"How did it start again…" Qian Renxue furrowed her brows, her face filled with worry.
Although she didn't have much experience, she had heard that in a marriage, the male elders from the woman's side usually disapprove of the man.
So, she had specifically "warned" her grandfather earlier.
But now, it seemed that it had no effect.
Because the intense energy fluctuations coming from the northeast cold plains were so strong that even Heaven Dou City could faintly feel them.
"Tsk, your grandfather really has no vision," Dugu Bo said from the side.
He himself had a granddaughter, so he clearly understood how displeased Qian Daoliu must be at this moment.
But in his eyes, there was no man more outstanding than Li Yu... or rather, Yu.
In fact, Qian Renxue seemed almost unworthy of Li Yu. How could this old Qian Daoliu not realize that?
"Exactly!" Qian Renxue instinctively agreed, then suddenly realized it sounded like she was insulting her own grandfather.
She immediately glared at Dugu Bo, "Your Majesty, is it really appropriate for you to speak ill of my grandfather behind his back?"
Dugu Bo chuckled awkwardly and didn't reply.
It wasn't good to speak ill of someone's grandfather to their face.
If someone went and complained, he'd be in trouble.
After all, he couldn't beat Qian Daoliu.
However, he believed that Qian Renxue wouldn't do that.
Because earlier, when Qian Renxue said, "We truly love each other," and bowed to him, he had already let go of his misgivings about her identity.
At that moment, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
Looking at it now, Qian Renxue attitude actually represented Li Yu stance to some extent.
Thus, the bow Qian Renxue gave him wasn't just an acknowledgment of his identity but also Li Yu recognition of him.
This meant that Li Yu regarded him as an elder.
That's why he felt satisfied.
Therefore, Qian Renxue didn't want her grandfather, who had just fought with Li Yu, to cause another "conflict" with him.
"Your Majesty, who do you think is stronger, Brother Yu or my grandfather?" Qian Renxue asked Dugu Bo, her gaze falling toward the cold plains.
At present, her soul power was still at the seven-ring Spirit Saint level, far behind Dugu Bo.
She still wanted to know Dugu Bo opinion on this fight.
Besides, neither Dugu Bo nor herself had the intention of watching the battle in person.
Although the distance wasn't too far, they both understood that because of Qian Renxue, neither would go all out.
Thus, the battle wouldn't last long.
By the time they arrived, Li Yu and Qian Daoliu might already have returned.
"It's hard to say." Dugu Bo shook his head.
In his heart, he naturally had more confidence in Li Yu.
Li Yu, not only young but also a newly advanced eight-ring Spirit Douluo, still had a lot of room for growth. His potential was something Qian Daoliu couldn't compare to.
However, Qian Daoliu, being the truly top-tier expert of this world, also couldn't be underestimated.
Qian Renxue didn't say anything in response. Her question wasn't really about the answer. She was just trying to find something to say to relieve the tension in her heart.
A moment later.
Whoosh~
A strange sound rang out.
Then, with a duang sound, Li Yu and Qian Daoliu had returned.
Qian Daoliu sat in his chair, while Li Yu stood as before.
The only difference was that it was now Li Yu, not Li Yu in disguise as a woman.
Qian Renxue suddenly realized why the energy fluctuations she had felt earlier were stronger than expected.
It turned out that Li Yu had just unleashed his full power.
She hadn't expected that the Li Yu, who had always pretended to be a woman, would show his true form while "talking" with her grandfather.
She gave Li Yu a wink, clearly trying to gather information.
Li Yu smiled and nodded, silently signaling to Qian Renxue that Qian Daoliu had accepted the situation.
"Grandfather~" Qian Renxue smiled brightly, gently massaging Qian Daoliu shoulders.
"Hmph!" Qian Daoliu saw the two of them exchanging looks. Though his face showed an expression of enjoyment, his lips curled in a cold snort.
Clearly, the "acceptance" expressed by Li Yu wasn't to his liking. He still looked at Li Yu with disapproval.
Li Yu ignored it.
Dugu Bo, on the other hand, quietly gave Li Yu a thumbs up.
He didn't care for the romantic matters at hand. His approval of Li Yu was because he realized that Qian Daoliu could sit calmly after Li Yu revealed his true form, meaning that the earlier "conversation" hadn't "convinced" anyone.
Or perhaps Qian Daoliu had lost ground.
At this moment, Dugu Bo was greatly shocked.
He didn't know the exact strength of Qian Daoliu, the 99th-level Title Douluo, but he understood that he was no match for him.
Yet, Li Yu was able to "reason" with Qian Daoliu.
This spoke volumes about Li Yu strength.
"Xue'er, remember our agreement. After everything's done, hurry back," Qian Daoliu said as he reached for the teacup.
But just as his hand touched the cup, he withdrew it, seeming to notice the tea had already gone cold.
"Okay, Grandfather!" Qian Renxue naturally agreed.
But after a moment of thought, she added, "In a few days, I'm going to marry Brother Yu. You remember to come."
Creak~
Qian Daoliu suddenly jumped to his feet, knocking the table sideways, spilling tea everywhere.
He even splashed some tea onto Dugu Bo, who was sitting across from him.
Everyone looked at Qian Daoliu.
But they saw the old man gripping his fists tightly, spinning around and pressing his hands onto Qian Renxue shoulders, shouting in excitement, "What? What did you just say?"
"I…" Qian Renxue hadn't expected her grandfather to react so strongly and didn't know how to answer.
"Senior, this was decided long ago," Li Yu flashed in front of Qian Daoliu, and with spatial power, cleverly swapped places with Qian Renxue.
Now, instead of Qian Daoliu looming over Qian Renxue, the two were eye-to-eye, with Li Yu form forcing Qian Daoliu hands to rest on him.
Qian Renxue hid behind Li Yu, peeking nervously from behind.
"Didn't you say you accepted it?" Qian Renxue muttered to herself, but on the surface, she chided Qian Daoliu, "Grandfather~"
Dugu Bo sat idly by, feeling like an outsider.
As tea splashed onto him, he was filled with confusion: the tea isn't even cold, so why doesn't he drink it?
"Alright, alright, very good!" Qian Daoliu laughed through gritted teeth, his soul power surging as he secretly exerted strength.
He glared at Qian Renxue in annoyance, "You! You've spoiled me. How could you make such a big decision without discussing it with your family? What is this?"
"Grandfather~" Qian Renxue called again, not saying anything else but repeating, "Grandfather."
Li Yu kept smiling.
Qian Daoliu, with a final shake of his hand, turned to glare fiercely at Li Yu.
"You better pay attention, kid!"
