Miss Qian Renxue, You Wouldn't Want Anyone Finding Out You're Impersonating Xue Qinghe, Would You?

Tang San was hurt by Xiao Wu's attitude, but he had absolutely no idea what had happened.

He had considered that it might have something to do with Link.

But Link wasn't at the academy now, and no one knew where he had gone.

Still, in Tang San's mind, Link had already given himself a reason to die. Once Link appeared, Tang San would have his ways of dealing with him for good.

After crying for a while, Xiao Wu suddenly wiped away her tears and stood up.

"Xiao Wu!"

Seeing this, Tang San hurriedly called out.

Xiao Wu glanced at him, sniffled, and said, "Little San, I'm sorry. I was in a bad mood. I shouldn't have taken it out on you!"

Although she had briefly blamed Tang San for keeping her from cultivating properly, that resentment hadn't lasted long. Xiao Wu was clearheaded enough now to know that she herself had neglected her cultivation. She couldn't blame anyone else.

Besides, although Tang San had taken her Gold Soul Coins over the past few years, he had still taken good care of her in other ways.

It was just that Link's words had brought home to Xiao Wu how much she had relied on Tang San.

"It's fine. I don't blame you!"

Hearing Xiao Wu apologize, Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. He had genuinely been afraid that she would stop talking to him altogether.

"Little San, I think I wasted too much time before. From now on, I'm going to cultivate properly!"

"I won't be going to the Blacksmith Shop with you anymore!"

"No problem. Cultivation comes first!"

Tang San didn't think there was anything wrong with that. He had advised Xiao Wu before that she didn't need to keep accompanying him.

Xiao Wu said nothing more and went to have breakfast.

The Soul Ring Advancement Gift Pack she had received earlier as a reward from the Chat Group System had turned both her first soul ring and her second soul ring into purple Thousand-Year Soul Rings, bringing her a huge increase in soul power.

Now, she wasn't far from becoming a level-thirty Soul Elder.

Her soul power level had already surpassed Tang San's by several levels.

Xiao Wu believed that as long as she kept signing in and cultivated diligently, she would grow stronger and stronger. The stronger she became, the greater her hope of taking revenge, and the greater the possibility of bringing her mother back to life.

Link knew nothing of the change in Xiao Wu's mindset. At that moment, he was staring in surprise at a carriage traveling slowly up ahead.

Just now, the Chat Group System had notified him that a potential member had appeared ahead.

The problem was that the person was sitting inside the carriage, so Link had no way of seeing them.

Although the Great Dream Heart Sutra allowed him to meet potential members in dreams, he still had to see them once before he could bring them into the group.

Link was truly speechless at this rule of the Chat Group.

But there was nothing he could do. Those were the rules.

Who could it be?

Link couldn't work out who might be inside that carriage.

This was Fasinuo Province!

In the storyline Link knew, Fasinuo Province was essentially Tang San and Xiao Wu's beginner village. Hardly any of the characters in the story would appear here.

It was an ordinary carriage, without any family insignia.

Yet Link could sense that its driver was an extraordinary expert.

Having obtained complete mastery of the Great Dream Heart Sutra through signing in, Link possessed exceptionally strong mental perception. He could sense the strength of the spiritual power of those around him.

The people in the caravan, including the Three-Ring Soul Elder serving as a guard, all had pathetically weak spiritual power. Yet the spiritual power of the driver ahead shone like a beacon in the night.

Without a meaningful understanding of how strong Soul Masters were at each rank, Link had no way to judge the driver's strength. He knew only that the man was powerful.

As for the situation inside the carriage?

Within Link's mental perception, there was only one person inside, whose spiritual power was likewise powerful.

Link didn't know whether the person would get out at the rest stop ahead, but he decided to keep watch. As long as he caught a glimpse of them, he could meet them in a dream.

Then, he would only need to fabricate a suitable dream and bring them into the Chat Group.

"Three Pure Ones above, please grant me your blessings!"

Link prayed quite a few times along the way.

Whoever was in that carriage, their powerful spiritual power alone meant they certainly weren't weak. As long as he brought them into the Chat Group and received its reward, Link would be fully confident of obtaining an impressive first soul ring.

According to the research of his predecessors, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could follow the path of life.

That was Link's plan as well.

He had the cultivation method for the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill. As long as his body was strong enough, that technique alone would let him stand undefeated.

What was more, there were still the Chat Group's future sign-in rewards.

Compared with the soul skills his martial soul could provide, Link had more faith in his cheat.

Living a life with cheats, yet still pinning his hopes of growing stronger on his martial soul, would be nothing but a joke.

From now on, his martial soul would only play a supporting role.

Perhaps he could try breaking ten thousand arts with a single force and attaining the Dao through strength!

Time slowly passed. When the sun hung high overhead, both the caravan and the carriage ahead stopped at a roadside rest stop.

Rather than going to the restaurant with the caravan's people, Link sat in his carriage, quietly keeping an eye on the other carriage.

At last...

The person inside stepped out.

A young man!

A man?!

Link froze for a moment. Wasn't the Chat Group supposed to accept only beautiful women?

Wait!

Link suddenly thought of someone.

Qian Renxue!

The daughter of Spirit Hall's former Pope and the Angel God's sole successor was currently posing as Xue Qinghe, the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, on a mission to steal the empire.

So this was Qian Renxue!

Link's eyes immediately lit up.

Well, well! Heaven really did love him after all!

He had originally planned to go to Heaven Dou City to see whether he could encounter Qian Renxue, the counterfeit Xue Qinghe. He hadn't expected to run into her before he had even left Fasinuo Province.

What was Qian Renxue doing here?

Forget it. Who cared what she was here for!

Link didn't concern himself with why Qian Renxue had appeared in Fasinuo Province. It was probably just to strengthen control over the province. After all, the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family had never exercised much control over its own territory, so that was most likely the reason for her trip.

But that had nothing to do with Link.

All he needed to do was wait for Qian Renxue to fall asleep and meet her in a dream.

How could he bring Qian Renxue into the group?

"Miss Qian Renxue, you wouldn't want anyone finding out you're impersonating Xue Qinghe, would you?"

Link felt that he was becoming more and more like a villain.

And there was even a hint of those Japanese "living the good life" about it!

This wasn't right!

He was an outstanding young man, born beneath the red flag and raised in the spring breeze.

Link felt that he would have to give some serious thought to how he recruited people in the future. He couldn't act like one of those Japanese every time.

After all, there weren't any of those Japanese here. Even if he wanted to pass the buck, they wouldn't be here to catch it!

Watching Qian Renxue enter the restaurant, Link finally climbed out of his carriage at an unhurried pace and headed inside as well.

He still had to eat!

He was still growing, after all!

But just after Link entered the restaurant, as he was about to sit down, a group suddenly appeared on the second floor. They were all Soul Masters, the weakest among them a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor. Martial souls blazed on their bodies, and all kinds of soul skills came crashing toward Qian Renxue's position at once.
