"Then, I am very grateful for Your Highness's kindness."
Tang Yuehua also smiled back.
Tang Yuehua had a friendly attitude towards Xue Qinghe. After all, he was capable and would most likely be the next emperor of the Tian Dou Empire in the future. Naturally, she had to take him seriously.
"Teacher Tang, I wonder what you think of this man named Tang San?" Xue Qinghe asked about Tang San.
"He stands out like a tree in a forest, ignorant of the vastness of the world, only wanting to be famous. He is not worth worrying about."
Tang Yuehua belittled Tang San, but in fact, she didn't want Xue Qinghe to shift his attention to Tang San. "The Tian Dou Empire is based on the people. Your Highness doesn't need to pay too much attention to these things. Although soul masters are powerful, they cannot determine the outcome of a war. Eighty percent of the Tian Dou army are ordinary people, but they are well-trained and can form battle formations. They can still render soul masters helpless."
"Those soul masters only know how to fight on their own. At most, they form small groups of seven people. If there are too many of them, they will fall into disarray."
"As for the powerful titled Douluos, unless the two major empires on the continent start a full-scale war, they will not be easily mobilized. They are all pursuing breakthroughs to higher realms."
Xue Qinghe sighed. "As expected of Teacher Tang. Although you are a woman, you can see the situation on the continent so clearly. I still have a lot to learn from you."
Tang Yuehua suddenly realized that she had said too much, but she didn't immediately change her face. Instead, she smiled sweetly. "Your Highness is overpraising me. I only have a little insight. Compared to Your Highness's confidants, I am far inferior. It's just a woman's opinion."
"Teacher Tang is too modest."
Xue Qinghe smiled and chatted with Tang Yuehua for a while. After practicing musical instruments for a while, he left Yuexuan, returned to her palace courtyard, and called over a twelve-year-old boy.
"Wang Chen, do you regret it?" Xue Qinghe looked at the handsome boy in front of her and asked, "Whale glue can increase physical strength, but you discovered it first. However, you told me that it was a secret and could not be made public. But someone else discovered it and published it through the Spirit Hall Newspaper. The Spirit Hall also gained greater benefits because of this, and your reputation was stolen by that Tang San."
The boy named Wang Chen had a gloomy expression. Finally, he sighed and said, "Young Master, it was my lack of consideration. However, Tang San's actions can benefit everyone, including the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He will definitely not side with the Spirit Hall."
"Moreover, he was able to write a theory like 'The Self-Analysis and Positioning of Soul Masters', which allows soul masters on the continent to analyze their own advantages more accurately. He must be quick-witted."
"Such a person will definitely not submit to the Spirit Hall, let alone to you, Young Master."
The smile on Xue Qinghe's face faded as she asked, "So?"
"Therefore, I suggest killing him directly to eliminate future troubles." A murderous intent flashed in Wang Chen's eyes. After all, Tang San's actions had exceeded his expectations. Whether it was the butterfly effect or something else, in order to avoid uncertainty, he would not be like those idiotic fan fiction novels, able to kill but not kill, just to drag out the plot.
If possible, he wanted to kill Tang San while he was still young.
However, now that he thought about it, when Tang San was born, he was only six years old. He had just awakened his martial soul and couldn't do anything. Although he was discovered by Xue Qinghe because of his innate full soul power and was brought into the palace, he usually couldn't see Xue Qinghe at all. Instead, he was taught by a Soul King along with other talented children brought back by Xue Qinghe.
He also wanted to make hypothetical suggestions, but he was refuted by the Soul King and reported to Xue Qinghe, saying that he was extremely unruly because of his innate full soul power.
Xue Qinghe didn't speak up for him. Instead, she changed him into worn-out civilian clothes, smeared him with dirty mud, and threw him into Tian Dou City. She told him, "If you can survive in Tian Dou City for three days without anything, then I can choose to believe you."
The truth was that without anything, he couldn't survive in Tian Dou City for three days. Although some people would sympathize with a dirty six-year-old beggar and give him some food, no one would listen to his "nonsense". His age also meant that he couldn't find any work.
The people in the city were all well-dressed and looked down on him, a mud-legged man from an ordinary small village, even though he was just a child.
In the end, he couldn't hold on for even a day and returned to the outskirts of Xue Qinghe's palace courtyard, hoping to be forgiven by Xue Qinghe. However, Xue Qinghe still ignored him for two days before letting him in.
From then on, he understood that Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) and he were not of the same class. Whether it was status or talent (the other party had an innate twentieth level), he had nothing to compare with the other party.
Innate full soul power, this talent was indeed top-notch, but Xue Qinghe would not treat him favorably because of this. After all, with her innate twentieth level, she had the qualifications to look down on all the soul masters on the continent.
From then on, Wang Chen stopped being frivolous and accepted the Soul King's teachings. With his innate full soul power talent, he cultivated faster than others. At the age of nine, he broke through to the twentieth level and "coincidentally" discovered the effect of whale glue. He told Xue Qinghe about it and gradually approached her, becoming her subordinate.
However, after Xue Qinghe learned about the effects of whale glue, she didn't pass it on to the Spirit Hall. Wang Chen guessed that she probably wanted to prove herself to Bibi Dong after taking control of the Tian Dou Empire and then release the effects of whale glue.
Therefore, she only collected a small amount. If she collected a large amount, others would notice. After all, the other forces on the continent were not fools. Xue Qinghe could buy it three or four times, saying that she might have some problems in that area. If she bought it more than ten times, and each time she bought a large amount, anyone would guess that Xue Qinghe had discovered other uses for whale glue.
At the very least, Ning Fengzhi was Xue Qinghe's teacher on the surface. He would definitely notice this behavior. On the Douluo Continent, although the relationship between teacher and disciple was not the kind of "one day as a teacher, lifelong as a father", once a disciple became a teacher, although they could have their own secrets, the teacher would not delve into them. However, when the teacher asked, the disciple had to answer as much as possible.
"Kill him?"
Xue Qinghe looked at Wang Chen for a while and said indifferently, "Your heart is a little narrow."
Wang Chen's face darkened, but he still insisted, "If he releases it like this, it might disrupt your plan. It's better to eliminate the uncertain factors, even if it means sending a titled Douluo."
He didn't say that Tang San was the son of the Haotian Douluo because Xue Qinghe's mind was actually very meticulous.
He, Wang Chen, had almost never left Tian Dou City except for the small village where he was born. He had never been to other places. If he told Tang San's background, then the question would come, how did he know?
A genius could have his own secrets, but Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue)'s personality was actually very domineering. She liked to control everything. Even if it was a genius from another force, she would secretly send someone to collect their detailed information.
And he, Wang Chen, a genius who grew up under her nose, actually knew a secret that she didn't know?
Would Qian Renxue still trust him?
I read the original novel and found that Qian Renxue came to Tian Dou to exchange the cat for the prince. Her main goal was to prove herself to Bibi Dong.
From this perspective, it seems that it is also possible to understand why she suddenly gave up after losing to Tang San in the original novel. Because in this era with a background of extraordinary power, limited by external concepts and thinking, and considering her childhood environment, it is not difficult to understand why she had such a personality in the original novel.
After all, she lacked love:
Father's love, she was born without it; mother's love, cold violence; grandfather's love for his granddaughter was mostly about hoping that she would become a god.
Coupled with the fact that she herself was an extremely arrogant soul master.
Then she was defeated, and her mentality immediately collapsed.
In addition, she had been replacing Xue Qinghe since she was young and pretending to be him. It would be strange if she was still sane.
