That's Our Money! There's No Way We'll Use It to Fund Our Enemies!!!
"Longxing City? What kind of place is that? Is there really a lair for Evil Soul Master there?" Qian Xunji quickly asked Qian Xunling. Qian Xunling explained, "Longxing City is located at the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire, but it is actually within the territory of the Star Luo Empire."
"I got this information from a high-ranking Evil Soul Master I captured during my travels, so it can't be wrong," Qian Xunling said earnestly.
As for the current situation of that Red Pearl, Qian Xunling thought about it for a moment and then put it out of her mind. She was just Evil Soul Master; if she died, she died.
At this moment, Ling Yuan, who was beside Qian Xunji, said, "If that's really the case, then the members of the Spirit Hall within the Star Luo Empire will have an extra layer of protection."
"?" The crowd was somewhat surprised, pondering Ling Yuan's words, while Qian Xunling chuckled, "Compared to these guys, my sister-in-law is much more to my liking."
"What did you say Xunling!" Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji immediately rebuked him, then glared at Qian Xunling, Qian Xunling rolled her eyes at him. "Idiot."
Seeing Qian Xunji Ling Yuan jealous warmed her heart, so she reached out and took Qian Xunji hand, comforting him, "Xunji, Xunling is just joking, he's not serious."
Qian Xunji looked at Ling Yuan, her jealousy somewhat subsided, while Qian Xunling chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore, let's get down to business."
Qian Xunji was even more displeased now, but chose to nod.
"The Star Luo Empire has now turned against us and is trying to suppress the Spirit Hall forces within their territory. We can't just sit idly by, so I sent them to kill the Evil Soul Master. It's like saving them, or even getting them to withdraw from the Star Luo Empire," Qian Xunling explained.
"Everyone on the continent deeply hates Evil Soul Master, and our Spirit Hall has always taken it upon ourselves to eradicate Evil Soul Master. With this identity, the Star Luo Empire has to reconsider whether to continue suppressing the members of the Spirit Hall," Qian Xunling said coldly.
"If they continue their suppression, it will be tantamount to being branded as aiding Evil Soul Master, and the entire continent will despise the Star Luo Empire."
At this point, Qian Xunling's expression became more composed. "But if they choose not to suppress the Spirit Hall members, then our members can take the opportunity to leave the Star Luo Empire."
"Okay, I agree." After listening to the whole process, Qian Xunji nodded directly. He had originally been thinking about how to help the members of the Spirit Hall within the Star Luo Empire.
Sending Titled Douluo directly would make the Spirit Hall appear even more domineering and would instill greater fear of the Spirit Hall throughout the continent.
However, this new plan will not only avoid alienating the major powers from the Spirit Hall, but will also restrict the Star Luo Empire.
However, this was not enough for Qian Xunling Qian Xunling. She continued, "At the same time, notify all Spirit City Masters within the Star Luo Empire to suspend the stipends of all Soul Master belonging to the Star Luo Empire, especially those who led the spread of negative rumors. Order them to be barred from receiving Spirit Hall stipends for life, and even for their descendants. If they want their stipends, they should go to their Star Luo Empire's Emperor."
The crowd's expressions changed again, but Qian Xunling could tell they were somewhat pleased.
Since the subsidies for the Star Luo Empire have stopped, doesn't that mean their Gold Soul Coin might increase?
Now they can make some money off of themselves again.
Qian Xunling took in their expressions, but instead of exposing them, she asked, "What are your opinions?"
"This subordinate has no objections."
We have no objection.
Everyone responded positively, much more relaxed than before.
Qian Xunji nodded in agreement. Every year, the Spirit Hall spends hundreds of thousands or even millions of Gold Soul Coin to support these registered Soul Master Soul Master do not serve the Spirit Hall. This is a considerable expense.
Now that the Star Luo Empire has chosen to break ties with the Spirit Hall, why should the Spirit Hall continue to help them as before? Let them fend for themselves.
"In that case, let's all go and carry it out. I hope that from today onwards, I will see a completely new Spirit Hall, not the Spirit Hall of the past." Qian Xunling looked at these high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, who all nodded, each more respectful than the last, and then left one by one.
"Xunling, I'm still a little worried. If we stop the subsidies, won't all the Soul Master belonging to the Star Luo Empire be pushed to the Star Luo Empire?" Ling Yuan asked at this moment, then added, "They are also a considerable force."
Qian Xunling was also awakened; this was also a potential problem.
However, Qian Xunling replied calmly, "When disaster strikes, everyone flies away. How many Soul Master Soul Master truly belong to the Star Luo Empire? Those who truly need this stipend would have already chosen to go to the Star Dou Empire with the Spirit Hall."
"Since they still choose to stay in the Star Luo Empire, it's equivalent to standing on the same side as the Star Luo Empire, making them our enemies. Why should our Spirit Hall use its own money to support enemies who are fighting against us?"
At this point, Qian Xunling said with some anger, "I'm already being lenient by not making them spit it out, and they still dare to mess with us? That's our Spirit Hall's money!"
"This..." Qian Xunji and Ling Yuan fell silent. Qian Xunling waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, the outcome will definitely be good. I don't believe these guys would risk their lives for a Star Luo Empire that has never helped them, unless they're a bunch of idiots."
Speaking of idiots, Qian Xunling suddenly fell silent. Besides being the place where the God of Love fell, Douluo Continent is actually more like a gathering place for a bunch of idiots.
Then Qian Xunling said, "Alright, tell them that if they choose not to interfere in the affairs of the Spirit Hall and don't turn against it, they will still receive their allowance. However, if they change their minds halfway through, the third generation will be blacklisted by the Spirit Hall."
"That's good then." Ling Yuan nodded, finally relieved. Qian Xunji also nodded and said, "I'll tell them about this later."
"Okay," Qian Xunling replied, then said, "You guys go and carry it out. I have other things to take care of."
After saying that, Qian Xunling turned and left the Pope's Hall.
After Qian Xunling left, Qian Xunji said somewhat unhappily, "It's unbelievable that I, the Pope, have to listen to Xunling."
Ling Yuan smiled gently, took Qian Xunji's hand, and said, "But Xunling is indeed very capable, isn't he? Now we have a direction to solve the problems inside and outside the Spirit Hall, and your workload will be much lighter from now on."
Qian Xunji did not refute this statement.
After leaving the Pope's Hall, Qian Xunling turned to look at Bibi Dong, who was standing to the side as if she had been waiting for a long time, and said speechlessly, "Little Spider, your martial aunt also needs to live her own life. How can you keep following me around?"
"You're a young, unmarried woman, can't you go find love or focus on your cultivation?"
"Uncle-Master..." Bibi Dong seemed not to hear Qian Xunling's words. She slowly walked to Qian Xunling's side, then reached out a hand to grab Qian Xunling's clothes, her head bowed. "Little Spider will soon be able to adapt to life without Uncle-Master, but not yet. Uncle-Master, you must take Little Spider with you."
She raised her adorable, cheeky face, making one want to give her a kiss. Qian Xunling frowned slightly, but she couldn't muster any anger in her heart.
Perhaps she had unconsciously grown accustomed to having a crybaby always by her side, so Qian Xunling shook off Bibi Dong's hand, turned around, and said, "Come on."
Bibi Dong, who thought her martial uncle wanted to get rid of her completely, was all ready to cry, but she didn't expect to hear this reply. So she immediately smiled, hummed twice, and followed Qian Xunling with small steps.
"Uncle-Master, Uncle-Master, where are we going?" Bibi Dong asked excitedly, while Qian Xunling replied impatiently, "The Star Luo Imperial Palace."
