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

Chapter 84 Return to the Spirit Hall

In the Starry Sky Forest.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse treetops, casting dappled patterns on the road.

The platinum-haired man moved quickly, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, exuding an extraordinary aura as he nimbly darted through the crowd like a gust of wind.

Not far ahead of him was another platinum-haired man, who was also moving very fast.

As dusk fell, everything around us grew dark.

The Starry Night Forest is much more dangerous in the dead of night.

Many powerful spirit beasts appear at night, and at this time, various powerful spirit beasts around began to roar.

The Starry Sky Forest came to life at that moment.

Suddenly, the man in front of him stumbled, almost falling over a rock, but he steadied himself with a light jump.

Upon seeing this, the man behind immediately sped up.

As dawn broke, they ran out from the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

As darkness fell, the blond man finally stopped on a hill.

"Are you ever going to stop? You've been chasing me for three months! I'm exhausted, even if you're not. Can't you give me a break?"

The man behind her remained unmoved and said calmly, "You should go back. Haven't you had enough of living the high life after all these years?"

The man sighed and said, "Qian Daoliu, aren't you comfortable sitting in the position of Grand Elder of the Hall of Worship? The entire Spirit Hall is in your hands."

Qian Daoliu stared intently at him. "Qian Xunji is dead. Did you know that?"

After a long silence, the man said, "I know."

"That's your own son, are you just going to let him go like this?"

The man closed his eyes briefly and said, "I don't want to have anything to do with the Spirit Hall anymore, including Qian Xunji. I was heartbroken by his death, but he did wrong, so let it be. You didn't interfere, did you?"

Qian Daoliu slowly spoke, "You're not going to care about Qian Renxue either? She's not a child anymore. You should go back. I've been looking after the matter of the divine succession and the Spirit Hall for so many years. Haven't you made enough trouble?"

The man's face was somewhat cold. He slowly spoke, "Qian Daoliu, I don't want to go back. You've helped me for so many years, please help me again, okay?"

Qian Daoliu's face turned ugly. "She's just a woman! How long are you going to stay so dejected? Come back to the Spirit Hall with me, and I'll find you as many women as you want!"

The man shook his head, heartbroken, and said, "Qian Daoliu! Do you think I haven't tried? I've tried to forget her, but I can't, I just can't!"

"You don't know until you've loved someone else. Every smile, every word she said is deeply etched in my mind."

"Qian Daoliu, you've never loved anyone before. You have no idea what that feeling is like. If forgetting were that easy, there would be so much less trouble in the world."

Qian Daoliu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Where's Qian Xunji? He's your son, but where's his mother? She gave birth to your son, and Qian Renxue is your granddaughter, yet you haven't even met her once."

"You abandoned your wife and children for a woman? Do you think your love is noble?" Qian Daoliu's voice was cold. "So what if I've never loved anyone? I wouldn't stoop to doing what you've done!"

"Love! Can love put food on the table? So many people in the Spirit Hall, are you going to disregard everything for just one woman?"

The man shook his head vigorously and said, "No, Qian Daoliu, you don't understand anything! You don't understand anything!"

"Do you know what it feels like to stay in the Hall of Offerings for so long? You don't understand! You couldn't even endure it for a few short decades. Since you yourself can't endure it, why should I endure all of this?"

Qian Daoliu closed his eyes, feeling utterly exhausted. "I don't want to move. None of this concerns me. You're coming back to the Hall of Worship with me now. There's no room for discussion."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately turned around and ran again.

……

A group of people stood outside the Spirit Hall, with Bibi Dong at the front, wearing an extremely luxurious robe and holding a cane that symbolized power.

Ye Jingqiu quickly got off the carriage and headed straight for Bibi Dong.

"Greetings, Saintess!"

Everyone knelt down at the same time.

Bibi Dong took her hand and whispered, "How have you been playing lately, Qiuqiu?"

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly, a smile on his face, and said, "I've been very happy lately. How about Auntie?"

Bibi Dong sighed softly, "Now that Qiuqiu is back, of course I'm happy."

At the same time, another carriage stopped, and everyone got off.

Lu Si'en's bow was very proper, while Lu Fangbin stood to the side with a rather unpleasant expression, truly showing a preference for women over the master.

She's so obsequious to Ye Jingqiu's aunt, yet so cold to him.

As a grandfather, he was heartbroken.

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Shiyu chuckled and said, "Your Holiness, I am the sect leader of the Soul-Seizing Sect. I should have come to visit long ago, but I have never had the opportunity. It is our honor to have this opportunity to come to the Spirit Hall today."

Bibi Dong knew this was just an excuse, and she didn't take it to heart at all. She nodded slightly.

The ghost approached and said, "The two sect leaders have had a long journey, so His Holiness the Pope has prepared a feast for you."

Ye Shiyu smiled and said, "Then I will trouble Your Majesty the Pope."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly, her expression neither warm nor cold, and slowly led Ye Jingqiu inside.

Ye Shiyu was laughing the whole time.

Lu Fangbin lowered his voice and said, "Old fool, you're not good enough. It seems His Holiness the Pope doesn't like you very much. But then again, your third son's work isn't very good either."

Ye Shiyu snorted coldly and said, "It's none of your business."

Lu Fangbin slowly opened his mouth and said sarcastically, "What kind of behavior is this from the dignified sect leader of the Soul-Seizing Sect? I'd better handle this."

Ye Shiyu said, "You wish! That's my granddaughter. Don't even think about it."

Inside the Spirit Hall, the crystal chandeliers shone brightly.

The silver cutlery was arranged meticulously: steamed lobster, pan-fried foie gras, and grilled steak.

Bibi Dong pulled Ye Jingqiu to sit next to her.

Ye Jingqiu tilted his head and looked at the group, saying, "Sect Masters, Grandpa Bai, please have a seat."

As soon as he said "Grandpa Bai," Ye Shiyu and Lu Fangbin tilted their heads and looked at him almost simultaneously.

Especially Ye Shiyu, his own grandfather hadn't even been called "grandfather" yet, and that old guy Bai Baitai beat him to it.

I'm so angry.

But with so many people in front of him, Ye Shiyu forced himself to sit down.

Bibi Dong spoke up, "Thank you all. Qiuqiu has been very grateful for your care these past few days. As a junior, I should have come to express my gratitude, but I didn't expect you two to come first. We were not good at entertaining you."

"Your Holiness is too kind."
