Qian Daoliu's actions naturally attracted the attention of many powerful individuals, especially after witnessing the once invincible Clear Sky Douluo being effortlessly killed by him, which left them even more shocked.
Above a manor several miles away from Chengfeng Hotel, Sword Douluo sighed with emotion.
He never expected that Clear Sky Douluo, who once shook the continent, would meet his end in such a manner.
Even from several miles away, Sword Douluo could still feel an extremely strong oppressive aura from Qian Daoliu.
This made him even more eager to know which senior sword master had managed to defeat Qian Daoliu not long ago.
If he could receive guidance from that senior, wouldn't his swordsmanship cultivation advance by leaps and bounds?
Spirit Hall!
On the way to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, although Qi Lin was not present, he still perceived Tang Hao being effortlessly killed by Qian Daoliu as if watching a live broadcast.
To be honest, he also hadn't expected Tang Hao to go offline just like that.
How tragic!
But none of this concerned him anymore.
As he walked, Qi Lin rubbed his chin, recalling his previous conversation with Qian Daoliu.
That guy kept asking questions, like he was conducting a survey.
However, Qi Lin guessed his intentions.
Qian Daoliu wanted him to be his grandson-in-law!
However, Qian Renxue hadn't even revealed her identity to him yet; she was just visiting Tian Dou Academy more and more frequently.
Because as the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, she needed to represent the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family to win over him and the geniuses of the Heaven Dou Battle Team.
Lost in thought, Qi Lin had already arrived at the entrance of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Since he was already at Spirit Hall, he definitely had to meet Bibi Dong, but the two rows of guardian knights guarding the gate stopped him.
Qi Lin immediately took out the Supreme Pontiff Token that Bibi Dong had given him and said, "Go inform the Supreme Pontiff that Qi Lin requests an audience."
The moment the leading knight saw the token, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately bowed to Qi Lin.
Those who see the Supreme Pontiff Token are as if they see the Supreme Pontiff herself.
Subsequently, the leading knight prepared to enter the palace to report.
But before he could act, a voice suddenly sounded not far behind Qi Lin.
"Are you Qi Lin?"
"The one from Tian Dou Academy?"
The voice carried a hint of charm, and the moment the guardian knights saw the person approaching, they immediately bowed again and said, "Greetings, Holy Maiden!"
Hearing this address, Qi Lin immediately turned around to look and saw a tall figure.
Hu Liena was wearing a Spirit Hall Spirit Master uniform predominantly in gold and white, her figure graceful and alluring, her appearance equally beautiful, with a pair of fox eyes, and a charming yet not vulgar demeanor.
Qi Lin carefully assessed the person before him; among the three love-struck individuals of Spirit Hall, Hu Liena was the only one he had just met.
As for Hu Liena knowing him, Qi Lin was not curious; she probably learned about it from Bibi Dong.
"That's right." Qi Lin nodded, looking at Hu Liena.
When Qi Lin turned around, Hu Liena subconsciously froze for a moment after seeing his appearance.
People are visual creatures. Hu Liena had always heard her most respected teacher praise Qi Lin to the heavens and back, and she had long developed a rebellious mindset, thinking that while Qi Lin's talent might be stronger than hers, how could it be so exaggerated?
But now, upon seeing the real Qi Lin, Hu Liena suddenly felt that perhaps her teacher's words weren't without reason after all!
No one knew that Hu Liena actually had a bit of a soft spot for good looks in her heart.
In just a moment, she quickly recovered, a faint smile appearing on her face.
"I've heard my teacher mention you. Now that I see you, you truly live up to your reputation."
Hmm?
Qi Lin perceived the change in Hu Liena's tone before and after seeing him, and he raised an eyebrow.
The contrast before and after was too great; one second it was a questioning tone, the next it turned into heartfelt recognition.
However, Qi Lin still smiled and politely replied.
"You're also very impressive, the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Hu Liena's eyes.
"You know me too?"
Qi Lin smiled and nodded, "Of course, Spirit Hall's team is our Heaven Dou Battle Team's biggest enemy. As the team's leader, I naturally need to understand them beforehand."
This was a lie!
Before the Heaven Dou Battle Team, Spirit Hall's team was far from being a match.
Let alone the Heaven Dou Battle Team, they might not even be able to defeat the Skywater Team.
However, seeing that Qi Lin actually attached such importance to their Spirit Hall team, Hu Liena's fair face showed a hint of joy, and then she happily said, "We also consider Tian Dou Academy our biggest opponent."
The two chatted happily for a few sentences, and then Hu Liena said, "Oh, by the way, Lord Qi Lin, I heard you came to see my teacher. Do you know her?"
Qi Lin smiled and said, "Of course, I met Sister Supreme Pontiff when I first awakened my Spirit. At that time, she even invited me to join Spirit Hall and become her disciple, but I didn't want to be too far from home, so I refused."
Hu Liena suddenly understood, so that's how it was.
Then a hint of regret arose in her heart, and she thought, "It's a pity Qi Lin didn't become my teacher's disciple back then, otherwise he would be my junior brother."
While thinking, Hu Liena then said, "Lord Qi Lin, since that's the case, why don't you come in with me directly? I also need to see my teacher."
"Of course!" Qi Lin smiled.
Seeing this, the guardian knights immediately cleared a path for the two of them.
Upon entering the main hall, Qi Lin and Hu Liena immediately saw Bibi Dong sitting on the throne in the hall.
Bibi Dong was currently wearing a brilliant golden gown, holding a jeweled scepter, and wearing a nine-curved purple-gold crown, exuding an elegant and noble aura.
The moment she saw Qi Lin appear, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but when she saw Hu Liena beside Qi Lin, that hint of joy immediately disappeared, and she subtly frowned.
What is Nana doing here at this time instead of cultivating properly for the upcoming competition?
It seems the training tasks I assigned her are still too light.
Bibi Dong thought to herself.
"Sister Supreme Pontiff!"
"Teacher!"
Qi Lin and Hu Liena walked forward, speaking simultaneously.
"Little fellow, we meet again." Bibi Dong first spoke to Qi Lin kindly, then looked at Hu Liena.
"Nana, why are you here too?"
Hu Liena heard this and looked at her teacher in confusion.
Why did it feel like her teacher seemed unhappy to see her today?
Did she do something to displease her teacher?
However, Hu Liena still truthfully said, "Teacher, I encountered a small problem in my cultivation, so I came to you."
Bibi Dong heard this, waved her hand and said, "Nana, since it's a small problem, you should go back and think about it for a while. If you can find the problem, that's naturally best. If you can't, then come back to me."
"If you want to become a true powerhouse, you must learn to summarize and reflect on your own."
"Go on, Teacher believes in you!"
When Hu Liena left the Supreme Pontiff Palace, her head was still buzzing, not understanding why she had been sent out.
After Hu Liena left the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong's fair and flawless face revealed a gentle and bright smile, and she shifted slightly to the side, making room and smiling at Qi Lin.
"Little fellow, come quickly, sit next to your sister."
