Under Qian Renxue's gaze, Han Li slowly began to speak:
"First of all, I think the undercover plan has a certain feasibility."
A smile appeared on Qian Renxue's face, but then it froze after his next sentence.
"But I have to say, the person who chose you to carry out this plan is a bit stupid. Of course, I'm not talking about you, after all, you were only a few years old at the time, right? It couldn't have been your own choice, could it?"
Han Li looked at Qian Renxue with an expression of "no way, is there really such an idiot," blocking her attempt to retort.
Qian Renxue's fists clenched, but she still forced a smile and said, "Yes, continue."
"Okay, it's good that it wasn't you. Grand Uncle-Master also opposed it, so it must have been the Pope. Sigh, I feel sorry for you."
Han Li sighed, his gaze towards her filled with pity, making Qian Renxue feel uncomfortable all over.
"Why was she in such a hurry? Making you go undercover at the age of nine."
"With your talent, oh, Grand Uncle-Master told me that you have Innate Spirit Power of level twenty. If you had cultivated properly before, you should be a Soul Douluo by now, right?"
"If you were to go undercover now, wouldn't the risk be much lower, and it wouldn't delay your cultivation speed?"
Han Li spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and Qian Renxue unconsciously nodded.
What he said seemed to make a little sense. Qian Renxue was somewhat dazed. So, was she really stupid? If it weren't for Han Li's Immortal Herb earlier, plus Qian Daoliu's occasional stimulation, which increased her cultivation time, wouldn't she not even be a Soul Sage by now?
For a moment, Qian Renxue began to doubt her life.
"So, should I give up being undercover and go back to cultivate properly?"
She lowered her head, her expression unclear, and muttered to herself.
Huh? Huh? Huh? Hearing her words, Han Li felt a little dizzy. He had already restrained himself a lot, but it still managed to confuse her?
Was the stimulation too great, and her brain completely broke? Give up now? Is she okay? The time when you could cultivate the fastest has already been wasted by you. Do you think you can make up for it by giving up now? And you've wasted ten years here. Are you planning to end up pleasing no one? A fruitless effort?
Although Qian Daoliu did have this intention, it was more because he understood her personality and wanted her to change, to not put all her energy into politics and get her priorities backward.
How did it turn out that Qian Renxue was acting strange after he just said a few casual words? "Hey, are you okay?"
Han Li looked at Qian Renxue, who was reacting strangely, with some apprehension.
Fortunately, Qian Renxue was just too shocked. After all, almost no one her age had ever called her stupid to her face, so she had a hard time accepting it.
After hearing Han Li greet her, she regained her senses.
"I understand your thoughts, but, in short, I won't give up."
Qian Renxue said stubbornly, not knowing if she was saying it to Han Li or to herself.
"Yeah, yeah, it's good that you haven't given up."
Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. Things were fine as they were. He hoped she wouldn't give up just because he casually spouted a few words.
"Didn't you think, think it was very stupid? Then why did you say it's good that I haven't given up?"
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before completing her sentence.
"Of course, I just thought there were some things that weren't quite right before, but you've already been undercover for ten, no, eleven years. Wouldn't it be even more not worth it to give up now?"
"However, you really should put more energy into cultivation. You've already stabilized the situation, and your reputation and image have been established. Why continue to waste time on this?"
Han Li was afraid of short-circuiting her again, so he used more euphemistic words.
"But, because of what happened back then, Xue Ye still doesn't have a very good impression of me. Although it's not enough to expose me, I still have to do what a crown prince should do. Only in this way can I realize the subsequent plan."
Qian Renxue shook her head, her words tinged with bitterness.
This was the so-called being blinded by being too close to the situation. She had completely substituted herself into the identity of a crown prince and was being too heavily influenced.
She was more like a politician than a Soul Master, Han Li sighed inwardly.
"Has no one ever reminded you to just kill Xue Beng and Xue Xing?" Han Li asked directly.
"Yes, but I think that would be even more detrimental to the subsequent plan and would cause Xue Ye to reject me intensely, so I chose not to do it,"
Qian Renxue answered honestly.
"Then didn't you think that after killing them all, Xue Ye's only heir would be Xue Qinghe, whom you are impersonating? You should have already disabled his ability to have children, right?"
"Even if he becomes more resistant and suspicious of you, does he have a choice? Can he pass the throne to someone else? What you need to do is be more assertive, even show him your desire for the throne."
"When the time is right, directly force him to abdicate, or just kill him. Isn't Star Luo an obvious example right there? Can't you copy the homework?"
"Don't tell me you really want to be the crown prince for thirty years? Or are you planning to spend another ten years, or even more, playing games with those nobles?"
Han Li sighed, speaking very bluntly.
Qian Renxue was stunned by his words, which also opened a new door for her. Could an undercover agent be so blatant? Since he had already said it, Han Li didn't plan to only say half of it. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Aren't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also very interested in the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"Then use them. Ning Fengzhi is still your teacher, isn't he the best candidate?"
"Next, you just need to inadvertently reveal your desire for the throne in front of him."
"A crown prince who needs support and trusts him, plus the title of future imperial tutor, versus an old fox-like emperor who plays mind games with him every day. Which side will he lean towards, and which side can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gain more benefits from? I don't need to tell you, you should be very clear."
"Maybe, Xue Beng and Xue Xing won't even need you to lift a finger, and they'll just die in accidents."
Han Li had a faint smile on his lips.
"What if Ning Fengzhi isn't in a hurry either, and still stands with Xue Ye for the sake of stability? Or, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gains more power in Heaven Dou, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"
Qian Renxue subconsciously asked.
"If he stands with Xue Ye, your situation won't get any worse. Then we'll do it ourselves, kill Xue Beng and Xue Xing. I said, he has no choice. Whether you choose to lie low and work hard to improve your cultivation or use other methods, the throne will ultimately fall to you."
"As for if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School attempts to interfere more, can't you directly ask Spirit Hall for help? It's simpler and faster. I'd be happy if he did that."
Han Li smiled very happily, and very unscrupulously.
To be honest, if he wasn't only thinking about improving himself right now and didn't have the mood to play with these people, he would really like to personally spar with Ning Fengzhi.
He wanted to understand what kind of mental state he was in to say something like "He who obtains Grandmaster obtains the world." To be honest, even as flattery, it was a bit insulting to the demeanor of a sect leader.
But that doesn't stop him from giving ideas and letting the little angel help him find some fun.
