moment.
Qian Renxue picked up the teacup that Ye Qifeng had pushed in front of her, gently blew on it to cool it down, and took a small sip.
Then he slowly spoke:
"The Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia is a renowned family of physicians and also a family of support-type soul masters who produce a lot of healing-type soul masters. Among all soul master forces, it belongs to the middle level."
"Given the scarcity of healing-type Soul Masters, especially the Ye family's inherited Martial Soul, Nine Heart Begonia, which possesses wide-range healing capabilities, its strategic value is immense."
"Therefore, many forces have coveted it, and have either used coercion and enticement, hostility and targeting, or attempts to win it over and cooperate with it."
"These forces are represented by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and the Heaven Dou Royal Family."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue took a sip of fragrant tea to moisten her throat, savoring the aroma filling her mouth. She spoke softly, her breath sweet as orchids, and continued:
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a domineering and autocratic style. They consider themselves superior and often take a dominant position when dealing with the Ye family, mainly using coercion and inducement."
"So the two companies don't have a good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng thought about it carefully and realized that, given the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's style of doing things, it was indeed the case.
After all, they consider themselves a true dragon family, relying on their powerful martial spirits, so it's normal for them to look down on the Ye family, a support family with little combat strength.
At this moment, Qian Renxue continued in a melodious voice:
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, like the Ye family, is a support-type Soul Master force, and there is a competitive relationship between them. The powerful healing ability of the Nine Heart Begonia challenges the support status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School appears to be at peace with the Ye family on the surface, but in reality, they are secretly hostile and targeting them."
"Therefore, the relationship between these two companies is equally bad; it should be described as competition and hostility."
After listening and thinking for a moment, Ye Qifeng quickly understood the fundamental reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was hostile to the Ye family.
The development of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School relied on its authoritative position among support-type Soul Masters.
Its inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, is the most powerful auxiliary martial soul in the entire continent, but in terms of healing, it is completely crushed by the Ye family's inherited martial soul, the Nine Heart Begonia.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's authoritative position among auxiliary martial souls was challenged, and the development of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was also hindered as a result.
For this reason, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would naturally not let the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia go.
As Ye Qifeng pondered, Qian Renxue glanced at him, took a sip of her fragrant tea, and then said:
"As for the Heaven Dou Royal Family, due to the weakness of their inherited martial spirit, they mainly seek to win over the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia through cooperation."
"Therefore, the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia is slightly biased towards the Heavenly Dou royal family, which is mutually beneficial."
"The Heaven Dou Royal Family provides protection and convenience to the Ye Family, helping it to grow and expand, while the Ye Family supplies the Heaven Dou Royal Family with medicinal materials and provides support with healing-type Soul Masters."
"That's why Ye Huiyin, the head of the Ye family, allowed her daughter, Ye Lingling, who is also the only remaining inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia and the next head of the Ye family, to enroll in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
After listening to Qian Renxue's detailed explanation, Ye Qifeng gained a deeper understanding of the Nine Heart Begonia Ye family's situation in the Heaven Dou Empire.
He had learned some things from Liu Erlong a few days ago, but what Qian Renxue said was much more detailed.
"What about our Spirit Hall?" Ye Qifeng asked.
Qian Renxue smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Our Spirit Hall is strong enough on its own, and we don't have any covetous thoughts towards the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia. We just keep an eye on them."
"There is currently not much interaction between the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia and the Spirit Hall."
"For our Spirit Hall..."
Qian Renxue paused for a moment, "The greatest value of the Ye family lies in their inherited martial soul, the Nine Heart Begonia, which possesses a terrifyingly wide-range healing ability."
"In terms of healing ability, the Nine-Hearted Begonia can be said to be the strongest among all martial souls, a true miracle in the support world."
After praising her, Qian Renxue's tone suddenly changed. She sighed softly, her eyes filled with pity, and said:
"Unfortunately, the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul has a flaw in its inheritance. It can only be passed down in one lineage, with only one inheritor per generation. Moreover, there can only be two Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters living at the same time."
"Only when one of the two Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Masters dies can another descendant possibly appear."
"Therefore, the Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul can be said to be the Martial Soul with the fewest number among all the inherited Martial Souls of all Soul Master forces on the Douluo Continent."
"If it weren't for this, the title of the number one support-type martial soul in the soul master world might not have fallen to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"really."
Ye Qifeng nodded in agreement.
"What a pity!"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but sigh again, her tone full of regret.
"What do you think, Xue'er, about bringing the Ye family of the Nine-Hearted Begonia under our Spirit Hall's banner?"
Ye Qifeng took a sip of fragrant tea and suddenly asked a question.
"Oh? You mean you want the Ye family to submit to the Spirit Hall?"
Qian Renxue was immediately surprised upon hearing this.
"I have that idea."
Ye Qifeng nodded, then asked, "What do you think?"
Qian Renxue glanced at him in surprise, pondered for a few seconds, and then said with certainty:
"If we can get the Ye family to submit to the Spirit Hall, that would be a good thing. In that case, we can also weaken the power of the Spirit Masters in the Heaven Dou Empire."
"but"
She changed the subject and smiled:
Are you sure you can handle Ye Huiyin?
"She's not simple."
"Don't let her gentle and quiet nature fool you. She may seem weak and vulnerable, but when it comes to the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia, if pushed too far, she can turn into a tigress and devour anyone she can."
"Even with the Heaven Dou royal family, she only cooperated with them, not submitted to them."
"You want her to lead the Ye family to submit to the Spirit Hall."
"It's difficult."
"After all, Xiao Feng, I think you understand what surrender means."
"Of course I understand." Ye Qifeng nodded.
Submission means completely binding the entire family to the power it submits to, thus becoming labeled as belonging to that power and subject to its command and control.
Of course, in return, they will receive the protection of the forces they submit to, as well as some substantial benefits that exceed what their own power can obtain.
For example, resources, power, or status, etc.
In the Douluo Continent, a world where strength reigns supreme, submitting to and relying on more powerful Soul Master forces is also a way of survival for many small and medium-sized Soul Master forces to survive, multiply, and pass on their legacy.
"How will you know if you don't try? Maybe it will work."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly.
"Oh? You have a way?"
Qian Renxue looked at Ye Qifeng in surprise.
To be honest, she had considered taking over the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia, but she couldn't find any way to do so, so she gave up.
"Actually, it shouldn't be difficult to subdue the Ye family."
Ye Qifeng said meaningfully.
"How so?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately put down her teacup, her eyes widening slightly with great interest.
"It's simple. We just need to help them resolve the inheritance flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul."
Ye Qifeng smiled faintly and said confidently.
"."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was slightly speechless and couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Looking at how confident you were, I thought you had some unique method. Is this all you have?"
It's no secret that the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul has inheritance flaws.
There are rumors that the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul was cursed because it was too powerful, which caused the inheritance to be flawed and made it so rare.
This rumor is known to many Soul Master factions.
But knowing this is one thing; resolving the inheritance flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul is no simple task, no, it should be said that it is almost impossible.
To date, no one has found a solution.
The Ye family of the Nine-Heart Begonia has existed for quite some time, and despite the efforts of generation after generation, they have been unable to find any solution.
Qian Renxue didn't believe Ye Qifeng's claim that solving the inheritance flaws of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul would suffice, and her first reaction was to roll her eyes.
But looking at Ye Qifeng's calm and smiling expression, for some reason, she suddenly believed him a little more, and even felt a little hopeful.
So she tentatively asked:
"Could it be that you really have a way, Xiao Feng?"
"Hmm, I have some ideas."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly and replied with a smile, "But whether it will work out or not, we'll have to wait and see."
Hopefully, we can find the corresponding celestial herbs at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Ye Qifeng had already identified this celestial herb as the Jade Flower Begonia, which is known for its elegant reputation of "remaining serene amidst the chaos of flowers."
Its greatest function is to remove curses.
In addition, this herb is also extremely compatible with the Nine-Heart Begonia.
"oh."
Qian Renxue was slightly disappointed not to hear any specific solution, but she did not press for further details.
Ye Qifeng's silence must have its reasons; we'll just have to see what he does then.
Without thinking much, he picked up the teacup and sipped the remaining fragrant tea, one mouthful after another.
"Xue'er, don't you need to go back and handle the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire today?"
Ye Qifeng changed the subject, pouring tea for Qian Renxue while asking a question.
"No need, I'm resting today."
Qian Renxue smiled slightly, thinking to herself that she had actually been working overtime to make time to see him, and had quickly and efficiently dealt with all the recent government affairs.
"I see."
Ye Qifeng thought for a moment and asked:
"It's rare that you have time, Xue'er. How about we go out for a walk? Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
"Wherever you are, that's where I want to go," Qian Renxue blinked, looked at Ye Qifeng, and said softly.
"I'm quite familiar with Tiandou City, so there's nothing in particular I'd like to go to."
"Xiao Feng, tell me where you want to go?"
"Sister Erlong asked me to show you around Tiandou City before. I happen to have some time now, so I'll take you there."
"Well"
Ye Qifeng was taken aback. He remembered that before Liu Erlong left, she seemed to have whispered to Qian Renxue for a while. So that's what they were talking about.
He hesitated for a second, then said:
Actually, there's nowhere I really want to go.
"However, my original plan for today was to stroll around the West City."
"West City?"
Qian Renxue murmured a sentence.
Of the major districts of Tiandou City, the West District was the one she was least familiar with.
In fact, she didn't leave the palace very often, and the number of times she came to Xicheng could be counted on one hand.
I spent the most time exploring the central imperial city, followed by the southern city where the Crown Prince's residence was located, then the eastern and northern cities, and finally the western city.
West City is the poorest district in the entire Tiandou City, and it is also the location of the slums. Ninety-nine percent of the people living here are commoners, including many homeless people.
Almost all the crimes in Tiandou City are concentrated in the West City.
This place is a den of iniquity, home to all sorts of scoundrels and monsters; chaos and disorder are vividly displayed in the West City.
The Heavenly Dou royal family did not value Xicheng as a place for the poor. In their eyes, how could the royal family, as representatives of the Heavenly Dou nobles and rulers of the empire, associate with the lowly?
Therefore, Qian Renxue, who was disguised as the Crown Prince of Tiandou, rarely appeared in the West City.
"Let's take a stroll around West City then."
After a moment, Qian Renxue clapped her hands and said sweetly.
She was also eager to see what West City was like.
Look at the ordinary people here. Apart from the well-ordered areas, how are the people living in the other areas?
In the past, every time she came to Xicheng, it was in accordance with Emperor Xueye's orders to supervise and inspect government affairs, and she was always surrounded by a large number of guards.
They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.
The places we stayed in were all well-ordered areas, and the time we spent there was very short, so we didn't have time to carefully observe and understand the specific situation in Xicheng.
"In that case, let's finish this pot of fragrant tea and then leave."
Ye Qifeng nodded and said.
The teapot wasn't big, and there wasn't much fragrant tea inside, so the two of them finished it quickly.
Qian Renxue didn't drink much, just took two sips.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting anything, the rest all ended up in Ye Qifeng's stomach.
Not long after.
The two got up from the sofa, ready to leave.
"Xue'er, are you really going out like this?"
At this moment, Ye Qifeng pointed to Qian Renxue's golden palace dress.
"Hmm? What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Qian Renxue looked at him with a puzzled expression, glanced down at her clothes, and at the same time, a series of three questions popped out from her red lips.
This is a huge problem!
Ye Qifeng muttered to himself, then coughed twice and quickly explained:
"Ahem, your outfit is too alluring; it might attract some trouble."
"Shall I change my appearance?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue blushed slightly, realizing the meaning behind Ye Qifeng's words.
The words had barely left his mouth.
A sudden burst of dazzling golden light illuminated the entire living room, bathing it in a golden glow.
next moment.
The golden light dissipated.
Ye Qifeng looked up and his breath hitched; he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Ahem, Xue'er, what happened to you?"
He was dumbfounded.
On the other side, the blonde beauty in the palace dress had vanished.
Instead, there was a beautiful black-haired woman with exquisite features, an extremely hot figure, and a black fitted dress.
That's Liu Erlong, isn't it?
Yes, Qian Renxue transformed into Liu Erlong's appearance.
"Don't you like it?"
A smile curved Liu Erlong's lips, a mischievous glint in his eyes, and a refreshing tone in his voice.
"Is this a matter of liking or disliking? Stop joking, try a different look."
Night Seven Wind silently stroked his forehead.
"All right."
"Liu Erlong" stuck out his tongue.
The dazzling golden light shone once more, bathing the living room in its golden hue.
