With just one sentence from Tang Lan, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong changed their attitude.
"This time, the place we're going to has a divine inheritance. Even if we can't obtain a divine position, we can still undergo the trial of the gods and receive the blessings of a deity, securing at least one divine-bestowed soul ring."
Gu Rong: (●—●)
Ning Fengzhi: (●—●)
There's such a good opportunity?
"The child is grown now; it's time for him to venture out," Ning Fengzhi said, his expression shifting instantly. "From now on, Rong Rong will be entrusted to you, Brother Lan."
"Anything else we need to prepare?" Gu Rong asked with concern. "Should I ask that cowardly old man to store the blood and send it to Sunset Forest?"
Goodness!
So thoughtful!
"That's not necessary," Tang Lan said with a smile. "This time, we're mainly going to participate in the trial of the gods to accelerate cultivation. Combat isn't needed for now."
For now?
Both caught the key word and were about to ask further.
At that moment, Qian Renxue arrived.
They instinctively stopped the conversation.
"Bone Crown Lower, Uncle Ning," Qian Renxue said politely. "Qinghe has some private matters to discuss with Master Tang. Shall we?"
"Then you and Qinghe can talk," Ning Fengzhi said cheerfully. "Bone Uncle, let's go check the list with Lord Niu."
Gu Rong nodded slightly, and the two left.
Qian Renxue took out a pendant and input her soul power to erect a barrier, isolating them from external observation.
She said, "Little Lan, your acting skills are impressive—you even fooled me."
She naturally meant the soul spirit.
"That's a pleasant surprise," Tang Lan responded smoothly. "The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python's tribulations were imminent, and I wasn't confident in surviving. When I went hunting for soul rings in the Star Dou Forest, I just happened to run into them, and then…"
He gestured around, leaving the meaning obvious.
"What about the territory?" Qian Renxue asked. "Why didn't you tell me at the time?"
Perhaps she felt the tone was somewhat heavy.
She added, "If you had told me, I could have tried to secure the nearby Star Dou Forest territory for you, since it was unclaimed."
This explanation made Tang Lan raise an eyebrow.
Wait a minute!
Qian Renxue was acting strangely!
Although, under Tang Lan's deliberate guidance, the 100,000-year soul bone had "bought" him over, their relationship still remained "close friends."
But the attitude Qian Renxue showed now was more like…
a grievance kept in the dark?
Or—resentment from a lack of trust?
What kind of relationship would produce such emotions?
This person…
really likes him?
Hmm.
That actually makes sense.
A prodigy like Qian Renxue, with innate soul power at level 20 and a divine-bestowed martial soul…
Her grandfather was the Grand Sacrificial Official of the Spirit Hall, a 99-level peerless Douluo of the sky.
It's extremely rare for a male to catch her attention.
But Tang Lan?
A 13-year-old Six-Ring Soul Emperor!
Qian Renxue, having neglected cultivation during her concealment, is probably only a Six-Ring Soul Emperor as well.
Younger than her, more talented, renowned in the current era, and brilliantly built Tang Sect.
With such excellence, it's hard not to generate interest.
So the question arises:
If Qian Renxue really likes me, should I accept it?
He pondered.
Yet Tang Lan's mouth didn't slow down.
"In the future, when you ascend as Emperor, Tang Sect's Spirit Tower will naturally serve you. Whether I tell you or not won't affect the outcome."
A classic Tai Chi move.
Qian Renxue didn't dwell on it and instead said—
"Since that Xue Beng intends to vie for the throne, why not find a chance to remove him? You won't have to continue undercover there."
At this, Tang Lan was completely certain: Qian Renxue really liked him.
Otherwise, why would she complicate things when his undercover work was going smoothly?
Not to mention…
the assassination of a prince—something she could even mention to him?
But recalling the "love-brain" trait of the Romance Continent, Tang Lan understood.
He pondered.
If Xue Beng were eliminated, only Qian Renxue would inherit the throne.
Then he could "report" and support a "puppet emperor," later finding a chance to let him abdicate.
On this monarchic Douluo Continent, the emperor naturally carries a "faith aura."
It can better harvest faith power.
Logic check √
Tang Lan smiled sincerely, like sunlight illuminating Qian Renxue's eyes.
"I can't involve myself in your royal matters," he first clarified, then shifted his tone—
"But that Xue Beng is indeed too immature."
"Handing the Heavenly Dou Empire to him? He wouldn't even be able to maintain it, let alone expand it."
"You, Qinghe, are more suitable—courageous, discerning, decisive. You will undoubtedly become a wise ruler of all time."
Such praise made Qian Renxue's lips curve.
"Then let's trouble Little Lan a few more days."
"I'll start arrangements once I return," Tang Lan agreed cheerfully.
He didn't mention that he would be out of contact for a year.
Qian Renxue happily lifted the barrier and walked away lightly.
She didn't even ask further about the soul spirit matter.
—Tang Lan already said, once he ascends, it's for her use.
Yes.
He didn't lie about that.
—Provided she sits securely on the throne.
If she were to step down midway, that wouldn't be his fault.
No wonder this is the Romance Continent, everyone's like this.
But if a love-brain falls for you, it's quite enjoyable.
Highly recommended!
Not far away, Zhu Zhuqing had already brought all members, lined up, waiting for Tang Lan.
"As usual, stay inside for a while."
Tang Lan placed each one into the Han Hai Soul Seal, tossing them into the Blue King.
Finally, the Ice and Snow Two Emperors.
"Both of you, has the Extreme North Spirit Tower matter been explained to Ah Tai?" Tang Lan asked.
The Snow Emperor only nodded slightly, offering no further details.
Tang Lan also added them into the Blue King.
He found Zhao Wuji.
"How is communication with the Spirit Tower in the Extreme North going?"
"The Min Hall members have already departed," Zhao Wuji replied fluently. "As planned, there will be 100,000-year soul beasts waiting at the border."
100,000-year soul beasts?
That's basically sufficient.
Still, he gave a few instructions to be safe.
"The Titan Snow Demon King has been taken care of. Although it's in the core area of the Extreme North, Titan Snow Demons now roam the Extreme North. If there's a problem, seek them."
"If Tang Sect encounters an undefeatable enemy, like the Spirit Hall sending Zhiqiang, ask Xue Qinghe for help."
"As for other careless ones, send the Old Poisoner to patrol their sects and families."
"Before the Elite Tournament, we'll try to return, but if we're late, report us as a guaranteed-entry team."
"Don't slow down your cultivation. Take more fire-element pills refined by Yang Wudi."
After confirming nothing was omitted,
Tang Lan nodded to Zhao Wuji and Wang Dali.
He then headed to Star Dou Forest, bringing along the long-awaiting Da Ming.
Transforming into a blood light, he shot across the sky and instantly arrived above Sunset Forest.
The Tang Sect members outside were particularly conspicuous.
But there was no rush to approach.
Tang Lan first released Da Ming.
"From now on, Sunset Forest is entrusted to you," Tang Lan said. "You've coordinated with Old Poisoner and the others. If there's a problem, contact them."
Da Ming nodded and began a new journey.
Tang Lan activated the Blue Silver Life Domain, seeking high-age soul beasts to fully charge the soul bones.
The goal this time was Sea God Island, so a full charge was necessary.
However, the soul beast density in Sunset Forest couldn't compare to Star Dou Forest, and the quality wasn't as good as the Extreme North.
Tang Lan estimated it would take about two days to fully charge.
He frowned slightly.
Just as he was about to notify the Tang Sect disciples outside to set up camp,
a flash of inspiration struck Tang Lan.
Got it!
