Qian Daoliu did not ask Lin Yue for a spirit beast, but instead directly instructed Lin Yue to assist Qian Renxue.

This way, when Qian Renxue broke through, she would be able to obtain a spirit ring immediately.

He believed that once Lin Yue knew Qian Renxue's identity, he would not refuse, and would even proactively offer spirit beasts to Qian Renxue.

Of course, his arrangement was indeed to have Lin Yue go and assist Qian Renxue.

No matter what, Lin Yue was a Titled Douluo.

Even if he couldn't use spirit skills, the combat power he displayed was much stronger than that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.

Many times, Lin Yue didn't even need to make a move; just revealing his spirit rings was enough to intimidate others.

There was another benefit to Qian Daoliu sending Lin Yue over.

That was, up to this point, no one knew Lin Yue's identity, nor did they know he was from the Martial Soul Hall.

The Martial Soul Hall had only publicly announced the promotion of a Titled Douluo titled 'Soul Collector,' and nothing else about Lin Yue had been disclosed.

Oh... Dugu Bo knew Lin Yue.

However, Qian Daoliu did not know this at the moment.

Therefore, he thought that having Lin Yue cooperate with Qian Renxue was an excellent arrangement.

It would allow Lin Yue to be by Qian Renxue's side openly.

"Granddaughter? The Great Enshrined actually has a granddaughter?"

Lin Yue showed appropriate surprise upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words.

"Yes, she is the daughter of the previous Pope, Qian Xunji. She has been lurking in the Heaven Dou Empire since she was nine years old..."

Qian Daoliu immediately explained Qian Renxue's situation to Lin Yue.

He then also explained the reason for arranging for Lin Yue to assist Qian Renxue.

"Great Enshrined, I remember the nurturing grace of the Martial Soul Hall. If Qian Renxue needs spirit beasts, I can provide them, but I will not waste time on such meaningless things."

At this moment, Lin Yue already understood Qian Daoliu's intentions. He could understand, but he didn't have time to play this childish game with Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue's undercover mission was simply idiotic.

Sending a genius like Qian Renxue to be an undercover agent was a bizarre move.

What was Emperor Xue Ye's cultivation level?

With that disguise ability that others couldn't see through, why didn't she just kill Emperor Xue Ye and impersonate the Emperor instead of going to the trouble of disguising herself as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?

Wouldn't that be a one-step solution?

By impersonating Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, she not only had to painstakingly maintain the persona of the Crown Prince and build connections, but in the end, she still had to obediently wait for Emperor Xue Ye to die.

It was truly a bizarre move!

Perhaps these natives' brains just couldn't think of this.

But it didn't matter, now that Lin Yue was here, he would help Qian Renxue with the operation.

"What did you say?"

"You think what Little Xue is doing is meaningless?"

"Do you know what it means for the Martial Soul Hall if Little Xue successfully usurps the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Qian Daoliu did not expect Lin Yue to refuse, and even say that Qian Renxue's actions were meaningless. He was immediately somewhat angered.

"It means the Martial Soul Hall will soon be able to unify the continent!"

Lin Yue said calmly.

"You know, then why do you still say it's meaningless?"

The anger on Qian Daoliu's face stopped abruptly, and was immediately replaced by confusion. He had thought Lin Yue didn't understand the significance of it!

"What I mean by meaningless is that what Qian Renxue is doing is meaningless, and the efficiency is too low!"

"Since she can disguise herself as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, then disguising herself as Emperor Xue Ye should be no problem, right?"

"Then why didn't she just kill Emperor Xue Ye and impersonate the Emperor?"

"Are there any other strong individuals in the Heaven Dou Empire who can stop the sanctions of our Martial Soul Hall's powerhouses?"

Lin Yue stated his thoughts.

"This..."

Qian Daoliu was stunned on the spot after hearing Lin Yue's words.

He was truly bewildered!

Lin Yue's words had completely stumped him.

Because he realized that what Lin Yue said made a lot of sense.

Then what was the point of Qian Renxue's years of lurking?

It was a complete waste of the most crucial golden cultivation period for a spirit master.

"The Grand Elder's granddaughter must also possess the Six-Winged Angel martial soul and Innate Full Soul Power of level 20, right?"

"So, what is her current Soul Power Level?"

Lin Yue was truly poking at a sore spot, immediately asking about Qian Renxue's current cultivation.

Qian Daoliu's face flushed a mix of green and red.

"Ahem..."

He coughed twice, not answering Lin Yue's question, but instead looking at him with excitement:

"The method you mentioned is indeed feasible, and it is countless times more efficient than what Xiaoxue is currently executing."

"This old man must thank you. If you hadn't brought it up, Xiaoxue might have continued to waste time, and in the end, she might not even have been able to inherit the throne!"

Qian Daoliu admitted to Lin Yue's idea quite readily, which could be considered a roundabout admission that the previous plan was indeed too foolish.

The way Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Yue had also changed.

Such a talent, possessing both great wisdom and soul beast resources, must be courted properly.

From Lin Yue's attitude just now, Qian Daoliu sensed that although Lin Yue was grateful for the cultivation Martial Soul Hall had provided him, his sense of belonging to Martial Soul Hall was not strong.

This would not do; such a talent must absolutely not be allowed to slip away.

Previously, he hadn't thought deeply about Lin Yue's abilities, but now he was certain that the soul beasts in Lin Yue's space were still there.

He thought of one more thing.

That was, those soul beasts could survive within Lin Yue's space.

In other words, the soul beasts Lin Yue had taken in could also breed inside.

The higher the level of the soul beast, the greater the chance that their offspring would awaken soul power; for some high-quality martial souls, the offspring were almost born as soul beasts possessing soul power.

Those capable of being taken into Lin Yue's space must certainly be soul beasts with relatively excellent bloodlines.

This meant that Lin Yue's space could continuously cultivate new soul beasts.

For the Douluo Continent of today, where soul beasts were nearly extinct, this was far too rare and important.

"Elder Lin Yue, you have truly made this old man look at you with new eyes today. Not only have you reached the realm of Titled Douluo at such a young age, but you also possess a great wisdom that ordinary people cannot reach."

"This old man admires you greatly!"

"For so many years, I have watched you cultivate all alone, but that won't do. Someone with a bloodline as excellent as yours must have a legacy!"

"This old man intends to betroth my granddaughter to you. What do you think?"

After realizing Lin Yue's importance, Qian Daoliu patted Lin Yue on the shoulder and spoke.

As long as he had Lin Yue's assistance, it would be much easier for Qian Renxue to take charge of Martial Soul Hall in the future.

"What?"

"Grand Elder, you aren't joking, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue was instantly shocked.

He was truly startled this time.

Qian Daoliu actually wanted to betroth Qian Renxue to him?

Wasn't Qian Daoliu planning for Qian Renxue to inherit the position of the Angel God?

Oh... right, once she becomes a god, she should be even more inclined to pass down her bloodline.

It seems there's nothing wrong with that.
