Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 293 Proposal
Lin Xiao stared at the orange for a long time without saying a word.

Each step is interconnected. While it may not be the most ingenious, it is a fairly good plan and has a high chance of success.

If there were no Soul Masters in this world, people who possess power beyond that of ordinary people, Ju Zi would probably have left a very significant name on the continent.

No, despite not having great talent, she has already left an indelible mark on the history of the Sun Moon Empire.

"So, come with me," Orange said softly once again.

"If Your Highness wants to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult, can I avoid it by going to the army with you?" Lin Xiao sighed softly.

“No.” Orange shook her head. “But I can let you leave. With your strength, you can hide to the ends of the earth. If you want, they won’t be able to find you.”

Lin Xiao watched as Ju Zi remained motionless, her eyes flickering slightly, as if she were pondering something.

"What are you still hesitating about? Do you really want to risk your life for the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Lin Xiao snapped out of her daze upon hearing this, "Why not? After all, I am also an elder of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"No, I don't believe it." Orange shook her head violently. "I don't believe that the person who saved my life when everyone else abandoned me could be a true evil spirit master."

“I know, I knew from the beginning that you are different from those cold-blooded and cruel evil spirit masters.”

Lin Xiao fell silent upon hearing this, and the only sounds in the study were his and Ju Zi's breathing.

Although he knew this was Xu Tianran's study and no one else would dare to spy on what was happening here, he still checked the surrounding atmosphere after hearing what Ju Zi said.

"Where is the competition venue you've prepared?" After a long silence, Lin Xiao suddenly spoke.

"Are you going to participate in the competition?" Orange's breathing became a little rapid.

"No." Lin Xiao shook his head, looked at the orange and pondered for a moment, then stopped hiding it. "I just want to know how far the place where that competition was held is from Mingdu."

Ju Zi's gaze shifted slightly as she looked at Lin Xiao. "The exact location hasn't been decided yet, but given our wary relationship with Shrek Academy, it'll probably be near the border."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly upon hearing this, then fell into thought again.

Orange stood beside him for a long time before tentatively asking, "Are you... planning to do something?"

"I'm thinking, since the Holy Spirit Cult will be eliminated sooner or later anyway, why make the Sun Moon Empire take action themselves?"

"What came to mind?" Orange leaned a little closer.

"Since you've decided to let Shrek Academy and the Holy Spirit Cult both suffer heavy losses, why not go all the way?" Lin Xiao took a half-step back without making a sound.

"I'm thinking, Shrek Academy's attitude towards the Holy Spirit Cult goes without saying. If the Holy Spirit Cult mobilizes all its members during the competition, leaving its headquarters undefended, how will Shrek Academy react when it hears the location of the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters?"

“You…” Orange paused for a moment, then quickly understood Lin Xiao’s meaning, “If that’s really the case, Shrek Academy might be even more eager than us to hold this competition in order to completely eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult.”

"Moreover, once the personnel are dispersed, it will be easier to deal with either side... But how do you expect them to believe you if you want to leak information about the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters to Shrek Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao suddenly smiled, as if he had thought of something. "Of course they won't believe the information we leak ourselves, but if their own people investigate it, it naturally won't arouse suspicion."

Orange lowered her head slightly, seemingly pondering the feasibility of what Lin Xiao had said. After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly thought of something, "The Holy Spirit Cult has what you need, right?"

"Why do you guess that?" "Then I guessed right." Orange also smiled. "Only those who want to slack off would think about how to stir up the water."

"Then just take it as true." Lin Xiao did not deny it.

"You'll leave after you get what you want, right?"

"Does Your Highness wish to see any remaining members of the Holy Spirit Cult?" Lin Xiao countered.

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi stopped pressing the matter. "I will carefully consider your suggestion. If it is feasible, I will report it to His Highness and say that it is my idea."

As she spoke, she took another step forward, "Before that, how about we go to the military camp to take shelter for a while? That way you'll have more freedom of movement."

"Okay." Lin Xiao nodded. Even if Ju Zi didn't need to explain so much, he had no reason to refuse. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Orange opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, and just went back to her desk and sat down.

As night fell, the Holy Spirit Church stronghold was brightly lit, and the stands were packed with spectators waiting for the match to end.

"Old Eight, come quick! You almost missed the best part!"

When Ming Lei Douluo saw Lin Xiao enter the room, he hurriedly got up and waved, pointing to the platform below as he spoke.

Most of the metal tables there were empty, with only four tables still occupied by people.

"Old Eight, what do you think will happen in the match between my two disciples and Tang Si and Tang Wu?"

Lin Xiao narrowed her eyes, looking towards the platform in the distance.

The Elite Tournament elimination rounds have ended, and the Soul Master Tournament is about to enter its second stage. Tonight, the final two contestants who will represent the Xi Shui Alliance will be decided.

It must be said that although the two disciples of the Dark Thunder Douluo were indeed quite talented in soul tools, they were not at the bottom of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy.

However, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou's skills were still superior, and this competition was about making as many soul tools as possible within a specified time, and then using these soul tools in actual combat.

With the added advantage of Tang Sect's unique mechanism technology, Huo Yuhao and He Caitou's production process was somewhat simpler, and they were much faster than the other two.

Looking away, Lin Xiao shook her head. "I can't tell."

"Hey, I know what level my two disciples are at. If you don't think they're good enough, just say so. Don't worry about saving face for me." Nether Thunder Douluo waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.

"His Highness didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No, we just talked about some things that happened after the game."

What happened after the match?

“Hmm.” Lin Xiao’s expression shifted slightly as he continued, “The sect leader said before that we would join the army and act together after the competition. His Highness has only arranged my destination.”

As Lin Xiao spoke, she slowly realized what was going on. Perhaps Xu Tianran had told Zhong Liwu so many things just to avoid arousing his suspicion.

After all, with so many things assigned to the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhongliwu would naturally feel that Xu Tianran relied heavily on the Holy Spirit Cult.
