Ning Fengzhi brushed aside the most important matter, and the conversation between the two then became a waste of time, at least from Han Li's perspective.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue had no choice but to put on a humble act and play along with Ning Fengzhi.

There was no way around it; on the surface, she, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was Xue Qinghe's strongest supporter.

The two chatted for another quarter of an hour before Ning Fengzhi excused himself, saying that he had sect affairs to attend to and that Xue Qinghe should visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect if he had free time. He then took his leave.

After respectfully seeing Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo off from the mansion and watching their carriage disappear into the distance, Qian Renxue returned to her room and removed her disguise.

"I feel there's something strange about this. What do you think?"

Qian Renxue subconsciously tapped the table lightly and turned her head to look at Han Li.

"Strange? What's strange? Zhu Zhuqing is right here in my house, who knows what he's thinking."

Han Li ignorance, saying that although there were some things he could tell Qian Renxue directly, who knew what would happen?

He still needed Tang San to take the blame for him, and it would be best if he got so bored that the gods would get tired of watching him and give up on giving him their attention. Naturally, they wouldn't want to expose the truth of the matter so easily.

"Never mind, you're being secretive too."

Qian Renxue rolled her Byakugan at him and gave up on asking further questions.

In her opinion, if Han Li hadn't brought it up himself, it probably wasn't a big deal.

"But if you didn't actively seek out Zhu Zhuqing, then what were you doing at the academy? Looking for Ye Lingling?"

Qian Renxue couldn't think of anything else that Han Li would care about at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. She had been there too many times, but she hadn't found anything.

"I was bored, so I went to see what my peers were doing."

After Han Li finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh. The excuse was so lame that even he found it ridiculous.

Qian Renxue stared at him with a look that said, "Guess if I believe you?"

"Okay, I'm going to find Ye Lingling."

Han Li went straight to the point, choosing a reason that Qian Renxue could accept.

"I knew it."

Qian Renxue gave him a disdainful look. With this, he still had the nerve to say that her judgment was inaccurate.

Han Li ignored her "I knew it" expression and continued, "Since you guessed it, then deal with the Ye Family as soon as possible. I can provide you with a batch of medicine to verify the Ye Family's problems and also slightly improve their strength."

"Of course, you have to exchange something for it."

Seeing that Qian Renxue's eyes had brightened, Han Li added another sentence.

"Knew."

Qian Renxue glared at him and muttered, "You poached my people, and I didn't stop you. In the end, you even had to spend money. Ning Fengzhi's heart isn't as black as yours."

"You can't say that. The Ye Family's oath of allegiance to you and the Heaven Dou Empire is not the same thing. Besides, I didn't take Ye Lingling with me. Even after she strengthens herself, she's still under your command, representing the academy in the Soul Master Competition. I haven't even asked you for her appearance fee yet."

Han Li wasn't buying it; he was far more adept at twisting concepts than Qian Renxue.

"Alright, name your price."

Seeing that she hadn't managed to fool him, Qian Renxue gave up on the idea and turned her attention back to Han Li.

"I don't want money, I want the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."

Han Li revealed his true intentions and decisively made his demands.

"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud? That national treasure? What do you need it for?"

When Qian Renxue transformed into Xue Qinghe, she came into contact with this national treasure and even touched it with her own hands. However, after so many years of inheritance by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, this thing has always been more symbolic than practical.

"Could it be something extraordinary?"

Ask whatever comes to mind; Qian Renxue has never hidden her emotions from Han Li.

"I suppose so. It's similar to the Angel Holy Sword passed down in your family, but it's incomplete."

Han Li did not hide anything about this. Although Qian Renxue had not yet started the God Exam, she still knew some things.

"That's amazing?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback; she truly hadn't expected that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was actually related to the gods.

She had always thought it was a broken Soul Tool passed down from ancient times, since its function was quite useless.

(As mentioned in the first season of Douluo I, the technology for making Soul Tool has been lost.) "Hmm, it's useful to me. Perfect timing, you haven't given me the two Soul Bone you promised before. With this, it can be considered as payment."

Han Li wasn't so heartless as to betray his teammates; in fact, he was just finding a reason to subsidize her.

To be honest, with his current strength, he could easily sneak into the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury and take it without anyone noticing.

"Deal, but I need some time. Why don't you go pick it up yourself? Just don't make too much of a fuss."

Qian Renxue felt a headache coming on when she thought about how she would have to deal with a bunch of people if she went through the proper procedures, and she actually said that Han Li go and get it himself.

Hearing her words, Han Li looked at her speechlessly. Was this karma? He had pushed the matter to Qian Renxue, but she had actually pushed it back to him.

"No, I only asked you to go because I didn't want to cause a commotion, okay?"

"Fine, how about this: you tell me what the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud looks like, and I'll make you a fake one. You can replace it later, okay?"

Han Li seemed to have thought of something interesting, and with a slight smile, he made a new suggestion.

Yes, that's definitely feasible. It can also be used to scam people later, killing two birds with one stone.

"That's fine, it'll save me trouble later."

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and she decisively agreed to his suggestion. Then she remembered a very important question.

Seeing that she initially agreed, but then looked troubled, Han Li looked at her curiously and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"I can't draw, and if I try to control it with my Soul Power, it won't be that precise."

Qian Renxue shrugged. Neither the Spirit Hall nor the Heaven Dou Imperial Family were within her scope of expertise. She knew a little about appreciation, but asking her to draw it would be asking too much of her.

"That's not a problem."

Han Li thought it was some major problem, but it turned out to be just this reason. He immediately waved his hand and activated Mental Sharing. A God's-eye view, clear enough to see dust, appeared in Qian Renxue's mind.

"Soul Bone Skill?"

Like a curious child, Qian Renxue observed everything around her in this situation and casually asked a question.

"Hmm, the new skull skill I acquired isn't bad, is it?"

As he spoke, Han Li then demonstrated the functions of elemental vision and Soul Power circulation routes, somewhat showing off.

"Indeed very strong."

Qian Renxue's thoughts went astray, and she seemed somewhat depressed.

"I was planning to spar with you soon, but it looks like I'll have to postpone it again."

She felt a little envious, but Qian Renxue also clearly knew that Han Li's strength had probably increased significantly under these circumstances, so she temporarily gave up the idea of challenging him to a duel.

She is strong-willed, but not stupid; she has no interest in being beaten.

Han Li smiled but didn't provoke her any further.

However, he also decided to reveal his improved strength every now and then so that she could maintain her competitive spirit.

Of course, he wasn't some kind of devil; he was just trying to spur her on. That's right, that's exactly it.

"Recall what the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud looks like, and then try to sketch it out with your Spiritual Power."

Han Li gave her a word of advice and then stopped bothering Qian Renxue.

As Spiritual Power increases, Soul Master ' memories are generally quite good. As Qian Renxue recalled, a gem-like object with a completely azure color appeared in her Spiritual Space.

It was an extremely strange object, its entire body a crystal-clear blue, and it was three-dimensionally triangular.

It appears to be carved from sapphire, only the size of a palm, with a shimmering blue light and a strange energy fluctuation constantly emanating from it.

On this blue triangular body, there are ripple-like patterns, which don't seem to be carved, but rather seem to be alive.

That's about it.

Qian Renxue opened her eyes, looked at Han Li, and asked him if the plan was feasible.

"It's not too difficult, it's even easier than I expected. Wait a moment."

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and a sapphire the size of a human head appeared in his hand, which he then split in two.

It wasn't that he had prepared in advance; he just grabbed it when he went to the Chamber of Commerce to pick up the medicinal herbs.

After he discovered that he could use Soul Bone to carve regular patterns and achieve certain effects, he consciously began to look for alternative materials.

After all, even a broken Soul Bone is a rare item, and it can't withstand his reckless actions.

After a simple test, he turned his attention to various natural gemstones. Although the effect was weaker and they needed to be replenished with energy regularly, and they weren't exactly cheap, the cost was many times lower than the previous Soul Bone fragments.

"You've prepared too thoroughly. I'm starting to suspect that the Ye Family and Ye Lingling are just excuses for you, and that you're only here for the sake of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."

Qian Renxue watched as he started forging documents right in front of her and couldn't help but complain.

"It's not that bad, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. If we were really prepared, I wouldn't be so polite, as I mentioned before."

While carving rapidly, Han Li still had the energy to refute Qian Renxue's complaints.

"I don't know about other things, but I'm sure you've had your eye on the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud for a long time."

Qian Renxue said with absolute certainty.

This time, Han Li didn't refute it. Of course, he'd been eyeing it for over a decade. Whether it was useful or not was another matter; even if it rotted, it would rot in his hands.

He quickened his pace, continuously carving out patterns, while also controlling his own Soul Power, slowly infusing it into the patterns.

He had never seen the original, but given his current state, it wouldn't be difficult for him to make a simple imitation. After all, no one would actually use a national treasure.

After a while, he handed the sapphire in his hand to Qian Renxue was still dumbfounded.

"Look, how about it? Can it pass for the real thing?"

Qian Renxue took the sapphire, examined it carefully for a while, and then said, "It's a little different, like it's missing something, but it should be enough."

"That's good. Then I'll leave the matter of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to you."

"By the way, just a reminder, don't touch that thing out of curiosity, or your partner will get angry."

Han Li's expression turned serious, and he pointed up without his noticing.

"Okay, I understand."

Qian Renxue was taken aback for a moment, then replied solemnly.

Seeing that she had received the message, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she knew what was important.

He wasn't worried about anything in particular, but given the nature of the Sea God, if Qian Renxue really got involved with him, she might actually succeed to the position of Sea God smoothly.

At that time, Qian Daoliu might go mad and fight Han Li to the death with the Holy Sword.

Although, for a fleeting moment, Han Li did have such thoughts and was quite tempted.

But in the end, he forcibly suppressed his desire to do something reckless, and pushed that restless impulse back into his heart.

However, the Seagod Successor, wielding a trident and possessing the Angel Martial Soul with six wings on his back, is truly quite impressive.

I wonder if it will emit golden or blue light from behind, and if it will wear white or blue stockings in its Divine Armor state?
