Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 80 Qian Renxue Wants to Be Lin Mu's Teaching Assistant
In the Crown Prince's bedroom, Xue Qinghe was looking up at the sky through the window, seemingly thinking about someone or something.

Suddenly, a figure quietly appeared behind him; it was none other than the Serpent Spear Douluo who had returned to report.

A hint of joy flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He then turned around and asked, "Uncle She Long, has Lin Mu returned?"

"Reporting to the young master, Lin Mu has indeed returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

After a brief pause, the Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes gleamed with barely suppressed excitement as he continued, "Not only that, I also personally witnessed the battle between Lin Mu and Sword Dao Chenxin!"

"what?!"

Xue Qinghe was taken aback at first, then a look of worry appeared on his face, and he asked in a slightly anxious tone, "Is he injured?"

Seeing the young master's reaction, Serpent Spear Douluo became even more certain of his guess.

Immediately, he suppressed his thoughts and said, "Young Master, Lin Mu is not injured, but Jian Daochenxin has suffered considerable injuries."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

How could Lin Mu actually make Jian Dao Chen Xin suffer a setback?
After a moment, Xue Qinghe forced himself to calm down and looked at the Serpent Spear Douluo, signaling him to continue.

"Lin Mu caught Jian Daochen Xin off guard with his near-teleportation speed. The two then used their seventh soul skills to clash, with Lin Mu gaining a slight advantage."

"Finally, Jian Daochen tried to use his ninth soul skill to deal with him, but to no avail. Instead, he was outmaneuvered by Lin Mu."

Serpent Spear Douluo briefly recounted the battle.

"I never expected this guy to be this strong!"

Xue Qinghe's eyes gleamed with admiration. To fight against the swordsman Chen Xin with the cultivation of a Soul Saint was an achievement that could be described as unprecedented.

If nothing unexpected happens, her teacher should be planning how to win over Lin Mu.

Although Ning Fengzhi was her nominal teacher, she didn't have much of a teacher-student relationship with him. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was loyal to the Heaven Dou Empire, not to her.

Seeing Xue Qinghe's reaction, a glint flashed in Serpent Spear Douluo's eyes, and he said solemnly:
"Young Master, for the sake of your grand ambitions, we must capture Lin Mu; he will be your greatest asset."

“Uncle She Long, I naturally know the pros and cons, but this guy is impervious to both soft and hard tactics, and even the honey trap didn’t work.”

Xue Qinghe shook his head slightly, a hint of helplessness on his face.

However, Serpent Spear Douluo disagreed, saying meaningfully, "Young Master, ordinary honey traps are naturally unlikely to work against such a peerless genius."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe frowned slightly, having already discerned the implied meaning in his words.

Seeing the young master hesitate, Serpent Spear Douluo took a deep breath and added, "Young master, you usually appear in men's clothing to conceal your stunning beauty. If you could reveal your true form as a woman, you could meet me with your real face."

"presumptuous!"

Before Serpent Spear Douluo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Qinghe's loud shout.

Her face was frosty, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and shame, and she said in an icy voice, "She Long, how dare you make me use my beauty to please you!"

As the young master of the Spirit Hall and the future successor of the Angel God, her status was so noble that she was forced to sell her body.

This undoubtedly offended her pride!

Although she had had this thought before, hearing it from someone else was an insult to her.

Seeing the young master's anger, Serpent Spear Douluo's face turned pale instantly, cold sweat poured down his back, and he hurriedly knelt down on both knees, trembling as he said, "Young master, please calm down. Your subordinate had no intention of disrespecting you, and was only thinking of your great cause!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe immediately snapped out of his anger and began to weigh the pros and cons.

Lin Mu is only in her early twenties, yet she can rival Jian Dao Chen Xin. Her talent is far superior to Lin Mu's. If she can find the inheritance of other gods, she might also become a god.

From this perspective, if we can win this guy over, it wouldn't be too much of a loss. After a long while, Xue Qinghe emerged from his thoughts, regaining his previous gentle and refined demeanor, and said calmly, "Uncle She Long, this matter must not be revealed to anyone."

"Yes, young master!"

Serpent Spear Douluo quickly agreed and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, his gamble paid off; the young master did indeed have feelings for Lin Mu.

Just then, the Porcupine Douluo quietly approached the Serpent Spear Douluo's side and respectfully said, "Young Master, Meng Shenji is on his way here."

"What is he here for?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes. Strictly speaking, the three members of the teaching committee of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy were loyal to Emperor Xue Ye, and had little to do with him.

"Could it be related to Lin Mu?"

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe immediately had an idea. He looked at Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo and said, "You two go down first."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and immediately disappeared from the Crown Prince's palace.

Before long, Meng Shenji arrived outside the Crown Prince's palace. Xue Qinghe straightened her robes and quickly went to greet her.

"Chief Dream Strategist, what brings you in such a hurry?"

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon seeing Xue Qinghe emerge, Meng Shenji immediately bowed in greeting.

Immediately, a hint of urgency appeared on his face, and he solemnly said, "Your Highness, Lin Mu has already led the Royal Fighting Team back to the academy."

"Is that so? It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Lin. I've missed him dearly. I'll go see Brother Lin after I finish dealing with my official business."

Xue Qinghe first pretended to be surprised, then put on an act as if she had a good relationship with Lin Mu.

In fact, Meng Shenji came to find Xue Qinghe this time entirely because Emperor Xue Ye was hesitant and unreliable, and could only place his hopes on His Highness the Crown Prince.

Only by recruiting Lin Mu can the Heaven Dou Empire have the confidence to confront the Spirit Hall.

"Your Highness, Qin Ming has left the Royal Fighting Team and gone to teach at Shrek Academy. Lin Mu is now short of a teaching assistant and would like to ask if Your Highness has any suitable candidates."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's eyes sparkled, and a brilliant idea quietly emerged from the bottom of her heart.

She was just worried about not having a suitable reason to approach Lin Mu. Now that she had the identity of a teaching assistant, Lin Mu was no match for her.

“Chief Dream God Machine, I do have an excellent candidate who can not only serve as an assistant instructor, but also win over Lin Mu to the Empire.”

"Your Highness, who are you referring to?"

Meng Shenji was full of doubt. There was definitely no such talent in the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. He must be a strong person trained by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Seeing this, a subtle, enigmatic smile played on Xue Qinghe's lips as he said calmly:

"This person's identity is special, and it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being, but I can guarantee that she is absolutely the most suitable person for this position and is completely worthy of Lin Mu."

Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was so certain, Meng Shenji immediately believed him to some extent and said respectfully, "Since Your Highness has already chosen a candidate, I am relieved. Please make the arrangements as soon as possible."

After speaking, he bowed and hurriedly left the Crown Prince's palace.

Once everyone was alone, Xue Qinghe stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze sharp, and a meaningful smile bloomed on her lips.

"Lin Mu, you can only be mine."
