Establishing a Vegetable Market

Even so.

The Spirit Hall has yet to realize this.

This is why Dai Tianran looks down on the Spirit Hall.

Soul Master, who value strength above all else, never considered this level of thinking!

The only thing to be wary of is the Spirit Hall's enormous number of Soul Master and the unknown number of Titled Douluo!

Titled Douluo, especially those above level 95, possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Master. If they were to intervene in a war, they would cause catastrophic damage...

"Father Emperor, do you mean that there are other people involved in the matter of Falling Star City?" Dai Weisi asked.

"That's right."

Dai Tianran snapped out of his reverie and patiently explained, "In short, I don't believe that anyone in the Spirit Hall's upper echelons has this kind of brain."

"Perhaps, the person in the shadows simply has a grudge against Dales and the Fallen Ones Dales colluded with, so they used someone else to do their dirty work..."

"However, the matter is in the past, and the specifics are no longer important. Right now, we should be thinking about the Continental Elite Tournament three years from now. At the finals, the Spirit Hall, my Star Luo Empire, and the dignitaries, even princes, from the Heaven Dou Empire will all be present. One of your tasks is to see through their open and covert struggles."

Dai Weisi agreed.

Dai Mubai, who had been watching the whole thing from the sidelines after being asked by Dai Tianran what level of Soul Power he possessed, was filled with extreme dissatisfaction.

He had clearly investigated the matter of Falling Star City, so why didn't his Father Emperor ask him about it?

In an instant, a thought arose in Dai Mubai's mind: his Father Emperor, Dai Tianran, had completely given up on him when he lost to Zhu Zhuqing and was given a letter of divorce. He only wanted to use him in the future to hone Dai Weisi and then become a stepping stone for Dai Weisi to reach the peak!

[Zhu Zhuqing! I'm going to make you regret this!]

At this moment, Dai Mubai blamed everything on Zhu Zhuqing, and also felt a trace of resentment towards Dai Tianran.

Although Zhu Zhuqing's letter of divorce was her personal choice and did not actually dissolve their engagement, her Father Emperor did not stop it, and the matter was even reported to the Royal Academy.

Playboy···

This was originally his "elegant nickname" at the Star Luo Royal Academy, and even in the entire Star Luo City.

He didn't care about other people's teasing and Taunt.

However, when news spread that Zhu Zhuqing had defeated him and divorced him, Dai Mubai was surprised to find that he could no longer bear the Taunt and teasing looks from others.

Those people dared not say it, but the look in their eyes directly stung him.

This greatly hurt his self-esteem!

Um--

It's strange. In the past, when he was self-destructive, cowardly, and looked down upon, Dai Mubai didn't feel much. But when his fiancée divorced him... even though the engagement still existed in essence, he just couldn't stand it.

This incident revealed something else: Dai Mubai is no good! He can't even beat a girl who's two or three years younger than him!

The White Tiger is no match for the spirit cat!

This is the real reason for Dai Mubai's resentment, and also why he felt that Dai Tianran had abandoned him.

Because he can't even beat Zhu Zhuqing, and might even have to rely on Zhu Zhuqing in the future to be comparable to his older brother Dai Weisi...

Being lustful can be described as being romantic!

Being divorced by Zhu Zhuqing could be seen as a way to make Dai Mubai feel ashamed and then strive harder, or it could be a prank between children!

But relying on women...

This is definitely a case of someone living off a woman!

Not to mention, Dai Mubai is the Third Prince!

Can he tolerate it?

This is absolutely unacceptable!

During this time, Dai Mubai also sought out Zhu Zhuqing, wanting to win back her, but he lost every time.

Reason?

Dai Mubai, who was busy working hard in Star Luo City after losing, was naturally unaware of this.

After defeating Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, or rather, Qingzhu Zhu, not only worked hard to cultivate her Soul Power, but also challenged students of the Star Luo Royal Academy to enhance her combat experience, and consulted her father about the weak points of the human body, hoping to kill him with a single blow with the advantage of speed.

She has been making progress!

[I can't stay in the Star Luo Empire any longer. I must prepare to leave as soon as possible!]

Dai Mubai made up his mind. He felt that his only chance of survival was to escape, break free from Dai Weisi's oppression and Dai Tianran's disdain, and flee to the Heaven Dou Empire. Perhaps, if he could build his own faction, he might even have a chance to contend with Dai Weisi...

···

In the blink of an eye.

The year-end has passed, and the new year has arrived.

Holy Soul Village, Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu suspended their classes. After all, villagers also needed to visit relatives and friends, and they couldn't take up the time that villagers had to communicate with each other.

The three of them left Holy Soul Village and wandered among more than twenty surrounding villages, observing the surrounding terrain and wind direction.

Purpose?

Planning for road construction.

"These hills and valleys, with their varying heights and depths, are filled with the wind and air, creating their own unique Aura Field."

Zhou Qing said to the two of them, "Building roads according to the terrain and the direction of the streams may allow the qi to flow more smoothly and even gather more Heaven and Earth Energy."

"Qing Ge, what do you mean?" Tang San thought of the situation in Falling Star City.

"That's right, just as you think."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Of the three thousand Soul Tool Core Formation on that Soul Guidance Crystal, didn't you test one of them and find that it had the effect of gathering spirits? The pattern of that Soul Tool Core Formation is quite similar to the mountains, terrain, and water features in this area."

"This shows that all things in the world are interconnected. Perhaps in the ancient times when Soul Tool were prevalent, humans learned from nature and created the great Soul Conductor civilization."

Tang San laughed and said, "Qing Ge is brilliant!"

Zhou Qing also said, "No, you're the amazing one!"

"Alright, you two are both brilliant and amazing!" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. "There are no outsiders here, who are you praising us for?"

Zhou Qing and Tang San exchanged a smile, everything understood without a word.

Afterwards, the three spent ten days surveying the terrain, mountains, and waterways to determine which mountains should be dug through and which streams and rivers should be diverted. Centered on the Skywell Cavern, they planned a road construction map that encompassed nearly twenty or thirty villages in the surrounding area.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass has the talent to Listening to All Things, and Zhou Qing's Innate Internal Scripture Chart is based on the human body Learning from Heaven and Earth. By combining the two and relying on their senses, and comparing them with the Soul Tool Core Formation that can gather the Heaven and Earth Energy, they can naturally plan out a general roadmap.

When Old Jack learned that Zhou Qing and Tang San had a natural cave near a stream in Holy Soul Village, which might be the place where Soul Saint had lived in seclusion two hundred years ago, he immediately led the able-bodied men of the village to visit it.

Later, upon learning that a meeting place would be built on the foundation of this Skywell Cavern, and that it would connect nearly thirty villages, including Holy Soul Village, Old Jack hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The hesitation stemmed from the fact that this was, after all, the place where the Soul Saint had lived in seclusion two hundred years ago.

The reason for agreeing was that Old Jack truly understood that Zhou Qing and Tang San genuinely wanted the Holy Soul Village Residents to have a better life.

After all, once the road was built, travel between villages became much easier, and this place could not only be used for meetings but also serve as Vegetable Market on ordinary days...
