Kapitel 310: Chapter 310: Meeting Qian Renxue, Seeing Through Her Disguise, and an Exquisite Beauty

Unintentionally, Su Ming had kept Qian Renxue waiting for over a month. Despite her poised and courteous demeanor as the crown prince, he couldn't help but wonder if even she might be slightly irritated.

Thinking of this, Su Ming couldn't suppress a mischievous smile. Well, he'd find out tomorrow.

Su Ming recalled that in his previous life, online polls often ranked Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue as the most popular characters, widely considered the most beautiful. He was genuinely curious to see if his Fire-Eye True Vision could see through her disguise.

Not long after Su Ming's group returned to the academy, "Xue Qinghe" received news of their arrival. With a polite expression, he instructed the guard, "If Su Ming comes to see me tomorrow, do not obstruct him. Escort him to my chamber."

The guard bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"

As the guard left, Xue Qinghe's mild expression turned dark. How bold! Making the crown prince wait for over a month! Although he could understand the delay due to the unpredictability of a spirit beast hunt, it still felt infuriating. Su Ming's intermittent diary entries aside, it had been nearly four months since Xue Qinghe had arrived in Heaven Dou City, and he had yet to meet him. Such wasted time!

Meanwhile, Su Ming didn't bother with anything else upon returning to his dorm. He had a quick meal and went straight to bed, feeling oddly exhausted even though his spirit power and mental strength were at full capacity. He decided he'd visit "Xue Qinghe" tomorrow and end the delay.

The next morning, Su Ming rose early, deciding to train a bit before heading over close to noon. After all, Xue Qinghe had mentioned a banquet, and it would be rude to arrive too early.

Outside the palace gate, Su Ming greeted the guards politely. "Hello, please inform His Highness that Su Ming is here as arranged."

Upon hearing Su Ming's name, the guard immediately perked up and responded respectfully, "Sir Su Ming, His Highness has instructed us to bring you directly to his chamber."

At the entrance of the prince's chamber, the guard went inside to announce, "Your Highness, Sir Su Ming has arrived."

Xue Qinghe kept his composure but was inwardly thrilled. Finally, he'd come!

"Very well, you may go. Also, instruct the royal chef to prepare a lavish meal. I am entertaining a gifted guest today."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Soon, Xue Qinghe stepped out of his chamber to meet Su Ming face-to-face for the first time. He had to admit, Su Ming was indeed quite handsome, though Xue Qinghe still believed himself slightly better looking.

"You must be Su Ming? I've been waiting quite a while for this meeting. Now that you're here, allow me to formally apologize on behalf of Xue Beng for his past rudeness."

As soon as Su Ming saw "Xue Qinghe," his Fire-Eye True Vision automatically activated, and a glint of gold flashed in his eyes as he focused intently on him.

"Xue Qinghe" noticed the unusual light in Su Ming's eyes and began to suspect that Su Ming's True Vision might have activated. Was his disguise about to be exposed?

For a moment, Su Ming was transfixed. Qian Renxue indeed lived up to her reputation as one of the most beautiful characters in the series. She had flawless proportions and an exquisite face.

But recalling her tragic fate, he couldn't help feeling frustrated. Much of what happened to her was her own doing—a case of poor choices and a tragically misguided love.

Perhaps I'll subtly advise her, he thought. If this were the real Xue Qinghe, he wouldn't care about any entanglements with Xue Beng or Tang San, but since this was Qian Renxue…

"Su Ming, why are you standing there staring at me? Don't tell me you have… an unusual preference? I should warn you—I don't have that kind of interest," Xue Qinghe said with a polite smile.

Su Ming felt utterly speechless at this. She's clearly a woman, he thought, keeping his True Vision active to observe her true face. Hearing her say she wasn't interested in men amused him to no end.

He replied, "Your Highness, you are indeed strikingly handsome. I was simply momentarily captivated. But as for 'unusual preferences,' well, that might be a stretch. Although, you should know, I do have some lovely ladies by my side, so let's just say I'm versatile."

Qian Renxue was stunned. Was Su Ming hinting at something? Given her male disguise, his comment about "being versatile" implied that he might even be attracted to her disguised form. A chill ran through her.

Su Ming then decided to close his True Vision. Continuing to view her as a woman in her male disguise made him feel strange.

Seeing his reaction, Qian Renxue realized that her disguise had been seen through. That Fire-Eye True Vision is impressive; it even saw through the spirit bone skill that gives me this near-perfect disguise.

"Your Highness, why are you staring at me now?" Su Ming asked in return.

Qian Renxue bit back her irritation. Su Ming had been staring at her first, but as a man, she couldn't exactly scold him for it—whereas if she'd been in her true female form, it would have been a different matter.

She composed herself and maintained her royal demeanor. "It's nothing. I just thought, Su Ming, you're quite a handsome young man yourself. No wonder so many women are taken with you. Well, let's go inside; we'll continue our conversation there."

Inside the prince's chamber, Su Ming looked around and noticed the sparse, masculine decor, largely office furnishings with little to no personal touches. It felt entirely suited to a man, and entirely lacking the warmth one might expect in a young woman's quarters.

Then again, Qian Renxue was playing the role of Xue Qinghe. Su Ming simply found himself feeling somewhat wistful.
