Qian Renxue's Anger: Not Only Disliked, But Also Called Mentally Unsound?

Bo Saixi suppressed her laughter, lifted her head, and restored a dignified and gentle expression to her face. She looked at Li Qing and asked with a deliberately teasing tone, "How about it, Little Qing? The bride I've found for you—not bad, right? Whether it's her appearance, talent, or family background, she is one in a million. Why not take advantage of the elders being here today and settle this marriage?"

Her words were both a probe into Li Qing's attitude and a way to give Qian Renxue a graceful exit, as Li Qing's earlier appraisal had been completely undisguised.

Hearing this, Li Qing wore a helpless expression and spread his hands. "Sister, you make it sound as if she's already mine. A marriage contract is a matter between two people; at the very least, we should ask for the opinion of this... Sister Qian Renxue, right? If she isn't willing, wouldn't that be awkward?"

As he spoke, he winked at Qian Renxue, his expression clearly saying, See? I'm very democratic; I won't force you.

Li Qing was certain that with Qian Renxue's arrogant nature, she would certainly dislike this kind of arranged, almost forced marriage, especially since they were complete strangers to each other.

Sure enough, when Qian Renxue heard Li Qing's words and his inner thoughts—which were so certain she would object—the fire in her heart burned even brighter.

Yet, she truly felt resistant to this method. She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger of being looked down upon by Li Qing, and forced a reserved, gentle smile onto her face, following his lead.

"Younger Brother Li Qing is right. We are meeting for the first time and do not yet understand each other. Marriage is a major life event and should not be treated as child's play. Why don't we... start as friends, try to communicate and get to know each other, and cultivate some feelings? If we are truly fated to be together in the future, it won't be too late to discuss marriage then. Senior Bo Saixi, Grandfather, what do you think?"

Her words were reasonable and logical; they provided an exit for both sides while avoiding the fate of being bound immediately.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing nodded like a pecking chicken, his face showing an expression of you truly understand me. "Yes, yes, yes! This beautiful sister is absolutely right! I raise both hands in favor! What era is this? We believe in free love now; that whole arranged marriage thing is long outdated!"

[Great! As long as we don't get engaged immediately and lock in a status, there will be plenty of opportunities and room to maneuver to ruin this marriage later! When the time comes, I can just find an excuse—like incompatible personalities or different ambitions—and it will be easy to cancel it.] Li Qing rejoiced inwardly, already beginning to calculate how to have a peaceful breakup.

However, his inner calculations were heard clearly by both Qian Renxue and Bo Saixi.

Qian Renxue's complexion, which had softened slightly because Li Qing agreed with her, turned dark again in an instant—even darker than before!

She gritted her teeth, her chest heaving slightly.

She was actually... being looked down upon this much?!

He was already thinking about how to ruin the marriage?!

She, Qian Renxue, had the looks, the figure, a top-tier god-level martial soul, and the background of being the Saintess of Martial Soul Hall and the granddaughter of the High Priestess!

If this were announced in public, the line of her suitors would stretch from Martial Soul City all the way to Heaven Dou City!

And yet?

Here on Sea God Island, in the eyes of this twelve-year-old brat, she was nothing more than a nuisance whose engagement needed to be canceled?!

He even thought she had a brain problem?!

It was simply... a supreme humiliation!

Unreasonable!

It was infuriating!

As for Bo Saixi, she shook her head inwardly. This little guy was calculating quite shrewdly, but unfortunately, the other party could hear him.

Just then, Li Qing's thoughts seemed to drift further away, his inner monologue becoming even more frustrated:

[She clearly possesses a top-tier god-level martial soul like the Six-Winged Angel, Innate Full Soul Power, and a top-tier powerhouse like Qian Daoliu as a backer—she has all the talent, background, and resources one could want. And yet? She insists on carrying out that infiltration plan for the Heaven Dou Empire... Sure, the early stage of disguising herself as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was quite successful, and she stirred up the Heaven Dou Empire, which showed some ability. But the problem is, you were exposed in the end! And exposed so thoroughly! Ten-plus years of infiltration, only to fall short at the final hurdle—if that's not being a loser, what is? With that time and energy, wouldn't it have been better to stay in Martial Soul Hall to cultivate and accept the Angel God Trial? With your aptitude, if you had become a god earlier, what would the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, or even the Upper Three Sects be in the face of god-level power? Wouldn't it have been enough to just steamroll them and unify the continent? Why make it so complicated, exhaust yourself, and end up failing? What a... total idiot!]

"!!!"

This time, it wasn't just Qian Renxue whose delicate body trembled violently, the color draining from her beautiful face, her eyes filled with extreme horror and disbelief!

Even Qian Daoliu, who had been sitting steadily, keenly sensed the violent fluctuations in his granddaughter's emotions, though he hadn't heard the inner voice, and cast a questioning look.

And Bo Saixi's expression also shifted, her blue eyes filled with shock!

How did he know?!

The Heaven Dou Empire infiltration plan was one of the highest secrets of Martial Soul Hall!

Except for a very small number of core high-level members, no one knew about it!

How did Li Qing, a twelve-year-old boy who had never left Sea God Island, find out?

He even knew the disguised identity of "Xue Qinghe," and... that the plan would be exposed and fail?!

Qian Renxue's heart hammered, almost leaping out of her chest.

Her infiltration of Heaven Dou, transforming into Xue Qinghe, was the greatest secret of her life and her proudest work!

She had always thought it was seamless, not even seen through by the most cunning Ning Fengzhi or Emperor Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire!

Yet this boy spoke of her greatest secret—and the failure she refused to believe would happen—as if he had seen it with his own eyes, so nonchalantly in his heart!

Could it be... that he really could foresee the future?!

But Li Qing's rant wasn't over yet. He seemed to get angrier the more he thought about it, his inner voice laced with indignation:

[That's not even the stupidest part! The stupidest part is that she clearly had the chance to become a god early and possess the power to crush everything, but what happened? After becoming a god, she actually made a bet with that cheater Tang San! She lost the bet and then, out of soft-heartedness, gave him the chance to grow and make a comeback! And what was the result? Martial Soul Hall was destroyed, the Angel God position was shattered, and she ended up in a miserable state! She had a perfect hand of cards and played it into a complete disaster! She is the loser of losers, the idiot of idiots! Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. If it were me, with that starting configuration, if Tang San managed to grow up and make a comeback, I would have eaten the Sea God's trident raw on the spot!]

BOOM—!!!

In the minds of both Qian Renxue and Bo Saixi, it was as if billions of thunderbolts had exploded at once!

The Angel God position shattered?

Martial Soul Hall destroyed?

She... ended up in a miserable state?

A bet? Giving Tang San a chance?

These pieces of information, like the sharpest ice picks, pierced deep into Qian Renxue's soul, leaving her chilled to the bone, as if she had fallen into an icy abyss!

Her future destiny... was actually like this?!

Bo Saixi was likewise shaken beyond measure by this earth-shattering "prophecy."

The information she had previously gleaned from Li Qing's inner voice regarding Tang San and the Asura God was already astonishing enough, but those matters had ultimately felt somewhat distant.

Yet now, he had predicted Qian Renxue's future with such specificity, even including the ultimate fate of Martial Soul Hall!

This went far beyond the mere scope of knowing secrets; it was as if... he had experienced it all firsthand!

Inside the Sea God Hall, a deathly silence reigned.

Only Li Qing seemed still immersed in his own frustration and disappointment, completely unaware that his inner monologue had stirred up such devastating, turbulent waves in the hearts of the two peerless beauties before him.
