"Then we'll deal with the Star Luo Empire afterward," Jiang Chen continued from Qian Renxue's words.
Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Our Spirit Hall is sandwiched between the two great empires. If we start a war, we'll definitely be attacked from both sides. So we can only carry out a plan to defeat them one by one."
Jiang Chen nodded. "I understand. Did you use poison on Xue Ye?"
"Yes. Our Spirit Hall has an extremely skilled poison master. The mixed toxin he created cannot be detected by anyone. No one will discover that Xue Ye has been poisoned. That old thing probably won't hand over power to me until he's about to die."
At this point, Qian Renxue seemed somewhat dissatisfied, her brows slightly furrowed.
It was a slow-acting poison. To quietly wear Xue Ye down until death would probably take several more years.
But as long as they could successfully control the Heaven Dou Empire, everything would be worth it.
Jiang Chen secretly shook his head. Qian Renxue was meticulous, but she had ultimately overlooked Xue Beng, the fourth prince, who was pretending to be crazy and foolish.
If Jiang Chen hadn't known the plot, he would probably have overlooked this guy if he were in Qian Renxue's position.
Moreover, the poison Qian Renxue had given Xue Ye was not foolproof. In the original plot, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo discovered the secret of Xue Ye's poisoning after attaching himself to Prince Xue Xing to repay a favor.
But with Jiang Chen, the prophet, here, there was no need to fear any accidents.
Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing would have to be dealt with sooner or later, but there was no rush.
Poison Douluo had now also pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong still didn't fully trust Dugu Bo and had always wanted to transfer him to Spirit City.
However, Dugu Bo refused to go to Spirit City, using the excuse that he still owed Prince Xue Xing a favor.
Jiang Chen had already asked Bibi Dong about these details earlier.
Dugu Bo valued promises highly; it was reasonable for him to want to repay the favor before heading to Spirit City.
"It seems I need to find a way to make him repay that favor as soon as possible. That way, I can also see whether he truly has no disloyalty toward Spirit Hall," Jiang Chen decided inwardly.
"By the way, do you know that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo has already joined our Spirit Hall?" Jiang Chen asked.
Qian Renxue nodded to indicate she knew, and finally turned her face toward him. Her eyes looked at Jiang Chen with a strange gleam.
"I heard that Dugu Bo joining us was thanks to you?"
Jiang Chen chuckled with a somewhat proud expression. "It was just a small effort, nothing worth mentioning."
"Look at how capable you think you are," Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him, but inwardly, she couldn't help feeling amazed at Jiang Chen.
This little guy from back then was truly becoming more and more impressive.
"Although Dugu Bo has joined us, he's still staying by Prince Xue Xing's side. We can't tell him any core secrets, and he doesn't know my true identity," Qian Renxue said.
"So, if you want to stay by my side, you can't appear with your current face anymore, because he recognizes you."
As she spoke, she flipped her palm and handed Jiang Chen a mask.
"This is specially made for you. It can change your appearance and also block spiritual power detection."
"Human skin mask?" Jiang Chen asked.
Although he had killed many people, wearing a human skin on his face every day would still feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"It's not human skin, but its appearance and texture are very similar to human skin," Qian Renxue explained.
"Put it on and try it."
"Isn't that bad? My handsome and elegant appearance will be covered up," Jiang Chen boasted shamelessly, not blushing at all.
He carefully stroked it. The mask's texture really felt as soft as skin, even smoother than his own face.
"Don't worry, how could I bear to turn you into an ugly monster?" Qian Renxue smiled, then suddenly realized her words sounded a bit off.
Her pretty face blushed slightly, and she stopped speaking.
Jiang Chen's attention was on the mask, so he didn't notice her abnormality.
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, his interest grew. He took the mask and tried to put it on his face.
Unfortunately, it was his first time handling this kind of thing, and he couldn't find the right position.
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him. "Look at how clumsy you are. Let me help you."
She walked in front of Jiang Chen. Her soft, smooth hands held the mask and carefully helped him adjust it properly.
Jiang Chen sat in the chair, staring at the bountiful sight right in front of him at such close range, unable to look away.
He didn't even notice Qian Renxue's soft little hand brushing across his cheek.
"Hmm? Why are you staring so wide-eyed?" Qian Renxue asked in confusion. Following Jiang Chen's gaze, she finally discovered the truth.
"Good grief, you've gotten bold!" Qian Renxue scolded playfully. She reached out and twisted Jiang Chen's ear, dragging him to the dressing table.
"Look for yourself," Qian Renxue said irritably.
Jiang Chen rubbed his ear and laughed. "Sister is too beautiful. I just can't help it."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue wanted to teach him a lesson; this guy was getting more and more arrogant.
Suddenly, her eyes sparkled, and she asked, "Am I prettier than that vixen of a senior sister of yours?"
Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes. You're prettier than my senior sister."
He was telling the truth. Qian Renxue's looks were indeed a level above Hu Liena's.
Qian Renxue didn't consider whether Jiang Chen's words were true or false. She felt a bit happy inside. Who doesn't like being told they're beautiful?
Jiang Chen shifted his gaze away from Qian Renxue and looked at his new face in the mirror.
Seeing this unfamiliar face, he was first stunned, then showed a satisfied smile.
The smile was bright and looked very warm.
The face before him had handsome features and a charming smile, with some resemblance to his original appearance.
"Is it okay?" Qian Renxue smiled.
"Not bad. It's not much worse than my original face," Jiang Chen said as he stroked his face. The texture was incredibly smooth.
Even though he was wearing a mask, every subtle expression on his face could still show through.
"So what identity are you going to arrange for me?" Jiang Chen looked at Qian Renxue expectantly.
"Did your teacher give you any tasks?" Qian Renxue asked first.
Jiang Chen shook his head. "Teacher told me to stay by your side and learn how to scheme and plot against people."
"Why does it sound so off when you say it?" Qian Renxue poked Jiang Chen's head with her finger.
She continued, "Then you can stay by my side as a guard."
"Personal bodyguard?" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
"Personal my ass," Qian Renxue scolded with a laugh.
"I only have eight personal guards, all absolutely loyal to Spirit Hall. You will be the ninth."
Jiang Chen's heart stirred. "Do they know your true identity?"
Qian Renxue shook her head. "They don't. They only know I'm a high-ranking member of Spirit Hall and don't even know I'm a woman. They were simply ordered to protect my safety."
"I've already arranged your background for you. Take a look."
Qian Renxue took out a thick stack of documents and tossed them to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen caught them and glanced through them briefly.
The documents stated that he was a wandering soul master and clearly detailed his origin and background.
"You need to memorize it as soon as possible," Qian Renxue instructed.
"How am I supposed to join your guards?" Jiang Chen asked.
Qian Renxue pointed at the documents in his hand. "It's explained there. You are a distant relative of my guard captain. He recommended you to me."
"Go back and read the documents a few more times. Memorize them. Tomorrow or the day after, I'll have the guard captain come find you."
"Go back? Go back where?" Jiang Chen was a bit confused.
Qian Renxue glanced at him sideways. "Of course, back to that small courtyard. Or did you think you could stay overnight in my boudoir?"
Jiang Chen chuckled and rubbed his hands. "We haven't seen each other in so long. I want to have a long talk with my sister through the night."
"Get lost."
"I still have many nice stories."
"Fine. Tell me two, then get lost."
