Douluo Continent: Divine Oracle Young General, Qian Renxue, please have some self-respect.

When this matter was mentioned, Xuexing couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Perhaps I am partly to blame for this."

He could probably guess why Jiang Ci disliked Xue Beng.

This Oracle General was different from many of the Empire's officials.

He was not obsessed with power; one could even say he was Buddhist in nature.

However, he attaches great importance to many issues that other officials do not care about, and can even be described as somewhat stubborn.

E.g……

Regarding the welfare and protection of soldiers and various border construction issues.

He persisted with astonishing, even ruthless, persistence on issues that had little to do with the interests of this young general.

Several years ago.

The systems of the Heavenly Dou Empire can be described as extremely crude, even appalling.

Officials of all kinds have amassed considerable wealth and embezzled funds in this matter.

As a result, welfare benefits are not being implemented at all, and border development is also worrying.

It wasn't until Jiang Ci, wielding the Divine Oracle Sword, mercilessly beheaded the criminals in front of the Heavenly Dou Gate, his blood flowing before the Snow Phoenix Terrace, that this chaotic situation was brought under control.

That's why the Heavenly Dou Empire currently has such decent protection for its soldiers.

This matter involved the interests of too many people, which made the Oracle General an enemy of many officials and subjected him to a lot of targeting.

Almost no one could figure out why Jiang Ci would do something so thankless.

But here's the final result.

Jiang Ci was not brought down by these so-called officials; in fact, his power rose even higher.

They also gave the Tiandou court a thorough bloodbath.

As a result, many civil officials in Tiandou do not actually like Jiang Ci.

After all, they disliked Jiang Ci's unconventional ways.

If Jiang Ci's own strength wasn't strong enough, he would have been dead countless times over for his actions.

The reason why avalanches are disliked is probably related to this person's personality.

After all, Avalanche has acted like a spoiled brat all these years.

This was naturally not to Jiang Ci's liking.

"The original idea was to have you act like a playboy to lower Xue Qinghe's guard, so that you wouldn't follow in the footsteps of the other princes."

"Unexpectedly, this has created difficulties for us in trying to win over that person."

"It's like being stubborn has led to a double bind."

Xuexing was also helpless.

When he had Xue Beng pretend to be a playboy, he never expected that the empire would produce an exception like Jiang Ci.

Isn't it good that everyone prioritizes their own interests? Why are there people who simply don't follow the rules?

"Uncle, what should we do?"

Avalanche asked somewhat anxiously.

As things stand, this is extremely unfavorable for him.

"Try your best," Xuexing sighed softly.

"After this battle, Jiang Ci will definitely stay in Tiandou City for a while. I will try to create opportunities for you to spend time with him."

"If I reveal your pretense of being a playboy, Jiang Ci might understand and change his mind."

"Even if we can't win him over, we absolutely must not let him side with Xue Qinghe."

"I understand, Imperial Uncle." Xue Beng nodded.

When it comes to his own life and fortune, he naturally won't hesitate.

Suddenly remembering something, Xuexing paused and spoke up to remind her:

"You'd better tone down your spoiled behavior for a while, or things will get even more complicated!"

"Huh?" Avalanche's expression turned slightly bitter.

Although his spoiled lifestyle was an act, it has to be said that being a lawless spoiled brat is really quite enjoyable.

Xue Beng was genuinely reluctant to let him suddenly change his ways.

"Um?"

Sensing the change in Prince Xuexing's gaze, Xue Beng nodded repeatedly.

"I will change, I will definitely change!"

He held up his hand and made a four.

The avalanche was quite afraid of Prince Xuexing, the royal uncle.

Inside the banquet hall.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, keenly noticed the departure of Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng.

It's easy to guess what the two were discussing.

It's nothing more than seeing that Princess Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become Jiang Ci's disciple today, further increasing Jiang Ci's influence, and they want to win him over.

Qian Renxue dismissed this with disdain.

She knew that everything Avalanche and Snowstar had done was in vain.

Given Xue Beng's usual acts of bullying men and women, Jiang Ci couldn't side with him.

Qian Renxue was perfectly aware of this.

after all……

She had noticed Jiang Ci ever since he first began to make a name for himself in the military.

They conducted a thorough investigation into everything about him.

I understand his personality very well.

Therefore, there is no worry in one's heart.

Come to think of it, it's time for me to leave.

Remembering something, a blush crept onto Qian Renxue's face.

However, the flushed face, mixed with intoxication, made it less noticeable.

The banquet is now coming to an end.

After bidding farewell to Xueye, Jiang Ci left the main hall.

Xueye didn't take the Crown Prince Qian Renxue's departure seriously and simply waved his hand in agreement.

After returning to the East Palace, Qian Renxue went straight into a study.

"Remember, don't let anyone bother me."

She whispered an instruction to the maid beside her.

This maid was different from the other maids in the Eastern Palace.

He was Qian Renxue's confidant, or rather, her death servant.

"Yes, Your Highness," the maid replied softly, placing her hands in front of her.

After finishing all this, Qian Renxue closed the study door and casually pressed a button on the bookshelf.

With a whooshing sound of gears turning, the bookshelf in front of us unfolded inwards.

What comes into view is a deep and secluded passage.

The radiance emitted by the luminous pearl illuminated the path ahead.

Qian Renxue entered the passage with a light and cheerful gait.

The gears turned again.

The bookshelf slowly closed, returning to its original state.

In a shop in Tiandou City that no one paid attention to.

The ordinary wall suddenly shook and then slowly opened.

A beautiful figure stepped out from there.

Her long, golden hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

Her delicate nose was pert and elegant, and her beautiful eyes were captivating, like autumn water.

The plain white dress made the woman look exceptionally noble.

Her peach-blossom red lips were slightly upturned, indicating that the woman was in a good mood.

She walked slowly out of the shop and disappeared into the nighttime crowd.

They strolled gracefully to the front of a quiet teahouse.

"Zhuyaxuan is booked."

"Okay, please follow me, miss."

The emerald green bamboo door slowly opened.

The woman sat on a bamboo chair, refused the tea master's offer to brew tea, and began to brew tea herself.

The movements were skillful and fluid.

It was as if an art performance was underway.

until……

The bamboo door opened again.

A young man, slightly intoxicated but with crystal-clear eyes, walked in.

The woman then raised her pretty face, a smile playing on her lips, and said in a very familiar voice:

"Long time no see, Aci."

Jiang Ci nodded slightly:

"Long time no see, Miss Xue."
