Chapter 6: Become Qian Renxue's Fiancé, and the Gift Is a 90,000-Year Soul Bone!
Although Ye Han was unwilling to become the disciple of this crazy woman, the current situation was beyond his control.
Bibi Dong was the kind of lunatic who would destroy herself if she couldn't get what she wanted. If he dared to refuse her, he would disappear the next day.
Unless Qian Daoliu was willing to come forward and force him to be his disciple… But looking at Qian Daoliu's current soft attitude, it was probably impossible. He didn't even care that his own son had been killed by Bibi Dong—how could Ye Han count on him?
"Sigh…"
Ye Han felt bitter in his heart, but had no choice. He stepped forward and respectfully saluted:
"Disciple Ye Han, meets Teacher!"
Bibi Dong's face was full of pride, and she cast a provocative look at Qian Daoliu.
This made Qian Daoliu and his followers gnash their teeth in secret, but they dared not speak out. After all, none of them had twin martial spirits, and none were confident they could teach Ye Han better.
"Good disciple, follow the master."
Bibi Dong retracted her provocative gaze and playfully extended her jade hand toward Ye Han.
Ye Han glanced at Ling Yuan, who had helped him before, and hesitated to take Bibi Dong's hand. This small hesitation gave Qian Daoliu an idea, and he suddenly spoke:
"Wait!"
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, obviously displeased.
"Is there anything else, Great Priest?!"
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"You are indeed the most suitable person to teach Ye Han, but as I've said before… As the Pope, you are too busy with affairs and may neglect him, right?"
"Xiao Han's talent is unique in the history of the entire continent. You can't just let him study in the academy on weekdays like you taught Hu Liena?"
"In my opinion, you can choose one of the many elders or priests to be his personal deputy teacher. And this deputy teacher will also be his personal bodyguard, to ensure his safety at all times."
"After all, once his identity as the Holy Son is announced, it will definitely cause a sensation across the continent and attract hostile forces. He must be protected."
The priests nodded in agreement. His words made sense.
Bibi Dong's face darkened. Her eyes blazed with fire.
That old man—if he couldn't snatch Ye Han away, now he was trying to control her authority by assigning a teacher?
If she arranged a personal teacher for this kid, it would be difficult to completely control him!
However, many elders here were loyal to her. She didn't believe Ye Han would choose someone from Qian Daoliu's faction.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bibi Dong decided to play along and said:
"What the Great Priest said does make sense. But this personal deputy teacher should be chosen by the little guy himself!"
Qian Daoliu nodded confidently and looked toward the priests and elders:
"Everyone, introduce yourselves to this little guy."
As he said this, he cast a meaningful glance at Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan understood immediately and stepped forward with a smile:
"I'll go first. I am the Fifth Elder of Spirit Hall, named Ling Yuan."
"I am a Level 92 Titled Douluo, with the spirit of Fiery Spirit Yuan, and my title is Ling Yuan."
"Xiao Han, if you choose me, I will teach you well—and love you dearly!"
Ye Han immediately understood that this was Qian Daoliu's arrangement. Once she finished speaking, he quickly ran over, took her hand, and said:
"Then I want Sister Ling Yuan to be my personal teacher! Disciple Ye Han, greets Teacher Ling Yuan!"
Qian Daoliu smiled with satisfaction, feeling secretly proud.
Bibi Dong's face turned livid.
So this was Qian Daoliu's plan all along. She had fallen into his trap!
The nine elders of Spirit Hall were divided into three factions: the neutral faction, the pro–Qian Daoliu faction, and the diehard faction.
Ling Yuan belonged to the faction close to the Great Priest.
Ling Yuan becoming the boy's assistant teacher was clearly meant to limit her influence!
"Hahaha! In that case, Ling Yuan will be Xiao Han's personal teacher and bodyguard."
Qian Daoliu laughed triumphantly, then added:
"Oh, by the way, I have another decision to announce."
"I've decided to have Xiao Han marry into our Spirit Hall and become Qian Renxue's fiancé!"
The entire hall fell silent.
Everyone was so shocked by the sudden proposal that they were speechless.
Even Ye Han was stunned.
Qian Daoliu gave him his granddaughter just to tie him down?!
"What?!"
Bibi Dong exclaimed, questioning:
"Great Priest, do you know what you're saying?!"
Qian Daoliu responded firmly:
"Of course I know. And to show the sincerity of our Spirit Hall, I am willing to present a 90,000-year-old light-attributed head soul bone as a wedding gift!"
With that, he took out a wooden box from his soul guide.
When he opened it, a head soul bone glowing with golden light was revealed.
There was an uproar in the hall once again.
A 90,000-year soul bone—this was a treasure that even Titled Douluo dream of!
Not to mention, this was the rarest head soul bone. It was simply priceless!
Taking it out so generously showed that he was serious and held this matter in great regard.
Qian Daoliu stepped forward, handed the wooden box to Ye Han, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Han, this is the soul bone from the head of the 90,000-year-old 'Light Asian Dragon'. It's for you."
"Are you willing to marry into our Spirit Hall and become my granddaughter's fiancé?"
Then, as if remembering something, he added awkwardly:
"But... she should be ten years older than you. You don't mind, right?"
Ye Han's eyes lit up immediately.
Only a fool would refuse—he would gain the soul bone and become Qian Renxue's husband!
Moreover, with Qian Daoliu backing him, revenge on his enemies would be twice as effective with half the effort.
"Great Priest, ten years is nothing. Don't worry, I'll take care of your granddaughter for the rest of her life!"
Ye Han accepted the soul bone and nodded repeatedly, answering righteously.
"Hahaha! Then it's settled! When there's a chance, I'll take you to meet my granddaughter!"
Qian Daoliu was very pleased that Ye Han agreed, and he cast a proud glance at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong glared at Qian Daoliu but had no reason to object. She could only respond coldly:
"Hmph! Since the Great Priest has made his decision, I won't say anything more."
"Elder Ling Yuan, please take good care of him. Tomorrow, I will personally take him to hunt spirit rings."
"When we return, I will personally preside over the ceremony to confer him as the Holy Son. No one else needs to interfere!"
With that, Bibi Dong turned and left angrily, leaving behind a cold and proud figure.
After walking out of the Awakening Hall, she looked at Ghost Douluo, who had followed her, and ordered sternly:
"Elder Ghost, I'll give you three days to investigate the boy's background!"
Then, she turned to Ju Douluo, who also followed her, and ordered:
"Elder Ju, I remember you once said you hunted a mysterious evolutionary soul bone? Bring it to the Pope's Hall later!"
Ghost Douluo nodded and left. Yue Guan hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded respectfully and left as well.
After the two were gone, Bibi Dong looked back at the Awakening Hall and muttered angrily to herself:
"Qian Daoliu… there's still a long way to go. Let's take our time and play."
"As long as I want something, I will get it!"
"If I really can't get it… then I'll destroy it. Hahahaha!"
As she said this, her beautiful face twisted into a ferocious and mad expression—it was chilling to witness.
After sending away the "plague god" Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu gently patted Ye Han's head and said to Ling Yuan:
"Ling Yuan, arrange a place for Xiao Han to rest."
"I want to discuss the marriage between Xiaoxue and Xiao Han with all the priests."
