"Ha ha……"
This time, not only Dugu Bo, but everyone else couldn't help but roll their eyes.
"Ahem, Dean, nothing major has happened lately, has anything?"
Feeling a bit uncomfortable being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Lin Chuan coughed twice and immediately changed the subject.
Shui Lanxin paused for a moment, her expression somewhat strange. "I thought you didn't care about your territory at all, but nothing major has happened. Neither the Spirit Hall nor the Heaven Dou Empire has made any moves, which gives us a good opportunity to develop."
"It's just the calm before the storm!"
Lin Chuan shook his head, his voice sounding exceptionally cold.
As someone who knew the future trajectory, he was well aware that the Spirit Hall would eventually launch a war that would affect the entire continent; it was only a matter of time.
"Dean, please ask the Shui family to train more troops!"
Shui Lanxin was suddenly shocked, her beautiful eyes flashing, "Is it that serious? You actually want to train an army? Could it be that Xiao Chuan wants to expand your power?"
"Of course not, it's just that I saw some things when I came back and changed some of my thoughts," Lin Chuan shook his head. "These armies are used to protect the ordinary people in the territory. Now that I have become a noble of the territory, I should naturally provide them with protection."
Upon hearing these words, Shui Lanxin's gaze softened.
"Understood, I'll have someone take care of it as soon as possible. Are there any other requirements?"
"That's all for now. Also, keep a close eye on the Spirit Hall. They'll be making a big move soon, and it won't be small-scale skirmishes anymore; it will be a thunderous attack!"
Seeing Lin Chuan speak with such certainty, Shui Lanxin also put away her relaxed mood and nodded solemnly.
"By the way, where are Bing'er and the others?"
"Bing'er and the others are currently cultivating at the academy. Those children, having missed the chance to take the divine exam, don't want to fall too far behind you, so they're putting in their best effort to catch up!"
However, it seems that the gap has not been closed, but has instead widened!
The divine test is terrifying.
“I also know of a testing ground that is very suitable for water and ice attribute soul masters to cultivate. I can take them there in a while.”
"real?!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Lanxin instantly perked up.
Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat tempted and tentatively asked, "Young Lin, do you think I am qualified to participate in the assessment? Although I can't compare with you in terms of talent, I am still a Title Douluo."
"Passing the test shouldn't be a problem, but being chosen by a god and having a divine position passed down to me is probably unlikely."
Lin Chuan shrugged and directly stated his guess.
In his view, even if Dugu Bo's martial soul has evolved into a top-tier martial soul and he eventually cultivates to the level 99 Peerless Douluo, he will at most become a guardian of the godhood.
In other words, it waits for a destined person to become the inheritor, and finally sacrifices itself.
"Is that so?"
Dugu Bo's expression turned slightly cold, and a sense of resentment arose in his heart.
"In fact, Senior Dugu, you don't need to force it. Although you cannot become a god, as long as Yanzi inherits the Earth God, as a supreme god, you will be qualified to bring two people into the God Realm. Therefore, you do not need to become a god to have endless lifespan."
Lin Chuan then shared what he knew with everyone again.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression immediately improved considerably.
Although he has no chance of becoming a god, he can still benefit from the glory of his own granddaughter.
Ignoring what others thought, Lin Chuan turned to Shui Lanxin and said, "Dean, could you please send a message to Bing'er and the others, asking them to come to Snowfield City as soon as possible?"
"I'll go now!"
Shui Lanxin suddenly stood up and disappeared from the room in an instant.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if Shui Bing'er and the others cannot gain the gods' approval and become inheritors like Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, it is still excellent as long as they can undergo the test.
Didn't you see how much Lin Chuan and the other two changed because of the test?
"I'm really anxious!"
Lin Chuan shook his head, but also expressed his understanding.
"Brother Chuan, I'll go back to my family to see Grandpa and Mother first," Ye Lingling said softly.
"Alright," Lin Chuan nodded with a smile, "Yanzi, you haven't seen Senior Dugu for a long time either, you must have a lot to talk about, so you should all get some rest!"
No one objected, and they all left afterward.
Lin Chuan suddenly turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent all along. At this moment, the girl also looked at him, and the two stared at each other.
"I almost forgot about you. Let me get you a room first. Come with me!"
The manor was very large, but very few people lived there.
After personally settling Zhu Zhuqing in, Lin Chuan turned and walked towards his room. However, before he had gone far, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to surge behind him.
"He started cultivating as soon as he got back; he really can't stay idle!"
He couldn't help but mutter under his breath, but deep down he admired this woman who was working so hard to change her fate; in fact, he thought she was a rare and wonderful woman.
"It's just a pity... some people are blind to talent!"
Lin Chuan chuckled and shook his head, his figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
In the room, the aloof and beautiful girl, who had been in a meditative state, suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes flashing with a complex light, before slowly closing them again.
……
For the next three days, Lin Chuan stayed at the manor.
Upon receiving Shui Lanxin's message, Shui Bing'er and the other members of the Tianshui team rushed to Xueyuan City. They were all extremely excited when they heard that they would be taken to the Divine Trial Land.
Especially that girl Shuiyue'er, who kept urging us to set off as soon as possible.
Lin Chuan was so annoyed by the noise that he finally calmed down after Shui Lanxin and Shui Bing'er persuaded her.
After resting for a few more days, they planned to set off for Poseidon Island.
However, the arrival of an uninvited guest suddenly ruined the plan.
"Lin boy, come out here right now!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Dugu Bo rushed in, his words urgent and his expression heavy with worry.
Lin Chuan frowned. "Senior Dugu, what happened that made you so flustered?"
“Prince Xuexing of Tiandou City sent a letter saying that something has happened in Tiandou City. Emperor Xueye has suddenly been poisoned and wants me to go over and see if I can resolve the issue.”
"Emperor Xueye has been poisoned?!"
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Lin Chuan's expression suddenly changed in surprise.
But soon, his brows furrowed tightly again.
It shouldn't be this early. There should be at least three years before Qian Renxue makes her move. Or is there some reason that has brought her plans forward?
But neither the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School nor the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has been wiped out yet. Isn't Qian Renxue afraid of ruining everything by making such a hasty move?
"Stop standing there! Come with me now, or it'll be too late!"
Dugu Bo urged him again.
This letter was delivered by Xue Xing, who had saved his life. In addition, Dugu Bo did not want to see Emperor Xue Ye get into trouble, which would cause turmoil in the entire Tian Dou Empire.
“Alright, I’ll accompany you, senior.”
Lin Chuan could only suppress his doubts and slowly stand up.
“Grandpa, I’ll go with you too!” Dugu Yan suddenly said.
Ye Lingling also silently stood beside Lin Chuan. Although she didn't say anything, her meaning was clear.
Before Lin Chuan could speak, Dugu Bo shook his head first, "Yan Yan, you two don't need to come along. Lin and I are traveling light and will head to Tian Dou City as soon as possible. You two stay in Xueyuan City. With Dean Shui here, I feel more at ease."
"As Senior Dugu says, Yanzi and Lingling, you can stay."
Seeing that both of them said so, the other girls could only nod in agreement.
Shui Lanxin's expression was solemn. "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will take good care of these children. You and Xiao Chuan must be careful on this trip."
Dugu Bo smiled easily, "Don't worry, with my cultivation level, I can travel the world freely, not to mention there's this little monster with me. We'll take our leave now!"
After a brief farewell, Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo left Snowfield City together.
Time was of the essence, and the two had no time to seek flattery, relying solely on their own strength to continue their journey towards Tiandou City.
Fortunately, Tian Dou City is not too far from Xueyuan City, and with the two of them being highly skilled, they were able to vaguely see the outline of the city in just two days.
Without any hindrance, Lin Chuan and Dugu Bo entered Tian Dou City smoothly.
As they were heading towards the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, they encountered a cavalry force of about a hundred men who were galloping rapidly through the streets, exuding a chilling aura.
Upon witnessing this scene, Dugu Bo's expression grew even more solemn.
"It seems the situation is more serious than we thought; the Heavenly Dou Empire is about to undergo a major upheaval!"
As the emperor of one of the two great empires, if Emperor Xueye were to pass away, the entire continent's situation would undergo earth-shattering changes. The resulting change of emperors and power struggles would undoubtedly damage the nation's strength.
"Let's go into the palace first and see what the situation is like!"
