The carriage traveled steadily along the wide street. A gentle breeze slipped in through the gaps in the curtains, stirring the hair of several people before vanishing without a trace.
Hearing Bi Ji's words, Shen Han Yu's gaze shifted over as well. He couldn't help but frown slightly and said,
"Missing without a trace?"
"She actually has the leisure to play this kind of disappearing game at a time like this…"
"When you separated, did she leave any instructions for you, or can you determine the direction she left in?"
Bi Ji gently shook her head upon hearing this, then exchanged a glance with Zi Ji before speaking,
"It really is unknown where she went…"
"However, when we left the Great Ferocious Land, the Lord once instructed Di Tian about something. We didn't ask for the specific details. Actually… even the two of us were quite surprised that the Lord chose us two to accompany him…"
"As for the direction the Lord left in, we know even less. The Lord's strength is powerful, and her foundation and considerations are far beyond what we can imagine. If we could so easily determine the Lord's location, Zi Ji and I wouldn't have been so tense during the journey that we didn't even dare to stop, and we didn't get to properly appreciate the human world along the way…"
Bi Ji's words fell gently, her tone carrying a trace of regret, but even more so, seriousness.
Zi Ji also nodded, saying with some distress,
"Along the way, if it weren't for Big Sister Bi Ji asking for directions as we went, we might not have even made it here…"
Bi Ji rolled her eyes slightly, somewhat speechlessly saying,
"That's something only an idiot like you would encounter. I wouldn't be as stupid as you…"
Listening to the two women bickering, Shen Han Yu rubbed his brow, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes. He then said softly,
"Since Gu Yuena is still missing, you two can stay in Heaven Dou City for a while. It's perfect timing for someone to show you the prosperity of the human world properly. Consider it an alternative form of tourism. I believe you won't refuse…"
As he spoke, Shen Han Yu took out two shiny golden cards and handed one to each woman, adding,
"Most matters and transactions in the human world cannot be separated from currency. Each of these two cards contains one hundred thousand gold soul coins. Consider it my unconditional support for you. Take them…"
Bi Ji and Zi Ji thanked him softly and did not stand on ceremony with Shen Han Yu. The human world was not as free and casual as the soul beast world. If they were to wait and live in Heaven Dou City for some time, these things were essential. They didn't want to end up sleeping in dirty and chaotic alleys at night…
The carriage continued all the way to the entrance of the hotel, where they coincidentally encountered an acquaintance again.
Qian Renxue, in the appearance of Xue Qing He, was currently at the hotel entrance chatting and laughing with Shui Ning Bing about something. The Qianjun Douluo in the shadows was also watching this side.
Shui Ning Bing's peripheral gaze noticed Shen Han Yu and the Snow Empress. She turned her head, blinked lightly, and then shifted her gaze to the obviously unfamiliar Bi Ji and Zi Ji beside him. Her eyes couldn't help but become more serious.
In her perception, although these two showed not a trace of aura leaking out and seemed no different from ordinary people, the aura and temperament around them were completely different from those of ordinary people. It was not something ordinary people could possess. In other words, only powerhouses whose strength surpassed hers could give her this special feeling…
On the side, Qian Renxue slightly narrowed her eyes. The purpose of her visit today was to inform Shen Han Yu of something rather unexpected. She hadn't expected that both Shen Han Yu and the Snow Empress would be absent, but she had run into Shui Ning Bing, who finally had some free time to rest.
Both were clear about each other's identities, so there was no surprise. On the contrary, after chatting for a while, the two of them actually got along quite well, almost feeling like old friends who regretted not meeting sooner…
However, Shui Ning Bing only froze for a brief moment before quickly reacting. She smiled and asked,
"Little Yu, who are these two?"
Shen Han Yu glanced at Bi Ji and the other, then said,
"They are my friends. They've just arrived in Heaven Dou City and aren't familiar with this place. I'll trouble Aunt Shui to help entertain them for now. I see that His Highness the Crown Prince seems to have something to say. I'll explain to you later, Aunt Shui…"
As he spoke, Shen Han Yu glanced at Qian Renxue, who looked like she was about to write "I have something to say" on her face…
Hearing Shen Han Yu's words, Bi Ji smiled lightly and nodded to Shui Ning Bing in greeting. Zi Ji scratched her head and also gave a greeting.
Shui Ning Bing seemed to sense something and also smiled lightly while greeting Bi Ji and the other. She then said,
"Since they are Little Yu's friends, there's no need to be polite. You two guests, please come with me to rest for a bit. Little Yu can entertain you properly later…"
Bi Ji's gaze swept between Shen Han Yu and Qian Renxue. She then said softly,
"Then we won't disturb you. You go ahead and attend to your matters. Zi Ji and I will go take a look around…"
With that, Bi Ji pulled Zi Ji and followed Shui Ning Bing's steps. The three women quickly disappeared into the hotel lobby.
The Snow Empress's gaze landed on Qian Renxue, sizing her up. Her clear and penetrating eyes made Qian Renxue feel somewhat uncomfortable, as if she were stripped naked and thrown onto the street, feeling a sense of shame. At the same time, there was a trace of frustration from being completely suppressed by the other party in every aspect.
If Qian Renxue reverted to her original appearance at this moment, Shen Han Yu would probably find a word to describe her, no other than…
Golden-haired defeated dog…
The good thing was that the Snow Empress's gaze did not last long. After watching Qian Renxue for a while, the Snow Empress turned her head to look at Shen Han Yu beside her and said softly,
"Come back early. Don't go out fooling around…"
After saying that, the Snow Empress did not hesitate any longer. She walked straight past Qian Renxue, and the fragrant breeze she brought up blew directly onto Qian Renxue. The pleasant, light scent made even Qian Renxue unable to resist gently sniffing it…
After reacting, Qian Renxue's body stiffened uncontrollably…
Only after the Snow Empress's figure also disappeared around the corner did Shen Han Yu look at Qian Renxue and ask with some surprise,
"What's wrong again? Is there something important? Don't tell me you're going to say that Tang Hao ran away crawling?"
Two black lines suddenly dropped down Qian Renxue's forehead. She then collected her emotions and said slowly,
"We're not that useless. We can't even keep watch over a single Soul King. That would be the biggest joke. Tang Hao is currently riding his horse quite happily and has even reached the point of forgetting to return home. What I want to tell you this time, although it is still related to him on certain levels, I think you will also be interested…"
Shen Han Yu nodded upon hearing this. He pointed to the restaurant beside them and said,
"Let's talk over there. There are too many eyes and ears here. Your identity is special; this is not a place to talk."
Qian Renxue was slightly startled, then vigilantly scanned the surroundings. After confirming there was no issue, she took the lead and walked toward the restaurant. Shen Han Yu followed closely behind…
…
Inside the restaurant, Shen Han Yu and Qian Renxue sat opposite each other at a small table by the window. The table held drinks and various pastries brought by the waiter, but neither of them was interested in these.
As soon as they sat down, Shen Han Yu spoke first,
"Just say what you have to say. Don't tell me it's another request for me to work as free labor again…"
Qian Renxue wanted to roll her eyes at Shen Han Yu, but thinking of her current appearance, she forcefully held it back and said softly,
"There's a problem on the Clear Sky Sect's side…"
Shen Han Yu was slightly stunned, then said,
"What do you mean? Could it be that those turtles who hide their heads can actually declare war on your Spirit Hall…"
Qian Renxue was somewhat speechless. After a pause, she continued,
"That's not it. It's just that recently, spies from our Spirit Hall stationed in the Star Luo Empire reported discovering traces of quite a few Clear Sky Sect disciples. From the current discoveries, the strongest Clear Sky Sect member appearing within the Star Luo Empire's territory has already reached the Soul Douluo realm. I have a feeling that the Clear Sky Sect is probably about to make a big move…"
Upon hearing this, even Shen Han Yu couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised. He pondered for a moment before saying,
"Previously, I encountered Tang Chen in the Slaughter City. He was parasitized by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and trapped in the Slaughter City for decades. After I dealt with that hundred-thousand-year soul beast, he was forcibly given five more years of life by a god. Afterward, he returned to the Clear Sky Sect once and then went to Sea God Island to find Bo Saixi. I think the changes in the Clear Sky Sect are probably inseparable from him…"
Qian Renxue was fiercely startled, a trace of confusion appearing on her face. She then suddenly said,
"Wait, who did you say? Tang Chen…!? He's actually still alive…"
Shen Han Yu let out a light sigh and said,
"Of course, he's still alive. He also obtained a god trial, but he was schemed against by another god and fell at the final step of becoming a god. He has no hope of reaching the god level in this life, and he doesn't have many years left to live…"
Qian Renxue seemed to recall some things. Her expression gradually became somewhat strange. After a long while, she said,
"Although I don't know exactly what happened, you actually didn't kill him in the end? That doesn't sound like your style…"
Shen Han Yu glanced at Qian Renxue and said,
"He and your grandfather are among the few normal people. Moreover, his survival wasn't my intention. It was also a bit of compensation from the god he inherited, due to certain calculations and accidents…"
Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, then continued,
"So, according to what you mean, the changes in the Clear Sky Sect are a chain reaction caused by Tang Chen's brief return?"
Shen Han Yu nodded and said calmly,
"Tang Chen's boldness and spirit are not on the same level as the current bunch of cowards in the Clear Sky Sect. If there was his influence or some words that stimulated them, it wouldn't be a big problem for the Clear Sky Sect to choose to re-emerge and accept Tang Hao again. Of course, I think it's very possible…"
Qian Renxue's brows sank. She simply pondered the possibility of Shen Han Yu's words for a moment and said in a deep voice,
"What you said is very possible. Although I don't understand Tang Chen as a person, according to Grandfather's description, he is indeed a righteous gentleman. The specific situation is still unclear. Afterward, I will have my subordinates investigate as much as possible. If it really doesn't work, I will have Grandfather Qian Jun make a trip personally. The Clear Sky Sect has always been a major concern for our Spirit Hall. We have to guard against it…"
"As for Bo Saixi, uh…"
Qian Renxue smiled helplessly. Clearly, she also understood the twists and turns involved.
Shen Han Yu raised an eyebrow and didn't pay much attention to this matter. He simply said softly,
"You can handle this matter as you wish. But I have a kind reminder: the Clear Sky Sect currently has six Title Douluo in the world, including Sect Master Tang Xiao. Sect Master Tang Xiao should currently be a level 96 Super Douluo. The Sect's Great Elder's cultivation should be between level 94 and 95. The other four elders' levels won't be too high. For your Spirit Hall, it's indeed not that difficult. But if you're going to investigate, without a level 97 or 98, it's better to forget about it…"
Qian Renxue's face suddenly stiffened. She then said with some disbelief,
"Six Title Douluo, plus Tang Hao and Tang Chen, that makes a full eight Title Douluo. How is that possible… The Clear Sky Sect has actually secretly accumulated such power…"
Shen Han Yu spread his hands helplessly and said,
"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check. Although ordinary people can't get close to the Clear Sky Sect's residence at all…"
After a moment of silence, Qian Renxue slowly stood up and said,
"Thank you for the information you provided. Your information has been very helpful to us. I will tell Grandfather the truth. If there is any more news later, I will notify you as soon as possible…"
With that, Qian Renxue prepared to leave. But suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned her head and said softly,
"There's one more thing. Last night, around midnight, there was unusual movement from the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan outside the city. The Snake Spear Douluo happened to be sent by me to secretly resolve something outside the city. On his way back, he passed by and sensed this aura. After thinking it over several times, he still quietly prepared to go investigate. But before he could get close to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's residence, he was forced back by an incomparably powerful aura…"
"According to his description, this aura was so powerful that he couldn't imagine it. The pressure it contained made his martial soul tremble and shake wildly, and he even lost control of his martial soul for a time…"
Shen Han Yu was slightly stunned upon hearing this. Then, as if he realized something, he said softly,
"Alright, I understand. Don't pay attention to this matter anymore. It won't be a good thing for you if you continue to pay attention. If it causes any bad consequences because of this, I won't be responsible…"
A flash of sharp light passed through Qian Renxue's eyes. Her expression changed several times before she finally nodded seriously. Only then did she straighten her appearance and slowly walk away…
…
After Qian Renxue left, Shen Han Yu drank the fruit wine in his cup in one gulp. He wiped his mouth, then stood up and left.
When he returned upstairs, Shui Ning Bing and the others were already seated in the living room. From the looks of it, they were surprisingly harmonious.
Shen Han Yu coughed lightly and said,
"If there are no accidents, I actually know where Gu Yuena is…"
Bi Ji and Zi Ji suddenly raised their heads. Their astonished gazes looked straight at Shen Han Yu, seemingly shocked, or perhaps puzzled.
Shui Ning Bing temporarily suppressed her curiosity, knowing that now was not the time to ask about these things. She simply sat quietly to the side.
The Snow Empress also looked at Shen Han Yu with some surprise. Her clear and bright eyes now carried a bit of doubt as she waited for Shen Han Yu's next words…
