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

Chapter 27 Rescued by Qian Daoliu

The man had platinum blonde hair that was half loose and half tied up. When he lowered his head, Ye Jingqiu could finally see his face clearly. It was a face that made it impossible to tell his actual age; it was handsome and aloof.

His buttons were meticulously fastened to the top, revealing an undeniable air of nobility.

Ye Jingqiu had seen this person seven years ago; he was Qian Daoliu, the chief priest of the offering hall.

Ye Jingqiu was pale, her heart and lungs were injured, and even breathing was painful. She tightly gripped Qian Daoliu's clothes and weakly spoke, "Great Elder—"

Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on her hand, he frowned, but in the end he didn't say anything. At that moment, with a single glance, the giant eagle formed by the lightning vanished instantly.

With just a glance, he has already reached the limit that most Soul Masters cannot achieve.

The Soul Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. He couldn't detect a trace of the soul power aura of the person in front of him, but just now, a single glance from that person had completely destroyed his ten-thousand-year-old soul skill.

This person is probably a master at the Title Douluo level.

"Retreat!" he shouted, and then he was the first to fly towards the direction of Wuhun City, which was the plan they had made from the beginning.

If the assassination fails, one can hide in the city. The Spirit Hall Academy has many powerful teachers, but Spirit City is crowded and dangerous. Only by hiding inside can one have a chance of survival.

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. "Golden Crocodile!"

Immediately, a figure flew towards them, so fast that Lu Sien could only see a shadow. In an instant, a Soul Emperor and a Soul King in the sky were knocked down by that shadow.

The man easily defeated a Soul King and a Soul Emperor without even releasing his Martial Soul or Soul Rings. He then flew downwards. By this time, it was already dark, and the distance was too great to see the figures of those people clearly.

Lu Si'en quickly stepped forward. Seeing Ye Jingqiu on the verge of death, a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes. He reached out to take Ye Jingqiu in his arms.

But to everyone's surprise, the platinum-haired man took a step back to avoid his movement.

"senior?"

For a moment, Lu Si'en was unsure of the attitude of the person in front of him.

Qian Daoliu spoke coldly, "You are Elder Ju's disciple?"

Lu Si'en's eyes flickered slightly. If he was not sure at first, he now had a plan in mind: the person in front of him must also be a member of the Spirit Hall.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't someone who came to harm Ye Jingqiu, that was fine.

"She's badly injured. You should go back to the academy first."

"But..." Lu Si'en hesitated, still somewhat uneasy about entrusting Ye Jingqiu to the person in front of him.

Ye Jingqiu's face was pale, and she said weakly, "Lu Si'en, you should go back first."

After Ye Jingqiu spoke, Lu Si'en, despite his reluctance and some hesitation, nodded and cautioned, "Be careful."

Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes, nodded at him, then turned around and disappeared in a few moments.

Lu Si'en watched the direction the two had left in for a long time before turning around and rushing back towards Wuhun City.

……

When Ye Jingqiu woke up again, she found herself lying in a very luxurious room.

She was covered with a silk quilt, and a huge crystal chandelier emitted a yellow light. Looking to the side, the place was even more magnificent than the Papal Palace.

She was somewhat confused. Her memory was still stuck on the time when Qian Daoliu took her away, and she had no idea how she got here.

At this moment, she was in excruciating pain in her chest. She tried to sit up, but the pain made her cough softly, so she had no choice but to lie down again.

At that moment, a maid dressed in white ran in from the outer room. Seeing Ye Jingqiu's movements, she quickly reached out to help her up. "Miss, are you alright?"

Ye Jingqiu leaned against the cushion the maid had placed behind her. "I'm fine. Where am I?"

The maid glanced at her inexplicably before speaking, "Miss, this is the Hall of Offerings. The Grand Elder brought you back. I am Chunshui, and I am here to serve you."

Ye Jingqiu reached out to pick up the water from the bedside table, but Chunshui saw this and quickly grabbed it before her, bringing it to her lips. "Miss, you are badly injured. The doctor said you must rest well during this time. Just let me know if you need anything."

"Thanks--"

After taking several large gulps of water, Ye Jingqiu asked, "Where is the Grand Elder?"

Chunshui glanced at the clock behind him and said, "At this hour, the Grand Master should be in a meeting with the other Grand Masters. He should be back soon."

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly. Because she was indeed feeling unwell, she finally lay down again with Chunshui's help.

But soon Ye Jingqiu could no longer lie down. Chunshui stood by her bedside, staring at her intently, a gaze she couldn't ignore even if she wanted to.

After a long while, Ye Jingqiu finally couldn't hold back any longer. She opened her eyes, looked at Chunshui with a hint of helplessness, and said, "Why don't you go and rest for a while?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Not knowing if Chunshui had misunderstood her words, she quickly waved her hand and said, "I was just going to prepare some clothes for you to change into after you fell asleep. Don't worry, I'm always here. Just tell me if you need anything."

Seeing Chunshui's serious expression, Ye Jingqiu's words seemed to get stuck in her throat. In the end, she closed her eyes, turned around, and faced away from Chunshui.

Silently repeat in your heart, if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.

After an unknown amount of time, amidst this unbearable discomfort, a voice saved Ye Jingqiu.

A slightly cold voice rang out, "What are you doing standing here?"

Chunshui said respectfully, "Grand Master, Miss has already woken up."

"Step back."

"Yes."

As the sound of footsteps faded into the distance, Ye Jingqiu turned around. Qian Daoliu was dressed in all black today, with the buttons fastened neatly, giving off an inexplicable sense of asceticism.

"Thank you for your help, Great Elder." Ye Jingqiu had fair skin, which looked even whiter now that she was injured. She lay in the bedding, only her face showing, looking pitiful, weak and helpless.

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly and said, "Those people have been caught. Someone hired someone to commit murder, and the mastermind behind it is a man named Zhang Wanhao. Do you know him?"

Ye Jingqiu hadn't heard this name for several years. If Qian Daoliu hadn't brought it up today, she would have completely forgotten about the old story.

"I know him. He used to be a student at the Spirit Hall Academy, but he was expelled a few years ago. He must have held a grudge, which is why he attacked me."

Qian Daoliu nodded, his expression remaining calm throughout, as if he didn't care at all.

"As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, you must have your own way of solving this."

Ye Jingqiu understood Qian Daoliu's meaning and quickly said, "Don't worry, Grand Elder, I will strive to become a qualified Holy Maiden."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly; he enjoyed talking to intelligent people.
