Douluo Continent: Twin Angels, Heartless Rakshasa

After recognizing the disparity in strength between the two sides, Xie Yue finally bowed his head and acknowledged Qian Renchen as his leader.

He sat on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, how old are you?"

"Of course you're only six years old. I've been sharing a dorm with you for a while now. If you were older, you wouldn't have been assigned to a first-year dorm," Qian Renchen said with a smile.

"Then how come you were able to cultivate to level 24, boss?" Xie Yue tilted his head, looking puzzled.

Qian Renchen said, "This is a secret of the Spirit Hall, and it's not convenient to tell outsiders."

He didn't want to tell Xie Yue the secret of his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's innate level 20, as that would diminish his mystique and make him quite boring.

Let him fill in the blanks in his own mind.

It can only be said that the Angelic Martial Soul is too special, with innate level 20 soul power, making it stand out from the crowd.

"Confidential..." Xie Yue turned her head away, pursed her lips, and thought to herself, "Damn it, fine if you don't want to tell me."

Qian Renchen said, "Xie Yue, I'm new to the academy and don't know this place yet. Can you lead the way and show me around?"

"Okay, boss."

Xie Yue raised his chin and smiled, "Boss, I've been at the Spirit Hall Academy for half a year now, and I'm very familiar with this place. Let's go."

The two left the dormitory one after the other, went downstairs, and walked slowly along the bluestone corridor outside the dormitory.

Qian Renchen suddenly asked, "Xie Yue, do you have any friends or acquaintances at the academy?"

Xie Yue said, "Big brother, why are you asking this? I get along really well with Yan from my class. Are you going to take him on as your follower?"

Yan, isn't that the guy from the original story whose martial soul was the Flame Lord? So they've known each other since childhood…

Qian Renchen chuckled: "Do you want him to be my underling too?"

Without hesitation, Xie Yue replied, "Of course, I'm already your underling. If he's like me, that would be even better."

If Qian Renchen really wanted to subdue Yan, he would definitely give it his full support.

"What a child, he can't keep things to himself..." Qian Renchen said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. You can introduce me to him then."

"Alright, leave it to me." Xie Yue patted his chest and laughed loudly.

The Spirit Hall Academy covers a vast area and includes various simulated training grounds.

Led by Xie Yue, it took Qian Renchen a full hour and a half to tour the entire academy.

Exhausted, he lay down on his bed to rest as soon as he got back to his dormitory.

The next day, Qian Renchen followed Xie Yue to their class.

In the first year, he had to attend theory classes in the morning, which was extremely boring and tedious for him.

After class, Xie Yue introduced Yan to him.

Children are all competitive, and after a friendly exchange, Qian Renchen successfully gained his second follower.

During a conversation, he casually revealed his background to Xie Yue and Yan.

Upon learning that Qian Renchen was a descendant of the Pope, the slight resentment they harbored vanished instantly, and they began to admire him wholeheartedly.

Both were orphans from the Spirit Hall Orphanage and were instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the Pope from a young age.

It's not shameful to be unable to defeat the Pope's son, and it's certainly not shameful to be his subordinate!

……

The day before Qian Xunji's funeral, Qian Renchen asked the academy for a few days' leave and returned to the Elder Hall.

On such an important day as the funeral, as Qian Xunji's son, he naturally had to return.

Qian Daoliu returned in the evening.

Although Qian Xunji's death was related to Tang Hao, Qian Daoliu may have been wary of the half-dead Tang Chen and did not pursue him relentlessly.

Since tomorrow is the Pope's funeral, the palaces in Wuhun City have already been dressed in mourning clothes.

White curtains and white sails hung down over the palace, swaying in the wind, their sounds like the low murmurs of departed souls.

The scene was filled with an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

Qian Renchen stood upright outside the hall, letting the evening breeze caress his face.

Qian Renxue suddenly appeared behind him and tugged at his sleeve.

"Brother, come to my room, I have something to tell you."

"Sis, what are you going to do in your room? Can't we talk here?" Qian Renchen asked, turning her head.

"It's not convenient here," Qian Renxue said. "Why ask so many questions? When you were little, you slept in my arms every day, and I never said anything."

"Alright." Qian Renchen nodded and said, "Let's go then."

The two left the Elder Hall one after the other and arrived at Qian Renxue's courtyard in the Spirit Hall.

Upon entering the bedroom, Qian Renchen smelled a delicate fragrance wafting in the air, just like the scent on her sister.

Qian Renchen casually found a sofa to sit on, crossed her legs, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Qian Renxue looked haggard and whispered, "Achen."

I was actually satisfied with that home before.

"Even though life wasn't ideal, at least... it was still a complete home."

"But three days ago, everything changed."

"Bibi Dong actually devoured her father, and the reason she did this was because her father had persecuted her."

"At that moment, our home shattered."

"My feelings are very complicated. I can't sleep at night, and every time I do fall asleep, I'm woken up by nightmares."

"Ever since I learned about this, I haven't known how to face Bibi Dong."

"I even considered leaving Spirit City to become an undercover agent in Heaven Dou City."

"On the one hand, it keeps us away from Bibi Dong; on the other hand, it allows us to secretly provide assistance to the Spirit Hall."

Qian Renchen asked, "Sister, are you leaving?"

He remembered that in the original story, Qian Renxue left Wuhun City at the age of nine, went to the Heaven Dou Empire, killed Xue Qinghe, and used the power of the Angel Soul Bone to replace him.

Qian Renxue shook her head and said softly, "No, I won't leave."

"I'm worried about you while you're still in the Spirit Hall. If Bibi Dong bullies you, there'll be no one to stand up for you."

Even if Bibi Dong scolds me, there's nothing you can do... Qian Renchen's thoughts wandered, and then he asked, "Are you really determined?"

Qian Renxue smiled gently: "Of course. I tossed and turned for two days and two nights, weighing the matter in my heart, and I have already made my decision."

Qian Renchen: "..."

Unexpectedly, he told Qian Renxue about Bibi Dong devouring Qian Xunji, and by a twist of fate, she chose to stay in Wuhun City.

He thought for a moment and said, "Sis, why are you so concerned about me?"

"Isn't it the most basic thing for an older sister to care for her younger brother?"

Qian Renxue raised her hand and ruffled his stray hairs, smiling gently as she said, "I will always be good to you, because you deserve it."

"Although you sometimes say discouraging things, at the end of the day, you're just a kid who's lost his way in relationships."

"You will always be my favorite younger brother, a unique existence in the world."

"Sister..." Qian Renchen was taken aback upon hearing this.

A hint of drowsiness flashed across Qian Renxue's eyes as she said, "Let's go back, it's late."

"Don't stay here overnight."

"I'm attending my father's funeral tomorrow, and I might have to keep vigil tonight, even though my father's spirit is no longer with me..."

"One minute you're saying I'm your most beloved younger brother, the next you're telling me to go back." Qian Renchen shook his head slightly and sighed, "It hurts me so much."

Qian Renxue: "..."
