"What?!"
Qian Daoliu cried out in astonishment, completely losing his previous calm composure.
He looked at Snake Lance Douluo and asked in disbelief:
"You just said that Xiao Xue has someone she likes?"
"Yes, Great Enshrined." Snake Lance Douluo nodded firmly.
"Young Miss has been acting very strangely lately."
"Pufferfish and I discussed it, and we concluded that Young Miss has most likely fallen for someone."
"Since this concerns Young Miss, we hurried here to report it to you, Great Enshrined."
Qian Daoliu's expression turned complicated at those words.
He had considered many possibilities, but he had never imagined this one.
Qian Renxue having someone she liked was something Qian Daoliu had never considered.
After all, he knew that child's personality better than anyone.
She was far too proud.
Even prouder than he had been in his youth.
Unless someone could earn Qian Renxue's acknowledgment in every respect, it would be almost impossible for her to fall for them.
At the same time, another possibility occurred to Qian Daoliu.
His expression darkened, gloomy as storm clouds before a downpour.
"Who does Xiao Xue like?"
Qian Daoliu realized something.
Qian Renxue had always been posing as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe in the Heaven Dou Empire.
That was a male identity.
Could it be that Xiao Xue had played the role for so long that her mindset had changed as well?
Could the person she liked be a girl?
At the thought of that possibility, Qian Daoliu felt as if his heart had suffered a heavy blow.
At present, Qian Renxue was the only one with the Angel lineage's pure bloodline.
If that girl's sexual orientation had gone awry, the inheritance of the entire Angel family might end right here.
Surely they could not expect this old man to suddenly find love
