.
He was just too concerned, it's because Qian Renxue's personality will suffer in the future. "Did you remember this time?"
"You always have this expression."
Qian Renxue turned her head and glanced at Chen Changfeng, giggling, "You're my brother, how can anyone do that? Didn't Grandpa say that with your brother protecting Xiaoxue in the future, Xiaoxue doesn't have to be afraid of anything."
"Stop joking with me."
Chen Changfeng really couldn't do anything with her, and then softened a little and said, "In the future, when you fight someone, no matter what the situation, you must remember to kill the opponent as soon as possible, otherwise you will suffer a great loss in the future."
Qian Renxue is still young and has no idea how difficult the road ahead will be.
Qian Daoliu has done a good job educating her. He agreed to train her together, and for the past year, it has basically been him and Qian Renxue training alone. Now is he going to become a hands-off manager again? The Judgment Elder is a bodyguard of the Spirit Hall, not Qian Renxue's nanny.
A year of getting along.
Chen Changfeng was thoroughly annoyed by Qian Renxue.
This little clingy brat was practically always around him, except when she was sleeping.
"You two little devils, have you had enough?" Just then, a discordant voice rang out.
Chen Changfeng and Qian Renxue turned their heads simultaneously, and there stood the Seventh Elder, the Demon-Slaying Douluo.
Chen Changfeng's face instantly turned red.
Mainly because their current position was a bit awkward.
Although they were young, Qian Renxue was currently pinned to the ground and unable to move, while Chen Changfeng was sitting on her bottom.
Qian Renxue was a child.
He wasn't.
The next second, Chen Changfeng quickly jumped off Qian Renxue, pulling her up as well.
The Demon-Slaying Douluo approached and softly gestured to Qian Renxue, "Young Master, the Grand Elder has important business to discuss with you."
"Alright!"
Qian Renxue grabbed Chen Changfeng's arm, saying, "Brother Changfeng, come with me to see Grandpa."
"Young Master,"
the Demon-Slaying Douluo's eye twitched, "The Grand Elder instructed that you must go see him alone."
Huh?
Qian Renxue's eyes flickered with confusion.
She wondered what was wrong with Grandpa today; usually, she and Brother Changfeng went together.
Chen Changfeng, on the other hand, had a sudden realization. He understood why Qian Daoliu had summoned Qian Renxue alone.
It was probably a Heavenly Dou infiltration.
Qian Renxue might be leaving the Spirit Hall.
It seemed he wouldn't see this girl for a long time.
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment.
She seemed to realize Qian Daoliu's purpose in seeking her out.
A trace of worry instantly crept onto her previously radiant face.
"Grandpa Demon Slayer, Xiaoxue will go see you soon. You should go back now," Qian Renxue finally said after a long pause.
"Yes, I will wait for you in the Hall of Offerings, Young Master,"
Demon Slayer Douluo nodded. He had also noticed Qian Renxue's reluctance to part, and finally, he couldn't help but give Chen Changfeng a deep look, as if reminding him to prioritize the overall situation.
Then he sighed and disappeared.
Chen Changfeng naturally understood the meaning behind Demon Slayer Douluo's look.
However, his worries were unnecessary.
He had already stated a year ago that he would not interfere with any decisions made by the Spirit Hall, and naturally, he would not interfere with Qian Renxue's infiltration of the Heaven Dou Royal Family. All he needed to do was improve his strength as quickly as possible and then clear all obstacles for the Spirit Hall. Clear Sky
Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Slaughter City, Seagod Island.
These sects and forces had long been on Chen Changfeng's list of those to be destroyed.
"Brother Changfeng."
Seeing that the Demon-Slaying Douluo had already gone far away, Qian Renxue turned around, blinking her big eyes, and said, "Um... no matter how long it takes, you'll always remember Xiaoxue, right?"
Qian Renxue's warm and cute voice held a hint of reluctance.
This past year had been the happiest time of her life.
As the nominal Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she was only superficially glamorous; her life was actually worse than that of another girl in the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena, simply because she was a child orphaned and unloved.
Until a year ago, her grandfather gave her a grumpy older brother.
This also allowed her to experience companionship for the first time since being abandoned.
Chen Changfeng took a deep breath, wanting to urge her to leave quickly, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Yes."
He truly couldn't bear to hurt such a fragile heart.
Qian Renxue had been disliked by Bibi Dong since childhood, and was even more of a child abandoned by her. Her ability to grow up smoothly was largely due to Qian Daoliu's protection.
Children always have expectations of their parents. This girl, like herself, endured six years of helplessness and pain; neither of them had the right to choose their birth. Throughout their growth, they experienced a journey from expectation to despair. These experiences, seemingly distant now, have become nightmares buried deep within their hearts.
This is especially true for Qian Renxue.
The lack of love has become her most painful wound, making Chen Changfeng's companionship over the past year the light she chases after.
"Hehe."
Looking up at Chen Changfeng's perpetually slightly disdainful expression, Qian Renxue seemed used to it. She leaped onto Chen Changfeng, wrapping her legs around his lower back and giving him a quick peck on his left cheek. "Little Xue too," she said.
Looking at the genuine smile on Qian Renxue's face and her large, close eyes, he gave her a slightly innocent glare. "Remember what I said. No matter what, the enemy must be destroyed immediately. Never give them any chance to breathe."
"I know!"
Qian Renxue pouted slightly, muttering, "It's always the same thing. He's even more long-winded than Grandpa."
"Get down,"
Chen Changfeng patted Qian Renxue, reminding her, "If you don't go back soon, the Grand Elder will be worried."
Hearing Chen Changfeng's urging,
the smile on Qian Renxue's delicate and lovely face gradually froze.
It was reluctance.
And even more so, a touch of dependence.
But she didn't want to disobey her grandfather's orders. She wanted to prove to Bibi Dong that she wasn't a useless person, so she had to go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Finally, she reluctantly jumped off Chen Changfeng.
Seeing Qian Renxue's pitiful little face, Chen Changfeng's heart softened, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, comforting her, "Let's go. Some things you really need to face yourself. Be brave."
Qian Renxue nodded obediently like a chick pecking at rice.
Only then did she reluctantly leave.
Then, she walked towards the Spirit Hall, turning back every few steps.
Watching Qian Renxue leave, Chen Changfeng felt a strange sense of melancholy. This girl was so stupid; could she possibly complete the Heaven Dou Empire's mission?
Qian Renxue's life was like a tragedy.
Not only was she abandoned as a child, but she spent more than half of her life as an undercover agent, unable to have her own identity, even her appearance was someone else's. Even after she became Qian Renxue, her tragedy seemed to be everywhere. I hope this past year has had some impact on her, so she won't do anything foolish.
But it doesn't matter.
I'll have to clear all obstacles from the Spirit Hall in the future.
Poisoning seems too time-consuming; direct destruction is far more effective.
