Chapter 151 Confident Qiandaoliu_1

Qian Renxue's voice had just fallen.

The Snakelance Douluo emerged from the shadows, clad in a black cloak.

"Reporting to the Young Master, I indeed, based on the information, found Du Gu Bo."

The Snakelance Douluo answered in a deep voice.

"Oh?"

"Then, the Elder should have also found Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran. Where are they now? Where have you placed them?"

Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled.

"Young Master, I..."

The Snakelance Douluo began to stammer.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue frowned and asked, "Elder, has something happened?"

"This subordinate is ashamed... Before I could locate Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, Du Gu Bo discovered me in secret. Thereafter, I had a fierce battle with Du Gu Bo..."

"There's no need to narrate the process, just tell me directly what the result was."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she slowly resumed her seat on the throne, having a bad premonition in her heart.

"The result..."

The Snakelance Douluo had just begun to answer when, after uttering those two words, he suddenly collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

What's going on?

Qian Renxue looked utterly astonished.

The transformation of the Snakelance Douluo had genuinely exceeded her expectations.

Whoosh.

In the next moment, her Soul Power burst forth and she transformed into a golden streak of light, arriving in front of the Snakelance Douluo.

Casually removing the Snakelance Douluo's cloak, Qian Renxue was horrified to discover that his hands, face, and any exposed skin had turned green.

"Elder, what is this!"

Qian Renxue was stunned.

"Poisoned..."

The Snakelance Douluo's speech was no longer clear, and even as he tried to respond to Qian Renxue's question, froth began to spill from his mouth.

"Young Master, stay away from me, I can adjust on my own..."

Then the Snakelance Douluo managed to add.

Frowning, Qian Renxue stepped back two paces upon hearing this.

However, her own Soul Power had already begun to gather, in case the situation turned dire, she would do everything in her power to help the Snakelance Douluo.

As time passed, the Snakelance Douluo's complexion began to return to normal gradually.

Qian Renxue noticed that, aside from a paler complexion, the Snakelance Douluo seemed no different.

"As you can see, Young Master, after injuring Du Gu Bo, I too suffered severe injuries and was poisoned by some unknown substance. I can only rely on my Soul Power to suppress it..."

The Snakelance Douluo spoke bitterly.

To miss the fox yet stir up such a fuss.

Indeed.

That was the perfect description of his situation.

He had failed to keep Du Gu Bo and had even incurred serious injuries on himself.

In contrast, Qian Renxue's expression changed.

She had long heard of Du Gu Bo's combat capabilities, that he only acted violently below the Titled Douluo Level, and within the Titled Douluo rank, any random individual could trounce the Poison Douluo...

Therefore, she had dispatched the Snakelance Douluo, thinking that capturing Du Gu Bo and rescuing Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran from danger would be as easy as picking something up, but now it seemed she had been too naïve.

"Everyone says Du Gu Bo is weak, but the Snakelance Douluo isn't strong either, right? Barely managing a draw with Du Gu Bo?"

Qian Renxue felt that from today onwards, Du Gu Bo won't be lonely anymore.

Who says he's the standard unit among Titled Douluo?

Doesn't it also include a lurking Snakelance Douluo?

In Qian Renxue's view, Du Gu Bo and the Snakelance Douluo could be named the Twin Disasters of the Douluo!

"Young Master, are you worried about my injury?"

Suddenly, Snakelance Douluo felt as if he saw through Qian Renxue's thoughts and hurriedly said, "Young Master need not worry so much, I'm fine. This bit of poison, I can withstand it, at least I can hold on until Porcupine returns. With him here, this poison is nothing at all."

Upon hearing these words, Qian Renxue's mind wavered.

She forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke indifferently, "Since that's the case, Elder, you should go down and recuperate first..."

"Yes."

Snakelance Douluo nodded gravely, then bowed to Qian Renxue and turned to leave.

In the blink of an eye, only Qian Renxue remained in the vast hall.

After a prolonged silence, Qian Renxue whispered to herself in a voice only she could hear, "Qin Xiao, rest assured, I will save Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran no matter what."

"May your spirit in heaven bless them so that Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran remain safe and sound until Porcupine Elder returns."

...

Martial Soul Hall.

Outside the Angelic Hall, Porcupine Douluo felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

Normally, as an Elder of the Martial Soul Hall, he should report any matters to Pope Bi Bidong, not to the Great Priest.

But, after hearing his report, Pope His Holiness said, "I'm not concerned with this matter; go and tell the Great Priest yourself..."

And just like that, he was sent here.

Four days had passed in a blur.

Eating, drinking, relieving himself, sleeping was almost all done outside the Angelic Hall, yet he had not even seen the Great Priest's shadow.

"Boom."

As Porcupine Douluo's mind wandered, the sound of rumbling came, and the tightly closed temple doors were opened.

"He has exited his retreat, the Great Priest has exited his retreat!"

Joy was written all over Porcupine Douluo's face as his gaze fixed on the Angelic Hall.

And indeed.

A figure slowly emerged, none other than Qian Daoliu, the Great Priest of the Martial Soul Hall.

At that moment, Qian Daoliu's gaze also fell upon Porcupine Douluo, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Porcupine pays respects to the Great Priest!"

Porcupine Douluo, noticing Qian Daoliu's gaze, didn't dare wait for Qian Daoliu to ask and hurriedly spoke, "Your Holiness, the Pope sent me to see you, to relay an important message to you."

He got straight to the point.

"Oh," Qian Daoliu nodded subtly, a hint of curiosity in his voice as he asked, "I am quite curious to know, what kind of message have you brought that even the Pope decides not to inquire about?"

"To the Great Priest, it's regarding Qin Xiao," Porcupine Douluo said definitively.

"Qin Xiao?"

First a look of bewilderment flickered across Qian Daoliu's eyes, followed quickly by a flash of realization.

He remembered everything concerning Qin Xiao.

There, Porcupine Douluo just quietly watched Qian Daoliu, waiting for him to process the information brought.

"Let me guess what happened to that fellow Qin Xiao..."

After pondering for a moment, Qian Daoliu guessed, "But that prideful Qin Xiao, after some time to cool off, has come to his senses and accepted the conditions I offered, choosing to join the Martial Soul Hall?"

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, with such prideful young people, you have to handle them just right; you can't let them lead you by the nose. Let me tell you, taming people is just like tempering hawks..."

He was quite pleased with himself.

In his view, by leaving Qin Xiao hanging for a few months, Qin Xiao compromised.

Ah, this...

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Porcupine Douluo felt a frantic panic inside.

With the Great Priest so full of confidence, if I were to speak the truth, wouldn't it be like pouring cold water on him?

If the Great Priest were to get excited and leave me with a full-body fracture, that wouldn't be too much, right?

But, if I don't speak, the punishment for deceiving the Great Priest...

Thinking so, Porcupine Douluo swallowed hard.
