Chapter 71: The Holy Spirit Cult’s Evil Emperor Qian Renxue?

"Well, I saw some dust on Teacher's stockings, so I thought I'd help pat it off." Saying this, Qian Ran patted Xian Lin'er's thigh a few more times, feeling the softness and elasticity beneath his fingers.

Qian Ran came up with an excuse without even blinking.

Xian Lin'er was stunned; this little rascal actually said that with a straight face.

With Xian Lin'er's level of power, even tiny particles in the air couldn't settle on her, so dust on her stockings was impossible. This little rascal really was…

Daring enough to flirt with his own teacher?

"So, does it feel nice?" Xian Lin'er's eyes sparkled as she asked.

"Very nice, very smooth," Qian Ran replied instinctively, only to realize what he had just said, causing his face to freeze momentarily.

Uh-oh.

Did Xian Lin'er outsmart him this time? Or was it just his own distractions causing him to miss her setup?

Seeing his response, Xian Lin'er's cheeks turned slightly red as she shot Qian Ran a glare. She knew this troublemaker had impure intentions, daring even to touch his teacher's leg. Did he perhaps want to go further?

But given how Qian Ran had driven off Yan Shaozhe for her sake, she let it slide. After all, he was just her student; he wouldn't really dare to cross the line. He was just temporarily mesmerized by her beauty.

She chuckled, realizing she was becoming more charming.

"Phew." Qian Ran relaxed when he saw that Xian Lin'er wasn't angry.

"Alright, let's get back on track. Nannan, can you tell us about what happened between you and Xu Sanshi? Your relationship seems complicated," Xian Lin'er said, turning to Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan recounted her entire history with Xu Sanshi to Xian Lin'er and the others.

After hearing her story, everyone was indignant.

They hadn't expected Xu Sanshi to threaten Jiang Nannan all along—he was truly despicable! If he had been more sincere, perhaps Jiang Nannan would have accepted him.

But the more he tried to control her, the more Jiang Nannan detested him.

"That guy was morally corrupt even before he became a Dark Soul Master. No wonder he turned out this way—it's what he deserves!" Tang Ya spat angrily. "Nannan, Xu Sanshi didn't actually do anything to you, right?"

Xu Sanshi had lured Jiang Nannan here today to force himself on her…

Ugh, shameless scoundrel! How could someone like him deserve Nannan? And to even think of doing it in such a public place—disgusting.

"Thankfully, Qian Ran arrived in time. Otherwise, I'd have been ruined," Jiang Nannan's eyes softened with gratitude. If not for Qian Ran, even if Xu Sanshi had faced punishment afterward, it would have been too late for her. Losing her innocence would have left her shattered.

"And what about your mother?" Xian Lin'er asked thoughtfully.

This was a tricky issue, even for her.

Acting against the Xuanming Sect just for Jiang Nannan's mother was unlikely.

It was akin to starting a war between nations for a few commoners. Moreover, Jiang Nannan's mother wasn't associated with Shrek Academy.

"I'll handle this. I should be able to manage it," Qian Ran interjected.

"You? Do you understand the strength of the Xuanming Sect? They have a Titled Douluo in their ranks." The group was stunned, looking at Qian Ran's confident expression and wondering about his background.

Many in Shrek Academy suspected Qian Ran was backed by a mysterious power.

After all, Shrek Academy drew students from all corners, including the Sun and Moon Empire. As long as students followed the rules, the academy wouldn't expel or turn away anyone.

"Don't worry; I won't act directly. I'll arrange for someone to take care of it." Qian Ran feigned being part of a powerful organization, to avoid more probing questions from Xian Lin'er and the others.

"Oh?"

Xian Lin'er frowned slightly.

There were only a few sects powerful enough to dismiss the Xuanming Sect.

Could it be an unrecorded hidden sect? Qian Ran was a mystery, sparking countless theories about his identity since his arrival at Shrek Academy.

Xian Lin'er pondered for a while, unable to figure it out, but then let it go. Qian Ran was her student, and he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions.

"Alright, I'll take care of this. I've been cooped up in that Angel Sword for too long," Qian Renxue stretched, showing off her perfect curves as she yawned, her eyes glinting with excitement.

Finally, she was free to move again.

In the past, she had feared that appearing in the outside world would draw Tang San's attention.

Tang San, now a god, could detect her aura, which would end any chance she had.

But now, she had nothing to worry about.

After absorbing Electrolux's godhood, her aura had changed completely.

She could even tap into Electrolux's half of the Death God's divinity, transforming into a being of undead scourge. As long as she used this identity, Qian Renxue had no fear of being discovered by Tang San.

Her aura was so altered that Tang San wouldn't recognize her, no matter what.

By keeping her movements discreet, she might even avoid the divine realm's notice.

After all, it had been ten thousand years—Tang San probably thought she was dead by now. Qian Renxue was ready to rise to the top of this world once more, and this time, no one would stand in her way.

"Once I'm out, I'll visit this Holy Spirit Cult you mentioned. If I can take control of it, it would become a powerful asset for us." Qian Renxue was intrigued by Qian Ran's description of this powerful cult that supported Dark Soul Masters.

"Hmm, not a bad idea. With your strength, you might even surpass Ye Xishui once you're there." Qian Ran hadn't expected Qian Renxue to be so ambitious. But with the power of Electrolux's undead godhood, she was steadily regaining her strength, and with her abilities, she certainly had a chance to lead the Holy Spirit Cult.

The Holy Spirit Cult was extremely powerful, even surpassing the Body Sect.

Besides Shrek Academy, it was likely the strongest force on the continent.

"When will you take me to meet that Silver Dragon King?" Qian Renxue shot Qian Ran a playful look. She felt a bit reluctant at the thought of leaving him for a while.

"Let's wait until I've built up more resources. Right now, our strength isn't enough to stand before the Silver Dragon King."

"You're right. I'll wait until I've secured control over the Holy Spirit Cult; it shouldn't take long. But before I go…"
