"Master, is this appropriate?"

Back at the First Prince's Mansion, Snake Spear Douluo was quite puzzled by Qian Renxue's actions today.

Qian Renxue now plays the role of Xue Qinghe, who appears to be kind to the outside world. But today, she directly said that she was willing to give Bals' life as a gift to that boy. This is really too risky.

If it was someone else it would be fine, but this Bals is Xue Qinghe's cousin.

You have to know that they poisoned the second prince of the Tiandou Empire at the beginning of this year, and the Tiandou royal family is still conducting an intensive investigation into this matter. At this time, Qian Renxue made such a promise as Xue Qinghe. If that kid tells this matter out, the death of the second prince will be inseparable from Xue Qinghe.

"Uncle She, I know what you are worried about." Qian Renxue took off her disguise.

"But I have my own considerations on this matter."

"Young Master, you have been undercover for many years. You really shouldn't add unnecessary risks to yourself over such a trivial matter." Snake Spear Douluo said.

"You have never felt his domain, so you don't know his value." Qian Renxue said.

"He's worth the risk, and most importantly, he's smart."

"Smart?" Snake Spear Douluo disagreed.

"Now Dugu Bo is his greatest support, but he does not try his best to maintain the relationship between himself and Dugu Yan, and even attributes their friendship to simple sympathy in front of Xue Qinghe."

"If he is really smart, he should take advantage of Dugu Yan's sympathy for him and further consolidate the friendship created by the Bars incident."

"But what he said not only made it seem like there was some distance between him and Dugu Yan, it also showed that his character was somewhat cold."

In a situation where someone is being chased, he would subconsciously take another person with him to escape. This could easily make him portray himself as a man of loyalty and righteousness.

But instead of taking advantage of this, the boy made his intentions clear to Xue Qinghe.

Is this considered smart?

"But what if he did it on purpose?" Qian Renxue said.

Snake Spear Douluo was stunned, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"I told you, he's very smart and he knows what I want to hear." Qian Renxue said.

"Besides, you said Dugu Bo is his biggest support now, but I don't think so."

"From what he said when he mentioned Dugu Bo, it shows that his relationship with Dugu Bo is not particularly good. At least in this matter, their friendship is not enough for Dugu Bo to kill the prince of the Barak Kingdom for him."

Dugu Bo is indeed a loner by nature, and he doesn't show the demeanor of a strong man when he fights, but at the same time, the old poisonous creature doesn't like to cause trouble for himself.

Bals is the prince of the Barak Kingdom, and he is of great importance. If Dugu Yan is really hurt in this incident, or if the girl begs Dugu Bo to kill Bals, then there is a high chance that Dugu Bo will ignore the trouble caused by this incident and take action.

But Dugu Yan has let this matter go, and Dugu Bo will not cause such trouble.

"Young Master means that he thinks Dugu Bo will not help him in this matter, so he deliberately said those words and wanted Xue Qinghe to help him?" Snake Spear Douluo asked doubtfully.

"That doesn't seem to make sense, does it?"

Bals is Xue Qinghe's cousin, and in this matter, Xue Qinghe has been trying every means to help Bals. Why would that guy want Xue Qinghe to help him?

"Normally, it doesn't make sense, but what I said as Xue Qinghe in the tailor shop has already hinted that I don't care about Bars's life or death. What I care about is only the possible outbreak of war." Qian Renxue said.

At that time, Bars was stupid and once again angered Dugu Yan, so she had to change direction and put pressure on Dugu Yan with the righteousness of the war between the two countries. At the same time, in order to strengthen the effect, she also deliberately stated that she was not on Bars' side. She did so much just because she was worried about the outbreak of war.

In this way, Dugu Yan gave up pursuing Bars more because she did not want a war between the two countries and the loss of lives, rather than simply giving face to Xue Qinghe. The favor she owed to Dugu Yan in this matter still existed.

But she didn't expect that Xuan Ming caught her meaning.

"Just because of Xue Qinghe's hint, he said so many things that were unfavorable to himself?" Snake Spear Douluo still couldn't understand.

"If Xue Qinghe is unwilling to help him and tells Dugu Yan what he said, wouldn't he be in trouble?"

Dugu Yan's concern for the boy now is more due to his injury, and Dugu Yan thinks it is because of her injury.

But Xuan Ming's words directly picked Dugu Yan out.

"He was just trying it. Besides, there were only him and I in the yard at that time. There was no third person present. He couldn't prove what I said, and I couldn't prove what he said." Qian Renxue said.

"In this situation, if I tell Dugu Yan these words, do you think Dugu Yan will believe Xue Qinghe or him?"

"If I fail to do this, then I am trying to sow discord."

"He is a child who has just been injured and has been falsely accused and provoked. Dugu Yan will only feel more guilty about him."

"What he said today will allow him to take revenge. Even if Xue Qinghe doesn't help, he won't lose anything."

"This..." Snake Spear Douluo was stunned.

"This boy's scheming is too deep."

"He's very scheming..." Qian Renxue shook her head.

"Not really. He probably just wanted to kill Bars to vent his anger. As for the rest, it's probably just an accident."

"However, whether it was due to deep scheming or accidental, it is worth taking the risk for him."

Snake Spear Douluo was a little worried, "Young Master, if it is really the former, don't you think he is a little too dangerous?"

A six-year-old child has such scheming and calculations. It will be troublesome if Qian Renxue's disguise is discovered in the future!

"Dangerous?" Qian Renxue laughed.

"You think I can't control him?"

"Young Master certainly has this ability." Snake Spear Douluo said.

"But, regarding Bars's matter, we currently don't have any suitable means."

Now everyone in Tiandou City knows that Bals has offended Dugu Yan. In this case, not only must the Bals disappear without anyone noticing and let Xuan Ming do it himself, but the matter must also be distanced from Dugu Bo and not affect the relationship between the Tiandou royal family and the Barak Kingdom. The difficulty is too great.

"It's indeed impossible to do it in Tiandou City, but what if it's not in Tiandou City?" Qian Renxue said.

Snake Spear Douluo was stunned. "Bars is so scared now, how could he dare to leave Tiandou City?"

"Besides, if Xue Qinghe invites him out, if something goes wrong, the suspicion may be transferred to the Tiandou royal family."
