Timely Intelligence

In the carriage, the two sat facing each other in silence.

After returning to the Crown Prince's Residence, Qian Renxue stepped out of the carriage and headed straight back to her courtyard.

Watching Qian Renxue's retreating figure, Su Yu silently sighed.

Qian Renxue returned to her bedroom, opened the hidden passage, and entered the secret chamber.

Standing before the full-length mirror in the secret chamber, Qian Renxue dispelled the disguise effect of the Angel Skull Bone.

A flash of golden light passed by, and Qian Renxue instantly returned to her original form.

Her skin was fair as snow, her figure shapely, and her features flawless.

The indescribable sorrow did not diminish her beauty. Instead, it gave her an air of fragile vulnerability.

Looking at her sacred-looking reflection and recalling Su Yu's words,

Qian Renxue could not help but wonder, Was it because I inherited the Six-Winged Angel and failed to inherit her Martial Soul? Was that why she hated me, even despised me?

But what kind of reason was that?!

Qian Renxue stood before the full-length mirror, radiating an air of desolation like a statue, silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the familiar System Screen appeared on its own, and the words upon it began to twist continuously.

[Today's Intelligence Update:]

[Red Intelligence · Past: Several years ago, Bibi Dong began the Rakshasa Nine Trials. Rakshasa was the God of Evil Thoughts. Anyone who began the God Trial would inevitably be corrupted by Rakshasa Divinity, causing their temperament to become warped.]

[Yellow Intelligence · Future: Three days later, Ning Rongrong, who had confidently declared that she would definitely break through within a month, began a lifestyle of fishing for three days and drying nets for two.]

Rakshasa Nine Trials?

God of Evil Thoughts?

A warped temperament?!

At that moment, Qian Renxue fell completely stunned.

She stared fixedly at the System Screen before her, her lips trembling as a storm raged in her heart.

Worry, confusion, relief...

All kinds of complicated emotions flooded her heart, dragging Qian Renxue into a whirlpool of contradiction.

She had never imagined that her mother had actually received a god's inheritance and begun a God Trial.

What she had never expected was that the god her mother had inherited was one who controlled evil thoughts.

What she also could not understand was why her grandfather, the grand worshipper of the Angel God, had remained indifferent to this and even concealed it from her!

At the same time, Qian Renxue felt incomparably fortunate.

The reason Mother hated me wasn't because she didn't love me.

She was just... just sick!

She had merely been warped by that Evil God, which was why she hated her own flesh and blood!

I wasn't wrong, and Mother wasn't wrong. It was all that damned Evil God—Rakshasa's—fault!

At this moment, Qian Renxue was like a drowning person clutching at her final lifeline.

She instantly found a reasonable explanation for Bibi Dong's attitude toward her!

What mother wouldn't love her own child?

Mother only loathed me because of that damned Evil God!

Since It controlled evil thoughts, It had to be the enemy of our ancestors.

That was why It took revenge on the descendants of the Qian Clan. To retaliate against me, It chose Mother and twisted her temperament!

Regardless of what the truth actually was, Qian Renxue had already taken it as fact and believed it without the slightest doubt.

Having found the perfect logic, Qian Renxue hurried to the desk and prepared to write her grandfather a letter, asking him to act, purge her mother of the Evil God's influence, and bring her back onto the right path.

But the moment she spread out the paper, before she could write a word, she rejected the idea from the bottom of her heart.

Grandfather had concealed the truth from me because he was afraid I would worry.

But if Grandfather truly had a way, he definitely wouldn't stand by and do nothing!

Qian Renxue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself before beginning to consider the truth of the matter.

Although Grandfather was the grand worshipper and could even mobilize some of the divine power left behind by their ancestors, he was not a god in the end.

So Grandfather was not standing by idly or remaining indifferent. He truly had no way to help!

After all, an Evil God was still a god!

Qian Renxue's eyes ignited with blazing flames, and soaring fighting spirit rose within her.

Since a rank ninety-nine Peerless Douluo who could wield divine power could not do it, then she would become a god!

Ever since she was young, Qian Daoliu had regarded Qian Renxue as the hope of restoring the Angel's glory.

Thus, Qian Renxue herself was also full of confidence, believing that she could begin the unprecedented Angel Nine Trials.

Qian Renxue lowered her gaze and saw the second piece of intelligence.

She inwardly sneered at that little princess with a three-minute passion. She had confidently declared just tonight that she would cultivate seriously, yet she could only endure for a mere three days.

Qian Renxue half-closed her eyes and secretly made up her mind.

She would put this so-called Nation-Stealing Plan on hold for now. She needed to cultivate seriously.

She would strive to make up for the time she had wasted before as soon as possible!

Honestly, if she had not considered Su Yu's existence and the fact that her current identity was suitable for helping Su Yu approach Aornia,

Qian Renxue would have wanted to abandon this plan and return to Spirit Hall to cultivate in seclusion!

Qian Renxue exhaled softly and calmed her impulsive heart once more.

After calming down, she realized that even if she broke through rank one hundred and ascended to Godhood, she might not necessarily be able to defeat that Evil God and free her mother from Its control.

After all, as a god who had only just broken through, Qian Renxue had no confidence in facing an established god who had broken through who knew how long ago.

The next moment, Su Yu's figure appeared in Qian Renxue's mind.

An Innate God-Level Martial Soul, with the hope of creating a new Godhood through his own Martial Soul...

At the same time, Aornia's name surfaced as well, allowing Qian Renxue to see a new hope.

She could not help but think that Su Yu seemed to know a great deal about Aornia's Martial Soul.

If Aornia could also break through rank one hundred...

Then there would be three gods on her side!

Even without Aornia, if she had a god by her side who could carry out Rule Creation to assist her...

Even if that Rakshasa had been famous for a long time, she could still chop her into minced meat!

Thinking of Su Yu's current Soul Power Level, Qian Renxue immediately decided that from this day onward, not only would she cultivate diligently herself, but she would also urge Su Yu and Aornia to work twice as hard so they could catch up with her sooner.

Afterward, Qian Renxue immediately activated the Angel Skull Bone and transformed into Xue Qinghe once again.

Late at night, she went straight to Su Yu's room and dragged him out of bed.

Su Yu rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned. "What is it?"

"How can you still sleep at your age?"

"???"

"From today onward, use meditation in place of sleep every night!"

"!!!"

Su Yu instantly lost all sleepiness, and a hint of terror appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Xue, seriously? There's no need to push so hard, is there?"

Qian Renxue frowned. After thinking for a moment, she understood what Su Yu meant.

"If you don't work hard now, it'll be too late for regrets when you're old!"

Su Yu knitted his brows, unable to understand what had provoked Qian Renxue and why she had suddenly become so urgent.

Seeing Su Yu's tightly furrowed brow, Qian Renxue felt that she still could not push him too hard, so she softened her tone slightly. "Forget it. Make it five days of meditation and two days of normal rest instead."

Seeing how resolute Qian Renxue was, Su Yu muttered, "Fine. At least I still get two days off..."
