Looking at the pure and beautiful Chen Qingling, whose mood was low, Qian Renxue felt a void in her heart.
She thought of her own mother…
Heh, she was a cold and heartless mother, who became agitated at the sight of her and wished she would just die far away.
Sigh!
"Little sister Qingling, don't be too sad. I believe that you will eventually find your closest relatives."
"If there's any news, I will definitely let you know."
"Thank you…"
Qian Renxue smiled slightly and took out a gold token from her bosom.
The gold token had a simple design, but it contained a special flow of energy. A character for "Heaven" was engraved on it.
"Since that's the case, I won't stay any longer, little sister Qingling. Take this token. If you need anything in the future, you can come to the palace to find me with it."
Chen Qingling looked at the gold token being offered, hesitating.
Seeing Qingling hesitate for a moment, Qian Renxue explained, "I don't have any other intentions, little sister Qingling. Just take it. This gold token is just my personal symbol and has no other use."
Hearing Qian Renxue say this, Chen Qingling couldn't refuse, so she picked up the heavy gold token and put it into her spatial soul tool.
"Little sister Qingling, how about we have lunch together?" Qian Renxue suggested.
"Eat?" Chen Qingling looked at Shui Binger beside her, then at Qian Renxue.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was dressed as a man. She didn't really like eating out alone with a man.
If it had been a woman, Chen Qingling wouldn't have refused, but alas, Xue Qinghe was a man.
"Uh… no, thank you, Xue-xiong, for the kind offer."
"Alright then." Seeing that Chen Qingling didn't want to have a meal with her, Qian Renxue didn't force it.
"Qingling-meimei, until we meet again." After saying this, Qian Renxue turned and left.
Watching Qian Renxue depart, Chen Qingling stared at her back, and the more she looked, the more she felt something was off.
"Qingling? Qingling? Qingling!!!"
With the calls echoing in her ears, Chen Qingling gave a start. "What's wrong?"
"Qingling, I saw you staring at the Crown Prince's back for a long time. You wouldn't be…" Shui Binger looked gossipy, a mischievous smile on her face.
Chen Qingling rolled her eyes. "You're overthinking it. I just thought Xue-xiong's back looked strange, not quite right. It didn't feel like a man."
Shui Binger: ??!
"Doesn't seem like a man? Qingling, you must be mistaken. The Crown Prince is a man, how could he not seem like one? You must be getting old."
Chen Qingling frowned. Her intuition told her she wasn't wrong.
But Qian Renxue's appearance was undeniably male!
That's why Qingling felt so strange.
Then, a flash of inspiration struck.
When in doubt, ask Daddy! Daddy knows everything, there's nothing he doesn't know!
"Daddy, do you know about Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire?" Chen Qingling silently asked in her mind, hoping to learn the truth from her father.
Far away in a thatched cottage in the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Shenggē, who had just laid down, was startled awake again upon hearing his daughter's words.
"Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
"Isn't that Qian Renxue in disguise!"
Upon hearing her father say that Xue Qinghe was a woman in disguise, Chen Qingling realized her intuition had been correct!
"Father? Why would Qian Renxue disguise herself as a man?"
At this moment, Chen Qingling still didn't grasp the seriousness of the situation.
"Well… she did it for a greater cause? Or perhaps her ideals led her to replace the real Xue Qinghe."
"She didn't want to resort to war, to cause too much killing."
"Huh?!" Chen Qingling was completely bewildered, not understanding at all.
Until she heard, "She didn't want to resort to war, to cause too much killing."
She thought Qian Renxue should be a good person.
Regardless of her identity, with that point in her favor, Qingling felt Qian Renxue couldn't be a bad person.
Not wantonly killing innocent people, wasn't that a good thing? As for why she was replacing the original Xue Qinghe, Chen Qingling didn't care at all. Everyone had their own difficulties and standpoints; from her perspective, this method was the best option.
But from an outsider's perspective, it was definitely a bad thing.
"Father, so who is Qian Renxue?"
"A member of the Qian family from Martial Soul Hall."
Upon hearing the words "Martial Soul Hall," Chen Qingling fell silent.
"She, like you, is also a person with a difficult fate!"
"Do you think it's a hard life?"
Chen Qingling's eyes sparkled. Though she had a feud with the Martial Soul Hall, it didn't mean she hated everyone within it, nor would she destroy it for personal gain.
She only considered those who had crossed her as enemies, and those who had killed Xiao Wu's mother! As for the others? As long as they didn't seek their own demise, Qingling wouldn't interfere.
The Martial Soul Hall was, in a sense, a good organization, helping commoners awaken their martial souls and even providing subsidies to low-level soul masters.
This proved that the Martial Soul Hall was a good force, just with some bad people mixed in.
If the Martial Soul Hall were truly destroyed, how would the common people awaken their martial souls? Then, Chen Qingling would become a sinner, preventing them from awakening their martial souls.
At the same time.
Noticing Chen Qingling's shifting emotions, Shui Binger couldn't help but feel concerned.
"Qingling, what's wrong?"
Chen Qingling shook her head repeatedly. "I'm fine. I'll go back first, and I won't disturb your cultivation, Binger."
"Huh?!"
Before Shui Binger could react, Chen Qingling dashed off, running back to her own dormitory.
"So, he really is a woman!"
Her eyes darted around, considering, "I wonder what she really looks like? I'm so curious!"
On the other side.
No sooner had Qian Renxue stepped out of Skywater Academy than Vice-Principal Shui Linger hurried over. "Greetings, Prince Qinghe."
"It was remiss of Skywater Academy not to properly host you."
Qian Renxue waved her hand. "It's alright. I'm just here to see the genius, Chen Qingling."
"Would you like to come in for some tea?"
"No thank you, I have other matters to attend to."
"Farewell, Prince Qinghe."
After Qian Renxue left, the voice of Elder Snake Lance echoed in her mind.
"Young Master, this Chen Qingling is extraordinary. She will inevitably clash with the Martial Soul Hall in the future."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly. She knew what Martial Soul Hall had done to Chen Qingling before.
Clearly, they were already on bad terms, and it was difficult to change that.
"That's right. I can only try to resolve the grudges, and take it slowly."
"Young master… I have something to say, I don't know if I should."
"Speak freely, Elder Snake Lance."
"When you, young master, were saying goodbye to Qingling, I noticed that her eyes were not quite right. Could it be that she saw through your disguise?"
Qian Renxue frowned, a vague sense of foreboding in her heart, but she still forced herself to remain calm.
"Elder Snake Lance, do you think I would be exposed?"
"No."
