Douluo: Reincarnated in Danheng, a Unique Journey of Pioneering

Chapter 201: Persimmons are too weak to be pinched
Inside the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"His Majesty."

A person dressed in black robes arrived at the place where Qian Renxue usually handled government affairs.

The thick hood and mask completely concealed the person's appearance. Qian Renxue, who was handling government affairs at the time, waved her hand to signal the attendants in the room to leave.

Since becoming the Heavenly Emperor, she has had even less time for cultivation.

Although many things could be handled by the Spirit Hall, she couldn't just shirk her responsibilities all at once.

Moreover, how much responsibility to shirk, to whom to hand it over, and how to secretly move the people from the Spirit Hall to their respective positions without arousing suspicion—these troublesome matters were far more numerous than when she was still the Crown Prince!
"What did Grandpa say?"

After the attendant left, the newcomer removed his disguise and revealed himself to be She Long.

When the throne changed hands, nothing unexpected happened, so the Spirit Hall retainers that Qian Daoliu entrusted to Qian Renxue were not needed at all.

However, after Qian Renxue took over, some of her actions that favored the Spirit Hall inevitably aroused Ning Fengzhi's suspicion.

At that time, she had only recently taken over the Heavenly Dou Empire, so she temporarily feigned compliance with Ning Fengzhi and used some excuses to gloss over the matter.

But Ning Fengzhi was clearly not so easily fooled, and recently, his suspicions seemed to have resurfaced.

Things are different now. In the current Heaven Dou Empire, the high-ranking officials are all from the Spirit Hall. If there is anything else to deal with, it is to control the kingdoms that are far from the imperial city.

So this time, she didn't want to keep it a secret from her "teacher" anymore.

It just so happens that I heard that Bibi Dong, that crazy woman, seems to be itching for a fight lately. After defeating the Star Luo Empire, she's rubbing her hands together, eager to start showing the Spirit Hall's fangs to the continent.

So let's take this opportunity to eliminate the hidden danger that is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
At least for now, she still has some trust from Ning Fengzhi.

The disguise skills of the Angel Soul Bone are not something that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can see through!
"The High Priest said that Miss should be patient for now. If we are to take action against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, we must annihilate it in one fell swoop and leave no future troubles!"

"This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided in a short time. Moreover, it seems that the Pope intends to take action against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect first."

She Long recounted everything he had learned during his return to the Spirit Hall, and he also knew that Qian Renxue had not had an easy time during this period.

He had to deal with the affairs of the empire, deal with Ning Fengzhi, and wait for the Spirit Hall to take action.

Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi and the others were unaware that the Angel Soul Bone possessed such a miraculous disguise ability. Coupled with Qian Renxue's excellent acting skills, Ning Fengzhi still trusted Qian Renxue to some extent.

"It's normal to pick on the weakest link when attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan."

Qian Renxue wasn't surprised by what She Long said.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, along with Ning Fengzhi's assistance, are indeed not easy to deal with.

As for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, apart from that old dragon who can still jump around a bit, one or two newly promoted Title Douluos are enough for the others.

Pick the softest persimmons first, there's no problem.

However, this means she'll have to argue with Ning Fengzhi for a while, which is a bit annoying.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Tutor has arrived."

Just then, the voice of a servant came from outside the room.

She Long quietly left through the secret passage. Qian Renxue sighed helplessly. For the sake of the Spirit Hall, she would just have to endure it a little longer.

Once she fully controls the Heavenly Dou Empire, frankly speaking, her role as emperor won't be that important anymore.

When the time comes, we can just leave everything to the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong; hasn't she always been thinking about it?

Anyway, by then everyone here was one of us, so we could just find someone to fill our spot and not show their face.
Ordinary people are hardly qualified to meet the mighty Emperor of Tiandou. She can simply come back to deal with it when needed.

After composing herself, Qian Renxue finally greeted Ning Fengzhi.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." "Teacher, look at you again."

"Oh? Your Majesties have also arrived. Please sit down and let's talk."

Surprisingly, Chen Xin and Gu Rong both came along this time.

Normally, Ning Fengzhi only has one person accompanying him when he goes out. Today, both of them came. Could it be that they have ulterior motives?

However, this was nothing to Qian Renxue. Even two Title Douluos couldn't see through the disguise skill of the Angel Soul Bone.

The group took their seats. Chen Xin and Gu Rong sat silently to the side, their gazes occasionally sweeping over Qian Renxue as if they were observing her.

"Qinghe, it's been quite some time since you ascended the throne. Has the situation within the empire stabilized by now?"

"Yes, it's basically stabilized."

Qian Renxue nodded, wondering in her heart what Ning Fengzhi's next question would be.

In fact, this was the third time Ning Fengzhi had come to her regarding important matters since she inherited the throne.

The first two times, one was shortly after she ascended the throne, when she needed to deal with a minister who had always been loyal to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

However, on that occasion, she had prepared a list of charges against the minister that were unforgivable under any circumstances, so Ning Fengzhi could not interfere.

The second time was when she aligned herself with the Spirit Hall in terms of policy, which drew admonition from Ning Fengzhi.

At that time, she used the excuse of the change of the throne and the unstable domestic situation, coupled with the fact that the Spirit Hall had repelled the Star Luo Empire on their behalf under the guise of mediation, to gloss over the matter.

Since that incident, Ning Fengzhi has harbored suspicions about her.

"Now that things are stable, can we take back those border areas of the Empire from the Spirit Hall?"

As Ning Fengzhi spoke, his eyes were fixed on Qian Renxue's face, wanting to see her reaction. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also turned their gazes over.

However, Qian Renxue did not show any expression, but just stared at Ning Fengzhi expectantly, waiting for Ning Fengzhi to continue.

"Personally, I think that although the Spirit Hall defeated the Star Luo Empire on behalf of Heaven, their strong presence on the border between the two countries reveals their ambitions."

"Your Majesty may wish to use the strategy of driving one tiger to devour another, but you must also guard against the tiger turning on you and harming yourself."

After listening, Qian Renxue took a deep breath and then feigned sudden realization:

"Thanks to your guidance, Master, Qinghe understands now. I will communicate with the Spirit Hall as soon as possible to reclaim that border area."

Upon hearing this, a hint of relief flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

Fortunately, the advice given during this period was not in vain. Xue Qinghe finally went from making excuses to facing the problem squarely and trying to solve it.

Although Xue Qinghe's attitude was very tough on some matters, it was normal for an emperor.

After leaving the palace, Ning Fengzhi turned to Chen Xin and Gu Rong and asked:

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, what do you think?"

Listening to both sides leads to clarity; what one sees is always different from what an observer sees.

Only by combining the two can we discover some hidden details.

"Well, if I had to say, it's normal."

"However, it's both normal and somewhat abnormal."
