Soul Land—Chapter 134: You are not under Qian Renxue's Command; I don't want you yet
Now that he was heavily injured and lying on the ground, he could only watch helplessly as Hu Liena was helped up by Ling Qianyao, her demeanor like a startled fawn, filling Yan's heart with indescribable grief and indignation.
This feeling was like that of a couple about to get married, only for the husband to return home and see his wife being embraced by another man, and his usually aloof wife was blushing, her eyes filled with shyness and reliance, a bitter and indignant feeling.
His heart was knotted with frustration, yet he could do nothing but watch his wife passively, or even actively and wantonly endure humiliation, a feeling of powerlessness and despair.
He and Xie Yue were classmates and good friends. After Hu Liena entered the Soul Master Junior Academy and gradually showed her talent, this guy fell in love with Hu Liena.
A long, long time had passed since his first confession, and he had been pursuing Hu Liena all this time, but this guy hadn't even touched Hu Liena's hand.
"Ling Qianyao!"
Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he almost roared out the name.
Hu Liena, who was adjusting her mood and tidying her clothes, frowned slightly and said to Ling Qianyao, "Sorry, Ling Qianyao, I'll be right back."
She gently helped up her unconscious brother, Xie Yue, who was lying on the ground, and placed him among the waiting healing Soul Masters, then walked towards Yan.
"Nana..."
"Stop talking!" Hu Liena glared, "Where did you get that temper? Ling Qianyao didn't do anything to you. Besides, if you hadn't suddenly deviated from the plan and been defeated by Zhu Zhuqing, we might have even won.
Everyone, please send him to the medical room to lie down."
Yan's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed blocked. In the end, he could only groan dully and be carried away.
"Puff—" Zhu Zhuqing, who had walked to Ling Qianyao's side, couldn't help but laugh at the situation over there.
"The winners are Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing."
Bibi Dong announced the results expressionlessly and slowly walked down the platform as if she were going to approach Hu Liena.
Qian Renxue stepped forward and blocked Bibi Dong's way. She smiled, her lips raised, and spoke slowly with a bit of confidence and pride:
"Your Holiness, I'm sure you've seen the performance of the Qingyao Phantom Group this time. I wonder what you think of the two elite students from the Heaven Dou Empire under my command?
The three strongest young people in the Spirit Hall seemed a little overwhelmed in this battle. Instead, Qianyao and Zhuqing won. It seems that Your Holiness's vision and decision should change, right?"
Bibi Dong glanced at Ling Qianyao, Zhu Zhuqing, and Hu Liena, who were walking toward her. She slightly raised her lips and stood beside Qian Renxue, with a very close distance between them.
Bibi Dong whispered in Qian Renxue's ear: "Qian Renxue, are you very proud? Do you think that with such a 'victory,' I can accept and recognize you? My dear sister, you still have a lot to learn."
Qian Renxue's eyes were stern, but she maintained her calm appearance and responded in a very low voice:
"Sister? Humph, I hate that term. 'Sister' is just an absurd title woven from power and blood.
I don't expect to receive any unconditional maternal love from you. The shadows of the past have already left indelible scars on my heart."
She raised her head and looked directly at Bibi Dong beside her. Their eyes collided in the air as if sparks were flashing.
"I will also take away the power you long for and desire so much. I am more suitable to be the supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall than you. I will prove to you that I am better than you."
A trace of surprise flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes. This was not what Qian Renxue usually said to her. Has her undercover life in Heaven Dou Empire changed her mindset so much during this period?
Her eyes flickered, and she softly said, "Okay, I am looking forward to it."
Look who will take away the other party's cherished things. My dear sister, you are still too naive.
Ling Qianyao and the other two had come close to Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong.
"Prince Xue Qinghe." Hu Liena nodded slightly at Qian Renxue. With her identity as a direct disciple of the Pope, she can be said to be the next Saintess of the Spirit Hall. Even if she meets the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she does not need to perform a grand ceremony—just a nod will suffice.
"Mm, hello."
Qian Renxue maintained a superficial smile.
Hu Liena frowned slightly. 'I heard that the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire is elegant. Why does he keep staring at my hair? Does he have a special hobby?'
She glanced at his very pretty and fair face, sensing a tenderness between his eyebrows.
Hu Liena's heart skipped a beat. 'Headband, or hair? Does this guy like women's things? Huh~'
Bibi Dong slowly said, "Now that the results of this competition have been announced, this matter is concluded for the time being. The Heaven Dou Empire and our Spirit Hall should work together on many matters in the future."
"Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing are both heroes who have broken the conventions of the Soul Master world and achieved outstanding results. This is the Purple Record Medal, an honorary medal only awarded to the most promising soul masters.
Although it is usually reserved for top students in the Spirit Hall, your performance this time has shown me unlimited potential."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong raised her jade hand lightly, and two medals emitting a mysterious purple light flew to Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing, respectively.
Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing looked at Qian Renxue simultaneously.
Not members of Spirit Hall? Only Hu Liena was probably in the dark in the entire audience, right? Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing could already be said to be connected to Spirit Hall.
By awarding the Purple Record Medals in front of Qian Renxue, wasn't she clearly trying to snatch them and put her mark on them?
Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes but nodded toward Ling Qianyao and the other.
Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing then accepted the Purple Record Medals.
Bibi Dong's eyes did not miss their exchanged glances. She smiled inwardly and thought: "Ling Qianyao, since you have accepted this purple medal, you are someone I value."
"I hereby grant you the right to enter and leave Spirit City freely from now on, and you do not need to report to the Pope's Palace."
"Also, although my Spirit Hall already has a candidate for the Saintess, I don't mind having another candidate for the Saint Son. Do you want to become my disciple?"
"What?!" Qian Renxue's heart was shocked, and her eyes instantly turned to Bibi Dong. What is this crazy woman thinking?
Hu Liena also covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock and disbelief. She looked at Ling Qianyao, then at Bibi Dong, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
'However, if he is willing to join, it doesn't seem like a bad idea—Saint Son.' Hu Liena had this thought suddenly, and she hurriedly shook her head, blushing.
Ling Qianyao frowned and bowed. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Holiness. I already have a master, and I am currently under the command of Prince Xue Qinghe."
If you weren't under Qian Renxue's command, I wouldn't want you
Bibi Dong showed a meaningful smile and said, "Since that is the case, I won't force you. However, I have always valued talents. Tomorrow, you can come to the Pope's Palace, and I will reward you with a treasure."
