Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Qian Renxue stood up and stepped forward, taking out a harp from her spatial soul tool, indicating that she could provide accompaniment, and the two readily agreed.

"Brother Shui~" the girls sang a lullaby, but Yin Jin nudged Qian Shui and asked, "Is that really your sister?"

Looking at Qian Renxue, Yin Jin genuinely inquired about her from Qian Shui.

"I guess so..."

Although she didn't want to admit it, Qian Renxue's identity was not something she could easily confuse, otherwise she would be in deep trouble, so she might as well just admit it.

"Then tell me about it!"

Yin Jin raised his eyebrows, his expression becoming increasingly lewd, revealing an expression that any man would understand.

Qian Shui was stunned by these words and fell silent, unconsciously tightening her grip on the cup.

He didn't reply to Yin Jin, but stared intently at Qian Renxue, who was focused on plucking the strings, his brows furrowing even deeper.

Meanwhile, it was the end of the girls' part, and Chen Sha became nervous. This wasn't just singing!

"What the heart desires, it carries away with the wind."

Feng Jingyi looked at Qian Shui, at his face, but his gaze was on someone else.

"In the name of love, are you willing?"

When the song ended, Qianshui came to his senses and led the applause.

"Excuse me, I'll be right back..."

After Feng Jingyi finished singing, she hurriedly ran out, and at least some people were completely unaware of what was happening.

"Xiao Shui, aren't you going to go take a look?" Chen Sha reminded her.

"Me? Go to the bathroom... It's not appropriate for me to go..." Qian Shui assumed that Feng Jingyi had drunk too much.

"Sigh..." Chen Sha sighed softly. She could even see the tears Feng Jingyi shed when she ran out, but Qian Shui, with her strong perception, didn't notice them at all. Now, she was helpless.

Feng Jingyi's actions were all observed by Qian Renxue. 'Follow your heart's desires? Follow the wind? Are you willing?' And what about the 'still'? Is she confessing to Xiaoshui?

The little angel clenched her fists again, but this time it wasn't because of Qian Shui, though she didn't quite understand why.

Chapter 88 Time and Strategy

What am I so resentful about? Isn't it what I've always wanted for her to be with Xiao Shui?

He's suffering so much, he deserves someone to take care of him. As long as Xiao Shui is happy, that's enough.

But why was I unmoved when she confessed her feelings? Qian Renxue, what else could you do if it wasn't her? You would still be in the Heavenly Dou Empire, perhaps for more than ten years, perhaps for a lifetime. As long as you tell him, he will definitely be there, but do you intend to use Xue Qinghe's identity to bind him for the rest of your life?

This is not fair! He deserves a life of glory and triumph, not to be stuck here with me doing these underhanded things.

So wouldn't it be better to just let it go with the wind?

I should be offering my blessings, so why this resentment?

Qian Renxue didn't understand. No one had ever told her what this complicated feeling in her heart was; she simply wanted someone to be better.

Whether it's clothing or accessories, as long as he likes it, these little things are simple; just satisfy him.

Taking small sips of her drink, Qian Renxue was lost in thought.

Some people, however, remained oblivious. "Look, even if you return to Wuhun City, you might not have another chance. This is my advice for your future cultivation."

Putting aside other things, Qian Shui is good at theoretical discussions, so he gave his teammates some constructive suggestions on their training, but without any specific plans.

"As for spirit rings, I only offer suggestions. As for cultivation, remember, it's about cultivating both body and spirit. That is, you must cultivate both your physical body and your mental spirit together."

I don't have any concrete evidence to prove anything right now, but you should have all felt the benefits of physical and mental cultivation over the years.

Everyone agrees on this point.

Unfortunately, his schedule is almost completely booked for the next few years, making it difficult for him to pay attention to his teammates.

"Yin Jin, for treatment you can try to find the Ye family of the Nine-Star Begonia. They might be of some help to you."

Yu Zhou, please pass on Sister Sasha's message. If you stay in Wuhun City, you'll probably have a bright future. I won't go into details.

Regarding Ruoyou, don't be too obsessed with extreme speed. The power of lightning is incredible, and studying these things will greatly benefit you.

"Ling Yunzhi, you must not venture deep into the far north. The Ice Jade Scorpion clan is not to be trifled with."

"Brother Shui, I may not be good with words, but I appreciate your kindness. I won't thank you with words. If you ever need my help in the future, I'll go through fire and water for you. Just let me know!"

"Come on, you'd better have the ability to do it if you wanted to!"

"Do we have to be so realistic?!"

After everything was finally explained, the group set off, sending Feng Jingyi her share before leaving.

Tian Dou City is not a modern metropolis filled with cameras and equipped with a surveillance system. Such a place is untraceable to strong individuals, so these teammates were easily taken away.

As dawn approached, only the two of them remained.

Without saying much, they simply began their habitual discussion about what to do next.

"Xiao Shui, aren't we being too soft-hearted? Ning Fengzhi has already made the most ruthless decision. Are we really not going to let them leave anything behind?"

Qian Renxue still felt an overwhelming rage when she thought about Qian Shui's plan, and an uncontrollable urge to kill Ning Fengzhi and the others who had conspired with him.

"You don't think that killing them is considered revenge, do you?"

"Shouldn't we? If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll definitely..."

Do you think they'll have another chance?

When I first arrived in Tiandou City, I told you: treat them to meals! Eat with them! Accept them as your dogs! That's what real tactics are!

Anyone can kill. But what use are their lives to me? Does it make me look powerful and imposing? Can I earn a penny or even eat them?

We have a complete grasp of their plan, and it won't even cause me any harm. Are you so angry that you want to slaughter their entire clan to vent your hatred?

Then he obtained some property and some soul bones?

Isn't this taking too little?

That's petty!

"Isn't that right? Even if we don't kill them all, leaving one of the Sword Bones alive, besides Dugu Bo, will at least hurt him!"

"Xiaoxue, remember this: killing is a last resort. Whether it's an enemy or a friend, a person is far more useful alive than dead."

"But they want to kill you!!!"

Qian Renxue's eyes turned red. In her mind, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth was the only right and satisfying thing to do.

But Qian Shui, who understands the modern financial system, knows very well that people are most useless when they die. The best thing is that you work for me your whole life, are grateful, and in the end, you have to thank me for giving you a job.

'Douluo Continent doesn't have Marxist philosophy; these people are even more despicable than those Westerners!'

"Hmph, that's actually the thing I'm least worried about."

Kill me? They'll have to dare to kill me in the near future!

Knowing this, it's no longer within our scope of consideration. I only need to think about how to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the most profitable thing!

If I kill them, how can I use them?

In the Heavenly Dou, you need the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to act as a front man. Only a second-best support sect in the world with two Title Douluos is worth using!

They are not as rigid as the Yu family, nor are they as fearful and aimless as the Haotian Sect!

A group of intelligent and prestigious support characters, though limited in their abilities, are incredibly useful!

As he spoke, he presented his follow-up plan.

"This is my initial plan. I will force the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to pay 20 million every year, ostensibly as money to buy the lives of the Spirit Hall."

I will have him transfer the money to Salas.

According to Ning Fengzhi, the Spirit Hall would use this money to invest in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's business. The funds he allocated each year would become new investments, depending on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's actual performance in those years.

From Ning Fengzhi's perspective, this was equivalent to the money changing hands and returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He had never paid this money, so it was impossible for him to refuse.

Ultimately, this money will actually end up in your hands, and you will have actual control over the direction of the investment.

For us, it meant using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's money to develop ourselves, making a huge profit.

Never be a miser. For you, the gold soul coins you spend are the only useful things; otherwise, they're just a pile of bricks, completely useless.

I've already given you a preliminary design for specific investment directions. You can proceed according to the actual situation, but you absolutely cannot invest in anything directly related to the Spirit Hall, as it's too easy for others to see through it.

It's not a big deal if people can see it, the key issue is the subsequent impact and the high cost!

Pay special attention to your mother; she's prone to making rash decisions. You can listen to her normal instructions, but ignore anything else that doesn't align with the final strategic plan. Anyway, there's nothing she can do about it.

Ignoring someone's evaluation of Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue looked at the report and was greatly shocked. It seemed that no one had lost out, and in fact, everyone had gained.

But in reality, only the Spirit Hall side, or rather, Qian Renxue's faction, fully benefited.

"Whether they are going to kill me or not is not important at all. I would not kill a few people to establish my authority just because I know these things."

The important thing is that we know all their cards, and we can control them.

Why not maximize profits?

In Ning Fengzhi's and his group's ingrained belief, killing is effective, but they also need to actually be able to kill me.

Killing a titled member is easy, but have you considered the consequences? Could it completely push the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the opposite side with no room for maneuver?

Do you really expect to subdue an established sect by force, to coerce them into becoming your dogs?

Aren't you afraid this dog will turn on you? It's easier to just kill them all.

Honestly, I don't have the right to control my own destiny yet, but what happens after my account is banned?

My second martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. To put it bluntly, I don't want to lose any of my property. Do you understand now?

"not understand!"

Despite all the grand principles and advice given, Qian Renxue simply took Qian Shui's soft heart as evidence that Qian Shui was being overly kind.

It was precisely because they shared the same lineage that they showed mercy, unlike the plan to wipe out Dugu Bo and his group without hesitation.

"Sigh, let me give you an inappropriate example!" Qian Shui said helplessly. What exactly constitutes "black"? Is it killing someone?

He felt that the one who had wronged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was truly wicked, playing tactics with a dirty heart, and killing someone was really just a matter of one strike.
