Chapter 93: The Solution to the Rotation Policy
It was destined to not be an easy task to seize control of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Qian Renxue had been preparing for this for nearly ten years, and it was highly likely that she would need another decade to accomplish this monumental feat.
Yet, she didn't feel much turbulence in her heart about it.
As long as it was for the Spirit Hall, what harm would it be to sacrifice another ten years of youth?
Her grandfather had fought for the Spirit Hall for over a century.
Her father had also died for the Spirit Hall.
As the heir to the Angel Clan, dedicating her youth to unifying the continent under the Spirit Hall was undoubtedly worthwhile.
Qian Renxue's gaze subtly swept over Ye Tian.
If she could obtain someone incredibly intelligent to assist her, her future endeavors would undoubtedly go smoothly.
Of course, before that, one thing had to be done, and that was to assess Ye Tian's abilities.
Seeing is believing. Everything Ye Tian had done before was only something she had faintly speculated on.
She had never seen it with her own eyes.
However, the method to confirm Ye Tian's capability was simple.
It was the matter that her sister had been brooding over recently: the solution to the rotation policy.
Without a doubt, her grandfather strongly opposed the rotation policy, as it risked destabilizing the foundation of the Spirit Hall.
Any mistake could push a large number of Spirit Master clans towards the two empires.
As for the Spirit Master clans themselves, it goes without saying.
After all, no one would willingly leave their familiar homeland to take up a post in a foreign place.
The problem with the rotation policy was complex and of great significance, so much so that even Qian Renxue herself couldn't untangle it.
In her sister's considerations, she had only thought of the promising prospects of the rotation policy, without focusing on the immediate practical issues.
If Ye Tian could solve this problem, he would undoubtedly leave a significant mark in the history of the Spirit Hall.
It would also indirectly prove that he was a rare talent.
After crafting a speech in her heart, Qian Renxue cast a beautiful gaze towards Bibi Dong.
She had already passed on the letter her grandfather had asked Douluo She Long to deliver to her sister the previous night.
After reading it, her sister uncharacteristically fell silent.
It was well known that the Pope's Hall and the Worship Hall had long been at odds, with many conflicts between Bibi Dong and Qian Dao Liiu in the past.
Qian Renxue understood that even her sister knew how difficult it would be to implement the rotation policy at this time.
When Qian Renxue turned her gaze towards Bibi Dong, the latter was quite surprised.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, unsure of what Qian Renxue was up to.
When it came to Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong mostly felt reluctance to face her, as she represented the most painful period in her life.
Next to that, there was guilt. No matter what, Qian Renxue had always been an extremely innocent child.
As she grew older and gained more experience, this sense of guilt deepened.
However, Qian Renxue was also constantly growing, and now she was a poised and graceful adult.
Bibi Dong knew that the estrangement between them as mother and daughter might never disappear.
Qian Renxue's glance at Bibi Dong was purely a reminder that she was about to test Ye Tian.
Next, she would get straight to the point.
Staring at Ye Tian, who was tidying up the letters on the table, Qian Renxue casually mentioned:
"The situation on the continent has really been changing rapidly lately."
"Ye Tian, did you know? The Spirit Hall is preparing to implement a new policy to rotate all its officials."
Rotate the officials?
Hearing this, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha."
He then chuckled and shook his head.
"What do you mean by that, brother?" Hu Liena scratched her head in confusion. Wasn't the rotation policy something Ye Tian himself had proposed not long ago?
Was he mocking himself?
For a moment, Hu Liena was perplexed.
Even Bibi Dong's eyes flickered with confusion. She knew Qian Renxue's purpose in saying this was to probe Ye Tian's thoughts.
However, Ye Tian's expression was somewhat puzzling.
Was he mocking the Spirit Hall?
Ye Tian had no intention of explaining at first, since he was well aware that the blonde girl before him was the famous Qian Renxue.
But hearing Hu Liena's question, Ye Tian changed his mind.
If he didn't offer Qian Renxue some guidance, the situation on the continent might soon spiral out of control.
He raised his head and explained, "The Spirit Hall is courting disaster with this move."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was both surprised and slightly disappointed.
She had expected Ye Tian to offer some unconventional insights, but instead, his words were almost identical to those from the Worship Hall.
"Huh?"
A puzzled Hu Liena let out a sound of confusion.
Ye Tian's words were completely opposite to what he had said before.
When Hu Liena had first met Ye Tian, she had personally heard him say that if the Spirit Hall wanted to grow stronger, it had to implement the rotation policy.
How had his opinion changed so drastically in less than two months?
And now, he claimed that the Spirit Hall was heading for self-destruction by implementing the rotation policy.
Her eyes filled with doubt as she stared at Ye Tian.
Was Ye Tian trying to mislead Qian Renxue, not wanting the Spirit Hall to grow stronger?
"Why is that?" Qian Renxue directly voiced the question in all three women's minds.
Ye Tian smiled, speaking casually to Qian Renxue: "It's simple. The rotation policy will inevitably cause short-term chaos within the Spirit Hall."
"With two major empires as formidable enemies outside, such chaos would be fatal. The two empires wouldn't miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation."
"At that point, the two empires would capitalize on the chaos, and the Spirit Hall would lose a significant number of affiliated Spirit Master clans, suffering a massive blow."
"With the empires gaining and the Spirit Hall losing, the outcome is clear."
At the end of his explanation, Ye Tian shrugged.
Although he still had some goodwill towards the Spirit Hall, these words were merely meant to advise Qian Renxue.
Whether the Spirit Hall would stop the rotation policy in time was no longer his concern.
These words shocked Qian Renxue.
She had never considered that the Spirit Hall's policy wasn't just an internal matter but also involved the two major empires.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong, too, seemed to wake up from a dream.
In a continent surrounded by wolves, if cracks appeared within the Spirit Hall, it would be torn apart in an instant.
"Is there no solution?" Hu Liena looked at Ye Tian with hopeful eyes. "With your wisdom, surely you have a solution, right?"
Ye Tian chuckled, glaring at her. She was such a naïve girl.
If he revealed the solution, wouldn't he be exposing his talents in front of others?
"Maybe there is, but I don't know." Ye Tian said calmly.
He had already decided not to involve himself in the affairs of the Douluo Continent anymore. In a few days, he would move to an island to live in peace.
He didn't want to get entangled with any more factions during this time.
Seeing Ye Tian's expression, Hu Liena quickly covered her mouth, realizing she had misspoken.
But in her heart, she was secretly delighted. Ye Tian definitely had a solution!
