Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 211 The Spirit Hall's High-Ranking Officials Have Problems with Their Brains

When Qian Daoliu heard Ye Liangchen's plan, he couldn't understand why this little guy only wanted to cripple Tang Dachui. With the titled Douluo around him, killing Tang Dachui shouldn't have been a problem!

"Young friend Ye, could you tell me what your real purpose was in crippling Tang Hao?" Qian Daoliu asked curiously, willing to lend a hand if possible.

"High Priest, why ask so many questions? Just guard your Temple of Angels."

Bibi Dong reminded Qian Daoliu not to cause trouble, fearing that the old pedantic man would ruin Ye Liangchen's plans.

"If I reveal my plan, it might not work, so it's best if you don't ask. As for your concerns, it's nothing more than your good buddy, Senior Tang Chen, causing trouble in the future."

"What? Senior, you are also a Limit Douluo, are you afraid of him?"

Ye Liangchen understood Qian Daoliu's concerns. To be honest, in the original story, Tang Dachui appeared at the end of the finals and smashed the angel statue, but Qian Daoliu refused to show up. This was probably the reason. There was another reason, though: he felt that he was a demigod and did not want to get involved in the struggles of the younger generation.

"How could I be afraid of him?" As soon as Qian Daoliu heard the name Tang Chen, he immediately recalled some things from the past.

"Young Master Ye said that the Grand Elder and Tang Chen are good buddies? What does that mean?"

The other titled Douluo were completely bewildered; this was the first time they had ever heard the term "best buddy."

"Pfft...! Best buddies forever."

When Bibi Dong heard the term "best buddy," she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Your Holiness, what does 'best buddy' mean?" Ye Cailan asked Bibi Dong curiously.

"The word 'Cai Lan' was uttered by Xiao Chen. He said that best buddies are for life, and it's used to describe the bond between men, like that between Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo."

"Ah! I see! But why do I feel like it's a little cheesy?"

"Cailan, let me tell you, Elder Ju sometimes calls Elder Gui 'dead ghost,' and when I heard that, it gave me goosebumps all over..."

Bibi Dong and Ye Cailan were discussing the topic of best buddies on the side, completely ignoring Qian Daoliu's embarrassed expression.

The other titled Douluo looked at Qian Daoliu with gossipy expressions, wanting to laugh but too embarrassed to do so, their faces turning red.

"Xiao Chen, don't talk about my grandpa like that! He and Senior Tang Chen aren't good buddies."

Qian Renxue reached out and patted Ye Liangchen on the back, thinking to herself with a hint of coquettishness: I've already given this guy a secret room, and he still talks about my grandfather like that. It seems that if I want this little guy to accept his grandfather, I'll have to keep giving him secret rooms in the future.

"Sister Xue, I heard that although your grandfather and Senior Tang Chen were from different camps back then, they had a very deep relationship. They even pursued the Sea God Douluo Poseidon together."

There's a saying: "We've fought together, we've chased girls together. Only best buddies can do something like that."

Ye Liangchen felt that the mutual respect and camaraderie between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen was similar to that between best buddies.

"Grandpa, is what Little Chen said true?" Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu with a gossipy expression, making the old man blush.

"Haha...!" The titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall could no longer hold back and turned around to laugh.

"Fighted together, chased girls together? Great Master, I never knew you had such hobbies back in the day."

Looking at Qian Daoliu's embarrassed expression, Bibi Dong suddenly felt that he wasn't so annoying anymore.

"Ahem! Young friend Ye, although I don't know how you found out, could you please give me some face? Don't blurt everything out."

Qian Daoliu felt extremely embarrassed as Ye Liangchen nearly revealed all his secrets.

"Senior, this isn't anything shameful. It should be shared to make the younger generation happy."

Ye Liangchen said that on purpose so that these old guys wouldn't dare to act like experts or put on airs in front of him.

The titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall finally understood why this monstrous young man had managed to throw the Heaven Dou Empire into chaos. This kid's words alone could talk people to death.

"Oh, right! There's something I need to remind you about Sister Xue's undercover operation to seize power."

"When I first met Crown Prince Xue Qinghe at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I could tell he wasn't a man. He lacked any masculine qualities, had a feminine aura, and skin better than many women. Most importantly, he possessed a faint, alluring fragrance that only women have. As for whether the Heaven Dou royal family noticed it, I don't know."

"I don't know if the higher-ups of your Spirit Hall are out of their minds? They assigned Sister Xue such a stupid undercover mission, making her play political intrigue every day, which delayed her cultivation. As a result, she is now over 20 years old and has not even reached the Soul Emperor level yet."

"If Sister Xue could cultivate normally, she would have at least reached the Soul Saint level by now, which would be worthy of her high talent."

"Sister Xue's talent can be said to be the strongest in the history of the Spirit Hall. She has a natural level 20 spirit power and a six-winged angel god-level spirit. In theory, as long as she trains her physical fitness well, her first spirit ring could be thousands of years old. Even if she doesn't have all of them, her second spirit ring should be at least thousands of years old! But you guys have managed to raise her into an ordinary genius. It's such a pity."

"Senior Qian Daoliu, you're such an unreliable grandfather. All you do is guard the Angel Temple and pray to the gods every day, but you've gotten nothing in return. You don't care about your granddaughter at all, and you've only sent two weak Title Douluos to protect her. If Sister Xue is discovered by the Super Douluos of the three upper sects, she will surely die. Then you'll have nowhere to cry."

Ye Liangchen pointed out Qian Renxue's ridiculous undercover plan in a very serious manner. To be honest, none of the high-ranking figures in the Spirit Hall are mentally sound. They would probably have to be level ten brain-dead to send their own super genius to infiltrate the enemy camp.

"Oh! This...this is that serious?"

Ye Liangchen's words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, striking the group in the Hall of Offerings and causing Qian Daoliu to break out in a cold sweat.

"Clap clap clap..."

"Alas! It's my fault for ruining Xue'er's future."

Qian Daoliu was filled with regret at this moment, and he slapped himself several times. What had he been doing all these years? He had ruined his granddaughter's golden age for cultivation.

"Grandpa..." Qian Renxue saw Qian Daoliu slapping himself and thought he had gone mad.

"Xue'er, Grandpa is sorry, Grandpa is a bastard."

"Slap slap slap..."

Qian Daoliu reached out and touched Qian Renxue's head, feeling immense heartache. Then he slapped himself several times.

"Grandpa, don't be like this, I'm fine."

Qian Renxue grabbed Qian Daoliu's hand to prevent him from slapping her in public, which would be too embarrassing.

"Old Long, Young Master Ye's mouth is truly formidable; he actually managed to get the Grand Elder to slap himself in the face."

"What Young Master Ye said is the truth, and we have to accept it. The young master's cultivation has indeed been delayed."

When Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo heard Ye Liangchen say that their strength was lacking, they were very uncomfortable, but they dared not refute him. Even the Grand Elder was so impressed by this prodigy that he slapped himself in the face.

"Great Elder, it seems that your idiot son's plan to seize the country back then was indeed, as Xiao Chen said, a stupid plan."

"Xiao Chen is right. There's something wrong with the brains of all these people in the Spirit Hall. They've really delayed Xiao Xue's cultivation."

Seeing Qian Daoliu actually slap himself in the face, Bibi Dong was overjoyed and took the opportunity to mock Qian Xunji.

At this moment, Bibi Dong suddenly realized that all the high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall were mentally unstable, including herself. If she hadn't met the little guy, her fate and that of the Spirit Hall would probably have been one of destruction!

"Little Chen, why did you bring this up? It makes my grandpa feel guilty."

Qian Renxue gave Ye Liangchen a charmingly disdainful look, feeling that the little guy was doing it on purpose.

"Sister Xue, the reason I'm telling you this is so you can see how stupid and unreliable your grandfather and his family are."

"This is a world where strength reigns supreme. Without great power, you simply cannot achieve your so-called dreams."

Ye Liangchen needs to make Qian Renxue, this proud and confident woman, understand some harsh realities.

"Xiaoxue, why don't you just give up on the mission and come back to focus on your cultivation?"

Qian Daoliu realized the seriousness of the matter. Over the years, his granddaughter's cultivation had been delayed too much, so he advised the girl to give up the mission.

"Grandpa, I've been undercover for so many years, and now I have some influence. I don't want to give up like this. Although Little Chen said it's a stupid mission, I still don't want to give up halfway. I will work hard to cultivate."

Qian Renxue has a strong personality and doesn't want to give up. Most importantly, this plan was proposed by her father, and she wants to prove herself.

"Sister Xue, have you been playing the Crown Prince for so long, calling that old man Xue Ye 'Father' for so many years, that you've developed feelings for him? Do you really think of yourself as that old man's son? I think you're out of your mind."

Even after Ye Liangchen has explained things to this extent, Qian Renxue is still unwilling to give up. It seems this woman is just stubborn.

"Little Chen, don't say that to me! I just want to complete this mission!"

Qian Renxue reached out her jade-like hand and pinched Ye Liangchen's ear. Although she knew that the little guy was doing it for her own good, she just wanted to fulfill her father's last wish.

"Xiaoxue, why won't you listen to Xiaochen's advice?"

Bibi Dong felt utterly helpless watching her foolish daughter insist on carrying out her dead father's plan.

"I don't want to give up all these years of hard work," Qian Renxue said proudly. The plan to seize the country was her own business, how could she give it up so easily?

"Then let Seniors Jiangmo and Qianjun stay by Sister Xue's side. In case they encounter a Super Douluo, they'll have some protection. Otherwise, Seniors Shemao and Citun simply won't be able to withstand the Super Douluo's attacks."

"You old folks in the temple should get out and about. Stop guarding an angel temple all day long. What's so great about it? The temple isn't going anywhere."

Seeing Qian Renxue's insistence, Ye Liangchen suggested that Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, two titled Douluo, protect her.

"This kid is really arrogant. I feel like he's the one in charge of the Spirit Hall."

Seeing Ye Liangchen yelling at the titled Douluo of the Hall of Offerings, Golden Crocodile Douluo was very unhappy, but dared not say anything. He could only stare at Ye Liangchen with wide eyes to express his dissatisfaction.

"What are you glaring at me for? Old man Golden Crocodile, you're not convinced? Then suppress your level and let's have a one-on-one fight. I won't take advantage of your age. I'm level 59 now, so suppress your soul power to Soul Emperor and let's fight. Whoever loses is a dog."

"You old folks, all you ever do is act like big shots in front of us young people, putting on airs. What's there to pretend about? You're good for nothing but showing off."

"If I were your age, I would have led everyone out of Douluo Star long ago to explore other worlds."

Ye Liangchen saw Golden Crocodile Douluo glaring at him and immediately retorted.

In the original storyline, these old men from the Hall of Offerings had no presence whatsoever. They only arrived belatedly after the Spirit Hall was defeated, making a brief appearance but serving no purpose whatsoever.

"I've never seen such an arrogant person in my entire life."

At this moment, the group of old men in the offering hall all felt that this young man was incredibly arrogant, but since he had a god protecting him, there was really nothing they could do about him.

"Pfft...!" Bibi Dong looked at the group of old men in the offering hall, who had been scolded by Ye Liangchen and had no temper left. It was so satisfying.

"Little Chen, stop talking, or Grandpa and the others will wish they could find a hole to crawl into."

Seeing the extremely awkward expressions on the faces of her grandfather and the elders of the Hall of Offerings, Qian Renxue reached out and pulled Ye Liangchen, asking the little guy to save face.

"Young friend Ye is right. Everyone should be more careful from now on."

"Qianjun and Jiangmo, you two will have to make this difficult trip. Together with Shemao and Citun, you will protect Xue'er. You must both disguise yourselves as ordinary people, especially Jiangmo, you must put away your arrogance."

Qian Daoliu directly arranged for the two brothers, who possessed the Panlong Staff martial spirit, to protect Qian Renxue, just in case.

"Yes, brother!"

Jiangmo and Qianjun were happy to take on this task, and they could also go out for a walk while they were at it.

"You all leave first, I need to talk to Young Friend Ye about something."

Qian Daoliu intended to ask Ye Liangchen some questions about the divine realm and the angel gods, so he dismissed the people from the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders.

"Young friend Ye, how much do you know about the realm of gods and other worlds?"

"I've prayed at the Temple of Angels for years without any response. Do you know what the Angel God is like?"

In front of Ye Liangchen, Qian Daoliu felt that his understanding was like that of a child.

"The Goddess of Life told me that the God Realm manages 108 planets with life, and Douluo Star is just one of them."

"As for the current God Realm, after the Dragon God War, there is no Supreme God. There are only five God Kings: Life, Destruction, Evil, Goodness, and Asura. The others are all first-level gods, second-level gods, third-level gods, and so on, as well as countless divine officials. Those are all small fry."

"Angels, sea gods, and Rakshasa gods are all first-level gods, and among them, they are considered to be among the more powerful..."

"Senior, you have prayed to the Angel God in the Temple of Angels all these years without any response, because the Angel God was killed long ago."

Ye Liangchen rambled on and on, giving Qian Daoliu a crash course on the knowledge of the God Realm.

"What? The... the angel god is dead?"

When Qian Daoliu heard that the Angel God had been killed, he was immediately shocked.

"The angel god was killed? How is that possible?... "

Qian Renxue collapsed to the ground, utterly bewildered.

"What's so strange about that? The realm of gods is much like our world. People there fight and kill each other for their own benefit, which is quite normal."

"Angel God doesn't have a powerful backer and is arrogant, so it's normal for her to be targeted by other gods. For example, Rakshasa God and Angel God are enemies, so she would take action against them. Rakshasa God is a first-level god under Asura God."

"Poseidon could also be one of the murderers, because your Spirit Hall attacked Poseidon Island back then. Of course, this is just my speculation."

"Although the Sea God and the Angel God are acquaintances, due to the stupidity and ignorance of your Spirit Hall, you dared to attack Sea God Island. That is the Sea God's dojo, and he is watching from the God Realm. Although he cannot come down to destroy your Spirit Hall, he can join forces with other gods to kill the Angel God."

"That old bachelor Poseidon is at the peak of a first-level god, stronger than the Angel God. He's also good friends with that old bachelor Asura God. It would be too easy for him to team up with others to kill the Angel God."

Ye Liangchen's analysis of the cause of the angel god's death also made Qian Daoliu understand that gods are actually nothing special.

"Xiao Chen is absolutely right."

Bibi Dong found the death of the Angel God quite normal. She had always hated people with angelic martial souls, and now she understood that it was mainly due to the Rakshasa Divine Thought.

Bibi Dong felt that although the Spirit Hall looked very powerful now, it might really collapse if it didn't have the support of a god.

"No wonder the angel statue never responded; it turns out the angel god is dead."

At this moment, Qian Daoliu seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and he felt ashamed of his ignorance.

"Little Chen, can I still become a god?" Qian Renxue felt very hopeless about becoming a god after hearing that the Angel God was dead.

"Theoretically, it's impossible, because without a god to help you undergo divine trials, you cannot become a god unless a god helps you undergo those trials, then it's possible."

Ye Liangchen knew that Qian Renxue was able to activate the divine test in the original story because it was all the Sea God's doing, especially the test with the golden liquid, which was deliberately done by the Sea God to disgust the Angel God.

"Young friend, do you have a way to make Xiaoxue a god?" Qian Daoliu rushed up to Ye Liangchen and asked eagerly.

"Yes! I'll ask the goddess to help Sister Xue start the divine test."

"Senior, you must be careful. Do not let Sister Xue start the divine test without my permission. Otherwise, that old bachelor Sea God might interfere and put some strange tests on Sister Xue, such as tests to kill her parents or grandfather. The purpose is to disgust the Angel God."

Although Ye Liangchen had spoken to the Sea God beforehand, that old bachelor was shameless and might interfere.

"Okay! We'll do whatever you say."

Qian Daoliu can only place his hopes on Ye Liangchen now.

"Little Chen, you scared my heart out!"

Seeing that this little guy had a way to help her, Qian Renxue thought to herself with a hint of coquettishness: "I knew you would scare your older sister. Next time I will definitely take you to the secret room and keep you there for three days, so you can see how powerful your older sister is."

"Do you have any more questions, senior? If not, I'm going back to sleep!"

Ye Liangchen helped Bibi Dong completely control the Spirit Hall, and his goal can be considered achieved.

"there is none left!"

"Young friend Ye, why don't you just join the Spirit Hall? You can become the Holy Son, and we'll all listen to you."

At this moment, Qian Daoliu really wanted to hand over the entire Spirit Hall to Ye Liangchen for management.

"Great Elder, Xiao Chen's goal is the universe, the seas and the stars. What is a mere Holy Son of the Spirit Hall compared to that?"

Bibi Dong reminded him from the side, thinking to herself: If the little guy were willing, I would have handed over the entire Spirit Hall to him to manage long ago.

"I'm not interested. I have a lot of things to do, so I'm going back now."

"Goodbye, Sister Xue. Be careful when you infiltrate the Heavenly Dou Empire."

Ye Liangchen bid farewell to Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, and then, with Ye Cailan, followed Bibi Dong back to their residence.

As soon as the three left the Papal Palace, the titled Douluo from the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders immediately entered.

"Big brother, isn't it too hasty to hand over all the power of the Spirit Hall to Bibi Dong like this?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo was very unwilling, especially since he had been humiliated by Ye Liangchen. He felt that the young man was plotting against the entire Spirit Hall.

"Grandpa Jin'e, I know you lost face because of Little Chen, but you were in the wrong first, so you deserved it. Only by handing over the Spirit Hall to my mother can we gain Little Chen's support."

"Everyone remember this: from now on, no one is allowed to make a move on Xiao Chen, including those around him, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Qian Renxue warned the titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall not to have any ideas.

"Xue'er, don't worry! Everyone knows their limits. With that kid's methods, it's good enough that he doesn't bully us."

"Speaking of which, that kid cured Bibi Dong, so he can be considered a great benefactor of the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, if Bibi Dong had inherited the Rakshasa God, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Qian Daoliu assured Qian Renxue that no one in the Spirit Hall would dare to mess with that little guy, and besides, no one had the strength to provoke him.

"Xue'er, what is your relationship with that boy?" Qian Daoliu was unaware that Qian Renxue had already secretly met Ye Liangchen.

"My mother has already recognized him as her godson, so naturally we are siblings. Moreover, the reason my relationship with my mother was able to reconcile is because Xiao Chen dispelled the Rakshasa spirit from her, making her mind normal and curing her heart disease. Otherwise, my mother and I would still be in a state of hostility, and I don't know when it would end."

Qian Renxue revealed that Bibi Dong had recognized Ye Liangchen as her godson, allowing everyone to truly understand the relationship between Ye Liangchen and the Spirit Hall. However, she dared not reveal the matter of her own little one in the secret chamber.

"Ah! Bibi Dong actually recognized that prodigy as her godson? No wonder she personally went to the Heaven Dou Empire before the Soul Master Competition started, so that's why."

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, everyone suddenly realized why Bibi Dong had undergone such a significant change in the past two years.

"Hehe...! That's good now. With this connection, we can rest assured. Everyone listen carefully: from now on, both the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Elders must obey the Pope's orders and are not allowed to outwardly comply but inwardly defy him."

Qian Daoliu actually felt somewhat indebted to Bibi Dong, as that woman was, in a sense, his grand-disciple. It was all his fault for his mentally unstable son's despicable act of forcibly taking her to a secluded chamber, nearly bringing annihilation upon the Spirit Hall. Now, seeing Bibi Dong rescued, Qian Daoliu felt a deep sense of relief.
