"Why are you willing to accept her?"
After arranging a temporary residence for Zhu Zhuqing, Qian Renxue snuggled up to Li Yu, curious about his reasoning.
From her perspective, Li Yu hadn't shown any indication of wanting to take Zhu Zhuqing in.
But after Qian Renxue mentioned, "She's been waiting outside for three days," Li Yu seemed to immediately understand her meaning and agreed to take Zhu Zhuqing in.
Was this favoritism?
Qian Renxue thought to herself and had already decided, but still wanted to hear Li Yu confirm it in his own words.
"Want to know the reason?"
Li Yu smiled lightly as he pinched Qian Renxue face.
"Mm-hmm!"
Qian Renxue, with her resistance to Li Yu already low, unconsciously adopted a more daughter-like posture.
"There are two reasons."
Li Yu smiled, "First, you want to."
Qian Renxue eyes brightened with a playful smile. "What's the second reason?"
"Through Poison Douluo words, I also learned about your situation within the Heaven Dou royal family." Li Yu spoke slowly, and Qian Renxue eyes slightly narrowed.
After a pause, Li Yu continued, "With your past achievements, the Emperor Xue Ye cannot erase them by forcing you to take a stand! Even if you wanted to give up, the people who support you wouldn't let you. Of course, perhaps those who supported you have been secretly bought off. But now..."
Li Yu looked at Qian Renxue seriously. "As someone who has become a 'political asset,' I'm still striving. Those people should have changed their minds! But... it's still not enough. I believe it's still not enough! So, I want to give it one last push!"
"Yu'er..."
Qian Renxue eyes, filled with surprise, were also filled with pain.
Li Yu intelligence exceeded her expectations, to the point that he had deduced so much information from just a few words from Duke Poison, and most of it was accurate.
Anyone would be shocked by this.
And when she heard the words "becoming a political asset," her heart trembled.
Although the words were harsh, that was indeed the reality.
Back then, Li Yu had no background, no cultivation.
Apart from his appearance, it seemed he had nothing, and naturally, there was no room to resist.
But now everything had changed, and even she was curious about how the Emperor Xue Ye and others must be feeling now.
In less than half a month, Li Yu had gone from a "goldfish turns into dragon," even managing to pull Duke Poison and Ning Fengzhi onto her side.
This was an outcome no one could have predicted.
It could be said that, although Li Yu seemed to have done nothing, the situation now had fundamentally changed because of him!
"I'm sorry!"
Qian Renxue said apologetically, then added, "Thank you!"
"I'm your princess consort, aren't I?"
Li Yu smiled lightly but didn't linger on the topic. Instead, he shifted to talk about his "push" plan.
"Now, you're only one step away from ascending to the throne! You only need a great achievement or honor."
Qian Renxue eyes lit up at the mention of honor.
Right now, there was indeed an opportunity to earn honor!
The Continental Elite Young Soul Master Tournament!
In less than a year, the Continental Elite Young Soul Master Tournament would be held!
She suddenly realized why Li Yu was willing to take in Zhu Zhuqing.
This was definitely preparation in advance!
But just taking in Zhu Zhuqing wasn't enough; even if Dugu Yan was willing to come, more people were still needed!
Although she herself was nearing the age limit, revealing her true strength before her success was not a good idea.
So, she had to be excluded from the plan!
In an instant, Qian Renxue understood Li Yu intention and began thinking about the people involved.
Li Yu, noticing the change in Qian Renxue eyes, smiled and knew she understood what he meant.
He then said boldly, "Don't worry about the participants. I'm here, we just need a few fillers! But… if you want to claim this honor under your name, we'll need to put some thought into it!"
"Oh?"
Qian Renxue blinked.
When Li Yu boldly said "we just need a few fillers for the participants," she felt like scolding him.
Although Li Yu had defeated Shrek before, they were short one person, and more importantly, they were missing the key soul fusion technique.
Moreover, others may not know the terrifying potential of the Spirit Hall's current generation, but she did.
Those few people, although not on par with him, were still the top geniuses!
The Spirit Hall's ability to select geniuses was unmatched by any soul master academy on the continent.
Except for large families and sects, almost all soul master awakenings went through the Spirit Hall!
This ability to select geniuses was unquestionable.
However, upon hearing the latter part of Li Yu words, Qian Renxue interest was fully piqued.
She now understood that Li Yu did not want to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but instead, he wanted to use the available spot!
It seemed like he was considering establishing his own independent path.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue understood why Li Yu had such an idea.
If they used the Heaven Dou Royal Academy available spot, though it was a royal-exclusive spot, the academy could send one team directly to the finals.
Li Yu could easily claim one of those spots with his strength.
But in the end, the honor would be attributed to the royal family and the academy.
It wouldn't have any direct connection to her, Qian Renxue!
Even if Li Yu was her husband, she would only be "pleased" but not "honored."
"Yu'er wants me to secretly occupy an academy?"
Qian Renxue asked cautiously but then started considering the targets, "Now that I think about it, I do have a target! There's a Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City, the headmaster has decent strength, and they only accept commoner students! If we support her ideology, don't change any internal rules, and provide support, it shouldn't be difficult to secretly join. Plus, the Academy location is nice, it occupies the largest forest in Heaven Dou City!"
After speaking, Qian Renxue looked at Li Yu, seemingly waiting for his opinion.
Li Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Blue Tyrant Academy? Wasn't that the academy of Liu Erlong?
But it had been over a month since the Shrek incident, and now Blue Tyrant Academy might have already become Shrek Academy.
But with the previous changes, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu had already left.
Perhaps everything would change.
Li Yu smiled lightly, "Leave this matter to you to handle. You decide!"
He paused, then gently kissed Qian Renxue on the neck. "Next, I'm going to find Duke Poison. My control over poison elements has improved recently, and I might be able to try and resolve the toxins inside Poison Douluo body!"
Qian Renxue body tingled, and she said with some grievance, "How long will you be gone?"
Li Yu shook his head. "I'm not sure."
Back when Tang san solved Dugu Bo issue, it took a whole half a year.
Now, even though Li Yu had the 100,000-year [Spirit Adornment], and the absorption efficiency had reached 200%, he still couldn't guarantee how long it would take.
It might be quick, or it might take longer.
But one thing was for sure—his soul power would definitely increase significantly.
Qian Renxue felt even more aggrieved and wrapped her arms around Li Yu waist, murmuring, "Yu'er~"
