Ye Feng Wanted to Force Qian Renxue to Reveal Herself
Ye Feng looked the man up and down, stepped forward, and replied, "I am Ye Feng."
The man looked Ye Feng up and down and smiled, "Indeed, you are a handsome man. Ye Feng, hello, I am Xue Qinghe, a disciple of my teacher."
"Xue Qinghe!"
"Xue Qinghe!"
"His surname is Xue. Could he be the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Flender, and others discussed among themselves, speculating about Xue Qinghe's identity.
Ning Rongrong stepped forward and explained with a smile, "That's right, he is His Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. He is also my Master."
"Master?"
Xiao Wu noticed Ning Rongrong's way of addressing Xue Qinghe. Ning Rongrong addressed Xue Qinghe as Master. She muttered to herself, "Rong Rong, you call him Master, but you also call Ye Feng Senior Brother?"
Ning Rongrong walked to Xiao Wu's side, looked affectionately at Xiao Wu's arm, and explained, "His Crown Prince is my father's direct disciple, so naturally he is my Master. I also call Ye Feng senior brother, or more accurately, I should call him second senior brother."
"Second Senior Brother!" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, his expression strange.
Hearing the words "Second Senior Brother" made Ye Feng Ye Feng feel a little strange.
(PS: Zhu Bajie: Your Martial Soul isn't Nine-Toothed Rake, Ye Feng, what are you even thinking?)
Ning Rongrong nodded heavily, accepting the explanation in detail. "Dad took His Crown Prince as his disciple even earlier than Sword Grandpa took you. His Crown Prince is naturally the Master, and you are naturally the second senior brother."
Second Brother!
Ye Feng still felt a little strange hearing Ning Rongrong address him.
"Greetings, Your Crown Prince!"
Flender and Yu Xiaogang bowed respectfully to Xue Qinghe.
"No need for formalities, everyone. Unless it's a grand occasion, you are all my elders, so just call me Qinghe. As for the others, I'm a few years older than you, so just call me Brother Xue," Xue Qinghe said with a smile.
Xue Qinghe was very talkative, and his demeanor exuded composure and magnanimity. Although he was quite shrewd, he was very pleasant to be around. He had none of the airs of a prince, and his approachable nature made him easy to accept. His magnanimity was so apparent that even Tang San failed to notice anything amiss.
Of everyone present, only Ye Feng probably knew Xue Qinghe's true identity.
Xue Qinghe had only two purposes for today's trip. One of them was to meet Ye Feng, the disciple of Sword Saint Chen Xin. Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Ye Feng, may I call you junior brother from now on?"
Ye Feng didn't respond to Xue Qinghe immediately because he knew that Xue Qinghe wasn't actually Xue Qinghe, but rather Qian Renxue, the young lady of the Spirit Hall. Ye Feng hadn't yet decided what path to take in the future. Therefore, he wasn't sure whether to develop a close relationship with Xue Qinghe.
"Is there something wrong?" Xue Qinghe asked Ye Feng with a hint of disappointment.
Xue Qinghe waited for a few seconds, but Ye Feng did not respond.
Ye Feng looked at his master, Chen Xin, then at Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and finally his gaze settled on Xue Qinghe. Ning Fengzhi probably didn't know that his disciple was Qian Renxue in disguise. All along, Ning Fengzhi had been kept in the dark by Xue Qinghe. Thinking of this, Ye Feng intentionally wanted to tease Xue Qinghe. He walked to Xue Qinghe's side, reached out, gently placed his hand on Xue Qinghe's shoulder, and smiled, "Of course. You are Uncle Ning's direct disciple, and I am my master's disciple. Uncle Ning and my master both belong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. According to seniority, I should call you Senior Brother."
"Alright, from now on I'll call you junior brother." Xue Qinghe was overjoyed. He had recruited a highly promising genius today, which would further solidify his position in the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Um."
Ye Feng nodded. He walked up to Xue Qinghe Xue Qinghe, intending to tease him. He looked Xue Qinghe up and down, then reached out and pinched Xue Qinghe's arm, praising, "Not bad, very sturdy. Nice muscles in your arms. Even... well, even yours..."
your?
What's yours?
When Ye Feng uttered those two words, Xue Qinghe's eyes widened instinctively. A look of shock flashed across Xue Qinghe's face.
Xue Qinghe is not Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue, the young lady of the Spirit Hall. In other words, the person standing in front of Ye Feng, being tested by Ye Feng, is a woman.
Xue Qinghe's first instinct was to retreat and avoid Ye Feng's clutches.
Ye Feng sensed the movement of the air and knew Xue Qinghe Xue Qinghe to retreat. He wasn't about to let her have her way. His outstretched claws suddenly accelerated. Before Xue Qinghe could react, Ye Feng's two claws had already struck Qian Renxue.
"Hmm, not bad. Your muscles are quite powerful. It seems you've been training a lot, Senior Brother." Ye Feng, having gotten the better of Xue Qinghe, didn't forget to praise him, leaving Xue Qinghe speechless. "Senior Brother, as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, you are still so diligent in your cultivation. You are truly a role model for us all."
Xue Qinghe looked down at Ye Feng's two mischievous hands, stomped her foot forcefully, and took three steps back, breaking free from Ye Feng's clutches. She raised her head, glaring angrily at Ye Feng. She felt an urge to summon her Martial Soul and teach Ye Feng a lesson.
Ye Feng, in front of everyone, actually attacked Xue Qinghe, or rather, attacked Qian Renxue.
This is tolerable!
However, Xue Qinghe retained a shred of rationality and did not impulsively use his Martial Soul. His face flushed red, and he tried his best to calm his turbulent emotions. He responded magnanimously to Ye Feng's words, "With great power comes great responsibility. To others, being His Highness Heavenly Son Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire is an unparalleled honor. To me, it is an immense pressure. This identity constantly reminds me that I must protect the people of the Heaven Dou Empire Heaven Dou Empire and ensure its peace and prosperity."
Everyone present praised Xue Qinghe's words. Only Ye Feng was an exception.
Ye Feng secretly realized he had underestimated Qian Renxue. He had even groped her chest, yet Qian Renxue remained calm and composed. No wonder she was a spy who had been able to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Empire for so long.
At the same time, Ye Feng discovered a secret. Qian Renxue's soul bone's disguise ability could even disguise the feel of a person's body. Ye Feng had just groped Qian Renxue's chest because he wanted to expose her or entice her to impulsively reveal her true form. However, Ye Feng discovered that the feel of her chest told him that it was a man's chest.
Ye Feng's gaze shifted to Ning Fengzhi with pity. He thought to himself: No wonder Ning Fengzhi was deceived for so long without realizing it; the Angel Soul Bone's ability to disguise itself is terrifyingly powerful. It can even fake the feel of things!
