The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 143 The Disappointed Qian Renxue

Qian Renxue had already instructed her subordinates to take good care of Yu Xiaogang as soon as she received the information.

Now that all of this has been confirmed, she certainly cannot allow this person who has disgraced her father to live.

Even if Bibi Dong tries to stop her, it won't work.

"Young Master, His Holiness the Pope's decree is to rescue Yu Xiaogang, and we are just following the rules." Chrysanthemum Douluo was somewhat frantic; the thing he least wanted to see had still happened.

"Elder Yueguan, you can go back now and tell Bibi Dong that Yu Xiaogang's crime of openly murdering citizens of Tiandou is unforgivable. He will be publicly executed in the streets in three days."

Qian Renxue calmed herself down, but there was still an unmelting ice on her face.

"Young Master, why are you making things difficult for us?" Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

He'll be beheaded in three days. After delivering the message, he'll probably only be able to bring Bibi Dong back to collect Yu Xiaogang's body. And given Bibi Dong's personality, if something like this happens, wouldn't she take her anger out on him and the old ghost?

"I'm not making things difficult for you, I'm making things difficult for Bibi Dong."

"Uncle She, Ci Xue, you two protect Yu Xiaogang closely and make sure he doesn't escape from prison." Qian Renxue jumped up from the sofa and left the room without looking back: "I want Bibi Dong to see Yu Xiaogang's head with her own eyes."

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged a glance and felt a chill run down their spines.

Seeing Qian Renxue leave the room, the two turned to look at Serpent Spear Douluo and Blood Thorn Douluo: "Serpent Spear, Blood Thorn, what do you have to say?"

"What do you mean, how do you say it? This is up to you to decide. The two of us are no match for you and Old Ghost, how can we protect Yu Xiaogang?"

Serpent Spear and Bloodthorn remained unmoved by Chrysanthemum Douluo's question, continuing to drink their tea as if they were minding their own business.

Chrysanthemum Douluo remained silent for a moment, then took out two jet-black cards inlaid with gems from his soul tool and placed them on the table: "There are 20 million gold soul coins in here. I will advance the remaining 10 million from the Holy Temple and have someone deliver it later. I will make up the difference when I return to Spirit City after this matter is over."

"Aren't you really going to consider the young master?" Serpent Spear Douluo sighed, looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo with a complicated expression.

"She Long, in this world, it's always been the case that whoever is stronger is right."

Chrysanthemum Douluo snorted and tossed the chrysanthemum in his hand onto the table: "We all know that our young master has great talent, but she is still far too weak compared to His Holiness the Pope. And in a world like this, the weak have no right to be willful."

"But you'll offend the young master to death by doing this," the Serpent Spear Douluo sighed. "The fledgling eagle will one day soar into the sky, and at that time she will grow into a ruthless hunter."

"She Long, we don't need your pity," Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled. "Besides, the fact that you two didn't stop us means you've implicitly agreed to support His Holiness the Pope, doesn't it?"

"We two are different from you. We're just trying to prevent the young master and His Majesty from getting too estranged." Serpent Spear Douluo shook his head with a smile. "Besides, even if the young master kills Yu Xiaogang, I don't think the Pope will blame her for anything."

"Heh, stop with the high-sounding words."

In the dormitory of the Royal Academy of Tiandu, Li Xun is doing his daily morning exercise.

Aunt Xue gave a symbolic knock on the door: "Young Master, our people have sent word that Yu Xiaogang and the other two have been taken out of prison by the Spirit Hall."

"Under what pretext did the Spirit Hall use to get them out?" Li Xun wasn't surprised. He slowly got up, walked to the table, and drank a glass of water.

He had anticipated this outcome. If Bibi Dong didn't save Yu Xiaogang, he would have found a way to get the master out of there himself.

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "The Spirit Hall forcibly took Yu Xiaogang away under the pretext that honorary elders can only be judged by the Spirit Hall."

"I thought they were going to break me out of prison. Oh well, with something this big happening, I should go and comfort my poor senior brother."

Li Xun thought for a moment, then fell silent: "No, right now our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the victim. I have to go and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to uphold justice."

"Aunt Xue, you still need to send some people to keep an eye on Yu Xiaogang and his group's movements."

Aunt Xue thought for a moment and said, "By the way, young master, although Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng have been pretending to be ignorant, they have been making some moves recently. Should we send more people?"

Li Xun calmly put on his coat: "No need, I should be ready to go around the same time after I finish meeting Xue Qinghe and the others."

Xue Qinghe's residence.

Upon learning that Yu Xiaogang had been taken away by the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue swept everything off the table.

"Why did even you betray me?" Qian Renxue was angry, but also a little sad. She curled up in a ball, holding her head, and quietly nestled in the chair.

In the past two months, she has fallen from grace.

The last time she experienced something like this was when she was young, when Bibi Dong would occasionally show her malice.

Qian Renxue had thought that as she grew older and gained more power, this feeling would gradually dissipate. Unexpectedly, in recent times, the confidence and sharpness she had accumulated were repeatedly shattered by Bibi Dong.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Even her grandfather, who had always loved her deeply, began to subtly decline his support for her decision.

Serpent Spear Douluo knocked on the door: "Young Master, it's not that we don't want to help you, but we can't withstand the dual static domains of Yue Guan and Old Ghost."

After waiting for a long time without receiving any response from Qian Renxue, Serpent Spear Douluo and Blood Thorn Douluo exchanged a glance and sighed.

They had practically watched Qian Renxue grow up, and had even come to the Heavenly Dou Empire together to protect her for so many years. To say they had no feelings for each other would be a lie.

However, as the Pope, if Bibi Dong makes decisions that conflict with Qian Renxue's, they truly cannot act on emotion. This is also a way for them to protect Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue slumped quietly in the chair, ignoring the concerned words outside the door, and gradually let her mind wander.

Her experiences made her realize that the strength she was so proud of was built on the backs of others.

If he doesn't follow the wishes of Bibi Dong or Qian Daoliu, this power could disappear at any time.

Qian Renxue stared blankly at her hands.

She now loathed her own weakness, unable even to wash away her father's shame. Even if she seized the Heaven Dou Empire, what good would it do? Without any backing, wouldn't she be completely at Bibi Dong's mercy?

The thought of Bibi Dong filled Qian Renxue with utter disgust.

The words the other person said when I was a child, that I shouldn't have been born, have always lingered in my mind.

"Your Highness, people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have arrived." Just as Qian Renxue was feeling dejected, a soft knock on the door broke her reverie.

Qian Renxue suddenly looked up, as if she had thought of something, and her eyes gradually lit up.

"Let him in."
