Chapter 171 - Ye Lingling's Confession

The members of the Heaven Dou Vice Team returned to the rest area. Yang Yuan greeted them with a smile and said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhuqing, you performed well."

Praised by Yang Yuan, a smile instantly appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's cold and elegant face.

"It's all because the Class Monitor taught me well!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

At that moment, Qian Renxue also walked over from a distance.

Seeing her, Yang Yuan teased, "Brother Crown Prince, why are you here?"

Qian Renxue smiled and asked back, "What, am I not welcome?"

"Of course not, but I thought the seats in the VIP area might be a bit more comfortable."

Qian Renxue gave a slight smile and said, "Right now, you all are the pride of our Heaven Dou Empire. As the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, it's only natural for me to come and offer my condolences."

As she spoke, she looked at the members of the Heaven Dou Vice Team: "I have seen all of your performances. No matter what results you achieve in the end, once we return to the Empire, I will report to His Majesty and request a title of nobility for each and every one of you."

Yu Feng chuckled and asked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, what kind of title?"

Qian Renxue glanced at him and smiled, "At least a Viscount."

"That's great!" Yu Feng's eyes lit up.

In the crowd, Ning Rongrong muttered softly.

"Only a Viscount?"

Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the others were similarly unmoved.

Given their statuses, let alone a Viscount, they wouldn't even care if they were given the title of Earl.

After returning to the hotel together, Qian Renxue suddenly said, "Xiao Yuan, come with me."

Yang Yuan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and replied, "Alright."

After saying that, he followed Qian Renxue.

Seeing the two of them leave, the others didn't think anything was wrong and went their separate ways.

Yang Yuan, meanwhile, followed Qian Renxue to her room.

As if he were returning to his own room, he walked to the sofa and plopped down, leaning back like a lord.

"Is there any water?"

"Pour me a glass of water, or tea is fine, whatever."

At Yang Yuan's casual tone of command, Qian Renxue shook her head with a smile and pulled out a tea set from somewhere.

A short while later.

Qian Renxue brewed the tea and poured it for Yang Yuan; for a moment, the aroma of tea filled the air.

Seeing Yang Yuan pick it up to take a light sip, she couldn't help but smile and say, "This tea is called Jade Dragon Fragrance; it costs one hundred gold coins per gram."

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Yang Yuan's face.

After a moment, he nodded in agreement.

"No wonder I felt it didn't smell as fragrant as the tea leaves Rongrong brought me last time. She said the tea she brought was five hundred gold coins per gram."

Qian Renxue's hand holding the teacup stiffened slightly, and she gave a light cough.

"As expected of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, truly wealthy and powerful."

Seeing her like this, Yang Yuan immediately burst into laughter.

"Brother Crown Prince, I was just joking."

"The tea you pour for me, even if it's only worth a copper coin, is a delicacy of the human world to me."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue felt a slight warmth in her heart. A soft smile appeared on her face as she teased, "Count yourself lucky for making amends in time."

"By the way," Yang Yuan put down his teacup and looked calmly at Qian Renxue, "did Brother Crown Prince call me here specifically for something?"

Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, her fingers unconsciously rubbing the warm teacup, before she suddenly threw out a seemingly abrupt question.

"Xiao Yuan, if one day you suddenly discovered that I am not actually the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, would you... still consider me a friend?"

As she asked this, Qian Renxue's heart hung slightly in suspense.

Hearing this, Yang Yuan understood.

The "Brother Crown Prince" was testing his attitude!

It seemed she was prepared to lay her cards on the table with him.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan gave Qian Renxue a meaningful look. Meeting her slightly nervous gaze, his tone was relaxed and certain.

"My friend is you as a person, not your status."

"So what if you're the Crown Prince?"

"Even if you weren't the Crown Prince, as long as you wanted it, I could still help you become the Crown Prince, or even the Emperor."

Yang Yuan's words undoubtedly sounded like treasonous talk, but to Qian Renxue's ears, they were filled with pleasant surprise.

She almost subconsciously blurted out, "Are you serious?"

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she immediately realized her reaction was too excited. Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly looked up at Yang Yuan.

She saw the handsome youth opposite her, squinting his eyes like a lazy and cunning fox.

With a meaningful smile on his lips, he was gazing at her at his leisure.

"Brother Crown Prince, you look very excited?"

"What, did my words just now move you that much?"

Yang Yuan teased.

Qian Renxue's heart suddenly thudded!

What kind of look was that?

A shocking thought instantly flashed through her mind.

Could it be that she had already been exposed!

How could that be possible?

One must know that her disguise couldn't even be seen through by a Titled Douluo.

Yang Yuan was only a Spirit Saint!

But at the thought of Yang Yuan's pupils that seemed to encompass all things, Qian Renxue suddenly became uncertain again.

She couldn't help but test him: "Did you already know?"

As she spoke, her gaze was locked firmly onto Yang Yuan's handsome face.

Yang Yuan chuckled and said, "Brother Crown Prince, what do I know?"

"Hmph, you really did see through it!"

This time, Qian Renxue reverted to her original voice.

She had known Yang Yuan for eight years and was naturally well-acquainted with his manners and behavior.

When she said those words just now, Yang Yuan's expression was natural without the slightest change. Clearly, he had seen through her disguise long ago and was just waiting for her to confess.

This bad guy!

Qian Renxue muttered inwardly.

Then, a soft, holy, and faint golden light emanated from her body, instantly enveloping her.

When the light dissipated, Qian Renxue had also restored her original appearance.

Pale golden long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, replacing the previous short hair;

A curvaceous female figure replaced the originally tall and slender male frame;

Her casual clothes also automatically adjusted and changed, turning into a simple yet elegantly noble pale golden long dress.

Qian Renxue looked at Yang Yuan with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"You brat, when did you see through my disguise?"

Yang Yuan naturally couldn't say he had known her identity from the very beginning.

He said slowly, "After breaking through to level seventy, my eyes gained an ability to see through illusions. Although your disguise is very clever, it still cannot escape my Dharma Eye."

"So that's how it is."

Hearing this, Qian Renxue came to a sudden realization.

"Your Eye Martial Soul is truly perverted. Do you know that even a Titled Douluo can't see through my disguise?"

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Sister Qianxun, you've kept me in the dark for so long!"

Qian Renxue gave a light hmph and said, "You saw through my disguise and also kept me in the dark by not telling me? We're even."

"Alright." Yang Yuan shrugged, blinked his eyes, and said, "Sister Qianxun, then you should tell me your true identity now, right?"

The corners of Qian Renxue's mouth curled up slightly, a flash of mischief appearing.

"Guess?"

Yang Yuan shook his head.

"I'm not guessing. There's no reward for guessing right."

"Who says there's no reward?"

"As long as you guess correctly—but if you guess wrong, you have to fulfill one request from your sister."

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke.

"Fine, it's a deal!"

Yang Yuan agreed without hesitation.

Seeing him agree so decisively, Qian Renxue instead became hesitant.

But on second thought, even if Yang Yuan could see through her disguise, he absolutely wouldn't be able to guess her identity.

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's red lips curled up slightly, looking full of confidence.

At that moment, Yang Yuan suddenly leaned into her ear and said mischievously.

"Sister Qianxun, I forgot to tell you one thing. Actually, my eyes can also directly see what your Martial Soul is."

"If I remember correctly, the Seraphim should be the Legacy Martial Soul of Spirit Hall, right?"

"So... Your Highness the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, this little brother didn't guess wrong, did he?"
