"Don't even mention it. I feel a bit embarrassed in front of you now," Qian Renxue sighed helplessly.

"Actually, it's not your fault. If I weren't an orphan, if I had a titled Douluo grandfather, a huge power behind me, and even unparalleled cultivation talent, I think I might have become the same as you."

After comparing himself to Qian Renxue, Duan Yufan probably realized that since he didn't have memories of his past life, anyone born and raised in Douluo Continent would have developed the same personality as Qian Renxue.

"That's why I said that meeting you changed my life. You poured cold water on my growth. If I hadn't met you earlier and hadn't maintained my previous mindset, I think I would have encountered a huge calamity in my future life."

Qian Renxue acknowledged her shortcomings, as if she had a premonition of something, and reflected on her actions to Duan Yufan.

After Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue came out, they talked to each other all the way, getting to know each other better. Their feelings for each other were also growing stronger without them realizing it, and their martial spirits were drawing them closer together.

Moreover, they completely forgot that Ghost Leopard Douluo was following behind them. Ghost Leopard Douluo wisely stayed at a distance like a shadow, following slowly.

Because Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue were still walking and chatting leisurely with their arms crossed like a couple, passersby thought they were an old married couple.

"Hmm! It seems to be Avalanche and Snowstar. Why are they acting so suspiciously?"

As Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue passed by a couple, one old and one young, Qian Renxue said something strange, considering it was already 9 p.m.

In Qian Renxue's memory, these two usually wouldn't come out late at night. Even if they did, Xue Xing would bring guards, and Xue Beng would bring a few lackeys. But now, Qian Renxue only saw the two of them, and they were being somewhat secretive.

"Hmm! Is that strange?" Duan Yufan asked, puzzled, looking at Qian Renxue who seemed somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, that's strange. I feel like something's up with those two. Luckily, I'm not Xue Qinghe right now. Let's follow them and see what they're up to," Qian Renxue said, very curious.

"Alright then, let's go." Duan Yufan glanced at Qian Renxue. It seemed that Xue Beng's portrayal of a spoiled brat was indeed quite good, able to fool the clever and quick-witted Qian Renxue.

Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue maintained their couple appearance and followed Xue Xing and Xue Beng. No one would suspect anything; they would simply be seen as a pair of lovelorn lovers.

However, when Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue turned around, they saw Ghost Leopard Douluo following behind them.

"Uh, Elder Ghost Leopard, I'm sorry, I completely forgot about you after we came out," Duan Yu Fan said in surprise.

"It's nothing," Ghost Leopard Douluo said calmly.

"Elder Ghost Leopard, why don't you go back to the hotel first? She and I have things to do, so you don't need to protect us. You've seen our strength." Duan Yu Fan told Ghost Leopard Douluo to go back to the hotel first.

"Hmm." Ghost Leopard Douluo had no objection and headed back to the Heavenly Dou Hotel.

Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue continued to follow Xue Xing and her nephew.

After turning two street corners, Xuexing and Xuebeng walked into a house with neon lights hanging everywhere. A group of women were calling out to customers at the entrance.

"Hey bro, come on in and have some fun." Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue weren't far away, so they heard it too.

"Um, should we go in after them?"

Duan Yufan already knew where he was; it was the brothel that people in Douluo Continent called.

"Follow, why not?" Qian Renxue said, still unwilling to give up.

“But you’re a girl,” Duan Yufan said awkwardly.

"Isn't it you who's here? I have a plan. Come on, let's go in, otherwise we won't know which room they'll be in later."

Qian Renxue continued to pull Duan Yufan to the entrance of the brothel.

"Hey, young lady, why did you bring your man here?" A woman dressed in a flamboyant manner stopped Qian Renxue and Duan Yufan.

Other women hawking their wares also gathered around, curiously watching Duan Yufan and his companion.

"Oh dear ladies, my husband is always chasing after women. They say homegrown flowers are never as fragrant as wild ones. I really have no choice but to bring him here. I'll let him have some fun for one night, and once he's tired of it, he'll stay home for days," Qian Renxue explained pitifully to everyone.

Duan Yufan broke out in a cold sweat, inwardly cursing, "So this is your method? Slander! She slandered me!"

"Of course, you're like a dead person at home, you don't even know how to serve your own man, unlike these older sisters who know how to serve men very well. It's perfect that you're here now, you can learn from these older sisters how to serve men. Maybe if they serve me well, I won't go out looking for other women."

However, Duan Yufan still cooperated with Qian Renxue's words, looking like a scumbag and giving her a very punchable expression.

"Really? Then I'll have to learn properly," Qian Renxue said with great surprise.

"Sir, although our techniques are quite good and we know some bedroom tricks, I'm afraid we don't have a girl as pretty and beautiful as this young lady. I'm afraid you won't be interested."

The woman who had grabbed Qian Renxue spoke to Duan Yufan with some displeasure, clearly disgusted by his behavior.

"It's fine, as long as her technique is better than mine, I'm here to enjoy myself, not to look at flowers. Why do I need someone so pretty?" Duan Yufan said nonchalantly.

"Sister, please let us in. I can't persuade you, sob sob, my life is so miserable." Qian Renxue said helplessly and with a sob in her voice.

"Hey, sis, you've gone too far. I almost believed it myself. It's like I actually did it." Duan Yufan was sweating profusely.

"Alright, alright, you two go in. Sigh, men are really unreliable. Young lady, once you're inside, you can decide which man to give to you." The older sister, who had pulled the two women aside, sighed with disappointment towards Qian Renxue.

"Really? Thank you, sister," Qian Renxue said gratefully.

Duan Yufan, not to be idle either, acted as if he couldn't wait and stepped through the gate first.

"Wait for me," Qian Renxue quickly caught up and said with concern.

"Hmph, what kind of person is he? With such a beautiful young wife, he still goes out to play. This girl is really pretty, even our courtesan can't compare."

"Forget it, let's do our own thing. These nobles really know how to have fun."

The group of people shouting were indignant about what had happened to Qian Renxue.

Upon entering the lobby, Qian Renxue noticed that Xue Xing and Xue Beng were no longer there. She spoke softly.

"Have you seen them?"

“I know. They’re on the third floor. My mental energy has been locking onto them. Let’s go,” Duan Yufan reassured Qian Renxue.

"Yeah, but don't listen to anything I say, or I'll tell your senior sister," Qian Renxue joked.

"..." What could Duan Yufan say? His mental energy was locked onto the other person, making it difficult for them not to hear.

There are staircases on both sides of the main entrance leading up to the third floor, where you enter the room next to Xuexing and his nephew.

"I can't hear anything. The room is well soundproofed," Duan Yufan said, raising an eyebrow.

"Then we can only release a little of our soul power to eavesdrop on their conversation."

Then Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue pressed their ears against the wall, and with the increase in their soul power, they were able to hear the conversation next door.

"Uncle, it seems like it won't work. I can't win over Dugu Bo's granddaughter."

"Don't rush. As Dugu Bo's granddaughter, it's inevitable that she's a little proud. You should pursue her slowly."

"Sigh, I think it's difficult. Yu Tianheng in the academy has been pursuing Dugu Yan for several years, but it seems to have no effect at all. Every time she rejects Yu Tianheng, she says that she has someone she likes."

"There's no other way. If you can get the support of a Title Douluo, then you'll have a voice in front of your father, and you won't have to pretend to be a spoiled brat anymore."

"Xue Qinghe has more and more supporters around him. You need to hurry up. If Xue Qinghe really becomes emperor, all your years of pretense and survival will be in vain."

"Xue Qinghe, why are you so outstanding? You're practically perfect, which makes Father Emperor trust you more and more."

“Avalanche, Xue Qinghe is indeed perfect and impeccable. If I hadn’t found some clues, I would also want to support Xue Qinghe. When your other brothers had accidents back then, I was sure it was Xue Qinghe who did it. That’s why I’ve been making you pretend to be crazy. Otherwise, you might have suffered the same fate.”

"What you need to do now is to calm down and play your role as a spoiled brat well. When you seize the opportunity to take over the position of the Crown Prince one day, your current task is to continue to gain Dugu Yan's approval. Only then will Dugu Bo fully support you."

"Uncle, I understand. Once I ascend the throne, I will make Xue Qinghe pay a thousandfold."

Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue listened to Xue Xing and Xue Beng's conversation without missing a single word. Duan Yufan was fine, but Qian Renxue found it hard to believe.

"I didn't expect that Avalanche had been playing the role of a spoiled brat all along, even fooling me. As expected, none of them are simple; they've hidden themselves so well," Qian Renxue said with some surprise.

"So what do you plan to do? Just find an opportunity to eliminate her?" Duan Yufan asked Qian Renxue.

“It’s too late now. There’s no chance to make a move, and Xue Xing will definitely be watching Xue Beng. Obviously, Xue Xing already suspects that I killed the other princes. We still have to wait for an opportunity,” Qian Renxue said softly.

"In that case, let's go back first. Anyway, you already know what to do."

"Well, let's go back first. We'll just have to keep it for now."

"Don't go out the main door, let's go through the window," Duan Yufan reminded him.

"Ah."

Duan Yufan and Qian Renxue opened the window and flew out, landing on the ground. Fortunately, it was too late, and there was no one behind the house, so no one noticed.

Chapter 129 Crushing the Avalanche

Walking back to the hotel side by side, Qian Renxue was once again deeply impressed by the avalanche's camouflage.

"I originally thought that the avalanche had given up on itself, so I let it go this time. I didn't expect that I was actually fooled by it. I also discovered this secret by accident."

"Moreover, Xuexing seems to have noticed your abnormality. If you assassinate Xuebeng again, you might be exposed. After you kill Xuebeng, Xuexing will expose you, and the result is predictable. Xuexing will probably become emperor herself and reap the benefits. The most ruthless are those in the imperial family. I don't believe Xuexing doesn't have this idea."

Duan Yufan solemnly reminded Qian Renxue that the struggles within the royal family are the same everywhere.

"Yes, that is indeed possible. If Xue Ye has no descendants, he can only pass the throne to his younger brother. People's hearts are not what they used to be. Xue Xing has great ambitions."

After Duan Yufan said that, Qian Renxue thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed possible.

"Don't think about it anymore. If we are really exposed, we will have no choice but to use our absolute strength to seize it. Let's go back and rest. I'm really tired. I've been traveling by carriage for two days."

Seeing Qian Renxue deep in thought, Duan Yufan interrupted her and said...

“That’s true. If a conspiracy doesn’t work, we can always try a public one.” Qian Renxue said, relieved, no longer dwelling on Xue Xing and Xue Beng.

Not long after they returned to the Tiandou Hotel, Qian Renxue immediately made another joke.

"You really don't need me to come with you."

"No, I'm going to sleep."

Duan Yufan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Regardless of Qian Renxue's occasional neurotic outbursts, he went back to his room and fell asleep immediately.

The next day, Duan Yufan woke up when the warm sunlight shone through the window. He had slept until he naturally woke up, so it was around 10 a.m.

Duan Yufan stretched, walked to the window, and lifted the curtains to look at the sunny weather and the bustling streets.

After washing up, he left the room. As if hearing the noise, Qian Renxue opened the door after Duan Yufan closed it.

"The Holy Son, the lazybones, is up! I'm so envious. He can sleep until he naturally wakes up," Qian Renxue teased.

"Hmm, not bad. Drink when you're supposed to drink, sleep when you're supposed to sleep, that's my motto." Duan Yufan shrugged, completely unconcerned about Qian Renxue's teasing.

"Alright, alright, do you want me to show you around Tian Dou City?" Qian Renxue stopped arguing with Duan Yufan.

"Great! We have one more day. Are there any fun places to visit? Show me the way."

After having some breakfast at the hotel, Qian Renxue led Duan Yufan to a crowded pedestrian street.

"How about it, isn't it lively? There are all sorts of unique trinkets and snacks here, and most of the people from outside the city gather here."
