Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 539 Misunderstanding Cleared Up

Seeing Qian Daoliu so frustrated, Han Feng couldn't help but frown as well.

Han Feng was a little confused. Judging from Qian Daoliu's appearance, it seemed that Serpent Spear Douluo had framed him, which was why there was such hostility between them today. But based on Han Feng's understanding, even if Serpent Spear Douluo had two more lives, he wouldn't dare to disobey Qian Daoliu's wishes, let alone frame him!

After all, when Han Feng killed the Serpent Spear Douluo, the Serpent Spear Douluo's face showed no resentment towards Qian Daoliu, only resentment.

It's not that we don't have the ability, it's that we dare not!

The extent of Qian Daoliu's influence within the Spirit Hall is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

But to say that Qian Daoliu was acting to deny it would be too real—of course, Han Feng did not doubt Qian Daoliu's acting skills. After all, he had lived for hundreds of years and it was no exaggeration to call him an old fox. If Qian Daoliu wanted to, his acting skills could definitely surpass 99% of the people on the continent. If he really wanted to deceive Han Feng's eyes, it would not be a difficult thing.

But the question is, what's the point of all this?

Some things aren't simply a matter of what the truth is; it depends on whether the people involved believe it!

In today's context, it's a matter of whether Han Feng believes Qian Daoliu's words or not. If Han Feng doesn't believe them, no matter how eloquently Qian Daoliu speaks, it will all be in vain!

The hesitation on Han Feng's face showed that he clearly did not believe Qian Daoliu's shallow statement.

Han Feng silently watched Qian Daoliu, waiting for Qian Daoliu's explanation.

After all, with Qian Renxue's involvement, Han Feng wouldn't act rashly just because he didn't believe her. He gave Qian Daoliu a chance, a chance to give a reasonable explanation. If what Qian Daoliu said was true, then Han Feng would regret it—regret letting the Serpent Spear Douluo die too easily back then!

Of course, if Qian Daoliu's explanation is not satisfactory to Han Feng, or is unreasonable, then there's nothing more to say.

Admittedly, Han Feng couldn't see through Qian Daoliu's acting skills, but if it was just a matter of narration, Han Feng was confident that he could find the loopholes in Qian Daoliu's words!

Han Feng remained silent, and Qian Daoliu and Han Feng weren't so familiar that they could understand each other with just a glance. Han Feng stood there silently, maintaining his composure, while Qian Daoliu had no idea what Han Feng was thinking.

Fortunately, there were not only Qian Daoliu and Han Feng in the arena, but also Qian Renxue.

Seeing the atmosphere fall into an awkward silence, Qian Renxue became increasingly anxious. On one hand was her beloved, the person she had entrusted her life to, and on the other hand was her close relative, the one who had raised her. She did not want these two people to have an irreconcilable conflict!

"Grandpa!" After hesitating for a moment, Qian Renxue glared at Qian Daoliu and cried out anxiously, "What happened?! Explain yourself!"

It is said that once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled from a cup, and this is no exception even in a different world like Douluo Continent. Although Qian Renxue is not yet married, she is almost. At least now, Qian Renxue has subconsciously considered Han Feng's family as her husband's family. If it were three years ago, perhaps Qian Renxue would have questioned Han Feng at this time.

After all, that night, Qian Renxue completely gave herself to Han Feng.

This matter is difficult to explain clearly. Neither Qian Renxue nor Han Feng realized it, but the shrewd and experienced Qian Daoliu saw through it all. However, Qian Daoliu only sighed softly in his heart and had no other thoughts about it.

There's nothing to be upset about since we were prepared for it.

Qian Daoliu simply recounted, "Xue'er, that year, after Grandpa rescued you two from the far north and brought you back to the Spirit Hall, he did indeed send the Serpent Spear Douluo to the far north to search for Han Feng!"

Upon seeing Qian Daoliu admit it, Qian Renxue's heart tightened immediately!

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu helplessly stroked Qian Renxue's hair and said with a wry smile, "Don't think too much! The moment Grandpa saw Han Feng, he knew you were in love with this boy. Although my Angel Clan is proud, we dare to love and hate. No matter who you fall in love with, Grandpa will support you. How could I do something like breaking up a loving couple!"

"Grandpa!" Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's nervousness dissipated considerably, and her pretty face flushed as she playfully called out in a reproachful tone.

Although it's true, you can't just say it in front of Han Feng!

Qian Daoliu ignored Qian Renxue's shy, girlish demeanor, and instead laughed heartily twice, continuing, "The reason I sent Serpent Spear Douluo to the far north to find Han Feng was not for assassination, but quite the opposite, to confirm Han Feng's safety, and even to secretly protect him!"

"After Grandpa brought you back to the Spirit Hall, the Ice God's legacy fell from the far north, and Han Feng is also a successor of a god. How could I, Grandpa, not feel at ease?"

"Since ancient times, whether it was a battle between soul masters or an imperial conquest, before the final battle, it was always a case of kings not meeting kings. When two successors of gods meet in the far north, a battle is inevitable!"

"Grandpa was worried that Han Feng would suffer, so I sent Serpent Spear to find him. After all, the far north is practically the home ground of the Ice God's successor!"

"The other elders of the Elder Hall were also present at this event. If you don't believe me, you can certainly search their souls!"

Qian Daoliu was extremely cold-hearted towards the elders of the Spirit Hall!

"But..." At this point, Qian Daoliu's tone shifted, his eyes once again flashing with anger and disgust towards the Serpent Spear Douluo. He snorted coldly and said, "Grandpa just didn't expect that the Serpent Spear would misinterpret Grandpa's meaning, taking protection as assassination. What a brainless idiot!"

At this point, Qian Daoliu's face showed no sign of righteous indignation.

Immediately, Qian Daoliu looked at Han Feng again, his indignant expression fading, replaced by a complex and meaningful look. He said, "What Grandpa didn't expect was that this suddenly appearing successor of the Ice God was actually Han Feng!"

Two gods in one body—who could have imagined that!?

After listening to Qian Daoliu's words, Han Feng also revealed a strange expression.

Judging from Qian Daoliu's words and demeanor, he didn't seem to be lying. Han Feng was quite confident about this. Even if what Qian Daoliu said wasn't entirely true, it was at least nine parts true and one part false. What was certain was that assassinating Han Feng was not Qian Daoliu's original intention. As for how the Serpent Spear Douluo misinterpreted protection as assassination, Han Feng had no idea.

Not to mention Han Feng, even Qian Daoliu himself was puzzled!

No matter how experienced Ren Qiandao was, he could never have imagined that he had left such a deep shadow on Serpent Spear Douluo, to the point that Serpent Spear Douluo imagined a simple person as a bloody assassination!

After all, in Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes, he had failed in his duty to protect Qian Renxue, and Qian Daoliu's decision not to kill him was already more than merciful. How could he be so lenient?

Look at the Porcupine Douluo, he just returned to the Spirit Hall and was crushed to ashes by Qian Daoliu!

Getting back to the point, Han Feng at least reluctantly accepted Qian Daoliu's explanation.

Now Han Feng was just thinking, why did he let the Serpent Spear Douluo die so easily back then?

"That's because you didn't explain it clearly, Grandpa!" Qian Renxue didn't think too much about it. Seeing the anger on Han Feng's face dissipate, she felt relieved and said to Qian Daoliu with some resentment.

Qian Daoliu could only smile wryly at this, but did not refute it.

Ultimately, the order came from Qian Daoliu, the people were sent out by Qian Daoliu, and the location was given by Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu is ultimately not exempt from involvement!

If Han Feng hadn't been strong enough, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue might have even broken up because of this!

The impact goes far beyond this; with Han Feng dead, the mainland will surely descend into chaos!

Of course, if Han Feng were truly lacking in strength and ultimately failed to use the Ice and Fire Harmony Technique to counterattack and kill Serpent Spear Douluo, it's more likely that Serpent Spear Douluo would be instantly obliterated by the sudden divine power, and Han Feng would then be scolded by the angry God of Defense.

"Enough!" Han Feng let out a long sigh, respectfully raised his hand to bow to Qian Daoliu, and sincerely said, "I was rash! Please forgive me, senior!"

Although this matter was inextricably linked to Qian Daoliu, even if it was a misunderstanding, it did indeed put Han Feng in a dangerous situation!

But Qian Daoliu was Qian Renxue's grandfather after all, so Han Feng didn't get hung up on it and took the initiative to back down—one should be more understanding, especially as a man, one should have the necessary magnanimity, especially when it concerns one's own woman.

There are confusing accounts and confusing calculations. Even if Qian Daoliu really thought about assassinating Han Feng, Han Feng couldn't possibly execute Qian Daoliu on the spot. Now that Qian Daoliu didn't think about assassination, let this matter die along with the Serpent Spear Douluo!

Of course, this lenient attitude was only towards Qian Daoliu. If it were anyone else, Han Feng would let them know how to spell the three words "Han Ji Chou" (meaning "Han holds a grudge")!

Putting everything else aside, if it were Golden Crocodile Douluo, and if Serpent Spear Douluo had gone to the far north under Golden Crocodile Douluo's instructions, Han Feng wouldn't have given Golden Crocodile Douluo a chance to explain. The moment they met, Golden Crocodile Douluo would have been turned into a human pig!
