That evening, the annual lantern festival was held in Xingluo City.

For Zhu Zhuqing, this was the perfect time to go out. However, she didn't rush into it, but instead invited Dai Mubai to stroll around the streets together.

However, Tang Xiao and others were still discussing the palace coup, so how could Dai Mubai, who was involved, leave so easily?

However, seeing that Zhu Zhuqing's expression had improved and that she even took the initiative to "give in" to Dai Mubai, Yu Xiaogang and the others' suspicions about her were somewhat dispelled, and they thought that she had come to her senses.

In response, the Haotian Sect reduced its attention to Zhu Zhuqing, only sending a few spies of average strength to follow her.

Upon leaving the mansion, Zhu Zhuqing put on the glasses that the letter writer had given her.

With the infusion of soul power, the world before her eyes was completely transformed, and details that were not easily perceptible to the naked eye could be clearly seen through the glasses.

Zhu Zhuqing found it amazing, as if these glasses were some kind of extraordinary soul guide device.

With a mere thought, these glasses can lock onto tiny objects and magnify them, presenting a clear image. For people with poor eyesight, this is truly a blessing.

but
"This is actually a soul tool." Zhu Zhuqing took off her glasses and looked at its brand-new appearance, feeling that everything was unreal.

Could it be that these soul-guided glasses are also newly manufactured?

First it was a storage soul tool, and now it's soul-guided glasses. What kind of methods does the person behind this have?
With this in mind, she was certain that the person who wrote the letter had no connection with Dai Mubai.

After all, neither the Star Luo Empire nor the Haotian Sect possessed the technology of soul tools. Judging from the craftsmanship of these soul tool glasses, they are very similar to the storage soul tools sold by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, suggesting they were made by the same force.

Is it the Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire?
……

Zhu Zhuqing did not linger in front of the mansion. She quickly followed the crowd into the bustling street.

The eyeliner who was following her this time wasn't very strong, and with the help of the Soul Guidance Glasses, she easily located the eyeliner's position.

To avoid being discovered, she wandered around alone, revealing no clues.

Soon, the Soul Guidance Glasses automatically locked onto a shop sign, which had a tiny arrow pointing directly at the shop owner.

The previous letter indicated that the contact person could be found through these soul-guided glasses. Following the guidance of the glasses, Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the shop.

This is a shop that sells hairpins; it looks quite ordinary.

When the shop owner saw her, he enthusiastically introduced the hairpins to her, but while speaking, he intentionally or unintentionally pointed to an empty corner on the counter.

Zhu Zhuqing did not introduce herself, deciding to observe for a while before making a decision, in order to avoid any unexpected events.

When her gaze fell upon that empty corner, the Soul Guidance Glasses automatically locked onto the tiny characters engraved there.

The content included explaining the conversation at the rendezvous point and revealing some information to Zhu Zhuqing.

Upon learning that the other party was an informant of the Spirit Hall, Zhu Zhuqing was filled with shock and disbelief.

It seems that Dai Mubai and others' previous guesses were not true. The Spirit Hall learned a lot about the court through Davis, and never reduced its attention to the selection of the crown prince of the Star Luo royal family.

However, she was puzzled as to how the Spirit Hall could guess Yu Xiaogang and the others' thoughts.

Although she didn't have a very good impression of Yu Xiaogang, he did have some abilities after all. The fact that the Spirit Hall could read her mind showed how smart their think tank must be.

In this way, it seems that guessing her thoughts is not difficult.

Following the coded message, Zhu Zhuqing expressed her doubts, "Boss, this hairpin doesn't use much gold, yet the price is too expensive."

The shopkeeper replied in code: "Miss, you can't just say things like that. This hairpin is made by a master craftsman. The processing fee alone cost more than a dozen gold soul coins."

"It's a small business, I need to make a profit, you know. I can't just lose money to gain publicity, right?"

The conversation between the two parties, which seemed to be just an ordinary transaction, actually concealed a hidden agenda.

The informant following Zhu Zhuqing was completely unaware of this. Zhu Zhuqing had no direct grudge against the Spirit Hall and, unlike Dai Mubai, would not be swayed by Tang San's will.

Previously, the Spirit Hall's policies that benefited the people had greatly improved her opinion of the Spirit Hall.

She was conflicted.

According to Tang San and others' analysis, once the Spirit Hall possesses a god-level powerhouse, it will inevitably unify the continent. At that time, how will the Zhu family position itself?

If she becomes an "insider" for the Spirit Hall, she will be safe, but after the continent is unified, the remnants of the Star Luo Empire will surely criticize her behind her back.

At this point, she couldn't make up her mind and finally politely declined, saying, "This hairpin is too expensive, let's forget about it."

As she spoke, she took off her glasses and placed them discreetly on the stall, thus making her stance clear.

Secretly, Ghost Leopard Douluo, who was in charge of planning all of this, sighed with regret.

I thought Zhu Zhuqing would obediently give in, but to my surprise, she still refused.

However, judging from her expression, she most likely wouldn't reveal this matter. For safety's sake, he led his men out of Star Luo City first.

As for how things will develop in the future, that's not his concern.

Having Zhu Zhuqing's help would certainly be a bonus; even without it, it wouldn't have much impact on the Spirit Hall's plans.

……

Three days later, at the Spirit Hall.

Ghost Leopard Douluo returned to report and informed Wu Qi of the situation.

Wu Qi did not comment on this.

Zhu Zhuqing is a smart person, but she lacks the decisiveness to make tough decisions.

These kinds of people lead the most tiring lives.

Wu Qi didn't think much of it and waved for Ghost Leopard Douluo to leave.

Within the Star Luo royal family, there were indeed those who secretly pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall.

Earlier today, the official reported back to the Spirit Hall about the Haotian Sect bribing the palace guards.

This was a sign of an impending palace coup, but Dai Mubai's influence in the court was limited, far less than that of Xue Qinghe back then.

Using such a tactic to win people's hearts is extremely low-level.

After thinking it over, Wu Qi gave his approval.

These officials who secretly pledged allegiance certainly cannot all die in the palace coup. Once the coup begins, they must be brought to Wuhun City as soon as possible.

As for the palace guards, Wu Qi decided to have these officials make secret contact with them. As long as they were willing to cooperate with the palace coup, they would be granted the privilege of settling in Wuhun City after the event.

In the future, these people will become vicious dogs that turn on Dai Mubai, preparing for the plan to unify the continent.

After a pause, Wu Qi realized something, and a spatial passage appeared in front of him, leading him into the poisonous land.

Feng Xiaotian's assessment was very fast, and he has officially inherited the position of Wind God.

Everything within the poisonous land was under Wu Qi's control. How could the enormous commotion during his breakthrough escape his perception?

In addition, Qian Gu Chang Kong and others were also in seclusion in the highly poisonous land. Taking advantage of the rapid flow of time and the abundant spiritual energy here, they were breaking through to higher levels very quickly.

Qian Gu Chang Kong is already a level 98 peak Douluo, getting closer and closer to level 99. (End of this chapter)
