Chapter 151: You Have a Plan Too?
Inside the Tang Sect, at Jiang Li's residence.
He looked at the invitation sent by " Xue Qinghe " in his hand and fell into a rare, prolonged silence.
The glaring words " Xue Qian " made Jiang Li feel as if his intelligence was being ground into the dirt.
What is this all about?
Is it time for another round of displaying that familiar, World-shaking wisdom?
Jiang Li mused that the Creator God of the Douluo Continent was probably the long-fallen God of Love, as there always seemed to be people who liked to throw themselves into the game, attempting to outwit fate.
The ancient chieftain from twenty thousand years later and the current little angel...
Truly, terrifying!
Just then, Tang San rushed into Jiang Li's room, looking nervously at the invitation from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family in Jiang Li's hand.
The wicked Heaven Dou Imperial Family actually dared to try and intercept the stepfather he had long thought he had found for himself—such actions were simply asking for death!
" Master, it's obvious the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is up to no good!"
'This disciple feels they are entirely aiming for the foundation of our Tang Sect, it's utterly unforgivable!"
Tang San spoke these words with such fervor, as if weeping while accusing, terrified that Jiang Li would go and become lost in a gentle, tempting trap.
If this were in the World of the Bashu Tang Sect from his previous life, being able to establish connections with the imperial family would have been a tremendous honor.
Even after arriving in the Douluo Continent, before meeting Jiang Li, he had held such thoughts.
However, through all these years of living here, one thing had become clear to him.
This World was already corrupt. Only a brilliant sun like his Master could illuminate the correct path.
'Ah, Little San, rest assured. How could your Master be the type to be swayed by feminine charms?"
'It's just that the Crown Prince's side has always had close relations with our Tang Sect. Outright rejecting his invitation would be rather discourteous in the end."
Hearing his Master say this, Tang San's heart finally relaxed with a heavy sigh of relief.
He could offer suggestions to his Master, but forcing his Master to act according to his own will would be a great act of filial impiety.
'Hmph—"
'Wicked Heaven Dou Imperial Family, you'd better not do anything excessive. Not just any stray cat or dog can become my Master's wife!"
...
The next day, Jiang Li arrived at the Heaven Dou Eastern Palace as agreed.
Upon receiving the message, " Xue Qinghe " was sitting elegantly in a pavilion sipping tea. A closer look would reveal subtle differences between the Crown Prince at this moment and his usual self.
Although the aura of strategic brilliance and refined elegance still existed, it somehow felt lacking in vitality.
As if... like a marionette on strings?
'Sir Jiang Li, your visit today truly brings boundless honor to my humble Eastern Palace. My younger sister has been waiting for you for quite some time."
" Xue Qinghe " stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting.
With his Blue Silver Domain, Jiang Li immediately sensed a significant difference in the aura emanating from the Xue Qinghe before him.
That sacred, radiant presence was absent. The person before him was most likely a transformation using a Soul Bone by Qian Renxue's subordinates.
'This one was aware that Your Highness the Crown Prince has a younger sister named Xue Ke. I was unaware when you gained another sworn sister."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the " Xue Qinghe " before him, but even Snake Lance, Ci Xue, and Qian Renxue, who had been monitoring the situation, broke out in a cold sweat on their backs.
" Young Lord, Sir Jiang Li shouldn't be able to see through the disguise, right?"
'Probably... not..."
Jiang Li, on his end, had no intention of further teasing this impostor. He simply followed the guidance to his destination.
Shortly after his arrival, a young woman dressed in a golden court gown pushed the door open and entered.
Golden hair cascaded down, framing a stunning oval face. Ice-blue eyes sparkled like crushed diamonds, pale gold lashes fluttering lightly.
Beneath a tall, straight nose, peach-pink lips were slightly upturned. Her cool, fair skin was lustrous and delicate, with an air of elegant pride and gentleness between her brows.
Seeing the real Master arrive, " Xue Qinghe " introduced her to Jiang Li,'Sir Jiang Li, this is my sworn sister, Xue Qian. Ever since she heard that I am acquainted with you, Sir Jiang Li, she has been clamoring to meet you."
'Now that I have brought her here, I shall leave the space to the two of you."
With that, " Xue Qinghe " turned and left, leaving only Jiang Li and Qian Renxue staring at each other.
After some idle chatter, Jiang Li's humorous remarks often elicited giggles from Qian Renxue.
'Sir Jiang Li, what do you think of my Crown Prince brother?"
Seeing the young lady broach an important topic, Jiang Li picked up the tea on the table, took a small sip, and then spoke, 'The Crown Prince's current conduct is indeed befitting of a wise ruler."
'In the future, after he inherits the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire, he will undoubtedly lead the Empire to greater prosperity."
Hearing Jiang Li praise her so, Qian Renxue felt sweetness welling up in her heart as if she had eaten honey.
Immediately after, she asked the question she cared about most on this visit, 'Then, may I ask how Sir Jiang Li views the Spirit Hall?"
Jiang Li shot Qian Renxue an exasperated glance. He had actually answered this question for Xue Qinghe once before. But since this young lady wanted to hear it, he would say it again.
'Ah, Young Miss Xue Qian, the Spirit Hall is now on a path of no return."
'Since Pope Bibi Dong ascended to power, the entire Spirit Hall has long lost the feeling of the Holy Land for Soul Masters it once had."
'It's just a pity that His Excellency Qian Xunji passed away in his prime. I heard his child also died young. Otherwise, the Spirit Hall would certainly not be as it is today."
As soon as Jiang Li said this, Qian Renxue's eyes instantly lit up.
To her ears, it sounded as if Jiang Li actually held their Angel Clan in high regard. His issues with the Spirit Hall were solely with the Spirit Hall under Bibi Dong's current rule.
If that was the case, didn't it mean that as long as she maintained this " Xue Qian " persona, and if the timing was right in the future, perhaps their relationship could progress even further?
'I never imagined Sir Jiang Li had such a clear analysis of the continent's situation. Previously, my royal brother and I also discussed this. I heard that Your Excellency Jiang Li looks down on the current Pope Bibi Dong because of that Yu Xiaogang. Is that true?"
The smile on Jiang Li's face grew increasingly mysterious. Although he didn't know what retaliatory actions Qian Renxue had taken after he revealed that Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong had been involved,
it didn't stop him from continuing to stir up trouble for those people at Shrek.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Jiang Li's face.
'Indeed. There is one thing you can later inform the Crown Prince."
'Within the current Shrek, there are direct descendants of both the Star Luo Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
'Moreover, the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire is actually that waste's disciple. This one finds it hard to believe there's nothing going on here."
