Qian Renxue stood up, walked to Bai Yu, and unleashed a barrage of attacks on him.
Bai Yu blinked, chuckled, and waved his hand, saying:
"Hehe, don't get excited. Last night's battle was partly because I was in a bad mood and wanted to find a punching bag to hit, and partly because I wanted to make a name for myself through this battle."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly and looked at Bai Yu suspiciously.
"Intentionally? You want to make a name for yourself? Why?"
"Based on my understanding of you, you are not someone who cares so much about fame. Otherwise, with your strength and your status as a Holy Son, your reputation should have already resounded throughout the continent."
Bai Yu's lips twitched, his expression somewhat helpless, before he walked past Qian Renxue and sat down in the chair.
"Sigh, I didn't originally plan to do this, but something unexpected happened on my return to Spirit City, which forced me to do it this way."
"As you know, my teacher has always had the idea of unifying the continent. I've been recruiting talents and forces everywhere, hoping to lend her a hand."
"But now that she's lost that idea, wouldn't all my efforts outside make me look like a clown? That won't do!"
At this point, Bai Yu looked up at Qian Renxue and continued:
"They've already sent you a message from Spirit City, right? That's my idea, and yesterday's battle was the catalyst."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Qian Renxue's eyes showed some complicated emotions. She then turned around and sat down, raising her fingers and tapping them lightly on the table.
"Yes, I did receive the news. The mission has changed. It is no longer about me leading the Heaven Dou Empire to surrender to Spirit Hall, but rather the Spirit Hall supporting the Heaven Dou Empire to unify the entire continent."
As Qian Renxue spoke, she thought to herself, "My dear sister must have changed her mind because of Bai Yu!"
Ha, compared to Bai Yu, her daughter is indeed not valued. She's probably even less important than that little fox.
Bai Yu, unaware of Qian Renxue's inner thoughts, simply nodded, indicating that she was right.
After all, she has been an actress for so many years, and her acting skills are ingrained in her bones. As long as she doesn't want to be noticed, no one can detect it.
"Yes, that's right. Since teacher doesn't want to establish a nation anymore, the Spirit Hall doesn't need to get involved personally. If they want to unify the continent, they only need to support one side."
"Moreover, it is much easier to support the unification of Heaven Dou than for Spirit Hall to intervene directly. After all, Heaven Dou and Star Luo have been fighting for many years and both want to annex the other."
"The idea that the two great empires want to achieve unification has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so compared with Spirit Hall, the resistance to the unification of Heaven Dou is much smaller."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Qian Renxue nodded in agreement.
"So you're saying that yesterday's battle was intentional, just to make it seem like I needed to make contact with you?"
"And the story you designed is that the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou and the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall become acquainted and have a good personal relationship. After the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou inherits the throne, his ambition grows and he wants to unify the continent."
"But finding his own strength insufficient, he sought help from close friends and acquaintances, asking Spirit Hall for support in order to unify the world?"
A smile appeared on Bai Yu's face as he gently clapped her hands, thinking to himself, "As long as the little angel doesn't do anything stupid, she's still quite intelligent."
"Yes, that's right! That's exactly what I'm thinking, because my identity will be announced to the world sooner or later."
"And you, Xue Qinghe, have a good personal relationship with Bai Yu. Once my identity is known to the continent, our personal relationship will become the relationship between you and the Holy Son of Spirit Hall."
"With Spirit Hall as your backing, you can legitimately unleash your ambitions and persuade the higher-ups of the Heaven Dou Empire to unify the continent."
"What do you think? Is there anything to add?"
Qian Renxue glanced at Bai Yu, shook her head, and said indifferently:
"No, your plan is excellent. With the support of Spirit Hall, even the conservatives of Heaven Dou will be eager to rise up."
"After all, they are conservative, they are just afraid of losing. If it is a sure win, they will rush in faster than anyone else. Heh, that represents absolute benefits."
For Qian Renxue, whether the continent is unified or not is actually irrelevant. She is working so hard as an undercover agent just to prove herself to Bibi Dong.
But after Bibi Dong sent her a message, her obsession with controlling Heaven Dou faded, because she only wanted to prove herself to her, not to become the emperor.
Then Qian Renxue paused slightly, looked at Bai Yu, and asked:
"Now that you've made up your mind, when do you plan to start? If things go smoothly, I can still help you before we return to Spirit City."
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Bai Yu clicked his tongue and gave a wry smile.
"Hehe, not so fast, at least two years from now. I have other things to do in these two years, and even if Xue Ye's health is not good, he won't suddenly die."
"There's another problem, um... Xiaoxue, I know you miss home. You came here as an undercover agent not because you care about the throne, but this matter really can't be left without you."
"It's fine for you to go back to Spirit City. We'll let your stand-in take over for a while, but you'll have to come back afterward. You really have to be the emperor."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Qian Renxue's eyes widened, and she immediately became displeased, slamming her hand on the table in annoyance.
"Bai Yu, are you kidding me? Didn't you advise me to abandon the mission and return to Spirit City before? How come you're so insistent on having me now?"
"I'm not doing this. You know why I stayed here before, but it's pointless now. Go find whoever you want!"
Bai Yu raised his hand to cover half of his face, thinking to himself, "Oh no, this little angel has done something stupid again."
"Sigh, this is different from before. The previous plan was for the Heaven Dou Empire to surrender to Spirit Hall, thus subjugating the region without bloodshed."
"But now the Heaven Dou Empire has unified the continent. No matter how good your substitute is, he is still an outsider and cannot be trusted."
Qian Renxue was taken aback. Bai Yu's words had enlightened her. Indeed, making someone surrender and making someone become emperor are two different things.
Because people's ambitions tend to swell as their status and position rise. Now that stand-in is loyal to Spirit Hall, will he still be loyal once he becomes the only emperor on the entire continent?
I'm afraid that won't happen. Instead, he will try every means to break free from the control of Spirit Hall and become a true emperor.
Even if his petty actions are just clownish behavior in the eyes of Spirit Hall.
But Bai Yu unified the continent to change some rules, and having this clown causing trouble in front of him is somewhat of a hindrance.
After Qian Renxue understood, her anger gradually subsided. Then she frowned and said hesitantly:
"I understand your idea, but what can we do? I can become the emperor and help you achieve unification."
"But I can't keep doing this forever, can I? I can't take it. This was your plan, so you're the one who should replace me!"
