Qian Renxue's Fury
Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed.
Chen Xin may have made the judgment that it was "only strong and not weak" because of his preference for sword-type Martial Soul.
Even if it's at the same level of strength as the Clear Sky Hammer, combined with Su Cheng's Self-Created Soul Skill, it would already be enough for him to become one of the top powerhouses on the continent.
In his view, Su Cheng came from an ordinary background and had no other forces behind him, which meant that as long as he could maintain and manage this relationship well, he would no longer have to worry about the next generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not having a guardian Douluo.
After calming down a bit, Ning Fengzhi took a sip of tea and casually asked, "Sword Uncle, Bone Uncle, do you think Qinghe has any problems?"
Not to mention the close ties between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Ning Fengzhi's nominal teacher-student relationship with Xue Qinghe alone would make it impossible for him not to know about the series of changes that have recently occurred within the Imperial Royal Family.
But the recent turmoil came too quickly and suddenly, involving a great many different forces. Enveloped in a thick fog of mystery, he couldn't see through the hidden truth.
"That's a question for you to consider; you don't need to ask us," Chen Xin said calmly.
Gu Rong showed no interest whatsoever in the political struggles he mentioned, and appeared equally uninterested.
"You should pay more attention to Ning Rongrong. Since she went to the academy, even though the two places are so close, she hasn't come back to visit us even once."
Ning Fengzhi smiled but remained silent upon hearing this.
He didn't think it was a bad thing at all.
The fact that Ning Rongrong can stay peacefully in the academy can only mean that there is someone there who matters to her more.
Five days later.
In the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace's study at the Tiandou Imperial Palace.
Qian Renxue sat upright behind her desk, her eyes lowered, her delicate brows furrowed, and her fingers tapping lightly on the table.
"Who exactly is behind this?"
First, Prince Xue Xing suddenly launched an attack, dredging up a bunch of old stories to accuse and criticize her.
Subsequently, Dugu Bo, the Imperial Guest Elder and Poison Douluo who had previously never cared about royal disputes, also stepped forward to personally testify about the suspicious circumstances surrounding the deaths of the two princes and the possibility of poison being mixed into the palace's food.
Immediately afterwards, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, far to the northwest of Heaven Dou, also came to join the fun, spending his days following Prince Xue Xing around the upper echelons of the empire.
Under these circumstances, even Xue Ye began to reclaim much of the Crown Prince's power.
This put a lot of pressure on her.
Indeed, in the long run, Prince Xue Xing and the Xue Beng pose almost no threat to her.
Qian Renxue's efforts in managing the royal family over the years have not been in vain. With the Crown Prince's righteous cause at stake, these events cannot shake her foundation.
However, in the past few months, a series of accidents have occurred around her armpits and elbows, causing her a lot of headaches.
This wasn't the most serious problem. What worried her was that the other party had a backup plan, and if this caused a flaw in her disguise, it would be extremely fatal.
"Young Master, a mysterious person has delivered a letter at some unknown time."
As she pondered how to deal with the subsequent changes, Snake Lance Douluo knocked on the door and came in.
"Who sent it?" Qian Renxue reached out and took it, her brows furrowing even more.
"We don't know yet, but to be able to bypass the Imperial Guards and be sent into the palace silently, one must be at least Soul Douluo- level expert."
"Soul Douluo..."
The area is too large to be located; several members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have recently arrived.
Qian Renxue opened the envelope and looked at the contents.
"Should I call you Your Crown Prince, or should I call you Young Master of the Spirit Hall?"
"After extensive investigation, I discovered that although the Former Pope Qian Xunji died at the hands of Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect, he still left behind a descendant in the world."
"But strangely enough, despite being a descendant of the Qian Family, this person has never appeared in the Spirit Hall."
"After further investigation, I learned that the Spirit Hall had left behind a set of Angel Set, one of which contained a Soul Bone that could give Soul Master a perfect disguise."
"I would like to offer you this advice: go back to your Spirit Hall and cultivate diligently so that you may inherit the position of Pope and carry on the will of the Angel God to benefit all living beings."
"Don't get bogged down in the quagmire of power and go astray, wasting your time."
"If you continue to be so stubborn and attempt to seize imperial power, I will expose the wolfish ambitions and ugly faces of your Spirit Hall to the world."
"Don't say you weren't warned!"
The instant I finished reading this letter.
An extremely ominous aura suddenly emanated from her.
Black mist immediately filled his eyes.
Standing not far away, Snake Lance Douluo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
"Su-Cheng-!"
Qian Renxue clenched her fist little by little, crumpling and crushing the letter in her hand.
"So it was you!"
Although the handwriting on the letter was clearly different from that of Su Cheng himself.
However, a person's writing habits cannot be completely changed.
Having repeatedly reviewed Su Cheng's research records and manuscripts over the past decade, and even read his diary, she was extremely familiar with Su Cheng's handwriting habits.
At first glance, there seems to be no problem, but the details are full of Su Cheng's traces.
Given that Qian Renxue already had some doubts, she realized almost immediately after reading the letter who wrote it.
In an instant, his thoughts surged, and his anger erupted, bringing him to the brink of exploding.
"Tap, tap, tap."
Just then, there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in."
A Soul Emperor pushed open the door and entered the room. "Young Master, Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whom you asked me to keep an eye on, left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy today. It seems she is heading towards Sunset Forest."
"Sunset Forest? Is anyone else with you?"
"Yes. Su Cheng is with her too."
"You're courting death!" Qian Renxue could no longer suppress her anger and said coldly, "Let's go, call the Pufferfish, and come with me to Sunset Forest immediately."
Upon hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo immediately froze on the spot. "But Young Master, what about the Empire? We are already under scrutiny from many sides. If we make such a big move, it will be easy for others to notice."
"I'm giving up on this mission," Qian Renxue said coldly.
This was not actually a decision she made in a fit of anger.
Prince Xue Xing's previous actions did not pose a fatal threat to her.
However, Xue Ye's suspicions are growing stronger every day, and it's unknown how much more time and energy it will take to complete the plan.
Having just learned that Su Cheng was behind the scenes, and with his disguise already seen through, there was no point in continuing.
Moreover, after that dream, Qian Renxue's alternate personality no longer wanted to waste time on any more plans to usurp the throne.
Being able to escape this quagmire smoothly at this point might not be a bad thing.
But Snake Lance Douluo clearly did not understand her choice.
He quickly advised, "Young Master, why are you in such a hurry? Besides, there's no need for us to go in person. Su Cheng is only a Three-Ringed Soul Grandmaster right now; sending two Soul Kings will suffice."
"Soul King? Ha, they don't deserve it!"
