Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 167 Stop losses in time
……

"Grandpa, I just..."

Qian Renxue trembled at Qian Daoliu's word "stupid" and his stern rebuke when he mentioned her father, and lowered her head even further.

"Don't explain," Qian Daoliu interrupted.

"What are you thinking? Do you really think I can't tell?"

"You've always treated Xuanming as a pawn in your competition with Bibi Dong to show off!"

"But because you felt that Bibi Dong could easily gain Xuan Ming's trust, and Hu Liena could easily get close to that kid, you became jealous and angry!"

"You disagree!"

"So even if you know your method is wrong, even if She Long reminds you and advises you again and again, you are unwilling to change and would rather continue to make the same mistake!"

Qian Renxue is very smart. Her stupidity in this matter was not because she didn't know what to do, but because she wanted to win.

She wanted to win, so she didn't care whether her actions would hurt Xuanming.

As a result, the relationship between the two became increasingly strained!

It's not even as good as it was back in Wuhun City!

Qian Renxue bit her lip. "Grandpa, what should I do now? I've already ruined the relationship like this."

Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and slowly walked to the chair and sat down. "She Long has advised you so many times, but you still wouldn't change. What's the use of asking me now?"

"Will you change if I tell you?"

Qian Renxue lowered her head even further, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her clothes until her knuckles turned white. "Grandpa, I... I will change, as long as you tell me what to do."

"Stop deceiving yourself." Qian Daoliu looked at her distraught appearance and felt a little sorry for her, but he knew that he had to bring her back to her senses.

According to She Long's report, Qian Renxue had gradually developed feelings for Xuan Ming over the past two years. She had considered changing her previous attitude and trying to win him back, but her prejudice against Xuan Ming was deeply ingrained. Even if she wanted to change, Xuan Ming would only think she was pretending.

After being rebuffed several times, given Qian Renxue's proud nature, she was unlikely to back down again.

“If you were truly willing to change, your relationship wouldn’t be like this now. The reason you’re anxious is because Bibi Dong is here, and you’re worried that Xuanming will be drawn to her,” Qian Daoliu said.

“You’re not afraid of losing him, you’re afraid of losing, and even more afraid of losing to Bibi Dong.”

Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with stubbornness and unwillingness. "Grandpa, no! I... I admit that I did have such thoughts at first, but later I really wasn't just thinking about winning."

"Come on, if you really cared about him that much, you wouldn't have spread all those messy rumors about him, and you certainly wouldn't have pushed him towards other women," Qian Daoliu said.

"In this case……"

Qian Daoliu sighed, "Then let's call it a draw."

"I'll take care of that kid myself, so you don't need to worry about losing anymore."

“No!” Qian Renxue said.

"I'm not here to discuss this with you," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"It's obvious you can't handle this. In that case, it's best to end it as soon as possible before things get complicated."

If things continue as they are, Xuanming will most likely become the next Bibi Dong.

He has already endured the pain of losing a child once; he cannot bear to go through it again!
"Grandpa! I can handle this!" Qian Renxue said anxiously.

Qian Daoliu snorted coldly, "That's what your father said back then!"

"Grandpa, I..."

"That's enough." Qian Daoliu stood up.

"She Long, find that kid and bring him out of the city. I'll do it myself tonight."

When Qian Renxue heard Qian Daoliu's resolute order, her head buzzed and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. However, she also knew very well that once her grandfather made a decision, no one could change it.

“Grandpa, Xuanming is very important to Xue Qinghe right now. If he suddenly dies, Xue Qinghe’s status will definitely be impacted,” Qian Renxue said.

"At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Heaven Dou Royal Family, and the seven major families will all launch an investigation into this matter."

Are you trying to ruin all my plans of the past few years?

"I don't want to lower myself to fight a mere brat," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

“But you can’t handle this, so I have to do it for you.”

"Cut your losses now before things get worse."

He didn't interfere with Qian Xunji's affairs back then, letting that kid handle it himself, and that's how it ended! Bibi Dong was a fool back then, but Qian Xunji turned her into a dangerous madwoman.

Xuanming is no fool now. Compared to Bibi Dong, this kid gives him a more dangerous feeling!

Although Bibi Dong was dangerous, she ultimately had a weakness: she couldn't let go of her apprentice, Hu Liena.

But Xuanming couldn't find anything that could control this kid!

"Grandpa, give me some more..."

"Enough!" Qian Daoliu waved his hand, and a heavy pressure of soul power suddenly descended, forcing Qian Renxue to kneel on the ground without any resistance.

"You've lost your mind. Calm down."

"She Long, I'll give you three hours. I'll be waiting in Sunset Forest. Bring that kid over before dawn."

After saying that, Qian Daoliu disappeared from the study.

Qian Renxue knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly with anger and resentment. She bit her lower lip hard until a trace of blood spread in her mouth.

She Long stood in the shadows, looking at Qian Renxue's appearance, and sighed inwardly.

“Young Master, now that the Grand Elder has made up his mind, let’s discuss this further,” She Long said softly, trying to soothe Qian Renxue’s emotions.

Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination. "No, I can't give up like this. Uncle She, please help me. Go and bring Xuanming here now. I want to talk to him in person."

She Long looked troubled. "Young Master, the Grand Elder's order... and Xuan Ming has a deep-seated prejudice against you now. Even if we find him, he might not listen to your explanation."

Qian Renxue stood up, her aura suddenly changing. "Uncle She, you have followed me for many years, you should know how important Xuanming is to me, and you also know that Xue Qinghe's plan cannot be without him."

She Long sighed, "Young Master, once the Grand Elder has made a decision, no one can change it. You should think about how to handle the aftermath."

After saying that, She Long also left.

"Uncle She?"

"Elder She?"

"She Long!"

Qian Renxue called out several times, but no one answered. She was all alone in the large study. The air around her seemed to freeze, making it hard for her to breathe.

……

"Grand Master, is it really necessary to do it this way?"

Serpent Spear Douluo and Qian Daoliu did not leave, but concealed their presence and hid in the shadows of the Crown Prince's residence.

"Given their current situation, this is the only way," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"What if Young Master... can't let go?" Serpent Spear Douluo asked worriedly.

"You really intend to kill that kid?"

The only one who can stop Qian Daoliu now is Bibi Dong!
But asking Qian Renxue to ask Bibi Dong for help is simply unrealistic!

"Who do you think has stronger talent, that kid or Xiaoxue?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"In terms of talent, Young Master is naturally superior," said Serpent Spear Douluo.

Qian Renxue's talent is comparable only to that of Bibi Dong back then. Although her cultivation speed is not as fast as Bibi Dong's, a large part of the reason is that her undercover plan has been delayed over the years. Otherwise, Qian Renxue would definitely have broken through to the Soul Saint level by now.

"So, who do you think will be stronger between the two of them in the future?" Qian Daoliu asked.

"To be honest, I'm not here to hear your compliments."

Serpent Spear Douluo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xuanming!"

Qian Renxue's talent for cultivation is indeed above Xuanming's, but that's all it is—talent!
Aside from talent, Qian Renxue is far inferior to Xuan Ming!

Once Xuanming reaches the same level as Qian Renxue, he is certain that Qian Renxue will never be a match for Xuanming!
"In that case, do you think I can let him continue to live?" Qian Daoliu said.

"If he and Xiaoxue could get together, that would be fine, but given their current situation, they will most likely become enemies in the future."

“But the young master…” Serpent Spear Douluo hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

"Feelings are ultimately just a momentary impulse," Qian Daoliu said calmly.

"She can have feelings, but she can't be burdened by them."
