Chapter 24: Xue Qinghe... Qian Renxue
As the sky gradually darkened, Xue Qinghe finished his government affairs for the day and returned to his bedroom surrounded by his guards.
At that time, she was only sixteen years old (according to the original work, she should be about nine years younger than Tang San). Although she was young, as a prince, she had a lot to learn and a lot of responsibilities to bear.
The real Xue Qinghe died of illness when she was ten years old. During these six years, she has completely adapted to the identity of Xue Qinghe.
"All of you go down! I want some quiet time alone..."
After entering the bedroom, Xue Qinghe said to the people following her that it was very tiring to completely disguise herself as another person, and she needed time to relax.
But she didn't expect that after everyone left, the aura of a soul master would suddenly appear in her bedroom.
Qin Zhuo wanted to go out and say hello to her, but just as he was about to open his mouth, a shoe sole kicked towards his face at a very fast speed, and it was surrounded by soul power.
In order to avoid making a big noise, Qin Zhuo did not dodge, but crossed his hands to block. After all, there were some wooden structures behind him, and the kick would make some noise.
In the prince's bedroom, no matter how strict the martial law is in Tiandou, no one will watch the prince's every move, but if there is any other movement, it is hard to say.
He caught the powerful kick, grabbed the ankle, and tried to push it down with force.
But Qian Renxue is now a Soul King! (In the original novel, she was a Soul Sage during the palace coup, so it is inferred)
Although he was surprised that the child in front of him caught his kick, his movements were not slow at all. Using Qin Zhuo's hand as a support point, his other foot had already jumped into the air and kicked towards his chest.
Well! I followed the old man to see his granddaughter, and he wanted to beat me up as soon as we met, but the old man was still watching...
Qin Zhuo was not someone who liked to suffer a loss, so he immediately released his grip on the ankle, lowered his head, and leaned against Tieshan!
Because of the height difference, Qin Zhuo's collision just reached Qian Renxue's waist. In terms of physical strength alone, Qin Zhuo was not weaker than the average Soul King, and this collision also knocked Qian Renxue back several steps.
"Who are you?"
Qian Renxue steadied herself, stared at Qin Zhuo and asked, but she was horrified in her heart.
Although he was not possessed by a martial spirit, his previous actions were all accompanied by soul power. He did not expect that this child in front of him, who looked only six or seven years old, could not only receive his attack, but even fight back.
"Keep your voice down... tsk! Tiger girl..."
Qin Zhuo was reminding Qian Renxue not to speak too loudly, but the same situation happened again. Taking advantage of his distraction, Qian Renxue attacked again.
Perhaps in order to hide, although her attack was accompanied by soul power, she did not use her martial soul. I think she did not want to make a big deal out of it, otherwise she would have shouted a warning long ago.
Given the height difference between the two, for Qin Zhuo, Qian Renxue's attacks all came from above, and it was quite difficult to deal with them.
Fortunately, his physical skills were very good, so he was not at a disadvantage. He even had a slight advantage in terms of strength. However, it was not so easy to repel Qian Renxue.
At the same time, Qian Renxue also realized that Qin Zhuo had no hostility. They had been fighting for a while. Although the opponent's attack was powerful, he did not have much desire to attack. He was more concerned about responding to her offensive and then looking for opportunities to repel her.
Crack! This is clearly bullying me because I haven't grown taller!
After fighting for a while, Qin Zhuo felt that Qian Renxue had restrained herself a lot, but she still used her height advantage to oppress him with attacks, as if she was teasing him.
This reminded Qin Zhuo of his bad childhood memories before he traveled through time. The older kids at that time used their longer arms to hold down his head, so that no matter how hard he struggled with his shorter arms, he couldn't touch the older kids at all.
That feeling is exactly the same as what Qin Zhuo feels now!
Tsk! The old man is still watching the show, right? Then I'm going to be a jerk!
Qian Daoliu has remained silent until now, and Qin Zhuo no longer cares about that. He concentrates highly on finding flaws in Qian Renxue's movements.
He chose to use his body to withstand her punch, used his legs to exert force, jumped up and slapped her in the chest...
Faced with Qin Zhuo's sudden outburst, Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment. When she reacted, Qin Zhuo's little hand had already slapped her chest, and she couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
"Xiaoxue!"
Qian Daoliu finally couldn't sit still anymore and appeared between the two of them. Qin Zhuo's strength was not comparable to that of an ordinary person. A full-strength blow to his chest was not painful.
"grandfather!"
Hearing the voice, Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then she happily called Qian Daoliu and ran into the old man's arms.
Before Qin Zhuo could react to the soft feeling in his palm, he saw two men hugging each other. The slight discomfort in his heart suddenly turned into speechlessness.
"Grandpa, you...you came to Tiandou at this time? No! Why did you come to see me at this time? If someone finds out..."
Although he knew that with his grandfather's strength, almost no one in Tiandou City would be able to discover him if he didn't want to, it was still a risky move after all!
It was also because of this that even though she missed the old man very much here, she did not reveal it in the letter, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong.
"Don't worry, no one will find out. I know what you mean. I didn't come to see you on purpose this time. I was taking Xiao Zhuo to Sunset Forest to get spirit rings. When I passed by Tiandou City, I wanted to come and see you."
Qian Daoliu touched Qian Renxue's head with a doting look on his face. This child had endured too much since she was a child: the expectations of the angel family, the departure of her father, the disgust of her mother... So much that Qian Daoliu didn't know what attitude to use to treat her. He could only stay by her side as a support.
"Is he Xiao Zhuo? What's his ring level?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue... Xue Qinghe raised his head and looked at Qin Zhuo who was rolling his eyes, and asked involuntarily.
"Qin Zhuo, Level 32 Soul Master, um... Sister Xue's way of greeting is really unique!"
Without waiting for Qian Daoliu to speak, Qin Zhuo stood up and introduced himself, deliberately emphasizing the word "sister".
"I'm sorry, there's a strange smell in the bedroom. I..."
Having said that, the two of them simultaneously turned their sights to Qian Daoliu. Hiding the aura was the job of this old man. Although Qin Zhuo's domain could also conceal the aura, who would drive around with their domain open all the time for no reason?
So, this old man did it on purpose!
"Ahem... No fight, no friendship! I was just trying to make your first meeting memorable, but who could have imagined you two would react so strongly? By the way, Xiaoxue, are you okay? Xiaozhuo is quite strong!"
Qian Daoliu changed the subject, but his question made Qian Renxue feel embarrassed.
Although her camouflage ability is amazing, it does not completely change her body shape. Qin Zhuo did not use much strength in that palm strike, but only hit a special part of her body, which caused her reaction to be so big.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I didn't use too much force..."
Qin Zhuo started to speak, but his voice gradually became softer. He shrank his head in disappointment and found a place to stay.
