After Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong left, Qian Renxue took Lin Yuan into a private room at a teahouse.
"Why didn't you just agree to their request?" she asked curiously.
"Ning Rongrong is rather wild," Lin Yuan said. "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has spoiled her since childhood."
"She likes novelty."
"The more you indulge her, the duller she'll find you. Do the opposite, and she'll become intensely curious about you."
"She'll come to you on her own. She might even throw herself at you."
"I see. No wonder she looked down on that fellow..." Qian Renxue nodded in realization, then gave Lin Yuan a knowing look.
"I wouldn't have guessed you were such a clever liar. You even came up with a story that outlandish."
"If a new female Titled Douluo had appeared on Douluo Continent, I might actually have believed you."
Lin Yuan smiled faintly. "You flatter me, Young Lord Qian. I'm only trying to make a living."
"Enough nonsense," Qian Renxue said with a frown. "When do you plan to take Ning Rongrong on this supposed journey across the continent?"
"Once I've absorbed the Head Soul Bone, of course," Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"Hmph. You won't lift a finger until you've got what you want." Qian Renxue gave a cold smile, then relaxed her brow. "Don't worry. At Uncle She's speed, the Soul Bone will be in your hands by tomorrow night at the latest."
"I'll look forward to it. Once I have the Soul Bone, I'll find Ning Rongrong and take her out to train. Give me one to three months, and she'll be mine. When Ning Rongrong returns pregnant, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will have no choice but to swallow its anger, however much it hates the situation."
