Douluo: Marry Shui Binger, reward Puni Martial Soul

Chapter 34: Showdown with Qian Renxue, Brothers? They should be siblings, right?
Ye Yuci walked closer to Xue Lingxiao, her almond-shaped eyes swept over Feng Ling beside her, her lips slightly parted, and she asked in a gentle voice:
"Fifth Prince, we are acquaintances. I won't ask any more questions. I just want to know where my daughter is."

"Doctor Ye, please rest assured. Your daughter is fine. She is staying at my house as a guest. If you are worried, you can follow me out of the palace and go to the prince's house to take her home."

"Then I'll have to trouble the Fifth Prince."

Ye Yuci nodded. Just as Xue Lingxiao and she were about to leave, a servant ran up to them and said respectfully to Xue Lingxiao:
"Your Highness the Fifth Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince invites you."

Qian Renxue is looking for him? Xue Lingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly. He turned back to Ye Yuci and showed a hint of apology, then pointed at Feng Ling and said:
"I'm sorry, Doctor Ye, but the Crown Prince has invited me and I have to go. Why don't you let her accompany you to the Prince's Palace first?"

"Yeah." Ye Yuci now only wants to take her daughter back. It doesn't matter who takes her to the prince's mansion.

After watching Ye Yuci leave with Feng Ling, Xue Lingxiao withdrew his gaze from the plump back of Haitang, the mature woman, and left the imperial study with his attendants.

But after following the servants' lead and passing through several corridors, Xue Lingxiao discovered that this was not the road to the East Palace, but the Qiyuan Hall.

Qiyuan Hall was the residence of the young prince. Xue Lingxiao lived here before he left the palace to set up his own residence.

When they arrived at the front hall of Qiyuan Palace, Qian Renxue had been waiting for a while. She had Xue Qinghe's face, and was dressed in a white and gold dress. She was gentle and elegant. The royal temperament accumulated over the years was apparent on her, adding a bit of dignity to her.

Seeing Xue Lingxiao coming, Qian Renxue smiled at him and greeted him gently.

"Ling Xiao, how have you been recently?"

"Thank you for your concern, Prince. Everything is fine."

Although he didn't know why Qian Renxue was looking for him, but seeing that she looked concerned and Xue Lingxiao didn't say anything bad to her, he wanted to see what Qian Renxue was up to.

Qian Renxue didn't say anything more, but just looked at Xue Lingxiao quietly, her eyes gentle, sweeping over his facial features, from his eyebrows to his jaw, from his eyes to his mouth, as if she wanted to memorize his face deeply in her heart.

After a while, Qian Renxue slowly spoke, her voice revealing memories.

"In the blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed. You've grown up so much now. I still remember when you were still so small and clinging to me, hugging my legs all day long and refusing to let go."

When talking about the past, even Xue Lingxiao, who was thick-skinned, felt a little embarrassed.

In the past, he had done everything he could to win Qian Renxue's favor. If we were to talk about who was her closest person in the palace, it would be Xue Lingxiao.

For Xue Lingxiao, Qian Renxue is also his closest person, and their relationship has surpassed the so-called family ties and blood ties.

It is precisely because of this that Qian Renxue has always turned a blind eye to Xue Lingxiao's previous little actions, and even secretly paved the way for him.

Otherwise, how could Xue Lingxiao's chamber of commerce develop so smoothly and make only profits without losses?

"Ling Xiao, although I don't know when you started thinking about fighting for the throne, and I don't know who is behind you, tempting you to go against me, but you have always listened to me since you were young, and I have always loved you, so listen to me again and don't fight with me."

"I promise you, as long as you listen to me, we will still be good brothers. When I ascend the throne, I will make you the Prince of the Auxiliary State, and I will give you half of the power of Tiandou. Is that okay?"

Qian Renxue began to play the emotional card with Xue Lingxiao, hoping that he would obey her. She really couldn't bear to attack Xue Lingxiao. Hearing this, Xue Lingxiao decisively shook his head and refused. He said in a deep voice, "The struggle for the throne has always been cruel. There is nothing to talk about between you and me. Besides, I can't let the Tiandou throne fall into the hands of outsiders."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Renxue suddenly stood up from her chair, staring at Xue Lingxiao with a serious look in her eyes.

What did he mean by that!? Did he discover his identity?!

Qian Renxue felt a little panicked. She had been hiding for fifteen years. Was all her efforts going to be wasted?
Qian Renxue suppressed her inner panic and said with a forced smile, "Ling Xiao, what are you talking about? What outsiders? It's obviously just the two of us brothers here."

"Brothers? Why do I feel like they should be siblings..."

Xue Lingxiao deliberately emphasized the word "sister". He stopped pretending and confronted Qian Renxue directly.

Qian Renxue's face darkened. How could she not understand the meaning behind Xue Lingxiao's words? The panic in her heart disappeared.

It seems that her good brother has seen through her true identity!

However, Qian Renxue didn't reveal her true colors. Instead, she asked, "Ling Xiao, even if I'm a girl, you and I both share the bloodline of the Tiandou royal family. I'm at most disguised as a man. How can I be considered an outsider?"

"Brother, stop quibbling. I once asked the palace midwife who delivered Xue Qinghe, and she said that Xue Qinghe is a real man, not a woman. So there is only one possibility: someone switched you with Xue Qinghe."

Xue Lingxiao was not in a hurry to reveal Qian Renxue's identity, he just wanted to force her little by little.

Qian Renxue looked at Xue Lingxiao. She was a little curious. When did this stinky little brother discover her true identity?
Was it during a bath as a child? Or was it when he secretly touched himself one night?

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with shyness. She said coquettishly, "Stinky brother, even though I am a girl, my martial spirit is the swan, which is a martial spirit only possessed by the Tiandou royal family. I am naturally of royal blood, so how can I be considered an outsider?"

"Heh~ Swan Martial Spirit, ask yourself, which Swan Martial Spirit has cultivated to the Soul Emperor realm at the age of only 25, and even then while being entangled in multiple affairs? If it weren't for those trivial matters, I'm afraid you would be more than a Soul Emperor now."

Xue Lingxiao snorted softly, exposing Qian Renxue's lies once again. This made Qian Renxue's face even uglier. She gritted her teeth and said:
"Ling Xiao, you are really observant. You even know my brother's soul power cultivation clearly. I really underestimated you."

"Big Brother, you're too kind. Now that we've opened up, let's be honest. I want to know: was it you who I've been clinging to for the past fifteen years, or did you replace him somewhere along the way?"

Xue Lingxiao's eyes narrowed. Although he knew that Qian Renxue had replaced Xue Qinghe a long time ago, he still wanted to confirm it.

Qian Renxue saw Xue Lingxiao become serious, but a playful smile appeared on her face. She asked, "Is there any difference?"

Xue Lingxiao: "Of course."

"Okay, I won't hide it from you. As early as when I was nine years old, I replaced Xue Qinghe. For the past fifteen years, it was me who has been with you and taken care of you!"

Qian Renxue admitted it openly. As for the possibility of walls having ears, this place had been cleared out by Snake Spear Douluo long ago, so it was impossible for anyone to hear her conversation with Xue Lingxiao.

Xue Lingxiao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. No wonder he asked that question. After all, it was better to keep licking Qian Renxue than to lick Xue Qinghe and then lick Qian Renxue!
