"Don't let me find out who's spreading gossip about me, or I'll make sure they regret it."
As Han Li spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xue Qinghe.
"You don't suspect it's me, do you?"
Xue Qinghe blinked, pointing at himself.
"No, but you need to watch your actions. Xue Qinghe wouldn't make that kind of gesture in public."
Han Li gave a fake smile, offering a bland reminder.
Damn it, being too familiar with someone isn't always a good thing. It's too easy to make subconscious gestures, especially when she's not on guard around that person.
Qian Renxue cursed inwardly, reverting to Xue Qinghe's refined facade.
"It's best if you don't make any big moves recently. You've only just appeared, and there are too many people watching you."
Qian Renxue also offered a reminder, her words clearly implying that she also believed Han Li would target Ye Lingling.
"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble. I'll be leaving soon."
"But afterwards, keep an eye on the Ye Family for me. Just normal attention, so Ning Fengzhi doesn't notice anything."
Han Li thought for a moment and added.
"As expected, you're still targeting Ye Lingling."
Qian Renxue wore an expression that said, 'This is exactly what I expected.'
"I'll talk to you in detail tomorrow. Now isn't the time to discuss this. Alright, we should catch up, Your Highness."
Han Li had no intention of continuing the conversation on this topic, pointing to the others who were already waving at them from the intersection.
"Are those three going with us tomorrow too?"
Qian Renxue quickened her pace slightly, asking in a low voice.
"Yes, you might as well see their strength for yourself then," Han Li said meaningfully.
"Alright, I'd also like to see your talent for nurturing people."
Qian Renxue's tone was equally firm; she refused to be second to anyone in her life.
After another hour of strolling, the appearance of Xue Qinghe had somewhat affected their mood and itinerary, and they soon dispersed.
Du Gu Yan and Ye Lingling said their goodbyes, explaining that they had something to do tomorrow and would look for her after it was over, before returning to the Spirit Hall with Han Li.
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, the group changed into clothes suitable for travel and, accompanied by Dugu Bo, headed to the agreed location to meet up with Xue Qinghe.
Then, they realized that when it came to ceremonial guards, the Spirit Hall really couldn't compete with the Empire. Fortunately, they had a publicly known Titled Douluo with them, so they didn't lose face.
Escorted by over a hundred Soul Masters, they marched grandly towards Xue Qinghe's manor outside the city.
Han Li had already given the Good Son orders to closely monitor everything around them.
Along the way, Dugu Bo went out a few times, then quickly returned.
Qian Renxue didn't react at all; Han Li had already informed her using his Soul Bone.
Around ten o'clock, they arrived at the manor. After arranging for the guards to stay on the outskirts, the group headed deeper inside.
As they walked, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious. He stopped the group behind him, immediately activated his Martial Soul Avatar, and stared ahead as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Alright, Grandfather, put away your Martial Soul. They're all on our side."
After confirming the situation in his mind, Han Li stopped Dugu Bo.
"Alright, it's time for you to show me your true face. Don't worry, everyone here has taken the Martial Soul Oath, and I've confirmed that there's no one else around."
Han Li looked at Xue Qinghe, smiling mischievously.
"Indeed, it's time for a proper introduction. Elders, please come out."
Xue Qinghe said, addressing the area behind him.
At the same time, a layer of golden light flickered on her body.
As the light faded, a stunning woman appeared in her place, wearing a long golden palace dress, her long golden hair casually draped behind her head.
Han Li stared intently, Qian Renxue in front of him looked to be in her early twenties, with skin as white as snow, a straight nose, slightly slender phoenix eyes, and a stunning face with a hint of majesty.
Hmm, not bad, worthy of being one of the popular goddesses. Leaving aside her appearance, her temperament alone is enough to crush most beauties.
"How is it? Pretty?"
Qian Renxue asked Han Li very generously.
"Well, among the people I've met, you can rank in the top three, even more elegant than I imagined."
Han Li was also generous with his praise.
Qian Renxue smiled and took the initiative to extend her hand to him: "Let's get to know each other again, Qian Renxue."
Han Li also extended his hand, gently grasped hers, and then released it: "Han Li."
At this moment, She Mao and Ci Tun also appeared behind Qian Renxue, while the expressions of the people around Han Li were a little unbelievable.
Xue Qinghe, right before their eyes, had turned into a beautiful woman, and the most important thing was that she said her name was Qian Renxue.
They had been living in Spirit City for the past few years, and as members of the Elder Hall, they had more or less come into contact with that Grand Elder, and for some reason, she seemed to pay close attention to them.
Qian, that was the surname of the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder, and also the surname of the Popes before Bibi Dong, a descendant of the Angel Faction.
She, no, it should be said that the Crown Prince who was so popular in Heaven Dou had been her in disguise all along.
What exactly did the Spirit Hall want to do? Strictly speaking, they were all from the Heaven Dou Empire, although they had never been aware of this before, let alone had any sense of belonging.
But this was one of the top forces on the continent.
No, it seemed they were now part of the Spirit Hall, so it was fine.
The Heaven Dou Empire is so miserable, the future heir has been replaced without them even realizing it. Similar thoughts arose in their minds at the same time.
"Should we call you Young Master?"
Seeing that the people behind him had not yet recovered from their shock, Han Li looked at Qian Renxue and took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.
"No need, just call me by my name. Otherwise, according to Broad Hill Grandfather's calculations, I would have to call you 'Little Uncle-Master'."
Qian Renxue said very freely.
The conversation between the two finally brought the people behind Han Li back to their senses. Although Qian Renxue said they didn't need to call her Young Master, they still bowed and addressed her as "Your Highness."
"Alright, let's go in first and let everyone get to know each other."
Han Li took the initiative to suggest, walking towards the main hall ahead.
"Alright."
Qian Renxue did not refuse, choosing to walk side by side with him.
The others followed behind them, silently digesting this bombshell news in their hearts.
"By the way, what's your current strength?"
Qian Renxue turned her head to look at Han Li.
Qian Daoliu's letter to her only briefly mentioned that the girls around him had reached the Soul King level, but did not reveal anything about his strength.
"I'm not talented, just a mere level 59 Soul King."
Han Li did not hide anything. They would be sparring soon, so he would have to say it sooner or later.
"So weak?"
Qian Renxue subconsciously asked, she thought he would be stronger.
