Chapter 141 I'll Teach You, This is How an Undercover Agent Should Be Done

Under Qian Renxue's gaze, Han Li slowly spoke:

"First of all, I think the undercover plan is feasible to some extent."

Qian Renxue smiled, but the smile froze on her face after he said his next sentence.

"But I have to say, the person who chose you to carry out this plan was a bit foolish. Of course, I'm not talking about you, after all, how old were you at the time? You couldn't have chosen it yourself, could you?"

Han Li looked at Qian Renxue with an expression that said, "No way, there really are such idiots," blocking her from speaking up.

Qian Renxue's fist hardened, but she still forced a smile and said, "Yes, you can continue."

"Well, that's good. Even the eldest master is against it, so it's just the Pope. Sigh, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Han Li sighed, his gaze towards her filled with a sense of pity, making Qian Renxue feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Why was she in such a hurry? To send you out to go undercover when you were only nine years old."

"With your talent—oh, my senior uncle told me you had innate soul power level 20. If you had cultivated diligently before, you should be around Soul Douluo level by now, right?"

"If you were to infiltrate now, wouldn't the risk be greatly reduced, and wouldn't it also not delay your cultivation speed?"

Han Li spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, which made Qian Renxue nod unconsciously.

What he said seemed to make some sense. Qian Renxue was a little dazed. So, she really was stupid?

If it weren't for Han Li's immortal herbs and Qian Daoliu's occasional stimulation, which increased her cultivation time, she might not even have reached the Soul Saint level by now.

For a moment, Qian Renxue began to question the meaning of life.

"So, I should give up my undercover work and go back to train properly?"

She lowered her head, her expression unreadable, and murmured to herself.

Um?Um?Um?

Hearing her words, Han Li felt a little dizzy. He had already been very restrained, how could she still confuse him like that?

The shock was too much; it completely damaged her mind. Should we give up now? Is she alright?

You've already wasted most of the time you could have spent cultivating. Do you think you can make up for it by giving up now?

Then, you've wasted ten years here, and now you're giving up? Are you planning to end up pleasing neither side? To have your efforts wasted in vain?

While Sendou Ryu did have this intention, it was more because he understood her personality and wanted her to make changes so that she wouldn't devote all her energy to politics and put the cart before the horse.

Why hasn't he hit Qian Renxue yet? He only said a few words casually, and this silly girl's mental state has already gone wrong?

"Hey, are you alright?"

Han Li looked at Qian Renxue with some trepidation, noticing her strange reaction.

Fortunately, Qian Renxue was just too shocked, since no one her age had ever called her stupid to her face, and she found it hard to accept.

She regained her senses after hearing Han Li greet her.

"I understand your thoughts, but anyway, I won't give up."

Qian Renxue said something stubbornly, it was unclear whether she was speaking to Han Li or to herself.

"Yeah, it's good that you didn't give up."

Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. Things were fine as they were. He shouldn't give up on him just because of a few casual remarks.

"Didn't you think it was stupid? Then why did you say I didn't give up?"

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before finishing her sentence.

"Of course! I just felt there were some inappropriate things before, but you've been undercover for ten years now, no, eleven years. Wouldn't it be even more pointless to give up now?"

"However, you really should devote more energy to cultivation. You've already stabilized the overall situation and established a good reputation and image, so why continue to waste time on this?"

Han Li was afraid of making her lose her mind again, so he used much more tactful language.

"However, because of what happened back then, Xueye still doesn't have a very good impression of me. Although it's not to the point of being exposed, I still have to do what a crown prince should do. Only in this way can I realize my subsequent plans."

Qian Renxue shook her head, her words tinged with bitterness.

This is what they call being blinded by one's own involvement; she has completely identified with the identity of a crown prince and has been greatly influenced by it.

She seemed more like a politician than a Soul Master, Han Li thought to himself.

"Didn't anyone remind you to just take out Avalanche and Snowstar?" Han Li asked directly.

"Yes, but I felt that would be more detrimental to the subsequent plans and would cause Xueye to strongly reject it, so I didn't choose to do that."

Qian Renxue answered honestly.

"Didn't you think of that? After eliminating them all, the only heir to Xue Ye would be yourself, the one you were impersonating, Xue Qinghe? You should have already rendered him infertile, right?"

"Even if he becomes more resistant and suspicious of you, does he still have a choice? Can he pass the throne to someone else? What you need to do is be more assertive, and even show him your desire for the throne."

"When the time is right, we can force him to abdicate, or just kill him. The Xingluo clan is such an obvious example; can't you just copy their example?"

"Do you really intend to remain the crown prince for thirty years? Or are you prepared to spend another ten years, or even more, playing the games of the nobility with them?"

Han Li sighed, speaking very bluntly.

Qian Renxue was stunned by his words, which opened a new door for her. She realized that undercover agents could be so blatant.

Having already said what he was going to say, Han Li didn't intend to only tell half the story. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Aren't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School also very interested in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Then let's make use of them. Ning Fengzhi is still your teacher; aren't they the best candidates?"

"Next, you just need to subtly reveal your desire for the throne in front of him."

"One is a crown prince who desperately needs support and has great faith in him, along with the title of future imperial tutor; the other is an emperor who plays mind games with him every day, a cunning old fox. Which side will he lean towards, and on which side will the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gain more benefits? You should know very well without me saying it."

"Perhaps, you won't even have to lift a finger; the avalanche and the snow star will just die in an accident."

A faint smile played on Han Li's lips.

"What if Ning Fengzhi isn't in a hurry either, and to maintain stability, he still sides with Xue Ye? Or, wouldn't it be more troublesome if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gained more power in the Heavenly Battle?"

Qian Renxue subconsciously pressed for an answer.

"Even if he's on Xueye's side, your situation won't get any worse. So let's take matters into our own hands and eliminate Xue Beng and Xue Xing. I told you, he has no choice. Afterwards, whether you choose to lie low and work hard to improve your cultivation or do something else, the throne will ultimately fall to you."

"As for if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School tries to interfere more, can't you just ask the Spirit Hall for help? It's simpler and faster, and I'd love for them to do that."

Han Li laughed heartily, and also with a ruthless grin.

To be honest, if he weren't currently focused on improving himself and not in the mood to joke around with these people, he would really like to have a personal duel with Ning Fengzhi.

I'd like to know what kind of mental state he was in to say something like "He who obtains the master obtains the world." To be honest, even if it's just flattery, it's still a bit disgraceful for the head of a sect.

But that doesn't stop him from coming up with ideas and asking the little angel to help him find some fun.
