Qian Renxue, Muzan

"Shouldn't you be angry?"

Suddenly, Qian Renxue's voice rang in Han Li's ears.

He turned his head to look, and Miss Angel's expression had an indescribable sense of collapse, which was hard to describe in specific words.

Why should I be angry?

"Because His Majesty the Pope betrayed my interests?"

Han Li appeared quite composed, even casually picking up a grape and putting it in his mouth. "But, isn't this something we could have guessed from the beginning?"

"Besides, my things aren't so easy to take."

Han Li's smile was very strange, and he even waved his finger in front of Qian Renxue's face. "With everyone in the Spirit Hall having sworn an oath to obtain the original Mysterious Heaven Skill, it is impossible for His Majesty the Pope to reveal it to Yu Xiaogang."

"She can't and won't do that, so what do I have to worry about? Why do you think that what I release will be so easy to take or change?"

"You should know very well that I have never been a philanthropist. The last group of people who tried to use me as a stepping stone are still struggling to recover in the Spirit Hall."

Qian Daoliu listened silently. He knew that Han Li was referring to Hu Liena and the other two. He glanced at his granddaughter, whose emotions were very unstable, and sighed inwardly.

"You did this on purpose?"

Qian Renxue's face revealed an unprecedentedly Evil expression.

After the Seventh Trial began, she was indeed greatly affected. An expression that should never have appeared on her was now incredibly natural, even giving Han Li a sense of amazement.

The contrast is just amazing! But you should get back to normal quickly. I don't really trust you like this, Han Li muttered to himself.

"Of course not. How would I know that Yu Xiaogang would covet the Mysterious Heaven Skill? But, as you know, I always like to have a backup plan. You can ask my Grand Uncle-Master if he would dare to arbitrarily modify the technique."

"Besides, putting everything else aside, I trust Yu Xiaogang. He may not be good at doing serious things, but he's definitely a master at doing bad things."

Han Li pointed at Gang Zi on the screen in front of him, his expression extremely serious.

Just kidding. He has Plane Consciousness, and it took him a long time to simplify it. It's only been half a year since he publicly released the Mysterious Heaven Skill. He even drained Gang Zi's luck. With his half-baked skills, he still chose the Ren and Ren and Du Meridians. If he succeeds, Han Li will change his surname to Yu.

If someone who hasn't even opened up his Ren and Du Meridians and doesn't dare to cultivate now, and only relies on the original meridian diagram and half-guesses and half-imagination to modify the cultivation route, could really improve the Mysterious Heaven Skill, then he wouldn't be in this state now.

Moreover, Han Li had already tested it through the Plane Consciousness. If a person above the Soul Saint cultivated according to his modified cultivation path, it wouldn't have much of an impact once or twice, but if their Soul Power didn't surge after seven days, Han Li lose.

Those below the Soul Saint, with high talent and naturally unobstructed meridians, are fine; it's just a matter of Soul Power surging. But for those with poor talent, the moment they open their Ren and Ren and Du Meridians, they explode and die.

Even if the meridians aren't fully opened, following the modified energy path will still severely damage them. It might be okay in the short term, but if it doesn't last more than a month, you'll be lucky to avoid becoming a cripple.

Of course, it's not without its merits; changing the direction of Soul Power circulation does indeed increase the speed of cultivation in the early stages.

Envious, aren't you? They traded their future for this.

Looking at Bibi Dong on the light screen, who was trying to run the cultivation route drawn by Yu Xiaogang, and seeing the joy on Yu Xiaogang's face and Bibi Dong's well-hidden emotions, Han Li wanted to roar to the sky.

He really didn't mind the other party making it public; in fact, he was somewhat looking forward to it. Given Yu Xiaogang's stubbornness and Bibi Dong's current unstable mental state, he didn't believe they would spend a lot of time conducting tests.

Well, it doesn't matter if it's just a test. Most people from the Spirit Hall have better versions of the original Mysterious Heaven Skill to cultivate. Who would spend a week, or even more, cultivating a flawed version? As for those outside, those below the Soul Saint level, it would take at least a month to see the problem. Not to mention Bibi Dong, could Yu Xiaogang afford to wait? Even if they could, Han Li didn't care. This was an unexpected bonus. He initially just wanted Qian Renxue to see her "older sister's" performance and help her pass the Angel God Exam. It was a win-win situation no matter how you looked at it.

Qian Renxue did not answer Han Li's question. She was staring intently at the light screen, her emotions and Soul Power fluctuating wildly.

She wasn't stupid either. From an outsider's perspective, some things about Bibi Dong were far too easy to discover, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Um?"

Han Li raised an eyebrow. The Plane Consciousness told him that someone was approaching the palace where the two were talking, outside the light screen.

He glanced at Qian Renxue subconsciously, only to meet her gaze, which she forcefully looked away from.

"I'm fine."

The moment she met Han Li's gaze, Qian Renxue stubbornly spoke up.

Before I could even speak, Han Li glanced at her but didn't say anything, because, as he said, what she couldn't accept was yet to come.

To be honest, although Qian Renxue chose to watch it herself, he did play a part in pushing her to continue watching, and he was almost reluctant to let her continue.

Actually, it's not a big deal if she becomes a god a little slower. For a moment, Han Li even had such a thought.

Although Han Li was still unsure of what would happen next, based on his "understanding" of the two, the following events might just result in Miss Angel suffering a double blow.

It was far too cruel for her.

Noticing the hesitation in his eyes, Qian Renxue bit her lower lip and turned her gaze back to the light screen.

She's not someone who just found out about this; she's already mentally prepared for the worst.

Then, Qian Renxue heard a female voice coming from outside the light screen.

"Teacher, you've finished your seclusion. Can I go in now?"

This is Hu Liena's voice, and you can hear obvious joy in it.

Inside the palace, Bibi Dong stopped circulating her Soul Power. After glancing at Yu Xiaogang, she hesitated for a moment before calling out to the outside of the palace, "Come in."

Bibi Dong, the man and woman inside and outside the palace were arguably the people she cared about most. Meeting them today was perhaps fate, and she even had a faint sense of anticipation.

Indeed, she was somewhat morbid, and longed to receive her apprentice's blessing, even though she knew very well that Hu Liena was unaware of her relationship with Yu Xiaogang.

"Okay, teacher."

Hu Liena happily stepped into the hall and saw Yu Xiaogang sitting to one side, with a smile still on his face.

Wait, isn't this Yu Xiaogang, the one we met before the Soul Master Competition? The son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, and the one who even argued with Liu Erlong. What's he doing here? Hu Liena was aware of his reputation as a good-for-nothing, and considering what happened before, she wasn't sure how to judge him.

However, this is not important to her.

Hu Liena respectfully bowed to Bibi Dong and called her "Teacher".

"Um."

Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena with affection, a clear smile appearing on her face.

She was quite satisfied with this disciple, whom she had poured her heart into and raised as if she were her own daughter.

Although she didn't succeed in following the path she had planned, it didn't matter; as long as she was happy.

Moreover, Han Li and the others will all die, and then everything will return to normal. She will save the best for her.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang also looked at Hu Liena.

He felt that the face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Fearing retaliation from Tang Hao, he didn't dare watch the Soul Master Competition. When Han Li visited him before, he was in a rage because of Liu Erlong and didn't pay much attention to others. So, he just felt like he had seen them somewhere before.

Of course, he knew about Hu Liena's record of beating Tang San, so he gave a somewhat stiff smile and nodded as a gesture of goodwill.

Hu Liena nodded in response; she couldn't be impolite in front of her teacher.

"Don't be so formal, this is my friend."

Bibi Dong smiled as she watched the two being polite to each other, but when she mentioned "friends," there was a Sisi awkwardness in her expression.

Huh? Hu Liena's eyes widened in surprise. She was different from Qian Renxue. She was practically raised by Bibi Dong. Apart from formal occasions, their relationship was more like that of a real mother and daughter.

When the two spent time together in private, Bibi Dong wouldn't always put on airs like Pope, so Hu Liena understood her teacher quite well.

Something was wrong with the teacher; she was shy. In all these years, she had never seen her teacher behave like this.

Him? Does he even deserve it? That was the first thought that flashed through Hu Liena's mind, and then she saw the teacher's doting gaze directed at her.

She swallowed all her doubts. No, let's wait and see. Maybe she was wrong.

"Yes, I understand, teacher."

Hu Liena answered obediently, but had already taken the opportunity to come to Bibi Dong's side.

Bibi Dong was in an even better mood. Sure enough, she hadn't spoiled this disciple for nothing. At least, Na Na didn't show him the same disdainful expression as the others.

She took the initiative to pull Hu Liena up, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she completely ignored Yu Xiaogang, who was still sitting to the side, and began to inquire about Hu Liena's life and cultivation after she went into seclusion.

"They seem to be having a really good time."

In the courtyard of Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue forced an extremely ugly smile and looked at Han Li beside her.

Han Li glanced at the silent and unmoved Qian Daoliu, and sighed inwardly, "Your granddaughter, aren't you going to do anything about it?" "So, shall we go shopping? Or drink?"

The light screen had been silently removed, and Han Li felt as if snow was falling on her head— Qian Renxue, quite fitting for the scene.

"I want them both."
