Chapter 80: Erasing the Qian Gu Clan
"I trust they will handle the matter with Qian Renxue."
Coincidentally, in the Spirit Hall branch in East Sea City, there was an elder present.
At Elder She Long's level, the news of Qian Renxue's injury would be quickly relayed to Spirit City.
There was no need to worry about the follow-up.
"Alright."
Hearing Ye Tian's assurance, Hu Liena nodded slightly and left, somewhat lost in thought.
She hadn't expected her sister Qian Renxue to suddenly appear before her, injured no less.
It was truly a heart-wrenching situation.
Back in her second-floor bedroom, Hu Liena opened the door and looked up, only to find that her teacher was awake.
"Nana, where did you go?"
Bibi Dong, dressed in her nightgown, gently massaged her forehead.
She had a nightmare.
"Nothing... Ye Tian has returned."
Hu Liena initially wanted to hide the truth but quickly realized that she couldn't keep it from her teacher.
After all, her teacher was Qian Renxue's mother!
"Hmm." Bibi Dong's expression remained calm as she looked warmly at Hu Liena.
"Your ears are sharp; I didn't even hear Ye Tian return, yet you noticed right away."
Summoning her courage, Hu Liena whispered, "Sister Qian Renxue returned with Ye Tian, and she's injured."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong, who had been calm, suddenly stood up.
Her face showed a brief, intense emotion, but she quickly suppressed it.
She walked to the door, grabbed a coat, and draped it over her shoulders.
Her expression remained unchanged as she said, "You should rest first. I'll go check on Xiao Xue."
"I'll go with you, teacher."
How could Hu Liena possibly sleep? She quickly followed Bibi Dong.
When the two came downstairs again, Ye Tian had already put on his work clothes and was using alcohol-soaked cotton to clean the blood off Qian Renxue.
Looking at Qian Renxue, eyes closed and breathing steadily, Bibi Dong's steps suddenly faltered.
The girl on the sofa was none other than her daughter, Qian Renxue!
As a mother, this blood tie couldn't be clearer.
Since Qian Renxue had gone to Heaven Dou City, Bibi Dong hadn't seen her in years.
She never imagined that their first reunion after so many years would be like this.
As the Pope, Bibi Dong was always in control of her emotions.
The complex feelings on her face appeared only for a moment before they disappeared.
She walked gracefully to Ye Tian's side and silently watched Qian Renxue.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Ye Tian turned his head and smiled lightly.
"So, sister, you're still awake."
Bibi Dong smiled faintly. "Nana told me you had returned, so I came to check."
"Were there many risks in bringing back Xue Qinghe?"
Ye Tian nodded slightly. "Yes. I didn't expect Qian Gu Shizhen to try to provoke a war between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire by assassinating Xue Qinghe."
"I also didn't expect that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise."
The latter half of his statement was a lie. He had known for a long time that the real Xue Qinghe was dead.
But to offer a 'reasonable explanation,' he had to deceive his sister a little.
"Fortunately, Xiao Tian, you acted in time. Otherwise, the continent would be shrouded in the clouds of war." Bibi Dong sighed.
Ye Tian turned back to continue cleaning the blood off Qian Renxue, speaking without raising his head. "I saved Qian Renxue to prevent too much attention from being drawn to the shores of the East Sea."
"As the saying goes, even a meticulous plan has its gaps. Too much attention will only force us from the shadows into the open."
As he spoke, Ye Tian summoned his Spirit, the Taiyi Divine Needle, and sealed the meridians in Qian Renxue's shoulder.
Then, with a slight movement of the needle tip, Qian Renxue's fair skin was cut open.
Her exposed meridians and broken bones were clearly visible, causing Hu Liena to instinctively cover her eyes. It was too horrifying.
Bibi Dong, though faring better, still frowned.
However, inside her heart, rage had already surged.
The vile evil spirit masters dared to harm her daughter!
None of those who hurt Qian Renxue would be spared!
...
Throughout the bone-setting process, Bibi Dong didn't say a word, fearing that she might disturb Ye Tian and affect Qian Renxue's treatment.
In reality, Ye Tian wasn't putting forth his best effort.
In his view, Qian Renxue was just an irrelevant person.
A simple treatment would suffice before handing her over to the Spirit Hall.
So, the whole procedure was done with speed in mind.
After half an hour, Qian Renxue's fractured right shoulder was reconnected.
Ye Tian then stitched up the wound.
After washing the blood off his hands in a nearby basin, he waved at Butler Fu. "Send some men to throw Qian Renxue at the door of the Spirit Hall branch in East Sea City."
Upon hearing the word 'throw,' Hu Liena was a bit dumbfounded. "Ye Tian, Qian Renxue was just seriously injured. Isn't throwing her a bit too rough?"
"Besides, she's a girl. Throwing her out at night doesn't seem very appropriate..."
"Haha." Ye Tian chuckled softly.
"Didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, Nana."
"Since you reminded me, let Qian Renxue stay in the villa for the night." Ye Tian said.
In reality, he wanted to get rid of Qian Renxue quickly, fearing that Nana might get jealous.
After all, having such a beautiful woman at home, especially one he had saved, might cause Nana to overthink.
Of those who went to Soro Island, only he and Qian Renxue had returned.
Whether she was sent to the Spirit Hall branch or not, the first thing Qian Renxue would do upon waking was ask him what had happened.
Keeping Qian Renxue at the villa had its advantages.
At the very least, it would let her recognize that it was he who had brought her back from Soro Island.
As for how the Qian Gu Shizhen was destroyed, Ye Tian had already thought of an explanation.
Don't ask — if anyone does, the answer is that it was Spear Douluo who saved them.
Spear Douluo was long dead, after all. No one could prove otherwise.
Thinking of this, Ye Tian chuckled inwardly. "Spear Douluo really got lucky. He's been dead for half a month and still gets credit."
"Let Qian Renxue sleep with us. She's injured, and if anything goes wrong, we can notify you immediately."
Bibi Dong's purple eyes gazed at Ye Tian.
Without waiting for his response, she lifted Qian Renxue and carried her upstairs.
"Alright." Ye Tian shrugged, showing his helplessness.
His sister had worked in the Spirit Hall for years and probably had some special feelings toward its young mistress.
Since she had taken the initiative to take care of Qian Renxue, he couldn't stop her.
...
After bringing Qian Renxue back to the bedroom, the coldness in Bibi Dong's eyes made the room feel several degrees cooler.
Hu Liena, her chest heaving, angrily said, "That damn Qian Gu Shizhen! How dare they hurt Sister Qian Renxue!"
"Nana, write a letter and secretly send it to Elder She Long. Have him use all available Spirit Hall resources to investigate the Qian Gu Clan!
No matter what, they dared to harm Xiao Xue. The Qian Gu Clan must be erased from the continent!"
Bibi Dong's icy eyes gleamed with determination.
