Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 41 Doubt

Jiang Li...

At the seat of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, a tall, middle-aged man also glanced sideways. He had a majestic and imposing figure, short, neat hair, and a calm and serious expression.

This is the younger brother of the current patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, and also the second-in-command within the clan.

—Jade Crown.

"Is this young man Dugu Bo's disciple? He's not simple; he's definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface."

He couldn't help but be sensitive, after all, the city near their sect hadn't noticed.

The banquet lasted until midnight. Regardless of whether they had achieved their goals, it was time for them to leave...

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Uncle Jian, what do you think?"

After leaving the venue, Ning Fengzhi felt increasingly uneasy, sensing something strange about Jiang Li. So, upon returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he immediately inquired about Sword Douluo's thoughts.

"In my opinion, this kid is definitely not telling the truth. We misjudged him back then, thinking he was Blue Silver Grass and not taking him seriously. Now that he has been taken as a disciple by Dugu Bo, it's too late to make a move. Also, Dugu Bo's soul power has broken through to level 94 for some reason, and he's not far from level 95. He may have encountered some kind of opportunity, and his appearance has become much younger. I can feel a similar aura from him to that old dragon. It's possible that his martial soul has evolved. Moreover, I can't feel any soul power from that kid."

Ning Fengzhi was also excited when he heard about the evolution of his martial soul. As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he knew that his family's martial soul was limited to only seven spirit rings. Every sect leader in the past wanted to evolve their martial soul. His innate spirit power was at level eight and a half. He tried countless methods and researched countless materials to evolve his martial soul. However, he was already old, and even if he could achieve the evolution of his martial soul, it would be too late. But his daughter had just awakened her martial soul two years ago, with an innate spirit power of level nine. Unfortunately, because it was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it could only be stuck at level seventy-nine. Now that there was an opportunity for martial soul evolution, he naturally thought of his daughter first.

However, Ning Fengzhi calmed down and realized that it was not feasible. After all, Dugu Bo had an eccentric personality. What if he angered Dugu Bo? Apart from the Spirit Hall, Dugu Bo was the person he feared the most because he was a team-annihilation engine. If he really angered Dugu Bo, the destruction of the sect would not be far away when he attacked.

"Uncle Bone, what about you?" Ning Fengzhi turned to ask an old man. The old man's face was withered, his muscles and skin were shriveled, and his eye sockets were sunken. His physique was not the kind of robust man with extremely bulging muscles, but his entire body frame was surprisingly large, and his clothes seemed to be completely stretched out of his bone structure.

The old man was another Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. A level 95 Defense-type Title Douluo, his title was "Bone," and his martial soul was a Bone Dragon. He was hailed as the most enigmatic existence among Title Douluos.

"This kid is not as simple as he seems. Don't be fooled by his harmless appearance. That's just an act. He's more arrogant than anyone else and refuses to be subservient to anyone or join any faction. Now that he has Dugu Bo as his backer and has also obtained an opportunity, Fengzhi, what do you think? Should we take him?" Gu Rong gestured to his neck with his hand after saying the last sentence.

"No need, Uncle Bone. We should try to befriend them as much as possible, and avoid provoking them. It's their business if they get the opportunity; our sect can't afford the consequences," Ning Fengzhi said, rubbing his temples.

"That's right, old bones, stop thinking about solving this and that all the time. If you really can't handle it, I'll spar with you," Sword Douluo said.

"What, you coward? You think I'm afraid of you? Fine, let's practice!" Bone Douluo said angrily.

Seeing the two arguing, Ning Fengzhi rubbed his temples and said, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, please stop arguing."

Ning Fengzhi felt helpless; his two uncles were always bickering, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Hmph, give Feng Zhi some face, it's not that I'm afraid of you, you coward!" Bone Douluo said, taking the opportunity to back down.

The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

Xue Qinghe, or rather Qian Renxue, also sensed something was wrong. After returning to the Crown Prince's residence, she reviewed Jiang Li's intelligence again and spoke to the Serpent Spear Douluo sent by Qian Daoliu to protect her.

"Uncle She, that woman shouldn't know anything about him, right?"

"Young Master, this boy has not been to the Spirit Hall since graduation, so the Spirit Hall has not updated his information recently."

"Interesting. His appearance a few days ago is completely different from his current appearance. He must have obtained some kind of opportunity, otherwise there would be no way for him to change so much. Moreover, there is no fluctuation of soul power on his body. Ordinary opportunities would never make him look like this."

"Young Master, shall we?" Serpent Spear Douluo asked, making a throat-cutting gesture as he spoke.

"No need, I want to capture him myself. It would be best if such a talent could be used by me, but if not, I'll just kill him. After all, a genius who hasn't risen to prominence is nothing. And since he wants to hide, let him hide," Qian Renxue said.

Serpent Spear Douluo didn't say anything upon hearing this, after all, he was only sent by Qian Daoliu to protect Qian Renxue's safety, and everything had to be arranged by Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue then returned to the secret room, revealing her true appearance.

Qian Renxue was extremely beautiful. Her original male image had been transformed into a woman. She looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, with skin as white as snow, a straight nose, and slightly slender phoenix eyes. She possessed a stunningly beautiful face with a touch of majesty.

She wore a long, golden palace dress, a one-piece garment seemingly woven from gold thread, without excessive embellishment, its style simple yet elegant. A golden stand-up collar protected her long, slender, white neck, and her long, golden hair was casually draped down her back, uncombed. This contrasted sharply with her impeccably tailored palace attire.

Because her father was the previous Pope Qian Xunji and her mother was the current Pope Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue can be said to have inherited her parents' genes very well.

Qian Renxue stared at herself in the mirror for a moment, then sighed, "I didn't realize I've grown so much."

She was only nine years old when Qian Xunji died, and Bibi Dong sent her to the Tian Dou Empire to complete the mission that Qian Xunji had been putting off—to infiltrate the Tian Dou Empire.

Because she had longed for maternal love since childhood, she accepted the task without hesitation when Bibi Dong told her about it.

After arriving in the Heavenly Dou Empire, she began to observe her targets and finally chose Xue Qinghe.

The eldest prince, Xue Luochuan, lacked talent in cultivation, but possessed great talent in politics.

The Third Prince, Xue Haicang, possessed exceptional talent for cultivation and, having no interest in court affairs, chose to join the army.

Xue Qinghe was unremarkable in every way, but he was kind to people. Moreover, Qian Renxue was not much older than Xue Qinghe, so she replaced Xue Qinghe.

She first pretended to be a refugee to approach Xue Qinghe, and then observed Xue Qinghe's living habits for the next six months. After she had thoroughly figured out Xue Qinghe, she made her move against him at the Royal Hunting Grounds.

After being replaced by Xue Qinghe, she spent another two years dealing with the First Prince and the Third Prince.

Later, due to his good performance, and with only Xue Qinghe and the young Xue Beng remaining, Emperor Xue Ye made Xue Qinghe the crown prince.

After learning of the deaths of his eldest and third brothers, Xue Beng was afraid of being wiped out by Xue Qinghe, so he sought refuge with Prince Xue Xing. Prince Xue Xing ordered Xue Beng to act like a playboy, which Xue Beng did. Qian Renxue thought Xue Beng was terrified when she saw him acting like a playboy, but she felt that a playboy was not a threat and simply ignored him.

Qian Renxue is now fifteen years old, the most beautiful age, but she is living under someone else's identity.

"Sigh, I hope you can give me a surprise."

Then Qian Renxue transformed back into Xue Qinghe.

……

Jiang Li was unaware of these matters, and even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. After all, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was a natural cover, the most useless Martial Soul on the continent. Even if his appearance changed, no one would think it was a change in his talent.

P.S.: This part was too difficult to write, I had writer's block and it was really painful. I'll still only update twice a day, maybe tomorrow. Once this part of the plot is over, things will go much smoother from here on out.
