Chapter 152: Entering the Game with One's Body, Winning Half a Move Against Heaven
After listening to Jiang Li's account, Qian Renxue's face could be described as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Through her astonishing wisdom, she quickly 'analyzed' the entire situation.
Why would a prince of an Empire, for no reason, take a 29th-level waste as his Master?
To put it bluntly, wasn't it because he valued the resources that buzz cut could bring him?
Yu Yuanzhen's side naturally goes without saying, but within Spirit City, there was the biggest rat of all!
And the thing she found most unacceptable was this: she, Qian Renxue, had painstakingly infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for so long, and now, just when it seemed time to close the net, such a bizarre mess had actually appeared over in the Star Luo Empire!
'My foolish sister, you'd better not let me discover you doing anything to harm Spirit Hall."
'Otherwise, I will definitely make that damned waste wish he were alive and wish he were dead!"
Even though Qian Renxue's heart was currently in turmoil, on the surface, she still didn't reveal any flaw.
After listening to what Jiang Li said, she then asked about another matter that interested her.
"Mr. Jiang Li, you must have heard about what happened at the Clear Sky Sect before. Do you know where that Tang Hao, who betrayed his Master and ancestors, ultimately went?"
Regarding this, Jiang Li offered his speculation. "If they returned to the Heaven Dou Empire side, they should have gone back to the previous Moon Pavilion. But obviously, that's not the case."
"In that case, the brother and sister pair could only have headed in the direction of the Star Luo Empire."
Although Qian Renxue had previously harbored such suspicions, after hearing about Dai Mubai's situation just now, she felt this matter would inevitably become a threat.
She even wondered if, when the time came, her foolish sister might do something even more abstract because of that buzz cut.
Tang Hao, her father's killer—her foolish sister didn't kill him, letting him go to the Star Luo Empire. Now, this old flame of hers has hooked up with a prince of the Star Luo Empire. It seems he, too, will head to the Star Luo Empire sooner or later.
Moreover, the attitude of Ning Fengzhi, the Master whom Xue Qinghe has taken, is also quite ambiguous, having Ning Rongrong join Shrek Academy.
The Star Luo Empire will be a formidable enemy!
Just thinking about these things made Qian Renxue's silver teeth clench tightly.
However, the only thing that comforted her was that she had probed Jiang Li's stance and finally received some good news.
Thinking about the question she was about to ask next, her heartbeat couldn't help but quicken considerably.
"Mr. Jiang Li is truly an intriguing person. However, what puzzles Xue Qian is, since you have already reached the cultivation level of a Titled Douluo, why not seek a beautiful companion?"
Looking at the little angel before him with her burning gaze, the corner of Jiang Li's mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly.
"Miss Xue, things like fate cannot be forced."
"Perhaps when the right time comes, my destined other half will naturally appear."
Immediately after, Jiang Li chatted with Qian Renxue about this and that for a while, then took his leave.
When only Qian Renxue remained on the scene, she summoned Snake Lance and Porcupine Fish, who were hidden in the shadows.
"Uncle Snake Lance, Uncle Porcupine Fish, tell me, if I, your Young Miss, were to express admiration for Mr. Jiang Li, could we firmly bind him to our chariot?"
The two old Titled Douluo felt as if the sky were falling when they heard this.
Such an abstract idea was absolutely unacceptable!
"Young Lord, you must not!"
One thing these two old-timers understood was that when a woman starts becoming interested in a man, it's the beginning of her downfall.
Moreover, both of them had a persistent feeling that if Qian Renxue executed such a plan, the final result would inevitably be a complete loss.
In that case, when they returned to the Hall of Worship, wouldn't the other Worshipers skin them alive?
Hearing Snake Lance and Porcupine Fish's disapproving words, Qian Renxue's beautiful brows furrowed.
If her worldly-wise plan succeeded, Spirit Hall would gain such a powerful ally for free. Why not do it?
Furthermore, when she eventually confronted Bibi Dong, she would also need sufficient forces for support.
"There's no need for the two of you to say more. I have already considered this matter. You may withdraw."
The two old-timers looked at each other helplessly, sighed, and slowly withdrew from Qian Renxue's room.
After they had gone some distance, Porcupinefish Douluo was the first to speak. "How about we report this matter to the High Priest and let them handle it?"
Snake Lance Douluo nodded in agreement, indicating he felt the same.
Immediately after, they saw the two of them split up. One stayed to guard Qian Renxue's safety, while the other stealthily sent a message back to the Hall of Worship.
...
On the other side, after Jiang Li returned to the Tang Sect headquarters, Tang San came to see him immediately.
"Master, what did that Crown Prince's sworn sister say?"
Seeing his disciple's anxious expression, Jiang Li couldn't help but chuckle. "Little San, what kind of person do you take your Master for?"
"Although Miss Xue could be considered a stunning beauty, her identity is far too complicated. In the end, she is not suitable for your Master."
Seeing Jiang Li speak so seriously, Tang San's suspended heart finally settled.
"Good, good. It seems I need to speed things up on my mother's side as well."
Tang San couldn't help but think to himself.
...
At the same time, after arriving at the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Tang Hao settled Tang Yuehua and then flashed into the interior of the Star Luo Imperial Palace.
In the past, before the Clear Sky Sect had closed its doors, they were staunch supporters of the Star Luo Empire.
The relationship between the two was similar to that between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Although Tang Yuehua's earlier suggestion was that, given their current circumstances, if they went directly to seek Emperor Dai Tianfeng, the support they might receive would likely be very limited.
After all, to put it bluntly, Tang Hao's reputation on the Douluo Continent was now ruined.
In that case, wouldn't it be better to go support Crown Prince Dai Weisi?
However, Tang Hao stated that he, the dignified Clear Sky Douluo, how could he serve as an advisor to some young upstart?
Seeing she couldn't persuade her second brother, Tang Yuehua had no choice but to let him have his way.
At this moment, Dai Tianfeng, who was intimately entwined with the Empress, suddenly felt himself locked by an immensely powerful aura. He instantly sprang up from the bed.
"Who dares to intrude upon my Star Luo Imperial Palace?"
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Empress Zhu Tiancai quickly came to Dai Tianfeng's side, ready at any moment to join him in unleashing their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Both of them possessed the cultivation of Soul Douluo. Once they used Netherworld White Tiger, they could unleash combat power rivaling a Titled Douluo for a short time, unlike the pathetic swans of the neighboring Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
With a surge of Soul Power, a figure clad in black robes appeared before the two.
"Your Majesty, this one is Tang Hao. There is no need for alarm."
