Zhang Lexuan sighed softly and said, "That's fine too. The academy's accumulation of ten thousand years can be considered to be passed down in this world in a different way. However, Yuhao, I hope that the name of the person who created these techniques will be included when they are passed down."

In the past few days, she has learned a lot about this era, especially about the Spirit Hall, which has left her with mixed feelings.

She also realized that Shrek Academy might not be as positive as it was portrayed in the books.

Based on what she sees now, the Spirit Hall can awaken spirits for all commoners for free, something Shrek Academy cannot do.

There are almost no evil spirit masters in this era, and Shrek Academy can't do that either.

Although Shrek Academy no longer held a glorious place in her heart, she believed that many outstanding predecessors from the academy over the past ten thousand years deserved to be praised. She could not deny the existence of the academy because of it; their knowledge and contributions to the Soul Master world should be passed on.

Huo Yuhao naturally agreed to Zhang Lexuan's request.

Chapter 338 Huo Yuhao: Qian Renxue, let's work together to overthrow the Spirit Hall!

Huo Yuhao stayed there for a while longer before quietly leaving.

He'd been busy helping Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong hunt for souls these past few days, which had taken up some of his time. It was time for him to go see Qian Renxue.

As he stepped out of Dugu Bo's mansion, a gaunt old man in black suddenly appeared before him. And wasn't this old man the Serpent Spear Douluo who was by Qian Renxue's side? He had just seen him before.

"Our young lady requests your presence," said Serpent Spear Douluo expressionlessly.

Isn't that a coincidence? Huo Yuhao also happens to want to see Qian Renxue.

"Lead the way."

Before long, led by Serpent Spear Douluo, Huo Yuhao arrived at the teahouse that Qian Renxue had taken him to last time.

They went straight to the top floor. The Serpent Spear Douluo stood outside the door, and Huo Yuhao pushed the door open and entered alone.

His gaze swept across the room and found that Qian Renxue was the only person there.

The young woman, dressed in a white long dress with gold floral print, sat quietly in the main seat, elegantly brewing tea.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and sat down opposite her, gazing at the girl. The girl was stunningly beautiful, wearing an angelic golden crown on her head, with her golden hair flowing down her back. Her expression was serene and tranquil. She gently placed a cup of brewed tea in front of him with her delicate hand, every movement exuding elegance and nobility.

Huo Yuhao picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and smiled, "I don't know how to appreciate tea, but the tea you brewed is the best tea in the world."

Qian Renxue chuckled and said, "It's a pity that I don't know how to brew tea either."

Huo Yuhao said, "Sister Xue'er, as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, I know you often go to teahouses. How come you don't know how to brew tea?"

"I'm so busy with work and I have to be careful in everything I do. Where would I find the time and inclination for this? It's just a pity that you, Yuhao, still managed to see through my identity in one fell swoop."

Qian Renxue was all smiles at the beginning of the sentence, but by the end, her face had turned icy cold, and she stared at Huo Yuhao with murderous intent, truly a master of changing her expression.

"What should Sister Xue'er do then?"

Huo Yuhao continued to smile, seemingly unconcerned.

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "I know you won't kill me. We're the same kind of people. I trust you, just as you trust me."

Of course, that's what he said, but if Qian Renxue really dared to make a move, he would let her know how an angel becomes a fallen angel.

Qian Renxue paused, the murderous intent in her golden eyes beneath her delicately arched eyebrows vanishing. She turned her gaze to the window, no longer looking at Huo Yuhao, and said in a still icy voice:

"But I don't really trust you, Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao smiled, his gaze softening, and said gently, "Sister Xue'er, please stop testing me. I've said it before, you can be your most authentic self here with me."

"If you don't trust me, why did you only bring Serpent Spear Douluo with you when you met me this time? Why haven't you sent anyone to deal with me for so long? You haven't even made any big moves."

"Moreover, after I met you once, you couldn't wait to revert to your original appearance and meet me again. Isn't such careless behavior a result of your subconscious trust in me? I will live up to your trust, Sister Xue'er."

Qian Renxue paused for a moment. Huo Yuhao's words made her think that she subconsciously trusted him.

With mixed feelings, she glanced at Huo Yuhao and changed the subject to something more serious.

"Yuhao, I've come here to discuss with you the matter of the Spirit Hall cooperating with you to establish an academy."

Huo Yuhao took a sip of tea and asked, "Sister Xue'er, are you representing yourself or the Spirit Hall?"

"Is there a difference?" Qian Renxue asked.

Huo Yuhao said, "Of course. If you, Sister Xue'er, are representing yourself, I'm happy to cooperate. But if you're representing the Spirit Hall, I can't agree to the cooperation. In my opinion, Sister Xue'er is Sister Xue'er, while the Spirit Hall is on Pope Bibi Dong's side."

"It seems you know our Spirit Hall very well." Qian Renxue looked at Huo Yuhao with a deep gaze.

The fact that he could say such a thing shows that he was well aware of the discord between the Hall of Offerings and the Hall of Spirits.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "As I said, I trust you as much as you trust me, so naturally I will be honest with you."

Qian Renxue paused, picked up the tea and took a small sip, the water glistening on her lips.

"This collaboration involves people from both the Spirit Hall and our Hall of Offerings, but I am the one in charge."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "No, Sister Xue'er, could you remove the people from the Spirit Hall?"

Qian Renxue frowned. "Why? Those people are just His Holiness the Pope's eyes and ears. They won't affect the academy."

"because--"

Huo Yuhao drawled, "My purpose in establishing this academy is to overthrow the Spirit Hall."

Qian Renxue was stunned. She stared at Huo Yuhao and blinked. "W-what did you say?"

"I told you that my purpose in establishing this academy is to overthrow the Spirit Hall, and that I invited Sister Xue'er to join me in this great undertaking," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Qian Renxue's golden eyes were filled with a strange look as she stared at Huo Yuhao as if he were a fool. She was unsure of what to feel at that moment.

She never expected that someone would invite her, an heir to the Spirit Hall, to join in overthrowing the Spirit Hall.

However, she wasn't angry at the other party's frankness; she was just a little amused and exasperated.

"Do you know who I am?" Qian Renxue asked quietly.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "I know. You are the granddaughter of Qian Daoliu, a level 99 Grand Elder, and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. You could say that you are the future successor of the Spirit Hall."

"Then you're inviting me to overthrow the Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue looked at Huo Yuhao with a strange expression.

"Of course, because in my opinion, we are like-minded people, and you will definitely support me," Huo Yuhao said matter-of-factly.

Qian Renxue rubbed her forehead, let out a long breath, and said, "My grandfather doesn't allow me to play with idiots."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile, "Sister Xue'er, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"What do you want to understand?" Qian Renxue asked helplessly.

Huo Yuhao said, "Just to remind you, I meant that you are the heir of the Spirit Hall, and only the heir of the Spirit Hall, not the heir of the Spirit Empire."

Qian Renxue was startled, her eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao again, and she said, word by word, "You really know a lot."

Huo Yuhao said calmly, "Any normal person who knows your identity, Sister Xue'er, can guess that the Spirit Hall has the ambition to conquer the world and encompass the universe."

"So you oppose this? You want to rebel against the Spirit Hall?" Qian Renxue suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Of course I support it, but I think the person in charge of this matter can be you or me, but not Bibi Dong."

"Why?" Qian Renxue was still very curious about what others thought of that woman, especially the implication in the words of the person in front of her, which were all saying that she was better than that woman.

Chapter 339 Qian Renxue's Strategy

Huo Yuhao did not answer directly, but instead asked Qian Renxue, "What do you think of Bibi Dong?"

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and said, "That woman's talent is beyond doubt, and she is also very strong. She is very capable to be able to sit firmly in the position of Pope now."

As someone she once admired and now loathed, her feelings towards Bibi Dong were quite complex. She acknowledged the woman's excellence and even once aimed to gain her approval. However, she also resented the woman for not fulfilling her duties as a mother.

Of course, these words could not be said to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao shook his head with a smile, "But in my opinion, Bibi Dong is nothing more than a crazy woman, a pitiful person, bound by love and hatred. She is indeed exceptionally talented and powerful, and she does have some tricks up her sleeve, but her goals and aspirations are different from yours and mine. All her actions are for the obsession in her heart, and for this, she is willing to pay any price, including you, the Spirit Hall, and herself."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Qian Renxue's expression changed drastically. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes stared intently at Huo Yuhao as she asked in a deep voice, "What exactly do you know about that woman?"

She couldn't understand much of what he was saying; clearly, Huo Yuhao seemed to understand that woman better than she did.

Huo Yuhao suppressed his smile and quietly looked at Qian Renxue, sighing inwardly.

At this time, Qian Daoliu didn't tell Qian Renxue about the disgraceful things Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji had done, perhaps because Qian Daoliu also felt ashamed. Of course, the more important reason was also for her to grow up healthily.

Imagine if Qian Renxue had known those things since childhood, how twisted would her personality have become?

She lacked maternal love from a young age, and her mother even treated her like an enemy; her loving father was a scoundrel who died early, and her mother was the murderer; her loving grandfather stood by and watched all this unfold; and she herself had been engaged in espionage since childhood, a profession most likely to warp one's personality—

It's fortunate that Qian Daoliu didn't tell Qian Renxue the truth, otherwise the girl in front of him would have turned evil long ago.

With a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind and a hint of pity for the girl, Huo Yuhao said softly, "I know a lot, but Sister Xue'er, there are some things I can't tell you. You need to find out for yourself. You can ask your grandfather, or even Bibi Dong. Only they are qualified to tell you what exactly happened in the past."

"The only thing I can tell you right now is that Bibi Dong particularly hates your angel race. Her goal is to destroy your angel race and your faith in the Angel God."

"Impossible! You're lying to me! That woman is the Pope of the Spirit Hall! How could she possibly hate the Angel Clan!"

Qian Renxue immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up. Her pretty face was ashen, but the wavering in her eyes betrayed her, which Huo Yuhao noticed.

"Sister Xue'er, you are Bibi Dong's daughter, right? But how does she treat you? Have you ever thought about why she treats you that way? Would she really hate you for no reason? Even the most ruthless person wouldn't hate their own child for no reason."

Huo Yuhao remained expressionless as he stared at Qian Renxue.
