"Little handsome, you really have a good eye."
"This Golden Rose is a rare variety; it only costs nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Gold Soul Coins!"
A mature woman with a charming air walked over to introduce it.
She looked Qin Xuan up and down, and seeing his luxurious attire and extraordinary temperament, her attitude became exceptionally respectful.
"I'll take these roses." Qin Xuan didn't waste any words; after tossing the Gold Soul Coins to the proprietress, he stored the Golden Rose into his ring.
"Th-thank you for your patronage!" The proprietress seemed to have not seen such a generous customer in a long time, and she was so excited that she began to stutter.
Walking out of the flower shop, Qin Xuan recalled his days as a vagrant and couldn't help but sigh, "It feels so good to have money!"
At this point, he didn't know whether he should hate the Star Luo Emperor or thank him.
If not for the Star Luo Emperor giving birth to him without raising him, leaving him with monstrous negative emotions, the God of Evil might not have chosen him.
Thinking this, Qin Xuan sneered and walked into a high-end teahouse.
She Long had been protecting Qian Renxue's safety from the shadows in Tiandou City for a long time.
Back when he was purchasing supplies, Qin Xuan had already sent someone to contact She Long.
Upon learning that Qin Xuan wanted to see Qian Renxue, She Long was quite pleased.
The two agreed to meet secretly in a private room at the teahouse.
Qin Xuan pushed open the door to the private room and immediately saw the woman with golden hair draped over her shoulders, a tall figure, and skin as fair as snow.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the window, illuminating Qian Renxue's stunning face, making her look like an angel fallen into the mortal world—noble, pure, and untouchable.
"Young Master." Qin Xuan greeted her first.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue turned around, a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips: "Just call me Sister Xue'er in private."
"Little Xuan, I thought you had latched onto Bibi Dong's thigh and forgotten about me."
"How could that be..." As Qin Xuan spoke, he released ninety-nine Golden Roses from his ring.
"Sister Xue'er, this is a gift I bought for you."
"So fragrant... Is this for me?" Qian Renxue sniffed them lightly, and a trace of imperceptible redness flashed across her pretty face; she was somewhat surprised.
To her, the Golden Rose was nothing rare.
But because it was a gift from Qin Xuan, the meaning was entirely different.
"Sister Xue'er, do you like it?" Qin Xuan asked with a smile.
Qian Renxue coughed dryly, putting on a cold and aloof expression: "It's alright, I suppose. The Golden Rose is indeed rare, but in my eyes, it's no different from the wildflowers on the street."
"Even the rarer Seven-Colored Rose, I have dozens of them in my bedchamber."
Though she spoke with feigned indifference, she quietly stored the Golden Roses into her storage device.
Once finished, the two sat down at the tea table and began to chat.
"Sister Xue'er, I just finished hunting two soul beasts and happened to pass through Tiandou City, so I specifically came to see you."
"Teacher has already told me about your plan to infiltrate the Imperial Palace."
"Sister Xue'er, not only do you have to endure loneliness, but you also have to deliberately suppress your cultivation and delay your advancement speed. It truly isn't easy!"
"Sigh..." Qian Renxue sighed softly, drained her teacup in one gulp, and lamented: "As long as the plan succeeds, what do these minor sacrifices matter!"
After she finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into silence.
Both of them had flickering gazes, as if they were both deep in thought.
Qin Xuan believed that Qian Daoliu's decision to have his granddaughter infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace was the most foolish move of all!
With Qian Renxue's aptitude, if she had remained in the Consecration Hall to cultivate with focus, she would likely have surpassed Tang San by several years and inherited the Angel God long ago!
To have the power to sweep across the world, yet insist on having Qian Renxue infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace—it was truly a case of playing a great hand of cards into a complete mess...
At this moment, Qian Renxue diverted the topic and spoke first:
"Little Xuan, tell me about your experiences over the past few days."
Qin Xuan gave a soft 'hmm' and began to recount, without haste, the details of becoming Bibi Dong's disciple and the matter of obtaining his soul rings.
After listening, Qian Renxue stood up abruptly, her face full of shock:
"Your first and second soul rings are both of the thousand-year level!"
Qin Xuan smiled and stood up as well, and two purple soul rings rose from beneath his feet in succession.
At this moment, the impact of these two purple soul rings was no less than that of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.
It took a long while for Qian Renxue to recover from her shock, and a rare smile appeared on her cold face:
"Little Xuan, you can no longer be described as a genius; you are simply a monster among monsters!"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan retracted his soul rings, his tone shifting as he spoke with deep meaning:
"The world is fickle, and all things are subject to change."
"My life was not meant to end; first I met Sister Xue'er, and then I awakened the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger. I am truly fortunate."
"No matter what happens, Sister Xue'er, you must remember that you have me, your good younger brother, at your back. Do not bear the pressure all by yourself."
"If the plan to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace succeeds, that is for the best, but if it fails, there is no need for you to dwell on it. Do not let it manifest into a heart demon."
"After all, with your natural talent, you will break through to Title Douluo sooner or later and will still be able to achieve great things."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue looked at Qin Xuan with deep meaning:
"Xiao Xuan, are you really only six years old?"
"How is it that you are lecturing me?"
"Wait until you reach the Title Douluo realm before you come to help me shoulder the burden."
"Sister Xue'er, please do not be angry. I merely wandered the world in my early years and gained some insights," Qin Xuan replied calmly.
At this moment, a blinding golden light erupted from Qian Renxue's entire body.
When the light faded, Qian Renxue had transformed into the appearance of Xue Qinghe, and even her voice had shifted from a gentle, cold, mature tone to a deep, magnetic male voice.
"Xiao Xuan, I understand what you mean, but I have dedicated my youth to this plan; how could I give up so easily?"
"The plan for the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace must succeed; it cannot fail!"
"In nine years at the latest, that will be the day I usurp the Heaven Dou Empire!"
"I must return now. If I am gone for too long, it will arouse the suspicions of Emperor Xue Ye."
She pushed open the door to the private room.
Before leaving, Qian Renxue turned her head and said something profound:
"It has been a long time since anyone gave me flowers. The Golden Rose is very fragrant."
"Xiao Xuan, thank you!"
Watching her retreating figure, Qin Xuan felt a surge of emotion:
"Qian Renxue's obsession is truly deep."
"To think she wants to take the Heaven Dou Empire without shedding blood—a fine plan indeed, but unfortunately, the world is unpredictable. How could things go exactly as she wishes?"
Putting his thoughts aside, Qin Xuan also walked out of the teahouse.
He then boarded a carriage and headed toward Spirit City.
Tiandou City was not too far from Fasinuo Province.
He had originally intended to go to Nuoding City to cause trouble for Tang San, but that thought flashed through his mind and vanished just as quickly.
With Qin Xuan's current strength, even with Tang San's Mysterious Jade Hand, hidden weapons, and Tang Sect Movement Technique, he could easily kill him.
However, he dared not gamble on whether that unstable factor, Tang Hao, was hiding within Nuoding City.
Three days passed.
Qin Xuan finally arrived back in Spirit City.
By noon, he had reached the Spirit Hall Primary Academy and was now standing before its gates.
