Seeing Through Her Identity, Is Snow Not Snow Joins the Group Chat!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, have you been well lately?"

Chen Luo looked at Xue Qinghe, his tone calm.

At those words, the corner of Xue Qinghe's eye twitched slightly.

Well?

How could she possibly be well in her current state?

Then, Xue Qinghe placed the copy of Legend of the White Snake in her hand on the table, her voice carrying a faint, barely perceptible hint of complaint.

"Boss, you really recommended me a 'good' book."

"Ever since I left last time, I've been reading it day and night, unable to put it down."

At first, Qian Renxue had indeed been utterly engrossed.

Especially for a young girl like her, who had yet to experience love, the story of a human and a demon falling in love was exceptionally captivating.

But who could have expected...

That the ending would be so tragic.

This stab hurt no less than the part where Little Dragon Girl lost her virginity.

Damn it... This boss definitely did it on purpose.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Chen Luo took a small sip of tea, looking entirely at ease.

"As long as Your Highness likes it."

"I have plenty more books like that. If Your Highness is interested, I can pick out a few good ones for you before you leave."

Xue Qinghe's mouth twitched slightly at his words.

"Hehe... Then I truly must thank the boss for your kindness."

His complaint about the book today was merely an opening.

What truly mattered was sounding out this mysterious boss for information.

The continent had been turbulent lately. Chen Xin had been resurrected, and Tang Chen had returned...

Even his grandfather, Qian Daoliu, could not see through these major events.

But the boss before him was different.

Even Sword Master Chen Xun addressed him respectfully as senior.

Xue Qinghe casually took a book from the shelf and flipped through its pages as if without intent, his voice steady.

"I wonder whether the boss has heard... that Tang Chen has returned."

Chen Luo's expression did not change. He merely replied blandly.

"I've heard a little."

He raised his eyes to Xue Qinghe, his tone carrying a trace of understanding.

"What? Did Your Highness come here today specifically to ask me for information?"

Seeing that the other party had exposed her purpose, Xue Qinghe stopped beating around the bush and said seriously,

"That is correct."

"As the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, I must naturally keep watch over the continent's changing tides and make plans in advance... for any unforeseen developments that may arise in the future."

A faint, ambiguous smile appeared on Chen Luo's lips.

"Your Highness certainly knows how to prepare for a rainy day."

He paused slightly. His voice remained mild, yet it carried an inscrutable undertone.

"However... even if I know something, why should I tell you?"

"And what can you offer me?"

"This..."

Xue Qinghe was left speechless for a moment.

She truly had no answer.

For someone like this boss, hidden among the common folk and respected even by Chen Xun, fame and profit had long ceased to matter.

What exactly was he after?

Perhaps no one in this world could truly guess.

As Xue Qinghe pondered intently, Chen Luo suddenly spoke.

"Tang Chen and Chen Xin were both brought back to the human world by the Lord of the God Realm."

"The... Lord of the God Realm?"

Xue Qinghe froze, profound confusion rising in her eyes.

"Who is that?"

"You need not know too much about Him."

Chen Luo's tone was indifferent.

"You need only understand that He is a true God. He can resurrect the dead at will, transform seas into mulberry fields with a single thought, and traverse Myriad Universes."

He raised his eyes toward Xue Qinghe, his voice calm.

"The gods you regard as unreachable are no more than ants before the Lord of the God Realm."

As his words fell, stormy waves erupted in Xue Qinghe's heart!

There was... such an existence in this world?

No—

If that were truly the case, then everything made sense.

Chen Xun returning from the dead, Tang Chen's sudden reappearance...

And that phenomenon that had streaked across the sky that day!

Could that white-clad figure... have been the Lord of the God Realm?

At this moment, the doubts in Qian Renxue's heart grew ever thicker.

Why had the Lord of the God Realm resurrected Chen Xin?

And what was His true purpose?

With Chen Xin and Tang Chen appearing one after another, the Soul Hunting Plan that Spirit Hall had plotted for years had been forced into suspension.

And she—

She had devoted her entire youth to that plan, more than a decade of lurking and waiting...

Now that this sudden change had occurred, how much longer would she have to hide within this Heaven Dou Imperial Palace?

Ten years? Twenty years?

A suffocating sense of heaviness nearly drowned her.

"Boss, why are you telling me this?"

Xue Qinghe suddenly looked up, her eyes full of confusion.

"Hehe, just take it as a whim of mine."

Chen Luo waved a hand casually, speaking as though it were nothing.

—How could that be possible?

If there were no audience for the grand show in the Star Dou Great Forest a month from now, where would his Shock Value come from?

He lifted his eyes, meeting Xue Qinghe's gaze.

Those profound eyes seemed capable of seeing straight through one's heart.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you have the courage... to glimpse the truth of this world?"

"The courage... to glimpse the world?"

Xue Qinghe looked dazed, and her breathing involuntarily quickened.

Chen Luo took an ancient mirror from his robes and held it out before her.

"This is the truth of the world."

"Whether you uncover it is entirely up to you."

The instant Xue Qinghe took the mirror, her gaze fell upon its surface.

Upon the crystal-clear mirror, a face was reflected.

Purple eyes like water, golden hair cascading like a waterfall...

She suddenly realized something and jerked her head up!

But where was the boss's figure now?

There was only an empty chair,

And a bowl of hot noodles, steam curling upward.

As though no one had ever been there.

"So the boss... had already seen through my disguise..."

Xue Qinghe looked at her true self in the mirror, an unusual gleam flashing deep in her eyes.

"The courage to glimpse the truth..."

"But what I, Qian Renxue, have never lacked is the courage to start over."

At this moment, she had already shed her disguise. Her golden hair cascaded down to her waist.

Determination filled her exquisite face.

That night.

God Realm Preliminary Group.

[Is Snow Not Snow has joined the group chat. Come welcome our new companion!]

Not Just Targeting the Poison God: Oh? A newcomer? Welcome, welcome! (confetti) (confetti)

Apprentice Yearning for the Way of the Sword: Judging by the name, she seems to be a female fellow cultivator? A pleasure to meet you!

Never Stop Here: Welcome to the group, newcomer! (cupped fist)

The group chat notification displayed gender markers.

Clearly, "Is Snow Not Snow" was a female soul master.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the Crown Prince's bedchamber.

After bathing, Qian Renxue lay languidly on the soft bed.

Holding the Myriad Laws Mirror, she watched the words continuously appearing on its screen, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"How marvelous... Could the people in this mirror all come from different parts of the continent?"

As she was pondering this, a message popped into view.

Apprentice Yearning for the Way of the Sword: @Is Snow Not Snow. As you have only just arrived, you are likely unfamiliar with the group rules and how to use the Myriad Laws Mirror. The group announcement contains the relevant rules and feature guides. You may read it first. (cupped fist)

When Qian Renxue saw the message from Chen Xun, she was first stunned, then began typing on the screen.

Is Snow Not Snow: Okay, thank you!

Immediately afterward,

Qian Renxue found the group announcement section and began reading the information there.

"So that's how it is. This was created by that Lord of the God Realm."

"A world where everyone cultivates and improves together..."
