Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 142 Anyway, it's not the first time I've been kicked.

Xu Tianran frowned: "But, if that's the case..."

Qian Renxue interrupted him: "I've made myself clear enough. If Your Highness is unwilling to believe me, then I can simply find someone who does."

A chill ran through Xu Tianran's heart.

Qian Renxue was also annoyed. She had patiently explained so much to this person, and if he still stubbornly believed that he was right, then she would just let him shut up.

Xu Tianran hesitated for a moment: "Alright, whatever you say. I won't interfere in Jingyang City."

Qian Renxue's expression softened a bit: "Not only in Jingyang City, but I also need some space in the Jingyang Mountains."

Afterwards, she briefly mentioned the location selection for the new powerhouse to Xu Tianran.

"The Spirit Hall?" Xu Tianran pondered for a moment. "This name... Ah, okay, I agree!"

He saw Qian Renxue raise her teacup and thought she was about to throw the tea at him, so he quickly changed his mind.

Qian Renxue, who was about to drink tea, was stunned. Had she become so vicious in his eyes?

Well, achieving our goal is enough for now.

The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony in Jingyang City is just the beginning. Once the first wave of publicity is successful, other people will naturally become aware of this policy.

"The second thing." Qian Renxue put down her teacup.

"What else is going on?" Xu Tianran was startled.

"Don't worry, you'll definitely be interested in this second thing," Qian Renxue said. "Let me ask you a question first: what do you think of Shrek Academy?"

Xu Tianran looked at Qian Renxue with a puzzled expression, wondering what she meant by saying that.

"Just tell me directly, like your first impression, or your opinion after you understand it better," Qian Renxue said, waving her hand.

Xu Tianran hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "If I had to give my first impression, it would probably be the top academy on the mainland, with incredibly talented students and teachers."

Qian Renxue nodded, signaling him to continue.

Seeing that Qian Renxue did not interrupt him, Xu Tianran continued to share his thoughts: "But later, after I became the Crown Prince, I had a new idea."

"I heard about your desire to teach in their classroom a few months ago," Qian Renxue interrupted him.

"Because I'm just so curious," Xu Tianran said slowly. "I'm curious how they managed to cultivate so many talents, and I'm also curious how they managed to mediate between the other three empires. Although they are just an academy, what they have accomplished far exceeds the scope of an academy."

It turns out that he didn't simply want to attend the lecture, but rather wanted to uncover some secrets.

Qian Renxue nodded; this was in line with what a crown prince should consider.

"Are you curious about how they manage to have absolute authority in the eastern part of the mainland?" Qian Renxue asked.

"It must be the influence of the gods, right?" Xu Tianran replied uncertainly.

"That's certainly a factor," Qian Renxue didn't deny him, "but more importantly, it's because they've been spreading their faith across the continent for over ten thousand years. Even the three great empires can't really escape this kind of propaganda."

Xu Tianran pondered for a moment: "Inheritance? Glory?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. Even the people of the Sun Moon Empire had heard of Shrek Academy's legacy and glory, and Xu Tianran, being the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, rarely ventured into the marketplace himself.

"They've always touted themselves as the righteous forces of the continent, the defenders of justice, the guardians," Qian Renxue said. "But what righteous guardian would tolerate the Star Luo Empire constantly creating friction on the border between the Sun and Moon?" Xu Tianran snorted coldly: "Who says otherwise? Only that idiot Dai Hao, whose family's throne has been usurped, is still thinking about military merits all day long, abandoning the legacy of his ancestors. If he regains the throne, then this Crown Prince might still respect him."

Qian Renxue smiled casually and didn't respond to that question.

"So, if we want to suppress them, we need to shatter the beautiful illusion they've created." Qian Renxue tapped her fingers on the table. "This shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"You mean to expose their dirty secrets?" Xu Tianran was taken aback. "How could that be possible? Anyone who dares to speak ill of Shrek Academy is asking for death! If we spread the news, those spies will probably all die out there! They might even betray us!"

Qian Renxue patted her forehead and then tossed him a book.

Xu Tianran took the book, which was titled "Reincarnated as the Sea God, and then invincible under heaven".

"I've read this book. It doesn't directly tell the story of the sea god. Instead, it uses the identity of some silly boy who transmigrated from another world and tells a story of defying the heavens. What's wrong?" Xu Tianran asked.

"Is all you ever thinking about is how to scheme against me? Why is it so hard to ask you to scheme against Shrek Academy, like asking you to kneel down before me?" Qian Renxue couldn't hold back any longer. "People can write things, so why can't you get your writers and poets to do the same?"

"Write down all the dirty secrets you've got in the form of short stories, like how you prevent Soul Masters from awakening their Martial Souls; how you immediately label someone an evil Soul Master once they awaken a Dark Martial Soul; how you used the Star Luo Empire to start small-scale wars to obtain rare metals; how you did those despicable things to portray yourself as righteous—aren't these kinds of things a dime a dozen?" Qian Renxue slammed her hand on the table. "Conquering the continent is your wish, and this is how you prepare for your wish? Don't you even use your brain?"

Xu Tianran was a little stunned. In an instant, the atmosphere in the room changed. What was originally like two strategists discussing how to develop the country and conquer the continent suddenly turned into a teacher instructing students, and he was looked down upon once again!

"How old are you! Do I still need to teach you how to build your reputation on the mainland!" Qian Renxue's face was full of pity and anger at your lack of ambition. "When you ascend the throne, you won't need others to advise you on how to fight wars, will you?"

"I..." Xu Tianran was speechless. He did indeed intend to have that orange go to war for the empire in the future.

"Will this method really work? If the sea god sees us causing trouble in his backyard, won't he immediately punish us?" Xu Tianran said.

"If he could really unleash divine punishment directly, he wouldn't have let the Sun and Moon Continent crash into us, you little idiot," Qian Renxue said helplessly. "Bringing the Sun and Moon Continent here was just so we could conquer and brainwash them one day, and continue harvesting their faith, right? Do you want the Sun and Moon Empire to be treated like pigs?"

Qian Renxue thought to herself that although Tang San was a bit shameless, he wouldn't openly make any moves now, especially with the God of Destruction watching them.

"It seems...that makes sense." Xu Tianran suddenly realized, and then thought to herself that she really knew a lot. Although she didn't know if it was true or not, it did sound urgent.

"Although it's difficult to shatter their beautiful illusions in the short term, the truth is always the sharpest blade." Qian Renxue glanced at him. "You may leave now; I'm tired."

"Won't I be the one who's busy when we get back?" Xu Tianran couldn't help but say, seeing that Qian Renxue had become easier to talk to than before.

If Ye Xishui is the hidden Empress Dowager of the Sun Moon Empire, then Qian Renxue is undoubtedly the hidden princess. He, the crown prince in name only, has already been controlled by the princess in secret.

But he had to admit that the princess had more and bigger ideas than he did.

"I need three days to process this lesson you gave me, you idiot." Qian Renxue glanced at him. "I threw those soul tools outside. Do you want me to carry you up in your wheelchair again?"

"Otherwise what?" Xu Tianran said matter-of-factly, "I've lost my legs, my soul power has dissipated, and you even destroyed the prototype of my prosthetic limb—that was a prototype of a level nine soul tool!"

Qian Renxue rubbed her forehead, stood up, and used her soul power to open the door.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Tianran asked in astonishment.

"You naughty kid, you're asking for it." She kicked Xu Tianran out the door with a flying kick. "Get out."

At this moment, Xu Tianran's soul power had not yet recovered. In terms of physical strength due to his disability, he was only stronger than an ordinary Soul King. He was kicked away by Qian Renxue, but he sat steadily back in his original wheelchair.

His eyes darkened again, and finally he sighed.

What else can I do? It's not the first time I've been dumped.
