Ye Lingling's Response! Qian Renxue's Instant Change of Face!

The three of them exchanged silent looks, their eyes constantly flickering. Clearly, none of them was at peace.

After a moment, Ye Lingling seemed to think of something, and a glint flashed through her beautiful eyes.

Su Ye had mentioned something about Angels in the Diary before, but Xue Qinghe's identity was too deeply ingrained in people's minds, so she had never considered that possibility.

Now that she thought about it, it might have been hindsight, but everything made sense.

Su Ye had laid it all out in the Diary from the very beginning, saying that Little Angel had sought him out and recruited him, after which the two of them came to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

It had been so obvious, yet she hadn't realized it before. She really shouldn't have missed it.

Still, she couldn't be blamed.

After all, who could have imagined that the dignified Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, the future ruler of a nation, was actually from Spirit Hall?

Across from them, Qian Renxue had calmed down by now as well.

She had long known that many people possessed Diaries. It was also plain for all to see.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were no ordinary people. In the original story, they should have had significant roles, so it was perfectly normal for them to possess Diaries.

She silently thought, Yes, then looked at the two women again. Her expression eased slightly as she invited, "Shall we talk?"

The contents of the Diary couldn't be revealed to outsiders, so she wasn't worried that the two women would expose her identity.

Besides, because of Su Ye, she had no intention of killing them at the moment.

But testing them was still necessary.

Especially considering what they had been discussing just now. She very much wanted to know what that was about.

How long had that guy Su Ye even known this woman? And they were already talking about marriage?

And that old fool Dugu Bo—what was he doing, trying to play matchmaker? Was he courting death?

Seeing the friend request appear before them, the two women exchanged a glance and silently thought, Yes, as well.

After a brief exchange of looks, they nodded at this "Crown Prince" and agreed.

"Then let's talk." Dugu Yan raised her chin slightly, completely unfazed.

Seriously, who was afraid of who?

Of course, despite her fearless words, both women were more cautious in their actions.

Rather than going outside, they brought her to their residence within the academy.

After all, she was from Spirit Hall and had secretly laid out such an elaborate scheme. They had discovered her secret—who knew whether she might do something?

It was better to be careful.

Dugu Bo was currently in the academy, and that was the two women's greatest source of confidence.

Before long, the three arrived at Dugu Yan's residence.

Once seated, Qian Renxue put on the air of the rightful wife. Her gaze was sharp as a sword as she stared at Dugu Yan and asked directly, "What is your relationship with Su Ye? And where is he now?"

She didn't care at all what the two women thought after learning her identity. Instead, she was deeply concerned about their earlier conversation.

Heaven knew what she had felt when she heard that Dugu Bo intended to arrange a marriage between the two of them.

It was as though someone had taken away a treasure she dearly loved, leaving her hollow inside while an indescribable emotion lingered in her heart.

She had never experienced such feelings before, so much so that she lost her composure on the spot.

Dugu Yan frowned slightly. What was with that interrogative tone right from the start?

Seriously, who did she think she was talking to?

She was about to snap back, but her best friend stopped her before she could speak.

Ye Lingling shook her head slightly at her, then looked at this "Crown Prince" and said calmly, "It was merely Grandpa Dugu's joke."

"Your Excellency should know that Su Ye met Yan Yan after he met you. What kind of relationship could they possibly have?"

"As for where he is now?"

"We only know that he is in Grandpa Dugu's Herb Garden, preparing pills to detoxify poison. As for the exact location, we don't know either."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression completely softened.

That made sense. How long had they known each other? Things couldn't progress that fast.

She had let her emotions get the better of her and overthought things.

Once her rationality returned, her gaze toward the two women became far gentler, as though the Crown Prince who treated others like a spring breeze had returned.

"I was somewhat discourteous just now. I hope you two younger sisters won't take offense."

Now that she had confirmed they weren't in that sort of relationship, and that the two women had decent talent and Diaries of their own, she naturally wouldn't keep giving them the cold shoulder.

Her desire to recruit and subdue them immediately began to stir.

Faced with this astonishing change of face, Ye Lingling nodded slightly and offered a polite response.

Dugu Yan merely snorted coldly, clearly not buying it.

Qian Renxue didn't mind. If it weren't for the existence of the Diary, someone like Dugu Yan wasn't even worth a second glance from her.

On the contrary, Ye Lingling kept drawing her attention. This woman looked aloof and introverted, like an inconspicuous little nobody.

But her mind was keen, and she was far from simple.

Moreover, her Nine-Heart Begonia martial soul wasn't bad either. All things considered, she was a talent worth having.

Thus, a strange scene unfolded next.

Dugu Yan, who normally handled diplomacy between the two of them, became mute, while Ye Lingling appeared to be having a thoroughly pleasant conversation with Qian Renxue.

The two talked about many things, but overall, Qian Renxue was constantly probing and trying to recruit her, both openly and subtly.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingling quietly evaded and refused her advances.

In the end!

Seeing that it was getting late, and knowing that no progress would be made anytime soon, Qian Renxue rose to take her leave.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.

"You are both intelligent women. The Heaven Dou Imperial Family has no deep ties with you. Don't do anything you may come to regret."

With that, she left directly without waiting for their response.

"She really is full of herself."

Dugu Yan snorted in dissatisfaction. This was the first time in her life that anyone had dared threaten her.

Ye Lingling shook her head slightly. "An Angel... This person's status in Spirit Hall is probably even higher than we imagined. In any case, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has nothing to do with us. There's no need to stir up trouble over this."

Hearing that, Dugu Yan nodded slightly, signaling for her best friend not to worry.

She was merely unhappy, not incapable of recognizing the situation.

Although the Six-Winged Angel martial soul and the surname Qian had already vanished from the continent,

with their backgrounds, how could they not know of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul? And how could they not know that the previous Popes had all been members of the Qian Clan?

Fathers like Ning Fengzhi, who hadn't even explained the Hell White Tiger to his own daughter, were truly rare.

She was called Little Angel by Su Ye and was also a member of Spirit Hall. With a little thought, it was easy to guess roughly who she was.

"Grandpa only owed Prince Xue Xing a favor back then. Once that favor is repaid, that will be the end of it. As for anything more, given Grandpa's temperament, I believe he won't take the initiative to get involved."

As Dugu Yan said this, Ye Lingling nodded slightly.

The two women then put the matter aside and stopped discussing it.

These struggles between major powers, especially matters concerning changes to the future landscape, were not something they could participate in.

Qian Renxue was especially talkative. Their conversation dragged on until evening, so the two women went to the academy cafeteria for a simple meal before returning to their residence to wait for the Diary to update.

Today's Diary entry was explosive. The two women could hardly wait to dig into the drama.
