"…"
Upon hearing Qian Renjue's words, Qian Daoliu was initially stunned, but his eyes soon lit up.
The description was truly fitting.
Qian Renxue's eyes also sparkled with surprise and delight.
The summary was very good.
Especially recently, after the Spirit Hall had completely driven the Clear Sky Clan back to their home, the strength of the Spirit Hall had become deeply entrenched in people's minds.
Even the so-called number one sect in the world had to tremble before the Spirit Hall.
Not to mention other forces?
They were probably already in a state of constant fear and vigilance.
Seeing their expressions, Qian Renjue smiled proudly, "Sister, was I right?"
"You were very right."
Qian Renxue nodded with a smile.
She then asked, "So what do you think they will do?"
"Of course, they will band together for protection."
Qian Renjue answered without hesitation.
"Yes, they are all banding together to keep us in check, and the Empire is naturally among them."
Qian Renxue nodded with deep meaning, but before she could elaborate, Qian Renjue interrupted her.
"Even so, Sister, there's no need for you to go undercover."
Qian Renxue was taken aback, "Why?"
"Because the Heaven Dou Empire doesn't even have a Titled Douluo; it's easier to break down compared to those sects."
Qian Renjue said with conviction.
Qian Renxue was surprised and looked at Qian Renjue with a strange expression.
"Jue, is that really what you think?"
"Yes."
Qian Renjue nodded seriously.
Qian Renxue smiled, "Then tell me, what should we do?"
Qian Renjue frowned, "The number of Title Douluo we have can cleanly assassinate the upper echelons of the Empire in a short time."
"That won't work."
Before Qian Renjue could finish, Qian Renxue shook her head to deny it.
Looking at him meaningfully, she said, "The Heaven Dou Empire represents not just the royal family but the entire noble class."
"The noble class?"
Qian Renjue was puzzled and started to contemplate.
Although some of the knowledge was a bit vague, there were things he was still clear about.
"Yes."
Qian Renxue nodded, explaining, "Those nobles are loyal supporters of the Empire, and the relationships among them are complex. When united, they are no less of a threat than those sects."
"…"
Qian Renjue was speechless.
In this world, nobles were often linked with soul masters.
"If we really went on a killing spree, it would undoubtedly enrage the masses. The sects wouldn't stand by and would probably join forces against us."
Qian Renxue said with a hint of emotion.
Having played the role of the Empire's crown prince for many years, she understood the nobles better and was also clearer about the defeat of the Spirit Hall back then.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renjue fell into complete silence.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but look up at Qian Daoliu.
"Also, Grandpa, do you remember the Spirit Hall's overseas campaigns?"
"…"
Qian Daoliu was stunned, then he nodded slightly.
"Of course, Grandpa remembers."
"Then Grandpa should know that our enemies are not necessarily all from this land."
With Qian Renxue's words, Qian Dao Liu's eyes inevitably grew serious.
Mentioning Sea God Island, Qian Daoliu had nothing more to say.
It was indeed a power not inferior to the Spirit Hall.
Qian Renxue's eyes held a hint of mockery as she pinched Qian Renjue's face, "To deal with those enemies and ensure long-term peace, uniting some and eliminating some is inevitable."
Qian Renjue dejectedly nodded.
"Sister, I understand, but isn't going undercover a waste of time?"
Before he could finish his plea, Qian Renjue suddenly remembered a certain elixir he had previously got from the system.
It might be helpful to Qian Renxue.
He might even persuade her not to go undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Qian Renxue comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, I can balance the matters regarding cultivation and politics."
Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly.
Ultimately, he couldn't stop her.
However, Qian Renxue's words opened his eyes.
Especially Sea God Island; he had been neglecting this hidden danger all along.
Perhaps absorbing some and eliminating some was indeed the best solution.
But the absorbed part couldn't be too weak; it needed to have a a little strength.
Otherwise, it would be useless.
Yet, it also couldn't be too strong, or it would be difficult to control.
Qian Daoliu turned his gaze to the siblings, especially focusing on Qian Renxue.
If uniting, a marriage alliance seemed like a good idea.
Noticing Qian Daoliu's gaze, Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ha ha. It's nothing."
Qian Daoliu laughed and shifted his gaze, temporarily setting aside those thoughts.
He then took out the blood-red round jade pendant and handed it to Qian Renjue.
"Xiao Jue, this is a coronation gift from Grandpa."
"Gift?"
Qian Renjue took the gift curiously.
Qian Renxue's brows furrowed slightly.
"This jade pendant should be worn properly from now on."
Qian Daoliu said with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Mm, thank you, Grandpa."
…
After leaving the Worship Hall, it was already evening.
As soon as they stepped outside, Qian Renjue hung the blood-red jade pendant on his waist and asked Qian Renxue, "Sister, how is it? Does it look good?"
"It looks very good."
Qian Renxue smiled perfunctorily.
Then she stepped forward and took the jade pendant off Qian Renxue's waist.
"Sister?"
Qian Renjue looked at her in confusion.
Qian Renxue put the jade pendant back into Qian Renjue's hand.
"Xiao Jue, you need to keep this gift properly. Don't let anyone see it."
"Huh?"
"Don't lose it. It's best to put it into a soul guide device."
"…"
Qian Renjue was stunned. This was completely different from what Qian Daoliu said.
"Did you hear that?"
Qian Renxue asked with a frown.
"Yes, I heard."
Qian Renjue reluctantly put away the jade pendant.
"Okay, good."
Qian Renxue finally put on a smile again.
Softly, she said, "Today, you've succeeded to the position of the Holy Son. I also have a gift for you."
*Smooch!*
Before she could finish, Qian Renjue felt a warm sensation on his cheek.
The evening breeze blew, bringing a bit of dampness and coolness.
"Let's go, time for dinner."
Before Qian Renjue could react, the slightly flushed and smiling Qian Renxue pulled him down the mountain.
"Thank you, Sister."
The evening wind carried Qian Renjue's words of thanks.
…
At dinner time.
The siblings arrived at Bibi Dong's courtyard.
Qian Renjue noticed that after Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong exchanged some whispers, their gazes toward him had changed.
They seemed a bit wary, as if afraid he would steal food from their bowls.
Bibi Dong's eyes even showed some anger.
She was annoyed that Qian Daoliu had casually decided her son's lifelong matters.
Qian Renjue, holding his bowl, asked curiously, "Mom, why are you looking at me like that? It's Sister who's leaving, not me."
