Before long, a maid came to report.
The Heaven DouCrown Prince, Xue Qinghe, is visiting!
Yang Yuan received the news and smiled faintly.
Sister Xueer's information is quite sharp; he had only just returned to Prince Qis Mansion for a short while, and she had already come looking for him.
But to be honest, not having seen her for more than half a year, Yang Yuan also missed Qian Renxue very much. He then informed Dugu Bo and Old Jerry and went to see Qian Renxue alone.
Gu Yuena watched Yang Yuan's departing back, her lips curling slightly.
Just because others couldn't see through Qian Renxue's disguise didn't mean she couldn't.
Yang Yuan was in such a hurry to see this woman, most likely he wasn't up to anything good.
At this thought, she couldn't help but think of the faint sound on Sea God Island, like the soft chirping of a warbler.
That night, she hadn't been able to sleep the whole night.
Meanwhile, Yang Yuan had already met Qian Renxue.
The latter dismissed her attendants, then went to a quiet pavilion with Yang Yuan and restored her original appearance.
The restored Qian Renxue threw herself directly into Yang Yuan's embrace. Noble and holy as she seemed, at this moment, she showed a small womanly side before Yang Yuan, her eyes shimmering with brilliant golden light, filled with love and longing.
"Little Brother Xiao Yuan, you're finally back!"
Yang Yuan held Qian Renxue's soft lower back.
"It's my fault for making Sister Xueer wait so long for me again."
"During these days outside, I thought of Sister Xueer every single moment."
Qian Renxue let out a coquettish huff.
"You only know how to make me happy."
Even so, Qian Renxue's beautiful face was filled with sweetness.
Her lover's sweet words were better than anything else to her, making the tide of love in her eyes surge even more violently as she kissed Yang Yuan's lips directly.
Seeing the love on her face and the misty haze in her eyes, Yang Yuan understood instantly.
Say no more!
Time to hand in the homework!
...After their intimacy, Qian Renxue's snowy white cheeks were flushed with red; amidst her divinity, there was a touch of humanity, like a goddess descending to the mortal world.
In bed, Yang Yuan's sweet talk came easily, sometimes even a bit crude, but Qian Renxue didn't show the slightest dislike, giggling from time to time or casting a few charming eye-rolls at Yang Yuan.
After lingering for a long time, she turned the topic elsewhere, talking about what had happened over the past half year.
First, her power was growing. With Emperor Xue Ye "terminally ill," she only had to wait for his death to naturally take over the entire Empire.
Yang Yuan knew the so-called "terminal illness" was just a cover. Although Qian Renxue was holy and gentle before him, her methods with outsiders were definitely ruthless; otherwise, Emperor Xue Ye's other two princes wouldn't have suddenly died.
Obviously, Emperor Xue Ye was also about to follow suit.
The reason was simple: Qian Renxue could no longer wait.
She wanted to ascend to that position as quickly as possible, then drastically purge the court and stabilize the situation so she could return to Spirit Hall to undergo the Angelic Trial with peace of mind.
Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Is there anything you need from me?"
Hearing this, a flash of pride and confidence crossed Qian Renxue's pretty face.
"Everything is under my control."
Yang Yuan nodded. He had seen a glimpse of the future and knew Qian Renxue was destined to succeed; after all, in this life, no one was disrupting things.
Even if someone did, with him here, who would dare to jump out?
Besides this, Qian Renxue also mentioned many interesting anecdotes she had learned over the past half year.
She had established an intelligence network exclusive to her, and all matters in Heaven Dou City, large and small, were under her control.
Yang Yuan listened with a smile.
However, one of the matters piqued his interest.
Yu Xiaogang had actually been kicked out of Shrek Academy.
Yang Yuan rarely paid attention to Shrek's situation. Only now did he learn from Qian Renxue that the students who participated in the competition back then had each developed problems; the side effects of the secret medicine had erupted, and their cultivation had stagnated.
Because Yu Xiaogang was Tang San's teacher, he was resented by Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others.
Because Flender and Liu Erlong were there, this resentment was forcibly suppressed.
But as time passed, this resentment was not dissipated by time; instead, it was suppressed deeper and deeper, eventually erupting like a long-dormant volcano.
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were also ruthless; taking advantage of Flender and Liu Erlong's inattention, they knocked Yu Xiaogang unconscious and sent him to be a gigolo.
The ending was predictable.
In particular, Yu Xiaogang's status as a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was also exposed. Although he had long been removed from the Family, it was still a major scandal for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, causing a storm in Heaven Dou City and becoming gossip for countless people.
Because of this, Yu Yuanzhen was furious and ordered people to hunt down Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun.
Shrek Academy was in complete chaos because of this; countless students applied to withdraw, and it couldn't be suppressed.
As for the teachers of Shrek, many were secretly cheering in their hearts over Yu Xiaogang's misfortune.
Flender and Liu Erlong were caught in the middle.
Ultimately, because of their guilt toward Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, the two couldn't bring themselves to seek revenge for Yu Xiaogang.
However, because of their friendship with Yu Xiaogang, they didn't forgive Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun either, and expelled them from Shrek Academy.
But after all, they were once teacher and student; the Shrek teachers still secretly helped them escape the pursuit of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
This was also because the Spirit Douluos and Titled Douluos of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan didn't act; otherwise, even with secret help, they wouldn't have been able to escape.
As for the final whereabouts of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, whether they were dead or alive, Qian Renxue didn't know either.
Yu Xiaogang also left Shrek Academy and his whereabouts were unknown.
After listening, Yang Yuan didn't show any expression of schadenfreude, just treating it as a bit of fun.
Not long after.
Qian Renxue returned to the Crown Princes Mansion and officially implemented her plan.
In just three days, news of Emperor Xue Ye's death came from the Heaven Dou Palace, followed immediately by news of Crown PrinceXue Qinghe's succession.
This efficiency made even Yang Yuan look at her with new respect.
Immediately afterward, there was a purge that shocked both the court and the entire Heaven Dou City.
Countless corrupt officials and decadent nobles were rounded up in one fell swoop.
Countless harsh policies and laws were also revised.
People like Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng were purged; their past crimes were listed one by one, and they were eventually stripped of their status and demoted to commoners.
Undoubtedly, Qian Renxue's actions harmed the interests of countless people, so even knowing that Yang Yuan stood behind her, there were still those who wanted to take risks.
After all, everyone knew that "Xue Qinghe's" strength was not very great.
In just three months, Qian Renxue was assassinated eighteen times, with as many as four Spirit Saints involved.
Pity, they all died mysteriously.
This also caused many people to be wary, and they even turned their attention to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, hoping Ning Fengzhi could advise "Xue Qinghe."
In fact, Ning Fengzhi was not very satisfied with Qian Renxue's drastic reforms either, as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had also lost a lot of interests because of it.
But Ning Fengzhi was a smart man; he didn't rush to find Qian Renxue, but instead visited Prince Qis Mansion.
After getting some hints from Yang Yuan, he went all-in and fully supported Qian Renxue's reforms.
Finally, after another three months, Heaven Dou Empire passed through the bloody purge of the reform's Early Stage, the new imperial laws were promulgated, and the reforms began to show initial results.
During this period, Yang Yuan did not take action; he mostly served as a deterrent.
Because both he and Qian Renxue knew that supreme martial force could only maintain order for a time.
Yang Yuan, Qian Renxue, and the others would eventually leave Douluo Continent and could not monitor the situation there at all times.
Only a system that keeps pace with the times and is constantly improved can allow the Empire to continue functioning after they leave.
