Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 202 Qian Renxue: Is this something I can see?

"Phew, we're almost there."

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the town, three veiled figures appeared.

One of the men sighed, immediately drawing a glare from the leader.

The man shrank back and said awkwardly:

"Don't worry, Lao Zhang has already disguised himself as you and is touring the country. No one will recognize you. Besides, we're almost in our territory."

The leader, Qian Renxue, said in a deep voice:

"We must not be careless."

After receiving Bibi Dong's orders, she used the pretext of inspecting the whole country to send her confidant to impersonate Xue Qinghe, while she herself slipped away and headed towards the Spirit Hall with two confidants.

Her years in politics had instilled in her a meticulous nature, and even though she was close to the Spirit Hall, she couldn't afford to be careless.

Another confidant laughed:

"Are you worried about Lao Zhang? This isn't the first time he's impersonated Xue Qinghe, so don't worry. In my opinion, we've been traveling for two days and two nights already, so why don't we rest in this small town for the night? It'll be dawn in a few hours anyway."

Qian Renxue nodded, tacitly agreeing to their suggestion.

The three walked towards the hotel. After being woken up by Bai Yu and Hu Liena, the man at the front desk lost his will to sleep and was reading a comic book by the dim light of a kerosene lamp.

As he was engrossed in watching, there was a knock on the front desk. The man looked up following the pair of clean, white hands and saw three people wearing veils. He immediately tensed up.

"Are you three staying at the hotel?"

It's no wonder he was nervous; anyone would be startled to see three guys who looked like bandits in the middle of the night.

"Check in, three rooms, and please prepare three basins of hot water."

The man shakily accepted the money, watched the three people go upstairs, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The young couple from before seemed more friendly.

Qian Renxue entered the room. Although it was much simpler than her royal palace, she was not a picky person and quickly sat on the edge of the bed, closing her eyes to rest.

However, she could vaguely hear strange sounds, which were familiar to Qian Renxue.

She had witnessed too many strange things in the court. The nobles, who were high and mighty in the eyes of ordinary people, were like pigs. She once saw a viscount give his wife to an earl, and then turn around and rape a baron's wife. This was a common thing among the nobles.

Having been exposed to such sordid affairs in the palace for a long time, she had become much more accepting of them. However, the problem was that the hotel was not well soundproofed. If the noise was still going on when she went to sleep, she would have to take some measures.

Soon, hot water was brought over. She quickly wiped herself down and was about to go to sleep when she noticed the sound was still going on.

Unable to bear it any longer, she walked out of her room and knocked on the door of the room next door.

However, no one opened the door.

Qian Renxue thought so too. There was probably a young couple inside, doing *that*, so they wouldn't have time to open the door.

So she waited patiently, knocking on the door several times every half minute, mainly to annoy them to death.

About three minutes later, the door was opened, and Qian Renxue said in a deep voice:

"Please keep your voices down, you're disturbing the neighbors' rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the face of the person who opened the door and froze.

Isn't that Bai Yu??

Bai Yu glanced at her veil and nodded:

"Excuse me."

After saying that, Bai Yu slammed the door shut, leaving Qian Renxue looking completely bewildered.

When Bai Yu wore the Xue Qinghe vest, she gave him a token, hoping he would work for her. However, Bai Yu was smart and chose to observe. In order to recruit talent, she didn't mind.

But she never expected to run into Bai Yu here, and Bai Yu seemed to be...

Qian Renxue immediately lost her composure, feeling as if the man was cheating on her.

Although Bai Yu is not her man, nor can he be considered her subordinate, his long-term role as the crown prince and his involvement in numerous illicit affairs have instilled in her a protective instinct towards anyone she can recruit.

Simply put, it means treating those you can win over as your own people; that's how you win people's hearts.

Now, she discovered that Bai Yu was cheating on her, and she immediately felt betrayed. So she decided to secretly watch and see who Bai Yu was with.

She returned to her room, climbed out of the window, and barely managed to get a foothold on the narrow railing outside, quietly moving to the window next door.

She peeked into the room and was immediately taken aback.

Hu Liena?

How could it be her?

How could she be with Bai Yu?

Does Bibi Dong know this?

Do Xie Yue and Yan know this?

Do you know about the other Title Douluos in the Spirit Hall?

Qian Renxue dared not make a sound and quietly slipped back into her room.

She couldn't sleep anymore and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about everything.

"How did Bai Yu end up with Hu Liena? Wasn't Hu Liena always in the Spirit Hall? Did Bai Yu join the Spirit Hall?"

"But if he joins the Spirit Hall, why would they be doing that in this small town? The conditions here are far worse than in the Spirit Hall."

"Could it be that they're out on a mission?"

Qian Renxue couldn't help but ponder the most crucial question: Had Bai Yu defected to the Spirit Hall?

Or rather, did Bai Yu side with the Spirit Hall or Bibi Dong?

The former refers to the force led by her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, whom she only recognizes as a relative.

The latter goes without saying. Although Qian Daoliu had always wanted to ease the tension between Bibi Dong and her, she knew that Bibi Dong had great ambitions. She wanted to control the Spirit Hall, then control the two great empires, and thus unify the Douluo Continent.

At that time, where she and her grandfather Qian Daoliu would go would depend entirely on her wishes!

The reason why she hasn't fallen out with Bibi Dong yet is simply because Qian Renxue is too weak, Qian Daoliu doesn't support her, and she still harbors illusions about Bibi Dong.

Although Qian Renxue pretended to be on the same side as Bibi Dong, she was always wary of Bibi Dong.

The problem is that Bibi Dong is now the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and to a large extent, she represents the Spirit Hall.

However, Qian Daoliu is also an important member of the Spirit Hall. She wants to strengthen the Spirit Hall, but she doesn't want Bibi Dong to control the power. So she is conflicted, which is why she wants to develop her own power so that she can compete with Bibi Dong in the future.

As Bai Yu was the most talented peer she had ever met, she naturally wanted to recruit him. However, if he joined the Spirit Hall and sided with Bibi Dong, she would have to carefully consider the environment within the Spirit Hall and her own future.

So Qian Renxue quickly woke up her two trusted confidants, ignoring their complaints, and said in a deep voice:

"We must leave immediately; it's important."

Upon hearing this, the two trusted confidants dared not delay, and the three of them immediately left the inn and headed towards the Spirit Hall.

At this moment, Bai Yu, who was leaning against the window, watched the three figures leave, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He then turned around and said to Hu Liena, who was lying on the bed:

"I have to leave tomorrow. There are still many important things waiting for me at the academy. Can you come back with me?"

Exhausted, Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

Bai Yu sighed and said:

"In that case, if you miss me in the future, just come to Xingyu Academy to find me. I will always be waiting for you."
