Chapter 83: Persuading the Granddaughter: The Grand Elder's Persuasion Letter
As a Level 3 urgent letter, Qian Renxue certainly couldn't take it lightly.
She carefully opened the envelope and began to browse the contents.
However, after reading it, she couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
The content of this letter seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill, making her feel both amused and helpless.
The Grand Elder's letter was written like this:
My good granddaughter, how have you been lately? Have you missed Grandpa?
Grandpa misses you very much.
This time Grandpa is writing to you to persuade you to return to the Spirit Hall quickly.
Before, you lurked in the Heaven Dou Empire wanting to achieve something for Bibi Dong to see, because Bibi Dong has always looked down on you. I understand that you did this to make her look at you differently.
I disagreed with this plan from the beginning.
But because I know your stubbornness too well, I had to let you be.
But the current situation is already very different from the beginning.
Even if you succeed now, so what? The Heaven Dou Empire is already a mess full of holes, and even without us taking action, it is walking towards the edge of collapse itself.
Even if you achieve great success, you cannot change Bibi Dong's view of you.
And do you know how powerful the Spirit Hall is now?
We have Spirit Cultivation Towers, rich auxiliary cultivation resources, and various material reserves.
You have delayed your cultivation for these years, and Grandpa feels it can't go on like this.
Returning to the Spirit Hall, you can get the best cultivation conditions without wasting your talent.
With your innate level 20 spirit power, plus the Spirit Cultivation Tower, you can soon cultivate to Titled Douluo.
So, Grandpa hopes you can seriously consider it, let go of your obsession, and return to the Spirit Hall.
This time Grandpa is writing to tell you a very important thing, and that is our family's Angel God inheritance.
This inheritance represents our family's honor and history; it is our pride and responsibility.
This inheritance needs you to inherit it, because you are the descendant with the most talent and strength in our family.
Compared to other things, inheriting this inheritance is more important than anything else.
When you become the Angel God, Bibi Dong and everyone else will look at you with new eyes.
By the way, that stinky brat Jerry has set up six exclusive cultivation rooms in Chrysanthemum Douluo's house, not the outside single-attribute cultivation towers. The five of them, master and disciples, and Ghost Douluo hide inside to cultivate every day.
A few days ago, taking advantage of their absence, I secretly went to see.
The cultivation rooms are specially customized according to each of their attributes, and they can be adjusted. As long as you can withstand the pressure of spirit power concentration, you can not only improve physical strength but also increase cultivation speed by up to 200 times.
The publicly available cultivation tower only has 10 times, and people fight over it. If his 200-times cultivation speed room were made public, people would probably fight to the death.
When the time comes, I must make him build one in the Elder Hall. Now those elders go to the Spirit Cultivation Tower every day. One or two are short-sighted, and they even made a scene here to grab a cultivation room for their juniors.
When you return and cultivate in this exclusive cultivation room, with your talent, in at most five years, you can start accepting the God Trial.
And this brat Jerry has been researching spirit rings lately and has already made a major breakthrough.
I saw that the first two spirit rings of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are already thousand-year ones. They thought I couldn't see it and were hiding it.
That's why I want you to come back quickly. You haven't reached level 70 yet. Do you know about Chrysanthemum Douluo's other two disciples?
They were already level 70 early on. Jerry himself is level 80, and even the last disciple he took is now level 68.
Come back quickly. You really don't need to worry about other things; cultivation is the most important.
As for the two great empires, our Spirit Hall doesn't take them seriously at all.
If they dare to provoke us, we only need to use a small trick to raise prices, and we can make them fall into trouble.
Finally, the Spirit Hall branches will directly withdraw. You see which place can hold on.
Imagine, when prices soar, grain is scarce, cultivation supplies are scarce, and the points in people's hands cannot be exchanged, how will they react?
The consequences are unimaginable.
And many people have exchanged their money and supplies for points, and people are used to the convenience brought by the Spirit Hall. It is impossible for them to be like before.
By then, commoner riots and Spirit Master rebellions will naturally appear, and even nobles won't be able to escape.
Finally, the country will be in turmoil. If they are lucky, they will hold on, but it is estimated that development in all aspects will regress for many years. If they can't hold on, the empire will directly change its face.
As for those sects, needless to say, many disciples are now secretly registered in the Spirit Hall.
If they have any unusual movements, we will directly prohibit sect personnel from registering and clear out those who have already registered, making the points in their hands invalid. You see which sect can hold on.
Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi has secretly registered, and he himself has exchanged more than 20 million points. We just don't want to take action now.
During this period, many advanced Spirit Masters have been added, and even Titled Douluo have increased by more than 30 recently, just not officially conferred. Jerry said to hide it for now.
Now in terms of economy, supplies, and manpower, which aspect is not crushing the two great empires and sects? Controlling them or not is no longer important. Now the most important thing is your cultivation.
I think highly of this person Jerry. You come back and meet him. I mentioned you to him before, and he is also very interested in you. If you two are together, Grandpa will be at ease.
Now every family is eyeing him. If Jerry hadn't agreed, it is estimated that many people would have sent their daughters to Jerry's house long ago.
My good granddaughter, come back quickly!
You don't need to worry about Bibi Dong's thoughts. She is currently in seclusion. After she comes out, finding that the entire Wuhun City has taken on a new look, she might feel a headache.
The current Wuhun City is simply not something she can control alone.
Take advantage of the time she is still in seclusion to return to Wuhun City and strive to make more achievements.
When she comes out of seclusion and sees the achievements you have made, she will definitely be shocked. This will be more shocking than her knowing that you have controlled the Heaven Dou Empire.
By the way, I remembered an important thing. I discussed it with Jerry. He thinks that although the Heaven Dou Empire is no longer important now, it is after all a former empire and still has some precious things.
The most precious of these is the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure—the Vast Sea Universe Cover.
The Vast Sea Universe Cover is an ancient treasure with magical power. It is said that it contains the inheritance of the Sea God.
Of course, even if we don't need the Vast Sea Universe Cover, we can't let this treasure fall into the hands of others.
You can find a way to investigate the situation of the Vast Sea Universe Cover. If possible, try to obtain this national treasure.
So listen to Grandpa and come back quickly!
After reading the letter, Qian Renxue thought a lot.
The cultivation speed of Jerry and the others really surprised her, as well as the 200-times cultivation room behind.
Two hundred times, it's hard to imagine the cultivation speed inside.
As for the Vast Sea Universe Cover, she seems to have heard of it.
"Vast Sea Universe Cover? Remembered, that useless thing in the Heaven Dou Empire treasury, Sea God inheritance!"
"Two uncles, Grandpa wants me to give up the Heaven Dou Empire and return to Wuhun City. What do you think?"
Regarding returning, Qian Renxue was still a bit hesitant.
Qian Renxue was still a bit unwilling in her heart. Years of hard work were about to succeed. If it weren't for Jerry, she would definitely take over a powerful empire.
But now the empire has become a mess, a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.
The originally perfect plan now has to be abandoned. She is unwilling in her heart. How many years of her hard work, yet Jerry, with a wave of his hand, made her efforts meaningless.
"Young Master, although the two of us rarely pay attention, the development of Wuhun City now, even if we don't care, will reach our ears. Compared to the current Heaven Dou Empire, I think it's better to go back."
Snake Lance Douluo said after consideration. He now feels that taking over the Heaven Dou Empire is a waste of time and meaningless.
"I think so too. The Spirit Hall produced a Jerry; it is really the Spirit Hall's luck. With him there, there is no need for us to do these things."
Puffer Douluo also expressed his opinion. He was also very helpless. He felt aggrieved for Qian Renxue. Lurking for many years, how much thought was spent on this matter, but it couldn't withstand the things Jerry, this monster, did behind the scenes.
"Alright! Arrange to return to Wuhun City, but before leaving, go to the treasury to get something."
After analyzing the pros and cons, Qian Renxue compromised and finally made a decision.
The next day, the entire Heaven Dou City was shocked.
Second Prince Xue Qinghe died of poisoning. After testing, the poison was the same as that of First Prince Xue Luochuan and Third Prince Xue Haizang.
Fourth Prince Xue Beng directly became the only heir to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Many clear-sighted people felt they saw the way, and one after another began to defect to Xue Beng.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace
Hearing the news of Second Prince Xue Qinghe's death by poisoning, Emperor Xue Ye directly vomited blood and fainted.
This news was a heavy blow to him, because he had always firmly believed that the deaths of the First Prince and Third Prince were related to the Second Prince.
Now that the Second Prince has suffered the same fate, the suspicion has been ruled out.
And the investigation data that came back showed that it was not Fourth Prince Xue Beng who took action.
But from the results, the one who benefited the most was Fourth Prince Xue Beng.
Especially hearing that after the Second Prince died, the Fourth Prince changed his past style and was no longer a playboy.
Lurking for so many years, hiding his clumsiness, he has been acting all along.
Emperor Xue Ye was shocked and remorseful about this, because he had once looked down on this Fourth Prince and did not expect him to have such deep city and scheming.
Lurking for many years, sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, I really underestimated you.
Not taking action before, was it to shift my attention to the Second Prince? Trying to make him bear the blame, thereby hiding himself.
Taking action suddenly now, is it because he knew I was going to pass the throne to the Second Prince next month?
Couldn't hold back, if he didn't take action, he would miss the throne, so he took the initiative to take action in advance to avoid missing the throne.
The matter of passing the throne to the Second Prince was only known to a few close people around him. He really is my good son, planting eyes and ears around me.
With this scheming, not being open and aboveboard, not dealing with the Spirit Hall, but using it all on his own brothers. He really is my good eldest son.
Since he wants to be emperor so much, then I will fulfill him and let him face the pressure of the Spirit Hall to see if he still has this scheming.
After the Second Prince Xue Qinghe was buried, Emperor Xue Ye was deeply grieved and disheartened, directly announcing his abdication and passing the throne to Fourth Prince Xue Beng.
At the same time, to assist in managing state affairs, Prince Xuexing was also appointed as an assistant.
However, Emperor Xue Ye's abdication did not make him feel at ease.
He worried that his existence would become an obstacle for Fourth Prince Xue Beng, so he decided to take a few concubines, daughter Princess Xue Ke, and a few close confidants to leave the palace overnight and head to Wuhun City.
Emperor Xue Ye is worthy of being a person who has been an emperor. He was not confused by the power of the throne, could pick up and put down, and was prepared for a rainy day, arranging a way out early.
Anyway, he couldn't do anything about the Spirit Hall, and his age was already old. It would be better to find a place to retire in peace. The current Wuhun City is undoubtedly the best choice.
He believed that even if it was exposed later, the people of the Spirit Hall would not make things difficult for an old man. Besides, he still had a little friendship with the high-level officials of the Spirit Hall. As long as it wasn't a big deal, they basically wouldn't make things difficult for him.
