Xiao Chenyu, who transmigrated and became the young city lord of Nuoding City, secretly made an important decision. While Tang San was still an infant, he directly abducted the Blue Silver Emperor....
"Then how do we solve this?" Qian Renxue asked.
She understood what Xiao Chenyu meant. What Xue Qinghe needed now was to keep a low profile and lower others' opinions of her, rather than showcasing her abilities.
"It's simple. We can make a scene and lay the groundwork for our subsequent plans. Your fabricated identity this time is quite good—a descendant of Prince Scheide. He should be one of our people, right?"
Xiao Chenyu had learned that Qian Xue's disguised identity was that of a member of the royal family, the granddaughter of Prince Xue De of the Heaven Dou Empire.
This Prince Scheide is a prince with no official position, but according to seniority, even His Majesty should call him uncle.
“Prince Xue De, dissatisfied with the death of his eldest son at the hands of Emperor Xue Ye, contacted us early on and is now fully committed to the Spirit Hall, only wanting to overthrow the Heaven Dou Empire,” She Long said.
The struggle for imperial power is always brutal, and for some involved, failure means certain death.
“That’s right. Prince Xuede originally wanted to let go of the past and send his granddaughter to the Crown Prince’s residence, but he never expected to be ambushed and killed. However, the person was no match for Uncle She and committed suicide before being captured,” Xiao Chenyu said with a smile.
Soul Masters who are good at hiding their abilities are generally not very strong in combat.
Therefore, if we add the element of a sneak attack to that Soul Emperor, then it would be logical for him to be discovered and killed by She Long.
Of course, that's not the key point; the key point is what will happen next.
"What good will this do us? Is it just to resolve this issue?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.
She finally understood that Xiao Chenyu wanted the stalker to take the blame.
“Of course, this way the Crown Prince’s residence will have a legitimate reason to keep its doors closed, and we will also have a legitimate reason to contact the Fourth Prince,” Xiao Chenyu said with a smile.
"Use Xuede's channels to suppress the Crown Prince's residence, and then incidentally expose that someone wants to target the Crown Prince." She Long said thoughtfully.
Spending time with Xiao Chenyu helped him clear his head considerably.
“But…don’t we not know which faction the Trackers belong to?” Qian Renxue asked hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter. We want people to think it's someone else, then they'll believe who it is."
She Long sighed, a chill running down his spine as he recalled what Xiao Chenyu had mentioned about the propaganda war a while back.
If handled well, even the forces behind the tracker will consider their own spy a traitor.
"The identity of the tracker isn't particularly important; I already have a guess."
Xiao Chenyu walked up to the black-clad Soul Emperor who had been killed by She Long's spear. He was a middle-aged man around 40 years old with an ordinary appearance, the kind of person who would be easily lost in a crowd.
"Who do you think it is?" She Long asked, frowning.
He had previously disdained to learn about it because the Spirit Hall had no allies in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Since we are all enemies, what difference does it make?
But since Xiao Chenyu brought it up, he started to think about it.
"There is a 70% probability that it belongs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and a 30% probability that it comes from other princes."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Qian Renxue asked in surprise.
She simply couldn't understand why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the seven major sects of Douluo Continent, would have any reason to follow them.
"If it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it's most likely because of me," Xiao Chenyu smiled.
"It's no wonder that a 7-year-old Great Soul Master would have such thoughts."
She Long sneered and quickly figured out the key point.
Their purpose in coming out this time was, under the pretext of finding a soul ring for Xiao Chenyu, and to take Qianxue out for training.
Those who don't know might think it's about Xiao Chenyu getting his first soul ring.
However, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School clearly guessed something, which is why they sent a Soul Emperor to confirm it.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that it was indeed done by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"No wonder, your talent is truly exceptional."
Qian Renxue stared at Xiao Chenyu strangely, clicking her tongue in amazement.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the seven major sects, but its main martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, is an auxiliary martial soul.
Although it is hailed as the number one support martial soul in Douluo Continent, its biggest weakness is that it can only be upgraded to level 79 and has no offensive capabilities.
Rumors have it that the current sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gave birth to a girl last year. The six-year age gap isn't that big, so it's not surprising that she would be interested in Xiao Chenyu.
Apart from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, other forces really didn't have much of a motivation.
After all, Xiao Chenyu and Qian Xue are not important figures, and it is not worth sending a Soul Emperor.
"How dare you say that to me? What level are you now?"
Xiao Chenyu glared at Qian Renxue with annoyance. He could accept what others said, but the one in front of him was truly a genius.
"Only level 33, that's very low."
Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly, clearly indicating that she was in a good mood.
Compared to more than half a year ago, her soul power has not increased much.
But she couldn't help it; she hadn't cultivated much in the past six months, and had been studying and imitating Xue Qinghe, which allowed her to slowly improve.
Although Xiao Chenyu's cultivation speed was very fast, he reached level 20 at the age of 7.
But you should know that she was already level 20 on the day her martial soul awakened.
"Heh, I'll surpass you someday," Xiao Chenyu scoffed.
"Then I'll wait and see!"
Qian Renxue patted Xiao Chenyu on the shoulder, unable to stop smiling.
Especially since she is now a head taller than Xiao Chenyu, this height difference makes her feel very accomplished.
"Get out of here!"
Xiao Chenyu rolled his eyes and pushed Qian Renxue's hand away.
If he weren't too old, he would definitely make Qian Renxue understand why flowers are so red.
"Uncle She, I'm leaving this to you. You can handle his body as you see fit; it might be useful, but not necessarily so," Xiao Chenyu said.
