Following Qian Daoliu's guidance, Jiang Chen arrived at a courtyard deep within the Elder Hall.
The courtyard gate was wide open, and Jiang Chen stepped inside.
The courtyard was not large. On the right side stood an osmanthus tree, its green leaves lush and dripping, each one hanging low.
Countless yellow flowers, like golden fragments, dotted among the green leaves.
As he entered the courtyard, the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers wafted over.
Beneath the osmanthus tree, Qian Daoliu had already prepared the wine and dishes, waiting for Jiang Chen to take his seat.
"Grandpa." Jiang Chen called out, revealing a bright and gentle smile.
This call of "Grandpa" was extremely sincere, coming straight from the heart. The genuine affection made the great enshrinement of the Spirit Hall instantly relax his brows.
How could it not be sincere? He truly treated him as his own grandfather.
"Sit down quickly." Qian Daoliu pointed to the table opposite him, then picked up the wine pot and poured a cup for Jiang Chen.
"Grandpa, I can't hold my liquor." Jiang Chen smelled the rich aroma of wine, which actually overpowered the surrounding osmanthus fragrance.
"A real man can't drink." Qian Daoliu lectured.
Jiang Chen chuckled, raised the wine cup, and drank it in one gulp. In the end, his attempt to show off failed, and he was choked until tears flowed.
Qian Daoliu laughed heartily. Being with Jiang Chen made his mood cheerful, and the more he looked at Jiang Chen, the more pleasing he found him.
"Kid, tell me where you went this past year."
Jiang Chen did not hide anything. While drinking and eating with Qian Daoliu, he recounted his experiences inside the Slaughter City.
Of course, he directly omitted the ambiguous details with Hu Liena.
Here, one could eat and drink freely, but words could not be spoken carelessly.
He did not dare guarantee that Grandpa would be as open-minded as Mom.
"So, that Asura God senior has taken a liking to you?" Qian Daoliu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Their Angel family had passed down their legacy for generations and had produced more than one god. There were some descriptions of Asura God, this major figure in the God Realm, that had been handed down.
Earlier in the great hall, Qian Daoliu had already sensed a god-level aura on Jiang Chen.
He had once accepted the Angel God's inheritance. Although he ultimately failed, he would never mistake a god-level aura.
Back then, it was precisely because he sensed a god-level aura on Bibi Dong that he had held back from taking action against her.
Of course, he had also considered that she was Qian Renxue's mother.
But he had not expected that this woman's methods were astonishing. In just over ten years, she had firmly grasped the power of the Spirit Hall in her hands and developed the Spirit Hall's forces to become even stronger.
Jiang Chen was already slightly tipsy. He smiled and said, "Asura God senior said he would watch my performance."
"Then you must perform well and not disappoint seniors' expectations." Qian Daoliu's old face bloomed like a flower. He stretched out his thick palm and patted Jiang Chen's shoulder heavily.
Jiang Chen had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall and straight figure, and an extraordinary temperament. Such a graceful and handsome young man, paired with his granddaughter Qian Renxue, was simply a perfect golden boy and jade girl.
"This kid's talent is so astonishing. If he obtains the Asura God's inheritance as well…"
Qian Daoliu's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he continued thinking, "He and Little Xue would be an absolute match."
Although Jiang Chen's face was drunk, his mind was very clear.
He had thrown out enough bombs, and they had achieved the desired effect. He then said, "Grandpa, my teacher has arranged for me to go to the Heaven Dou Empire to assist Xue'er's sister."
Qian Daoliu stroked his beard and smiled, "Very good. With you there to accompany Little Xue, Grandpa can be at ease. She is a girl after all. You must protect her well, understand?"
He spoke with deep sincerity. It had been many years since he last saw his granddaughter, and he missed her dearly.
Jiang Chen going to the Heaven Dou Empire to assist Qian Renxue was exactly what he wanted.
Looking at Jiang Chen, who was already hazy with drunkenness, Qian Daoliu suddenly had a thought. He smiled and asked, "Little Chen, when you said before that you like your Xue'er sister, was that true?"
"Of course. I want to marry her as my wife. I want to have monkeys with her." Jiang Chen answered without thinking, looking exactly like someone speaking the truth after drinking.
Based on the previous conversation, he had already deduced that the old man had taken a liking to him.
This was the perfect moment to go with the flow and help his own cause…
The old man's face was full of relief, and he greatly admired Jiang Chen's courage.
"It seems that once the Heaven Dou Empire matter is settled, this old man will be able to hold a great-grandson. Mm, it won't take many years." Qian Daoliu's smiling face had never been so radiant.
When Qian Renxue inherited the Angel God position, it would also be the time for him to sacrifice his life. If he could see the family bloodline continue before he died, he would have no regrets.
Jiang Chen, however, thought to himself, "Can an angel and a zombie really give birth to monkeys?"
…
This meal lasted from noon all the way until evening. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Jiang Chen staggered out of the Elder Hall.
He circulated his soul power, forcing the alcohol out of his body.
The sky gradually darkened. Jiang Chen thought for a moment and headed straight for Bibi Dong's study.
He planned to set off tomorrow and needed to inform his teacher in advance.
Bibi Dong was in her study. Jiang Chen walked straight in.
Compared to this morning in the great hall, Bibi Dong had less majesty and dominance, and more gentleness and grace.
She frowned slightly and stared at Jiang Chen, "You drank a lot?"
Jiang Chen said frankly, "I drank with the great enshrinement all afternoon."
Bibi Dong's brows relaxed, and she did not scold him.
"What do you want from me?"
"Teacher, I want to set off for the Heaven Dou Empire tomorrow." Jiang Chen directly stated his purpose.
He missed Qian Renxue terribly. The day had finally come, and he did not want to wait any longer.
Moreover, with his familiarity with the plot, going to the Heaven Dou Empire would allow him to help Qian Renxue a lot.
He naturally hoped that the Spirit Hall could take down the Heaven Dou Empire and ultimately dominate the entire continent.
Bibi Dong raised her head, tucked a few strands of hair that had slipped onto her jade-like face, and asked with some surprise, "You just returned from the Slaughter City. Aren't you going to rest for a few days?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, "No need. Your disciple is not someone who can stay idle. The sooner I go to the Heaven Dou Empire, the sooner I can help Xue'er sister."
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment and asked, "Once you reach the Heaven Dou Empire, do you want to stay at the Temple or by her side?"
"Is there a difference?" Jiang Chen asked.
Bibi Dong explained, "At the Temple, you can be responsible for secretly coordinating with her, handling message transmission, and clearing obstacles in the dark. Once you arrive, Bishop Salas will teach you."
"If you choose to stay by her side, she should arrange a suitable identity for you."
Jiang Chen was mainly going to the Heaven Dou Empire this time to pursue the girl and take down the Heaven Dou Empire, so there was no need to hesitate.
"I'll stay by Xue'er's side."
Bibi Dong nodded, not at all surprised by Jiang Chen's choice.
"When you reach Heaven Dou City, you can find Salas first. Let him arrange for you to meet Xue'er."
Bibi Dong's use of the name "Xue'er" was becoming more and more natural, which made Jiang Chen quite satisfied.
"Understood, teacher."
"Mm. Tomorrow you can leave on your own. There's no need to come see me again." Bibi Dong did not raise her head, her gaze returning to the documents on the desk.
"Perhaps the teacher doesn't like the atmosphere of parting," Jiang Chen thought to himself.
"Teacher, do you have any words or things you want me to bring to Xue'er's sister?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
Bibi Dong's hand, which was flipping through the documents, paused in mid-air. She lifted her face and gazed at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen calmly met his teacher's eyes. After more than ten seconds, Bibi Dong let out a long sigh.
With a gentle wave of her jade hand, the study door closed.
