Chapter 25: Meeting Gift
Seeing his guilty look, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but think of the last move of their fight just now.
If I hadn't been so old and blurry, I'd have thought this guy was taking advantage of my granddaughter! No, this little bastard definitely was!
Otherwise, why would he have such an expression! But then again...does a seven-year-old kid have any concept of the difference between boys and girls?
Qian Renxue is sixteen years old and can be considered a grown-up girl. His body has developed better due to his body training, but it cannot change the fact that he is only seven years old.
Qian Daoliu couldn't keep up with his thoughts for a moment. He stared at Qin Zhuo for a long time before speaking:
"Your sister Xue was just giving you a break! But you, not only did you sneak up on her, you even used heavy force!"
"No, I didn't use any force! I..."
"Why don't you apologize to your sister Xue!"
Qin Zhuo wanted to refute, but Qian Daoliu didn't give him any chance and directly blocked his words.
"Grandpa, I didn't let him go. If he really wanted to fight me, I wouldn't be able to defeat him without using my martial spirit. Forget about the apology. I'm fine."
Qian Renxue stepped forward to persuade him. She could feel that her grandfather and Qin Zhuo got along very naturally. In comparison, they were more like a grandfather and grandson than with her, his granddaughter.
"Well, just consider it a meeting gift..."
Qian Daoliu just wanted to find a way out and put the matter behind him, but he didn't expect that neither of the two little guys would cooperate.
However, Qin Zhuo remembered one thing. He had collected a lot of good things from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Due to the unique power of the Immortal Herbs, after he ate two of them, the effects of other Immortal Herbs would be reduced.
Although I don't know the specific situation, I don't understand the effects of medicine, so I can only treat it according to Tang San's understanding.
So now the Immortal Herbs on him feel a bit useless to him, but they can be used as a gift or something.
Qian Daoliu is already a Level 99 Extreme Douluo. If you ask what he lacks, it is probably only the divine position. Qin Zhuo can't get this, so he should first give some return to Qian Renxue!
As he spoke, a red grass appeared in his hand. It looked very weak and had a simple shape, except that there was a structure shaped like a cockscomb at the top of the leaf.
But if you look closely, you will find that this grass is different. Its leaf veins are actually red-gold, and as soon as Qin Zhuo took it out, the temperature of the entire room increased significantly.
"My martial spirit is primarily lightning-based. This herb has a significant fire attribute, which is perfectly compatible with Sister Xue's six-winged angel martial spirit. It should be able to provide you with assistance."
Qin Zhuo was not in a position to give a comprehensive introduction to this herb. On the one hand, Qian Daoliu had no impression of him having the knowledge to recognize this herb. On the other hand, he really could not remember the specific function of Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower.
All I know is that Ma Hongjun used this thing to purify his own flame. The six-winged angel already has the power to control the holy flame. Although it is not an improvement in the sacred attributes, it is at least something you can connect with.
As for whether there will be any side effects, Tang San was very sincere when dealing with the six monsters in the early stage. Even if the expected effect cannot be achieved, there will be no hidden dangers, so there is no need to worry too much about this.
"Thank you so much."
Qian Renxue was about to refuse, but when she saw Qian Daoliu's eyes, she quickly changed her mind and chose to accept.
Putting aside other things, the scent emitted by this herb is not ordinary. Qian Daoliu naturally hopes that Qian Renxue has more profound capital. After all, she is lurking alone in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Then there is the trust in Qin Zhuo. Although he has never asked, judging from the fact that Qin Zhuo uses herbs nourished by two springs with extreme properties to refine his body, it is obvious that he has made preparations early on.
Moreover, Qin Zhuo has plans for his own cultivation and is very cautious in dealing with things. Since he chose to give this herb to Qian Renxue, he must have considered it beforehand.
That's why he hinted to Qian Renxue to accept this gift.
After Qian Renxue put the cockscomb phoenix sunflower into the soul guide, she chatted with Qian Daoliu for a while. However, this time they were going to infiltrate secretly, so Qin Zhuo and the others couldn't stay for long. Seeing that the time was almost up, the two of them quietly left Heaven Dou City.
"Master, Sister Xue is lurking in Heaven Dou. Was it your idea or the Pope's idea?"
On the way back, Qin Zhuo suddenly asked Qian Daoliu a question. He found that neither Qian Daoliu nor Bibi Dong provided any help to Qian Renxue's hiding.
The only thing that could be considered helpful was that two Titled Douluo were left by her side to ensure her safety. This was done by Qian Daoliu, and Bibi Dong didn't make any move at all.
"Neither. This is Xiaoxue's own choice! Perhaps it's to gain her approval!"
Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.
Planning the Heaven Dou Empire was Qian Renxue's own idea. At that time, Bibi Dong wanted to strangle her daughter to death.
In order to protect his granddaughter, Qian Daoliu agreed to Qian Renxue's request. On the one hand, it allowed her to temporarily escape the torment of family affection, and on the other hand, it also prevented Bibi Dong from engaging in extreme behavior.
"Xiao Zhuo, I didn't assign you any identity in the Spirit Hall. Do you know why?"
Qian Daoliu stopped flying, landed on a hillside and asked Qin Zhuo a question.
"You don't want me to have closer contact with the Spirit Hall, right?"
Qin Zhuo had thought about this problem. Although he was taken care of meticulously by the seven priests in the Spirit Hall, he was an unknown and unranked existence. Even later, the masters only made him a disciple of someone, rather than a member of the Spirit Hall.
"Sometimes, you really don't act like a seven-year-old child... When I first brought you back, I noticed your soul power talent. I originally wanted you to become a sharp sword for the Spirit Hall!"
"But Xue'er's story taught me that it's incredibly painful for a person to have no choice from the start. So when you chose to leave the Spirit Hall to cultivate, I also made a choice, which was to let you see and experience it for yourself, and then make your own choice."
"When you have a clear understanding of this world, it is up to you to decide whether to return to the Spirit Hall or remain alone."
Qian Daoliu was not very surprised by Qin Zhuo's answer. After all, he had already shown his overly mature nature in front of him.
"So I'm enjoying the treatment Sister Xue deserves, right?"
Qin Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. Although Qian Daoliu didn't say it, he heard something.
"Yes and no. As a grandfather, I want you all to have this choice, but as the Grand Priest of the Spirit Hall, I can't let Xue'er have this choice. This is determined by our identities."
"You don't owe her anything, so don't feel pressured. I'm not telling you this to make you overthink things, but to tell you that the world is vast and you have choices!"
Qian Daoliu waved his hand and said that it was true that he owed Qian Renxue, but he was also sincere to Qin Zhuo. He didn't want the people around him to have a grudge because of this conversation.
"Uncle, what you said is meaningless. I may not be a member of the Spirit Hall, but the Priest Hall is my home. You can't abandon me just because you saw your granddaughter! I understand what you mean, so let's go back first! I have prepared gifts for you all!"
Qin Zhuo grinned, put his hands behind his head, and said with a giggle.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu put away his worries and continued to rush towards Spirit City with Qin Zhuo.
As the saying goes, it's the deeds that matter, not the heart. Qin Zhuo would not be confused about this matter. Maybe Qian Daoliu had these and those ideas at the beginning, but over the years, he has just been a kind elder.
I may not be a member of the Spirit Hall, but I am definitely a member of the Priest Hall!
