Soul Land—Chapter 53—Qian Renxue: I saved Xue Qinghe's life
'Am I really stupid?' This thought suddenly popped up in Qian Renxue's mind.
She secretly cried out in her heart that it was not good. She originally thought of relying on her plan to proceed step by step, but now it seems that she has miscalculated many things.
Her thoughts were a little confused. She didn't expect that Zhu Zhuqing was not confused by her plan, but took the initiative to attack and directly pointed out the relationship between the two.
This caught Qian Renxue off guard. The countermeasures she had prepared seemed so pale and powerless now.
Sincerity is the most powerful killer move.
The annoyance in her eyes flashed, but then she smiled again.
"You're right, Sister Zhuqing is smart," Qian Renxue chuckled, with a bit of appreciation and relief in her tone, "Indeed, I may have thought it too complicated before. When it comes to feelings, being straightforward may be the best way."
"I like him, and he likes me too." Qian Renxue said lightly.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head, "I know that, but it's not enough."
"Sister Zhuqing should know your situation. You have been in an implicit crisis since you fled from the Star Luo Empire.
Although you have Senior Poison Douluo to escort you, a Titled Douluo is still insignificant at the national level.
Poison Douluo can't always protect you from the wind and rain.
You are now one of the competitors for the heir to the royal family of this generation, and this fact cannot be changed.
Although the Star Luo Empire has not come to hunt you down, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"
Zhu Zhuqing stared at Qian Renxue, with a complex light in her eyes, "So, what do you want to say? Do you want to tell me that you are more suitable to stand on his side than me? Is it because you have a stronger background and more resources?"
Qian Renxue smiled and shook her head, "Not that powerful, but almost. Prince Xue Qinghe's care for us during this period and the friendly attitude of the Heaven Dou royal family towards you all have traces of my intervention.
Believe me, as long as I am here, the Heaven Dou forces can protect Qianyao and you forever."
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly when she heard this, "You rely on..."
"I saved Xue Qinghe's life." Qian Renxue continued Zhu Zhuqing's unfinished words lightly, "That's why he is willing to do me a favor and take care of you.
In addition, I also have some background. Believe me, as long as I want, no one can touch you."
Xue Qinghe:?
"Are you satisfied with this reason, Sister Zhuqing?"
After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuqing laughed, "Sure enough, your identity is not simple."
"Hmm?" Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows and was about to say something, but she heard Zhu Zhuqing continue.
"Are you surprised? I noticed it a long time ago. Your style of doing things and the kind of noble temperament you occasionally reveal are not something an ordinary person can have.
Your first sentence just now has given me a reason to accept you. As long as Qianyao and you like each other, I will not choose to be a jealous woman.
I can't say enough, I just want to see what you are hiding behind you, and now I have got the answer I want.
When do you plan to tell me the truth?"
Qian Renxue clenched her fists and then released them, sighing, "Sorry, Sister Zhuqing, I am afraid that you will have to wait a long time before I can tell you some of the secrets I hide behind you."
"Well, it's okay."
Zhu Zhuqing smiled lightly, stood up, and sat next to Qian Renxue, "Everyone has a secret, but I hope that this secret is told to me by you in person, rather than Qianyao telling me frankly one day."
Qian Renxue gently turned sideways and sat side by side with Zhu Zhuqing. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's relieved smile with a hint of understanding, a strange emotion surged in her heart.
What's wrong with your eyes? Is it tolerance from the main wife? The two people's eyes met at this moment, and they reached an inexplicable tacit understanding.
"Sister Zhuqing, you are different." Qian Renxue said sincerely.
Zhu Zhuqing raised a curve at the corner of her mouth, blinked, and took out a purple butterfly hairpin from her storage soul guidance device. It was the one she bought in the hairpin shop when she and Ling Qianyao first arrived in Heaven Dou City.
That day was also the first time that Qian Renxue, Ling Qianyao, and Zhu Zhuqing met.
However, at that time, Qian Renxue was pretending to be Xue Qinghe in the carriage, while Ling Qianyao and Zhu Zhuqing, wearing a hairpin, stopped and watched in the store.
"For you." Zhu Zhuqing handed over the purple hairpin, "Sister Yun, this hairpin is not expensive, but it is a souvenir of when Qianyao and I first arrived in Heaven Dou City.
I hope it can represent my feelings, and I also hope that the friendship between us can stand the test of time like this hairpin."
Qian Renxue took the hairpin, gently stroking the delicate lines with her fingertips, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.
'I always feel that Zhuqing's position is very stable.' She sighed in her heart.
"Thank you. Help me put it on?" She looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Okay." Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were full of smiles.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Education Committee.
"Qianyao, you are here." The chief, Meng Shenji, who was sitting in the main seat, saw Ling Qianyao walk into the Education Committee and nodded with a smile.
Ling Qianyao bowed respectfully, "Senior Meng, you are looking for me?"
Meng Shenji smiled slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction, "Qianyao, last time you asked to meet Senior Chen Xin and learn a little about swordsmanship, with the help of His Royal Highness, I have arranged it for you.
Senior Chen Xin has always been very caring for our Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He also admires your talent and is willing to give you this opportunity.
Being able to get his guidance will probably be of immeasurable help to your swordsmanship practice.
Although Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, is nominally the teacher of His Royal Highness, but when it comes to the private teaching of a Titled Douluo himself, that is another story."
He suddenly sighed again, "It's a pity that Senior Chen Xin will only perform his swordsmanship once. How much you can learn depends on yourself."
Ling Qianyao chuckled and said, "Senior Meng, don't worry, I will concentrate on it. The way of the sword is about intention rather than form. One demonstration is enough."
Hearing this, Meng Shenji's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded gently, "Okay, let's set off without further ado."
He stood up and led Ling Qianyao out of the Education Committee, leaving the scope of Heaven Dou Royal Academy and heading towards the back mountain.
The two walked along the winding mountain road and finally arrived at a cliff platform on the top of the peak.
The mountains in the distance were looming in the clouds and mist, and several huge rocks were scattered around the platform. An old man in a snow-white robe with white hair and a beard stood quietly with his hands behind his back, his back to Ling Qianyao and the others.
Just standing there, there is an aura of supremacy.
