Qian Renxue's Preparations

"Have you received the content of the Second Trial?" Lu Yuan sat down and asked with a smile, looking at Qian Renxue across from him.

"I've received it. The Second Trial is: Sacred Light Body Forging. You must endure body tempering for six hours in the Nine Layers of Sacred Light! The time limit is one year." Qian Renxue nodded and explained the test content.

"Your assessment is similar to mine. My assessment involves enduring twelve hours of body tempering within the Nine Layers of Sacred Light, with a time limit of one year," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"Are you in twelve hours?" Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised to hear Lu Yuan's words. She hadn't expected that Lu Yuan's test would be more difficult than her own, the genuine Angel Inheritance.

However, upon further reflection, Qian Renxue understood. The assessment was tailored to the individual, and the more outstanding the person, the higher the difficulty of the assessment.

Although Qian Renxue considered herself exceptionally talented, she had to admit that she was still quite far behind Lu Yuan.

It's quite normal that Lu Yuan's assessment was more difficult than hers.

"So you can't participate in the qualifying rounds?" Qian Renxue put down the document in her hand, placed the pen on the pen holder, and then looked at Lu Yuan with her watery golden eyes, asking with a light smile.

"Of course I can't participate, but it's not a big problem. As for the promotion tournament, I've already handed it over to Zhu Qing. With her as a Soul King, sweeping through the promotion tournament will be a piece of cake. After all, there aren't any real experts in the promotion tournament."

"Furthermore, the qualifying rounds will take at least a month, plus other preparations and the time spent traveling to Spirit City, it will take at least two months, or even longer. With that much time, I think we should be able to complete the assessment," Lu Yuan said.

"Complete the assessment in two months?" Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Qian Renxue couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. This guy actually wanted to complete a task that had a year's time limit in just over two months. Did he really treat the Angel Trials as a joke?

"What if we can't finish it?" Qian Renxue asked.

"It's easy to handle if we can't finish it. The finals are in Spirit City, which isn't far from the Angel Temple. We can just take some time out of our schedules to attend the finals. It's very convenient and won't cause any problems," Lu Yuan said with a smile.

"That makes sense!" Qian Renxue nodded after hearing Lu Yuan's words. It seemed that this guy had already arranged everything, which was in line with his personality.

"And what about you, Xue'er? The Second Trial Angel Trial is approaching, and you will definitely be away for a considerable period of time. Have you made any preparations for these things? You are the Crown Prince; you cannot disappear for such a long time without a reason." Looking at Qian Renxue, Lu Yuan asked softly.

"Of course there is. Back when I became the crown prince, in order to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I actually found someone with a similar build to me as a backup. When I am not around, she will pretend to be Xue Qinghe and handle state affairs in my place."

"Otherwise, I would have been exposed long ago if I hadn't stayed in the Spirit Hall for so long while waiting for you, and no one had replaced me to impersonate Xue Qinghe. How could I be like now where nothing has happened?"

Qian Renxue said.

"I see. It's good that you were prepared." Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but nod. Then, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Won't this person be exposed? The reason you were able to successfully impersonate Xue Qinghe was because you had the Angel Soul Bone to cover it up. Even Titled Douluo couldn't see through it."

"But what about the person who replaced you? Can she hide herself well? You know, you can learn lifestyle habits in secret, but to disguise yourself well and not be discovered to be a fraud, especially to deceive the eyes of high-level Soul Master, is not an easy thing."

Looking at Qian Renxue, Lu Yuan's face showed a faint worry.

"Don't worry, the person impersonating me will hide very well. Her disguise is made from the Soul Bone of Mirage Demon Beast that is over 50,000 years old. It has extremely strong concealment. Although it is not as effective as the Angel Soul Bone and has some flaws, these flaws are not something Soul Douluo can detect."

"Even Titled Douluo wouldn't be able to see the clues unless they looked closely. And the Heaven Dou Imperial Family doesn't have many Titled Douluo. The ones she usually sees are Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo who are by Ning Fengzhi's side. So during this promotion competition, I will make sure she doesn't meet with Ning Fengzhi as much as possible."

"After the qualifying rounds are over, she should represent Xue Ye and go to Spirit City with the team. Then I will switch back with her, so that no one will know."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face.

"As expected of Xue'er, she is indeed very thoughtful. However, there is still a risk involved. Just because she doesn't seek out Ning Fengzhi doesn't mean that Ning Fengzhi won't come looking for her. After all, Ning Fengzhi is Xue Qinghe's teacher, so the possibility of him coming to find her is very high. And once she meets Ning Fengzhi, she might be recognized by the Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo by Ning Fengzhi's side."

"So in order to keep Ning Fengzhi busy for the next month or two, I will instruct Uncle Yan Ning Fengzhi keep him occupied for the next month or two, so that he has no time to appear in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace."

"Xue'er, what do you think of my idea?"

Lu Yuan asked with a light laugh.

"That's a great idea. This way, there's no possibility of being exposed." Qian Renxue's lips curled into a bright smile.

"So Xue'er, when do you plan to set off back to the Spirit Hall?" Lu Yuan asked softly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"How about the day after tomorrow? I need to arrange some things to avoid any mishaps. I'll also give you a day to spend with Zhu Zhuqing," Qian Renxue said with a light laugh.

"Then I must thank you. You've been so thoughtful, even setting aside a 'day' for me to spend with Zhu Qing," Lu Yuan said with a half-smile.

"What, you don't want to spend this day with Zhu Zhuqing? Fine then, from now on you're not going anywhere, just stay here with me." Qian Renxue glanced at Lu Yuan and said irritably.

"No, one day is better than nothing. I just didn't expect you to leave so suddenly." Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Lu Yuan quickly waved his hand and said.

"Time waits for no one, and the Angel Trials is related to my future ascension to godhood. How can I not be anxious?" Qian Renxue said.

"That's true!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

"However!" Lu Yuan's tone changed, his voice rising several octaves.

"But what?" Qian Renxue asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing. I originally wanted to stay and keep you company tonight, but since I only have one day left, I have to go back tonight," Lu Yuan said with a smile.
