From Now On, I'm in the Dark and You're in the Light

After a moment of silence.

Su Chen sighed, his expression turning earnest.

"In truth, your coming to the Heaven Dou royal family was a mistake from the start. With your innate Soul Power of level twenty, you have completely chosen the wrong path."

"Even if you succeed, you will never be able to change your image in Bibi Dong's heart. You are a thorn in her side; the mere sight of you fills her heart with agony."

Qian Renxue's expression turned unnaturally still, but her fingernails dug deep into her palms as she remained silent.

She had already read about this in the contents of Su Chen's Diary Copy, and she understood perfectly what he meant.

Why that woman hated her, and why she loathed her to such an extent.

Being born a woman.

It was not her fault.

Qian Renxue's heart suddenly recalled the words written in Su Chen's diary, and she looked at him with eyes that were both tender and grateful.

This little angel was acting a bit strange.

Su Chen had brought this up to Qian Renxue, yet she hadn't even asked a question. Did she not wonder why Bibi Dong loathed her?

She surely must!

Hu Liena and Ye Lingling also remained silent, standing to the side like two invisible observers.

Seeing Qian Renxue listening so humbly without a single word of rebuttal or interruption, Su Chen couldn't help but think that this student was far too obedient.

I, a mere youth, am lecturing you, and you are listening so submissively without a single retort or question?

Originally, Su Chen had intended to reveal some secrets about Qian Renxue's family to answer her questions and establish his authority, ensuring she would take his instructions to heart.

Looking at her now, that seemed unnecessary.

Qian Renxue!

She was, for all intents and purposes, a schemer.

Su Chen pondered for a moment before speaking directly:

"Remember the name Tang San. He possesses the Twin Martial Souls of Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer."

"Your father's death is linked to Tang Hao, a fact you are already aware of. Tang San is Tang Hao's son, and he is a mortal enemy to both you and Martial Soul Hall. You must remember this person; his entire family will be the death of yours."

"When dealing with the Heaven Dou royal family, you must be ruthless. Whether Xue Beng is a wastrel or not is irrelevant, because at the critical moment, he can be pushed to the throne."

"Xue Xing is currently investigating the poisoning of Xue Ye and has long suspected you. Xue Xing once saved Dugu Bo's life; find a Title Douluo from Martial Soul Hall to stage an assassination attempt on Xue Xing, forcing Dugu Bo to save him and repay the debt, thereby driving Dugu Bo out of Heaven Dou City."

"Of course, Xue Beng must die!"

"Think about it: once Xue Beng is dead, you will be Xue Ye's sole heir. Even if Xue Ye harbors suspicions, what can he do? As long as your identity remains unexposed, there will be no issues."

Qian Renxue nodded, her mind beginning to calculate the plan.

However.

Some things are easier said than done.

Su Chen asked:

"Do you have any questions you would like to ask me?"

"I don't know if Nana has told you, but I am a prophet. I can know everything that has happened or will happen on this continent for a thousand years."

Qian Renxue felt a surge of joy upon hearing this; she certainly had questions.

She had so many things she wanted to ask, but since they hadn't yet openly discussed the Diary Copy, there were many things she couldn't bring herself to say.

Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Will I succeed?"

Su Chen looked at her, speechless. Beneath such a peerlessly beautiful face, she had asked such a foolish question.

"I believe that as long as you are Xue Qinghe, the only son of Xue Ye, there is no reason you shouldn't succeed!"

"But..."

Su Chen's expression grew conflicted. "If you succeed, you must remain in Heaven Dou for several years to stabilize your position, which may not necessarily be a good thing for you."

"If you fail, you will return home to inherit the family estate—the inheritance of the Angel God."

I have to say!

Su Chen was green with envy at these rich second-generation heirs. If their startup fails, they can just go home and inherit the family fortune. How can we still be friends like this?

Qian Renxue: ???

Hu Liena and Ye Lingling were also left with awkward expressions.

Succeed, and stay in Heaven Dou to be Emperor.

Fail, and go back to inherit the Angel God.

Good heavens!

Who wouldn't be envious of this?

Qian Renxue said with a serious expression:

"Can I really become the Angel God?"

Su Chen nodded heavily: "You certainly can!"

Not only can you become the Angel God, but you can also get your heart pierced through.

Seeing Qian Renxue keep asking such trivial questions, Su Chen asked once more: "Is there really nothing else you want to ask me?"

Qian Renxue fixed her beautiful eyes on Su Chen, stared for a long time, and finally shook her head.

What is there to ask?

I have already read about Bibi Dong's affairs in the Diary Copy.

You have already spoken about the matters of the Heaven Dou Empire.

I would like to ask how to manufacture the Gunpowder Hidden Weapon, but wouldn't that expose the Diary Copy?

There is no escaping this now.

Su Chen could now be certain of one thing: Qian Renxue already knew about Bibi Dong's affairs; otherwise, it would be impossible for her not to ask.

Bibi Dong's affairs could actually be considered the greatest obsession in Qian Renxue's heart.

Very well!

You little blonde angel, you actually peeked at my screen?

But it doesn't matter!

Your big secrets are already in my hands; from now on, I am in the shadows and you are in the light!

Qian Renxue suddenly looked at Su Chen and said with a serious expression:

"Are you willing to stay and help me?"

"If you are willing to stay and help me, money, beauties, status... I can give you anything, and I am even willing to share the Heaven Dou Empire with you."

Su Chen smiled, his handsome face making Qian Renxue feel somewhat mesmerized.

"These are not things I pursue, and I am already helping you. If I were to stay and handle everything personally, that would be too much trouble for me."

"Could it be!"

"Have you not noticed that I treat you differently? I respect the fates of others and do not interfere in their affairs. Yet, I came to help you of my own accord and showed you my goodwill—this is a treatment that neither Nana nor Lingling has ever received!"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, her heart becoming somewhat flustered. Damn it! I am talking to you about serious matters, what are you saying, you bastard?

Are you courting me?

Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Su Chen and said crossly: "Before saying such things, didn't you see that Nana and Lingling are also here?"

Hu Liena pursed her lips and said sarcastically: "Oh! How truly enviable!"

"But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Su Chen was quite resistant to me at first, and it was I who took the initiative to pursue him. How could it be like Xue'er, who takes the initiative to offer help?"

"Lingling, what about you?"

Ye Lingling's face turned somewhat awkward, not knowing how to respond.

"As for me, Su Chen spoke of marriage the moment we met. I felt his sincerity, and after weighing the pros and cons, I agreed to him."

Hu Liena cast a charming glance at Su Chen and pretended to be pouting: "I'm angry! You didn't take the initiative to pursue me back then!"

Su Chen pulled Hu Liena into his arms and gently comforted her. Smelling that faint, delicate fragrance, he was momentarily unable to distinguish whether it was Hu Liena's scent or Qian Renxue's.

Qian Renxue?

How did Qian Renxue get involved in this?

Ah!

Hu Liena is wearing Qian Renxue's pajamas!

It's over.

His Nine Yang True Qi surged instantly.

Su Chen's expression became somewhat strange, and Hu Liena's face also began to flush a deep red...
