"Qingling little sister, I've thought for a long time… struggled in my heart… and in the end, I still don't want to lie to you."
"Lie to me?"
"Lie to me about what?"
Chen Qingling's eyelids twitched. Could it be that Qian Renxue was about to tell her the truth?
It shouldn't be, right! Isn't this Qian Renxue's secret?
Why would she want to tell her?
Does she have some purpose in mind?
"Qingling little sister… actually…"
"I'm a woman disguised as a man. My real name isn't Xue Qinghe, it's Qian Renxue."
Chen Qingling feigned a surprised expression, covering her small mouth.
"Brother Qinghe, don't joke around. This joke isn't funny at all."
Qian Renxue stared intently at Chen Qingling. Looking into her unwavering gaze, she no longer avoided eye contact like before. It was impossible to tell whether she believed it or not.
At this moment, Qian Renxue realized that her once-young Qingling little sister had quietly grown up.
"Qingling little sister… do you think I asked you out alone just to play this joke?"
"Or did you want me to personally show it to you so that you would believe me?"
Chen Qingling furrowed her beautiful brows. "Brother Qinghe… your appearance makes it hard to convince people."
Qian Renxue smiled faintly. "Is that so? Then let me show Qingling little sister my true appearance."
A flash of golden light appeared around Qian Renxue.
When Qingling opened her eyes, she saw Qian Renxue in a female outfit.
"Do you believe me now, Qingling little sister?"
"I believe you."
"I know you might not understand why I had to disguise myself as a man," Qian Renxue bit her red lips.
"Being in a high position often means you have no choice. I was sent as an undercover from a young age, infiltrating the Tian Dou Empire, taking the place of the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."
"My purpose was naturally to control the Tian Dou Empire, for my own use."
"Now that you know, Qingling little sister, what will you think of me?"
"Of course, I'll just smile. Should I cry instead?" Chen Qingling tilted her head and squinted, teasing for once.
"Don't you want to expose my identity? After all, I am an impostor pretending to be Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."
Chen Qingling shook her head. "I don't know what you think of me, and I don't care whether the Crown Prince is an impostor. That's not important to me."
"Just as I said before, I don't want to get involved in royal struggles. That will never change."
Having witnessed her close friend Zhu Qing's royal conflicts, Chen Qingling's conviction grew even stronger.
The royal family is cold and emotionless.
Feelings are the greatest obstacle!
Without emotions, power struggles are naturally easier to win!
"This… very well then."
Qian Renxue had hoped her sincerity would win over Qingling little sister, but it still didn't work.
Perhaps Qingling little sister was used to a carefree, free-spirited life.
If that's the case, Qian Renxue wouldn't force it.
"You don't seem like a villain either," Qingling said, her gaze openly inspecting Qian Renxue.
Only women could look at women like this without misunderstandings.
Qian Renxue, in her early twenties, had skin whiter than snow, a straight nose, slightly delicate phoenix-shaped eyes, and a stunningly sharp beauty.
She wore a golden palace-style long dress. The dress was a single piece, seemingly woven from golden threads, simple and elegant without excessive patterns.
The golden standing collar protected her long, fair neck. Her long golden hair fell casually behind her, not carefully styled.
The contrast with Qian Renxue's formal palace attire was striking.
The most attention-grabbing feature was her well-formed chest.
Seeing this, Chen Qingling turned her head, pouting in frustration.
So annoying!
Why does everyone seem older than me!
Truly exasperating!
Perhaps noticing Qingling's gaze lingering on her, Qian Renxue's pretty face blushed slightly.
Even among the same gender, being stared at in private areas was a little embarrassing.
"Cough… cough… Qinghe…"
"Oh no, I should call you Sister Renxue?" Chen Qingling smirked and walked in front of Qian Renxue, placing her hand on her fragrant shoulder.
Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly. This was the first time she had been so close to someone else, even of the same gender.
After all, she had never experienced a mother's love in her life.
"Aiya, didn't expect Sister Renxue to be even more sensitive than I imagined~"
"Your face is red~"
Seeing Qian Renxue's blushing face, Chen Qingling couldn't help teasing.
Feeling the breath by her ear, Qian Renxue's ears flushed red.
"Qingling little sister… did… did you already know my true identity?"
"Nope," Chen Qingling smiled.
"I don't believe it! If you only just found out, you shouldn't act like this. You should be surprised!"
"But you're not," Qian Renxue said sharply, full of certainty.
"Am I right, Qingling little sister?"
Chen Qingling paused, realizing she had missed a detail!
She thought she could deceive everyone but had mishandled some details.
Yet judging by Qian Renxue's expression, she didn't seem to blame her.
Chen Qingling smiled playfully. "Does it really matter now? Right or wrong depends on personal perspective."
"So you asked me alone to Yuexuan just to discuss this?"
"No, of course not. I want to reintroduce myself to Qingling little sister as a woman."
After saying this, Qian Renxue extended her hand toward Qingling.
"Hee hee, reintroduce ourselves, Sister Renxue." Qingling also extended her hand, holding Qian Renxue's jade hand.
Soft and tender.
At this moment, a voice came from the shadows.
The Snake Spear Douluo transmitted a message to Qian Renxue: the master of Yuexuan was coming.
Immediately, Qian Renxue's eyes changed. "Qingling little sister, someone's coming. I must disguise myself back as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."
"Oh."
Qian Renxue then changed her appearance in front of Qingling, returning to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's form.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Prince Qinghe, Qingling little sister, may I come in?"
"Of course."
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Qingling's eyes lit up.
The owner of the voice should be Sister Yuehua!
Click.
Tang Yuehua pushed the door open, holding a dessert, placing it on the table.
"This is a gift for Prince Qinghe and Qingling little sister. Would you like to try it?"
"Yes."
"Thank you, Sister Yuehua."
Tang Yuehua's gentle gaze lingered on Chen Qingling. She pursed her red lips and spoke.
"Didn't expect that after such a long time, Qingling little sister, your soul power has increased significantly."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue realized belatedly that she couldn't sense Qingling's current soul power level!
Either it was concealed with special means, or her soul power was too high to detect.
Qingling's pupils contracted slightly at Tang Yuehua's words.
"Sister Yuehua, can you sense my soul power level?"
Tang Yuehua smiled slightly. "Of course…"
