Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

"Yanyan?"

Ye Lingling's eyes flashed with a strange light.

Beneath the veil, her tender face, which had been pinched by Qian Renjue, still held a faint blush.

"Lingling, open the door."

Dugu Yan's voice sounded again.

Qian Renxue stood quietly behind her, waiting patiently.

In just a few breaths, the door opened, and the somewhat delicate figure of Ye Lingling appeared.

"Yanyan? And…"

Ye Lingling was about to ask when she was drawn to the sacred and noble aura emanating from Qian Renxue.

Her blue eyes sparkled with amazement.

Without a doubt, Qian Renxue was incredibly beautiful, possessing a kind of otherwordly charm.

Her appearance bore a striking resemblance to Qian Renjue, about 60 to 70 percent similar.

Ye Lingling had seen her several years ago, standing beside Qian Renjue at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Ye Lingling already understood the identity of the woman before her.

In their past meetings, Qian Renjue would occasionally complain about how his mom and elder sister spoiled him excessively and often teased him by pinching his face.

Ye Lingling watched as Qian Renxue's lips moved, but no sound came out.

This was their first meeting, and for a moment, she didn't know how to address her.

Nor did she understand the purpose of Qian Renxue's visit.

As Ye Lingling looked at Qian Renxue, Qian Renxue was also sizing her up, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

Long, straight blue hair, ethereal eyes, a slender and well-proportioned figure, with gentle curves.

A slim waist and long legs.

Qian Renxue already knew her external appearance very well.

She looked somewhat more down-to-earth than when they first met, more human.

"Not bad," was Qian Renxue's current evaluation.

At least she wasn't like those foxy women who had irritated her before.

And the letters they exchanged hadn't contained anything improper.

The exchange of glances between the two women happened in an instant.

Dugu Yan softly introduced, "Lingling, this is Miss Xue, His Highness's older sister. Let's go inside and talk."

"Alright."

Seeing Dugu Yan's respectful manner, Ye Lingling hesitated for a moment but said nothing more, stepping aside to allow them in.

Dugu Yan followed behind Qian Renxue, slowly entering the room.

Her pale green eyes seemed to convey a message, but Ye Lingling didn't understand.

However, she knew Qian Renxue's Noble status.

Ye Lingling slightly bowed and greeted her, "Ye Lingling greets Miss Xue."

Seeing this, Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried Ye Lingling might offend Qian Renxue.

Fortunately, Ye Lingling wasn't a confrontational person.

"There's no need to be so formal," Qian Renxue said casually as she moved about, examining the room, which was no longer open to outsiders.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan exchanged glances but said nothing.

Qian Renxue sat down by the table, and Dugu Yan quickly followed, pouring her a fragrant cup of hot tea.

"To be honest, I don't think you two are suitable for each other."

Gulp!

The tea that Dugu Yan was pouring suddenly halted but quickly resumed.

Ye Lingling's delicate body trembled.

Her previously calm heart was now in turmoil, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

Her mind raced with worry, but she soon regained her composure.

"Heh."

Qian Renxue laughed softly.

She wasn't lying.

From the very beginning, she had thought so, and still did now.

Her eyes lit up with a bright white glow, as if trying to see through the girl in front of her.

Her lips parted slightly:

"Are you willing to leave Jue?"

"Miss Xue..."

Dugu Yan wanted to say something but was quickly silenced with a glare.

She could only stand there anxiously.

She knew Ye Lingling's personality—lonely, cold, and quiet.

But ever since Qian Renjue had appeared, Ye Lingling had started speaking more.

The two women talked every day about Qian Renjue.

Whenever His Highness was mentioned, no matter how dull the topic, Ye Lingling was willing to say more.

Dugu Yan couldn't imagine what would happen if Ye Lingling really left.

Would she lock herself in an even darker, more desolate place?

"I listen to him," Ye Lingling said softly, her voice slightly lower.

Her gaze fixed on Qian Renxue as she clenched her sleeves and bit her lips, her breathing growing a little heavier.

With her head bowed, she continued, "As long as he doesn't say he doesn't want me, I will always stay by his side."

"Is that your answer?"

Qian Renxue's expression didn't change, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

"But what if he truly doesn't want you anymore?"

"He won't," Ye Lingling said firmly.

Though their time together had been brief, from his actions and words, Ye Lingling could clearly feel his warmth.

It was a warmth that touched her deeply.

She trusted Qian Renjue, even more than she trusted herself!

"Jue indeed wouldn't," Qian Renxue acknowledged, taking a sip of tea and nodding.

She teased, "But if I spoke to him, do you think he would?"

"He wouldn't," Ye Lingling responded without hesitation, giving the same answer.

She raised her gaze to look at Qian Renxue.

"Miss Xue, if there's anything about me you're unhappy with, please tell me. I can change."

"Just don't make things difficult for him, alright?"

Ye Lingling's breathing grew heavier.

She believed in Qian Renjue and knew that as long as she didn't make mistakes, he wouldn't abandon her.

But she was also afraid that he might be troubled by the situation.

"Haha."

Qian Renxue chuckled softly.

Her eyes held a trace of satisfaction.

It seemed that sometimes, stubbornness wasn't such a bad trait after all.

"Fine, I won't make things difficult for you, lest Jue thinks I'm bullying you."

Qian Renxue shrugged.

Ye Lingling didn't need to change anymore.

There was no need for further discussion.

"I won't tell him," Ye Lingling promised.

"Alright."

Qian Renxue smiled, waving her hand.

The pressure she had exuded vanished entirely.

"Come and have some tea. Don't be nervous; I just came to formally meet you."

"Yanyan, you sit down too."

"Thank you, Miss Xue," Dugu Yan said, finally relaxing. Thankfully, Miss Xue wasn't serious.

"But speaking of which..." Qian Renxue's tone shifted, causing Dugu Yan to tense up again.

"Do you often wear a veil at home?"

Qian Renxue asked curiously, frowning.

"No," Ye Lingling shook her head lightly.

"Really? I thought you were afraid of scaring Jue."

Ye Lingling, who had just walked to the table, froze, pursing her lips.

She was simply too shy and blushed easily.

Wearing a veil helped her interact better with Qian Renjue.

Then she grew curious—how did Qian Ren Xue know she wore a veil when with Qian Ren Jue?

Without thinking too much, Ye Lingling obediently removed her veil.

"Not bad," Qian Renxue remarked, admiring her delicate, blushing face.

"How about coming back to the Spirit Hall with me?"

"..."

——

Qian Renjue had no idea.

Just as he had left, Qian Renxue had gone to find Ye Lingling.

At this moment, he was already sitting in a carriage heading to Nuoding city

The carriage sped along.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Dugu Bo, wearing a conical hat, was driving the carriage.

Inside, Xiao Wu was resting with her head on Qian Renjue's lap, while Ling Yuan sat beside him, her elbow occasionally bumping against him as the carriage swayed.

The carriage windows were wide open, allowing Xiao Wu to enjoy the scenery and fresh air.

Qian Renjue's hand rested lightly on Xiao Wu's neck, noticing the pink Soul Absorbing Pearl.

He was suddenly lost in thought.

It was something he had obtained years ago when opening a box.

The wheels rumbled.

The carriage traveled along the road. In half an hour, they would reach their destination.

Rumble!

The sound outside grew louder.

"Ugh~"

Xiao Wu couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her ears.

Qian Renjue glanced outside the window and saw a modest carriage passing by.

The carriage door curtain lifted slightly.

A black-haired child, looking out curiously, had a calm gaze.

The two glanced at each other as the carriages passed in opposite directions.

It was just a fleeting moment.

But Qian Renjue furrowed his brow.

"Senior Dugu, stop the carriage!"
