In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 240 Desiring to Go to Xingluo, Those Who Play Tactics Have Dirty Hearts!!

"How did Xiao Hai suddenly become so amazing?"

"It's not that I can't beat Xiao Hai, it's just that that old poisoner is a real nuisance."

"If this continues, there's a high chance we'll capsize in a ditch."

"Then that old poisoner will seize on it and make fun of me. I can already imagine how arrogant that old devil Dugu Bo will be."

Meng Shu thought to himself.

……

After Meng Shu taught Lin Hai a set of staff techniques belonging to their Meng family, he allowed Lin Hai and the others to go out.

However, Lin Hai wasn't planning to leave as soon as he got back.

He stayed in Silves for several more days, spending quality time with his family.

Dugu Bo felt the same way; he hadn't seen his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, for a while, and he missed her quite a bit.

In addition, Lin Jiayue is a lively and active person. After Dugu Bo returned, she would go to see him all the time, which made Dugu Bo very happy.

Children are the ones you instinctively want to protect and cherish, they bring warmth to your heart.

……

The happy times were short-lived. In the end, Meng Shu was still worried and decided to go with Lin Hai this time.

Lin Hai had already given Meng Shu a general overview of the purpose and destination of this trip.

As for Yue Qinghe, Lin Qianshu, and Xiao Bao Lin Jiayue...

Lin Hai returned to Tian Dou City less than a month after leaving it.

……

The Imperial Palace of Tiandou City in the Tiandou Empire, the exclusive residence of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire.

"Heh! Didn't you just leave? Why are you back again?" Qian Renxue looked at Lin Hai with amusement, her eyes full of provocation.

After entering Qian Renxue's palace, Lin Hai, for some unknown reason, kept his eyes closed and rested.

Lin Hai opened his eyes after hearing Qian Renxue's teasing words.

"I have something I'd like to ask you!" Lin Hai said calmly.

"Oh? You've come to me for help? That's quite a rare thing!" Qian Renxue became interested.

Through events from a month ago and beyond, Qian Renxue discovered that even if Lin Hai needed her help, he would always find a way to make her ask him for a favor first, and then Lin Hai would take the opportunity to bring up his own needs.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan is the same way!

Lin Hai initially acted as if he was doing it for her own good, saying that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were stronger and would bring her more help in the Heaven Dou Empire than Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo.

Furthermore, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have followed Bibi Dong for many years and possess considerable political acumen, etc.

At that time, Lin Hai did his best to persuade her to transfer the Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo who were guarding her to Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Of course, Lin Hai didn't say anything wrong, so Qian Renxue did just that.

Later, she discovered that Lin Hai and Ju Douluo were related.

It was only then that Qian Renxue truly discovered Lin Hai's thief, the kind who remained expressionless.

As she spent more and more time with Lin Hai, she discovered that he had this kind of personality.

He's incredibly cunning. He asked others to do him a favor, but in the end, he tricked them into thinking they owed him a favor.

That's why Qian Renxue was so curious about Lin Hai's sudden change.

What circumstances could have caused him to make a change in his personality?

"I have to go out this time, but I'm worried about my family!"

"Your family? Aren't your family protected by your teacher, Dragon Staff Douluo?"

"My teacher is worried about my safety and wants to come with me," Lin Hai said, turning to face the door.

"So what are you going to do? We just got back not long ago, right?" Qian Renxue realized she had said the wrong thing.

After Lin Hai returned, he told her that he was going out for a while.

As for Lin Hai! Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, the corners of Lin Hai's mouth slowly curled up, and he thought to himself, "She's taken the bait!"

Hmph! You think Lin Hai has changed his personality?

No, no, no!

Lin Hai has simply changed his tactics; now, it's Lin Hai's showtime!

……

"Sigh!" Lin Hai sighed softly.

"Hmm?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly, puzzled. Why was she suddenly sighing?

"I had previously intended to travel to the Star Luo Empire."

"The journey is long, and we also have to worry about whether Tang Hao will launch a sneak attack along the way!"

"Wait, you said you were going out. What? You were planning to go to the Star Luo Empire?"

"This trip is intended to visit Gengxin City and the Yang family, one of the four great families."

"However, I am going there for our grand plan, and also for you!"

"For me?"

"Yes, although our alliance is quite powerful, the vast majority of our strength is hidden and cannot be exposed at the moment."

"My soul tool needs a group of people who are interested in soul tool research to work together."

"The Yang family, one of the four great families, is an expert in pharmacology and can effectively cultivate our strength."

"Furthermore, Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Yang family, is also an extremely powerful fighter!"

"Since you are going there on official business, I will have Elder Ju accompany you!" Upon hearing Lin Hai's words, Qian Renxue was initially moved.

However... perhaps because Qian Renxue had been deceived by Lin Hai so many times, she had developed some resistance and unconsciously became more vigilant.

That's why Qian Renxue took the initiative to suggest sending Chrysanthemum Douluo to help Lin Hai.

Lin Hai's eyes flickered upon hearing this.

"Has this girl finally gotten her brain?" This was Lin Hai's true thought.

However, Lin Hai was quick-witted and said, "Elder Ju is quite powerful, but his identity is too sensitive!"

"If Elder Ju accompanies me, it will hinder my operations."

That's true. Lin Hai's original plan was that only he and Dugu Bo would be needed. With Dugu Bo in Gengxin City, and given his own strength, there was nothing to worry about.

Even if it were Yang Wudi of the Yang family, Lin Hai would be safe because of Dugu Bo's reputation. Moreover, it would be very safe for Lin Hai to stay with Yang Wudi, as Yang Wudi is quite strong and can fight against a Serpent Spear Douluo as a mere Soul Douluo.

……

However, now that his teacher Meng Shu is worried about his safety and wants to get involved, his teacher's wife, Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, will definitely follow as well.

With that, the big shots of the Beast Academy have all left. Therefore, those connected to them should also leave.

After all, who can be sure what unexpected things might happen? Right? It's better to be safe than sorry.

"If that's the case, then what brings you here to ask me for something?" Qian Renxue's words returned to the main topic.

"I want to send my family to Tiandou City, and I would like to ask you to take care of them for me."

"That's it?!" Qian Renxue's dark pupils widened slightly. She had thought Lin Hai would make some other demands!

She thought Lin Hai's request was that simple, but it wasn't. He had a much deeper purpose behind it!

Lin Hai entrusted his family to Qian Renxue, and Qian Renxue was determined not to see them, although she might visit them under the guise of Xue Qinghe. However, Qian Renxue would definitely go to visit Lin Hai's family privately with Ju Douluo.

And she went there under the identity of Xue Qianren.

Lin Hai couldn't guarantee 100% on this point, but he was 80% confident.

Whether it's to maintain her relationship with Lin Hai in hopes of achieving a deeper strategic partnership, or if she has other motives, Qian Renxue is unlikely to pass up this opportunity to deepen their relationship.

"What else did you think it was?" Lin Hai retorted.

In short, not a single conversation between the two was entirely pure.

"Okay, I'll make sure they're safe."

Thank you!

"No need, it's what I should do, after all, you're doing this for our common goal."

In this way, Qian Renxue unknowingly lost a little more power to Lin Hai, and the initiative returned to Lin Hai's hands, but Qian Renxue did not realize it at the moment.

However, when it comes to taking the initiative, both of them have their own agendas, and it's not easy to tell who benefits and who suffers.

Lin Hai settled his family in Tiandou City, partly out of a desire to establish a good relationship between his family and Qian Renxue before pursuing her.

Lin Hai believed that with his mother's abilities, she could basically handle anything.

To be honest, those who play tactics have dirty hearts!

Look at this. Tsk tsk tsk!

After settling their families in, Lin Hai and his group from the Beast Academy set off in a large group.

Those traveling together this time included Lu Linhai, Dugu Bo, Meng Shu, and Chao Tianxiang. Also present were Mu Jiabao, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran.

Of course, there's also Feng Xiaotian. After learning from Lin Hai's letter that he was going on a trip, Feng Xiaotian rushed over from Shenfeng Academy, accompanied by his newly-acquainted girlfriend, Huo Wu.

"Where are we going this time?" Feng Xiaotian looked at Lin Hai with sparkling eyes. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was some kind of... well, you know!

"Can you stay away from me? If you keep doing this, I'll become suspicious too."

"Hey Lin Hai, ever since Huo Wu and I started dating, I haven't left the house in ages," Feng Xiaotian whispered to Lin Hai, afraid that if he spoke any louder, Huo Wu would hear him.

"Did you leave your vocal cords at home?" The voice was so soft that even though Lin Hai was a Soul Master and was quite close to Feng Xiaotian, he couldn't hear the whole thing.

Feng Xiaotian's face darkened.

Feng Xiaotian raised his voice and repeated it again.

After listening, Lin Hai looked at Feng Xiaotian with complicated emotions. It turned out that this two-headed husky was henpecked.

Pah! I look down on you!

The original timeline didn't say you were this kind of Feng Xiaotian!

"Head towards the Star Luo Empire!" Lin Hai said, suppressing his inner disdain.

"Star Luo Empire!"

"The Star Luo Empire is great! I've never been abroad before!" Feng Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Lin Hai felt that inviting Feng Xiaotian along might have been a bit hasty. Feng Xiaotian's behavior might negatively impact the overall image of their group!

There's a reason why Feng Xiaotian wants to travel.

After the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament ended, he returned to Winchester City's Divine Wind Academy.

As soon as I got back, I was pulled out of the mission. It wasn't anything special; I just had to stand in the square of the Divine Wind Academy and do nothing. I just had to stand there in the bright light.

He was required to do this task for 15 days in a row.

Then Huo Wu came to him, and the two officially established a relationship not long after.

Huo Wu didn't want to fall too far behind Feng Xiaotian, so she spent most of her time training and practicing with him.

Feng Xiaotian even wondered if he hadn't graduated yet. How could he, who had clearly graduated, still have to endure the hardships of student life?!

As for the others, there's no need to go into detail.

……

"Although Gengjin City is in the Star Luo Empire, it is the holy land of all blacksmiths on this continent, so Gengjin City is not far from the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire."

"In comparison, the Yang family, one of the four great families, is much further away."

"Our initial objective for this trip is to take down the Destroyer Clan!"

"The Destroyer Clan?"

"Isn't the Po clan one of the four major affiliated families of the former Haotian Sect?"

"I heard that they were really badly tricked by Tang Hao back then. Because they were implicated by the Clear Sky Sect, the Clear Sky Sect closed its doors and sects. The Spirit Hall couldn't find them, so these four families became the Spirit Hall's punching bags."

"Many members of the Po clan were killed. The younger brother of the current Po clan leader, Yang Wudi, was captured by the Spirit Hall and eventually submitted to the Spirit Hall."

"Now, only one in ten members of the Broken Clan survives." Feng Xiaotian knew some things.

"Hmph, it's all because of Tang Hao's troubles." Dugu Bo snorted coldly.

Because of this incident, he looked down on the Haotian Sect and Tang Hao.

Lin Hai: "The Po clan is quite good. Their martial soul, the Soul-Breaking Spear, is just as powerful as the Clear Sky Hammer."

"It's a pity. I don't know why they have the Soul-Breaking Spear Martial Soul. I've never heard of a Soul Master with the Soul-Breaking Spear Martial Soul breaking through to the Title Douluo level." Thinking of this, Meng Shu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

When Meng Shu was young, he was fortunate enough to witness the power of a member of the Yang family who possessed the Soul-Breaking Spear Martial Soul, and he still remembers that power to this day.

The journey was quite long; it took Lin Hai and his group more than a month to reach their destination by horse-drawn carriage.

The Yang family, one of the original groups, fled to Tianxing City in the Star Luo Empire because of the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect. This place is in the heart of the Star Luo Empire, but it is in the opposite direction from the capital city of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

Having experienced the events involving the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall, the Breaking One Group no longer trusted these so-called Upper Three Sects and the royal family. The only families they still trusted were the other three single-attribute families who had suffered alongside them back then.

Lin Hai and his group entered Tianxing City without much effort.

The Star Luo Empire is different from the Heaven Dou Empire. In order to maintain its rule, the Heaven Dou Empire has several major duchies and some smaller countries under its jurisdiction.

In the Star Luo Empire, there is only one empire, and the voice of the Star Luo Empire resonates throughout. This is why the Star Luo Empire's national strength is greater than that of the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, even though the Star Luo Empire has a strong ruling power, nobles still have considerable influence on the Douluo Continent, because strength still prevails on this continent. The reason why the Star Luo Empire is surnamed Dai is because the Dai family is strong enough.
