Qian Renxue's words fell, and the great hall fell into a brief silence.
A moment later, the aged voice of the Porcupine Douluo finally sounded, "Young Master, rest assured, I will surely relay your words to the Great Priest without missing a single one."
Qian Renxue still did not turn around, but she responded, "Thank you, Porcupine Elder."
However, this time, there was no reply from the Porcupine Douluo out of the darkness.
Qian Renxue knew that the Porcupine Douluo had already left.
"Snake Lance Elder."
"At your service."
At the call of Qian Renxue, the Snake Lance Douluo, clad in Golden Armor, strode forth like a shooting star.
He clasped his hands in salute, bowing to Qian Renxue, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"The words Ning Fengzhi spoke earlier, you must have heard them as well, right?"
Without missing a single one."
"Good."
Upon receiving the Snake Lance Douluo's affirmative response, Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction, "Then now, I must trouble the Elder to take a trip, find the Poison Douluo, and bring back the girl related to Qin Xiao. He once helped me, so consider this my repayment for his assistance."
The Snake Lance Douluo's gaze flickered; he really wanted to advise Qian Renxue to be calm. But he also understood, even if he were to speak, would the Young Master listen to him?
No, it was impossible.
Qian Renxue's voice was not loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable tone.
Since he came to Qian Renxue's side, it was the first time he felt Qian Renxue so resolutely determined to do something.
"Young Master, rest assured, I will not fail your expectations."
The Snake Lance Douluo replied solemnly, and then resolutely rose to leave the great hall.
This time, the great hall was truly empty.
Apart from Qian Renxue, there was no one else.
She slowly turned around, and unbeknownst to her, her face was already covered in tears.
She never thought that in this world, aside from Qiandaoliu, there would be a man who could make her so heartbroken.
...
Elsewhere.
Du Gu Bo also brought people to the Icefire Polarized Eyes.
"Dean, why have we come here?"
Meng Yiran asked, puzzled.
Zhu Zhuqing was even more doubtful after looking around, "Your Highness, why aren't you here?"
She knew about the relationship between Du Gu Bo and Qin Xiao, so when Du Gu Bo brought them here, she did not refuse.
But now, the most crucial person was missing.
She couldn't help but ask and think more.
"Yiran, Zhu Qing, there's something I think you should know...."
Liu Erlong's eyes shimmered with unshed tears.
"Dean, what exactly happened?"
Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran both looked at Liu Erlong, their eyes filled with questions.
"It's, it's...."
Liu Erlong began to speak, but no matter what, she could not continue.
She remembered the scene of parting with Qin Xiao and felt so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.
She hadn't expected that such a goodbye would be forever.
"Ah, let me do the talking."
Du Gu Bo glanced at Liu Erlong, unable to suppress a sigh, then proceeded to recount the events that had happened, "I know you might not be able to accept this, but since the battle has stopped for a long time, if Qin Xiao were alive, he would have gone to Blue Tyrant Academy or the Icefire Polarized Eyes to see you by now."
After Du Gu Bo finished speaking, his eyes also filled with a complex expression.
In contrast, Meng Yiran was stunned, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, and even Meng Yiran widened her eyes, forgetting to blink for a long while.
To put it simply, the amount of information was just too great.
So great that they simply could not bear it.
Liu Erlong, although making no sound, had tears uncontrollably spilling from her eyes, sliding down her cheeks.
Such a misfortune... Du Gu Bo's gaze swept over everyone, sighing inwardly.
"I know it's hard for you, but if you want to cry, just cry out loud. No one will blame you."
He couldn't help but encourage everyone.
Meng Yiran remained silent.
But Zhu Zhuqing spoke up, "Du Gu Your Highness, do you know who the enemy is?"
Her voice was filled with coldness.
Like the chill of winter wind, it gave a piercing sensation.
"Girl, I know you want to take revenge for Qin Xiao, but with your current Cultivation Level, it's obviously not enough," Du Gu Bo recalled Yu Yuanzhen's peerless figure and felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
A level 99 peak expert, who in the world could be their match?
"Not to mention you all, even I am far from being that person's match."
Du Gu Bo sighed, "Even the ordinary Titled Douluo is not enough."
He wasn't afraid to discourage Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, even suggesting that it would be better for the two to completely despair and give up the idea of revenge.
Although it was overly cruel to Soul Masters, at least it would fulfill Qin Xiao's last wish—to save the lives of both women.
"No, this hatred, even if it costs my life, must be avenged!"
Meng Yiran, who had been silent, said firmly.
"Indeed, even if avenging Qin Xiao costs my life, I will spare no expense," Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, previously lost in confusion, regained their firmness, "Du Gu Your Highness, just tell us what Cultivation Level is needed to take on our enemy?"
She no longer asked Du Gu Bo to reveal the enemy right then and there.
But her determination was clear.
Du Gu Bo did not speak, instead, he looked at Liu Erlong.
A woman understands a woman better, especially since Liu Erlong was also one of Qin Xiao's women.
"Enough, enough," Liu Erlong sighed, "Even if you don't find out today, you will eventually know. The enemy is the leader of my Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen!"
"And the Xingluo Empire, they were accomplices too!"
