Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 192 Qian Renxue

Soon, the news that Tianshui Academy had lost a Soul Saint at a newly appeared tainted spot spread like a bombshell throughout the entire Tiandou City.

In fact, this was done intentionally by Fengying and others.

They hoped to attract more powerful people's attention to that filthy spot, only in this way could they increase their chances of rescuing Shui Ming'er, who might still be alive.

Although they knew in their hearts that such hope was extremely slim, they still wanted to avenge Shui Ming'er and give her an explanation, no matter what.

On the top floor of a rather large three-story restaurant in Tiandou City, a handsome young man with blond hair stood quietly by the window, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the bustling Tiandou Street outside.

He possessed an elegant demeanor, and his every gesture exuded an innate nobility.

Beside him stood a thin middle-aged man in golden armor, who asked him in a deep voice, "Young Master, should I clean up that filth spot? This special filth spot might reveal an extremely precious treasure after it is cleaned up."

This blond youth is Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, which is also the disguise of Qian Renxue.

She shook her head slightly and said calmly, "No need, Uncle She. It's not appropriate for you to take action. Someone else will do it. We'll just watch."

Xue Qinghe wasn't particularly interested in the treasures that might appear after cleaning up the filth.

After all, as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire and the young master of the Spirit Hall, she had seen all sorts of rare treasures, so treasures held little appeal for her.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Xue Qinghe's gaze inadvertently fell on a figure passing by on the street, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Ci Xue, the Porcupine Douluo who was also wearing golden armor but had a slightly rounder figure, asked upon seeing this.

Xue Qinghe showed interest and said, "I saw an interesting person, Uncle Ci Xue. Go and invite him over for a chat. Remember to be friendly."

She was clearly more interested in the person she had just seen than the filth.

"My subordinate understands!"

The Porcupine Douluo immediately mobilized his Title Douluo-level mental power, instantly locking onto the person in Xue Qinghe's line of sight. Then, his figure disappeared from the spot like a phantom.

"Hmm?" Lu Jingming keenly sensed a gaze fixed on him from behind, and he subconsciously turned around to look at the restaurant he had just passed.

Along the way, due to his outstanding looks and unique temperament, quite a few people have secretly watched him, which he has long been used to.

However, the feeling of being locked in by mental energy just now was completely different from before.

"A Title Douluo!" Lu Jingming instantly sensed the power of this spiritual force and pondered to himself.

In today's Heaven Dou City, there are only a handful of Title Douluo-level powerhouses, namely Poison Douluo, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and at most Haotian Douluo. Who on earth is so bored as to target him, a seemingly ordinary Soul Emperor?
"Little one, my young master requests your presence. Please come with me!"

When Lu Jingming saw the Porcupine Douluo blocking his way, he suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that there were two hidden Title Douluos in Tiandou City, and the one in front of him was one of them.

“I’d like to say no!” Lu Jingming tilted his head slightly, a half-smile curving his lips, his eyes filled with a hint of provocation.

The Porcupine Douluo looked Lu Jingming up and down with a mixture of surprise and doubt.

He had just deliberately released a trace of his soul power to intimidate the white-haired youth in front of him, who looked almost too handsome.

But at this moment, it seems that his deterrent measure has not had any effect.

Upon closer inspection, the Porcupine Douluo finally understood why his young master had suddenly developed such a strong interest in a stranger.

Putting aside Lu Jingming's outstanding appearance, his young master is not someone who is obsessed with looks.

The key is that Lu Jingming exudes a noble and confident aura, as well as a restrained arrogance, which is in no way inferior to his own young master.

This truly surprised him. You see, his young master held multiple identities as both the young master of the Spirit Hall and the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. He had undergone countless trials and tribulations to cultivate such a temperament. How did this young man in front of him possess it?

"Then please forgive my rudeness!" As a titled Douluo, the Porcupine Douluo naturally had his own temper.

If it weren't for the young master's special instructions to invite him in a friendly manner, he probably would have just forcibly arrested him.

Since Lu Jingming was refusing, he had no choice but to resort to force and bring the man before the young master.

"Interesting, let's go."

Just as the Porcupine Douluo was gathering his soul power and preparing to make a move, Lu Jingming suddenly smiled. This sudden change almost made the Porcupine Douluo stumble.

"Good lad, come with me!" The Porcupine Douluo's lips twitched slightly, feeling as if he had been tricked by this young man. However, he wasn't angry, after all, this was someone the young master was interested in, and he himself wasn't a petty person.

As a titled Douluo, it would be beneath his dignity to make things difficult for a junior, except, of course, when carrying out the young master's mission.

Lu Jingming followed behind the Porcupine Douluo, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing an equally interested expression.

It wouldn't hurt to meet the future angel goddess Qian Renxue; perhaps we could even have some fun together.

The two walked through the bustling streets and entered the three-story restaurant, heading straight to the luxurious private room on the top floor.

As soon as Lu Jingming entered, he spotted Xue Qinghe, a blond young man with a noble yet gentle demeanor.

Looking at Xue Qinghe before him, Lu Jingming sighed inwardly. It was hard to imagine that beneath this male disguise lay an unparalleled beauty.

However, in Lu Jingming's view, although Qian Renxue was exceptionally talented and had been able to successfully disguise herself and hide in the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years, she was not lacking in shrewdness, patience and wisdom, but she always failed at crucial moments.

It can be said that Qian Renxue's romantic nature and occasional lapses in intelligence are the main reasons for the downfall of the Spirit Hall.

It's truly disheartening that the Spirit Hall, with its formidable strength, actually lost in the end.

The Spirit Hall possesses nearly twenty Title Douluos, a force powerful enough to sweep away any power on the Douluo Continent. However, they were too cautious, giving their enemies time to grow stronger.

As far as Lu Jingming knew, there were about 100,000 Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, and the Spirit Hall accounted for as many as 70,000 of them. Although most of them were low-level Soul Masters, they were still a terrifying force.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall enjoys extremely high prestige among the common people, and is at its zenith, almost like the uncrowned king of the Douluo Continent.

Yet, this very powerful force ultimately met its demise.

With the Spirit Hall's profound foundation, anyone in charge would have had a perfect start, but it just so happens that it was led by two love-struck women.

"Young man, please forgive my abrupt invitation. I only caught a glimpse of you and felt that you had an extraordinary air about you, so I wish to make your acquaintance."

Xue Qinghe smiled, stood up gracefully, gestured for him to stand, and began to explain gently.

His attitude was humble and polite, without the arrogance of an imperial prince, giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Of course, Lu Jingming knew in his heart that this was just Qian Renxue's disguise. The real Qian Renxue was aloof and noble, and not so easy to get along with.

"So it's Your Highness the Crown Prince. May I ask what brings Your Highness here?" Lu Jingming said without any ceremony, sitting down directly opposite Xue Qinghe and casually picking up his teacup to take a sip.

He had just seen that the tea was brewed by Xue Qinghe himself, so he figured he might as well drink it, and he wasn't worried at all that it might be poisoned.

Seeing Lu Jingming's actions, a glint of light flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, but then a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Young brother, don't misunderstand. Since you already know my identity, you know that I usually like to make friends with all kinds of talented people. I just caught a glimpse of you and found your temperament to be extraordinary, so I was tempted to befriend you. May I ask where you are from?"

Xue Qinghe was not surprised that Lu Jingming directly revealed his first identity. After all, he was not a reclusive person. There were quite a few people in Tiandou City and even the entire Douluo Continent who knew him as the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire.

"So that's how it is. Your Highness the Crown Prince wants to recruit me? But I am a citizen of the Star Luo Empire!" Lu Jingming looked at Xue Qinghe with a half-smile, deliberately teasing her.

Since we're bored anyway, finding some fun to do is a good idea.

Moreover, what he said was not a lie; the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years later would naturally still be the Star Luo Empire.

Xue Qinghe's expression froze for a moment, clearly not expecting Lu Jingming to be so direct, and even claiming to be a member of the Star Luo Empire.

He could sense that Lu Jingming wasn't lying, but this only made him more interested in Lu Jingming.

Despite knowing his identity, Lu Jingming remained neither humble nor arrogant, showing no respect whatsoever, and even revealed without hesitation that he came from the Star Luo Empire, which had a tense relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, everyone knows that the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire have always been at odds, with constant border conflicts. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall mediating between them, the two countries would probably have been locked in a fierce battle long ago.

In front of him, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Lu Jingming appeared even more composed and calm than he was. Xue Qinghe would never believe that he didn't have some confidence.

He didn't believe Lu Jingming was a fool; how could a fool develop such an air? So he became even more curious about Lu Jingming.

"You already know my identity, young man, but I don't know your name yet. You look quite young. Do you have any elders with you?"

Xue Qinghe began to probe subtly.

With the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo by his side, he was certain that no other powerful figures were hiding.
