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

Chapter 47 Qian Daoliu's Appeasement

Three days passed quickly for Ye Jingqiu. Before she had had enough time with Grandma Li, Qian Daoliu stood up and pulled open the curtains.

Sunlight streamed in instantly. Ye Jingqiu hadn't seen the light for quite some time, and she squinted uncomfortably.

Qian Daoliu turned around and stood with his back to the light. Ye Jingqiu couldn't see the expression on his face, but he heard his voice was somewhat cold, "Three days have passed, it's time to return to the Hall of Offerings."

For some reason, at that moment Ye Jingqiu seemed to see an angel descending from the sky, as if he had come specifically to pull her out of the mire of losing her loved ones.

After these few days, Ye Jingqiu's mood had improved considerably. She no longer said those willful things. She nodded and said, "Grand Elder, I'll change Grandma's clothes, and then I'll go back with you."

Qian Daoliu paused slightly. He was a man of his word and never wanted to waste time on such matters, but for some reason, he once again chose to indulge himself in front of Ye Jingqiu.

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside." After saying that, Qian Daoliu turned around and left.

Upon seeing the door open, Bibi Dong quickly stood up. When she saw that the person who came out was Qian Daoliu, she couldn't help but tilt her head to look inside.

However, because Qian Daoliu was too tall, he completely blocked Ye Jingqiu from view inside the room. The door closed again, and Yue Guan hurriedly went to greet him, asking with a worried expression, "How is the Grand High Priestess?"

Qian Daoliu's eyes remained as cold as ever. "I will take her back to the Hall of Worship later." After saying this, she walked straight to the sofa and sat down.

Bibi Dong was filled with mixed feelings. Three days ago, Guang Ling came to pick up Ye Jingqiu, but she ignored everyone. Knowing that she wanted to be alone, Bibi Dong sent Guang Ling back to the Offering Hall.

Unexpectedly, Qian Daoliu came in person that afternoon. But contrary to her expectations, he didn't come to interrogate her; instead, he asked Ye Jingqiu what had happened.

Whether it was Bibi Dong's imagination or not, she always felt that Qian Daoliu had some concerns about Ye Jingqiu at the time.

Three days ago, when Qian Daoliu went in, Bibi Dong didn't have any particular feelings for him. After all, Ye Jingqiu was her niece, and Bibi Dong knew her personality all too well.

Although Ye Jingqiu seems like an easy-going and well-behaved girl, she is actually closed off inside, just like when she first brought Ye Jingqiu back.

Although she kept calling her "Auntie," Bibi Dong knew that she had never let her guard down, and it wasn't until a year later that she truly accepted her and the Spirit Hall.

Unexpectedly, Qian Daoliu not only went in, but stayed inside for three days. The fact that he could say this now shows that Ye Jingqiu's emotions have stabilized.

Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief. Qian Daoliu was one of the top experts in the entire Douluo Continent. Having his protection would only benefit Ye Jingqiu.

Bibi Dong sincerely said, "Thank you, Great Venerable One."

Qian Daoliu paused slightly, then said calmly, "Now that I'm teaching her, I'm practically her teacher, so there's no need for thanks."

Inside the house, Ye Jingqiu's movements were slow but gentle. She pulled Grandma Li's arm out of her clothes, and then her eyes reddened slightly as she said, "Grandma, I will miss you. Take good care of yourself. In the next life, I still want to be your granddaughter."

Less than half an hour later, the door opened again, and this time Ye Jingqiu appeared at the door.

She seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. Her waist-length black hair fell smoothly down, and although her eyes were red-rimmed, there was a hint of determination in them compared to before.

Bibi Dong was finally completely relieved. She tilted her head and winked at Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Jingqiu and said, "Qiuqiu, when Grandma Li was alive, she said she wanted to return to her roots. Now, several days have passed since she passed away, and we can't wait any longer."

Seeing that she didn't show any unusual expression, she felt relieved and continued, "How about we have Elder Gui and Elder Ju take Grandma Li back for burial?"

Ye Jingqiu was no exception; Grandma Li had previously told her that she wanted to be buried next to her parents' graves after she died.

Looking back now, Grandma Li was probably already terminally ill, otherwise why would she have said such things to her out of the blue? But it's too late to say anything now.

Ye Jingqiu took a deep breath, then looked at Bibi Dong apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to have worried Aunt and everyone these past few days. It won't happen again. Thank you Aunt, Uncle Gui, and Uncle Ju for Grandma's matter."

These words left everyone present feeling uneasy.

Bibi Dong sighed and then said, "Qiuqiu, we are family. There's no need for such formalities between family members."

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly, then walked up to Qian Daoliu and said, "Grand Elder, we can go back to the Hall of Offerings now. The special training has been suspended for so many days, it should be restarted."

Qian Daoliu stared at her for a long time, and just as Ye Jingqiu was wondering what was going on, he slowly nodded, "Okay."

After saying that, he turned and walked away first. Ye Jingqiu turned to Bibi Dongdao and said, "Auntie, I will come back in three months." After saying that, she quickly stepped forward and followed closely behind Qian Daoliu.

Throughout the journey, Guangling kept winking at Ye Jingqiu. She knew he was trying to make her happy, but she really couldn't be happy at the moment. So, she slightly curled her lips, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

The latest novel is first published here!

Qian Daoliu paused slightly, but none of the others noticed anything amiss, and they quickly headed towards the Hall of Worship.

When Ye Jingqiu returned to the Hall of Offerings, he was inexplicably struck by a sense that things had changed.

She gave a wry smile and then followed Qian Daoliu to the training ground.

Everything inside was the same, but to Ye Jingqiu it seemed as if everything had changed.

She suppressed her discomfort, reached out her hand, and instantly her martial spirit, the Soul-Capturing Bell, appeared in her hand.

A silver bell has a gold chain attached to it, and the entire silver chain is engraved with a gold pattern.

The Soul-Capturing Bell now has four lines: one yellow, two purple, and the fourth black.

Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on the four lines that were the same color as Ye Jingqiu's soul rings, and he fell into deep thought.

Apart from that, the Soul-Capturing Bell looked exactly the same as before.

Qian Daoliu said calmly, "Let me see your fourth soul skill."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu's face showed a fleeting embarrassment. She lowered her head to avoid Qian Daoliu's gaze, then coughed lightly, and the black soul ring on her body instantly lit up.

As expected of a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, the energy released by this spirit ring is extremely domineering, something Ye Jingqiu has never experienced before.
