Douluo Continent, Xuanwu Gate clashes, but exposed by the Heavenly Ranking.

Inside the secret chamber of the Tian Ce Mansion!

After shedding her soul bone disguise, Qian Renxue slowly awoke. Instead of opening her eyes immediately, she maintained her breathing rhythm and began to sense her surroundings.

There was no odor, the ventilation was poor, and it was very quiet.

It should be in a scene like a locked room.

and……

I didn't feel any soreness in my body, nor did I experience the stinging pain described in the book. It seems that during the time I was unconscious, my body was still innocent.

This should have been good news, but for some reason, Qian Renxue felt a faint anger in her heart.

No, I'm such a beautiful woman, and I just fainted. It's one thing for you to pick me up, but after you did nothing, isn't that a bit too insulting?

However, we can see the bigger picture from small details!

They had already made their move, yet they managed to avoid taking their own lives.

From this perspective, Xueyue should still be quite wary of the Spirit Hall's power.

"He has at least two Super Douluo around him, yet he still acts with such restraint."

"Snow Moon, my dear second brother, you've really kept this a secret for a long time!"

Before Qian Renxue could think it over again...

"Tap~ Tap~"

As footsteps sounded, before Qian Renxue could even put on an act again, Xueyue's clear and cold voice rang out.

"Now that you're awake, there's no need to pretend anymore!"

Seeing that she couldn't fool Xueyue, Qian Renxue stood up straight and slowly opened her eyes, sitting up as well.

After a quick look around, Qian Renxue was certain that this was a secret room, but she didn't know its exact location.

[Fine, even the most sophisticated defenses have weaknesses. As long as I'm not dead, I'll find a chance to escape someday!]

Two people stood outside the secret room, one of whom was Xueyue, whom Qian Renxue had met before.

As for the other beautiful woman dressed in palace attire...

Judging from his appearance, he is not very old, but his aura is extremely profound.

Without revealing her spirit rings, Qian Renxue didn't know the other party's exact cultivation level.

However, being able to get so close to Qin Yun clearly means he's a trusted confidant.

Even if he wasn't a Title Douluo, he should at least be a Soul Douluo!

Having made up her mind, and in order to gain more bargaining chips, Qian Renxue suppressed her fear and spoke calmly.

"Although I knew long ago that your appointment as a prince outside the capital was for a very big purpose, not just a simple life of debauchery and romance."

What I didn't expect was that in just a few years, our Prince Qin had actually amassed such a fortune.

Such a poor inspection! I, the Crown Prince of Tiandou, am truly incompetent in my duties!

Changing the subject, Qian Renxue continued.

"Serpent Spear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, and all the people in the Crown Prince's residence, what have you done to them?"

Qian Renxue fainted too quickly back then, and all she remembered was that the Porcupine Douluo was blown apart by Poison Undying with a single punch, but she really didn't know what happened to the others.

The woman in palace attire beside her pulled over a chair made of ancient bamboo. Xueyue slowly sat down on it, then crossed her legs, tilted her head to support her cheek, and said.

"You and I both know what will happen, so why ask?"

"Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, no, perhaps I should call you Young Master of the Spirit Hall... Qian Renxue, right?"

"So you knew!"

Suppressing her grief over the deaths of her trusted confidants, Qian Renxue also threatened in a cold voice.

"But it doesn't matter. Now that you know my true identity, I advise you to let me go obediently."

Otherwise, if my grandfather, or even the Pope of the Spirit Hall, finds out, they might besiege the city and start a national war.

Then you, Xueyue, are the sinners of this war!

"At this point, I advise you to refrain from making any threats."

Otherwise... can you tell where we are?

What happened to your mother back then could very well happen to you!

？ ！！

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's pupils were instantly filled with shock.

Xueyue actually knows who her mother is?

But that doesn't make sense. Even within the Spirit Hall, not many people know that Bibi Dong is his mother. How did Xue Yue find out?

Could it be that he has spies within the Spirit Hall?

Moreover, what does it mean that what happened to Bibi Dong back then will happen to me?

What exactly happened back then?

Qian Renxue: "What do you mean? What happened back then?"

"Oh, I forgot, you, who aren't an orphan but are in a similar situation, have no idea what happened back then!"

"Never mind, consider this a reminder to you, so you don't do anything foolish."

You know that your father is Chihiro.

But have you never wondered why your father, who had a level 95 soul power cultivation, suddenly died?

Furthermore, as your father's disciple, why did Bibi Dong give birth to you, and why did she become the current Pope of the Spirit Hall with Qian Daoliu's tacit approval?

Use your brilliant brain! If there wasn't something wrong, how could things have gotten to this point!

Qian Renxue is not a stupid person. On the contrary, aside from being love-struck, she is quite intelligent.

Under Xueyue's repeated reminders, Qian Renxue also had a terrible suspicion in her mind.

Her father, Qian Xunji, had raped her mother, Bibi Dong, in a secret room, which resulted in her birth.

It is highly likely that Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji herself, but because the Qian family was in the wrong, the honest grandfather Qian Daoliu did not pursue the matter.

He even made Bibi Dong, who gave birth to him, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall!

That makes sense. If that's the case, then everything makes sense!

Why does Grandpa never mention anything about his father? Why does Bibi Dong, as a mother, hate him so much?

If that's the case, then everything can be explained!

"An orphan who isn't an orphan? That bastard Xueyue, that description is really apt!"

Although I don't know how Xueyue knew such a secret.

However, having learned from such a lesson, Qian Renxue, now locked in the secret room, did indeed become more cautious.

"What...what exactly do you want to do?"

Xueyue: "Don't be nervous. Although I like beautiful women, I don't like to use force."

I can promise you that as long as you stay here obediently, your life will not be in danger.

But... if I find out you've done anything else underhanded, I think I don't need to elaborate on the consequences, right?

Based on Xueyue's understanding of Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, as long as Qian Renxue is still alive, they will inevitably be hesitant to act against her.

Even knowing the hidden power of the Tian Ce Mansion, they wouldn't resort to violence for Qian Renxue's safety.

For Xueyue, every extra day he could delay the inevitable would greatly increase his chances of winning!

As long as we can gather six Limit Douluos, whether or not the Heavenly Ranking is revealed will no longer be an issue!

With a flick of her finger, Xueyue addressed the woman in palace attire beside her.

"Yali, starting today, you can put teaching aside for a while. Your main task is to keep an eye on her."

Give her one meal a day, just enough to keep her from starving, but don't let her engage in any spiritual practices.

If she's lucky, she might only be locked up for a year or two before being released!

"Yes, Your Highness!"
