After returning to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Qian Xunfeng also took the opportunity to check everyone's cultivation levels and make team assignments.
After all, there were too many geniuses under the Spirit Hall now — deciding how to best make use of them had become a bit of a headache.
"Uncle Pope!"
At this moment, Tian Yue and Dugu Qiubai approached hand in hand, pleasantly surprised.
"Mhm, Lingling and little Yan—where are those two girls?"
Qian Xunfeng nodded, then noticed that Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan hadn't shown up yet — most likely they had gone out shopping again.
"Hehe, Yanzi and Lingling went shopping, they probably won't be back until the afternoon," Tian Yue said, scratching her head and giving an embarrassed laugh.
"It's fine. I just need to assign the future battle teams. You can tell them later," Qian Xunfeng said casually. It wasn't a big deal, as long as they got the message.
"Battle teams?"
Tian Yue froze for a moment, then her expression lit up in delight. She shook Dugu Qiubai's arm excitedly and said, "Uncle Pope, can Qiubai and I join the Spirit Hall's team?
After all, fighting in those boring early matches is a waste of time. It's better to wait until the finals and really fight to our heart's content!"
As she spoke, Tian Yue raised her white jade-like fist and waved it proudly before Qian Xunfeng, her chin lifted high.
"Haha, naturally."
Qian Xunfeng chuckled at Tian Yue's bold attitude, but then he saw Qian Renxuan walking toward him.
"Father, Xuan'er wants to participate in the competition too."
Seeing that her elder siblings were all taking part, Qian Renxuan naturally wanted to join as well. She immediately wrapped her arms around Qian Xunfeng and acted coquettishly. Ever since absorbing the Evil God's aura, her level had shot up by ten ranks—now already a level fifty-six Soul King—but her combat power was easily enough to fight ten Soul Kings at once.
"Of course you can. However…" Qian Xunfeng smiled, "you'll need to reach Soul Emperor within a year."
As his most beloved youngest daughter, Qian Renxuan was deeply pampered. For this kind of experience-building competition, Qian Xunfeng had no reason to refuse.
A short while later, Zhu Zhuqing walked in alone. The moment she saw Qian Xunfeng, her eyes flickered nervously, and she looked lost, her steps slowing as she reached him.
"G-Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."
Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks turned faintly red as she quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact with Qian Xunfeng.
She was afraid she might not be able to control herself — afraid she'd give something away.
Sensing the odd tension, the others immediately turned to look. Ah Yin and A Rou exchanged glances — first looking at Zhu Zhuqing, then at Qian Xunfeng — their phoenix eyes narrowing slightly. The two women, one on each side of Qian Xunfeng, leaned in and whispered softly, "So many women already, and still sneaking around? Seems your energy is quite abundant."
"Haha, perhaps."
Qian Xunfeng wrapped an arm around each of them and spoke indifferently, but as he noticed everyone else's curious stares, he cleared his throat and quickly changed the topic.
"Ahem. Since everyone's here, let's go over the team assignments."
"The Spirit Hall Seven Luminaries Team will temporarily consist of Qian Renchuan, Qian Renxue, Qian Renxuan, Tian Yue, Dugu Qiubai, plus Yan and Xie Yue to round it out."
"The Heaven Dou Royal First Team will temporarily be Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu. The remaining three spots—Qiubai, you can decide who to add."
As if recalling something, Qian Xunfeng's lips curved upward in a mischievous smile. "Oh, and I believe you'll soon have one more reliable teammate joining you."
Though he didn't immediately know Ning Rongrong's exact current situation, with Xiao Lan—the Douluo consciousness spirit—acting as his attendant, nearly the entire continent was under his surveillance.
Even the hiding place of the Dragon God was perfectly clear to him. Whether in the open or in secret, the entire Douluo Continent had, by now, effectively become his alone.
Even if the God Kings from the heavens descended, they couldn't stop his plan to reshape the Douluo world.
According to his estimation, Ning Fengzhi was probably already impatient to tighten his relationship with the Heaven Dou royal family.
And Ning Rongrong would surely be sent to the Heaven Dou royal family this very month.
Naturally, Ning Rongrong would be unwilling. All he needed to do was make a slight move, arrange a few things, and he could easily bring her back.
After all, in the original story, Ning Rongrong's character wasn't bad — just that her emotions were too scattered. Once she tied her heart to Shrek Academy, she became fiercely loyal to them.
And besides — Qian Xunfeng really wanted to see the look on Ning Fengzhi's face when his defenses shattered. Simply destroying the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wasn't nearly as entertaining.
Making Ning Rongrong personally destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that Ning Fengzhi had poured his heart and soul into — now that would be truly amusing.
"What? A new teammate?"
As Qian Xunfeng was lost in thought, Zhu Zhuqing's curiosity was piqued. She ignored the scrutinizing gazes of Qian Renchuan and Qian Renxuan and asked in confusion.
After all, anyone Qian Xunfeng himself mentioned as a new member gave her a strange, uneasy feeling — could it be someone like her?
"You'll find out soon enough. But when you have free time, wander around near the Heaven Dou Palace — you might just run into her."
Qian Xunfeng said mysteriously. In truth, he was also arranging a companion for Zhu Zhuqing. After all, Ah Yin had A Rou; the two Ice and Snow Emperors were inseparable; Tang Yuehua acted out of her own interests; Gu Yuena's nature made her unlikely to join; and Bibi Dong now had her own "toys." So Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong could make quite a pair — and conveniently, double-team him later.
"Alright."
Seeing Qian Xunfeng's expression, Zhu Zhuqing immediately sensed that something was up — and her curiosity grew stronger. She nodded in agreement.
"In that case, that's all for now. Are you all coming back to Spirit Hall with us?" Qian Xunfeng asked.
At that moment, Xiao Wu and Qian Renchuan exchanged glances, their thoughts in sync. They both nodded and said together, "We'd like to stay here for a while. We've never fought in Heaven Dou's Great Spirit Arena — it'd be a pity not to test it out."
"And besides," Xiao Wu continued, "I heard Shrek Academy registered too. They say they've taken immortal herbs that overdraw their future potential — the perfect chance to test their strength."
"Mhm. And what about Xuan'er and Xue'er?" Qian Xunfeng turned toward Qian Renxuan and Qian Renxue.
"Snow Sister and I will return to Spirit Hall. We haven't seen Mother in a long time — I wonder if she misses us," Qian Renxuan said as she linked arms with Qian Renxue.
Seeing this, Qian Xunfeng agreed to let Qian Renchuan and Xiao Wu remain in Heaven Dou City for the time being. It didn't affect anything — no need to force them.
Ah Yin and A Rou, meanwhile, began teasing Qian Renchuan and Xiao Wu about their relationship, and bursts of laughter from the two women echoed from time to time.
Watching them, Qian Xunfeng made an excuse to "take a walk" around Heaven Dou City — but in truth, he went straight to Moon Pavilion.
At that moment, in Tang Yuehua's bedroom—
"Eleven million gold soul coins, huh."
Tang Yuehua carefully arranged eleven gold cards, each worth a million, before putting them into a drawer. By now, she had reached level forty — a Soul Sect.
These gold soul coins were all of Moon Pavilion's accumulated savings — funds she planned to give entirely to Qian Xunfeng next time she saw him. After all, she considered herself Qian Xunfeng's woman. Keeping the money was pointless — better to use it to strengthen Spirit Hall.
It was her way of contributing her humble share to its rise.
After that night, Qian Xunfeng's presence had carved itself deep into her very being. Every time she remembered, her gaze would grow hazy. In the two years since, she had only seen him a few times — but every meeting had brought her an ecstasy she'd never known before.
As Tang Yuehua thought about it, her cheeks turned slightly red. She quickly shook her head, brushing aside her thoughts.
Just as she stood up, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around her from behind.
"Who—?!"
Tang Yuehua gasped in shock, then turned — only to see Qian Xunfeng's handsome face. For a moment, she was completely dazed.
"Did you miss me?"
Qian Xunfeng asked teasingly, pressing her down beneath him.
"I… did…"
As soon as she spoke, Qian Xunfeng saw a side of Tang Yuehua he'd never seen before — wild and unrestrained, yet still exuding that noble grace unique to her.
