Her mother's betrayal came suddenly and was painfully real. It shattered the facade that Qian Renxue had maintained for many years, exposing her vulnerable heart.

While the token itself may be insignificant, if Qian Renxue desired it, Qian Daoliu would surely retrieve it from Bibi Dong and give it to her. However, there lies a fundamental difference between these two actions. One is an act of personal will, while the other is being forced.

Qian Renxue knows this well: Bibi Dong still doesn't intend to turn against Qian Daoliu. Despite their strained relationship, filled with minor conflicts, they are both members of the Spirit Hall. Therefore, if Qian Daoliu wanted the Holy Maiden Order, Bibi Dong would reluctantly give it up.

But from a subjective standpoint, and considering the recent events, Qian Renxue had to acknowledge one thing: Bibi Dong genuinely views Hu Liena as her own daughter. Qian Renxue felt both a toothache from Bibi Dong's actions and a sense of doubt regarding her miraculous performance.

It's understandable to have a biological daughter in the family, but to shower affection on a non-blood-related girl? Qian Renxue originally believed that Bibi Dong's thirst for power caused her to see Hu Liena as a burden.

However, it now seems that she was the one excluded. Bibi Dong never regarded her as a daughter, and her thinking is undoubtedly abnormal.  

How dare she reveal the existence of her biological daughter to Hu Liena? Is it because she fears her demise isn't imminent enough? Or is she concerned her plan might progress too smoothly? If this can be considered "normal thinking," then abnormal thinkers must be scarce in this world, including that useless Xue Beng.

As she silently cursed Bibi Dong, a mentally unstable woman, Qian Renxue released some of the pent-up frustration in her heart. Unfortunately, she still felt somewhat uneasy.

The most painful things are often not lies but facts and truths. Suppressing the doubts that surfaced, Qian Renxue took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, glanced at the token on the table, and said expressionlessly, "I am very interested in you. How about becoming friends?"

That little girl Hu Liena is definitely not qualified to dictate the situation. Since it's not from Bibi Dong, there's a high probability that what the other party said is true. He and Hu Liena are friends, but definitely close friends! Since the other party's position isn't a problem, Qian Renxue believes she can be friends with him.

How can this be put into words? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. If Bibi Dong is allowed to be eccentric, why shouldn't she be allowed to?

Secretly admiring Qian Renxue's mental fortitude, Lu Yuan smiled and replied, "Since you lent me the horse that day, you've been my friend. Although you may not have given it much thought, for certain matters, the result is more important than the process."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue pondered for a moment and asked with some uncertainty, "I don't know what Brother Lu wants to talk to me about?"

"Let's discuss cooperation," Lu Yuan said, gesturing to himself and then to Qian Renxue. "I have what I need, what I want, what I hope for, and you have your own needs, wants, and aspirations. Aligning our needs and expectations will ensure a smooth journey."

Qian Renxue nodded, finding this approach much more straightforward. The previous convoluted metaphor was headache-inducing. It's better to be direct. After contemplating for a while, she waved her hand and asked in a hushed tone, "Can you tell me more about your troubles?" The fact that Lu Yuan mentioned troubles suggests they may be significant. If he mentions angering Bibi Dong as one of them, Qian Renxue hopes she can assist in resolving this issue. She can't face such a challenge alone. By asking in advance, she can mentally prepare herself.

Stretching out his hand, Lu Yuan snapped his fingers while counting.

"The first issue: a hundred thousand-year soul beast. Her background is very complicated, but I have reasons to protect her. I can assure you that her soul beast aura will never leak out, but this is just a temporary solution. In case something unwarranted happens, I hope you can help me resist Bibi Dong's pressure."

Qian Renxue nodded without hesitation.

"I can."

Actually, the difficulty of this matter lies in the soul beast's aura. Since Lu Yuan can guarantee that the aura of the transformed soul beast will never be leaked, even if there are any "rumors" from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she is sure to cover it up perfectly by virtue of her dual identity. Qian Renxue knows that this first issue can only be considered a preventive measure.

The other party's approach is already in place, and she doesn't need to put in too much effort.

"The second issue: I don't have enough people at my disposal. On Star Luo's side, Crown Princess Zhu Zhuyun is under my command, but she only has an eighty-one-level Spirit Douluo overseeing matters, and currently she doesn't receive any additional assistance. I hope that, if conditions permit, the Spirit Hall branch at Star Luo Empire can provide Zhu Zhuyun with some support."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, the room fell into a long silence. Qian Renxue rested her forehead on her hand, thinking for a while before she could fully process the shocking news.

Crown Princess Zhu Zhuyun of the Star Luo Empire is under your command? And she has an eighty-first-level Spirit Douluo serving under her? There are only a few Spirit Douluo in the Star Luo Empire! Even the Heaven Dou Empire doesn't have many whom are loyal. This foundation is already quite solid, isn't it? Moreover, the Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire is on your side. In an instant, Qian Renxue even felt that if she joined forces with the other party, they might be able to dominate the entire continent.

Her Heaven Dou Empire and his Star Luo Empire, if both plans succeed, and she takes control of the Spirit Hall, wouldn't that mean the unification of the entire continent? She took a deep breath, suppressing her overly excited emotions, and gradually calmed down.

"You may continue."

"One last issue: I need you to provide me with something special."

Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then furrowed her brows and asked, "What do you want?"

She made a promise to herself that if the other party dared to ask for her personal belongings, she would beat him until he couldn't even recognize himself!

"A map with Slaughter City marked on it, the Heaven Dou Empire's treasure—the blue gemstone, a blue silver grass in the cave near the Holy Soul Village, and an iconic token that represents your Qian Family."

"Of course, I suggest you obtain the blue silver grass in the Holy Soul Village after the blacksmith named Tang Hao leaves. Dig it out then!" Lu Yuan said casually, spreading his hands.

"As for me, once you truly decide to help me, I will prepare a generous surprise gift package for you. Trust me, it will be a very, very generous surprise gift package!"

Qian Renxue's eyes twitched violently, completely ignoring the "surprise gift package" mentioned afterward. Instead, she focused all her attention on the preceding statements. The other party had already dropped hints, and if she still didn't realize what they meant, she would be foolish.

"Tang Hao! And the Blue Silver Emperor!" Gritting her teeth tightly, Qian Renxue finally uttered these words after a long pause. In her little black book, if Bibi Dong ranked first, then Tang Hao must be second! There was no doubt about it.
