Chapter 237 Reunion with Qian Renxue
Inside the palace.
Ye Qifeng settled the girl on the spacious, soft sofa and then left her alone.
He put the girl to sleep with his acupressure point; she probably won't wake up until she's slept for most of the day.
Once Qian Renxue returns, we can leave it to her to handle.
I believe she will handle it well.
Then Ye Qifeng began to tour the palace.
The palace was very large and divided into several areas.
The largest area is the main hall's front hall, and there are other areas, including a reception area, a dining area, a tea area, and even a special area for displaying green plants.
In addition, there are many other rooms in the palace.
For example, there is a bedroom for sleeping, a study for storing calligraphy, paintings, antiques and various books, a cultivation room for cultivation, and supporting washrooms, bathrooms and toilets, etc.
Take a casual look around and tour.
Ye Qifeng eventually settled in the study.
Ye Qifeng glanced at the calligraphy, paintings, and antiques inside, then paid no more attention to them.
He wasn't interested in those things.
As far as I can remember, Qian Renxue was not interested in these things either. The reason she collected and displayed them in her study was probably just for show, to impress others.
Besides calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, the study also has a huge bookshelf filled with a vast collection of books, neatly categorized and arranged.
My eyes quickly scanned the categories pasted on the top edge of the bookshelf.
Ye Qifeng discovered that the most numerous books here were about politics and governance strategies, followed by books about martial spirits and cultivation, then books about military warfare and tactics, and finally other miscellaneous books.
Think about it too.
In order to successfully impersonate the Crown Prince and solidify her position as heir apparent, Qian Renxue must focus on learning about politics and governance strategies. Otherwise, if her political skills are not up to par, Xueye will not delegate power to her, and she will easily be criticized and attacked.
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly as his gaze swept over the books on martial spirits and cultivation once more.
I recalled a scene.
Back then, on the shore of Blue Lake next to the Spirit Hall orphanage, Qian Renxue, relying on her age, always tried to suppress him.
Seeing that he often spent all day lying on the rocks reading books about martial spirit theory, one day, Qian Renxue suddenly had a whimsical idea and challenged him to a contest to see who had mastered more martial spirit theory. She even proposed that if he lost, he would have to call her "sister".
As a result, Qian Renxue was completely overwhelmed by him and had no chance to fight back.
However, the strong-willed Qian Renxue seems unwilling to admit defeat.
She was still thinking about winning back.
So I followed his example and started reading books on martial spirit theory.
Later, however, Qian Renxue accepted Bibi Dong's mission to steal the country and infiltrate Tiandou City, pretending to be the Crown Prince of Tiandou.
That matter ended there without any resolution.
Seeing these books about martial spirits and cultivation, Ye Qifeng's heart tightened. Could it be that she hasn't given up on the idea of defeating me and making me her younger brother?
this.
Ye Qifeng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
After a moment, I had to force myself not to think about it in that direction.
As for books on military strategy and tactics, Qian Renxue, now the crown prince of a country, may not be an expert in these areas, but she must at least understand them.
Therefore, learning is also necessary.
Having figured these things out, Ye Qifeng slowly walked to the area of martial spirits and cultivation knowledge, took out a few books he had never read before, returned to his desk, and sat down in a soft and comfortable chair.
Night Wind has excellent perception.
Not long after he sat down, he smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance, which was the same as the scent he remembered on Qian Renxue.
Thinking back, Qian Renxue probably used to sit here often in her spare time, reading and studying.
After all, she is a girl, naturally possessing a natural fragrance. Moreover, she is a proud daughter of heaven like Qian Renxue, even with the disguise skills of the Angel Set Soul Bone, which can change her appearance and conceal her aura.
Over the years, if you stay in one place for a long time, you will inevitably pick up and accumulate some of the original body's aura.
Furthermore, the palace is Qian Renxue's private place, and no one else usually comes here. It's not impossible that she might remove her disguise and return to her original appearance when she returns here.
After all, living with someone else's appearance all the time is a very tiring thing.
Given the chance, she will definitely choose to shed her disguise and relax.
but.
The remaining aura here was extremely faint; if Ye Qifeng hadn't possessed exceptional perception, he wouldn't have even noticed its existence.
Therefore, he guessed that the place where Qian Renxue could relax and unwind after shedding her angel disguise was not here.
But elsewhere. For example.
A locked room?!
Thinking of this, Ye Qifeng's expression immediately turned strange.
Why do so many people from Qianjia like playing escape rooms?
Let's not even talk about Qian Xunji, that scumbag; he's the infamous Douluo of the Secret Chamber.
That old man Qian Daoliu must also have a private room. It's possible that Qian Xunji learned this trick from him.
And now, Qian Renxue has also started playing escape room games?
Ye Qifeng suddenly felt an urge to find this secret room and go inside for a look.
But after a moment's thought, I decided against it.
If he were to see something he shouldn't, and Qian Renxue found out, given her personality, she might really come after him with the Angelic Sword.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly remembered that his teacher, Bibi Dong, also seemed to have a private room, which should be inside his Holy Son's Palace.
After all, that used to be the Temple of the Holy Maiden.
Ye Qifeng lived there for four years and never paid much attention to what was in the Holy Son's Palace. Everything was still as it was during the Holy Maiden's Palace period.
Although he had shared a bed with Bibi Dong for several years, Bibi Dong had never mentioned the existence of the secret room to him.
Just because it wasn't mentioned doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Hmm, I can look for it more carefully next time I go back.
With his thoughts racing, Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly, stopped thinking about it, and picked up a book to read.
As the rulers of the entire Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou royal family's research on martial spirits and cultivation is naturally incomparable to that of the Spirit Hall, but they do have some merits.
Its collection of martial spirit theory books is quite extensive, and many of them are not even available in the Spirit Hall.
Many of the books that Qian Renxue placed on the bookshelf were like this.
Ye Qifeng watched with great interest.
Because of his amazing memory, he read books extremely quickly, flipping through one book after another.
During this time, Ci Xue instructed Qian Renxue's personal maid to bring her food.
Snacks, fruits, wines, drinks, and all sorts of delicacies are available, tempting the appetite.
Ye Qifeng simply moved the books out of the study.
In the main hall of the palace, we ate and watched.
Then they waited for Qian Renxue to return.
Time flowed slowly, and soon it was afternoon.
"Finally back?!"
Hearing voices coming from outside the palace, Ye Qifeng, who was lazily lying on a sofa reading a book, put down the book, raised his dark and clear eyes, and looked out as if through the palace gates, landing on the tall and imposing Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Clan.
A smile involuntarily spread across his lips.
Outside the palace gate.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of Tiandou, wore a pair of clean, white silk gloves on her slender hands. She paused slightly as she pushed open the palace door.
Then he pushed it away without hesitation.
He immediately put on a gentle and refined smile, stepped directly into the palace, and as usual, closed the palace door behind him.
Clearly, she had already sensed that someone was in the palace.
Qian Renxue possesses innate level 20 soul power and the divine-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, and has naturally powerful sensory abilities.
Even She Long could sense that someone was in the palace, so she certainly could too.
Clever as she was, she quickly realized that since Ci Xue, who had been guarding the place, hadn't stopped this person from entering the palace.
This shows that the person who came did not pose any threat to her.
Ci Xue didn't even report to her, which suggests that the people in the palace were likely acquaintances, possibly from the Spirit Hall.
But oddly enough.
In her perception, the aura inside was extremely weak, and the heartbeat was even softer, like that of an ordinary little girl.
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, and with curiosity, she followed the source of the aura directly.
Not long after.
Qian Renxue arrived at the sofa in the front hall of the main palace.
"Is it really a girl? Where did she come from?"
Looking at the girl wrapped in a thin quilt and sleeping peacefully on the sofa, Qian Renxue's eyelids twitched, her head full of question marks.
The girl looked to be about the same age as him, around sixteen, just coming of age.
She looks pretty good and has a decent figure; she's a typical beauty, but she's nowhere near as good as me.
Qian Renxue compared them in her mind, slightly raised her chin, and felt inexplicably proud.
"Huh? They're not wearing any clothes?"
The next moment, Qian Renxue noticed something was wrong and her brows furrowed.
Why did a naked girl suddenly appear in the palace?
Is this some kind of conspiracy or trick targeting me?
Are you trying to frame me and damage my reputation?
What kind of tactic is this? It's so vulgar!
Qian Renxue was filled with mixed emotions. Having used political maneuvering and imperial tactics too much, she was suspicious of everything and immediately assumed that someone was trying to frame her.
That's unlikely; such methods are far too crude, and besides, they pose no threat to her whatsoever.
She herself is a woman, and she is not interested in women.
Qian Renxue frowned and pondered for a moment, then felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Forget it, why think so much? Just wake her up and ask her directly."
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, walked straight forward, bent down, and reached out to pat the girl's face to wake her up.
"You are Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Tiandou?"
Just then, a soft, gentle, and somewhat lazy male voice rang out from behind.
But it was Ye Qifeng who spoke.
In fact, the moment Qian Renxue stepped into the palace, his gaze remained fixed on her, never wavering for a moment.
However, Qian Renxue's attention was drawn to the girl on the sofa, and she kept her eyes on her, completely unaware of Ye Qifeng's presence.
Because the powerful passive skill of the third soul skill, Dark Vision Realm, Disguise, was always active, Qian Renxue did not realize that he was also there.
"Who?"
Upon hearing the voice, Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat. She immediately withdrew her hand, stood up straight, and quickly turned towards the direction from which the voice came, her eyes serious and her face full of vigilance.
There were other people inside the palace?!
How could she not have noticed?
Who is this person?
How could its stealth capabilities be so strong?
Is he a Title Douluo?
How could Ci Xue have placed such a powerful figure in my palace?
Or perhaps they didn't even notice the bloodletting?
In a short while, many questions flashed through Qian Renxue's mind.
But his hands never stopped moving. With a smooth motion, he wiped the storage bracelet on his wrist, and a golden knight's longsword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The golden longsword was a royal sword bestowed upon the Heavenly Emperor Xue Ye.
Despite facing danger, she remained mindful that she was impersonating Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heavenly Dou Clan.
Therefore, what he took out was the royal sword, rather than using a weapon-type soul skill, the Angelic Holy Sword.
She turned around abruptly, and the person who had just spoken immediately came into Qian Renxue's view.
Not far away, in the dining area.
There was a boy dressed in black, with long, jet-black hair, and an almost excessively handsome appearance, who looked to be around eleven or twelve years old.
At this moment, the boy was lazily sprawled on a sofa, holding a book in one hand and picking up a crystal-clear grape from the table next to him with the other, stuffing it into his mouth.
The boy's eyes were jet black, clear, and bright, as if they contained the stars and the sea. They looked straight at you, making your heart flutter and unable to resist being drawn into them.
"This posture."
The moment Qian Renxue saw the boy, she suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity, and her heart skipped a beat.
The figure she had been longing for day and night gradually merged with the boy's figure.
Qian Renxue was stunned.
At this time.
Ye Qifeng didn't react much when he saw Qian Renxue.
After all, she is now wearing the image of Xue Qinghe, not her original appearance.
Although he knew clearly that the person in front of him was Qian Renxue, Ye Qifeng couldn't muster much interest in her male appearance.
The Qian Renxue standing before us was a young man in his early twenties.
He had a straight nose and square mouth, a gentle face, and a tall and upright figure, a full head taller than Ye Qifeng. He wore a white dress with gold trim, which gave him a very good impression.
If Ye Qifeng hadn't known from the beginning that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise, he probably wouldn't have suspected his gender.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe, well, Qian Renxue, held a golden sword, her face full of vigilance, but then suddenly froze.
Seeing Qian Renxue's appearance, Ye Qifeng immediately guessed that she must have discovered something.
After all, she's so smart.
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Qifeng put down his book, stood up from the sofa, picked up a wet wipe from the table, wiped his hands, looked at Qian Renxue, smiled slightly, and said gently:
"Your Highness, greetings. Let me introduce myself. I am Ye Qifeng, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"
"What? You, you, who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's pupils contracted sharply, and her heart was in turmoil as an indescribable emotion erupted within her.
"He, he, he's Xiao Feng?! He really came to see me?! Ah~~~"
Qian Renxue's heart was filled with indescribable joy, leaving her mind blank and somewhat dazed.
After a moment of surprise, a sense of grievance crept in, and she began to silently blame herself:
"You brat, you stinky little Feng, why are you only arriving now?"
"Don't you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
"You promised to come see me, it's been almost six years! You bastard!"
"No way, I have to teach you a lesson, hmph~~"
"Now that you're here, you're not getting away. It's time to put my plan into action."
Her mind raced, and Qian Renxue quickly suppressed the ripples in her heart, calmed her pounding emotions, and regained her composure.
"So it was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall in front of me. I am Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Qian Renxue suddenly sheathed her golden sword, straightened her back, put on a gentle smile, and calmly said.
"I wonder, what is the purpose of the Holy Son's sudden intrusion into my palace?"
Qian Renxue abruptly changed the subject, her expression turning serious as she questioned him.
"Huh? Hearing it's me, you don't want to drop your disguise and acknowledge me?"
"You still want to use Xue Qinghe's face to try and get close to me, to trick me into revealing information?"
"Oh, right, Xiaoxue'er probably doesn't know that I know Xue Qinghe is an imposter."
"Alright. Since she wants to play along, let's play along for now. Let's not expose her for the time being."
A playful smile appeared on Ye Qifeng's lips.
"I'm here to find someone."
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, "I received information that the person I'm looking for is in the Crown Prince's palace."
"Entering the Crown Prince's palace was unintentional; please forgive me, Your Highness. I will leave immediately once I find the person and will not harm Your Highness."
"Oh? I wonder who Your Highness is looking for? What is their name? Could you tell me? Since they are from my palace, that's easy. Just tell me, Your Highness, and I can find them for you."
Qian Renxue smiled and said.
"really?"
Ye Qifeng's eyes lit up.
"That's natural."
Qian Renxue stood with one hand behind her back, revealing a confident and trustworthy demeanor.
"actually."
Ye Qifeng paused for a moment.
"Um?"
Qian Renxue was quite perceptive and gave her a questioning look.
Ye Qifeng feigned a sigh and continued:
"Actually, I came to see my wife, Qian Renxue."
Happy National Day everyone! Thank you for your continued support!! Thank you for your recommendations, monthly tickets, and subscriptions!!! I am extremely grateful!!!
