The Confidential Report mentioned that Huang Yun was close to Dugu Yan and was her lover.
Qian Daoliu tapped his fingers lightly against the armrest twice.
Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's granddaughter.
Dugu Bo had previously refused to join Spirit Hall. Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Empire had saved him while he was being hunted, and he had eventually become an honored protector of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Well, well. That made them natural enemies.
It all depended on whether his granddaughter could win him over to their side.
If the plan succeeded, they would gain not only a monstrous prodigy, but another Titled Douluo as well.
Qian Daoliu fell silent for a moment, then rose and walked to the door of the secret chamber.
A Spirit Hall steward standing guard outside bowed to him.
"Go to Heaven Dou City." Qian Daoliu's voice was calm and steady. "Deliver a copy of this Confidential Report to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe as quickly as possible. It must not pass through anyone else's hands. You must personally place it on his desk."
"Yes." The steward accepted the order and hurried away.
Qian Daoliu sat back down in the secret chamber, his gaze resting on the Confidential Report on the table for a long time.
Heaven Dou City, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Night had already fallen. Only a single Soul Guidance Lamp burned in the study, its light dim and still.
Qian Renxue sat behind her desk, a newly delivered Confidential Report spread out before her.
The messenger had been a steward from the Elder Hall. He had personally placed the envelope on her desk before withdrawing, without letting it pass through anyone else's hands.
She opened the envelope, took out the copy inside, and read it word by word.
