Chapter 2716: The Hidden Secret_1

Xu Sheng didn't give a direct answer, but teased instead, "What are you thinking? Haven't I told you that you'll become my wife in the future? We'll have plenty of time together."

Perhaps saying this could make the other party feel less sad.

As expected, Qian Renxue's attention shifted to these words, temporarily forgetting her previous sadness...

Blushing, she said, "Who wants to become your wife? Besides... besides, we aren't even of marriageable age yet!"

Apart from these, she hadn't admitted to liking him...

Of course, she definitely had a fondness for him, just not to that extent yet!

Little did she know, her reply made Xu Sheng reflect on something, "Marriage, huh... If I remember correctly, we never went through that process."

He vaguely remembered that when he attained godhood from the Life God and the Destruction God, Qian Renxue also broke through to the God Rank!

Because of this, they didn't bother to have a formal wedding in the Lower Realm...

Seeing that Xu Sheng was not responding, Qian Renxue exclaimed in astonishment, "Xu Sheng? What are you thinking about? You aren't seriously considering marriage, are you?"

Otherwise, why would he not respond to her?

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly and countered, "Ren Xue, do you think marriage is important?"

If necessary, perhaps this return to the past could be a good opportunity to make it up to her!

Qian Renxue's eyes widened, "Eh? Even... even if you ask me that, it's... it's hard for me to answer."

Could this conversation be a confession?

Xu Sheng looked away, "Hard to answer? Then let's drop it."

Maybe Qian Renxue, born in the Worship Hall, didn't care about such formalities!

However, Qian Renxue murmured softly, "Marriage... actually, as long as I'm with the person I love, it isn't strictly necessary!"

This is so embarrassing. What's gotten into me today, to have my emotions swayed by just a few words!

Xu Sheng didn't linger on the topic, "Hmm, I think I get the idea, but let's talk about you now."

Qian Renxue came back to her senses, puzzled, "Me?"

Xu Sheng nodded earnestly, "Yes, the things you have done, Xue Ye hasn't noticed anything strange, has he?"

If something had happened, it would most likely have been because of her!

Qian Renxue thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "Well, to be honest, I thought I had exposed myself, but when I met Xue Ye yesterday, he didn't seem to suspect anything!"

She paused, then continued with a hint of gratitude, "Of course, that's thanks to you, Xu Sheng! If you hadn't shared your situation with Xue Ye, he would have definitely followed this thread and investigated further!"

Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "No, I should be the one saying thank you for risking exposure to use Xue Ye."

Porcupine Douluo, who had been hiding in the shadows, naturally heard their entire conversation very clearly...

He immediately complained, "The conversations between Holy Daughter and this kid are getting mushier by the day. I have a feeling they'll really end up as a couple in the future!"

"Grand Elder, what should I do? Should I interfere and split them up?"

.......

At the Worship Hall!

Seeing the returning Serpent Spear Douluo, Qian Dao Liu slightly frowned and chastised, "Serpent Spear, why have you come back? Didn't I ask you to protect Ren Xue at all times?"

In his eyes, the mission of lurking in the Tiandou Empire Palace was important, but it paled in comparison to the safety of his own granddaughter!

Seeing his reaction, Serpent Spear Douluo answered respectfully, "Rest assured, Grand Elder, with Porcupine and that young man called Xu Sheng there, Holy Daughter will be fine!"

The Grand Elder seemed to sense something and said with surprise, "Oh? It looks like your opinion of Xu Sheng has changed, hasn't it?"

He remembered that previously, the Serpent Spear Douluo could hardly wait to slay Xu Sheng!

Serpent Spear Douluo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with an awkward laugh, "Is... is there? It must be Grand Elder's misperception, I have never let down my guard against that boy!"

"However... I can confirm that he indeed harbors no animosity towards Her Holiness the Holy Daughter!"

Qian Dao Liu's gaze grew sharper, "Hmph, then tell me, why have you come back?"

Only then did Serpent Spear Douluo summon the courage to say, "Grand Elder, actually, regarding that Xu Sheng, there's something I didn't tell you!"

"Buzz!!"

The space around them suddenly distorted!

The tremendous pressure of Qian Dao Liu, a level-99 Ultimate Douluo, instantly descended upon Serpent Spear Douluo...

The latter felt as if he had stepped into a swamp, with even breathing proving immensely difficult!

Still, he gritted his teeth and said, "Grand Elder, please calm your anger, I didn't mean to hide anything intentionally. It was to verify the authenticity of the matter; that's why I didn't report it!!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Dao Liu's expression eased a little, and he dissipated the pressure...

However, his eyes were still terrifyingly cold!!

"If you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you know what the consequences will be!"

Serpent Spear Douluo gasped for air and hurriedly said, "Of course!"

With that, he recounted everything about Xu Sheng...

After hearing all this, Qian Dao Liu's face became unspeakably fearsome!!

Emphasizing his words, he said slowly, "Are you telling me that Xu Sheng is a God, who was forced to travel from the future to now, with the purpose of slaying a creature called the Abyssal Emperor??"

Serpent Spear Douluo confirmed, "Yes... that's correct, that is what Xu Sheng himself said, there is absolutely no fabrication!!"

Qian Dao Liu was silent for a while, then said indifferently, "You wouldn't have the guts to lie!"

Then he began to speak again...

"Since he has traveled back from the future, we definitely cannot use his age to guess his thoughts. Is there anything else worth noting that he mentioned?"

This could also explain why Xu Sheng knew Qian Renxue's real identity and the existence of everyone in the Worship Hall!

Serpent Spear Douluo propped up his chin, his expression quickly becoming awkward...

Qian Dao Liu saw through him at a glance and sharply demanded, "Have you thought of something else? Speak!!"

Just to be cautious, Serpent Spear Douluo still reminded, "Grand Elder, please remain calm when I tell you this!"

However, Qian Dao Liu simply ignored him, "Stop the nonsense, speak!"

Serpent Spear Douluo braced himself for a scolding, "Xu Sheng also said that the Holy Daughter will be his... his wife in the future!"

Surprisingly, Qian Dao Liu did not get angry...

Instead, he carefully dissected the sentence in his mind...

Finally, his face lit up with excitement as he exclaimed, "If Xu Sheng of the future is a God and Xiao Xue will become his wife, does that mean Xiao Xue will also reach God Rank??"

Thinking further about it, this seemed highly possible!

After all, he had already designed a perfect plan for Qian Renxue's ascension to godhood from the moment of her birth!

With this thought, he burst into an unrestrained laughter...

"Hahahaha, very good, excellent!"
