Qian Renxue's support
After today's Soul Fighting ended, Wu Qi did not return to the academy immediately.
After parting ways with Qiangu Changkong at the entrance of the Great Soul Arena, he went to the Crown Prince's Residence alone.
During his journey to the Icefire Yin Yang Well, he obtained a special Immortal Herb — the Radiant Lightglow Herb.
This item is of great help to Light-type Soul Master, and is most suitable for Qian Renxue, who possesses the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
As for Qian Daoliu, his Talent has reached its limit. Giving him Immortal Herb would not improve his strength further, let alone allow him to inherit the Deity Position.
The faster Qian Renxue's strength increases, the less likely Qian Daoliu's "downfall" will be as swift and complete as in the Original Space-Time.
Why did Wu Qi want to build his own power base? It was precisely because Qian Daoliu was unreliable.
The other party was indecisive and always sought balance in everything, ultimately Bibi Dong as she pleased, plunging the entire Spirit Hall into utter ruin.
With a powerful force at their disposal, Qian Daoliu wouldn't be caught off guard when he "fell from power."
If Qian Daoliu can withstand the pressure, this force might become White Glove for the Worship Hall; otherwise, it could become a reserve force to fight against Bibi Dong!
Furthermore, Dugu Bo and the Wind, Water, and Fire Families are not fond of the Spirit Hall. Directly recruiting them into the Spirit Hall would not only be difficult, but there is also a high possibility that Bibi Dong would intercept their offer.
Wu Qi always believed that one should take control of one's own destiny, rather than relying on the indecisive Qian Daoliu.
While he was pondering, he had already arrived at the gate of the Crown Prince's Residence.
With Xue Qinghe's prior instructions, the guards did not stop him, and he arrived at the study without any hindrance.
Sensing his presence, Xue Qinghe put down the paper and pen in her hand, looked at him, and examined him closely.
"Your Crown Prince, how have you been?" Wu Qi clasped his hands in a fist salute.
Xue Qinghe nodded blankly, gesturing for the other person to sit down.
After a moment, he asked, "I'm very curious, why has your Soul Power Level increased so rapidly in just one month?"
"You mentioned going on a training expedition with Poison Douluo. Did you encounter some kind of Fortuitous Opportunity?"
The only things Qian Renxue could think of that could rapidly increase her strength were Soul Bone and Divine Trial.
If it were Soul Bone, Dugu Bo wouldn't have handed it over to Wu Qi so readily, so it must be the Divine Trial.
Wu Qi, unaware of his thoughts, explained, "It's Immortal Herb."
Then, he recited the lines he had rehearsed earlier, one by one.
He was unsure how close Qian Renxue's connection was to the Worship Hall, so it was best not to reveal the existence of the Icefire Yin Yang Well for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
If Wu Qi truly obtains the Divine Trial, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the Spirit Hall.
The Immortal Herb was Fortuitous Opportunity of luck for Wu Qi, and he didn't intend to ask any further questions about it.
"By the way, what's the situation between you and Poison Douluo? I heard from the Three Education Committee Members that you two get along very well. He hasn't caused you any trouble regarding Dugu Yan?"
Wu Qi shook his head, "Due to some special reasons, my relationship with Senior Dugu has successfully thawed. Although he will not join the Spirit Hall, he guarantees that he will not oppose the Spirit Hall."
That's already excellent.
As for Prince Xue Xing's matter, it needs to be handled step by step.
After a pause, Wu Qi gave a wink, and Xue Qinghe understood. He immediately ordered the two hidden Snake Lance, Snake Thorn Blood, to seal off the entire study.
After doing all this, Wu Qi took out a celestial Immortal Herb that emitted Light Aura from his Soul Tool.
Xue Qinghe could clearly sense that this Immortal Herb had some kind of attraction to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
It seemed that as long as he absorbed this Immortal Herb, his strength would undergo a qualitative change.
What is this?
"Radiant Lightglow Herb is of great help to Light-type Soul Master."
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and asked, "Is this the Immortal Herb you spoke of?"
Wu Qi nodded. "I still have a few more. I plan to ask my Master to come to Heaven Dou City so I can take the Immortal Herb back for my grandfathers to absorb. Perhaps they can break through their long-standing bottlenecks."
"However, I definitely can't give it to the Great Enshriner. Light-type Immortal Herb are rare enough; having even one is a stroke of luck."
Xue Qinghe readily agreed and took the letter from the other party. "I will explain this to Grandpa privately. You don't need to worry, Grandpa isn't Petty-minded and won't blame you for this."
"On the contrary, you have rendered great service to the palace this time, and Grandpa intends to make you a member of the Golden Generation. Now there is finally a reason for this."
"Huh?" Wu Qi blinked.
So, how did he end up being part of the Golden Generation"?
He kept talking about dealing with the Golden Generation, but now he's just fighting himself.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Xue Qinghe smiled and explained, "The Papal Hall has already nominated the Golden Generation, but Grandpa has been holding back the approval process because he wanted to add your and Chang Kong's names to the list."
"You've done a great service this time. Whether it's for your disciple or to get Grandpa to give in, that woman will definitely be forced to compromise."
However, the identities of Wu Qi and the Golden Generation of Qiangu Changkong will not be made public in the short term; they will only be announced to senior management internally.
Once they ascend to the stage of power within the Spirit Hall, this title will be made public along with their resumes.
In this way, Wu Qi no longer had any worries.
After explaining how to consume the Immortal Herb, he took his leave.
"Wait a minute." Xue Qinghe called out to him, a faint smile on her face. "Little Wu, thank you."
As he spoke, he gently patted the other's shoulder, "If anything happens in the future, I will always support you. Grandfather and the others aren't old-fashioned; as long as you don't harm the interests of the palace, they won't object."
Wu Qi nodded, thanked him, and turned to disappear into the night.
From the shadows, Snake Lance and Thorn Blood appeared in the study.
"What are your thoughts on the two grandfathers appearing now?" Qian Renxue leaned back against the desk.
Snake Lance Douluo pondered for a moment, then said, "Young Master, that boy's behavior is too unpredictable, and his relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is unclear. I'm worried that he might expose his identity, which could lead to the complete failure of Young Master plans."
Xue Qinghe was not unaware of this matter.
He knew Wu Qi was a smart man, and that Wu Qi must have his reasons for contacting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; it might not necessarily be a bad thing.
Furthermore, he just said he would unconditionally support the other side, and now he's changed his mind. Isn't that a huge slap in the face?
"His affairs are his own to decide, and there's no need to discuss them further!" Xue Qinghe set the tone.
Immediately afterward, he quickly wrote Letter and ordered Snake Lance Douluo to send it back to Spirit City overnight.
After leaving the Crown Prince's Residence, Wu Qi pondered how to win over the Wind, Water, and Fire Families.
Now he has returned and is displaying formidable strength.
When Feng Xiaotian returns, it will inevitably spark discussion among the elders of his family.
At the earliest, the Clan Head of the Wind and Fire Families will definitely invite him to discuss the matter.
This negotiation is crucial, and he must be fully prepared beforehand.
During the discussion, the other party, seeing his youth, will inevitably try to set traps at every turn.
Wu Qi knew his abilities were limited, and all he could do was uphold his principles.
Before that, clearly defining the bottom line is of paramount importance!
PS: From now on, when in disguise, I will be referred to as Xue Qinghe; only when I remove the disguise will I be called Qian Renxue. Please be aware of this.
