Thoughts on Spirit Hall

As the three of them arrived on the first floor and were about to find somewhere to sit and wait, they saw a handsome young man in a white fitted outfit and black cloak walk in from outside.

"Brother Su!" Chen Feng hurried over to greet him.

"It's Xiao Feng. You came to Nuoding City for school?" Su Yuntao reached out and patted Chen Feng's head.

"That's right. We just enrolled today. I also have to thank you, Brother Su, for helping me secure a Work-Study Student spot. It saved me quite a bit in tuition."

"It was nothing. With your talent, if you wanted to attend Spirit Hall's junior academy, the conditions would definitely be better than this." Su Yuntao took the opportunity to promote Spirit Hall.

"Ahaha, let's not talk about that for now. Are you busy, Brother Su?" Chen Feng deflected Su Yuntao's recruitment attempt with a smooth dodge.

"I just finished some business, so I'm free. Are you heading out to hunt soul beasts?" Su Yuntao looked at the three children and guessed.

"That's why they say Brother Su is wise and mighty. You got it in one." Chen Feng gave Old Su a thumbs-up.

"Don't try to sweet-talk me, kid. I'm not falling for that. Are you going to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest?" Although Su Yuntao said not to butter him up, the corners of his mouth that refused to stay down gave him away.

"No, we're going to Sand Gold Valley." Chen Feng shook his head.

"Sand Gold Valley? That works too. It isn't too far. I'll ask Master Ma Xiunuo for leave. The martial soul awakenings in the villages around Nuoding City have already been completed, and there's nothing important going on lately. He should approve it." With that, Su Yuntao headed upstairs to ask Ma Xiunuo for leave.

Watching his retreating back, Chen Feng could not help sighing inwardly. For the commoner soul masters of all Douluo Continent, the positive role Spirit Hall played truly could not be denied.

But as the saying went, no royal power lasted forever.

After developing for so many years, Spirit Hall's problems could not be ignored either.

If there had been a sufficiently wise and decisive leader at this point, Spirit Hall might truly have been able to transform itself and unify the entire continent.

Unfortunately... the current Pope of Spirit Hall was a crazy bitch. Unless she was dealt with, Spirit Hall's future was destined to be bleak.

And in Chen Feng's view, no one in Spirit Hall at present could shoulder the burden of turning the tide.

Qian Daoliu had devoted himself entirely to the inheritance of the Angel God Position. As for Bibi Dong, there was no need to mention her. The destruction of Spirit Hall might even be what she wanted to see.

As for Qian Renxue, a peerless genius with 20 levels of Innate Soul Power, she had run off to the Heaven Dou Empire to carry out some replacement scheme. After all these years, her strength had not improved at all.

Later, after Tang San exposed her in the palace, she had actually fled outright. Years of planning had been destroyed by a few words from an outsider.

What kind of earth-shattering wisdom was that?

Why was this girl so damned honest? Someone said you were fake, and you just admitted it?

As a politician, wasn't lying through your teeth a basic qualification? Even a fake had to be called real!

Some people dared to hold up a bag of laundry detergent and claim it was a chemical weapon. Those were the people with the qualities of a qualified politician. Qian Renxue was far too green.

At that point, couldn't you have just branded Tang San a rebel, launched a coup, sent the old geezer to his grave, and then taken the throne?

Or you could have held Xue Beng's head in your hand and forced the old geezer to abdicate.

You'd been crown prince for so many years, yet you didn't even dare rebel. What the hell kind of crown prince were you? You were worse than Liu Ju.

She actually accepted Tang San's accusation, fought him, and then ran away. Years of planning went down the drain, and her strength had not improved either.

She lost both the watermelon and the sesame seeds.

It was sheer absurdity. She clearly had no brains either.

If a foolish girl like that ever met Chen Feng, she might be tricked into having ten children before she even realized what had happened.

Unfortunately, a soul master organization that had been passed down for so many years and played such a positive role on the continent had lacked a qualified leader at such a critical moment. In the end, it collapsed in an instant, turning all Douluo Continent into the Tang family's continent.

"Ah..." Chen Feng let out a deep sigh.

"Why did you suddenly sigh?" Xiao Wu asked curiously from beside him.

"You're still too young. You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Chen Feng spoke with a profound expression.

"You!" Xiao Wu clenched her fists, wishing she could give Chen Feng a vicious beating.

"Calm down, calm down!" Tang San, who had remained silent until now, reacted as if by reflex and immediately grabbed Xiao Wu before she could explode.

"Xiao Feng, stop making her angry all the time."

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled as he watched Tang San and Xiao Wu tugging at each other.

Ever since entering Spirit Hall, Tang San had not said a word. Clearly, something was off with his mood. He was probably considering what relationship Spirit Hall had with his mother's death.

Now that Chen Feng had interrupted things like this, Tang San's attention was immediately diverted.

But this was not a long-term solution. He still needed to find an opportunity to make Tang San's target of hatred clear.

At the very least, he could not let the conflict spread. They should unite the majority and strike only at a small minority.

After all, most people in Spirit Hall were just workers. There was no reason for them to be dragged into the struggles of those Celestial Dragons.

Logically speaking, Qian Xunji, who had killed the Blue Silver Emperor back then, was already dead. Tang San's true enemy was gone.

But Tang San probably would not see it that way. Since the enemy who had killed his mother was dead, he would likely seek out the person who had informed on her back then.

If something else happened along the way and further intensified the conflict, Tang San would probably go on to hate all of Spirit Hall.

Then this world would return to the path of the original story, which was something Chen Feng did not want to see.

What he wanted was to cleanse Spirit Hall as an organization, allowing it to better fulfill its duties.

But such a thing was difficult to accomplish within Spirit Hall itself. Once someone entered it, they would be tightly entangled by its deeply rooted factions, making it extremely difficult to do anything afterward.

The best method was to place a useful pawn within Spirit Hall while he himself stayed outside and controlled things remotely.

That way, he could advance or retreat as needed and remain invincible.

Just as Chen Feng was considering his plans for dealing with Spirit Hall, Su Yuntao had already obtained leave and returned to the first floor.

"Let's go. The carriage is ready. We can set off."

Once outside Spirit Hall, Chen Feng saw a carriage bearing Spirit Hall's emblem parked not far away.

The carriage was fairly large, with enough room for three or four adults.

Chen Feng looked at Su Yuntao and said,

"Brother Su, could we pick someone up first? He's a teacher from our academy, and he'll be going to Sand Gold Valley with us."

"Oh? There's someone else? All right." Su Yuntao nodded and informed the coachman.

Once Su Yuntao and the three children climbed into the carriage, it slowly began moving toward Nuoding Academy.
