“Oh, right.”
Qian Daoliu stopped dwelling on the heavy topic.
He inquired, “Does Xiaoxue know about the Heaven Dou Empire's First Prince being named Crown Prince?”
“Yes, I already know.”
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
She was actually the one manipulating things behind the scenes.
More than a year had passed since the Third Prince's death.
It was time for the Heaven Dou Empire to establish an heir from the remaining two princes.
Xue Beng, being less than ten years old, naturally had no chance.
Death was all that awaited him.
The purple pupils in Qian Renxue's crimson eyes flashed with cold killing intent.
“Why is Grandpa bringing this up all of a sudden?”
Qian Renxue gently rubbed her eyebrows, puzzled.
Logically, Qian Daoliu shouldn't be paying attention to these things.
“Haha.”
Qian Daoliu's smile was somewhat forced.
He said with a guilty conscience, “It's because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wants Xiaojue to visit.”
“Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?”
Qian Renxue narrowed her phoenix eyes, her voice gradually losing warmth.
“Does this matter have anything to do with the Heaven Dou Royal Family establishing an heir?”
As soon as she spoke,
Qian Renxue seemed to have grasped something crucial.
The relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wasn't good enough for such a visit.
A sudden visit would only increase suspicion from all sides.
Ning Fengzhi probably wanted to use the Heaven Dou Empire's newly established heir as an excuse.
“It seems you've already guessed it, Xiaoxue.”
Qian Daoliu's eyes darted around, his face stiffening at Qian Renxue's cold appearance.
“In a while, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire will host a banquet for guests from all directions.”
“Firstly, to announce Xue Qinghe's position as Crown Prince, and secondly, to familiarize him with the major powers.”
Qian Renxue nodded expressionlessly.
He was, after all, the successor to the empire.
It was necessary to familiarize himself with the major powers for future interactions.
“But why is Grandpa telling me all this?”
Qian Renxue's eyes held a hint of teasing, as if she knew the answer.
“This…”
Qian Daoliu hesitated, then said with an awkward smile:
“Someone needs to tell Xiaojue, Grandpa is afraid he won't want to go.”
“Grandpa knows about this and is still arranging this marriage behind Jue's back?”
Qian Renxue said reproachfully.
“Isn't Grandpa taking your advice? If it's really surrounded by enemies on all sides, it would indeed be too difficult…”
Qian Daoliu sighed helplessly.
Besides the missing Tang Chen, what truly pressured him was the threat from overseas.
He had been to sea before and understood that all sea spirit masters worshiped the Sea God.
The cohesion of those sea spirit masters was terrifying!
In contrast, the continent was a mixed bag, with everyone fighting their own battles.
How many people believed in the Spirit Hall, and how many knew about the Angel God?
“……”
Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
Surrounded by enemies on all sides…
She had indeed experienced that situation, but the threats came from more than just all directions.
The greater threat came from the upper realm!
Her purple eyes opened and closed.
Qian Renxue agreed.
“Grandpa, don't worry, I will personally accompany Jue to the Heaven Dou Empire then.”
“That's good.”
The smile on Qian Daoliu's face finally became natural.
“I will instruct Jiang Mo and the others to investigate Xiaojue's seventh spirit ring.”
“……”
——————
By the time Qian Renxue stepped out of the Hall of Offerings,
the sky was already showing a hint of dawn, and wisps of purple energy were dissipating.
In the flower-filled courtyard,
Qian Renjue had gotten up early, which was rare for him.
After what happened last night, he barely slept.
Especially since he was alone in his room.
He felt that the bedding wasn't as soft and fragrant as usual, which he wasn't used to.
Sitting in the gazebo in the center of the lotus pond,
Qian Renjue stretched and began to ponder with his face propped up.
The things he obtained from the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger were very practical.
This made him want to raise the Evil God Hook to the 100,000-year level even more.
Touching the black mark between his eyebrows,
Qian Renjue couldn't help but smile.
“Let's raise the Evil God Hook to 100,000 years, and then look for a suitable spirit beast.”
“It's not good to just stay at home and wait.”
Slight footsteps sounded at the courtyard gate.
Golden hair swayed in the wind, and her figure was slender. Qian Renxue looked at Qian Renjue in the lotus pond.
She felt a sense of warmth.
“Seriously, from childhood to adulthood, he always likes to smile foolishly to himself like this.”
Qian Renxue murmured softly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
She had seen it for so many years, but she still couldn't get tired of it.
“Jue.”
Qian Renxue stood on the short bridge and called out softly.
“Sister!”
Qian Renjue turned his head to look at the beautiful figure, his smile even brighter.
“Sister, why did you go for so long? What did you talk about with Grandpa?”
“We talked about a lot of things.”
Qian Renxue stepped forward and gently hugged Qian Renjue's head, holding him in her arms.
She whispered, “Mainly about the God trials.”
At the mention of God trials, the smile on Qian Renjue's face faded slightly.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around her slender and flexible waist.
He asked softly, “When does Sister plan to start?”
“……”
Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then gently tightened her embrace.
“After Jue obtains his seventh spirit ring, accompany Sister to the Spirit Hall.”
“Okay, I'll remember that.”
Qian Renjue nodded gently.
He also wanted to personally witness Qian Renxue's God trial.
That day shouldn't be far away.
“Mm.”
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
This time, she no longer needed Qian Daoliu's help; she wanted to pass the trials with her own strength.
She had already thought it through.
God trials also required time to complete, and she had to grasp the time herself.
“By the way, what were you smiling foolishly about just now?”
Qian Renxue shook off those unhappy thoughts.
She cupped his handsome face in her hands and gently rubbed it, finally seeing the black-purple mark.
“Huh? Jue, what's this thing between your eyebrows?”
Qian Renjue leaned against her warm jade-like embrace, tilted his head, and looked past the canal.
His gaze fell on her beautiful face looking down at him.
He explained, “This is the product of the combination of that bead and the Boundless Sea Universe Cover.”
“So you were happy because of this just now?”
Qian Renxue suddenly understood, and after playing with it a few more times, she released Qian Renjue.
“Yes!”
Qian Renjue sat up straight, straightened his clothes, and began to introduce it before Qian Renxue could ask.
“Sister, look, I've named it the Evil God's Heart.”
Before he could finish speaking,
a purple-black triangle appeared in his hand, and the dense, deep black light seemed to devour the light.
“What an evil aura!”
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
“Calling this thing the Evil God's Heart is not an exaggeration at all.”
Looking up at Qian Renjue's smiling face.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but smile.
“Tell me, what kind of magical powers does it have that make my good brother so happy?”
“Sister, this thing… besides the original four skills of the Boundless Sea Universe Cover, it doesn't have any other skills yet. It needs to be developed later.”
Qian Renjue introduced it with great interest.
“And the basis for developing skills is the attributes of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, wind, thunder, and even time and space.”
As he spoke,
the Evil God's Heart in Qian Renjue's hand had small hurricanes erupting and slight lightning entwining under the infusion of soul power.
The Evil God's Heart suddenly teleported and arrived at Qian Renjue's brow.
“This thing…”
Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with deep shock, and she couldn't help but exclaim:
“This Evil God's Heart is simply a divine artifact!”
“Sister… it is a divine artifact!”
Qian Renjue said confidently, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
“……”
Qian Renxue was stunned.
Then, her eyes slowly lit up, and she took a deep look at Qian Renjue.
Divine artifacts were not so easy to obtain.
Qian Renxue was even more convinced that Qian Renjue must have been chosen by a certain god.
Her brother was the most outstanding man in the world.
It seemed not surprising to be chosen by a god.
I wish you all a happy life!
