Chapter 236: Methods to Deal with Qian Renxue
On the grassland within the Heaven Dou Royal Hunting Grounds, Xue Qinghe was leading Yu Tianlin and Ning Rongrong on a walk.
Although they had seen each other during the preliminaries, they had only watched one another's matches and had not really spoken much. So now that Ning Rongrong finally had a chance to meet Yu Tianlin properly, she immediately started chattering about all sorts of things.
Xue Qinghe kept a gentle smile on his face the entire time, occasionally adding a few words here and there, fully displaying the bearing of a crown prince.
As for Yu Tianlin, although he kept responding to Ning Rongrong's many questions, most of his attention was actually on the Crown Prince.
Ever since seeing this impostor, who was in truth Qian Renxue, Yu Tianlin had been analyzing the current situation, specifically how he should deal with Qian Renxue.
As the future Angel God, Qian Renxue undoubtedly belonged to Spirit Hall. Under Bibi Dong's leadership, Spirit Hall would inevitably become enemies with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. In other words, Qian Renxue would be an enormous threat in the future.
A god level opponent, just thinking about it was troublesome.
But right now, Qian Renxue was taking a huge risk to seize the nation. She had disguised herself as Xue Qinghe and infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, and just like that, she had appeared in front of him.
At most, she only had the level 92 Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo at her side. The other experts of Spirit Hall were far away. As for her own strength, she had not even reached the level of a Spirit Sage yet.
This was a golden opportunity.
As long as Yu Tianlin could persuade his grandfather to act, he could eliminate a future god level enemy for the sake of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The moment this thought appeared, it surged through Yu Tianlin's mind, and he truly wanted to act at once.
Fortunately, Yu Tianlin still retained enough rationality to forcefully suppress that impulse.
First, although killing Qian Renxue now looked easy, she was the future successor chosen by the Angel God. She might possess something like destiny. Even if they tried to kill her, she might still escape through some unexpected turn of events.
Second, even if Qian Renxue really were killed, Bibi Dong's reaction was uncertain, but Qian Daoliu would definitely go mad.
After all, Qian Renxue was his only granddaughter. Her death would mean the end of his bloodline, and the inheritance of the Six Winged Angel Martial Soul would be completely cut off. If Qian Daoliu came out for revenge, then the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be in serious trouble. His grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, was still somewhat weaker than Qian Daoliu.
Who would not fear a completely enraged Limit Douluo whose only goal was revenge?
So, killing Qian Renxue in advance to eliminate the threat was unrealistic. It might even backfire and make the situation worse.
Then what about exposing Qian Renxue's identity?
That idea was even worse.
Yu Tianlin could already foresee it. Even if he exposed Qian Renxue's identity in front of Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi, so what? Would they dare kill Qian Renxue, the daughter of the former Pope?
The answer was no. They would not dare.
At most, they might temporarily detain her, and then Spirit Hall would send someone to take her back.
That would actually make things even more troublesome. If Qian Renxue returned early, she would naturally begin receiving the Angel God inheritance earlier as well. If she became a god before everyone else, then before the next god appeared, the entire continent would be under her control for that period of time.
If it were another god's successor, it would not matter as much, because before receiving the final inheritance, a divine successor usually had to pass the final stage involving the high priest who served that god.
Under normal circumstances, although a high priest hoped for the birth of a new god, they were also somewhat unwilling to die. Because of this contradiction, they tended to be extremely strict in the successor's divine trials.
In the original story, Sea God High Priest Bo Saixi had once considered using Tang San's sixth Sea God trial to kill him.
But Qian Renxue was different.
Her grandfather was the high priest who served the Angel God, and Qian Daoliu would go easy on her during the divine trials. That meant Qian Renxue's ascension would be very fast. Once she started receiving the Angel God's inheritance, it would likely be completed within a few years.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianlin glanced at Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe and smiling at him, and a plan had already formed in his mind.
Since he could not kill Qian Renxue in advance, then he could only try to delay the time it would take her to receive the divine inheritance.
Simple enough, was Qian Renxue not playing undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire? Then let her continue infiltrating a while longer, even if only for one more year.
Later, when everyone began competing for godhood, every single year would be crucial. In the original work, it only took Qian Renxue 5 years from beginning the inheritance to becoming a god.
With the general direction decided, the next step was detailed planning.
To achieve his goal, Yu Tianlin needed to accomplish 2 things. He could not allow Qian Renxue's identity to be exposed, so she could continue lying low, and he could not let Emperor Xueye die, so Qian Renxue would not truly complete her takeover and seize power in the Heaven Dou Empire.
The balance here was difficult to control.
Fortunately, it was still early, and Yu Tianlin had enough time to make arrangements. More importantly, since he knew Qian Renxue's true identity, he could move one step ahead and prevent things from spiraling out of control.
Just as Yu Tianlin was thinking through his next move, Xue Qinghe's voice suddenly rang out.
"Brother Yu? Brother Yu? Miss Rongrong is talking to you."
"Oh, my apologies." Yu Tianlin snapped out of his thoughts, suppressed everything in his heart, and turned toward Ning Rongrong.
Sure enough, he saw Ning Rongrong pouting in dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, Rongrong. I was thinking about something important just now and got distracted. I'm really sorry."
"It's alright." Ning Rongrong had grown a lot, and her old arrogance had faded considerably. She did not throw a tantrum and instead said, "I've been talking nonstop anyway. I'm sorry for bothering you."
Seeing the atmosphere turn a little awkward, Xue Qinghe quickly smiled and asked, "Brother Yu, what were you thinking about just now? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I am confident I can help solve most problems within the Heaven Dou Empire."
At this point, Xue Qinghe added, "Of course, if it is something very important and inconvenient to share, that is fine too."
Tsk, tsk. He says he wants to help me solve a problem, but he is actually trying to get information out of me.
Your undercover act really is serious.
