Qian Renxue's Wisdom

Wu Yuan traveled a great distance to Heaven Dou City, searching for the Young Master in front of Fu Shiyan's door; all clues pointed to the same person.

However, the subsequent investigation revealed that the child was only eight years old, and his name and place of origin were clearly recorded.

Eight years old! Fu Shiyan is clearly older than that.

Qian Renxue thought about it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion that she believed to be impeccable:

Fu Shiyan.

He needed a target, a "Tianxing King" who could attract everyone's attention, so that he could remain hidden in the shadows.

And Dai Tianyu was the pawn he pushed out.

She even secretly admired it.

Fu Shiyan, this move was indeed brilliant.

Unfortunately, I had already seen through everything!

After that, she never paid any attention to the child again.

After all, in her view, an eight-year-old puppet was not worth wasting energy on.

But today's report shattered her unwavering belief over the past two years.

A puppet at level 47 and age 10?

A puppet who completely crushed Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun?

Qian Renxue's chest rose and fell slightly.

She closed her eyes, then opened them again, her voice steady, yet tinged with a barely perceptible ache:

"So, from the very beginning..."

She paused for a moment before continuing:

"Fu Shiyan is not the Tianxing King. That child is."

After she finished speaking, she herself felt it was absurd.

But the facts speak for themselves.

She misunderstood for two years.

He thought he had seen through everything, but in reality, he was on the wrong side from the very beginning.

Silence fell again in the hall.

After a long while, Qian Renxue slowly leaned back in her chair, the gloom on her face gradually fading, replaced by a more complex expression.

There was anger, resentment, and a hint of embarrassment at being silently mocked.

But then she realized something was wrong!

Regardless, the guard commander Wu Yuan appeared outside the courtyard where Fu Shiyan lived in Heaven Dou City, and his words indicated that he was looking for his Young Master, which proves that his Young Master must be in that small courtyard!

In other words, Dai Tianyu must have some unknown connection with Fu Shiyan.

Qian Renxue's gaze darkened.

If that's the case, then Fu Shiyan's true identity must be even more mysterious!

But the game he played wasn't about concealing his identity.

He is... laying the groundwork for the Star Luo Empire!

Just as the Spirit Hall arranged for her to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Kingdom and seize power, Fu Shiyan, or rather the force behind her, also set her sights on the Star Luo Empire.

Two years ago, the orphaned son of the Tianxing King, whose talent far surpassed that of the Crown Prince, was "found" and sent back to the Star Luo Empire Star Luo Academy, where he publicly defeated Dai Weisi in the grand competition.

This is no coincidence.

This is an attempt to establish authority, a declaration.

This is paving the way for Dai Tianyu to officially enter the struggle for the crown prince position.

Having figured all this out, a faint smile slowly appeared on Qian Renxue's lips.

The subordinate knelt on the ground, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his master's changing expression, thinking he was seeing things.

When I looked again, the face had returned to its usual indifferent and aloof expression, as if the smile just now was merely an illusion.

"Interesting."

Qian Renxue gently folded the secret report and tucked it into her sleeve.

She lowered her gaze to her kneeling subordinates and said in a calm and unhurried voice:

"Prepare the car."

The subordinate kowtowed. "Yes."

As the footsteps of his men faded into the distance, silence returned to the hall.

Qian Renxue leaned against the low table, her fingertips tracing the edge of the secret report on her sleeve, gazing at the darkening sky outside the window.

Fu Shiyan, just how big a game are you playing?

And where should she place her piece in this game of chess?

Heaven Dou City, a small courtyard.

The first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the courtyard wall and fell on the bluestone ground, casting long, thin shadows of the locust tree leaves.

Today is a rare day off, but everyone in the courtyard is already used to getting up at 5 a. m., their biological clocks are more punctual than any alarm clock.

At the entrance to the main house, Xiao Wu stood on tiptoe and peered inside, her pink ponytail swaying back and forth over her shoulder.

"Third Brother! You're really not going?"

Ma Hongjun had already changed into his outdoor clothes, his chubby face full of excitement, and urged:

"Xiao Wu, if Third Brother isn't going, the three of us will! There's a new dessert shop in Heaven Dou City; if we go too late, there'll be a long queue!"

Oscar leaned against the doorframe, stroking the stubble on his chin, his almond-shaped eyes filled with a smile:

"Third Brother, you're really not going? I heard that the shop's signature desserts are limited in quantity each day."

Tang San stood under the corridor, and upon hearing this, smiled and shook his head:

"You may go, I have some matters to attend to today."

Xiao Wu pursed her lips, but didn't try to persuade her further.

She has always trusted Tang San, so if he says he won't go, there must be a reason.

"Then we'll bring you some delicious food!"

She abruptly uttered those words and then beckoned Ma Hongjun and Oscar to leave the hospital.

The sounds of the three people laughing and joking gradually faded into the distance and disappeared at the alley entrance.

The courtyard fell silent.

Tang San stood there for a moment, then turned and walked towards the main courtyard.

He stopped in front of Fu Shiyan's door, took a deep breath, and gently knocked three times.

"Enter."

Fu Shiyan's calm voice came from inside the door.

Tang San pushed open the door and entered.

Fu Shiyan sat cross-legged on the couch, the morning light filtering through the window and casting slanted shadows on his dark robe.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was steady and long, clearly indicating that he was regulating his breathing.

Tang San did not make a sound to disturb them, but simply stood quietly by the door, hands at his sides.

A moment later, Fu Shiyan slowly opened her eyes, her silver-gray pupils looking at him:

"Xiao San, why didn't you go out for a walk with Xiao Wu and the others?"

His voice was calm, yet carried a hint of gentleness.

Tang San lowered his head slightly and replied:

"I had some questions for you, Master, so I didn't come along."

Fu Shiyan nodded, then asked:

"What is it?"

Tang San remained silent for a few moments, seemingly considering his words.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Fu Shiyan, and slowly said:

"Master, in a few days... I wish to return to Holy Soul Village."

Fu Shiyan looked at his expression, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. He didn't respond immediately, but simply watched his disciple quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Tang San lowered his eyes, his voice softening:

"When the Blue Silver Emperor awakened, I sensed a blood-related aura in the direction of Holy Soul Village."

He paused:

"I suspect that Mother... should be there."

"Therefore, I wish to go and take a look."

After saying that, he fell silent.

The room fell silent for a few moments.

Fu Shiyan nodded, her voice still calm, yet carrying a reassuring certainty:

"Yes, we really should go take a look."

He paused:

"I will accompany you back tomorrow."

Tang San abruptly raised his head, a clear look of surprise flashing in his eyes, quickly replaced by deeper emotion. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he nodded emphatically.

"Yes!"

Fu Shiyan looked at him like this, a very faint smile flashing in her eyes. He waved his hand:

"Alright, we can talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow. We have a rare day off today, let's go hang out with Xiao Wu and the others."

"That kid just said he'd bring you something delicious. If you hadn't shown up, he probably would have brought back all the desserts on the street for you."

Upon hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but smile.

He was about to answer—

Suddenly, there was a series of urgent knocks at the gate.

"Bang bang bang."
