Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Shocking News: Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue Suspected of Forming an Alliance?
The evil soul master search teams, which had once been respected and welcomed, had now become utterly despised and avoided.
Now, most people would avoid the evil soul master search teams like the plague, or even like evil soul masters themselves.
Yes, in the eyes of many lower-level soul masters, the evil soul master search teams were no different from cruel evil soul masters.
This shows just how much fear and oppression the evil soul master search teams had brought to the lower-level soul masters.
In Spirit City, when Bibi Dong learned that her "good daughter" had, upon becoming the acting Pope, immediately done something so provocative, she was filled with rage.
But under Qian Daoliu’s intervention, Bibi Dong could do nothing but watch as this unfolded.
Finally, forced into a corner, she could only choose to intensify the evil soul master capture operations in other empires and kingdoms.
Since she couldn’t control the Heaven Dou Empire, she could only vent her frustrations on the Star Luo Empire...
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, unlike Bibi Dong’s gloom and anger, Emperor Xue Ye was delighted and surprised by his Crown Prince’s actions.
The reason was simple: Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had managed to form a strategic cooperation with the Spirit Hall’s Holy Maiden.
After all, that was the Spirit Hall’s Holy Maiden, someone destined to become the next Pope.
And she had so readily cooperated with his son.
At this moment, Emperor Xue Ye even began to suspect that the Holy Maiden, Qian Renxue, had taken a liking to his Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe.
Otherwise, why would she agree to such cooperation?
Thus, for a while, Emperor Xue Ye subtly hinted to Xue Qinghe that he should pay more attention to Qian Renxue. If Xue Qinghe could really marry Qian Renxue, the Spirit Hall’s Holy Maiden, then the future of the Heaven Dou Empire would be bright!!
Once Qian Renxue became Pope, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall could join forces, with one providing troops and the other high-level soul masters. What would there be to fear from the Star Luo Empire?!
They could crush it in no time!!
As for Emperor Xue Ye’s hints, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, understood his meaning and felt utterly helpless.
She couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
"This Emperor Xue Ye, he’s so old he dares to dream of anything. I only took on the roles of both Crown Prince and acting Pope of the Spirit Hall to make it easier to manage both positions. If it weren’t for that, how could I possibly be interested in a mere Crown Prince like Xue Qinghe?!"
Qian Renxue pursed her lips. Although she was full of complaints, in front of Emperor Xue Ye, who was still in good health, she didn’t show any signs of disagreement.
Instead, she spoke earnestly.
"Yes, Father, I will do my best to win the heart of the Spirit Hall’s Holy Maiden, Qian Renxue!!"
I’ll win my own heart, huh? Well, that makes sense.
"Good, good, good!!! Qinghe, go ahead with confidence. If you can really marry Holy Maiden Qian Renxue, on your wedding day, it will also be the day you ascend the throne. By then, I can finally retire and enjoy life!!"
Emperor Xue Ye looked at the Crown Prince’s confident smile and laughed excitedly.
Seeing Emperor Xue Ye’s smile, Xue Qinghe also smiled, though there was a hint of a sneer in his expression.
Soon, as time passed, another three months went by.
During these three months, Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall continued to exert her influence, causing chaos in all kingdoms and empires except the Heaven Dou Empire with her evil soul master search teams. The people suffered greatly.
Many lower-level soul masters were sometimes searched three times in a single day!!
As a result, resentment toward the Spirit Hall’s actions grew even more severe and frequent.
But since the powerful sects of the continent were all in the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Clear Sky School remained in seclusion.
Thus, with no one leading the charge, despite their deep frustration and hatred, the lower-level soul masters were powerless against the Spirit Hall’s absolute strength.
They could only be searched over and over again, like sheep.
Unlike other kingdoms and empires.
The Heaven Dou Empire’s situation over these three months was the envy of the entire continent.
For one, they didn’t have to worry about harassment from the evil soul master search teams, and they could receive monthly soul master subsidies. Just these two things alone made people from other nations extremely jealous.
A Soul Master’s monthly allowance increased from one gold coin to two, a Great Soul Master’s to fifteen, and a Soul Elder’s to one hundred and thirty!
And it wasn’t just lower-level soul masters who were envious. Even some Spirit Hall staff began to envy those working in the Spirit Hall branches managed by Holy Maiden Qian Renxue in the Heaven Dou Empire.
From what they heard, unlike their own stagnant benefits, the Spirit Hall branches in the Heaven Dou Empire had seen further improvements.
Not only were their salaries and benefits proportionally increased, but the assessment standards were also less stringent.
In short, working for the Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Empire meant more money, less work, and being closer to home.
It was a far cry from their own miserable situation, where they worked hard only to be criticized by lower-level soul masters behind their backs.
Moreover, according to internal Spirit Hall news, Su Yuntao, a Great Soul Master responsible for awakening martial souls in nearby villages in Notting City, had passed his performance evaluation and earned a large year-end bonus. He even married his sweetheart, truly a winner in life!!
Aside from these enviable benefits, what people talked about most was the romantic rumors between Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire and Holy Maiden Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall.
Since announcing their cooperation three months ago, the two had been inseparable, often appearing together in public.
Although they didn’t hold hands or embrace.
Whenever they appeared together, no matter what they did, their final destination was always the Moon Pavilion.
And they would stay there for an entire day before parting ways. freewebnσvel.cøm
Although the Moon Pavilion’s owner, Tang Yuehua, had explained that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Holy Maiden Qian Renxue were just friends and only had a cooperative relationship, nothing more.
But the more Tang Yuehua explained, the more people saw it as a cover-up. After all, from all appearances, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Holy Maiden Qian Renxue didn’t seem to have just a simple relationship! If they really had no other connection, why would they spend an entire day together at the Moon Pavilion?! Nonsense!!
And Tang Yuehua, seeing that no one believed her even after she told the truth, eventually gave up explaining and let the rumors spread.
