Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 274 A Secret Meeting with Qian Renxue: The Girl's Blushing Surpassed Everything! Yu Xiaolie was Enraged!
In fact, no token was needed. With Yu Xiaolie's strength, he could have easily infiltrated the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace without being discovered.

That night, Yu Xiaolie stood boldly on the palace wall, concealing all his presence.

This supposedly impregnable imperial city was nothing more than a decoration in his eyes.

He then lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure floated like a light leaf across several palaces without even disturbing the patrolling guards.

Meanwhile, in the back garden of the First Prince's palace, Qian Renxue had been waiting for a long time.

To avoid being discovered by Yu Xiaolie, she specifically asked the two Douluo, the Porcupine and the Serpent Spear, to stay far away.

This man is completely oblivious to my admiration. If he knew that the two titled Douluo, the Porcupine and the Serpent Spear, were hiding in the shadows, he would either leave on the spot or fight me.

"Young Master, isn't this inappropriate?" The Porcupine Douluo lowered his voice, his brows furrowed.

Xue Qinghe waved his hand gently: "I know what I'm doing."

The two titled Douluo exchanged a glance and ultimately retreated to a distance of over a hundred feet.

Since the battle in the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Renxue has paid even more attention to Yu Xiaolie. As her subordinates, they could only worry in secret and choose to obey.

The roses in the garden were in full bloom, and the night breeze carried their delicate fragrance.

Qian Renxue sat on a stone bench, and a pot of tea was already placed on the stone table in front of her.

Tonight, she specially changed into a moon-white robe and even rearranged her hair ornament.

Even though she is now a man, she still wants to take good care of herself.

Now, the thought of how she had actually gone this far made her laugh self-deprecatingly.

When has the young master of the Spirit Hall ever cared about these things?

A sudden gust of night wind lifted the corner of her clothes, and Qian Renxue looked up sharply, only to see a black figure standing at the end of the stone steps of the observatory.

Yu Xiaolie had arrived unnoticed, toying with the token he'd used during the day, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"Your Highness has a refined taste."

Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the teacup in her hand.

When she stood up, Yu Xiaolie was already standing three steps away, the moonlight casting a silvery glow on his deep features.

Today, instead of his usual dark blue robe, he wore a simple black outfit that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making him look like a drawn sword.

"Your Majesty, Dragon God."

Qian Renxue bowed respectfully, her voice rising half an octave higher than usual, "Please sit."

Yu Xiaolie stood with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly.

With his mental strength, he naturally noticed the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo in the distance. However, at this distance, if he wanted to do something, they would never be able to react.

It seems that Qian Renxue sincerely invited him this time, and her attitude was quite proper and earnest.

Yu Xiaolie silently acknowledged Qian Renxue in his heart and sat down directly opposite her.

When they faced each other, Yu Xiaolie noticed that Qian Renxue had made a point of tidying herself up.

Immediately, Yu Xiaolie glanced at the tea and snacks on the stone table, chuckled, and said, "Your Highness invited me here, surely not just for moon-viewing and tea-drinking?"

Qian Renxue paused slightly as she poured the tea.

She then handed the teacup to Yu Xiaolie and said, "This is a special supply of Snow-Topped Emerald Tea for the Heavenly Dou Royal Family. The annual production is no more than fifty catties."

Yu Xiaolie took the teacup, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against her fingers.

In that instant, Qian Renxue felt as if she had been struck by a subtle electric current; her heart suddenly raced, and her cheeks flushed instantly.

She quickly withdrew her hand, using the act of pouring tea to hide the heat on her face—if the people of the Spirit Hall saw her in this girlish manner, they would be astonished.

"Good tea."

Yu Xiaolie picked up the teacup, the warm tea sliding down his throat, but his gaze remained fixed on Qian Renxue's face.

The girl disguised as a prince had shed her crown prince's majesty and now possessed a shyness befitting an ordinary woman, a stark contrast to her composure during the day at Yuexuan.

"However, His Highness the Crown Prince seems to have forgotten the purpose of tonight," Yu Xiaolie reminded him.

A night breeze swept by, scattering a few petals.

Qian Renxue took a deep breath and finally got to the point: "In the past few months, while reviewing memorials, I discovered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's application for business routes..."

She described the anomaly she had discovered in detail, her speech becoming increasingly rapid.

"The strangest thing is that these strategies are very similar to the expansion route of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. Moreover, they always manage to obtain rare medicinal materials before your clan."

She stopped talking after that.

With Yu Xiaolie's intelligence, it's impossible that he couldn't understand the reason behind it.

Yu Xiaolie's eyes sharpened, but in an instant he suddenly laughed and said, "Interesting. However, you are Ning Fengzhi's student, so why are you helping me?"

"I value fairness."

Qian Renxue met his gaze and blurted out, moonlight falling on her eyelashes and casting a light shadow. Then, her eyes darted away and her voice was a little nervous as she said, "Moreover, the expansion of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in recent years has already affected the interests of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family."

This reason sounded plausible, but it couldn't fool Yu Xiaolie's eyes.

He looked at the "eldest prince" in front of him with a half-smile until her face flushed again.

Qian Renxue, somewhat flustered and desperate to cover something up, suddenly stood up and sat down in front of the guqin in the corner of the pavilion: "Is Your Majesty proficient in music?"

Yu Xiaolie was taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "I know a little bit."

Immediately, Yu Xiaolie also got up and sat down next to Qian Renxue. His slender fingers stroked the strings of the zither, and a series of clear and melodious notes flowed out.

The music sometimes sounded like a clear spring, and sometimes like the clanging of swords and the thunder of horses, clear and distinct in the quiet night.

Qian Renxue was stunned. She had never imagined that a battle maniac like Yu Xiaolie could also play the zither. Looking at his focused profile, the collar of his outfit slightly open, revealing his well-defined collarbone, her heart suddenly raced—this man held so many surprises in his heart.

After a long while, the music stopped abruptly.

Qian Renxue came to her senses and found that Yu Xiaolie was staring at her with a deep and unsettling gaze.

"I've made a fool of myself," he said casually.

Qian Renxue hurriedly got up, but accidentally tripped over the stone bench.

Just as she was about to fall, a warm hand steadily supported her waist.

Through the fabric, she could feel the heat from his hand. Although it was a man's body, she still felt unconsciously shy.

She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was already in turmoil.

Moreover, they were so close that she could count each other's eyelashes, and she could even see her own reflection in Yu Xiaolie's pupils.

"Be careful." These two simple words made Qian Renxue's ears burn.

She quickly regained her balance, and in her haste, she bumped into the zither table.

Yu Xiaolie swiftly caught the swaying guqin, and their hands touched again.

This time, it was as if time stood still, and Qian Renxue was completely captivated.

However, before he could fully appreciate it, Yu Xiaolie had already withdrawn his hand and turned to walk deeper into the garden.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing Yu Xiaolie about to leave, Qian Renxue called out to him anxiously. "Your Majesty's musical skills are superb; would you be so kind as to offer me some guidance?"

Qian Renxue was so nervous that her jade-like fingers twisted the hem of her clothes; she was trying to arrange to meet Yu Xiaolie again.

Learning the piano? That's just a random excuse.

Yu Xiaolie smiled slightly and said, "If Your Highness is interested, I can come at any time. It's getting late. Thank you for reminding me of the sect's matter. Farewell."

Qian Renxue stood there, stunned, until the black figure completely disappeared into the night.

She then slowly raised the hand that had just been touched and, as if possessed, brought it to her nose.

The faint scent of tea and Yu Xiaolie's unique pheromones still lingered on her hands.

However, this action startled her, and she quickly lowered her hand, but couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips, revealing a girl's secret joy.

"Little Lord?"

The Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo appeared behind them at some point, looking at their young master with puzzled expressions at her unusual girlish demeanor. They had followed her for many years and had never seen her so shy. How could this be the deep and thoughtful Crown Prince of Tiandou? This was clearly a young girl just beginning to experience love.

Qian Renxue immediately put on a stern face, but couldn't hide her reddened ears: "Return to the palace."

The two titled Douluo exchanged a glance and wisely refrained from asking further questions.

……

late at night.

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Sect.

At this moment, the entire sect was eerily quiet.

Yu Xiaolie stood atop the back mountain peak, looking down at the sleeping sect.

"Sect Master, the person has arrived." A disciple's voice sounded from behind.

Yu Xiaolie didn't turn his head: "Mm."

Soon, Yu Xiaozhen and Yu Xiaoting arrived quickly, both looking exhausted, clearly having just woken up from a deep sleep.

"Brother, what happened?" Yu Xiaozhen asked, rubbing his temples.

Instead of answering directly, Yu Xiaolie posed a question: "Have you noticed that the sect's growth rate has slowed down recently?"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yu Xiaoting scratched his head: "I do have that feeling... Last Wednesday, Elder San complained that the supply of refined iron was insufficient, which delayed the forging progress."

“Yes, the caravan reported that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School always manages to buy up medicinal herbs first,” Yu Xiaozhen added. “I thought they were just lucky…”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolie's eyes suddenly turned cold, but judging from their reactions, they were clearly completely unaware of the situation.

Yu Xiaolie was quite at ease with his two brothers, having witnessed their dedication to sect affairs over the past period.

Therefore, the only possibility is...

After a moment's thought, Yu Xiaolie slowly walked up to Yu Xiaozhen and Yu Xiaoting, his voice extremely low: "Did you know that you're keeping a ghost in your house?"

"what?"

Yu Xiaozhen cried out, then immediately fell silent and looked around.

Only after confirming that no one was there did I feel relieved.

Yu Xiaoting's face turned deathly pale: "Big brother means... there's a traitor among us?"

Yu Xiaolie narrowed his eyes, his face showing anger, and scolded, "You didn't even know you were raising a ghost!"

The two younger brothers immediately clasped their hands in greeting and bowed to accept their punishment, but all they heard was Yu Xiaolie's fierce remark:

"check."

A single, simple word caused the already extremely low temperature at the mountain peak to drop even further at night.

"Find him and cripple him."
