Qian Renxue Sets Her Sights on Lin Tian; Xiao Wu Is Spoiled as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast

Qian Daoliu held Qian Renxue's small hand and stirred the Angel Divine Power within him.

In an instant, the Angel God's inheritance mark, which had temporarily remained on him, transferred to Qian Renxue.

The moment Qian Renxue received the inheritance mark, the Angel God's will manifested in her mind, telling her to stop Lin Tian from marrying Gu Yuena.

"Grandpa, Lin Tian and I have no feelings for each other. Can he accept me?"

Qian Renxue knew how important this task was and could only accept it.

But she had no confidence at all, because she could guess that many women would seek Lin Tian out and win his favor.

By going now, she had long since missed her chance.

"I don't know, but I believe you have the ability and the qualifications."

"Xue'er, you must believe in yourself too."

"Even if there's no opportunity, you must find a way to create one, at any cost."

Qian Daoliu knew her concerns and knew it was already too late for her to go, but the Angel God's task had to be completed. This was the Qian Clan's mission.

"Yes, Grandpa. I'll do my best, at any cost."

Looking at the resolute Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue pursed her lips. She could only give him her word before flying away.

Qian Daoliu, meanwhile, continued on to Slaughter City.

Far away at Skywater Academy, Xue Ke saw the Heavenly Screen and no longer knew what to do.

Her eldest brother, who had doted on her since childhood, was actually Qian Renxue of Spirit Hall in disguise, and her fourth brother, who also doted on her, wasn't her real brother either.

She couldn't accept everything before her for the moment, and a mist gradually gathered in her eyes.

Seeing that Xue Ke was nearly in tears, Lin Tian thought his refusal of the marriage decree had wronged and hurt her, and he felt somewhat guilty.

Even so, he couldn't change his stance.

Ning Fengzhi, however, was in a good frame of mind. Although the Heavenly Screen's contents would make relations between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire even more strained, he didn't believe Xue Ye would turn against him after suffering such a devastating blow.

Thus, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was in no danger in the short term.

"Princess Xue Ke, you don't need to be so sad. I'm sure you'll find a better husband."

Lin Tian offered her a kind word of comfort.

Hearing his words, Xue Ke gradually came back to herself.

She had no mind to think about a husband now. She only wanted to return to Heaven Dou City and stay by Xue Ye's side.

"Lin Tian, thank you."

"Since you're unwilling, I won't bother you."

Impatient to return, Xue Ke replied to Lin Tian and turned to leave.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Xue Ke leave, Ning Fengzhi chased after her.

Xue Ke looked at Ning Fengzhi as he came after her, hostility in her eyes. "Sect Master Ning, is there something else?"

In her subconscious, the Heavenly Screen wouldn't lie.

Since the Heavenly Screen said Ning Fengzhi was deeply scheming and would shorten her imperial father's lifespan, it probably wasn't false.

Anyone who harmed Xue Ye or the Heaven Dou Empire was her enemy.

"Your Highness, I know the Heavenly Screen's contents have had a great impact on you."

"But you must understand one thing. The Heavenly Screen's spoilers are Lin Tian's inner thoughts, heavily colored by his personal feelings. They aren't very reliable."

"His Majesty's purpose in sending you to Skywater Academy was simple: to win Lin Tian over and find a way to make him your husband."

"If you return now, you won't be able to give His Majesty an account at all."

"Heaven Dou City has undergone upheaval and is fraught with danger. If you return now, not only will you be unable to help, you'll also prevent His Majesty from concentrating on affairs of state."

"So I suggest you stay and develop your relationship with Lin Tian. It won't be too late to return once things have settled down."

"If you manage to win Lin Tian's favor and obtain abundant rewards, wouldn't that be even better?"

Ning Fengzhi didn't want Xue Ke to return. He was counting on keeping her beside him as a hostage.

After the truth about Qian Renxue and Xue Beng was exposed, Xue Ke was Xue Ye's only daughter left.

From what he knew of Xue Ye, as long as Xue Ke was by his side, Xue Ye wouldn't dare make a move against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"You're right, Sect Master Ning. I really should stay."

"Thank you, Sect Master Ning!"

Hearing his words, Xue Ke matured considerably in an instant and hid the hostility in her heart.

Indeed, returning now would accomplish nothing.

For the Heaven Dou Empire's sake, she should win Lin Tian over as soon as possible.

Having thought it through, Xue Ke went back and placed the imperial decree in Lin Tian's hands again.

"Lin Tian, I know you can't accept this marriage decree right now."

"I can give you some time to consider it. Until then, I'll stay at Skywater Academy with you."

"As for the girlfriend you mentioned, I don't mind her either. We can compete fairly."

"Dean Shui, sorry for the trouble, but please process my enrollment."

Xue Ke firmly made her stance clear to Lin Tian, then turned and gave Shui Yun'er the order.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Shui Yun'er smiled bitterly and immediately processed her enrollment on the spot.

"Dean Shui, the real reason we from Spirit Hall came this time was to discuss a partnership with Skywater Academy."

"If you're interested, Dean Shui, Spirit Hall can invest in rebuilding Skywater Academy and turn it into the largest advanced Soul Master Academy on the Douluo Continent."

Spirit Luan Douluo also took the opportunity to state their purpose: to control Skywater Academy in the name of investment.

Ning Fengzhi panicked the moment he heard this and hurriedly spoke up. "Dean Shui, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is also willing to invest and do everything we can to help Skywater Academy rebuild its campus."

"Dean Shui, we of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family are willing to provide funding as well."

Xue Ke was no fool either, and she immediately made the decision on Xue Ye's behalf.

Shui Yun'er was no fool, of course, and understood what the three factions intended.

Since the major factions all wanted to possess Skywater Academy, she might as well let every interested faction invest.

The more investors there were, the better her chances of retaining control over Skywater Academy.

"Princess Xue Ke, Sect Master Ning, Your Excellency Shu Ya, Skywater Academy is planning to establish a boys' branch school and build a new academy."

"Since all of you are willing to provide funding, we at Skywater Academy warmly welcome you."

"If you aren't busy, why not stay at Skywater Academy so we can discuss the matter in detail?"

Shui Yun'er formally extended an invitation to the three major factions.

"Very well, we're willing to stay. Please process Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan's paperwork to study here as visiting students, Dean Shui."

"The three of them are Spirit Hall's finest students. Let them stay at Skywater Academy for the time being to exchange knowledge and study."

Spirit Luan Douluo agreed and made her request.

"No problem. If you have outstanding students, they can all come to Skywater Academy as visiting students, and they'll all be placed in Lin Tian's new class," Shui Yun'er readily agreed.

"Dean Shui, I'm Yu Xiaogang, a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. My student is Tang San, son of Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao. We'd also like to join Skywater Academy."

Seeing his chance, Yu Xiaogang told Shui Yun'er why he had come.

When Tang San saw that he had left Xiao Wu out, he hurriedly tugged at his sleeve.

Yu Xiaogang realized his oversight and could only add Xiao Wu as well.

"Oh, right, we have another student here. She's Xiao San's girlfriend, Xiao Wu."

"Like Xiao San, she's an outstanding genius. She isn't even twelve yet, but she's already a rank twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster."

Shui Yun'er was astonished to hear of Xiao Wu's aptitude. She hadn't expected that, besides the super genius Tang San, there would be another one in the world, and she immediately agreed.

"No problem. Skywater Academy welcomes you."

Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed to hear her agree and hurriedly thanked her. "Many thanks, Dean Shui."

Lin Tian was very unhappy to see Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Xiao Wu all enroll, and Xiao Wu's true identity flashed through his mind.

Why are they accepting just anyone?
