Chapter 154 Du Gu Bo's Pride, Qian Renxue's Sincerity_2

Qin Xiao couldn't help but rub his brow.

According to the original work mentioned, the Snake Spear was also known as the shame of the Titled, having been challenged by the Soul Douluo level Yang Wudi. Such a Titled Douluo in terms of cultivation level was about equal to Du Gu Bo.

"Right, Qin Xiao, how did you survive?"

Recalling the battle between Qin Xiao and Yu Yuanzhen, Du Gu Bo felt terrified.

Asking himself, under such a powerful attack, it would have been enough to kill him several times over.

"Hahaha, how should I put it... I can only tell you one thing, and that is 'the lucky ones have their own way.'"

Qin Xiao laughed and shrugged.

The existence of the Thunder Emperor Spirit was the fundamental reason he could establish himself in this world.

It was even more important to him than that brain-damaged, delayed reaction "dog system" in his eyes.

"Just you?"

"And the lucky one's way?"

Du Gu Bo clearly didn't believe a word of Qin Xiao's, contemptuously curling his lips, "You've done nothing but evil deeds; it would be a wonder if you didn't get struck by heavenly thunder... no..."

He changed his words, "You often get struck by heavenly thunder and yet you still don't die. That fits the saying, 'Good people don't live long, a scourge lasts for a thousand years.' You are the biggest scourge on Soul Land."

Hearing Du Gu Bo's infuriated words, Qin Xiao chuckled, "Haha, Du Gu Bo, you're quite something, still having the energy to argue with me. I think you won't die so easily, so just focus on healing. I'm leaving."

"You're leaving just after you came back? Where to?"

Du Gu Bo frowned.

This time, Qin Xiao did not hide his intentions, "I'm going to find the Snakelance Douluo, to ask what grudge he really has against me."

"You, kid, can find that guy holding the snake spear?" Du Gu Bo's eyes widened.

Qin Xiao nodded, "Just wait for my message."

After speaking, he turned and left the cave.

"Be careful."

From behind Qin Xiao, Du Gu Bo's voice faintly came through.

...

Night fell.

Within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Qian Renxue was drunk to the point of stupor.

"Alas, little did I expect Qin Xiao to have left such a deep shadow in the Young Master's heart."

Snakelance Douluo was hiding in the shadows, watching over Qian Renxue. He had witnessed her actions over the past few days.

Ever since Qin Xiao's death, Qian Renxue would drown herself in drink every night.

The next day, she would act as if nothing had happened, dealing with all matters of the Tiandou Empire.

It seemed that only at night did she belong to herself.

"Qin Xiao, I'm sorry, I still failed to protect the most important person by your side."

With that, Qian Renxue took another drink.

But at that moment, a gust of wind rose.

The doors of the Imperial Palace Hall were blown open by the fierce wind.

Qian Renxue lifted her head to look outside the hall.

Suddenly, she was taken aback.

A figure entered her vision, and her eyes instantly filled with tears.

"Qin Xiao, you, you've returned!"

She casually wiped her cheeks, clearing away the tears.

Then she smiled broadly, "I didn't expect that I still hold some place in your heart, that on the night of the Seven Souls Return, you would come to see me,"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao inwardly exclaimed, good lord, Qian Renxue didn't even consider him a person anymore.

Suddenly, Qin Xiao had an idea and spoke in a ghostly voice, "I died a horrible death..."

At these words, the tears on Qian Renxue's cheeks streamed down her face, "Qin Xiao, I've already sent people to plead with my grandfather to kill the murderer and comfort your spirit in heaven."

Qin Xiao: "???"

With a forehead full of question marks, he hadn't expected Qian Renxue to do such a thing.

"Qin Xiao, there's something I'm sorry for. I couldn't save Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, two young girls who had a special relationship with you. I let them fall into Du Gu Bo's clutches...."

Qian Renxue sighed softly.

However, when she looked at Qin Xiao again, her eyes were filled with determination, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not being able to protect them. I, Qian Renxue, am not an ungrateful person. If there is anything else you want, just say it, and I will help you with all my strength. Also, I won't give up on Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran's matter. As long as they are still alive, I will definitely rescue them."

"What?"

After hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qin Xiao's face showed a look of shock, and he thought to himself, what a situation.

It's really like a flood that has washed over the Dragon King Temple, family doesn't recognize family.

It turned out that Snakelance Douluo was acting under Qian Renxue's orders, seeking Du Gu Bo to retrieve people, and his purpose was actually to protect Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran....

Of course, Qin Xiao knew he was also responsible for such a huge misunderstanding. After all, apart from those close to him, even Ning Fengzhi didn't know about his relationship with Du Gu Bo.

"Your Highness, he, he's not a ghost, he is the real Qin Xiao."

Just then, a voice sounded, breaking the strange atmosphere between Qin Xiao and Qian Renxue.

Following the voice, Snakelance Douluo emerged from the shadows.

His face was green, his steps unsteady, and his breath was chaotic; it was clear that he was suffering from serious injuries.

"Snake Lance Elder, what, what did you just say?"

Qian Renxue seemed unable to believe what she had just heard.

Snakelance Douluo pointed at Qin Xiao and said, "Young Master, what I'm saying is, Qin Xiao is still alive, he's not dead. Look at the even rise and fall of his chest, and the flow of Soul Power around him."

What?

Not dead!

Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly widened, then she looked at Qin Xiao numbly.

Qin Xiao gave Qian Renxue a slight smile, "Snakelance Douluo is right, I'm not dead, and I'm quite well. So, there's no need for you to seek revenge for me."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue first froze, then her haggard face revealed a look of anger.

"Qin Xiao, you bastard!"

"You knew you weren't dead, why did you deceive me? Why didn't you come to find me sooner? I'm going to fight you."

In a burst of angry curses, Qian Renxue charged towards Qin Xiao with bared teeth and claws.

In contrast, Qin Xiao's eyes showed a hint of helplessness, and deep within them, there was also a hint of sorrow.

He just stood there, letting Qian Renxue pound his chest with her fists.

After all, Qian Renxue wasn't using any Soul Power and for the tough-skinned Qin Xiao, it was no different than the bite of a mosquito.

He knew that Qian Renxue's actions were more a form of venting, so he just let her be.

After a while.

Qian Renxue seemed to be tired, she stopped her assault, and instead buried her head in Qin Xiao's chest.

"You bad guy, why didn't you tell me sooner that you were still alive? Do you know how worried I was?"

Qian Renxue was also an open-minded person, now that Qin Xiao had seen her true face, she no longer hid it.

"I..."

"I was also seriously injured, and it was only today that I've started to recover..."

Qin Xiao explained.

"What, you were seriously injured?"

Qian Renxue panicked, broke free from Qin Xiao's embrace, and started examining him from head to toe.

"No need to look, I'm fine now. The internal injury was quite serious, and I can't exert my full strength for now,"

"I need to go to a place, and I'll be healed when I return."

This time, Qin Xiao wasn't making up stories, but was telling Qian Renxue some facts.

Phew... Qian Renxue took a deep breath and felt somewhat relieved.

"By the way, Qin Xiao, I need to say sorry for what I said earlier."

"Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran were taken by Du Gu Bo. I once sent Snake Lance Elder to rescue them but ended up seriously injuring both him and Du Gu Bo."

When Qian Renxue mentioned Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, her expression darkened, "But don't worry, I've already sent people to continue tracking Du Gu Bo's whereabouts, and once I find something, I will seek help from the Martial Soul Hall if I have to, to save them for you!"

Qin Xiao, upon hearing this, stared intently into Qian Renxue's eyes, "Why are you helping me so much?"

Without hesitation, Qian Renxue answered, "I, Qian Renxue, owe you, Qin Xiao, a lot of gratitude, no matter whether those favors were intentional or casual, I remember them all. Given the chance, I will repay them."

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qin Xiao was moved.

"There's no need to go to such lengths."

"Why, do you think there's no chance they are still alive?" Qian Renxue asked anxiously.

Seeing her anxious expression, Qin Xiao suddenly smiled, "No more pretending, let's be straight, Du Gu Bo is one of my people."
