Chapter 15: Stealing the Nation Plan

……

The next day, following the plan she had discussed with Qian Xunji yesterday, Bibi Dong arrived at the Pope Palace to present the Tiandou infiltration plan.

Just as Bibi Dong was reporting, Qian Renxue, under the arrangements of Qian Xunji, was hiding in the shadows, peeking at Bibi Dong.

"As long as we send one person to infiltrate the Tiandou royal family, and wait for them to become a representative of the Tiandou royal family, the Spirit Hall can then openly align with the the Heaven Dou Empire and support this representative. The the Heaven Dou Empire, which is currently fractured, will naturally gravitate toward this representative," Bibi Dong said.

"Tiandou and Star Luo have been at war for years, and Tiandou has always been the one being invaded. Once the Spirit Hall controls the the Heaven Dou Empire, we can completely launch an attack on Star Luo in the name of self-defense, and the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall can also join the war with justification. In this way, the entire continent will belong to the Spirit Hall."

Qian Xunji looked hesitant. "But starting a war is a waste of money and manpower. How can the Spirit Hall do such a thing?"

Bibi Dong suppressed her nausea. "Your Holiness the Pope, the two great empires are rotten to the core, and with years of constant warfare, the common people are suffering beyond words. The unification by the Spirit Hall is the trend of the times!"

A waste of money and manpower? What a joke! She was the Saintess; did she not know?

If it weren't for the Spirit Hall constantly obstructing things from behind the scenes, with Star Luo's strength, they would have wiped out the the Heaven Dou Empire long ago! The continent would have been unified long ago!

It was just that Star Luo was martial-minded and governed the country with military force. If Star Luo were allowed to become the sole power, the current Elders of the Spirit Hall would probably all run to Star Luo to become honored guests and carve out their own fiefdoms! In the Elder Hall, apart from those honored guests who obeyed Qian Daoliu blindly, which other Elder did not have their own agenda? They had their own large families to support; if it weren't for the fact that they would die if they didn't join the Spirit Hall, they would have run off to the two great empires to become Supreme Emperors long ago.

At least half of the Elders in the Elder Hall joined the Spirit Hall out of fear! Decades ago, Qian Daoliu had almost swept the continent clean of all wandering Title Douluo. Except for those with clear sect affiliations, the rest of the Title Douluo were almost all wiped out! The current Elders of the Spirit Hall were all Spirit Saints or Spirit Douluo back then; seeing that scene, would they not panic? After breaking through to Title Douluo, they would all follow tradition and head to Wuhun City to accept the Coronation Ceremony personally hosted by the Grand Elder, which is why Title Douluo are addressed as Crown.

After the coronation, the Spirit Hall would also follow tradition and invite the Title Douluo to join.

May I ask, is it join, or is it die?

Apart from those Title Douluo with sects behind them, which Title Douluo had not been threatened by the Spirit Hall?

"Let's just forget it," Qian Xunji shook his head.

"This matter is of great importance. Tiandou City has Title Douluo, and that Xue Ye is also a Spirit Douluo. Ordinary disguises cannot deceive their eyes. Once this matter is exposed, the impact will be bad."

"I ask Your Holiness the Pope to consider it carefully for the sake of saving the millions of people in the world." Bibi Dong lowered her head to avoid letting herself fail to suppress her nausea and revealing a look that would give the game away.

Millions of people in the world?

Even the weakest Spirit Master, even if they were only a level ten-something Spirit Master, was incomparably noble in the world of ordinary people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Spirit Masters and ordinary people are two different species.

For ten thousand years, the Spirit Hall has only cared about Spirit Masters. How many countries have been born during this time, and how many dynastic changes have occurred? Has the Spirit Hall ever cared?

Even the current two great empires were established by those Spirit Masters who did not join the Spirit Hall in the past.

A Spirit Master is not necessarily a noble, but a noble must be a Spirit Master!

It is just that nobles are addicted to the good life of ruling over ordinary people; even if they don't cultivate, they still have fine clothes and gourmet food.

Just like what Nan Feng said, Spirit Masters do not engage in production, so what do they eat? What do they wear? The two great empires exploit ordinary people, which is how they obtained vast wealth.

And the Spirit Hall?

Naturally, it is by robbing the two great empires!

The wool comes from the sheep; whether it is rule by nobles or rule by the Spirit Hall, the Douluo Continent will not change in the slightest. It is nothing more than one group of bandits being driven away by another group of even more powerful bandits.

The cattle and horses remain cattle and horses.

What "millions of people in the world"—it sounds better than it is.

The nature of the Spirit Hall determines that this organization cannot possibly be for the sake of any "millions of people." This is a Spirit Master organization; it will only represent the interests of the Spirit Master class.

No person or organization can escape its class limitations, because that is their lifeline...

Damn! Bibi Dong shook her head.

Such demonic knowledge!

Where did Nan Feng learn these things?

……

"Father, that plan, can I take a look at it?"

Bibi Dong had left, and Qian Xunji did not agree directly, only saying he would consider it, while Bibi Dong, following Qian Xunji's request, acted quite enthusiastic about the matter.

Now, as Qian Xunji expected, Qian Renxue had developed an interest in this matter that her mother cared about.

"Qianxue, this matter is very dangerous; you must not get involved." Qian Xunji casually pressed the Stealing the Nation Plan document under the memorials on his desk.

"Oh..." Qian Renxue silently memorized the location of the document.

If she completed this plan, Mother would be very happy, right?...

A few days later, having taken the opportunity to get her hands on the document and finish reading it, Qian Renxue quietly ran to the Saintess Hall to find Bibi Dong.

"Later, follow what I said. Did you remember?" Nan Feng said.

Bibi Dong was somewhat reluctant, but she still nodded.

Qian Xunji required that after Qian Renxue brought this up, she should mock, strike down, and look down on her, and if necessary, release killing intent to put pressure on Qian Renxue. In this way, given Qian Renxue's personality, she would 100% strongly demand that Qian Xunji agree to let her complete this plan.

One plays the bad cop, one plays the good cop.

She would bear all the infamy to ensure that Qian Xunji's image as a loving father would not be affected in the slightest.

But Nan Feng required her to adopt a "tsundere" attitude.

She had to follow Qian Xunji's requirements to show distrust and disdain for Qian Renxue, while also subtly expressing her expectations and worries for this child.

This would satisfy Qian Xunji without completely destroying her impression in Qian Renxue's heart...

"Mother?"

After hesitating outside the door for a long time, Qian Renxue finally gathered her courage, gently pushed open the door to Bibi Dong's room, and poked her head in.

Bibi Dong opened her eyes and glanced at Qian Renxue coldly. "What are you here for again?"

"Get out!"

Seeing Bibi Dong like this, Qian Renxue seemed to have become accustomed to it and did not mind, taking out the plan document she had swiped.

"Mother, do you want to complete this plan?" Qian Renxue asked.

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly. "What do you mean?"

"If..." Qian Renxue took a deep breath.

"If I go to complete this plan, will you... will you be happy?"

Bibi Dong sneered, "Just you? You..."

Nan Feng, lying to the side with a grumpy cat face, patted Bibi Dong.

Damn it! Don't just focus on mocking and drawing aggro!

You need to kite! "..."

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, "Do you know what the situation is like in Tiandou City?"

"Do you know how treacherous the infighting within the royal family is?"

"You want to go? Do you think you have that ability?"

Qian Renxue was stunned.

Is this... concern for her? Worried that she might encounter danger?

"I do!" Qian Renxue said earnestly.

"You have nothing!" Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Renxue coldly.

"Stay honestly by your grandfather's side and don't go out and embarrass yourself."

"I can do it!" Qian Renxue became even more determined.

"You can?" Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and killing intent slowly spilled out.

Feeling this terrifying killing intent, Qian Renxue's entire body fell into a state of rigidity.

The killing intent vanished in an instant; Bibi Dong had arrived in front of Qian Renxue at some point and leaned down, "You can't even handle this little bit of killing intent, what can you do?"

"I..." Qian Renxue bit her lip, unable to refute.

She was indeed afraid! It was too terrifying!

"This matter is not child's play. If it fails, it will be a significant blow to the reputation of the Spirit Hall, not to mention your identity..." Bibi Dong sneered and turned around, facing away from Qian Renxue.

"With your meager skills, let alone going undercover, I'm afraid you wouldn't even survive once you left Wuhun City."

"That's enough, go back and find your grandfather; don't go out and embarrass yourself."

"I..." Qian Renxue's eyes turned red.

"Crying, crying, crying, all you know is how to cry!" Bibi Dong looked impatient.

"Besides crying, what else can you do?"

"I'm not crying!" Qian Renxue tilted her head back, forcing herself to hold back her tears.

"Get out!" Bibi Dong waved her hand, threw Qian Renxue out, and closed the door.

Qian Renxue, who had fallen to the ground, gritted her teeth, stood up, and wiped away her tears, "I will prove myself!"

"Get lost!"
