Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 64: Testing, Qian Renxue's Intentional Recruitment

"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ji Wuming walked into an antique conference room and bowed respectfully towards Xue Qinghe in front of him.

Ji Wuming had anticipated this situation since he decided to join Tiandou Royal Academy, but when he actually met Xue Qinghe, he was still a little nervous.

"Ji Wuming, I'm the crown prince outside, but here it's just you and me. There's no need to be so nervous. You're the most outstanding and talented soul master I've ever seen."

"sit!"

Xue Qinghe stretched out his right hand, pointed to the square chair beside him, and continued in a gentle tone,

"I'm only a few years older than you. If you don't mind, we can call each other brothers. You can call me Brother Xue to make me seem more approachable."

"I dare not. I am just a commoner spirit master. How dare I call His Royal Highness the Crown Prince my brother?"

Ji Wuming was very clear about Xueqing's true identity at this time. She was now the young master of the Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong's biological daughter - Qian Renxue.

And her two loyal Title Douluo bodyguards were hiding somewhere. If she was not careful, she would most likely put them on her must-kill list.
But judging from his tone, it seems that he wants to recruit me.

Xue Qinghe turned his head to look at Ji Wuming and said with particular admiration,
"The talents that Poison Douluo admires, even if they are ordinary people now, are destined to achieve extraordinary success in the future."

"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. I wonder if Brother Xue's visit to me this time isn't just for some socializing!"

Ji Wuming immediately stood up, bowed to him and said,
"If Brother Xue needs my help, I will do my best to help."

Xue Qinghe looked at Ji Wuming's proactive move, and the sense of conquest in his heart was instantly greatly satisfied.

The pride of a genius is just like this. Even the chosen one of God is destined to surrender under her skirt.

Then, Xue Qinghe helped Ji Wuming up with both hands and said seriously,

"Which side do you think has the greater advantage now, the Empire or the Spirit Hall?"

Ji Wuming was cheered up. He never expected that Xue Qinghe would ask him about such sensitive national affairs as soon as he arrived.

"Ordinary people don't discuss politics, let alone me being in front of Brother Xue. I dare not discuss state affairs."

"There are only you and me here, and this matter will never be heard by a third person, but you can still tell me."

Xue Qinghe still showed the image of a gentle and dignified prince, and was not angry at Ji Wuming's rejection.

"In that case, Your Highness, let me explain."

Ji Wuming looked at Xue Qinghe's eyes, which were calm yet filled with a hint of longing.

Then he naturally had to express all his inner thoughts, preferably something that could touch Xue Qinghe's inner defenses.

"Your Highness, I come from a commoner background. From my observations over the past few years, I've found that the Spirit Hall values ​​common people, especially in helping them awaken their spirits for free. This is truly a great achievement."

"Although the two empires have enacted some laws to protect civilians, the kingdoms and principalities under the empires do not abide by these laws and instead exploit and oppress civilians and low-level spirit masters for profit."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe frowned and nodded slightly. Although she was not the real Xue Qinghe, she had also felt deeply the shortcomings of the two empires since she became the crown prince.
The kingdoms and duchies still had too much autonomy, especially the newly emerging nobles within the empire, who were granted titles through fiefdoms. They were still subject to the tyranny of the old nobility, and the nobility were constantly oppressing the nobility. "That's true, but they are still just ordinary people. In this world, they still have to rely on spirit masters."

"No, civilians are civilians, and spirit masters are spirit masters. In the two empires, there are hundreds of millions of civilians, and the vast majority of spirit masters are civilian spirit masters with no background."

"If an empire is to prosper for a long time, civilians and spirit masters must be completely separated through legal constraints."

Ji Wuming's tone became heavier and heavier. After a pause, he continued,

"The people are the foundation of a country, and the majority of the people are the important component of the entire empire. If the monarch despises the common people and pays attention to the soul masters, he will lose sight of the fundamentals and pursue the trivial. The empire will eventually decay and perish."

For Ji Wuming, who had received nine years of compulsory education, civilians were the cornerstone of the continent. Whether it was the current Tiandou Empire or the Xingluo Empire, they all weakened the civilians and even regarded them as a natural consumable.

Xue Qinghe was also quite shocked after hearing these arrogant words. He did not expect that a genius soul master would have such unique insights and be willing to speak up for the common people.

To some extent, his thinking is very similar to the current practices of the Spirit Hall.

Xue Qinghe still said calmly,

"If I ascend the throne in the future, will you be willing to serve me?"

Ji Wuming hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands together and bowed 90 degrees towards Xue Qinghe.
"I, Ji Wuming, am willing to do my bit for the Tiandou Empire and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, okay!" Xue Qinghe was very happy and immediately threw him a token that symbolized the prince's status.
"With this token, no one in the Tiandou Palace dares to stop me."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Ji Wuming carefully put away the token, secretly happy in his heart, after all, I serve Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire, not you Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue and Xue Qinghe are completely two different people.
If you really have this ambition in the future, it won't be difficult for you to help the Spirit Hall completely unify the continent.

But the Pope and the future Empress of the Empire must not be Bibi Dong.

After that, the two chatted for a while, and then Ji Wuming and the three members of the Education Committee watched Xue Qinghe get on the carriage and leave Tiandou Royal Academy.
After driving for a distance, Cixue flashed into the carriage.

"Young Master, how's that kid? Do you need me to kill him?"

"No need. In my opinion, this person still has a good impression of the Spirit Hall in his heart. He is a good and interesting subordinate."

As Xue Qinghe spoke, a smile appeared on his lips. Ji Wuming was an ambitious man, and he needed his assistance to complete his plan to steal the country and take revenge on that woman.

"Cixue, tell grandpa about Ji Wuming. I want more detailed information about him."

"Okay, young master."

…………

Not long after, Cixue arrived outside the Wuhun City's worship hall and knelt on one knee.
"Prick your blood to ask for an audience with the chief priest."

I saw a heavy door about 60 to 70 meters high, resplendent and golden, slowly opening. Inside it emanated a bright angelic light, sacred and warm.
A man in a red gilded robe, with a two-meter-long golden dragon-shaped stick on his shoulders, looked at the blood-piercing scene with a light look.

"Prick your blood, the chief priest orders you to go in."
