Ning Fengzhi: Qinghe, the Grand Secretary's Daughter Has Long Been Secretly in Love with You

She Long led Lin Luo into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Led by the school's guards, they walked through winding corridors, past gardens, rockeries, and fountains, all the way to the inner courtyard of the school.

Lin Luo was dazzled by what he saw and discovered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School was not much inferior to the imperial palace.

If you're so wealthy, why were you so stingy at the auction?

After the guards announced their arrival, She Long led Lin Luo into the backyard, where they saw Ning Fengzhi and Qian Renxue playing chess. Of course, Qian Renxue was dressed as Xue Qinghe at the time.

Upon seeing Lin Luo, Qian Renxue was initially taken aback, then her expression subtly furrowed.

"Luo'er is here too?"

She feigned surprise and said, then immediately walked over and hugged Lin Luo, but whispered to She Long, "Why did you bring him here?"

She Long was somewhat surprised. "Ning Fengzhi said he would invite the young master over. I thought you had agreed as well. Young master, is there a problem?"

Qian Renxue shook her head slightly. "I don't know. You stay here and keep watch, don't leave."

"Yes."

Qian Renxue didn't want her son to get too involved in the Heaven Dou forces; she, as his mother, could handle everything else.

Holding Lin Luo in her arms, Qian Renxue glared at the child without leaving a trace. She had originally planned to go back and teach him a lesson about his early romance with Xue Fu, but she never expected that the mother and son would run into each other at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Behave yourself, don't say anything out of line."

She whispered another instruction to Lin Luo.

Lin Luo didn't respond; instead, he curiously touched Qian Renxue's chest.

Knowing that her son disliked Xue Qinghe's appearance, Qian Renxue hardly transformed into Xue Qinghe in front of Lin Luo. She knew that her son was probably curious about whether his mother still had breasts.

That silly child.

Ning Fengzhi stood up with a smile, "Qinghe, I apologize for inviting His Highness the Crown Prince without your permission."

Qian Renxue: "Teacher, what are you saying? Logically speaking, Luo'er should have come to see you long ago."

Lin Luo's stomach rumbled at that moment, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Dinner is ready, come with me."

Lin Luo was surprised to find Ning Rongrong at the dinner table.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, as he was already starving. After a few bites, he even found that the food at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was surprisingly decent.

Before long, Qian Renxue finally asked the question that had been bothering her, "I wonder if there's something you wanted to discuss with us, father and son, today, Teacher?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "My main purpose, of course, is to meet His Highness the Crown Prince. I've been curious about him for a long time."

Qian Renxue smiled without saying a word, taking small bites of her food. She knew Ning Fengzhi had more to say.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Lin Luo and said gently, "I've heard that Your Highness is a skilled swordsman. Sword Douluo was very interested after hearing this and is considering taking Your Highness as his disciple."

When Qian Renxue discovered Lin Luo refining a sword, she guessed that the boy knew how to use a sword. "That brat Xue Ke, she didn't tell me a single thing she should have said!" Qian Renxue thought to herself.

Qian Renxue smiled and politely declined, "With the skills of Sword Douluo, my son is probably not qualified."

Ning Fengzhi said softly, "Qinghe, don't rush to refuse. His Highness is incredibly talented. If he had Titled Douluo to guide him, his future cultivation would surely be twice as effective."

Qian Renxue glanced at him and found that Ning Fengzhi was staring intently at her.

With just one glance, she could tell that Ning Fengzhi was determined to bring Lin Luo into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

She smiled slightly and said, "I appreciate your kindness, teacher, Luo'er Qinghe shy around strangers, so it's better for her to stay by my side."

Suddenly, Qian Renxue sensed a sharp aura coming from behind Ning Fengzhi. She looked up and saw that Chen Xin had appeared at some point, his eyes sharp and seemingly hostile.

Ning Fengzhi retorted, "Uncle Jian, you mustn't be rude!"

"Yes, Sect Master."

Ning Fengzhi then smiled and said to Qian Renxue, "Uncle Jian is so eager to take on a disciple that he got impatient when he heard His Highness the Crown Prince refuse, hehehe..."

Qian Renxue remained expressionless, knowing that the meaning of this meal had changed. She had thought it was just a reunion between "master and disciple," but she hadn't expected Ning Fengzhi to reveal his true colors and have ill intentions.

She could only think of two reasons.

First, Ning Fengzhi somehow discovered Luo'er's talent and was eager to recruit her into his camp.

Secondly, Ning Fengzhi discovered some clues about her false identity as "Xue Qinghe," otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly changed his attitude so drastically, even losing the basic respect he had for the Crown Prince's identity.

What happened here during my pregnancy?

Remembering that Dugu Bo had planned an assassination attempt on her without knowing her identity, Qian Renxue sensed that something was very wrong.

What's going on here?

Qian Renxue looked at Chen Xin: "Does Sword Douluo mean that if I disagree, my son and I will never be able to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Chen Xin lowered his head and said in a cold tone, "I wouldn't dare."

Ning Fengzhi spoke up, "Qinghe, you flatter me. To be honest, I'm still getting used to it. The way you two refer to yourselves as father and son has made me think many times that His Highness really is your biological son."

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean, teacher?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and picked up his wine cup, saying, "I mean nothing else. I simply care about the royal family and cannot stand by and watch the current crown prince have no legitimate heir."

Qian Renxue stared at him without saying a word.

Ning Fengzhi continued, "I've heard that the Grand Secretary's daughter harbors feelings for you. Perhaps I could do you a favor and act as a matchmaker for His Highness? I believe His Majesty and the Grand Secretary would be more than happy to do so."

He's threatening me.

But why threaten someone with something like this?

Suddenly, Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise, and her fingers slowly clenched.

Ning Fengzhi, could it be that you know I'm a woman?

Lin Luo sat in the chair, swinging her legs in the air, eating a chicken leg while observing Ning Fengzhi's face.

Sure enough, Tang San was reborn.

If it's still not certain now, then he might as well throw his brain away.

Having gotten to know Dugu Bo and Ning Fengzhi beforehand, even going to Gengxin City to buy metal, including Dugu Bo's assassination attempt, and Ning Fengzhi threatening to marry the Crown Princess today...

All of this proves that Tang San told Ning Fengzhi a lot of information, including information about Qian Renxue.

Putting everything else aside, Ning Fengzhi must now know that the Crown Prince is a woman, otherwise he wouldn't have threatened him with the matter of taking a concubine.

Lin Luo finally understood what that special mission was all about.

Qian Renxue thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "No need for you to trouble yourself, teacher. I already have someone I love, and I won't be too late to get married. I will invite you to my wedding banquet then."

"Don't rush into a decision. Do you think His Majesty would agree to you marrying a woman with no official status or background, and not even belonging to the Heaven Dou Clan? The Grand Secretary's daughter is your best choice. Otherwise, Prince Qinghe can only be guilty of something he doesn't understand."

Ning Fengzhi said.

That old bastard completely ruined my idea of having the Spirit Hall find a spy to be my wife as a cover... Qian Renxue really wanted to slap him to death right now.

Then I can only find a woman in Heaven Dou, and she can't be a woman without any background, otherwise I won't be able to get past Xue Ye.

We need to contact the Spirit Hall and ask them to come up with a solution quickly.

That old bastard Ning Fengzhi, in order to recruit Luo'er, is now choosing to completely break ties with me?

Qian Renxue knew that he hadn't just discovered he was a woman; he had been holding back from reporting it because he felt it would be detrimental to him.
