Chapter 1679: Leng Yaozhu's Thoughts (Subscription Request)_1

Dai Yun'er replied, "Yes, Father Emperor!"

Then, with great joy, she turned around and left the Great Hall...

This eased the expressions of the other ministers quite a bit...

One of the ministers said with a salute, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess has left, should we start considering how to safeguard against the Holy Spirit Cult's attacks on the cities of the Xingluo Empire?"

Another minister nodded in agreement, "That's right, although we have the support of the powerhouses from Soul Land, to truly resolve the trouble caused by the Holy Spirit Cult, we still have to rely on our own Xingluo Empire!"

"If we allow the Holy Spirit Cult to grow unchecked, their power will become stronger and stronger, especially if they gather all the evil Soul Masters. It's unimaginable!"

Dai Tianling glanced at them and asked, "Then, gentlemen, do you have any suggestions??"

The ministers hesitated, their faces revealing uncertainty...

Just at that moment, Dai Yueyan spoke up, "Father Emperor, your son has a plan, though I'm not sure if it's feasible!"

These words made Dai Tianling's eyes flicker, "Oh? Let's hear it!"

Yue Yan was the most suitable among his many children to take over as the next emperor of the Xingluo Empire, so he had to be cultivated with emphasis!

...

Elsewhere, Dai Yun'er, having left the Imperial Palace Great Hall, immediately went to find Long Yue and the others!

Seeing the delighted expression on Dai Yun'er's face, they asked curiously, "Your Highness the Princess, why do you seem so happy? Could it be that you've encountered some good fortune?"

"Indeed, I've never seen Your Highness the Princess show such a joyful expression before!"

"Your Highness the Princess, if you don't mind, could you share it with us?"

Dai Yun'er did not hide her excitement and joyfully said, "Father Emperor has agreed to let me go to Shrek Academy as an exchange student!"

Long Yue frowned slightly, "Shrek Academy? Princess, what are you going to do there?"

Dai Yun'er blinked her beautiful eyes, "Big Brother Long, just call me Yun'er. 'Your Highness the Princess' feels too distant!"

Long Yue paused, then said apologetically, "Right, that does sound a bit impersonal. So, Yun'er, what do you plan to do at Shrek Academy?"

After a pause, he guessed, "Could it be to meet Elder Xu from the Sea God's Pavilion?"

These words seemed to strike at Dai Yun'er's intentions, causing her cheeks to flush red, "Of... of course not. I just want to... to see how the students of Shrek Academy train!"

The corners of Long Yue's mouth twitched as he thought to himself, "This Yun'er, she doesn't even know to control her expression when lying..."

It seemed that this Elder Xu already occupied a significant place in Yun'er's heart!

Dai Yun'er then set her watery large eyes on him, "By the way, Big Brother Long, can I ask you a favor?"

Long Yue asked with a puzzled look, "What is it?"

Dai Yun'er said earnestly, "I want to ask you to come with me to Shrek Academy!"

Long Yue hesitated for a moment, then countered, "But... what about the Crown Prince? Isn't he coming with you?"

Dai Yun'er shook her head, "Brother has things to do at the imperial palace! So... it's only you, Big Brother Long!"

Long Yue coughed and explained, "Yun'er, I recently have been..."

Dai Yun'er made a face as if about to cry, pleading, "Big Brother Long, can you bear to let me go to Shrek Academy alone?"

Long Yue opened his mouth but found he couldn't utter a word of refusal. He could only sigh and say, "Alright, but we have to come back early. We can't stay for too long!"

Dai Yun'er answered without hesitation, "Thank you, Big Brother Long!"

Although Long Yue had a rough appearance, looking like someone not to be trifled with, only those who really knew him were aware of his delicate heart...

...

At the Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu was seen slouched in her chair with limbs splayed out and lamented, "So tired. Every day, there are all these big and small matters of the Spirit Pagoda to deal with, sigh!"

Back when she was the Vice Tower Master, she could manage her time freely!

But now, she practically had to stay in the Spirit Pagoda every day; and whenever something happened, she had to deal with it immediately!

She couldn't even find the time for cultivation!

Qiangu Qingfeng chuckled lightly beside her, "This is something every qualified Pagoda Master will experience!"

Leng Yaozhu showed a suspicious expression, "Is it really? But if I have to do everything myself, I'll eventually break down. Perhaps, I should do something to relieve the burden!"

She really wasn't interested in these trivial matters of the Spirit Pagoda!

Qiangu Qingfeng seemed to have noticed the implication and narrowed his eyes, "Tower Master, are you suggesting…"

A sharp light flickered through Leng Yaozhu's phoenix eyes, "Vice Tower Master, how about I find someone to take care of these matters for me?"

Qiangu Qingfeng's expression immediately darkened, "..."

She hadn't even become a qualified Tower Master yet and was already starting to look for a successor!

Sensing his change of demeanor, Leng Yaozhu explained somewhat guiltily, "Vice Tower Master, don't get agitated, I was just venting a little!"

Seeing his stance, it was clear he wouldn't agree!

Qiangu Qingfeng pursed his lips, "Starting to cultivate the next Spirit Pagoda's master this soon seems a bit too early. With your situation, you should be able to hold the position of the Pagoda Master comfortably for at least another decade or so."

And he himself was confident that he could help Leng Yaozhu become a qualified Pagoda Master within a few years!

Leng Yaozhu's lips twitched, "Is that so…? You have quite a lot of confidence in me, Vice Tower Master!"

A decade or more?

She didn't have that much confidence in herself!

She quickly changed the subject, "So, Vice Tower Master, how is the situation in the Xingluo Empire?"

If Qiangu Qingfeng disagreed, then she would just cultivate a successor in secret!

When his life reached its end, she could retire and let the newly cultivated Tower Master take over.

A seamless transition!

Hearing this question, Qiangu Qingfeng's expression became serious, "Various forces with powerful experts have already gone to assist the Xingluo Empire. There shouldn't be any major issues for a while!"

"But if the Holy Spirit Cult continues to act recklessly under these circumstances, it could cause widespread dissatisfaction throughout the Xingluo Empire! Then, the whole Xingluo Land will be in turmoil!"

At that time, it would not just be a war between the Xingluo Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult; the top-tier powers of the Douluo Continent would also have to get involved!

Leng Yaozhu narrowed her eyes, "So what you mean, Vice Tower Master, is that the Xingluo Empire doesn't have the capability to deal with the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Qiangu Qingfeng nodded, "That's right, but... without the supply of Artificial Spirit Souls from our Spirit Pagoda, it shouldn't be easy for the Holy Spirit Cult to train new evil Soul Masters!"

The Holy Spirit Cult had once been so rampant on the Douluo Continent precisely because they had connections with the previous Tower Master, Qiangugu Dongfeng...

They had unlimited access to Artificial Spirit Souls, which they used to train new evil Soul Masters!

As for leaving the Douluo Continent, besides the exposure of the Holy Spirit Cult's location, another reason was their severed ties with the Spirit Pagoda!
