Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

All he needs to do now is try his best to make this happen.

"No, no, no, of course not. How could you say that, Mr. Dugu?"

"In that case, I will arrange for someone to escort this young friend to the palace."

"It's currently the preliminary stage of the Soul Master Competition, and he'll most likely be in his palace."

“I can use my own name to send this young friend to the palace, and then let him go to see Xue Qinghe.”

Upon hearing Dugu Bo say those words, Xue Xing immediately panicked.

At this crucial stage, without Dugu Bo, his elder brother would be completely beyond saving.

"Somebody come!"

Without hesitation, Xuexing shouted towards the door.

Soon, two neatly dressed knights walked in through the door. They bowed respectfully to Xue Xing and then awaited orders.

"You two take my token now and bring this young friend into the palace. Tell him I have important business to discuss with Xue Qinghe."

"do you understand?"

As she spoke, Xuexing took out a token from her waist and tossed it to one of the knights.

"understand!"

Seeing this, Gu Yi nodded to Dugu Bo, and then followed the two knights to hurry towards the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

It's said to be following, but it's actually ancient.

Yi led them, after all, running is no match for flying.

Gu Yi grabbed one in each hand, and they pointed out the way while Gu Yi was in charge of speed. In just a few minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

"Everyone knows his name!"

At the palace gate, fully armed soldiers surrounded the area, their weapons crossed, blocking the path of Gu Yi and his companions.

"Prince Xuexing has ordered that we have urgent business with His Highness the Third Prince. Why are you not allowing us to pass immediately?"

The knight beside Gu Yi immediately pulled out Xue Xing's token and shouted loudly.

"Let go!"

Seeing that it was a prince's token, the soldiers dared not stop them and made way for Gu Yi and his companions.

"Young master, this way."

"Your Highness's palace is not far from here, it is the third palace on the right."

After entering the palace, Gu Yi, led by two knights, quickly arrived at Qian Renxue's location.

"Hmm? Who are you people? What brings you here?"

In front of Qian Renxue's palace stood two robust old men. They looked extraordinary and exuded an imposing aura, which startled Gu Yi.

"We are Prince Xuexing's men. We have important business to discuss with Your Highness. Please inform him of our presence."

As he spoke, the knight took out Snow Star's token again and showed it to the two old men.

"Hmm? Someone from Xuexing?"

The two old men looked at the token in the knight's hand, and were somewhat puzzled.

Xue Xing has always been at odds with his young master, so why has he changed his mind today?

Thinking it over, the two old men exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

"You all wait here, I'll go in and tell them."

As he spoke, one of the old men slowly walked into the palace.

The remaining person kept scrutinizing Gu Yi and his companions, as if deep in thought.

For some reason, he felt that Gu Yi looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

'These two must be the Title Douluo bodyguards that the Spirit Hall arranged for Qian Renxue.'

'Hmm, he seems pretty clueless. If the negotiations fall through, it shouldn't affect me much, right?'

Gu Yi didn't bring Gu Rong and Zhu Zhuqing with him to prevent such an accident from happening. If he brought people with him, it would be difficult for him to get away.

"Alright, let's go in. Your Highness happens to be free now."

A short while later, the old man from before came out, waved to Gu Yi, and indicated that he could go in.

Seeing this, Gu Yi didn't hesitate and strode into the doorway.

Soon, after Gu Yi arrived in the hall, that familiar figure appeared in front of him again.

However, Qian Renxue was somewhat stunned the moment Gu Yi appeared.

"Gu Yi? What happened to you?"

She thought it was her royal uncle who had finally come to his senses, but unexpectedly, someone else came along.

"It seems Your Highness still remembers me. Yes, it is I, Gu Yi."

"Your Highness, how have you been?"

Seeing that Qian Renxue was somewhat startled, Gu Yi smiled and greeted her.

"Hmph, hehe, I should be the one greeting you with that."

"I heard you joined the Spirit Hall? How did you get involved with my royal uncle again?"

"What do you want from me?"

Qian Renxue forcibly calmed her emotions and resumed her previous superior demeanor, questioning her as if interrogating her.

"Does joining the Spirit Hall mean I can no longer have contact with His Highness the Prince?"

"If that's the case, then how can you, as the daughter of the Pope, become the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Gu Yi maintained a faint smile on his face and asked in return.

"Huh?" Qian Renxue frowned. "What are you saying? I don't understand."

"Heh!" Gu Yi chuckled lightly. "Don't you understand?"

"Pope Bibi Dong had a daughter who was sent to the Tian Dou royal family at the age of nine to serve as a maid to Xue Qinghe."

"The maid was beautiful and intelligent, and had a very good relationship with Xue Qinghe, but for some reason, she suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago."

"From this point onward, the second and third princes of the royal family passed away one after another. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

"I don't think I need to say anything more about the rest, do I?"

"Tell me, should I call you Xue Qinghe, or should I call you Qian Renxue?"

Chapter 103 Secret

"who are you?"

How did you know all this?

Qian Renxue gripped the armrests tightly with both hands, forcibly controlling her emotions, and asked.

She knew Gu Yi somewhat; he had just been born when she infiltrated the palace. How did he know such a secret?

"We're both smart people, so there's no need to ask this question anymore. I won't tell you."

"Let's talk about the current situation first."

"For example, how long do you plan to take to kill Xueye? After you kill him, how will you deal with the forces in this city?"

Gu Yi casually sat down on a chair in the hall and asked with a smile.

"Don't we need to ask?"

“I do think it’s necessary. Besides, now that you’re here, do you think you can leave without telling the truth?”

"Don't think that your grandfather's status in the Spirit Hall can have any influence on me. In my eyes, you're just a stupid kid."

How could Qian Renxue possibly reveal her plans to a man she had only met once, a man full of secrets?

In her mind, Gu Yi had basically been sentenced to death. If Gu Yi continued to be uncooperative, she would definitely kill him first!

"Since I dared to come here, I naturally have a way to get out of here."

"Your only support now is those two Title Douluos at the gate. Do you think they can stop me?"

Gu Yi calmly met Qian Renxue's gaze, his words filled with indifference and disdain.

"..."

Qian Renxue fell silent. Looking at Gu Yi's leisurely expression and pondering what he had just said, she was momentarily unsure.

Now, in her eyes, Gu Yi is a ticking time bomb that might explode at any moment.

The key point is that she still doesn't understand what Gu Yi's purpose is.

He just kept asking her questions, but never said anything about what he actually wanted to do.

"Alright, Qian Renxue, I don't know what you're worried about."

“I have now severed ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, killed the second prince of the Star Luo Empire, and joined the Spirit Hall.”

"From the perspective of factions alone, we should be on the same side, so why are you so wary of me?"

"If I were on the side of the Heaven Dou royal family, why wouldn't I just tell Xue Ye your secret?"

"I'm talking to you here now because I want to know your purpose and actions, and see if we can still cooperate."

"Believe me, you need my help."

Faced with Qian Renxue's silence, Gu Yi seemed a little anxious. He gave Qian Renxue a complete analysis of the current situation, hoping that she could understand.

"Cooperation? Help?"

"I don't need cooperation. As long as you don't bother me, I will definitely be able to take over the Heaven Dou Empire within a year."

"As for the so-called help, that's even more absurd. I'm doing very well right now, so why would I need any help?"

Qian Renxue sneered.
