"Twin demigod-level Martial Souls." "The Radiant Sacred Dragon and the Dark Sacred Dragon!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo respectfully repeated himself.
He also described the two Martial Souls in detail.
"What?!"
Qian Renxue froze in astonishment, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
They were actually twin Martial Souls, and twin demigod-level Martial Souls at that.
His future achievements would surely know no bounds. No wonder her grandfather had arranged this marriage.
That tremendous disturbance above Spirit City a while ago had probably been caused by him!
While she was reeling in shock, Ghost Leopard Douluo suddenly remembered something and added:
"Young Mistress, there is one more matter this subordinate nearly forgot to report."
"That Ye Han possesses innate level 20 Soul Power, just like you!"
At those words, Qian Renxue was so shocked that she took a step back.
Someone else in this world actually possessed the same astonishing innate level 20 Soul Power as she did.
Moreover, his Martial Souls were not god-level, yet he had reached such heights. It was simply unheard of.
At that moment, a powerful impulse surged within Qian Renxue. She absolutely could not let that little fellow slip away!
However, since she still knew nothing about his character or other qualities, Qian Renxue immediately said:
"Elder Ghost Leopard, please return to Spirit Hall immediately and inform my grandfather!"
"Tell him I request a meeting with Ye Han at once. I want to get to know him personally!"
"The sooner it can be arranged, the better! I want to get to know him and assess exactly what he is like myself!"
Qian Renxue spoke rapidly, every word carrying unquestionable resolve.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ghost Leopard Douluo nodded respectfully.
His figure flashed, turning into a black shadow that vanished on the spot.
"Talent and strength alone aren't enough to become my man..."
Qian Renxue stood there, gazing at the stars outside the window, a jumble of feelings stirring in her heart.
On the one hand, she felt dissatisfied with and resistant to this sudden marriage arrangement.
On the other, she was filled with curiosity and anticipation toward the boy named Ye Han.
She wondered what his character was like. What about his personality? What would he look like?
He was still so young. Even if his character or other qualities fell short, surely raising him properly from childhood could correct them?
In any case, she no longer intended to pursue true love. Her life was destined to be devoted to Spirit Hall!
"Knock~ knock, knock~~"
Just then, however, a sudden knock came from outside, accompanied by a respectful voice:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, His Majesty has called an urgent meeting. Please proceed to the palace council chamber."
Qian Renxue paused briefly, then swiftly resumed her disguise as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and headed to her destination.
Before long, she stepped into the council chamber, where a heavy atmosphere greeted her.
Xue Ye and a group of senior ministers had been waiting for some time, worry written all over their faces.
What is going on?
Qian Renxue swept her gaze over the room, suppressed her confusion, and bowed.
"Your son pays his respects, Father. Is there an important matter to discuss?"
Xue Ye nodded slightly, then looked toward the senior ministers beside him.
The ministers took the hint. One of them immediately rose and spoke respectfully:
"Your Highness, you have arrived at just the right time. Here is what happened..."
The senior minister rattled on at length. The details were as follows:
They had just received a letter from someone claiming to be the young clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The letter stated that a boy had suddenly appeared in Spirit Hall.
The boy possessed terrifying talent and could instantly kill two level 30 Soul Masters with a single strike.
Furthermore, a Spirit Hall elder whose strength rivaled that of Poison Douluo accompanied the boy on his travels.
They therefore deduced and suspected that the tremendous disturbance above Spirit City a while ago had been caused by that boy.
The fact that an elder protected him personally indicated that he was already being specially nurtured, and he was very likely Spirit Hall's future Holy Son.
If such a terrifying individual was not strangled in his cradle in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The meeting had been called precisely to discuss this matter!
As the senior minister finished speaking, troubled expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
They were all worried that such a genius had emerged in Spirit Hall.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately realized that they were talking about Ye Han. Instantly killing two level 30 Soul Masters with a single strike truly made her see him in a new light.
It seemed this little fellow named Ye Han was even more terrifying than she had imagined!
Xue Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Qian Renxue, questioning her to sound her out and test her:
"Qinghe, I believe the contents of this letter are true. What do you think?"
"If they are indeed true, do you think we should send someone to assassinate and eliminate this boy who may become Spirit Hall's Holy Son?"
"Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, has long shown an interest in drawing closer to our Heaven Dou Empire's imperial family. What do you think of entrusting this matter to him?!"
Upon hearing Xue Ye's sinister scheme, Qian Renxue swiftly thought through her response.
"Father, regarding this matter, your son believes there is absolutely no need to concern ourselves with it for now."
Qian Renxue spoke slowly, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, her tone carrying unquestionable authority:
"Though his talent defies the heavens, he is still young. For at least the next ten years, he will be unable to pose a substantial threat to the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Our foremost task at present is to strengthen our Heaven Dou Empire, not waste our efforts on a child."
Xue Ye's brows furrowed further. Clearly dissatisfied with her answer, he asked challengingly:
"Then, in your opinion, what should we do?!"
Qian Renxue smiled faintly, the light of wisdom flashing in her eyes:
"First, intensify our recruitment of Soul Masters and attract more powerful individuals to join the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"Second, strengthen our ties with the major families and sects to form a community of shared interests!"
"Third, invite the secluded Clear Sky Sect to emerge and resist Spirit Hall's threat together!"
"Fourth, improve our relationship with the Star Luo Empire and seek diplomatic support!"
Her words drew nods from everyone present, while Xue Ye smiled in satisfaction.
"Good, good, good! With a son like you, why should I worry about being unable to unite the realm in the future? Hahahahaha!"
Qian Renxue smiled faintly and said no more.
Those four points would indeed benefit the Heaven Dou Empire and harm Spirit Hall.
But she had no choice. To dispel their intention to target Ye Han, she had to say those things to divert their attention.
Besides, she was happy to put some pressure on Spirit Hall and cause it trouble. After all, its Supreme Pontiff was Bibi Dong!
As the meeting dispersed,
Qian Renxue began looking forward to her upcoming meeting with Ye Han, her future live-in husband.
At the same time, she began thinking about the young clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who had sent the letter.
He actually dreamed of laying a hand on her future live-in husband? Then he had better be prepared to pay the price...
Before they knew it, the next day had arrived.
Ye Han and his group swiftly returned to Spirit City from Sunset Forest.
As soon as they arrived in Spirit City, they went to the Worship Hall to report to the Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu.
The two of them had been away for nearly two days, so questioning from Qian Daoliu was naturally unavoidable.
To keep Qian Daoliu from discovering anything amiss, even the ever-loyal Ling Yuan began telling lies.
She claimed that they had encountered Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, in trouble along the way and had kindly stepped in to save her.
She had then personally escorted her back to Dugu Bo, who had given her an immortal herb to express his thanks.
After she consumed the immortal herb, her Martial Soul had improved to its current state, and she had even shot up two levels.
Dugu Yan regarded her as her lifesaver and wanted to join Spirit Hall, so she had brought her back.
Along the way, she had also encountered a girl named Xiao Wu. Taking a liking to her aptitude, she had accepted her as a disciple.
This web of lies was simple yet skillfully woven.
After hearing it, Qian Daoliu could find no flaws. More than anything, he was astonished by Ling Yuan's Martial Soul evolution.
Just like that, Ye Han and Ling Yuan successfully bluffed their way through.
"Mm, right!"
Just as the two were about to leave, Qian Daoliu suddenly stopped them and said with a smile:
"Xiao Han, make your preparations tonight. Tomorrow, come with me to Heaven Dou City!"
"I'll take you to meet my granddaughter, Qian Renxue-your future fiancée. She was the one who wanted to meet you ahead of time!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo had already brought him word of yesterday's conversation, so he was naturally making the arrangements now.
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Ye Han froze on the spot. He had never imagined that Qian Renxue would do something like this and actually take the initiative to meet him...
