"Uncle Cixue, have Uncle Shelong come back!"

"As for investigating Xia Wuyou, I believe certain people are even more anxious about it than we are."

Qian Renxue already had an answer in her heart.

Whether it was the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Xue Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Until they uncovered Xia Wuyou's identity and background, they would not act rashly.

If Xia Wuyou truly belonged to Spirit Hall, then whoever took the lead would offend them beyond reconciliation, undoubtedly cutting off their own escape route.

With no room for reconciliation, that "trailblazer" could easily become a target of Spirit Hall and be used to kill the chicken and scare the monkeys.

But if Xia Wuyou was not from Spirit Hall, they would be even less willing to take the lead.

They had no desire to offend someone so young, powerful, and infinitely promising—someone certain to become a Peak Douluo proficient in the Space Attribute.

Xia Wuyou was still young and hot-blooded. If they truly offended him beyond repair, he might bear that grudge for the rest of his life.

It was an awkward situation now. They could not kill him; they could defeat him, yet could not catch him. They had no way of dealing with Xia Wuyou at all.

"Yes, Young Master. I understand!"

Hearing Qian Renxue's orders, Porcupine Douluo nodded.

"Hehe! Xia Wuyou, just who are you, and where do you come from?"

"A man as powerful and outstanding as you—I, Qian Renxue, will definitely recruit you for my own use!"

Qian Renxue's gaze burned brightly.

Clearly, Xia Wuyou had piqued her curiosity.

At twenty-five, he had already become a Seven-Ring Spirit Saint, with a Three Purple Three Black One Red spirit ring configuration. Even she, who possessed the Six-winged Angel Spirit and Innate Level 20 Spirit Power, the very Young Master of Spirit Hall, could not accomplish such a thing.

"Young Master, I'm afraid that will be difficult."

"Xia Wuyou's background is likely far from simple."

"He may come from some great Hidden Clan or major power."

"He may even be not much weaker than Spirit Hall."

Porcupine Douluo hesitated as he carefully analyzed the situation.

Compared to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family Xue Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, those three factions suspected Xia Wuyou was from Spirit Hall.

But he, Ci Xue, was a Titled Elder of Spirit Hall, and Qian Renxue standing before him was Spirit Hall's Young Master. How could the two of them not know whether Xia Wuyou belonged to Spirit Hall?

"Hehe! Uncle Pufferfish, who can say for certain? If the identity of Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, cannot recruit Xia Wuyou, then isn't there still the identity of Spirit Hall's Young Master?"

"With Xia Wuyou's talent and potential, becoming a Titled Douluo is a certainty. Even reaching Level 99 as a Peerless Douluo would be easy for him. He may even have a chance at the Deity of legend. He is worth my full effort to recruit!"

So what if Xia Wuyou's identity and background were extraordinary?

Qian Renxue remained extremely confident.

Setting aside that woman Bibi Dong for now!

There were the nine Titled Elders of the Titled Douluo Elder Hall.

And the seven elders of the Worship Hall, guarded by Peak Douluos and Peerless Douluos.

That made sixteen Titled Douluos, not to mention the foundation left behind by the Angel God ancestor of their Angel Family.

With strength and foundations as astonishing as Spirit Hall's, it was not something a random Hidden Clan, sect force, or even an empire could contend against.

If they had not feared provoking fierce backlash and united resistance from the Two Great Empires, the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, the entire Soul Master World, and countless ordinary citizens.

She would not have needed to spend so many years infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire. Spirit Hall would likely have swept across the entire continent with thunderous force long ago and achieved unification ahead of schedule.

"A Level 99 Peerless Douluo?"

"Level 100 Godhood?"

"Hiss! This Xia Wuyou is truly terrifying!"

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Porcupine Douluo was so shocked that his scalp went numb.

If anyone else had said such things to him, he would have mocked them a few times.

You bunch of misfits want to reach Level 99 as Peerless Douluos?

You bunch of worthless trash want to achieve Level 100 Godhood?

You're so great, why don't you just fly to heaven?

But the one saying this was Spirit Hall's Young Master, from the Angel Family that had once produced a Deity. He had no choice but to believe her.

"Uncle Pufferfish, prepare a gift for me. Tomorrow, I will personally go to Yanhuang Academy to recruit Xia Wuyou."

Qian Renxue immediately made her decision.

Tomorrow, she would personally visit Yanhuang Academy to meet Xia Wuyou.

"Yes, Young Master! Understood! I'll prepare it right away!"

After hearing Qian Renxue's orders, Porcupine Douluo silently left the room.

After organizing all the intelligence on Xia Wuyou that held little value, Qian Renxue also left the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace and headed directly deeper into the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

After meeting Xue Ye in the study, Qian Renxue briefly presented the intelligence on Xia Wuyou and calmly explained the possible origins of his identity.

After listening to "Xue Qinghe's" report, Xue Ye spoke in a deep voice.

"Qinghe, what do you think about Xia Wuyou?"

Clearly, Xue Ye was testing "Xue Qinghe's" judgment.

As the crown prince of an empire, he not only needed the ability to handle complicated state affairs, but also the eye to judge people and the ability to read the situation. Any person or matter that might affect the empire's stability had to be seen through in advance, then won over and recruited.

Even if they were to become enemies with someone, they first had to learn that person's background and stance. They absolutely could not wait until the other party had grown powerful and stood against the empire before reacting belatedly.

Xue Ye's question tested "Xue Qinghe's" ability to interpret intelligence, and even more so whether he could weigh the pros and cons with the broader perspective of a future ruler.

"Xue Qinghe" lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment before speaking steadily.

"Father, in my opinion, although Xia Wuyou poses no clear threat at present, our imperial family cannot completely lower its guard. After all, we cannot determine whether he came from Spirit Hall, nor why he seized Blue Tyrant Academy."

"I had originally planned to visit Yanhuang Academy tomorrow. That would also give me the chance to meet Xia Wuyou in person. Intelligence on paper will always have gaps; only direct contact can give us a clearer sense of his true background."

"At that time, I need only test Xia Wuyou and see what views and attitude he holds toward Spirit Hall. If he avoids discussing Spirit Hall, shifts uneasily, or speaks with hints of approval, then we must be doubly vigilant. If he clearly opposes Spirit Hall, then we can temporarily lower part of our guard."

"In this way, I can uncover Xia Wuyou's identity and stance without completely antagonizing him. This would be far more efficient than sending people to investigate him openly and in secret, and it would prevent our imperial family from becoming overly passive when dealing with unexpected situations in the future."

Within the quiet study, "Xue Qinghe" spoke with confidence and composure.

Hearing "Xue Qinghe's" analysis, Xue Ye's expression remained calm.

After pondering for a long while, Xue Ye seemed to have made some decision and spoke...
