Chapter 22: Prepare Immediately
Chapter 22: Prepare Immediately
Early in the morning, Qian Renxue slowly woke up.
Last night was probably the most comfortable sleep she had ever had, and she had a wonderful dream.
In her dream, her grandfather was no longer a Shrine Bishop, her mother was not the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and her father had not been badly injured by Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect.
Her family was just an ordinary, peaceful unit.
In the dream, her grandfather made her a swing, and she sat on it, gazing at the starry sky.
Her grandfather stood behind her, gently pushing her back and forth, back and forth...
And then she woke up.
"Grandfather."
Qian Renxue murmured subconsciously, but received no response.
Looking around the unfamiliar room, Qian Renxue's mind was still groggy, until her "bed" moved slightly.
Having just been reminiscing about her dream, Qian Renxue suddenly realized that she was not at the Spirit Hall. She was in Tiandou City on an undercover mission, and she had come to Wang Si last night for cultivation.
Finally...
Qian Renxue regained her senses and became aware of her current situation.
There was no blushing, no panic, nor any anger.
Qian Renxue just lay quietly in Wang Si's embrace, feeling his heart pounding, sensing the residual solar power within him, and the warmth of his sturdy body.
The novel sensations were something Qian Renxue wanted to linger in.
......
"Just go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect later and make yourself at home there."
Xue Qinghe patted Wang Si on the shoulder, signaling for him to relax.
Wang Si gave a dry laugh.
Nervous? Impossible.
He was just a little worried: he would be staying at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for the next month.
How would Qian Renxue cultivate in his absence? He had only helped her unblock her meridians a few times, and now that he was leaving, would she be able to handle it alone?
Wang Si strongly suspected that Xue Qinghe wanted to separate them because he noticed that "Xiaoya" was becoming increasingly attached to him.
"Brother Wang, you need to look at the bigger picture. The Bone Douluo said that your future should not end here.
You should aim to match the Soul Masters at your level. I can tell that you like Xiaoya, and she likes you too.
But she's just an ordinary person......"
Wang Si looked at Xue Qinghe, who was now acting as his love guru, and rolled his eyes in exasperation.
"Have you ever been in love? And here you are, giving me advice?"
Xue Qinghe was taken aback by this remark, but then he patted Wang Si's shoulder in a knowing manner.
"I'm two years older than you, so I know more. Trust me, I'm right about this."
Wang Si was even more speechless, so he simply ignored Xue Qinghe.
By the way, when was Qian Renxue planning to replace Xue Qinghe's identity?
Because the Bone Douluo had taken him on as a disciple, Ning Fengzhi's acceptance of Xue Qinghe as his disciple had been postponed.
If Xue Qinghe were to become Ning Fengzhi's disciple, her undercover mission would become even more challenging. If Ning Fengzhi were to discover her secret, her plan would be ruined.
......
"A year later? Young Master, isn't that a bit too long? If Xue Qinghe becomes Ning Fengzhi's disciple, won't your mission become much more difficult?" The Snake Spear Douluo frowned upon hearing Qian Renxue's plan and voiced his concern.
In response to the Snake Spear Douluo's question, Qian Renxue gently shook her head.
"If the Bone Douluo hadn't taken Wang Si as his disciple, the situation might be more urgent. But now, the Bone Douluo has already accepted Wang Si.
Almost everyone knows that Wang Si is a follower of Xue Qinghe.
This indirectly means that Xue Qinghe has gained the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and one could say that Xue Qinghe is currently at the peak of his power.
During this time, there will definitely be people targeting Xue Qinghe, and there may even be one or two assassination attempts.
Since we can kill Xue Qinghe at any time, we need to remain calm and not lose our composure."
The Snake Spear Douluo nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
He asked for the Young Master's opinion not because he was unclear about the pros and cons, but because he wanted to understand the Young Master's thoughts and convey them to the Grand Bishop.
As the Snake Spear Douluo prepared to leave, Qian Renxue called out to stop him.
"As far as I'm aware, all the Title Douluos in the Wuhun Temple have obtained this cultivation method. As for their progress... it's a bit hard to say.
The underlying reason is that their skeletons have already set, making it difficult to unblock their meridians. Some of the Wuhun Temple elders want to try using medicinal assistance with the cultivation method, but I'm not sure how their progress is faring."
When he mentioned "medicinal assistance," the Snake Spear Douluo felt a bit guilty.
Initially, when he had approached those people, it was to obtain some precious herbs and their manuscripts, after all, this was something they had promised Wang Si from the beginning.
But those "smart alecks" thought that the cultivation method required herbal supplementation, and subsequently, each of them became as stingy as a miser, coming up with various excuses and refusing to part with even a little of their precious herbs.
"Are only the Title Douluos researching this now? Aren't there any attempts being made by the younger generation?"
Although he didn't understand why his young master was asking this, the Snake Spear Douluo nodded.
Qian Renxue let out a soft laugh.
"Then tell them that for the younger generation below level 20, we have a safe method to help them unblock their skeletons.
But if they want us to help their descendants in the future, they will need to pay a small price."
The Snake Spear Douluo was taken aback upon hearing Qian Renxue's words.
Currently, Wang Si, the founder, was the only one with the ability to unblock skeletons without any risk!
Was his young master planning to have Wang Si take action and receive benefits in return? Was she helping Wang Si collect these benefits?
Seeing the Snake Spear Douluo's bewildered gaze, Qian Renxue chuckled softly.
"Any Title Douluo could detect the abnormal soul power within Wang Si's body. Do you think that if he goes to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, no one will notice his abnormality?
They definitely will, or perhaps it's precisely because they noticed his abnormal soul power that the Bone Douluo accepted him as a disciple. How do you think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will treat Wang Si then? Will they try to control him?
No, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is ultimately just a merchant group. They will use a merchant's approach to extract value from Wang Si.
Aside from the value of the cultivation method itself, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will very likely discover that Wang Si is the only one capable of helping the younger generation unblock their skeletons in a short period.
Thus, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will definitely promote Wang Si's value even more, and during this process, they will undoubtedly profit handsomely from his fame.
While Wang Si may not gain huge profits, he will definitely reap substantial benefits."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue couldn't help but sigh softly.
"He is one of us from the Wuhun Temple, and we were the first to discover his value and make use of him.
But if the first substantial benefit he receives comes from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, what do you think his impression of our Wuhun Temple will be?"
Hearing his young master's analysis, the Snake Spear Douluo also came to a realization.
Indeed, their Wuhun Temple was the first to benefit, but they seemed to be so immersed in the joy of gaining profits that no one bothered to contemplate why they were benefiting in the first place.
The Snake Spear Douluo felt a twinge of shame, but then he thought that perhaps they didn't need to be so tense after all.
"Young Master, he should know your identity by now, right? And he should also be aware of your position as a Grand Elder?
Setting aside whether he dares to offend the two of you, given your current relationship, shouldn't he also..."
The Snake Spear Douluo, who had been about to say something more, suddenly fell silent as he noticed the dangerous glint that had appeared in his young master's eyes.
"Snake Spear Uncle, what were you saying about my relationship with him just now?"
Qian Renxue appraised him with a smile, to which the Snake Spear Douluo could only shake his head.
After saying that he would definitely pass on the message, he hastily took his leave.
With the Snake Spear Douluo's departure, the disguised cultivation room belonging to Wang Si fell silent.
Qian Renxue slowly got up and walked to a wall, where she sat down and took out the zither she had taken from Wang Si, gently plucking its strings.
"Stargazing and moon-viewing..."
