The next day!
"Knock, knock, knock"
The sound of knocking came, "Crown Prince, are you awake? It's me, Xu Sheng!"
Inside the room, Xue Qinghe heard this, and released the ability of his skull, "Come in."
Only then did Xu Sheng push the door open and enter...
But after seeing the other party clearly, he was somewhat surprised and said, "Crown Prince... Ren Xue, why did you release the soul bone ability? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
Although this is the domain of the Pope Hall, don't forget, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong are staying nearby!
Qian Renxue lightly bit her lip, "What, Xu Sheng, do you really not want to see me like this?"
The idiot, it's obviously because of him that she released the soul bone ability!
Xu Sheng immediately replied, "Of course not. Being able to see you like this, I'm also very happy."
Qian Renxue's mood improved a lot, "That's more like it."
Seeing this, Xu Sheng continued, "Ren Xue, I heard from Sect Master Ning and them that your attitude yesterday was probably caused by the attack of abyssal creatures, right?"
"Are you feeling any better today?"
Qian Renxue was somewhat confused...
She behaved like that yesterday? What does it have to do with the attack of abyssal creatures?
Thinking of this, she immediately explained, "Don't listen to their nonsense, this matter didn't affect me."
Xu Sheng became even more puzzled, "If not... then Ren Xue, were you intentionally avoiding me yesterday?"
Could it be that he had somehow offended her?
To the point that she didn't even want to speak!
Qian Renxue was completely shocked, seemingly not anticipating that he didn't realize the reason at all, "Xu Sheng, you..."
However, the next second, she turned her head slightly and asked softly, "Let me ask you, what is your relationship with Hulena?"
Xu Sheng answered without hesitation, "Naturally, she's a friend. After all, after I joined the Martial Soul Hall, I could be considered a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation."
Although he didn't know why Ren Xue asked this, he answered honestly!
Qian Renxue squinted her eyes and said sourly, "A friend? Really just that? She hugged you in front of everyone yesterday!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng seemed to realize something and began to think quickly...
Could it be, Ren Xue's attitude towards him was due to Nana's actions yesterday?
Therefore, in a sincere tone, he said, "Ren Xue, Nana never behaved like that when interacting with me before. I also don't know why it happened yesterday."
Qian Renxue watched him for several seconds; after confirming he wasn't lying...
She mused, "It seems I misunderstood."
In that case, Hulena probably sees Xu Sheng as a brother figure!
She didn't even listen to Xu Sheng's explanation and left him hanging for a day!
Seeing that she seemed to calm down, Xu Sheng then continued, "Ren Xue, can we talk now?"
Qian Renxue forced herself to remain calm and nodded, "Alright, I will temporarily forgive you!"
At such a time, it's best not to explain!
After a pause, she added, "So, tell me, what is it you came to find me for?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng became serious as well, "Ren Xue, regarding the cooperation with the royal household and the upper three families, you should have already sent someone to inform the Worship Hall, right?"
Qian Renxue noncommittally replied, "Mm, before coming here, I guessed that this might happen, so I already sent someone ahead to deliver the message."
"Because of this, I was almost discovered by Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong!"
Fortunately, they seemed to think she was sending someone to deliver a message to the imperial palace, so they didn't pay too much attention!
After a pause, she eyed Xu Sheng suspiciously, "Xu Sheng, you seem to be very concerned about this matter."
Xu Sheng was stunned for a moment and truthfully answered, "Yes, my goal from the beginning has been to eliminate those abyssal creatures. Therefore, uniting all forces is the best way."
Qian Renxue frowned, "But Xu Sheng, you should know that even at the point of human survival, conflicts between different powers can't be completely erased!"
The idea is good, but achieving it is still unrealistic!
Xu Sheng pressed his lips, "I am very aware of this."
"But if we don't unite, we will only be defeated one by one by the abyssal creatures, and by then, it will be too late for anything!"
The reason he appeared so anxious about this matter was because the growth rate of abyssal creatures, with the help of the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Spear, was far superior to that of humans!
Seeing this, Qian Renxue also felt heavy-hearted, "Are abyssal creatures really that terrifying? To the extent that even you are helpless!"
If there were another way, she believed Xu Sheng wouldn't choose to have the Continent's forces join hands to resist the enemy!
The uncertain factors are just too many!
Xu Sheng didn't know how to explain it, so he chose the simplest way...
"Ren Xue, let's say it this way, in countless millennia in the future, the human world was nearly destroyed by abyssal creatures!"
"Especially the strength of the Abyssal Emperor, which far exceeds the God Rank!"
Qian Renxue's eyes filled with astonishment, "Beyond...God?"
For human Soul Masters, breaking through the God Rank is as difficult as reaching the skies!
But even so, one is still an unmatched existence in this world!
Yet, according to Xu Sheng, the Abyssal Emperor's strength far surpasses a God!
Is this really something humanity can contend with?
Seeing that her mindset was somewhat shaken, Xu Sheng comforted her, "Ren Xue, don't overthink it. Upon coming to this world, both the Abyssal Emperor and I have experienced a huge drop in cultivation level, so it's naturally not in peak state!"
"Humans still have a chance to defeat them!"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, regaining her composure, "I understand, then... is there anything I can do?"
If the human world were destroyed by abyssal creatures and ceased to exist, what good would controlling the royal household do?
After all, this plan hinges on completely annihilating the abyssal creatures first!
Xu Sheng smiled slightly, "Thank you, Ren Xue, but like what you're doing now, you're already helping me."
Qian Renxue immediately understood what he meant, "Got it. I'll do my best to push this cooperation to success!"
"Additionally, I heard that the cooperation between Sea God's Island and the Martial Soul Hall failed. If Grand Elder intervenes, maybe..."
Xu Sheng shook his head, "I'll find another way for this matter, no need to trouble the Grand Elder."
Qian Renxue was somewhat disappointed but still nodded, "Alright, if you need help with anything, don't hesitate to tell me!"
Being both the Martial Soul Hall goddess and the Crown Prince of Tiandou Empire right now should make her quite useful to him!
For matters others find hard to handle, maybe she can manage!
Xu Sheng didn't pretend to be modest, "If I need it, I will."
"Sect Master Ning and Bone Douluo are approaching here, I will take my leave first."
Though nothing would happen if discovered, it would inevitably involve some explanations!
