract the attention of other soul masters in the caravan. They only followed her because they knew she was a friend of the beautiful girl.

Before dark, the caravan went deep into the canyon. Although the people did not feel tired, the horses did need rest. After surveying the terrain, Bai Chenxiang and others chose the best camping site.

The surroundings are very open, so they can discover soul beasts or wild beasts attacking them in advance, and there is also a big tree, which provides a wider field of vision for the sentinels.

The tents were already set up, and Bai Chenxiang sat in the tent, looking at Qian Renxue who was meditating with a strange look on her face. "Are you just going to meditate all night?"

"What else?" Qian Renxue opened her eyes and felt very strange. Bai Chenxiang neither rested nor meditated. Was she not planning to surpass herself?
"Uh..." Bai Chenxiang was somewhat convinced. Now she understood why Qian Renxue was so dazzling, diligent and hardworking. Yes, she would not be bothered by trivial matters. As long as she concentrated on practicing every day, her childhood was probably the same as today, with nothing but practice.

What's more, she is surrounded by almost all the top people in the continent. All the people she meets are Titled Douluo, who have surpassed their peers at a young age. In that kind of environment, the pressure must be very high.

For some reason, Bai Chenxiang felt a sense of sympathy for Qian Renxue. Her life might not be as happy as she imagined. Although she was the apple of everyone's eye, she also had to work much harder than others.

"In fact, a combination of work and rest is beneficial to cultivation. Blindly pursuing level-up may be counterproductive and slow progress. It's better to go out for some fresh air. Anyway, it's my turn to keep watch soon, so why don't you come out and keep me company?"

Bai Chenxiang was somewhat expectant. She really wanted to know what Qian Renxue's past was like. Perhaps today was an opportunity, or perhaps it was the only chance to contact her.

"Okay." Qian Renxue and Bai Chenxiang left the tent. Yes, her cultivation seemed to have stagnated again. She had clearly broken through the threshold of Soul Douluo by absorbing the Crown of Stars, but now she seemed to be stuck at the threshold of Titled Douluo. Her cultivation could not be said to be very slow, but it could be said that there was no movement at all.

The two came to a big tree. Bai Chenxiang looked at the sky full of stars and began to reveal her feelings: "I remember when I was very young, I was playing with other children. Every time they were taken home by their parents, I was very envious. When I went home and asked my grandfather about my parents, he always shook his head and sighed. Although my grandfather never told me, I already had a premonition that my parents were gone."

"Later, my family moved several times, and my childhood friends drifted away. Since my family had no money, I couldn't afford to go to those noble soul master schools. I could only grow up gradually under the training of my family, but I don't feel any regrets. I once sneaked into those soul master academies. My peers, even the combat soul masters, were not as good as me. I once thought that the so-called genius was just like this."

"Your parents..." Qian Renxue was also attracted by what Bai Chenxiang said. Could it be that Bai Chenxiang's parents...

"You know it all in your heart, don't you? My parents died in the confrontation with the Spirit Hall and the Haotian Sect. I don't even have any impression of their faces." Bai Chenxiang looked at the starry sky, and the pain in his heart gradually grew stronger.

"I'm sorry." Qian Renxue lowered her eyes. Losing parents at a very young age was undoubtedly a huge blow to a child, and this lack of love would affect her entire life. Because of this, her life trajectory gradually shifted.

"In the past, I hated the Spirit Hall very much. I hated it for taking away my parents, for making my family fall into such a state, and for making my grandfather live in grief all day long, and for having to work hard to cheer up and run around for the family."

Bai Chenxiang observed Qian Renxue's condition and found that her eyes were full of guilt and her body was extremely unnatural. Seeing this, Bai Chenxiang gently placed his hand on her wrist.

“Compared to the Spirit Hall, I hate the Clear Sky Sect just as much. It was they who abandoned us and put us in danger. After receiving the news that the Spirit Hall was attacking the Clear Sky Sect, our family quickly went out to assist the Clear Sky Sect in fighting the Spirit Hall. However, we didn’t expect that when we arrived at the Clear Sky Sect, they had already left. And it was our four major single-attribute families that bore the wrath of the Spirit Hall.”
