Douluo Continent: Ice Phoenix Rebuilds Her Skills and Enrolls in Tianshui Academy

Chapter 43 Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage, A Thousand-Foot Snow-Capped Peak; Courtesy and Respectful Demeanor, Tranquil and Refined

Looking directly at Chu Han, Qian Renxue's gaze was sincere.

"Young Brother Chu Han, I know you must have special talents, although I don't know what it is about me that you dislike..."

"But my sincerity will never change."

Qian Renxue was composed and had a very approachable smile.

"I look forward to the day when you can join me and we can change the world together."

"When that time comes, I will definitely sleep side by side with you and talk all night long!"

This greatly surprised Ning Fengzhi, who was standing beside him.

They looked at Chu Han with new respect.

The Crown Prince of Tiandou has always had an accurate eye for people, and now that he has achieved this level of skill, Chu Han must have some value that makes the Crown Prince so willing to do this.

Could it be that this young man's amazing qualities go far beyond this?

Chu Han didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and said lazily:

"Your Highness is very kind, but I think I may never have this opportunity in this lifetime."

"Hehe, you jest, sir..."

This time, Qian Renxue even changed her form of address, calling Chu Han "Mr."

This shows how much he values ​​it.

Logically speaking, anyone else would have been moved long ago.

"I'm not some kind of teacher. I'm only twelve years old. How could I possibly be a teacher?"

"Those who are accomplished are teachers, and those who are knowledgeable are mentors."

Qian Renxue smiled slightly, "Sir, you certainly deserve this title."

Chu Han was getting impatient. Why was Qian Renxue targeting him?

It's like a stubborn plaster, impossible to shake off.

"What do you want from me before you leave?"

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up slightly, and she had another thought of testing the waters.

Chu Han's strength is undoubtedly that of a genius, and his alchemy skills are beyond question. This time, let's test his vision.

Perhaps it was because he was precocious and saw through the ways of the world that he disliked fame and fortune;

Or is it just a pretense of profundity?

If it's the latter, Qian Renxue doesn't need to pay too much attention; if it's the former, she's determined to have Chu Han.

"I would like to ask you a question, young man."

Chu Han: "..."

He discovered that Qian Renxue was incredibly shameless; the name had changed from Chu Han to Little Brother, then to Teacher, and now it was back to Little Teacher.

"Ask your questions and then leave. Don't get in the way."

"Ask your questions and then leave!"

Qian Renxue spoke with unwavering resolve.

"Then ask away."

Qian Renxue frowned and pondered for a while. What she cared about most was, of course, whether the Spirit Hall's century-long plan could succeed.

However, this is clearly a question that cannot be asked directly.

After carefully considering her words, Qian Renxue asked:

"Young sir, do you believe that the Heavenly Dou Empire will prosper or decline in the future?"

Please state the specific reasons.

After a moment's thought, Chu Han realized that Qian Renxue, though seemingly asking about the Heavenly Dou Empire, was actually inquiring about the future of the continent.

He chuckled dismissively. "Everything reaches its extreme and then declines. Isn't the Heavenly Dou Empire already on the decline?"

"You haven't given me the specific reasons yet. Since you believe that Tiandou will decline, what exactly are the reasons? Is it internal corruption or external threats?"

Qian Renxue pressed for answers.

Chu Han said meaningfully, "The tree was infested with maggots, and lumberjacks were cutting it down below. Who do you think caused the tree to die?"

"The balance has long been broken. It is only because of the powerful inertia that the giant has barely not fallen. But it is swaying and the day when it falls is not far away."

Chu Han waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go!"

Surprisingly, Qian Renxue stopped pestering him and instead became calm and thoughtful as she walked outside.

After leaving, Qian Renxue let out a long sigh.

"I never imagined that a young man could see through the affairs of the world so clearly."

The Porcupine Douluo was puzzled as to why his young master would say such a thing.

Qian Renxue glanced at him and explained, "The 'big tree' he's referring to is the Heavenly Dou Empire. Internal corruption will eventually lead to the empire's demise, but the external threats right now will destroy the Heavenly Dou Empire before it collapses due to corruption!"

"If that were all, I could have assumed he was saying that Tian Dou was no match for Xing Luo, but the key is what he said next..."

Qian Renxue murmured to herself:

"The balance has long been broken."

"It is only because of the strong historical inertia that the Heavenly Battle has survived."

"Doesn't it mean that the Spirit Hall is too powerful, and if it were to make a move, it might become an enemy of most of the major powers on the continent, so it's holding back and waiting for the right opportunity?"

The Porcupine Douluo then awoke with a start and exclaimed:

"That boy was actually talking about the Spirit Hall?"

"How did he know about our plan...?"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly. "What are you shouting about?"

"That young man could not possibly know about my Spirit Hall's plans; it was merely a matter of grasping the general trend of the world. He can indeed be called a genius of the world."

Fortunately, the Porcupine Douluo had already sealed off the surrounding area, so pedestrians couldn't hear his conversation with Qian Renxue.

He realized what was happening and whispered:

"Young Master, so, it's precisely because he knows all this that he's unwilling to get too close to you?"

Qianrenxue sighed softly.

"Yes, he seems to think that the Spirit Hall will win, so of course he is unwilling to have too close contact with me, the so-called Crown Prince of Heaven Dou."

The Porcupine Douluo said, neither laughing nor crying:

"But this young man could never have imagined that you, Young Master, are actually the Young Master of the Spirit Hall. Logically speaking, the Holy Maiden should be you..."

Unfortunately, His Holiness the Pope and the young master were at odds, so he deliberately passed the position of Holy Maiden to an outsider, and even repeatedly showed favoritism towards the Holy Maiden in front of the young master.

It's as if the young master isn't His Holiness the Pope's biological daughter, but the saintess who has no blood relation to him is the Pope's biological daughter.

Qian Renxue's eyes darkened slightly, and she said unhappily:

"Don't say these things again in the future."

She stopped thinking about her worries and a smile of extreme interest appeared on her lips.

"To be honest, I am indeed looking forward to it."

"If I were to appear before him one day in my true identity, what expression should he have?"

Chu Han must be stunned.

I wonder if, amidst his surprise, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes?

"Interesting, I'll come visit him again in a few days."

"Young Master..."

The Porcupine Douluo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He always felt that the young master's excessive attention to a boy was not necessarily a good thing.

Even if that boy was mysterious and knowledgeable...

Uh, does this seem worse?

Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback, her expression changed, and she said seriously:

"I just wanted to see if he still had any unique and insightful perspectives."

"Such a talented person should be put to my use!"

The Porcupine Douluo had nothing to say.

I hope it really is as the young master said, that it's simply because of love for talent...

……

After Qian Renxue left as promised.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Chu Han with burning eyes.

It was so hot it was almost offensive.

It wasn't until Chu Han coughed softly that Ning Fengzhi seemed to snap out of his daze...
