Chapter 43: Xue'er's Goal Remains Unchanged, Salas's Invitation

Being able to help Lingxu, Qian Renxue felt very happy in her heart.

After all, Lingxu had given her so much, and she always felt a bit uncomfortable if she couldn't do something in return.

Now that she could do something, she felt much better in an instant.

Lying on the chair Lingxu had brought, Qian Renxue said, "Brother Lingxu, that's great, we will be able to leave this place soon."

Lingxu nodded and said, "In the future, you will do everything using your normal identity, be yourself; no one will be able to restrict your freedom."

"Yes, but there is still some time; going back and forth at the fastest speed, I can get Grandfather's reply in about ten days," Qian Renxue said.

"Brother Lingxu, where shall we build our Lingxue Sacred Land?"

Qian Renxue closed her eyes on the chair; she was truly relaxed and had already begun to imagine the future.

Lingxu said, "These Upper Three Sects are almost all outside this Heaven Dou City, so let's build the Lingxue Sacred Land a few dozen kilometers outside Heaven Dou City."

"Outside Heaven Dou City! Why build it here?" Qian Renxue looked at Lingxu with some confusion.

"Xue'er, what is your purpose in coming here?" Lingxu asked in return.

Qian Renxue said, "That is, of course, to take the Heaven Dou Empire as my own, to obtain the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Oh! I understand, Brother Lingxu, you have this reason for building the Lingxue Sacred Land here as well, don't you?"

Lingxu nodded and continued, "By building it here, once we are strong in the future, will the Heaven Dou Empire still be able to escape from our grasp?"

"Whenever we want it, we can launch an attack at any time," Lingxu said.

Since he wanted to build his own force, Lingxu's goal was to have a force that stood above this world; having the strength to take Heaven Dou City was just the foundation.

"Good, I support Brother Lingxu; actually, I know this is also for me," Qian Renxue said happily.

Even in building a force, her Lingxu had not forgotten her goal.

Although she was about to give up her Disguise as Xue Qinghe, her goal still existed; it was just that she had switched to a better method.

"Xue'er, we haven't cultivated together for a long time; let's cultivate here in the future," Lingxu said.

"Okay, it's just like returning to those days in the past," Qian Renxue said.

Rising from the lounge chair, they sat cross-legged together and began to cultivate.

Lingxu only returned to his own room after Qian Renxue had left.

But Lingxu had barely rested for long when he heard his mother, Luo Xingyue, say, "Son, Salas wants to invite our family to dinner tonight, and he specifically requested that our whole family go together. Can you go?"

Salas's invitation?

This must be to check on my recent situation.

Lingxu said, "Mother, then let's go!"

He wanted to see what Salas was up to.

On the surface, it was an invitation for the family to eat, but in reality, it was to check on his situation.

However, Salas would definitely not make a move against him in the open; the more public it was, the safer it was.

At this time, Lingxu only needed to pretend he didn't know.

Fortunately, this Salas did not know that the assassin organization Moon Shadow was backed by the Spirit Hall, nor did he know that the current Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue.

In the morning, Luo Xingyue and Ling Bufan finished their meal and went to the Spirit Hall Branch, leaving Lingxu and the two maids behind.

"Sister Liu'er, Sister Yun'er, how has your cultivation been recently? Have you encountered any problems?" Lingxu said.

Liu'er and Huoyun'er's current cultivation speed was very fast; the Immortal Grade Herb had improved them greatly.

Although they could not compare to the talent of the Shrek Seven Devils, they could infinitely approach the talent of original characters like Huo Wu.

As long as they cultivated well, with Lingxu's help, there was still hope for them to become Title Douluo in the future.

Lingxu did not regret giving the two maids the Immortal Grade Herb at all; their original aptitude was very poor, but must one only give things to those with good talent?

Talent was secondary; it depended on who it was given to.

To those he liked, those who were pleasing to his eyes, and those loyal to him, even if they didn't have the qualifications to become a Spirit Master, Lingxu could pile them up with medicinal herbs.

Liu'er and Huoyun'er had taken care of Lingxu meticulously and sincerely since they were young; in fact, Lingxu treated them like family.

Seeing Lingxu take the initiative to ask them, Huoyun'er said, "This is all thanks to you, Young Master. If you hadn't given us the opportunity, I would never have seen hope in Spirit Master cultivation in this life."

"Especially me! Before, my cultivation speed wasn't even one-tenth of what it is now. Thank you, Young Master; I will only follow you, the Master, and the Mistress for the rest of my life," Liu'er said.

After hearing this, Huoyun'er also nodded and said, "Me too! Even if I become a Title Douluo, I will still be the Young Master's maid; that will never change."

Their words made Lingxu feel that there was nothing wrong.

At least he felt his Immortal Grade Herb hadn't been wasted.

Now, Huoyun'er's soul power had reached level 39, and Liu'er had improved to the peak of level 36.

"Young Master, are you going to Salas's place for the banquet tonight?" Liu'er asked.

Lingxu nodded and said, "Yes, you all know about it?"

Liu'er replied, "Yes, a few days ago when you weren't home, Salas came to invite us in person."

"That old guy doesn't look like a good person at all, and he even wanted us to go along."

Huoyun'er nodded and also said, "That old guy, the way he looks at us is like he wants to eat us, and I've heard him mention us to the Master several times. I suspect he has the intention of taking us from the Master."

"Young Master, do you think the Master and Mistress will give us to that Salas? After all, he is a Platinum Bishop of the Spirit Hall, with a high status and is a Spirit Douluo, we..."

Speaking of this, the two women were somewhat worried about their future.

If they were sent over, the outcome could be imagined.

Since ancient times, it has been common for nobles and powerful Spirit Master families to gift maids to each other.

In Wuhun City, they had seen plenty of this, and they had seen some maids who were sent away live miserable lives.

Although they knew Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue were different from others, it was inevitable that they might become abandoned pawns in such high-level transactions.

"Haha! You Sister Liu'er, Sister Yun'er, you are overthinking it. Rest assured, no one can take you away."

"You came to our house before I was even born, and you were only five or six years old then. We grew up together, and Mom and Dad have always treated you like their own daughters."

"Right, in a few days I will tell Mother; how about I have you two become her goddaughters?" Lingxu said.

Although they had consumed an Immortal Grade Herb and did not gain the aptitude to become gods, as long as they cultivated diligently, reaching the level of a Spirit Douluo was guaranteed, and there was a high probability of reaching the Title level; they were qualified to become Mother's goddaughters.

"This, how could this be?"

The two women wept with joy.

Lingxu waved his hand and said, "It is settled!"

"But even if you are goddaughters, you must still take good care of me! You cannot be negligent in this!"

After Lingxu finished speaking, he left with a smile, leaving behind the tearfully excited Liu'er and Huoyun'er.

In fact, Luo Xingyue had already mentioned this matter to Lingxu before.

It was just that Lingxu had not returned home recently, so the matter had not been finalized.

Of course, Luo Xingyue also wanted him to facilitate this matter so that they would have even more gratitude toward Lingxu.

Watching Lingxu leave, the two women wiped the tears from their eyes.

"Young Master, regardless of whether what you said can come to pass, we are your maids; whether in this life or the next, we are your maids, and that will never change!"

The two women swore in their hearts; their loyalty to Lingxu and the entire Ling family had long since hit the ceiling.

If the Ling family were in trouble, even if it meant sacrificing everything and their lives, they would absolutely agree without hesitation.
