Rubbing his temples, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel helpless as he observed Qian Renxue's anger.

In this naive child's mind, her father, Qian Xunji, has always been viewed as a glorious and majestic figure. Therefore, it's only natural for Qian Renxue to have a terrible view for Bibi Dong and Tang Hao. However, the truth of the matter definitely isn't as she perceives it.

This naive child hasn't even considered the possibility that her mother, Bibi Dong, had no reason to kill Qian Xun Ji. Moreover, Qian Xun Ji relentlessly pursued Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor from thousands of miles away. Did Qian Xun Ji lack a soul ring?

Lu Yuan can confidently say that Qian Xun Ji did not lack soul rings at that time. Qian Xun Ji is a titled Douluo with nine rings..Even if the soul ring of the Blue Silver Emperor was placed in front of him, would he be able to absorb it?

If we truly seek a reasonable explanation, it's likely that he was thinking about that hundred thousand-year soul bone. It's one thing to desire the soul bone, but the problem is that Clear Sky Douluo isn't easy target to deal with. Even when Tang Chen was alive, Qian Daoliu would have found it difficult to confront Clear Sky Douluo.

Unfortunately, Tang Chen is no longer here. Even so, Clear Sky School can still gather the support of the other two schools to resist Spirit Hall. This demonstrates Clear Sky School confidence in their strength.

Sadly, if Tang Hao hadn't taken Ah Yin and escaped, subsequently declaring his departure from Clear Sky School, Lu Yuan suspects that Qian Xun Ji might not have found an opportunity to besiege Tang Hao at all.

Unfortunately, Tang Hao made a foolish choice, and Qian Xun Ji saw an opportunity to attack and led his men in besieging Tang Hao. Lu Yuan won't delve into the subsequent events, as explosive confrontations are a common trope in various novels.

In short, from a certain perspective, Chihiro Ji brought this upon himself. He instigated the conflict, was severely injured by Tang Hao, and was ultimately saved by Bibi Dong. Throughout the entire process, Tang Hao's actions can be considered self-defense, and Bibi Dong's actions can be seen as protecting herself.

Though it may sound outrageous, from a fair standpoint, this is the conclusion. After all, who told Qian Xun Ji to open the secret room? The consequences of his actions are his own to bear. He brought it upon himself.

Shaking off these thoughts, Lu Yuan sighed and flicked the token on the table helplessly. He said, "Alright, stop dwelling on it. I know what you're thinking. But as I told Ning Fengzhi before, many things often turn out differently from what you imagine. Now, can you give me a definitive answer? Will you help me or not?"

Surprised by Lu Yuan's question, Qian Renxue cleared her mind of the various thoughts swirling within and sincerely replied, "I will help."

The requests and troubles presented by Lu Yuan were not difficult for her. A hundred thousand-year-old soul beast is not a rarity for most divine examiners, except for those with twin martial souls like Bibi Dong. With deliberate concealment and the assurance given by Lu Yuan, saving a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast is an easy task.

As for the second request, Qian Renxue couldn't see it as a problem at all. It was more like an opportunity presented to her on a silver platter. Cooperation and support were guaranteed. In Qian Renxue's eyes, how could she pass up such an opportunity?

Then there was the final requirement. "Are you going to the Slaughter City?" Although Qian Renxue didn't know the purpose of the other items, it was clear that the map marked with Slaughter City was meant for experiencing it firsthand, especially considering that Bibi Dong emerged from there.

"Certainly," Lu Yuan nodded, unfazed by her response.

"Why?" Qian Renxue inquired.

"Because there is something there that I need to personally retrieve," Lu Yuan replied, squinting his eyes slightly. He studied the young girl before him for a moment. Qian Renxue sighed softly and nodded in understanding. She then casually asked, "When do you plan to leave?"

"Wait a little longer," Lu Yuan suggested, rubbing his chin uncertainly. "Why don't we discuss it after I return from the Star Duo Forest? We can make plans then."

Qian Renxue responded with a tinge of melancholy, "Let's do that. We've just established a cooperative relationship, and now you're already planning for the future. You're quite carefree!"

Suddenly, Qian Renxue felt a twinge of concern for the princess who was far away in the Star Luo Empire.

Having such a powerful and carefree master, she couldn't decide if it was a blessing or a disaster.

"What? Can't tolerate me?" Lu Yuan asked.

"No. It's just that the transformed soul beast seems insignificant, and you are such an unreliable person," Qian Renxue replied, rolling her eyes with an expressionless face.

Unfortunately, she still bore the appearance of Xue Qinghe, making her look plain at first glance.

"I believe she is worth it," Lu Yuan said, finishing his tea in one gulp, placing the cup down, and adding calmly, "At the very least, I won't let her die again."

Ordinary words, but filled with unwavering determination. His voice gradually faded, and the room fell into silence.

After a while, Qian Renxue calmly picked up the conversation. "She's fortunate," she commented.

Her assessment was apt. The protection and favor of a divine candidate were a great joy for a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast; it was also an invincible life-saving talisman.

However...

A girl's mind is always changing. You never know what she was thinking in one second, nor can you predict her thoughts in the next.

Just like in this moment.

One second they were happily discussing their cooperation, and the next second Qian Renxue inexplicably felt a faint pang of jealousy in her heart.

Hence, her next statement carried a tinge of envy. "She is lucky," she remarked.

"It's just that she chose the right path at the crossroads of fate," Lu Yuan countered slowly.

Qian Renxue smirked coldly. "Are you trying to have a philosophical discussion with me?" she asked.

"Then aren't you curious about my 'surprise gift package'?" Lu Yuan questioned.

"Not curious," Qian Renxue decisively replied, immediately silencing Lu Yuan. He waved his hand in speechless resignation, collected the cups, picked up the Holy Maiden Order from the table, and walked out of the room.

That guy never follows the rules!.

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes, inwardly condemning him angrily. She didn't realize that if she were her true self, she wouldn't experience such intense emotional fluctuations.

"Are you really going to stop talking?" a voice came from behind. Lu Yuan tilted his head, couldn't help but chuckle, and replied, "For now. I'll tell you when I return from the Slaughter City."

"Fine," Qian Renxue huffed. "But you're not going to pique my interest!"

The boy's hearty laughter carried away with the wind.

Pursing her lips, the girl disdainfully put away the teacup left by the other party on the table and arrogantly muttered to herself, "Ignite my curiosity? Dream on! Even if you don't tell me, I'll find out!"
