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

Chapter 98 Qian Daoliu Leaves

When Ye Jingqiu put himself in her shoes, he felt as if his heart was broken.

She didn't notice that Bibi Dong's hands were clenched into fists, and she didn't loosen them until her knuckles turned white.

Bibi Dong curled her lips, her smile somewhat forced, and said, "She is the young master of the Offering Hall, how could she be sad? You're overthinking it."

"Is that so?" Ye Jingqiu looked over. Actually, she was just guessing, since she wasn't familiar with that young master. Moreover, she felt that Qian Renxue was full of malice towards her.

She nodded and didn't ask any more questions. "It's a pity that the former Grand Elder is about to leave the Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly and turned to look at her with some surprise.

Ye Jingqiu was stunned, completely unaware of what had happened. She slowly asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly and asked, "How did you know that Grand Elder Qiuqiu was leaving the Spirit Hall?"

Ye Jingqiu asked, puzzled, "The Grand Elder told me himself, Auntie, didn't you know?"

"I don't know, he never mentioned it." She looked at Ye Jingqiu suspiciously.

She didn't know exactly what was strange about it, but she just had a weird feeling.

Ye Jingqiu said nonchalantly, "Auntie, you've probably been so busy lately that you haven't noticed."

Bibi Dong was speechless, but she just couldn't get angry at her. Helplessly, she pushed Ye Jingqiu's head and said, "Okay, okay, I didn't notice."

The ceremony ended quickly.

When Qian Daoliu came down, Guangling and the others went to greet him. It was obvious that they were reluctant to see him off, but Qian Daoliu shook his head and refused their offer to see him off.

Ye Jingqiu bit her lower lip tightly. Although she had seen this scene, she still said, "Auntie, I'm going to check on the Grand Elder." After saying this, she ran off in that direction.

Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly, "This kid won't turn back until he hits a brick wall. He'll behave himself once he's rejected."

However, to Bibi Dong's complete surprise, when Ye Jingqiu walked to Qian Daoliu's side, he did not let her leave.

The two of them walked out one after the other.

"That's strange, really strange."

……

Ye Jingqiu looked at Qian Daoliu, who was two steps ahead of him, and tentatively asked, "Grand Elder, where do you want to go in the future?"

Qian Daoliu paused, then said, "Don't call me Grand Elder anymore. I have nothing to do with the Hall of Offerings anymore."

Ye Jingqiu was stunned and didn't know how to speak. Just then, Qian Daoliu spoke up, "From now on, just call me by my name, like... Guangling."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu lowered her head, unable to express her suffering. She called Guang Ling by his name directly because he seemed to be around the same age as her in both personality and appearance.

However, because she had studied under Qian Daoliu for so long, Ye Jingqiu felt awkward when she called out the name.

In her heart, Qian Daoliu was now half her teacher, so calling him by his name directly was going against the natural order.

After a moment of silence, Ye Jingqiu tentatively asked, "How about I call you teacher?"

Qian Daoliu's expression instantly turned cold, and he quickened his pace. "Call me whatever you want."

Because she was walking behind, Ye Jingqiu didn't see the expression on his face at all. On the contrary, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Teacher, where are you going?"

Qian Daoliu paused slightly. "Just looking around, what's wrong?"

"No, I was just asking."

"Um."

"Teacher, will you return to the Spirit Hall in the future?" Ye Jingqiu asked curiously.

"Perhaps." His voice was somewhat low.

Soon the two arrived at the entrance of the offering hall. Qian Daoliu said, "Alright, that's enough. I should go now."

Ye Jingqiu sighed deeply. No matter how many times she had to part, she always felt a subtle sadness.

After a long pause, she forced a smile. "Teacher, please be careful on your journey. Remember to eat and take care of yourself. If you want to come back, you can come back anytime. We would all welcome you."

After a moment of silence, Qian Daoliu slowly spoke, "I understand. Cultivate diligently, and I believe you can definitely become a god."

"Here, take this." As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Daoliu handed something to Ye Jingqiu.

Ye Jingqiu subconsciously took it, and saw that he had a herb in his hand. It was silvery white, with roots as transparent as hair, and nine blood-bead-shaped fruits at the top, each fruit containing a golden soul pattern.

"This is?"

Qian Daoliu said, "This is the Nine-Turn Soul Spirit Ginseng, which can only be used by Soul Masters below level 80. It can directly increase Soul Power by 10 levels."

The latest novel is first published here!

Ye Jingqiu's eyes widened upon hearing this. "There's actually such a thing?"

"It only takes effect once in a lifetime, and only those with exceptional talent can use it; it's not something just anyone can use."

He said this with his back to Ye Jingqiu, so no one could see the expression on his face. "Alright, I should go now."

After leaving those words, he quickly left, and his figure soon disappeared from sight.

Ye Jingqiu looked down at the thing in her hand and squinted. Perhaps with this, she would soon be able to reach level 60.

She stared at the direction where Qian Daoliu had disappeared for a long while before turning back.

Bibi Dong saw her and breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go. It's time to go back to the Papal Palace. You'll be leaving for the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow. We can't wait any longer. You only have three years. If we delay any longer, you won't be able to complete the first test."

Ye Jingqiu shook his head and slowly said, "Auntie, we should have to wait a while longer."

Bibi Dong frowned deeply. "Why?"

"My teacher gave me a medicinal herb that can help me cultivate my soul power quickly. I want to wait a little longer."

"Teacher? The former Grand Master?"

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Bibi Dong finally spoke, "Okay, but we can only squeeze out five days at most, and we can't delay any longer."

"I understand, Auntie." After a pause, she lowered her voice and told her the name and effects of the things Qian Daoliu had just given her.

Bibi Dong froze, then exclaimed in surprise, "Nine-Turn Soul Spirit Ginseng?"

"Auntie, do you know this?"

"How could I not know?" Bibi Dong frowned. "It was created because a god-level expert intervened in the cause and effect. Once this ginseng is created, a level 99 peerless Douluo will degenerate into a Soul King level within two years."

Ye Jingqiu frowned slightly, recalling Qian Daoliu's appearance earlier. "But Teacher left very quickly just now; he doesn't seem like a Soul King?"

Bibi Dong shook her head. "No, his speed will not change because of this. The so-called Soul King means that his soul power will remain at level 50 for two years. However, the difficulty compared to a true Soul King is that the soul skills he uses during these two years still require the soul power he had when he was a Peerless Douluo, but his soul power is only at level 50."
