In a quiet, secluded room within the Spirit Temple of Heaven Dou City, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo waited on the sofa, their brows furrowed.
"Old Ghost, what do you think Salas means? Is there anyone in Heaven Dou City worth keeping us waiting like this?"
Ghost Douluo's expression remained cold, his voice sharp.
"I don't know. Since Salas says there's a big shot, let's wait a bit. Anyway, it's getting late, we'll take Nana back to Spirit City tomorrow."
Hearing his old partner's suggestion, Chrysanthemum Douluo had no objections.
Since this was someone even the Platinum Bishop of Heaven Dou City treated with such seriousness, a little waiting was nothing.
Just then, two figures they hadn't seen for over a decade suddenly appeared before Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo.
"Old Chrysanthemum, Old Ghost, long time no see!"
Snake Spear Douluo looked at his two old friends waiting in the secluded room and couldn't help but smile.
The sudden change in the secluded room startled Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Inside the Spirit Hall, the two hadn't fully activated their senses, making it difficult for them to detect the approach of two beings of equal rank. However, when they finally recognized who it was, both were shocked.
"Serpent Spear? Porcupine Douluo? How come it's you two? Didn't the hall records say you two were already...?"
But Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly realized that since Serpent Spear and Porcupine Douluo were here,
the hall records must be false.
And for two titled elders to fake their deaths and hide, there must be an immense mission at play.
At this moment, behind Serpent Spear and Porcupine Douluo, Qian Renxue emerged from the shadows.
When Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo saw Qian Renxue's appearance, their expressions changed drastically, their pupils contracted sharply, and they were somewhat incredulous.
"You are...?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo
asked, his voice trembling. Qian Renxue's appearance was simply too striking.
As an elder who had lived since the time of Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo could recognize her at a glance.
Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo looked at Qian Renxue, then at Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, and formed a deduction in their minds.
It seems that both the tragic death of the young master of the Qian family and the records of the two elders were a cover-up for a certain mission.
However, to avoid any mistakes, Yue Guan and Gui Mei still wanted to wait for the other party to produce other things that could prove their identities.
Qian Renxue, understanding their intentions, did not speak, but directly activated her soul power, causing the angel soul imprint to appear on her forehead.
The six-winged angel soul imprint emitted a golden light, making the secret room even brighter.
Holy! Warm! Light!
Seeing this, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo had no more doubts and bowed.
"Greetings, Miss!"
Qian Renxue waved her hand and sat down on the empty sofa next to her.
"Please make yourselves at home, Elders."
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and sat down opposite her.
"I wonder what brings Miss here to see us?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo did not believe that Qian Renxue had come just to chat; she must have other purposes.
Qian Renxue did not answer Chrysanthemum Douluo's question, but instead took out an item from her soul tool.
A flash of golden light appeared, and the object that appeared on the table in front of him made Chrysanthemum Douluo stand up, his eyes filled with infatuation and disbelief.
"The Miraculous Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum!"
Not only Chrysanthemum Douluo doubted his eyes, but even Ghost Douluo exclaimed in surprise.
As partners for decades, how could he not recognize Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul?
However, this was the first time he had seen such a real object.
"Miss, may I touch it?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo reached out his hand with trembling hands, but withdrew it just before touching it, and then asked Qian Renxue with a longing tone.
"Of course, Elder Yueguan, please feel free."
Qian Renxue smiled as she watched Chrysanthemum Douluo's infatuated actions, without stopping him.
After a careful observation, Chrysanthemum Douluo took a deep breath, sat back down on the sofa, and looked intently at Qian Renxue.
"I know that Elder Yueguan loves flowers and plants, so I obtained this Miraculous Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum from my junior brother and presented it to the elder."
After speaking to Chrysanthemum Douluo, Qian Renxue turned to Ghost Douluo and said.
"I've already written to my grandfather, asking him to retrieve a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone from the Hall of Offerings, to be given to Elder Ghost."
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo was moved but speechless.
"Miss, Old Ghost and I are unworthy of such a generous gift; please accept it."
Qian Renxue shook her head, saying to the two,
"You two elders have toiled tirelessly for the Hall over the years, yet His Holiness the Pope has not offered you any real reward."
"I truly feel a pang of conscience, so please accept these two gifts."
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo hesitated again; they simply couldn't refuse what Qian Renxue offered.
This was a treasure that could break through their bottlenecks! Not to mention the effect of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum on Chrysanthemum Douluo,
the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone Qian Renxue promised could potentially break through Ghost Douluo's level 95 bottleneck, which had been locked for over a decade.
However, accepting Qian Renxue's gifts meant exchanging themselves from Bibi Dong for Qian Renxue, or rather, the Hall of Offerings.
This made it difficult for both of them to decide, since their current status was essentially due to Bibi Dong's promotion, even though it didn't really bring them any benefits.
But in the eyes of others, they were indeed in the Pope's camp.
The two exchanged a long glance, having made up their minds.
If Bibi Dong couldn't offer them any benefits in the past, she probably wouldn't in the future either.
Since that was the case, why not align themselves with Qian Renxue?
After all, they were both serving the Spirit Hall and this mother and daughter, so there was no difference.
Besides, Qian Renxue was the first legitimate heir of the Spirit Hall.
Thinking this, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood up and knelt on one knee before Qian Renxue.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei."
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. Please give us your orders in the future."
Qian Renxue raised her hands in a gesture of respect to the two.
"Please rise, Elders. No need for such formalities."
"You may continue as usual, Elders. However, if there is a need in the future, we hope you will make the right choice."
"Oh, by the way, if you encounter Mu Ci, Elders, treat him as you would treat me."
"His words are my words."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance, without much doubt.
"Yes, sir."
After Chrysanthemum Douluo left, Porcupine Douluo asked Qian Renxue with some doubt,
"Miss, although Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are extremely important pillars in the palace, is it necessary to spend so much?"
Both the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and the Soul Bone are peerless treasures, rare gems in the world.
"Since my brother thinks it's worth it, then I'll support him. Besides, it's a good opportunity to win over two Title Douluos or even Peak Douluos with Martial Soul Fusion Skills." "
By gradually hollowing out the Pope's support, her face will definitely look very good then."
Qian Renxue imagined the future scene, and her red lips couldn't help but curl up.
"I will definitely prove it to you, my dear sister."
