Forget it.
Tang Yuehua sighed inwardly and said, "I'm somewhat acquainted with Xue Qinghe. There's a chance we could get the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud if it's in his hands."
"He loves talent and respects scholars. Perhaps after knowing your second brother's identity, he might be willing to offer the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to win him over."
Tang San was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Aunt, then I'll trouble you to introduce us."
Tang Yuehua nodded, saying no more.
The Crown Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue had been very troubled these past few days. Her current identity prevented her from obtaining the diary's reward. She had been repeatedly pondering the purpose of her visit to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Really going to continue?
Of course.
Previously, Qian Renxue had such determination, the main reason was to prove herself to Bibi Dong, she wanted to gain Bibi Dong's approval.
But now, after reading the diary, her greatest belief had long since vanished. Coupled with the improvement of Hu Liena and the others, and the existence of Su Chen, this made her feel increasingly discouraged recently.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the owner of Moonlight Pavilion requests an audience."
Upon hearing the guard's words outside, Qian Renxue's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
Tang Yuehua?
Why would she suddenly come to find her? Could it be that she suspected her identity?
That shouldn't be the case!
Su Chen never revealed in the diary copy that Tang Yuehua knew Tang San's identity, nor was it possible for her to know her own identity.
"Let her in!"
Qian Renxue replied, then walked out to greet them.
In the courtyard.
Qian Renxue saw that Tang Yuehua was accompanied by two people. One was a disheveled, mad-looking man with a hint of authority, and the other was young, but appeared very composed.
Tang San?
Tang Hao?
In an instant.
Qian Renxue's mind immediately connected them to Tang Hao and Tang San, father and son. After some careful thought, she even guessed at their intentions.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Tang Yuehua greeted them with a bow, accompanied by Tang Hao.
Qian Renxue's expression softened as she said gently, "There's no one else here, Aunt Yuehua, no need to be so formal. Please, come inside."
Having been disguised as Xue Qinghe for so many years, Qian Renxue was still very composed. Even though she had guessed that the two were Tang Hao and Tang San, and despite the murderous intent that arose within her, she didn't reveal anything.
Hate.
She truly hated them.
Su Chen had clearly written in his diary that Tang Hao and his son had killed her entire family!
The main hall.
Qian Renxue had tea brought in to serve the guests.
Tang Yuehua began the introductions:
"Your Highness, this is my elder brother, Tang Hao, also known as Clear Sky Douluo. And this is his son, Tang San."
Qian Renxue feigned surprise and said, "It's actually Clear Sky Douluo?"
"Please forgive my lack of preparation."
Tang Hao's expression was calm as he replied, "Your Highness is too kind."
After a few pleasantries, Tang Hao asked, "Your Highness, it is said that the Heaven Dou Empire possesses a national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. I wonder if we might be able to see it?"
Indeed!
Qian Renxue felt like laughing, you father and son are really something else. Coming to me looking for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, I really have to give you credit, you're brave!
Playing right into my hands.
"Clear Sky Douluo is interested in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Tang Hao hesitated, then nodded, "That's right!"
"I'm quite curious, and I wonder if Your Highness could lend it to me for a look?"
Qian Renxue didn't reply, instead taking a sip of tea. She was thinking, according to the contents of Su Chen's diary, Tang Hao should be seriously injured right now. Should she just have someone kill the two of them?
Doing so might expose something, but she didn't know if it was worth it...
At this moment.
Tang San stood up and took out an item—the Zhuge Godly Crossbow, and said, "I've prepared a gift for Your Highness for my first visit. It's a weapon I made myself, called the Zhuge Godly Crossbow."
"This thing's power is quite good. If hit directly, anyone below the fortieth rank of Soul Power would hardly survive."
"Oh!"
Bibi Dong sneered inwardly. Tang San, Tang San! You really think I, Qian Renxue, am an idiot, trying to trade a piece of junk hidden weapon for my Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?
"This thing is indeed good. It would be very suitable for auxiliary soul masters."
Tang San nodded, adding:
"This item can be mass-produced and equipped within the army."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue raised her eyes and looked at Tang San, asking:
"You want to exchange the manufacturing of this item for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Tang San didn't expect her to be so direct, and after hesitating, he nodded.
"If Your Highness the Crown Prince can bear to part with it, Tang San is not only willing to offer the blueprints for the Zhuge Godly Crossbow, but also, my father and I are willing to serve Your Highness for ten years."
Bibi Dong feigned surprise upon hearing this.
"Are you certain?"
"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, in exchange for ten years of service from Clear Sky Douluo?"
Tang San looked at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao nodded seriously, saying, "Yes."
"If Your Highness the Crown Prince is willing to part with it, I, Tang Hao, am willing to serve Your Highness for ten years."
Bibi Dong pretended to be puzzled, saying, "The purpose of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is still unknown. You two must know its true purpose, don't you?"
Tang San thought for a moment and replied, "I know, but this item is useless to others, only useful to me."
Qian Renxue feigned hesitation, and said in a low voice, "The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is a national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire. Although I am the Crown Prince, I have no right to give it away."
"This..."
Tang San was a little annoyed.
You, the Crown Prince, don't even have this much authority? Can't you make a decision on such a small matter?
Tang Hao also frowned. If he wasn't currently lacking in strength, he would have already taken it by force.
Tang Yuehua remained silent, she was also powerless in this matter.
"It's not that there's no way."
Qian Renxue's expression suddenly tightened, and she whispered: "I will put the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud back in the national treasury later. Tonight, I'll arrange for someone to help you steal it from the treasury."
"I think with Clear Sky Douluo's strength, if he knew where the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was, he could take it from the treasury without a sound!"
Tang Yuehua, hearing this, was about to explain Tang Hao's situation, but saw Tang Hao give her a look, telling her not to reveal anything yet.
"Yes!"
Tang Hao spoke up: "As Your Highness has said, we can put the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in the treasury, and we can take it away without anyone knowing."
"In return, the conditions we offered earlier still stand."
Tang San also nodded, saying: "After getting the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Tang San will immediately hand over the Zhuge Godly Crossbow blueprints."
Qian Renxue feigned delight and said:
"The blueprints are nothing, to have the support of the Clear Sky Douluo, is Qinghe's fortune."
She said,
Qian Renxue got up and personally poured tea for Tang Hao.
Heh! This is truly delightful.
The enemy comes to me, even when I'm just sitting at home.
Wonderful!
Qian Renxue also felt amused. Stealing from the national treasury was a death sentence.
We'll meet in the Heaven Dou Empire's prison tomorrow. Then, I'll settle accounts with the two of you.
