Su Yuntao looked at the two sides entering the arena and said, "The Heaven Dou Royal Team's Xiao Wu is off the field. They've sent out their captain, Xiao Tian, a sixty-sixth-level Battle Spirit Emperor with a very special spirit ring configuration of three purple and three black!"
"And the third person sent out by the Spirit Hall Team is—"
At this point, Su Yuntao suddenly stammered. It was his first time seeing Qian Renxue and knowing her specific information.
Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Tian, her eyes filled with interest as she said, "Qian Renxue, SpiritSeraphim, seventy-third-level attack system Battle Spirit Saint! Please guide me!"
As her words fell, the ethereal image of a Seraphim appeared behind Qian Renxue, looking incredibly sacred.
Meanwhile, the crowd outside the arena grew restless.
Chen Xin frowned and said, "Seraphim? Isn't that the exclusive Spirit of the Qian family line? Qian Xunji died more than ten years ago, and I never heard of him having any descendants?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at the person before him, his expression grave: "I wondered why she had a familiar aura about her. So it's that unique aura belonging to an angel. It seems Qian Daoliu is playing a big game, having hidden his son's descendant for so many years. Is it all for this moment?"
Ning Fengzhi felt very puzzled. Hidden for over twenty years, was it merely to make an appearance at the Soul Master Competition?
Hmm... No, if not for Xiao Tian's appearance, perhaps Qian Renxue wouldn't have participated in the Soul Master Competition at all. What exactly is Spirit Hall planning?
Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes, looking at the calm Bibi Dong on the spectator stand.
Shrek Team.
"No, this is impossible! Judging by Qian Renxue's age, I had only recently left Spirit Hall back then. When I was in Spirit Hall, I never saw Qian Xunji having any intimate contact with any woman? Could it be..."
Yu Xiaogang murmured to himself, his face gradually turning pale. He looked at Bibi Dong on the stage with disbelief, his gaze seeming to ask, 'Is this Qian Renxue your daughter?!'
Tang San, seeing his teacher's emotions were off, walked over and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
Yu Xiaogang then snapped back to reality, feigning composure, "Nothing, nothing. I just didn't expect that Spirit Hall, besides Qian Daoliu and the deceased Qian Xunji, would still have a descendant with the SeraphimSpirit!"
Tang San's eyes also darted around. He also felt something was amiss. Before Qian Xunji was severely injured by his father back then, he never heard of him getting married to anyone?
Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, carefully observing Qian Renxue's face. The more he looked, the more familiar she seemed. Although he had never seen Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue's face gave him a strange sense of familiarity.
Oh, that's right! Qian Renxue actually bore some resemblance to Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong!
But rumor had it that Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong were master and disciple, weren't they?
Master and disciple were not allowed to have that kind of relationship; otherwise, it would go against ethics.
The master-disciple relationship was still highly valued in this World. One could only have one teacher in their lifetime, and unless the teacher or disciple committed a major mistake, their relationship could not be dissolved.
No wonder Qian Renxue's existence had to be hidden. Tang San's mind raced, and he quickly guessed the general situation.
But didn't Teacher say that he and Bibi Dong were lovers back then? How could this be...
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, remaining silent. It seemed... his teacher had been cuckolded.
He seemed to see a lush green patch above Yu Xiaogang's head.
It wasn't just Tang San; Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, Dugu Bo, and even Tang Hao in the void, all vaguely had their suspicions. But Bibi Dong's expression was too normal; it was hard to tell if she was feigning composure or what.
On the arena.
Qian Renxue said in a soft tone, "I heard that you haven't encountered an opponent in your cultivation until now? I found out something: didn't you tell someone before that if someone of your generation could defeat you, you would unconditionally agree to one thing for them? The age limit is not over ten years, and I am exactly twenty-three this year!"
Xiao Tian didn't expect Qian Renxue to state this matter so openly. He smiled, "That's right, but if the opponent loses, they must also do something for me."
Everyone present was slightly stunned. When had Xiao Tian ever said that? And how did Qian Renxue know? Could they secretly know each other?
Xiao Wu and the others were also full of doubt. Yu Feng whispered beside them, "Um... aren't you curious about Captain's relationship with this Qian Renxue and Spirit Hall? They look like they're not meeting for the first time."
"Shut up!"
Dugu Yan glared at him, then looked at Xiao Wu and the two girls, "Don't listen to Yu Feng's nonsense."
Xiao Wu shook her head and said, "I trust Brother. Even if they know each other and haven't told us, it means the time isn't right yet."
"Yes, yes, we all trust Xiao Tian!" Ning Rongrong chimed in.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were also somewhat surprised by their daughter and Xiao Wu's performance. They trusted Xiao Tian a bit too much, didn't they?
Qian Renxue revealed a beautiful smile and said, "Then let this match decide the victor. If you lose, after the Soul Master Competition ends, you must join Spirit Hall, become my person, and obey my commands."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Many looked at Xiao Tian with nervous expressions, wondering what choice he would make.
Huo Wu of Blazing Academy even shouted loudly, "Xiao Tian! Don't agree! The opponent is a Spirit Saint; this is very disadvantageous for you!"
Huo Wu didn't know why she spoke up to persuade him. Ever since Xiao Tian defeated her, his image had lingered in her mind, refusing to leave.
Feng Xiaotian looked at Huo Wu, a little disheartened, "Sister Huo Wu..."
However, Xiao Tian was deaf to her words, his expression calm: "Alright, but if you lose? What can you do for me?"
Qian Renxue said confidently, "Although I don't believe I will lose, you can state your conditions first."
Xiao Tian thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I haven't thought of it yet. Just remember it. The condition I state, you will definitely be able to fulfill."
"Oh, right, it's a serious condition. Don't overthink it," Xiao Tian added.
Everyone: ...
Qian Renxue: ...
Originally, she hadn't thought anything improper, but now that Xiao Tian said that, the nature of it changed. She looked at Xiao Tian with an unfriendly gaze: "What? Am I not beautiful?"
As Qian Renxue finished speaking, her eyes glanced at Xiao Wu and the two girls.
She confidently believed her beauty was not inferior to any woman present, including Bibi Dong, as Bibi Dong was older than her.
Xiao Tian: ...
No, he found that sometimes these women just liked to act up. Oh, no, it should be said they just liked to compare.
If he had had that kind of thought about Qian Renxue from the beginning, she would definitely have a bad impression of him, even disgust. But now she thought he lacked charm. If he truly believed she had fallen for him at this point, he would be too naive. This was just her not wanting to admit defeat, feeling she had lost face.
