Looking at the two figures standing before him, Tang Chen frowned slightly, a sudden unease stirring in his heart.
The golden-haired young man, with his gentle deanor and extraordinary presence, was unmistakably Xue Qinghe. But who was the beautiful and aloof golden-haired woman beside him?
Her appearance seed to vaguely resemble Qian Renxue. If she was Qian Renxue, then the Xue Qinghe standing here must be the fakest of fakes!
"Brother Xue, long ti no see," Tang Chen said, stepping forward. Despite his inner doubts, he cupped his hands and spoke respectfully, allowing a hint of familiarity into his tone.
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe's gentle gaze imdiately fell upon Tang Chen. He offered a faint smile and replied, "Brother Tang, I didn't expect such a big change in your appearance after only a few months".
"Brother Xue, how did you recognize at a glance?" Tang Chen's heart skipped a beat. A flash of hesitation crossed his eyes as he asked, feigning disbelief.
"Alas..." Xue Qinghe sighed softly, his eyes holding a look of frankness, perhaps even a touch of sha. "I hope you won't be angry, Brother Tang. When you first arrived in Heaven Dou City, your brother worried you weren't familiar with the place and might encounter trouble. So... I secretly sent people to follow you. Because of this, I'm aware of so of the things you've experienced recently."
"So that's what happened," Tang Chen said. He raised an eyebrow. Although he felt a bit displeased, he didn't show it at all, maintaining a calm smile.
Xue Qinghe looked at him with that sa gentle gaze. His lips curved into an almost imperceptible arc as he said, "Brother Tang, is there anything you need from today?"
After a mont of contemplation, Tang Chen looked directly at Xue Qinghe, his tone steady and decisive. "Brother Xue, since you're well aware of my recent affairs, I'll get straight to the point.
As you know, I have a good relationship with Poison Douluo, and I plan to establish an Academy with him. However, establishing an Academy in Heaven Dou City requires Imperial approval and a large sum of money. You told before that if I ran into sothing I couldn't resolve, I should co to you. So, here I am."
Tang Chen smiled slightly and added, "Don't worry about the money; I'll definitely pay you back later".
Xue Qinghe didn't answer right away. Instead, he glanced at the golden-haired woman beside him, seemingly using his spirit power to secretly transmit so information to her. A mont later, he withdrew his gaze, looked at Tang Chen, and said slowly, "Brother Tang, since you specifically ca to , your brother will naturally help you with these two matters."
"However, I also have a request."
"What request?" Tang Chen frowned slightly, confused.
Xue Qinghe pointed to the golden-haired woman and slowly said, "Brother Tang, her na is Xiao Xue, and she's my adopted sister. She has now reached the age where she can join an Advanced Spirit Master Academy. Since you're establishing an Academy, why not let her join your Academy later and train with you?"
Hearing this, Tang Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he froze. His gaze instinctively fell upon the golden-haired woman. The more he looked, the more familiar she seed.
Isn't this Qian Renxue from the original story? Why isn't she properly impersonating Xue Qinghe? What kind of act is this?
After a mont of silence, Tang Chen nodded, reluctantly agreeing. "Alright, since you brought it up, Brother Xue, I can't refuse".
As his words fell, Qian Renxue imdiately smiled slightly. She extended her hand to Tang Chen and said warmly, "Hello, Brother Tang Chen. You can just call Xiao Xue from now on. After joining your Academy, you must take good care of , okay?"
Seeing this, Tang Chen imdiately reached out and shook her hand, nodding as he responded in a low voice, "Alright, I definitely will". But in his heart, a sudden feeling of dread arose...
Departure and Disclosure
Ten minutes later, Tang Chen left the Crown Prince Residence, his figure gradually disappearing into the night.
Just then, Xue Qinghe, who had been standing in the hall, suddenly knelt down. He respectfully cupped his hands toward the golden-haired woman beside him and said, "Young Lord, I was presumptuous just now; please forgive ".
Qian Renxue waved her hand gently and said with an indifferent, calm voice, "It's nothing, you may rise".
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe slowly stood up. His face subtly shifted, gradually transforming into the appearance of an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.
His Spirit was his face, a Body Spirit from ten thousand years later, which allowed him to freely change into any appearance. This Spirit Master was a master cultivated by Spirit Hall with imnse effort.
His purpose was to prevent a situation where Qian Renxue suddenly needed to leave Heaven Dou City and there would be no one to continue impersonating Xue Qinghe.
Compared to Qian Renxue disguising herself, this Spirit Master could not disguise his own Spirit power aura, so he couldn't deceive Titled Douluo-level Spirit Masters.
The next second, a golden light flashed beside Qian Renxue. Snake Lance Douluo's figure suddenly appeared.
Seeing the newcor, Qian Renxue's golden eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Uncle She Long, did you miss anything regarding Tang Chen's recent movents?"
Hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo frowned slightly, his expression sowhat grave. He said solemnly, "Except for the depths of the Sunset Forest, where I didn't follow into Dugu Bo's poison array, I followed him everywhere else. After all, if I were to intrude into Dugu Bo's poison array, he would detect ."
"Very good," Qian Renxue nodded, her voice neither cold nor warm.
"By the way, have you found anything about the identity of the Golden-haired woman and the Red King who recently appeared beside Tang Chen?"
She Long Douluo's expression grew even more solemn. He shook his head. "Nothing at all. The Red King's strength is extrely powerful, but there isn't a single piece of information about him on the entire continent. Young Lord, should we report this to the High Priest?"
Qian Renxue gently waved her hand. "Not yet. Let everything proceed according to my plan. Later, I'll approach Tang Chen under another identity to probe his background. Let's see who these two truly are!"
Hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo's expression changed slightly. He hesitated, saying in a low voice, "Young Lord, won't this be too risky? If the High Priest finds out..."
Snake Lance Douluo's words were cut short by Qian Renxue's cold interruption. "This matter is decided; there's no need for further discussion". With that, she imdiately turned and left the hall.
If this were in another World, such an action would indeed be sowhat foolish. But this was the Love Continent!
Douluo Dialogue
Just then, a red light flashed in the hall, and Porcupinefish Douluo's figure suddenly appeared beside Snake Lance Douluo.
He looked at Qian Renxue's retreating back with a bewildered expression, his eyes wide as he asked, "Snake Lance, what do you think is wrong with the Young Lord? Why does she suddenly insist on approaching this Tang Chen under another identity? Although this guy's identity is suspicious, he might be..."
Snake Lance Douluo shook his head, a little speechless. "I think the Young Lord has fallen for this Tang Chen. She's afraid that Xiao Rui'er will snatch him away, and that's why she wants to quickly get close to him."
Hearing this, Porcupinefish Douluo was stunned. Then his expression changed, and he asked in confusion, "Afraid of being snatched away by soone else? Wouldn't it be simpler for the Young Lord to just snatch him back?"
As soon as he said this, Snake Lance Douluo looked at him as if he were an idiot. With a hint of sarcasm in his tone, he said, "Porcupinefish, have you never been in love?"
Porcupinefish Douluo's old face flushed red. He puffed out his chest and laughed confidently, full of self-assurance. "We Cultivators, with our formidable strength, don't need to talk about love. If I like a woman, I just snatch her and mate with her! Wouldn't that be simpler?"
Snake Lance Douluo looked speechless, shook his head, and snorted. "All you know is mating! Forget it. Since you've never been in love, don't speak anymore".
The Master's Visit
At the sa ti, outside Shrek Academy, a refined middle-aged man stood at the entrance, his expression cold.
Beside him was a white-haired elder holding a long sword, his eyes as sharp as cold stars, as if they could pierce through all illusions.
