Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 54 Ye Xishui

After making some arrangements, Ye Xishui let the Holy Envoy lead the remaining disciples to continue their journey, while she took Qian Renxue, Xue Di, and Shen Yuanyi with her.

This made Qian Renxue curious again: what exactly was the status of this genius little fox within the Holy Spirit Cult?

She had many questions in her mind, such as: What kind of force is this Holy Spirit Cult? Is it really just a simple organization of evil soul masters? What is Ye Xishui's position in the Holy Spirit Cult? Why did she suddenly appear on the border of the empire?

However, she did not choose to voice her doubts now.

At this moment, to put it nicely, she and Xue Di were hitching a ride; to put it bluntly, they were being held hostage. Ye Xishui's oath to heaven and earth had no binding force. Even if she didn't directly attack herself and Xue Di, she could subtly have her subordinates do so.

Ye Xishui's martial soul was very unique. She used her martial soul to create a puppet and flew with the three girls, eventually arriving at a large city.

The city is called Sun and Moon City, which is the Mingdu that Qian Renxue saw on the map. It is the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Unlike any other city she had ever seen, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire had no city walls, and the low-rise bungalows on the outer edge of the city were directly exposed in the suburbs.

"Why aren't there city walls?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.

"Mingdu doesn't need city walls because no enemy army can reach the capital of the Sun Moon Empire," Ye Xishui replied, "unless it's a disguised spy sneaking in."

Qian Renxue remained noncommittal, because everything she had seen since entering the Sun Moon Empire was too shocking; it was a country that completely overturned her understanding of the world. No, to be precise, it was a completely new world.

Looking back now, she realized that the history book she had once read, which claimed that the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology was about a hundred years ahead of the original Three Kingdoms, was utter nonsense.

Only when she arrived here did she feel as if she had traveled ten thousand years into the future.

The four of them landed slowly and entered Mingdu, arriving in front of a tall building. The name of the place was written on the building's sign: Qingse Hotel.

Ye Xishui led the three girls straight inside and arrived at the service counter, where a young girl was standing behind them.

Ye Xishui casually tossed her something that looked like a token. Upon seeing it, the girl at the service desk immediately became respectful and handed Ye Xishui a room key.

"We don't need any cleaning or anything like that; we don't have any special requirements," Ye Xishui said casually.

"Yes! Yes, sir!" The girl nodded quickly. "I will inform the staff so they won't disturb you and the other ladies!"

Then, Ye Xishui, seemingly very familiar with the place, led the three girls directly into a soul-guided elevator and to the top floor. After exiting the elevator, Qian Renxue found that this place was completely different from what she had just seen; the relaxed and elegant style made her feel as if she had returned to the original Douluo Continent.

Ye Xishui swiped the door open on a sliding door, a soul-guided technique that allowed her to open the door without a key. Once the door opened, a huge room appeared before the four of them. It had a kitchen, a bathroom, an open-air balcony, and all the necessary furniture and amenities—far more luxurious than the large inn Qian Renxue had stayed at in Xingluo City.

To describe it as a large room would be more accurate to say that it's like a large family had moved in.

Shen Yuanyi was clearly familiar with the place. After entering, she immediately found a copper basin filled with water. Xue Di didn't quite understand her behavior, but Qian Renxue was very familiar with it. This was a court etiquette she had learned before. When entering the residence of a high-ranking official, outsiders were required to wash their hands and mouths.

"Have a seat." Ye Xishui entered the living room of this large room and sat down on the sofa.

The two of them followed and sat down. Xue Di was a little hesitant, but she still decided to trust Qian Renxue and the expression management she had taught her along the way.

Shen Yuanyi brought a teapot from the kitchen, poured tea for everyone, and then stood behind Ye Xishui.

"Please sit down too." Ye Xishui smiled casually. "We're not entertaining any high-ranking guests from other forces. We're all family, there's no need to be so formal."

"They're already treating us like family," Qian Renxue thought to herself.

She had considered this question along the way: what if this person named Ye Xishui wanted her to join the Holy Spirit Cult? After all, after witnessing the Little Demon's abilities, those evil soul masters practically wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her. Then Ye Xishui said that she knew about what had happened before, which was tantamount to acknowledging her status as a saintess.

But is your position as a saintess really reliable? Is it really just someone you randomly met on the street with an evil martial spirit or ability?

Ye Xishui interlaced her fingers: "I know you might have many questions. But, could I ask you a few questions first?"

Xue Di breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the question was directed at Qian Renxue, not her. "Before we begin, let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Xishui, my title is Death God, and I am currently the Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Sect."

Qian Renxue thought to herself, "No wonder he calls me Your Majesty," and then nodded, "Alright, please ask."

"Are you a twin martial soul?" Ye Xishui asked.

Qian Renxue replied, "Yes."

She doesn't need to hide her talent; anyone with eyes can see that. There's no point in pretending.

"Could you tell me what your two martial souls are?" Ye Xishui hesitated for a moment before asking.

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment: "If you were indeed aware of the situation on the battlefield beforehand, then as you can see, one of my two martial souls is the Spider Emperor martial soul that was previously exposed."

Ye Xishui nodded gently, but the answer she wanted to know was not just that.

"The other martial soul is Little Angel."

"A little angel?" Ye Xishui raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, yes, little angel." Qian Renxue nodded. "This little angel will grow as his cultivation increases and eventually become an archangel."

This was the result she had discussed with her other self while pondering the matter. Since she couldn't fake it, she might as well admit it openly. Geniuses, regardless of the era, are always sought-after by various forces because they represent a strategic investment.

Now that she's been targeted by the powerful Holy Spirit Cult, as long as she behaves obediently, she'll be safe. Although it seems to be an organization of evil spirit masters, there are little devils among them.

Ye Xishui smiled and didn't dwell on the matter: "Even in the Holy Spirit Cult, the last genius with twin martial souls was a long time ago."

"Really? That person is really amazing," Qian Renxue said casually.

"She wasn't originally a member of the Holy Spirit Cult; she was just an ordinary Soul Master. But later, due to some events, she had to part ways with the mainstream of this world." Ye Xishui lit a cigarette and took a light puff.

"...?" Qian Renxue did not respond to her words.

"Are you wondering what an evil spirit master is?" Ye Xishui noticed her confusion.

Qian Renxue nodded gently: "Why is there a distinction between good and evil among Soul Masters? Aren't we all human beings born of the same mother? What is the standard for this distinction between good and evil?"

"In the eyes of the world, evil spirit masters are not fellow human beings; they sometimes even kill each other. Most of them are identified as possessing evil, dark-attribute martial spirits at birth. Although they may not have anything special about them at the beginning, as time goes by..."

Ye Xishui briefly introduced the concepts of Evil Martial Soul and Evil Soul Master.

Qian Renxue's expression was somewhat strange: "So, according to you, the so-called evil spirit master is not determined solely by their actions, but rather solely by their background?"

This idea had actually crossed her mind before, but since she didn't know enough about the new era, her thoughts were her own, and it was obviously more convincing to hear them from a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Church.

Shen Yuanyi interjected, "Miss, do you remember that when you revealed your second martial soul, they already identified you as an evil soul master?"

Qian Renxue touched her eyes. It was indeed true. When she revealed her second martial soul, Xiao Heixue would appear, but she didn't think that her other self was an evil soul master, nor had she done anything heinous.

"Actually, many people's experiences are very similar to yours," Ye Xishui said quietly. "Their birth and their martial spirit are not something they can decide, but they are always marked with some special marks. They grow up under the gaze of discrimination from a young age. Of course, many more are purged before they even grow up."

Qian Renxue thought Ye Xishui's words made a lot of sense, but she didn't completely believe them.

She raised an eyebrow: "You must be some kind of leader in an evil spirit master organization, but isn't saying that a bit of an excuse for your actions?"
