Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 121 Qian Renxue: I'll Take You to See My Grandfather

(Night)

"Gorlong greets Your Highness the Crown Prince." Dressed in a gleaming silver armor and wearing a trident helmet, Golong knelt on one knee, his deep voice filled with respect.

Qian Renxue hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ge Long up with both hands, saying, "Marshal, there's no need for such formalities. I can't accept such a grand gesture."

Golong stood up and laughed heartily, "Your Highness is too modest. Over the years, you have been extremely dedicated to the cultivation of talent in the empire."

Without you here, with those incompetent officials and extravagant nobles, this old minister would have long been worried about the future of the empire and had no hope.

His Majesty has decreed that I should spend this time giving you a thorough overview of the Imperial Army.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it won't be long before you begin to oversee the country," he sighed.

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered slightly. The good news came a little too quickly. The army is the foundation of an empire, and military power is something that, at any time, can only be touched by the emperor and his trusted confidants.

Even now, as the crown prince, he only has 2000 personal guards. The entire Heavenly Dou Empire has hundreds of thousands of personnel, and if a war breaks out, that number could reach a million.

Although the overall strength of the Heaven Dou Legion is not as good as that of the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall, it still has the strength to fight because of its large numbers.

Now that the Snow Night Emperor intends to let her take charge of military affairs ahead of time, this undoubtedly gives her greater power, and it can be said that she has completely secured her position as the next emperor.

As a return gift, why don't we just have Xueye send it quickly?
After seeing Ge Long off, Qian Renxue summoned the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo.

"Xue Ye has already issued an order for him to familiarize me with the affairs of the Heavenly Dou Empire's army. The day he assumes the regency is probably not far off."

Serpent Spear Douluo's expression brightened with joy. "Young Master, this is a good thing. In this way, our plan is more than half completed, and the Heaven Dou Empire has already fallen into the hands of our Spirit Hall."

The Porcupine Douluo said in a deep voice, "Young Master, the situation seems favorable now, but we still need to be careful."

Qian Renxue nodded. "I have my own plans, and everything is under control."

She sat down in the main seat, tapping her fingers on the table in a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound. After a moment of thought, she slowly spoke: "Speaking of which, isn't it almost time to return to the Spirit Hall every year?"

Snake Spear nodded. "Two weeks from now is the time to return to the Spirit Hall to report for duty. However, Young Master, you haven't been back for the past two years."

Qian Renxue chuckled softly, "You haven't been back for a long time either, so why don't you go back together this time? I miss Grandpa too."

Serpent Spear and Porcupine Pufferfish's eyes lit up. "Going back is great! We'll find a great traitor to come back with us."

The affair between Qian Renxue and Ling Qianyao was a secret. They dared not publicize it at all, and not even a single word was sent back to the Spirit Hall. After all, no one knew whether the Grand Elder, who was obsessed with his granddaughter, would get angry.

In addition, during this period, Qian Renxue seemed to be different from before, insisting on handling everything personally, big or small. After handing over many documents to the two of them, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo complained endlessly about those memorials and documents every day.

Ultimately, they are Soul Masters who prefer cultivation and are somewhat averse to things that consume mental energy.

Serpent Spear beamed with delight, "As you command, Young Master." Which guy should we bring over? Tang Hao in the shadows is probably a Super Douluo, so perhaps we should invite a respected elder?

Qian Renxue looked at the excited yet sly expressions on the faces of the Serpent Spear and the Porcupine Douluo, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.
"However, I will also be taking two people with me on this trip, Zhu Qing and Qian Yao."

"Huh?" Serpent Spear Douluo was taken aback, then his eyes flickered. What did the young master mean by this? Did he intend to confront the Grand Elder directly?

When he arrived at the Hall of Worship, was he supposed to tell him, "Grand Elder, we didn't keep a close eye on the young master. He found a husband on his own, and I even helped him cover it up. Now that the man has been brought here, thankfully no one has died yet?" Thinking of this, Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Young Master, I suddenly think we should reconsider our plan to go to Spirit City," he stammered. "Besides, they shouldn't have any reason to leave Heaven Dou."

Qian Renxue shook her index finger in front of her eyes. "The avalanche involves fallen soul masters. I will go to Wuhun City as Xue Qinghe."

The purpose was to discuss the plan to eliminate fallen soul masters within the empire. From now on, the empire will have zero tolerance for fallen soul masters, which is a good thing in itself.

Bringing Qianyao and Zhuqing along was to showcase the Heavenly Dou Empire's strength.

She paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "More importantly, it's to showcase the exceptional talent of my companions to His Holiness the Pope! It's also a good thing to give those so-called Golden Generation guys from the Spirit Hall a blow and help them temper their character!"

Serpent Spear, Porcupinefish: I suspect you're trying to show off your husband to the Pope.
Qian Renxue let out a breath, "How's the matter of that fallen soul master Zhang Sangui going?"

"He committed suicide in prison. His wife and children have made all the arrangements, and they have no worries about the future. It's a pity. If he had found the Spirit Hall the moment his spirit mutated, there might have been a chance to save him."

His Ghost Hand Martial Soul is somewhat similar to Ghostly Martial Soul. If Ghostly Martial Soul were to intervene, it could very well help him resolve the issue of needing to devour the blood and souls of others after his Martial Soul mutated.

Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, "Life is unpredictable. Even if he wanted to find it back then, he didn't have the means. Fortunately, after we did our best to help him regain his clarity of mind for a period of time, he was able to contribute his share of the effort."

"Go downstairs. Keep an eye on Tang San's side. Coordinate with Ning Fengzhi's plan regarding his hidden weapons. Starting a business and failing is normal. Young man, entering society for the first time, you need to learn to shoulder debt."

Qian Renxue finished the last piece of delicate pastry, patted her belly with satisfaction, and smiled at Ling Qianyao, "Qianyao, your skills are really good. These pastries are no worse than those of the imperial chefs in the palace. No, they are far inferior to you."

Ling Qianyao brushed the pastry crumbs from the corner of her mouth, then flicked them on her forehead and smiled. "Thank you for the compliment, but don't overpraise me. My cooking skills are just average, nothing special."

Qian Renxue smiled, propping her head up with her hand, "I wasn't bragging, anyway, none of their cooking tastes as good as yours."

Zhu Zhuqing walked out of the kitchen, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips. She teased, "Should I not disturb them while they're flirting like this, oblivious to everyone else?"

"No way," Qian Renxue said with a smile, pulling Zhu Zhuqing over and pressing her down to sit in the chair next to her. She coughed twice before speaking.

"By my decision, you will accompany me to Wuhun City in two weeks."

She winked at Ling Qianyao, "By the way, I'll take you to meet my grandfather."
