In the end, Qi Ling had no choice but to agree to Xiao Wu's request and let her set off with the others the next day.
After leaving the dormitory, Qi Ling finally received good news: Qian Renxue, who had been sleeping, had finally woken up.
" A Xue, you're awake?" Qi Ling rushed to the medical room and saw Qian Renxue getting ready to go outside.
Upon seeing Qi Ling, Qian Renxue smiled slightly and said, "You've slept for three days, it's time to wake up. I've never slept for this long since I can remember."
"I'm so sorry, A Xue, I didn't realize you had such serious injuries that it led to this," Qi Ling said apologetically. "I will definitely find a way to help you restore your Martial Soul."
Qian Renxue smiled nonchalantly, "It's nothing, Qi Ling. Although I can't use my Martial Soul, being an ordinary person is pretty good too. I can also enjoy the feeling of being protected."
Qi Ling immediately patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, A Xue, I will protect you and promise not to let anyone hurt you!"
"Really? Then I'll leave it to you." Qian Renxue smiled. " Qi Ling, I'm a weak and vulnerable woman now, so you'd better take responsibility!"
When everyone saw Qian Renxue, they were overjoyed. After she could no longer use her Martial Soul, Qian Renxue lost some of her fortitude but gained more gentleness, making her even more like a girl.
Upon learning that Qi Ling and the others would be setting off the next day to recruit the Four Single-Attribute Clans, Qian Renxue became interested and expressed her desire to go along.
"Oh? A Xue, you've just recovered, shouldn't you avoid such strenuous activity? This trip will last at least a month and a half, it's exhausting," Qi Ling said.
Qian Renxue laughed and said, " Qi Ling, you underestimate me too much. I'm not some weak young lady, but a knight. Even if I can't use my Martial Soul, I'm not that weak."
"But..." Qi Ling was still uneasy, but Qian Renxue laughed and said, "Besides, Qi Ling, didn't you say you would protect me? You've been gone for so long, how are you going to protect me?"
"Sigh, alright, alright, I really can't do anything with you." Qi Ling sighed helplessly. "But it's good that you're coming along. There are some things you can use once we get there."
Thus, the group's lineup was finalized. The next day, when Qi Ling led everyone to the Strength Clan's residence, Tai Tan looked at them in surprise and said, "Young Master, Alliance Leader, we're not going on a sightseeing trip. Is it really necessary to bring so many people?"
"Sigh, Elder Tai Tan, this is how we show our strength. After all, who knows what kind of force the other three single-attribute families are in? We can't afford to lose face," Qi Ling laughed. "Besides, there's nothing wrong with treating it as a relaxing trip."
Tai Tan sighed helplessly, but still said with difficulty, "Alliance Leader, although our Tai Tan clan often travels far, we don't have that many carriages. I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you..."
"That's alright. The journey is long, so finding a suitable vehicle is quite necessary," Qi Ling said. "That's why I've already arranged a private carriage for you. Let's get going!"
When the Strength Clan brought the luxurious carriage that Qi Ling had mentioned, Tai Tan was speechless. The price of this carriage was equivalent to the Strength Clan's monthly expenses. This leader of the alliance is truly a man who doesn't care about money!
All the carriages provided by Qi Ling are not only top-of-the-line, ensuring a comfortable ride, but also minimize road bumps.
More importantly, the horses pulling the carriage were not ordinary horses, but special horses tamed by Soul Beast. Their speed and endurance were far superior to those of ordinary horses.
Upon seeing the luxurious carriage before them, Fatty and Oscar were utterly stunned, their eyes practically gleaming with Gold Soul Coin. They couldn't help but exclaim to Qi Ling, " Boss Qi, you're incredibly wealthy! I don't think even Xue Ye's carriage is this luxurious!"
Qi Ling laughed, "Nonsense! The carriages can't compare to those of royalty, but I have a lot of confidence in the horses! They're all precious steeds carefully bred for me. The future of the knightly order will depend on them!"
Upon hearing the words "Knights Order, "Qian Renxue immediately became interested. She stepped forward, examining the condition of each horse, and couldn't help but say, "These are indeed fine horses. Taming Soul Beast is something people wouldn't even dare to dream of. Qi Ling, how did you manage to do it?"
Qi Ling smiled and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. Don't worry, I haven't mistreated them. My relationship with them is fair and just!"
Xiao Wu then came to the horse's side, pressed her face to its mouth as if listening to what it was saying, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Brother Qi, they not only volunteered, but they were also very happy!"
"Furthermore, they also talk about social insurance and housing fund, seven days on, one day off, year-end bonus, pension fund... These are all terms I don't understand at all. Did you teach them these?"
"Ahem, I guess so." Qi Ling said rather awkwardly, having forgotten that Xiao Wu, being Soul Beast, could naturally understand what other Soul Beast were saying. This true "corporate slave" in the Douluo Continent was someone Qi Ling had gone to great lengths to acquire.
After the initial surprise, everyone boarded the carriages, which were driven by members of the Strength Clan, and headed out of Heaven Dou City.
The Strength Clan didn't send many people this time. Including Tai Tan and Tai Long, there were only six people. Moreover, except for Tai Long, they were all Soul King with Soul Power Level of over 50.
Including Qi Ling and his six companions, the group of twelve traveled in three carriages from Heaven Dou City towards their destination, Longxing City.
The carriage was spacious enough that even with six people inside, it wouldn't feel crowded at all. The reason for bringing three carriages was simply so that Qi Ling could rest without being restricted when she wanted to.
On the carriage, Tai Tan explained the origins of the Four Single-Attribute Clans and the Clear Sky Sect to everyone. Only then did the crowd understand the story, and they couldn't help but begin to worry: would the Four Single-Attribute Clans join Dragon's Glory?
"Don't worry, I believe in Xiao San's personal charm!" Qi Ling said, patting Tang San on the shoulder. "If they don't want to go back to the Clear Sky Sect, then just let them join the Tang Sect, right? Follow my brother, and I guarantee you'll make a fortune!"
Tai Tan gave a helpless, bitter smile, "Leader, what's the point of talking about making a fortune at a time like this? It's already a miracle we can even survive."
"If I'm not mistaken, the first target of the Spirit Hall should be our single-attribute families. After all, although our family's power is weak, our individual strength is quite strong, and the quality of our Martial Soul is top-notch. In fact, the Spirit Hall has tried to win us over many times in the past few years."
"It's not called the Spirit Hall anymore; it's now called the Divine Court," Qi Ling said. "In that case, we need to hurry; we can't let that Qian Xunji beat us to it."
