Douluo: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 29 The World's No. 1 Artifact Soul

Before I knew it, the whole month of January had passed, and the weather in August was still hot.

Just as Qian Daoliu said, Ye Jingqiu's body has recovered, but there is a mark left by lightning on her chest.

Like the slender branches of a tree, the pale blue marks left very obvious marks on the jade-like skin.

When Chunshui was holding Ye Jingqiu's skirt, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the scar on her chest. "Miss, I'll ask the doctor to get you the best scar removal medicine. It will definitely not leave any scars on your body."

Ye Jingqiu glanced casually in the mirror and said nonchalantly, "Don't bother, it's no big deal."

After a pause she said, "Where is the chief worshipper?"

"Miss, just change your clothes and follow me."

A month has passed since she was injured and taken back to the offering hall by the chief priest. Except for the beginning when the chief priest asked her if she was willing to stay in the offering hall, the two have never met again.

Early this morning, Qian Daoliu sent someone to look for Ye Jingqiu and asked her to go to him early.

Ye Jingqiu didn't dare to waste time. After simply packing up, he followed Chunshui to find Qian Daoliu.

Perhaps it was because Qian Daoliu was a level ninety-nine peerless Douluo, one of the best soul masters in Douluo Continent, that Ye Jingqiu felt inexplicably nervous at this moment.

Outside the hall, Ye Jingqiu took a deep breath and then followed Chunshui.

In the center of the hall, Qian Daoliu, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, had his back to him, and his bony hands were tending to the flowers and plants in front of him.

Ye Jingqiu was slightly stunned, then said, "Great Priest, I..."

Before Ye Jingqiu could finish, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, "Saintess——"

Ye Jingqiu was a little surprised, "Uncle Ju, Uncle Gui?"

Yue Guan nodded slightly, his eyes full of worry. He checked Ye Jingqiu from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.

"His Holiness the Pope is very worried about you, but because there are important matters to attend to in the Spirit Hall, he asked the two of us to come and see you first."

Ye Jingqiu nodded vigorously, "Auntie, are you okay?"

Gui Mei said, "Don't worry, everything is peaceful in the Spirit Hall, and His Holiness the Pope is doing well."

"What about Grandma Li?" Ye Jingqiu looked at the ghost with a worried look on his face.

Gui Mei hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Yue Guan spoke first, "Grandma Li is doing well. Don't worry, stay here and practice well with the chief priest. The academy has also requested a long vacation for you."

He took advantage of Ye Jingqiu's inattention and tugged at Gui Mei's clothes. "We just came to see you and make sure you've recovered. The mission His Holiness the Pope gave us is now complete. We'll be leaving now."

After saying this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei turned around and saluted respectfully towards Qian Dao Liu, saying, "We will not bother you any more, Great Lord."

Qian Daoliu didn't seem to care and just waved his hand casually, but his attention seemed to be entirely on the pot of flowers in his hand.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei's movements were so smooth that they gave Ye Jingqiu no time to react. As they passed by, they nodded at her and then left quickly.

By the time Ye Jingqiu reacted, she and Qian Daoliu were the only ones left in the room.

A full half hour passed as Qian Daoliu fiddled with the flowers, seemingly oblivious to Ye Jingqiu's presence. Ye Jingqiu showed no sign of worry. Her gaze fell on Qian Daoliu's hands. Under the sunlight, his skin looked even whiter than jade. His hands, with distinct bones, held a pair of scissors, pruning branches.

Ye Jingqiu looked at it and was stunned for a moment.

Qian Daoliu turned around. She was wearing a light blue long dress that reached her ankles today. She had black hair, golden eyes, and an oval face. She looked very soft and not aggressive at all.

But her clear eyes were always fixed on his hands. Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. She looked harmless, but she didn't look like the next Pope of the Spirit Hall at all.

It wasn't until Qian Daoliu put his hands behind his back that Ye Jingqiu slowly came back to her senses. She was startled and her ears instantly turned red. "Great Offering."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, "Are you a control-type soul master?"

Ye Jingqiu nodded.

"Your martial spirit is the Soul-Catching Bell. Do you know anything about the Soul-Catching Bell being a martial spirit?"

Ye Jingqiu shook his head. "I heard that my father's martial spirit was the Soul-Snatching Bell, but he died before I was born. Over the years, I have searched for someone with the same martial spirit as me, but I still haven't found one."

"I don't know much about the Soul-Snatching Bell. It was His Holiness the Pope who told me to become a Control-type Soul Master." Ye Jingqiu smiled bitterly. "When I was in the academy, I encountered many top-level Martial Spirits. Compared to their Martial Spirits, the Soul-Snatching Bell is really not worth mentioning."

Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Jingqiu thoughtfully, "It seems your aunt didn't tell you."

Ye Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Qian Daoliu, his eyes full of confusion, "What does this mean, High Priest?"

"Do you know what the world's number one weapon spirit is?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu secretly glanced at Qian Daoliu, not knowing whether he should continue talking.

She had once heard Yue Guan talk about the past of the Spirit Hall and the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, who was also her aunt's teacher, Qian Xunji.

He was killed by Tang Hao, Haotian Douluo, a disciple of the Haotian Sect who possessed the world's number one artifact soul and the youngest Titled Douluo in the history of Douluo Continent.

And the world's number one artifact soul is the Haotian Hammer of the Haotian Sect.

The deceased former Pope Qian Xunji was the son of Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "As your current teacher, I want to tell you that I don't want to say the same thing twice."

Although Qian Daoliu's tone was steady, Ye Jingqiu still felt a little cold for some reason. She quickly said, "I understand, Great Priest."

After a pause, she said, "The number one artifact soul in the world is the Haotian Hammer of the Haotian Sect." After saying that, she kept secretly observing Qian Daoliu's expression.

Ye Jingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that his expression didn't change at all.

Qian Daoliu said calmly, "Everyone knows about the Haotian Sect, but they don't know about your Soul-Capture Bell."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu was stunned, and then looked at Qian Daoliu in disbelief. It seemed that he meant that this Soul-Catching Bell was not an ordinary martial spirit?

"There are seven major sects in Douluo Continent, and the top three are the Haotian Sect, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect."

"Among them, the Clear Sky Sect possesses the world's number one weapon spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer; the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect possesses the world's number one auxiliary spirit, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Tower; and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect possesses the world's number one beast spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex."
