If possible, Xue Ye even wanted to arrange a Spirit Douluo-level guard for Li Tian, because he was afraid that Spirit Hall would play dirty.
Unfortunately.
There were only a few Spirit Douluo in the Heaven Dou Empire, and each of them had heavy responsibilities.
Even the Crown Prince didn't have one, let alone Li Tian.
There were still Spirit Bones, but with Li Tian's talent, the quality of those Spirit Bones simply wasn't worthy of him.
Dragging someone down like that couldn't be done.
Otherwise, when Li Tian realized it in the future, he might even turn around and deal with them.
Thus, all they could give him was a peerage.
Viscount, Duke, to Xue Ye, there wasn't much difference.
After all, it was just an empty title.
Without a fief, without real power, what did it matter even if he was given a Marquis title?
"Thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Li Tian didn't disdain it, after all, although there was no real power, the prestige of an Earl was higher.
Xue Ye was afraid of startling Li Tian, so he didn't continue to show favor.
Instead, he discussed the details with him, such as the title and so on.
Or a mansion, servants, and guards.
During this process, Qian Renxue said nothing, like a well-behaved child accompanying them on the side.
After everything was discussed.
Xue Ye then let Qian Renxue take Li Tian away, preparing for the official conferment during tomorrow's court session.
"What do you think?"
After Li Tian and the other person left, Xue Ye no longer had that amiable expression he had just now; he looked at the Empress and asked.
The Empress said, "Profit alone is probably not enough."
"As for profit, what we can give, others can also give, and only more."
"Marriage might be a good idea."
Xue Ye nodded and said, "Indeed, it's not bad, but he's only six years old now; let's talk about it when he grows up a bit more."
...
To facilitate his attendance at tomorrow's court session for the conferment, and for Li Tian's safety, Qian Renxue arranged for him to stay in the palace and ordered people to urgently tailor a crown robe for him.
After handling everything and exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Qian Renxue returned to her own sleeping quarters.
She Long and Ci Xue appeared together.
Qian Renxue quickly conveyed Li Tian's Spirit characteristics and her thoughts to the two of them.
"Replicating Spirits, and also replicating Spirit Abilities?"
The two of them had seen many storms, but hearing about Li Tian's situation still shocked them greatly.
This characteristic was too absurd, wasn't it?
twin spirits and such were simply weak compared to his, alright.
What was the biggest advantage of twin spirits?
Two Spirits were only one aspect; the quality of the second Spirit's spirit ring was the key.
High spirit ring quality meant strong Spirit Ability power.
Although Li Tian only had one Spirit, he could replicate countless Tool Spirits.
As long as his spirit power was sufficient.
He could continuously unleash various high-quality Spirit Abilities, making you doubt life.
twin spirits were nothing.
He could have ten, a hundred, or even a thousand Spirits; what could you use to fight him?
"If this child cannot be used by our Spirit Hall, then he must be nipped in the bud, otherwise, once he grows up, he will become a great threat."
She Long's expression was extremely grave.
Qian Renxue said, "His choice of Heaven Dou might not truly be just to replicate the Seven Kill Sword and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda; I feel that he has other ideas in his heart."
"It's just that what those specific ideas are is currently unknown."
"However, what is certain is that he is not as naive and honest as he appears on the surface."
"It would be too regrettable to simply eliminate such a Genius; we can observe and then make a decision, at least I don't feel that he harbors any ill will towards Spirit Hall."
"If there's no ill will, then there's an opportunity; it's merely a matter of operation."
Ci Xue nodded and said, "I agree."
He then looked at She Long and said, "Don't be scared by his Spirit characteristics; he's only six years old, and his spirit power Rank is only fourteen; it's still too early for him to threaten us."
She Long said speechlessly, "I just mentioned it; I didn't say I wanted to eliminate him now."
Qian Renxue continued, "As the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, I have plenty of time and opportunities to build a bond with him; once I eliminate and replace Xue Ye, he may naturally join us."
"This day will not be too far off, at least not so far that he can threaten us; if he remains stubborn then, it won't be too late to eliminate him."
"However, to be cautious, during this period, we also need to find ways to make him acknowledge Spirit Hall; only then can we eliminate that only possible barrier."
The current Qian Renxue was no longer the naive little girl she was when she first arrived in the Heaven Dou Empire.
She had absolute confidence in herself.
And absolute confidence in taking down the Heaven Dou Empire without bloodshed, without inciting war.
As for Li Tian...
No matter what schemes he harbored in his heart, Qian Renxue was confident she could handle him.
She Long asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Qian Renxue thought for a moment, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved, as if she had thought of a good idea.
...
"Qian Renxue must be thinking about how to truly win me over now, right?"
Li Tian thought to himself.
"I just don't know if she will choose to have someone from Spirit Hall incite me to betray the Heaven Dou Empire and join Spirit Hall, or if she plans to take me down herself."
"Both are possible."
"If it's the former, they should act only after I successfully replicate the Seven Kill Sword and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, as that is my reason for refusing Spirit Hall."
"At that time, I can decide based on the specific situation; if it really doesn't work, being a double agent to save my life isn't shameful."
"If it's the latter."
"If she wants to win me over herself, she can only do so as the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, which means she'll only reveal her intentions to me after she successfully takes down the Heaven Dou Empire."
The first goal of coming to the Heaven Dou Empire had been achieved; the Seven Kill Sword and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were already within reach.
Next, it was time to plan for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Dugu Bo had set up such a large poison array; it was impossible that it hadn't been discovered until now.
I wonder if anyone has made a map of Sunset Forest.
If there is, such a dangerous place should be marked on the map.
If not, he would need to find the location himself.
As for how to pass through the poison mist area, that would depend on how strong the poison mist truly was.
If it really didn't work, he could only start with Dugu Bo.
Starting with Dugu Bo carried great risks, even though he was a Genius that Xue Ye wanted to cultivate intensely.
Dugu Bo owed Xue Xing a favor, not Xue Ye.
If he was in a good mood, he could give Xue Ye Face; if he was in a bad mood, Xue Ye was nothing.
The 'Extinction Douluo' was not a joke.
Looking at the entire continent, the only ones he was wary of were top-tier Title Douluo-level combatants.
The Empire's Emperor was useless.
What if there were many troops? He would kill as many as came, until they were all slaughtered and eliminated.
To start with Dugu Bo, he needed to plan for the long term.
At least he had to ensure that even if Dugu Bo turned hostile, he could survive before making contact.
Achieving this was not easy.
However, he couldn't use all the Immortal Herbs himself, so it might not be impossible to release some to ensure his own safety.
It's just that human nature is hard to predict.
If he used Immortal Herbs as bait, it might attract another hungry wolf.
It would be better to deal with Dugu Bo alone.
