Preparing to Open a "Winery"

The coachman didn't know much about Tang Yuehua's background, but based on the information revealed so far, Tang San guessed that Tang Yuehua was most likely a member of the Clear Sky Sect.

How could a woman, without any background and with only the strength of Soul Scholar Master, possibly open the Moonlight Pavilion in Heaven Dou City, a place specifically for serving nobles?

But if there's a powerful backer, why do people avoid talking about it?

At least the people living in Heaven Dou City should be able to understand this to avoid inadvertently offending others and suffering the consequences.

Therefore, it is only possible that Tang Yuehua has a powerful backer, but has violated some taboo, so that no one dares to say it openly, and ordinary people can only speculate in private.

If my assumption is correct, then the Lord of the Moonlight Pavilion's departure from Heaven Dou City was likely to return to the Clear Sky Sect to personally convey important events that had recently occurred in the Soul Master World.

Tang San seemed to be deep in thought.

And indeed, just as Tang San had thought, Tang Yuehua temporarily closed Moonlight Pavilion after the Preliminary Competition of the Continental Elite Tournament, claiming that she was going home to visit relatives; but in reality, she was there to send news about the "Soul Ring Secondary Refinement Theory," the Qi Field Power, and the situation of the Nuoding Team back to the sect.

To be on the safe side, Tang Yuehua even personally returned to the sect to deliver the message, so that the elders within the sect, as well as her elder brother, Tang Xiao, would be on guard, and that they could secretly send people to investigate the area where Nuoding Academy was located.

Zhou Qing, who had a half- God's eye view, also noticed this. After arriving in Fasinuo Province and getting off the carriage, he said to Tang San, "Tang San, I estimate that Tang Pavilion Master really might be a member of the Clear Sky Sect... Our commotion this time has caused quite a stir. Who knows how many monsters and demons will come to our territory in the future."

Tang San Qing Ge, "We'll meet force with force and water with earth. Just as you've said before, as long as they don't launch a forced attack on us, it doesn't matter."

"That's true, we might even need their help."

At this point, Zhou Qing recalled a "Wine Factory" from an anime he had watched in his previous life, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's wrong with you?" Romantina asked curiously. "Is there something funny? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"I just thought of something interesting."

Zhou Qing didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "Speaking of which, have you ever thought about what it would be like if, apart from us and the younger generation we personally trained, everyone else in a faction were spies for various major forces on the continent?"

Tang San: "..."

How chaotic must their power be?

From now on, their main task will not be development, but to keep searching for undercover agents!

"Don't worry, Qing Ge, if there's ever an undercover agent, I'll definitely find him!" Wang Sheng said confidently.

"There's no need to go to such an exaggeration, at least not in the early stages of our development."

Zhou Qing shook his head slightly and said to everyone, "As long as the undercover agents are not from the same faction, they will be wary of each other, and may even work harder to complete the tasks we assign in order to gain our trust."

"If we operate properly and prevent these undercover agents from understanding our fundamentals, then they will be our best labor force. In fact, with multiple undercover agents cooperating and confronting each other, our Worker-Peasant Alliance may develop even faster."

"Of course, in the later stages, when our own people have grown up, these undercover agents will need to be replaced one by one."

This is what is meant by "Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs"!

In the original story, the Shrek Academy students originally wanted to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which was also Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs the resources of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cultivate the Shrek Seven Devils.

But Zhou Qing's idea of using a borrowed hen to Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs was different—

He wanted those "old hens" to come to their territory on their own initiative, not only to lay eggs, but also to help remove pests, and even to slaughter them for soup when they grew fat.

"Can things really go this smoothly?" Xiao Wu asked, surprised and uncertain.

"Definitely not."

Zhou Qing shrugged and said nonchalantly, "If they don't come, that's the simplest way; we can just focus on our own business. But if they do come and want to uncover the truth behind our strength, then they'll have no choice but to work for us. As long as they generally follow our plan, that's fine."

After thinking it over, Tang San felt that it might be worthwhile.

"Zhou Qing, Tang San! You're back!"

Not far away, Mo Hen, Bu Yi other seven waved to each other.

Unlike Zhou Qing and his group who went to Sunset Forest to hunt Soul Beast, Mo Hen and Bu Yi returned to Fasinuo Province with Nuoding Academy Dean ahead of time.

"You're finally back." Nuoding Academy Dean walked over a step later and said with a smile, "Zhou Qing, your research on Martial Soul cultivation is probably unmatched in the world, especially you. You're only nine years old and you've already reached the Soul Ancestor. Your future is limitless."

"Dean, you've misjudged him. Zhou Qing isn't Soul Ancestor anymore," Xiao Wu Righteous Path, "He's Soul King!"

"Soul King?"

Nuoding Academy Dean was stunned.

Zhou Qing didn't hide anything and said, "I had a bit of luck in the Sunset Forest and managed to break through to the Soul King level."

Nuoding Academy Dean remained silent for a while before saying Youyou, "Why didn't I have such good fortune?" However, he knew this was Zhou Qing and the others' secret, so he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he brought up another matter. "To be honest, if we don't meet Xue Ye, the road ahead won't be easy."

"Uh, what is it? We're not going. Dean, you can go with Teacher Mo Hen." Zhou Qing blinked.

Nuoding Academy Dean shook his head. "You young people really have ideas!"

"Hey, if none of you main characters are going, what are we supposed to do? Besides, we'd like to go, but when Xue Ye bestows titles, only members of the battle team can enter. The academy's dean and teachers can only wait outside the palace."

Mo Hen was speechless, but he did mention something. "To be honest, with your strength, you can only achieve better development by joining Advanced Academy or a sect. Our Nuoding Academy has already received many invitations from the Advanced Academy, specifically asking you to join their academies."

"Teacher Mo Hen, over the past three years, you have been invited to teach children at Hope Primary School during holidays. How could you not know what we are thinking?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile. "We are used to being free and don't want to listen to the nobles. We just want to develop our hometown area."

How could I not know about the Mo Hen?

Seeing Zhou Qing's sharp gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "What you're going to do isn't easy, but... never mind, I've already joined you."

After saying that, he looked at Bu Yi with deep affection and took her hand.

Bu Liu and Bu Qi stared in disbelief, exclaiming in unison, "Sister, you used your beauty to seduce me?"

"What honey trap?"

Bu Yi put her hands on her hips and scolded, "I chose Mo Hen because I saw that he was a good man!"

Zhou Qing and Tang San could both see the astonishment on each other's faces, not understanding how Mo Hen had managed to win Bu Yi's heart. But they then congratulated each other, saying, "Congratulations! Remember to invite us to your wedding banquet!"

"Definitely! Definitely!"

Mo Hen's waist was pinched hard by Bu Yi, but his face was full of joy...
