Listening to Qi Ling's analysis, Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise, "That's right, Qi Ling, just as you said, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did indeed reject the suggestion outright. I didn't know why at first, but after your analysis, I understand the reason."
"That Old Poison, since Prince Xue Xing approves of this suggestion, what about Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?" Qi Ling asked.
"Crown Prince Xue Qinghe is in favor of sending troops, a view that coincides with Xue Ye's! So although discussions are still ongoing, a decision should be reached today, and the Heaven Dou Empire will send troops tomorrow to intercept the Spirit Hall's Soul Master team on their way."
Upon hearing this news, Qi Ling was even more surprised. Xue Qinghe actually agreed to send troops to intercept the Spirit Hall? What was going on?
Qi Ling had a vague feeling that Xue Qinghe was a very shrewd and calculating person with grand ambitions, and various clues suggested that he and Qian Xunji might be cooperating in some way.
But now, he's actually advocating sending troops to intercept the Spirit Hall. What's going on? Could it be that his intuition is wrong?
"Alright, I won't say any more, Qi Ling. I know you are also a lord with a fiefdom and have a deep connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I still have to give you some advice!" Dugu Bo said earnestly to Qi Ling, "If you want to wade into these muddy waters, you must be extremely cautious, otherwise, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin!"
"Understood, Old Poison, thank you for your concern, I have my own plans," Qi Ling said. "You should hurry up and find Xue Beng. Could this guy be hiding because he's afraid of dying?"
Dugu Bo said, "Very likely! Then I'll be going now. Once you make a decision, be sure to tell me first, and I will do my best to help you!"
After saying goodbye to Dugu Bo, Qi Ling had a better grasp of the current situation and had made preliminary plans for what to do next, but her anxiety only intensified.
Qi Ling knew that the root of all this was Bibi Dong. As long as she couldn't confirm Bibi Dong's safety, Qi Ling's heart could not find peace.
"Big brother, are you alright?" Tang San asked, noticing Qi Ling's expression.
Xiao Wu, who was standing nearby, also asked, " Brother Qi, are you alright?"
"It's alright, don't worry, I won't lose my composure," Qi Ling said. "However, the situation is much more critical than I imagined! We have to move many plans forward."
After the three hurriedly returned to the Shrek Academy, everyone was overjoyed by their return. The return of Xiao Wu, whom they hadn't seen for many years, also brought joy to everyone.
Meanwhile, Qi Ling also met an unexpected person here, Qian Renxue, who had arrived here several days earlier!
" A Xue, what are you doing here?" Qi Ling asked in surprise when she saw Qian Renxue.
Oscar, who had been eager to introduce Qi Ling, suddenly froze and asked, "Hey, Boss Qi, have you two known each other before?"
"Yes, we know each other. We've had quite a bit of a relationship," Qi Ling said. "She is Qian Renxue, the captain of the Holy Temple Knight Order of the Spirit Hall."
Everyone was shocked to hear this, because they only now knew Qian Renxue's true identity.
But Qian Renxue shook her head and said to Qi Ling, "No, Qi Ling, I am no longer the captain of the Holy Temple Knight Order."
"What happened? What's going on, A Xue?" Qi Ling asked in surprise, her ominous premonition growing stronger.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere more suitable," Qian Renxue said. "There are some things I can only tell you."
"Okay, Xiao San, you go and tell Grandmaster and the others about the current situation. A Xue and I will be right back." Qi Ling said, and she and Qian Renxue headed towards their room, leaving Oscar standing there dumbfounded.
"It's too tragic, Boss Dai, I can't bear to watch!" Ma Hongjun said, covering his eyes.
Dai Mubai sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do. Xiao Ao is just unlucky. Hopefully, the next girl he meets won't have any entanglements with Qi Ling."
"Alright, A Xue, tell me, why do you say you're no longer the leader of the Holy Temple Knight Order?" Qi Ling asked Qian Renxue after they arrived at her room.
" Qi Ling, you should know the former Pope Qian Xunji, right?" Qian Renxue said, "He's the man who's currently declaring war on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the acting Pope of the Spirit Hall."
Qi Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I know. Is what you're talking about related to him?"
"Yes." Qian Renxue nodded, took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and said, "He is my father!"
After Qian Renxue finished speaking, the two fell silent for a moment. Qi Ling waited for Qian Renxue to continue, while Qian Renxue waited for Qi Ling's reaction.
"Um... gone?" Qi Ling asked doubtfully, "Qian Xunji is your father, and then what?"
"Huh? Qi Ling, aren't you surprised?" Qian Renxue exclaimed in surprise, "This is clearly a top secret even within the Spirit Hall!"
Qi Ling gave a helpless, bitter smile. What secret? Isn't this a secret everyone knows? The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is passed down through bloodlines. Besides Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu, who else in the Spirit Hall possesses this Martial Soul? Your father couldn't possibly be Qian Daoliu, could he? Does he even have that ability?
"Yes, Qi Ling, besides my grandfather and Qian Xunji, the Spirit Hall also has other Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!" But at this moment, Qian Renxue ruthlessly slapped Qi Ling in the face.
"What? This, how can this be..." Qi Ling was speechless. If Qian Xunji was alive, what was impossible?
"Alright, I miscalculated. But A Xue, Qian Xunji is your father. What does that have to do with you no longer being the leader of the Holy Temple Knight Order?" Qi Ling asked.
"Because it was Qian Xunji who stripped me of my position as commander of the Knights Templar," Qian Renxue said. "And not through normal means, but by luring me away, setting up an ambush, and simultaneously taking over the management of the Holy Temple Knight Order."
At that moment, Qian Renxue told Qi Ling about what had happened before, that is, what had happened before she met Oscar.
On that day, she received an order from the Spirit Hall to send a small force to the Ice Seal lands of the Far North to carry out a special mission.
Because she was surrounded by her trusted confidants, Qian Renxue didn't suspect anything. However, upon arriving at her destination, she was surprised to find not some thugs, but two Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall and several Soul Douluo waiting for her.
These people's goal was naturally to get rid of Qian Renxue. What Qian Renxue found most unacceptable was that there were traitors within the Holy Temple Knight Order, and it was they who led Qian Renxue into the trap.
With two Titled Douluo making their move, if Qian Renxue dies in this Far North, no one will know about the conspiracy, Qian Xunji can smoothly take over the Holy Temple Knight Order, just as he planned.
However, he overlooked one crucial factor: Qian Renxue's strength! To think that two Titled Douluo could take Qian Renxue's life was utterly presumptuous, and these men paid the price for their arrogance, being forever trapped there by Qian Renxue.
