When Qian Renjue's carriage departed from the Dugu residence,
Qian Renxue, who had still been lying in bed, immediately kicked off the covers and quickly rose.Her loose, cool nightgown was already replaced with her regular attire.
Without a moment's pause,
Qian Renxue pushed open the door and swiftly flew toward the Dugu residence's backyard.
She had to be faster than Qian Renjue—otherwise, she might miss it.
Swish!Her goose-yellow, fitted long dress fluttered like a butterfly in the wind.
Qian Renxue leapt down from the eaves, toes touching the garden's ground, just about to sprint.
A timid voice sounded beside her.
"Miss Xue—"
"Hm?"
Qian Renxue stopped in her tracks.
Turning her head, she saw Dugu Yan and Hu Liena standing under the pavilion, eyes fixed on her.
"Good morning, Miss Xue,"
Dugu Yan bowed respectfully.
Hu Liena looked at the hurried Qian Renxue with curiosity, polite and inquisitive.
"Miss Xue, is something the matter?"
"Ahem."
Qian Renxue cleared her throat, quickly straightened, hands behind her back, posture erect, head held high:"Nothing, I'm just taking a stroll."
"..."
Hu Liena and Dugu Yan exchanged glances, unconvinced.
Yet out of respect for Qian Renxue's authority, they dared not ask further.
Qian Renxue exhaled in relief.
Just as she was about to continue, she stopped again and glanced sideways, asking:
"What are you two doing here? Having a duel?"
"N-no, not at all!"
Hu Liena waved her hands frantically.
Hastily explaining: "We—we just happened to run into each other."
Dugu Yan nodded repeatedly beside her.
"Good then."
Qian Renxue nodded with satisfaction.
She warned once more: "You'd better not make things difficult for Renjue."
"We won't."
The two girls replied in unison, hands clenching at their hems, a bit guilty.
"Alright then, I'm in a hurry."
Qian Renxue ignored them, lifting her steps toward the backyard gate.
"Miss!"
Swish!Another voice rang out, stopping her again.
Repeated delays made her frown as she looked at the approaching Porcupine attendant.
"Cut to the chase!"
The attendant stood respectfully at her side.
Glancing at Dugu Yan and Hu Liena, he assumed they had annoyed his mistress again and reported respectfully:
"Miss, news has arrived from Soto City."
"Oh?"
At the mention of Soto City, Qian Renxue's previous annoyance vanished instantly.
Ignoring Hu Liena and Dugu Yan, she instructed the attendant:
"Go on."
The attendant paused, bowing slightly.
"Miss, according to Zhao Wuji's annual report—
"In the past year, a Food-type Soul Master with innate full soul power appeared at his academy."
"Hmm."
Qian Renxue murmured thoughtfully, recalling some impression of that Food-type Soul Master. Her Martial Soul was sausages, right? And they could fly?
The attendant asked:"Miss, should we have Zhao Wuji approach him?"
"An innate full soul power Food-type… unprecedented,"
"But what's the use?"
Qian Renxue looked up, voice tinged with disdain.
"A rare exception. Can he guarantee all future generations will have full soul power?"
"But Miss, he does have the potential of a Title Douluo."
The attendant's expression was odd.
What was her mistress thinking? This was an innate full soul power—something extremely rare.
The Spirit Hall, with the largest number of Soul Masters, had barely produced a Food-type Title Douluo in all these years.
"Then let Zhao Wuji try. If it fails, leave it for now and find an opportunity to deal with him later."
Qian Renxue waved indifferently.
She then added:"Also, have him report every two years for the next few years. Adjustments can be made later."
"Understood."
The attendant nodded.
"Good."
Qian Renxue nodded once more.
"If there's nothing else, you may leave."
"Yes."
The attendant bowed and withdrew.
Seeming to fear he might follow, Qian Renxue held her head high and strode out of the courtyard.
As soon as she stepped outside, her previously leisurely pace instantly shifted into a sprint toward the Tianbao Tavern.
At the same time, she placed a goose-yellow conical hat over her head.
"Miss?!"
The attendant turned around only to realize that Qian Renxue had vanished without a trace.
He urgently asked Hu Liena and Dugu Yan:
"Where did Miss go?"
Hu Liena, face filled with bewilderment, explained truthfully: "Miss Xue said she was just going out for a stroll."
…
Half an hour had passed since Qian Renjue departed.
Tianbao Tavern.
On the second floor, in the private room for Purple-Gold members.
Qian Renjue had just arrived, taking in the room Qian Renxue had personally reserved.
The room was simple but elegant.
A glazed chandelier in the center of the ceiling scattered warm light.
Beneath it lay a classic beast-skin carpet, the space around rather open.
A dining table, sofa, and tea table were simply arranged.
Though simple, the materials used were luxurious—plain yet heavy, modest yet refined.
Against one wall stood a proper bed.
In each of the four corners were fine agarwood pillars, adding a touch of classical elegance.
Qian Renjue relaxed.
Luckily, Qian Renxue hadn't booked some bizarre room.
Otherwise, he would have had to wait outside.
He could only imagine that if Ye Lingling had come, she would have run off and made him reserve a new room.
Qian Renjue leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest.
Thinking of what he should say…
Outside the tavern door.
The carriage from the Nine Hearts Begonia Ye family arrived on schedule.
Ye Lingling entered the tavern alone, confirmed the room with the staff,
and immediately a maid came forward to guide her to the second floor.
At this moment, Ye Lingling seemed odd, head lowered, hiding her dull apricot-colored eyes.
Standing at the agreed room door, she hesitated for a moment, then lifted her delicate hand and lightly knocked on the heavy door.
Knock knock!
In the quiet room, the thick pearwood door made a muffled sound.
Qian Renjue quickly opened his eyes.
Rubbing his face, he slowly got up and walked to the door.
"I'm here."
Thud.Though the door was thick, it opened silently.
The door was slowly pulled aside by Qian Renjue.
Their figures gradually appeared before each other, each revealing half their body.
Qian Renjue lowered his gaze slightly, quickly noticing the still lifeless look in her eyes.
Calm, her veil unmoving.
Ye Lingling raised her eyes to the half-visible face before her.
Even after only glimpsing it two years ago, she could still mentally reconstruct Qian Renjue's full features.
And those warm purple eyes.
With Qian Renjue standing partially in the dim light, one could still feel the warmth of sunlight.
The door fully opened.
Their figures reflected completely in each other's eyes.
Qian Renjue froze.
Ye Lingling before him was clearly different from how he remembered.
Sensitive and delicate in thought, she immediately noticed the unusual expression in his eyes.
Quickly, she lowered her gaze, nervously clutching her clothes.
Her whole body felt uneasy.
