"Even the Crown Prince can't do anything?"

Mo Bai found it a little hard to imagine that there were actually rules this rigid.

He did not believe that. As the crown prince of an empire, there was no way the other party could not handle such a small matter. The greatest possibility was that he was unwilling.

But if he was unwilling, then why had he come to see him?

Wouldn't it have been enough to have the admissions teacher reject him outright?

"In that case, I'll go to another academy. Crown Prince, farewell!"

He did not know why, but he might as well retreat in order to advance.

Mo Bai finished speaking with a look of indignation, then turned and left.

"Wait!"

Seeing Mo Bai's action, Qian Renxue hurriedly called out to him.

"Does Your Highness have something else?"

Mo Bai turned back to look at Qian Renxue.

"Although I can't let you enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I can send you to an academy no worse than Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

"It depends on whether you're willing!"

Qian Renxue smiled faintly.

"What academy is Your Highness talking about?" Mo Bai thought, as expected. The crown prince had come to see him despite clearly knowing he could not help him enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Sure enough, he had another purpose.

"I think you must have heard of it. Spirit Hall Academy!"

Qian Renxue did not keep him in suspense either, continuing to smile as she said the name Spirit Hall Academy.

"Spirit Hall Academy? Your Highness actually wants me to go to Spirit Hall Academy?"

Mo Bai was stunned when he heard Qian Renxue's words.

This was something he had not expected.

Spirit Hall Academy—of course he knew of it. It could be said to be the strongest soul master academy on Soul Land.

Mo Bai had thought about going to Spirit Hall Academy before, but Spirit Hall Academy was in Spirit City, which was somewhat far from here.

Moreover, what made Spirit Hall Academy different from other academies was that students who attended Spirit Hall Academy had to join Spirit Hall after graduating.

Mo Bai had not previously wanted to join any force so early, which was why he had given up on the idea of going to Spirit Hall Academy.

But he had not expected that now, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire actually wanted him to join Spirit Hall Academy.

Although the Heaven Dou Empire and Spirit Hall were not hostile to each other, they were ultimately two separate forces. And as far as he knew, the Heaven Dou Empire had no authority over Spirit Hall.

Although Spirit Hall was not an empire, it occupied the space between the two great empires, and Spirit Hall Branches were spread throughout the territory of both great empires.

Most of the soul masters on Soul Land were in Spirit Hall.

Strictly speaking, Spirit Hall was stronger than either of the two great empires.

And under such circumstances, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire actually wanted to push a genius like him toward Spirit Hall?

Crown Prince, are you an undercover agent sent by Spirit Hall?

Mo Bai complained inwardly.

Undercover?

"Crown Prince, do you want me to go to Spirit Hall as an undercover agent?"

Mo Bai's heart shook. Immediately, he looked at Qian Renxue in surprise and pressed her with a question.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Hearing Mo Bai's question in return, surprise flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes. Then she could not help but applaud Mo Bai in praise.

"Good. Very good. You actually guessed what I wanted you to do. From the looks of it, entrusting this task to you really couldn't be more suitable!"

Qian Renxue's praise came sincerely from the heart. She had not expected that before she even opened her mouth, Mo Bai would actually think of it himself.

In her eyes, this intelligence was no less impressive than Mo Bai's cultivation talent!

"How about it? Are you willing to help me go undercover in Spirit Hall?"

After she stopped clapping, Qian Renxue directly asked Mo Bai.

As for sending Mo Bai to infiltrate Spirit Hall, she did not know whether Mo Bai could always be used by her. However, even if he could not, as long as Mo Bai went to Spirit Hall, then if he abandoned her, his only choice would be Spirit Hall. That was enough.

If Mo Bai really could always be used by her, then after her plan succeeded, Mo Bai would still belong to Spirit Hall.

No matter what, she would not lose out.

She would not let a genius like Mo Bai slip away for nothing.

"Why should I infiltrate Spirit Hall for Your Highness? Can I get any benefits?"

After learning the Heaven Dou Crown Prince's plan, Mo Bai naturally would not blindly agree. The benefits he ought to fight for had to be fought for.

Go undercover in Spirit Hall?

It was not impossible. If things developed well over there, then he could simply stay in Spirit Hall outright.

In any case, he had no family or ties. Being an undercover agent had no binding force over him. If he wanted to do it, he would do it. If he did not want to do it anymore, then he would stop.

That would depend on how many chips the Heaven Dou Crown Prince in front of him could offer!

He had no loyalty toward the Heaven Dou Empire whatsoever.

"What do you want?"

Hearing Mo Bai's reply, Qian Renxue was also straightforward. Knowing that merely fooling Mo Bai would be useless, she directly let Mo Bai state his conditions.

In truth, as long as she fooled Mo Bai into going to Spirit Hall Academy, she would have succeeded. Whether Mo Bai was used by her afterward was not important.

But looking at Mo Bai before her, and thinking of his talent and intelligence, Qian Renxue suddenly felt deep down that truly winning Mo Bai over and making him one of her people would also be a good thing.

At the very least, with Mo Bai entering Spirit Hall, she could understand Spirit Hall's situation more clearly.

Also, if Mo Bai had the chance to come into contact with that woman, or even become a disciple that woman focused on cultivating, that would be even better.

With Mo Bai's talent, it was not impossible!

That way, through Mo Bai, she could learn some things about that woman.

Sometimes, she really wanted to know whether that woman ever thought of her in ordinary times!

She hated that woman, but she also yearned even more to obtain that woman's acknowledgment and concern.

Of course, these were only thoughts that flashed through Qian Renxue's mind. Even she herself did not believe Mo Bai could come into contact with the things she wanted to know.

She believed it was possible for Mo Bai to become a disciple that woman focused on cultivating. As for going a step further, she felt it was fine to just think about it.

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Mo Bai also fell into thought.

He thought about what benefits to ask for.

And judging from the fact that he was considering benefits, Mo Bai was already prepared to agree to Qian Renxue's arrangement.

It depended on whether Qian Renxue could satisfy his demands.

As for what kind of demand to make, Mo Bai also knew he could not go too far. For example, asking for soul bones and the like—Mo Bai felt that would be too excessive.

"I need Your Highness to help me collect some things!"

After a while, Mo Bai finally raised his head and looked at Qian Renxue as he spoke.

"What things?"

Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"Poisonous things. Anything poisonous. It can be poison from soul beasts, or it can be some poisonous materials. They need to be relatively rare and highly toxic!"

Mo Bai's heart stirred, and he thought of this. If he went to collect stronger poisons himself, it would waste too much time.

But if the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire did it, then it would be relatively simple.
