Qian Renxue walked with unhurried steps, a repulsive fake smile on her face, subtly winking at her attendants.
The attendants understood and immediately surrounded Qian Renshang, who was feasting.
One of them suddenly raised his voice, saying in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, isn't this our famous Gu Siyue, the so-called unparalleled genius?
Look at her, look at her, how come she's acting like a country bumpkin who's never seen the world, just eating and drinking without any manners?"
His voice was shrill and jarring, particularly jarring in the otherwise lively ballroom.
The surrounding people's attention was drawn to him, and they whispered among themselves.
Gu Siyue, this name is still quite well-known these days!
Immediately, a heated discussion broke out, and everyone looked at Qian Renshang!
"Is this the young genius from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?
It's said he single-handedly suppressed a six-ring Soul Emperor!"
This guy looks only a teenager... is he really that powerful?" "
This guy claims to be invincible among his peers, that's too arrogant."
He was certain Qian Renxue hadn't recognized him yet, but the two of them seemed to be naturally incompatible, so... he didn't want to back down.
Qian Renxue's expression stiffened slightly; she hadn't expected Qian Renshang to be so direct.
Ye Lingling and the other two girls were also shocked.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked at Qian Renshang with concern, wanting to come over but being stopped—was it going to be a fight?
Everyone was still very interested!
"But I heard he has a conflict with His Highness the Crown Prince. It seems the Crown Prince's intentions are rather hostile this time.
This brother is in trouble."
Qian Renshang stopped eating, slowly raised his head, and spoke in a low voice.
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, clearly reaching everyone's ears in the quiet ballroom.
Some people showed gloating expressions, while others looked on with curiosity.
"Brother Gu, you've misunderstood... This is just a friendly spar, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Feel free to voice your opinions; the author will read reasonable ones. "
Everyone present was also very curious!
"It's just... none of us here are geniuses, but who dares to speak like that?
You must know that the Douluo Continent is vast, there are heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people!"
Qian Renxue smiled gently.
"Brother Gu..."
The Soul Emperor was the first to be affected, his body unsteady from the shockwave, his face instantly turning pale.
"Invincible among those of the same level? I didn't say that... but..."
The men's eyes were filled with amazement and admiration, while the women were both envious and ashamed.
The silver-haired girl was like the most dazzling star in the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention and becoming the focus of the entire ballroom.
The middle-aged man in golden armor spoke in a deep voice, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold.
Everyone in the room was shocked; their eyes widened, their mouths agape, completely stunned by this sudden scene.
He was going to teach his older sister a lesson today... He didn't want to compete not because he couldn't, but simply because he was too lazy to.
Now, she had no choice but to ask Gu Yuena for help… She felt that Gu Yuena was definitely no weaker than Gu Siyue!
Thump! Thump!
A graceful figure slowly came into view.
A peerless woman appeared with light steps, wearing a white dress that fluttered in the breeze, like a fairy descending from the clouds.
The white dress was made of superior material, shimmering softly under the light, as if carrying a mysterious halo.
Her skin was as white as snow, appearing even more translucent against the white dress.
Goodness, this is the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire!
Brother Gu, you're too bold!
Qian Renshang expressionlessly fixed his gaze on Qian Renxue, his icy gaze seemingly capable of freezing a person.
He spoke directly, "Your Highness, do you have anyone else?
If you do, just go for it, don't drag it out."
He had yielded for three years when they were young, that was enough!
"This is..."
A cold glint flashed in Qian Renshang's eyes. He roared fiercely, unleashing a golden dragon roar that swept outwards like a surging wave.
"You are indeed quite weak... and your method of provoking me is rather childish. You want to stand up for your master, huh?
Then come on!"
"Hehe... Since Brother Gu is so confident, I can't refuse.
I recently met a friend who really wants to challenge you!" The crowd was swayed by his words, thinking Qian Renshang was too arrogant.
"I'm too weak... Haha."
The golden-armored man chuckled.
He was, after all, the commander of the Knights Order, a six-ring Soul Emperor, not far from becoming a Soul Saint, yet he was being called weak.
Qian Renshang stood tall and straight, like a majestic mountain, radiating a chilling aura.
But before he could recover, Qian Renshang attacked again.
A golden dragon claw appeared out of thin air, shining brightly, and grabbed at him with unparalleled force.
"Then I'll have to learn from you... Should we change venues?
After all, this place is too small to operate freely!"
Qian Renxue was also dumbfounded!
Qian Renshang said softly, leaving the Knights Order commander somewhat bewildered.
The next moment!
A cascade of long, silver hair fell over her shoulders, swaying gently and radiating a captivating sheen.
Qian Renshang, expressionless, spoke directly: he had endured this for a long time.
Did she really think he had a good temper?
Qian Renxue felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, yet she was unwilling to show weakness, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
Everyone present was stunned, shocked by her beauty.
For a moment, the entire ballroom fell silent, everyone staring at the silver-haired girl, as if time had stopped.
Anyway, she had learned enough; it wasn't impossible to just tear off the mask and leave the Heavenly Dou Empire.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like stars, her nose straight, and her lips as luscious as cherries.
Those eyes held a cold and noble quality, making it difficult to look directly at her.
The previously noisy ballroom instantly fell silent; everyone stared at Qian Renshang in disbelief, their hearts filled with shock and awe.
He instantly released his martial soul, displaying six soul rings—two yellow, three purple, and one black—showcasing his strength as a six-ring Soul Emperor!
"Hypocritical!"
Qian Renshang frowned, filled with doubt. Who could give Xue Qinghe such confidence?
But it was unnecessary now; he waited quietly.
(PS: Meeting early is fine, I even wasted a lot of the drafts I'd already written… the main point is to be obedient and not procrastinate.)
He directly revealed his conflict with the Crown Prince, completely unlike the previously kind and polite young man!
In the blink of an eye, the Soul Emperor was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
Qian Renxue smiled slightly behind him; she wanted to provoke him, even if her technique was somewhat clumsy!
Soon, crisp footsteps sounded.
"Nothing much, just heard you claim to be invincible among your peers… I'm a little unconvinced, so I'd like to challenge you!"
Everyone around was intimidated by Qian Renshang's aura, not daring to breathe, the atmosphere in the entire ballroom extremely tense.
"What's wrong?"
Qian Renxue was both surprised and frightened.
She felt that even if she went up against Gu Siyue, she would hardly be a match for her.
Although she was furious inside, Qian Renxue's expression remained calm.
Qian Renshang was already in a bad mood today because he had just been fooled by that fleeting glimpse of Gu Siyue.
He naturally knew that this was Qian Renxue's doing.
Wherever the dragon claw passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
Qian Renxue's expression also turned cold. She clapped her hands lightly, triggering the signal to contact Gu Yuena.
When he saw the figure clearly, Qian Renshang was struck dumb!
Qian Renshang looked around, and finally his gaze met Qian Renxue's. He took a deep breath.
"No need, there's no need to deal with you!"
Qian Renshang stood up, staring expressionlessly at the golden-armored man in front of him.
