Chapter 42: Look at what our Xue'er is capable of

~8 min read 1,418 words

Lingxu returned home without telling his parents that he had encountered an assassination attempt outside.

If he let them know, they would certainly worry.

As long as the enemy remained unclear about his true strength, it was relatively safe for him.

Was the person from the Spirit Hall Bibi Dong?

Time quickly reached the third night, and Lingxu came to the underground secret chamber once again to meet with Qian Renxue.

"Brother Lingxu, I found it!"

The moment she saw Lingxu, Qian Renxue immediately trotted over.

"Xue'er, who is this person?" Lingxu asked curiously.

He did not ask how Qian Renxue had found out; after all, Qian Renxue was a princess of the Spirit Hall and knew that the Spirit Hall had a killer organization here.

Coming to Heaven Dou City undercover, she naturally had some methods, and there was no need for Lingxu to inquire in detail.

Qian Renxue said: "The Hall Master of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall branch, Salas!"

"It is a pity that they only passed the information verbally and did not leave behind any substantial evidence."

"Brother Lingxu, have you offended Salas? Why would he kill you? Could it be that Uncle Bufan's arrival here has affected his status?"

"You must know that he is one of the only two Platinum Bishops in the Spirit Hall, with a status second only to the Pope, the Elders, and the Offering Hall. Why would he choose to assassinate you?"

After finding this information, Qian Renxue had also thought for a long time, but she could not figure out Salas's motive.

"Salas?" Lingxu was silent for a moment.

Then he said: "In this world, there was once only one person who wanted to kill me. I reckon Salas also just received an order."

"Brother Lingxu, to want to kill you and still be able to mobilize Salas, is it... is it Bibi Dong?"

Qian Renxue remembered that more than a year ago, after Bibi Dong returned, she had dragged Lingxu into a secret chamber; if it hadn't been for her grandfather Qian Daoliu arriving in time, Lingxu would have died.

And the reason Bibi Dong wanted to kill Brother Lingxu was that he was too close to her.

Qian Renxue knew that Bibi Dong was her mother, but Bibi Dong had never cared for her since she was a child, nor had she ever come to see her, let alone kept her company.

Those things aside, it was hard enough to have Brother Lingxu arrive and give her unprecedented warmth, yet she still wanted to kill Brother Lingxu.

At this moment, Qian Renxue's hatred for Bibi Dong became even more intense.

"Brother Lingxu, what should we do now? If she sends a Title Douluo, it will be very difficult for us to cope," Qian Renxue said worriedly.

Although Lingxu's parents had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and could contend with an ordinary Title Douluo for some time.

But that was only contending, and it was impossible for them to guard Lingxu's side at all times.

"No, I must tell Grandfather and ask him to send a Title Douluo to protect us," Qian Renxue said with a serious face.

"Yes, and I should also tell Grandfather about my leaving Heaven Dou! This is out of respect for Grandfather, Brother Lingxu, what do you think?" Qian Renxue said.

Lingxu said: "Xue'er, you are doing the right thing; we should indeed notify Qian Yeye."

Towards Qian Daoliu, Lingxu still felt deep gratitude.

He had accepted him and Qian Renxue, taught him many things, and saved him from Bibi Dong's hands.

Otherwise, Lingxu would have long since died at Bibi Dong's hands, consumed to become her nourishment.

"Brother Lingxu, what about Salas? Even if Uncle makes a move, he can solve Salas." Qian Renxue asked.

"Salas truly deserves to die!" Lingxu revealed a trace of killing intent, but then he withdrew it.

Because he saw that Qian Renxue seemed to be snickering.

Lingxu said: "Xue'er, what are you laughing at?"

Qian Renxue immediately shook her head and said: "Nothing, I wasn't laughing."

"Xue'er, you actually already had a way, didn't you? You were deliberately testing me?" Lingxu said.

As clever as Qian Renxue was, asking him this meant she already had a plan.

Qian Renxue said: "Hee hee, I still can't hide it from Brother Lingxu, but I wanted to know Brother Lingxu's thoughts first."

That cute appearance of hers was truly endearing.

Lingxu said seriously: "Then let me talk about how we should respond."

"We can let this Salas live for a few more years. While we are unable to deal with a Title Douluo, we will let him live, and once we have grown, we will kill him."

"The reason for keeping him is that as long as he is the one handling this matter, the strength of the people sent to kill me will not be too high, at most the Soul Saint stage."

"But if Salas is killed, who knows what kind of expert Bibi Dong will send? It is very likely to be a Title Douluo, so this Salas cannot be killed, and it is not bad to let him know that we have discovered he wants to deal with me."

Clap, clap...

After Lingxu finished speaking, Qian Renxue clapped her hands in cooperation.

"Brother Lingxu is amazing!"

"Actually, I think so too."

Lingxu laughed: "Xue'er, are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?"

Qian Renxue said: "Can I praise both?"

"However, this is not the most perfect plan."

Lingxu said: "You are thinking that we should also start from the killer organization, right?"

"Hee hee, that's right, it's starting from the killer organization," Qian Renxue said.

"I don't know to what extent you can interfere with this killer organization, Xue'er, so why don't you explain the follow-up plan?" Lingxu looked at Qian Renxue, also giving her a chance to shine.

"Okay!" Qian Renxue nodded.

"Let me first talk about this killer organization. Actually, it is a relatively secret organization of our Spirit Hall. It contains not only members of the Spirit Hall but also other individual members."

"However, no one knows that it is controlled by our Spirit Hall behind the scenes."

"This killer organization is called Moon Shadow!"

"And when I came here, Grandfather gave me the highest Moon Shadow Gold Token. There is only one in the entire Moon Shadow organization, and it is the highest status, capable of completely controlling Moon Shadow."

"Under its banner, there are also the Moon Shadow Red Order, Black Order, Purple Order, Yellow Order, and White Order."

Qian Daoliu would certainly give Qian Renxue some things that could help her clear away obstacles, but he had not expected there to be an assassin organization.

No wonder it was so easy to find out that it was Salas who wanted to kill him.

An assassin organization would not easily betray the information of its employers; this is the basic professional integrity of an assassin.

But Qian Renxue's Gold Order is the highest command of Moon Shadow, and all official members of Moon Shadow must obey the orders of the Gold Order holder.

"Brother Lingxu, if anyone accepts a mission to kill you, I will know about it, and I might even arrange for someone to take the mission so they won't actually assassinate you, or we could even manufacture an assassination accident."

"In this way, we will have complete control over the people who are assassinating you."

"That's right, even Salas doesn't know that Moon Shadow belongs to the Spirit Hall; this is one of the highest secrets, and no more than five people in the Spirit Hall know about it."

"How is it? Is the method I suggested good?" Qian Renxue smiled with a look of triumph on her face.

It had to be said that although Qian Renxue was young, she was quite shrewd and full of ideas.

With this kind of operation, Lingxu's safety could be guaranteed for the next few years.

What he feared was the day Bibi Dong lost her patience.

But this also gave Lingxu some room to develop; as long as he was given time, even a Title Douluo would never return if they came for him.

Looking at Qian Renxue, Lingxu reached out and gently flicked her nose, saying, "Look at how capable our Xue'er is. Fine, we will do as you say; my safety in the future will depend on you, Xue'er."
