Heaven Dou Palace!
"What's my little brother been up to lately?"
Qian Renxue, having returned to her true form, sat dazed at her dressing table. The mirror reflected her elegant and aloof figure, noble and majestic. Her skin was whiter than snow, her nose was straight, her eyes were slightly slender, and her face held a striking, yet commanding presence.
She bore a passing resemblance to Bibi Dong, though her figure was slightly less impressive (compared to Bibi Dong's), yet among her peers, her figure was impressive enough to stand out.
Yu Tianming had always believed Qian Renxue to be mentally ill. No, to be more precise, mentally retarded.
Qian Renxue's talent is second only to Yu Tianming. With a level 20 innate spirit power and a divine-level spirit, her talent far surpasses Tang San's. This doesn't necessarily mean having twin spirits is inherently powerful.
Yu Xiaogang's famous quote holds some truth, though he's a complete loser.
For example, compare level 99 Tang Chen and level 99 Tang San. In a life-or-death battle, without cheating, Tang San is 100% certain to be the one who dies.
Tang San wouldn't even be considered a great figure in the world of martial arts.
In the original novel, Qian Renxue clearly has the opportunity to kill Tang San, but she chooses not to. She wants to conquer him—the only man besides her grandfather whom Qian Renxue doesn't dislike.
Two words: abstract!
What is Tang San's identity?
Someone who had a vengeance for the murder of her father, a mortal enemy of the Spirit Hall, a mortal enemy, a mortal enemy, a mortal enemy, possessing twin spirits and a descendant of the Gods, yet she chose not to kill him when she had the chance. Qian Renxue bears primary responsibility for the Spirit Hall's destruction.
The second idiot is Bibi Dong, but Bibi Dong is far superior to Qian Renxue. At least with her strength, the Spirit Hall was nearly able to unify the continent, and a new era was almost upon us. Too bad there was a cheater.
Qian Xunji is trash, to be sure, but from his perspective, it seems he had no choice but to become a beast.
After all, Bibi Dong was about to elope with Yu Xiaogang. Just imagine, a prized disciple, someone she had painstakingly raised for over a decade, the future heir of the Spirit Hall, suddenly abandoning her teacher and the family she had lived in for over a decade for a lover. Who could bear that?
Every cause has its consequences. If Bibi Dong had any sense, she wouldn't have brought Qian Renxue into this situation.
Look at what Yu Xiaogang did later: accepting Tang San as her disciple. Didn't he know Tang San's identity? He knew that, as the son of Clear Sky Douluo, he held a deep-seated feud with the Spirit Hall, but so what? He had to prove himself, even if his disciple Tang San later turned Bibi Dong against him.
And Bibi Dong was even more despicable. Everything she had was ruined by Yu Xiaogang, and even before her death, she still loved Yu Xiaogang. Truly a fool of the mind.
Alas, this world is sick. It truly needs Yu Ah Man to save it, and the aunts and sisters of this world.
"This..."
The muscular man in golden armor beside him was at a loss for words.
"Ahem, Young Master Yu is at Yuexuan lately."
The shrewd Porpoise Douluo, his face etched with rage, whispered.
Crack...
Yuexuan...
The comb in Qian Renxue's hand snapped in two.
"Miss, Young Master Yu doesn't know your identity. If he had seen your face, how could he have looked down on those vulgar women?"
You can't judge a person by appearance. The ferocious Thorny Porpoise Douluo was smooth and eloquent. He knew that with the young lady's feelings for Yu Tianming, he would most likely become son-in-law in the future.
That boy had already reached the Soul King stage at the age of twelve, and his talent surpassed hers. He was a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, making them a perfect match in terms of status. A combination of the two might even bring the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan into the Spirit Hall's ranks.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
However, that boy seems to have a bad habit. Last time he teased her, he was slapped.
Alas, young people these days.
"Heh, I don't think so."
Qian Renxue said this, but she felt elated in her heart.
"Miss, I've noticed someone in the palace has become wary of you lately. I've given Xue Xing the authority to summon half of the Imperial Guard."
The Thorny Porpoise Douluo constantly monitors Emperor Xue Ye. The imperial family's Titled Douluo's days are numbered. Once he dies, Qian Renxue can strike and seize imperial power.
Aside from the half-dead Titled Douluo, the remaining Poison Douluo is no concern.
Dugu Bo's feud with the Spirit Hall isn't big, but it's not small either. Dugu Yan was Yu Tianming's child bride, and Tianming is Dugu Bo's grandson-in-law. So, they're all family. There's no point in fighting.
The old poisonous creature can't possibly help an outsider beat up his son-in-law's woman, right?
"Well, there are fewer government affairs being sent to me. He doesn't want me to have access to military power. The old man is worried about me."
Qian Renxue's biggest flaw is that she's too perfect. She's diligent in her work, loves the people, isn't interested in women, and is respectful to the wise and humble. She acts too perfectly.
No one knows a son better than his father. After years of living together, it's impossible for Xue Ye not to be suspicious.
"Go ahead. Since he doesn't want to live, let him have his way."
Qian Renxue prepared a slow-acting poison for Xue Ye. Regular use will cause the victim to become sluggish, weak, and lethargic. The toxin will slowly invade the internal organs, and after a more severe death, no one can trace it.
"Will my little brother really like me?"
She changed into her normal clothes and disguised herself as Xue Qinghe. She hated this face so much now. Years of planning had made her afraid to make even the slightest mistake in front of outsiders, not even to Yu Tianming, whom she loved.
