"Wait, what? Did you have something for me to do, sister?"
Qian Renxue smiled gently, her slender body shivering slightly. Even though she was dressed in male clothing at this moment, her charm was still undeniable.
"Of course, we've been busy these past few days."
"You disappeared, and we were worried about your safety. I even sent a letter back to Grandpa, asking him to look for you."
"It looks like I'll have to send him another letter to tell him you're fine."
Qian Renfeng could only smile helplessly and nod.
He had originally planned to return to Heaven Dou City on schedule. But then, hadn't he encountered the Fallen Angel Clan? After traveling to their stronghold, time had gotten tight, so being late by a few days was completely normal.
However, since he was caught, he had no intention of brushing it off. "Since that's the case, sister, go ahead and tell me. I'm curious, what can I do to help?"
Qian Renxue stopped smiling, her face turning serious. "The most pressing issue right now is that we don't have a state religion!"
"And Du Bianluo, that Poison Douluo, is very unwilling to address this issue. I need you to take care of it!"
"Without a state religion, maintaining stability in Heaven Dou City is always going to be a problem."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue's eyes seemed distant. This was something she had been preparing for since the first day she went undercover. But now that they had reached this point, things had still gone wrong.
"Why not have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School handle it?"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is an old, established power. Not only are they good at dealing with these things, but it would also be easier for the people of the Heaven Dou Empire to accept them, right?"
Qian Renfeng was confused. Things like this could easily be handled by any representative. Was it necessary for him to do it personally?
Qian Renxue smiled faintly and said, "Well, originally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was supposed to handle it."
"I even planned to make them the state religion of the Heaven Dou Empire, with the sect leader as the national teacher, a figure above everyone else!"
"But unfortunately, Ning Fengzhi refused."
"He told me that even if the Heaven Dou Empire was in crisis, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not become the state religion. Just now, they officially announced their complete withdrawal."
"From now on, they will live in seclusion!"
The Pig-Tusk Douluo nodded. Even though his intelligence still couldn't understand why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had chosen to do this, it was probably better that they withdrew.
After all, if they remained active and a conflict arose, it could cause unnecessary complications for Qian Renxue.
The leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi, was, on the surface, Qian Renxue's mentor. The title of "killing the teacher" didn't sound good, after all.
"What about directly having the Spirit Hall become the state religion?"
Qian Renfeng suggested again. Spirit Hall was another good choice.
With an established system, a mature spirit master cultivation mechanism, and a presence across the entire Heaven Dou Empire, if Spirit Hall became the state religion, it would save everyone a lot of effort.
"The people of Heaven Dou don't like Spirit Hall very much. If we made the state religion part of Spirit Hall, that would be fine."
"But if we made Spirit Hall directly the state religion, overseeing everything, it would be worse than not having them at all."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renfeng didn't press further. He just nodded slightly and motioned to Qian Renxue, "In that case, I'll find a way to solve this issue."
"Before the death of Emperor Xueye, I'll make sure that a new rising force will gradually gain recognition across the Douluo Continent!"
Qian Renxue nodded in agreement. With Qian Renfeng's strength, not to mention having a new force make a name for itself on the continent, even establishing the number one sect in the world was no problem.
As long as Qian Renfeng was willing, he could achieve anything.
"Little Feng, how about staying in the Heaven Dou Empire for a while? You could take a look at the talented youth of your age."
"Although they've long since fallen behind your pace, I think it would still be interesting to watch!"
Qian Renxue smiled, and both of them had long since transcended their peer group, their gaze now spanning the entire continent.
Qian Renfeng spoke softly, "Sister, you understand me so well. That's exactly what I was thinking!"
"Hahaha, of course!" Qian Renxue's laughter rang out like the tinkling of silver bells. "And this time, there are many beautiful women. If you like any of them, it wouldn't be a problem for you to take a few."
The Grand Soul Master Tournament of the Continent was held as scheduled.
On the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Xueye sat as if everything were fine.
Standing next to him was Du Bianluo, the guest of the Heaven Dou Empire.
In a place almost unseen by anyone, Du Bianluo continuously infused soul power into Emperor Xueye's body, making sure he didn't faint during the opening ceremony.
If the emperor collapsed right at the start, it would be a huge embarrassment for the Heaven Dou Empire.
Emperor Xueye smiled as he watched the arena.
This time, he truly had to thank Du Bianluo, the Poison Douluo!
Who would have thought that the person accompanying him to the end of his life would be a guest whom the Heaven Dou Empire could never invite in the first place?
If it weren't for the favor he owed to Prince Xuexing, it would have been impossible to invite even a Title Douluo to such an event!
Sitting beside Emperor Xueye was none other than the actual ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Crown Prince, "Xue Qinghe!"
"Qinghe, this time, you must do your best to select some talented individuals for the empire, impress them, and win them over!"
"The weight of the Heaven Dou Empire will soon fall on your shoulders!"
Emperor Xueye spoke earnestly.
As an emperor, he knew his life was coming to an end.
After today's exhausting effort, he truly wouldn't survive beyond three months.
At that time, the empire would pass into the hands of his "son."
"Your son obeys the command!"
The Grand Soul Master Tournament of the Continent proceeded as planned, and this tournament was almost identical to the one in the original story.
Shrek Academy still existed!
However, the lineup this time was far from as formidable as it was during the Seven Shrek Monsters' era!
After all, how could a master who had failed as much produce outstanding students?
Qian Renfeng casually sat in a corner. The seats for the entire audience were sold by the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Getting a ticket for the tournament was as easy as flipping his hand.
If even Qian Renfeng couldn't get a seat at the Grand Soul Master Tournament, he would simply sit in the VIP section.
Qian Renfeng's seat was close to the Fire Element Academy.
He could vaguely hear a few whispers.
"Sister Huo Wu, how much strength do you think we should hide this time?"
