Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were talking when they suddenly noticed Gu Yuena looking at them.
The two women subconsciously turned their heads to look, and were instantly stunned by Gu Yuena's beauty and temperament.
Gu Yuena's figure was graceful, and her steps were light, like a fairy descending to earth.
Her exquisite features were perfectly proportioned, and when combined, they were breathtakingly beautiful.
Her eyes were deep and bright, as if they held the stars and the sea; her skin was as white as snow, delicate and flawless;
her silver hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, gently swaying in the wind.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stared blankly at Gu Yuena, inwardly marveling, "Why is there such a beautiful woman in this world?
She even makes us feel a little ashamed in comparison."
*Hiss!*
The two women gasped. In terms of looks, they only thought Qian Renshang might be able to rival the woman before them, but Qian Renshang was a man!
Gu Yuena quickly averted her gaze; she had more important things to do today.
Soon!
Xue Qinghe and Gu Yuena sat facing each other, dining together in the luxurious environment of the Tiandou Hotel.
The waiters recognized Xue Qinghe and fawned over him, but Xue Qinghe simply chased them away.
He knew Gu Yuena didn't like strangers!
Xue Qinghe, also known as Qian Renxue, was all smiles, his eyes full of eagerness, constantly serving Gu Yuena food, his words overflowing with concern and flattery, sparing no effort to release his goodwill, trying to win Gu Yuena's favor.
However, Gu Yuena remained remarkably calm.
She remained calm, merely nodding slightly in response to Qian Renxue's attentiveness, and quietly ate her food.
Her eyes showed no emotion, as if everything around her was irrelevant.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue felt a pang of anxiety, but forced herself to remain composed, continuing to try and break the awkward silence.
After about half an hour, Gu Yuena finally couldn't take it anymore.
She put down her chopsticks, her expression serious, and bluntly stated, "Xue Qinghe, when are you finally going to help me find someone?
This can't drag on any longer!"
Her gaze was fixed on Xue Qinghe, her eyes revealing an unyielding resolve.
Her beautiful face was slightly flushed with anxiety and dissatisfaction, adding to her sharp and piercing aura.
Gu Yuena wasn't stupid; she naturally knew what this so-called Crown Prince was thinking.
He simply wanted to recruit her because of her great talent.
But… a mere imperial crown prince wanted to recruit her, the Silver Dragon King and the ruler of all soul beasts, to work for him?
It was laughable!
Qian Renxue was caught off guard by her sudden question, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
Qian Renxue knew that he really couldn't delay any longer.
He coughed lightly and finally reluctantly agreed:
"Haha… Miss Gu Yuena misunderstands me. I'm not delaying; it's just that finding the right person takes time, and I've been a bit busy lately.
But since you've made the request, alright, I'll arrange for someone to look for them right away."
He secretly pondered, feeling that he should have gained a lot of favor from Gu Yuena during this time.
Once he found the person she was looking for, he could then suggest that Gu Yuena work for him, and the chances of success would be much greater.
Thinking of this, a confident smile returned to Qian Renxue's face, as if everything was under his control.
Qian Renxue began asking Gu Yuena for details about the person she was looking for, her eyes filled with urgency and anticipation.
"By the way, what does your friend look like?
Does he have any distinctive features?"
Gu Yuena frowned slightly, starting to think.
But then, her expression suddenly turned awkward.
She bit her lip, her expression somewhat unnatural, because she hadn't seen Qian Renshang for over a decade, and she truly had no idea what he looked like now.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and Gu Yuena was filled with deep helplessness.
A hint of embarrassment crossed Gu Yuena's face as she slowly explained, "I'm so sorry, the friend I'm looking for hasn't been seen for over ten years."
She paused, then continued, "However, I still remember what he looked like when he was three years old."
A gentle light appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes as she began to describe him: "Qian Renshang at three years old was absolutely adorable.
He had big, round eyes, as bright as two sapphires. His chubby little face made you want to pinch it.
And his little mouth was always grinning, revealing a few pearly white baby teeth."
"But that guy was a bit too stubborn, and he loved to laugh. Even if you hit him… he wouldn't cry, he'd just squat to the side and watch you silently."
As Gu Yuena spoke, a warm smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
She was thinking of Qian Renshang again, wondering how he was doing.
Xue Qinghe was completely stunned by Gu Yuena's description. He looked helpless and confused, and couldn't help but say,
"This... what am I supposed to do?
Finding someone in Douluo Continent is already extremely difficult, and now you're telling me you only know what the person looked like when they were three years old, this... how am I supposed to find them?"
He frowned, his eyes full of difficulty, and he inwardly groaned.
Moreover, listening to Gu Yuena's description, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Xue Qinghe's heart.
His expression became somewhat strange, and he thought to himself,
"What's going on?
How come the child Gu Yuena described looks so much like my annoying younger brother?
Just as stubborn, just as annoying."
This thought flashed through his mind, making him even more curious about the person Gu Yuena was looking for.
But it was just curiosity; Qian Renxue didn't believe that such a coincidence was possible in this world!
Gu Yuena felt she was asking too much, but she had no other choice; she genuinely didn't know what Qian Renshang looked like now.
However, she was confident that if she saw Qian Renshang again, she would recognize him immediately.
"If not... then I won't bother you any longer."
Gu Yuena got up to leave, but was immediately stopped by Qian Renxue.
"Who said I can't find him... My Heavenly Dou Empire has a powerful intelligence network.
Miss Gu, don't be impatient.
As long as I'm willing to pay the price, there's no one on this continent that I, Xue Qinghe, can't find."
Qian Renxue said confidently, not wanting to fail at the last minute; she was determined to recruit Gu Yuena.
"Alright!"
Gu Yuena finally agreed, but Qian Renxue added with a slight smile,
"However, I need you to agree to one condition first."
"What condition?"
Gu Yuena wasn't surprised; it would be strange if there were no conditions.
"Accompany me to a ball!"
Qian Renxue smiled.
