Capítulo 324: Chapter 322: How am I, Xu Ran, Not a Good Person?_1

```

"Is there really none left?" Xu Ran asked teasingly as he looked Liu Erlong up and down, quite enchanted by the air she exuded that made one reluctant to part with her.

Perhaps this was the unique charm inherent in women of her age, refreshing for Xu Ran.

Now Xu Ran somewhat understood those crazed aunt-chasers from his previous life.

One couldn't blame their wild ways, they were simply... too captivating.

"Erlong's life belongs to my husband, and I will faithfully serve my husband for a lifetime, never overstepping my bounds," Liu Erlong said to Xu Ran with a slight bow, expressing her grievances.

Her enticing demeanor was tinged with a pitiable innocence, incredibly moving, so much so that Xu Ran momentarily couldn't bear to tease her.

"All right, let's drop it. You are my treasure too," Xu Ran said, then embraced Liu Erlong tightly, playfully fondled her for a while, sent her back to the academy, and made his way to the Crown Prince's Mansion.

According to System's arranged schedule, Tang San was probably about to set off to boast about his hidden weapons at the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. Tomorrow he planned to set out for the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect himself, and then he would take great pleasure in toying with him.

Did he think to steal his beloved Rongrong? Was he kidding?

Following the original plot, after Tang San revealed his Twin Martial Souls and his talent with hidden weapons, Ning Fengzhi indeed considered betrothing Ning Rongrong to him, and at that time, Rongrong herself entertained the idea because Tang San helped her enhance her Martial Soul.

Unfortunately, at that time, Tang San was still a blockhead.

As for now, well,

Tang San might as well wash up and go to sleep.

Xu Ran's perks far outstripped Tang San's. Tang San used cheats to show off as a genius in Soul Land, now isn't it fine for Xu Ran to recklessly kill with his cheats in Soul Land?

Both are using cheats, Tang San can't blame him for playing unfairly.

After all, he came to Soul Land with cheats to bully the indigenous folks.

"Moreover, after completing the Mission, I will also master hidden weapons, even more so than Tang San. If Tang San witnessed that, wouldn't he be dumbfounded on the spot?"

"By then I could also falsely accuse Tang San, and where his hidden weapon blueprints came from will be put into question."

Xu Ran revealed a smile, now he could hardly wait.

If he produced hidden weapons far superior to Tang San's on a whim, Tang San would be totally dumbfounded. At that point, Ning Fengzhi and the others would only believe Tang San had stolen his creations.

After all, as a plain and entirely unremarkable person, how could Tang San possibly be so talented to possess such exquisite hidden weapons?

And the other, as an unparalleled genius, a great sage rarely seen in the world. Wouldn't it be unsurprising for Xu Ran to be slightly extraordinary and know a thing or two about hidden weapons?

Not surprising at all.

But Tang San's so-called hidden weapons were already stolen. Stealing the Tang Sect's secret techniques and Tang Sect's Secret Skills, then leaping off a cliff to feign righteousness. What a joke! Jumping off a cliff to prove his innocence, wasn't he just forced to the edge by Tang Sect's Elders, without any other option, fearing that being caught would lead to a fate worse than death?

All these theatrics... aren't they exhausting to keep up?

...

At the Crown Prince's Mansion.

In the room, aside from Qian Renxue acting as Xue Qinghe, there was another stunning young girl.

With a graceful figure, she wore a noble imperial dress and a phoenix crown, her sparkling eyes imbued with a touch of noble air.

Princess Xue Ke, the daughter of Emperor Xue Ye, shared a close relationship with Xue Qinghe. Even though Qian Renxue was only impersonating Xue Qinghe, her relationship with Princess Xue Ke remained good.

```

"Imperial Brother, must I really be married off? But I do not wish to marry. Besides, the Xingluo Empire is so far away, could you bear to part with me?" Xue Ke rubbed Qian Renxue's shoulders from behind.

It must be said that Qian Renxue's ability to conceal her identity was indeed strong. Apart from Xu Ran, the old hand in romantic affairs, who also knew the original work and was aware of Qian Renxue's true identity, no one else could see anything unusual about her.

"No, you have no say in this matter."

"Moreover, the specific details are still being discussed by Father Emperor and me, and we have not yet decided whether you will be sent there or not."

Qian Renxue shook her head and glanced at the somewhat naïve Xue Ke. Sooner or later the Sky Dou Imperial Family would change dynasties, and when Martial Soul Hall took over the Tiandou Empire, Xue Ke wouldn't be able to leave even if she wanted to. Qian Renxue's plan to marry Xue Ke off to the Xingluo Empire was also to save her life.

Even though Qian Renxue could be ruthless, she was still a woman, and faced with Xue Ke's affection towards her, always calling her "Brother," she found it difficult to be heartless.

"Then, couldn't you send someone else? I do not wish to leave you all, and I do not want to go to such a distant place," Xue Ke sweetly rocked Qian Renxue's shoulders, batting her beautiful eyes and speaking with a haughty tone.

"We'll discuss it when the time comes. If we really need to form an alliance through marriage, you are the best candidate. Choosing someone else would not be as proper should you marry the Crown Prince of the Xingluo Empire," Qian Renxue said, the image of Xu Ran surfacing in her mind. That shameless wretch Xu Ran had even wanted to see her, his sister, the last time.

Should he actually get to see her, with his audacious nature, who knows what might happen.

Seeing that Qian Renxue was reluctant to give ground, as if she still intended to marry her off, Xue Ke said no more.

For the time being, she had no notion of romance, and although she did not wish to marry early, as a member of the royal household, she had no say over her own marriage, and marrying a prince from another nation was already a good outcome.

"Imperial Brother, what about that Marquis of Destiny from the Xingluo Empire?" Xue Ke looked around, eager to meet the legendary Marquis from the Xingluo Empire, the main reason for her visit.

As a princess, she was well-informed about the affairs of the two empires. She was one of the first to learn of the emergence of a young genius like Xu Ran in the Xingluo Empire. Back then, she had been full of admiration and had longed to meet this talented youth.

Since ancient times, beauties have cherished heroes.

She knew she had no control over her marital fate, but that did not prevent her from dreaming of being together with a supreme talent like Xu Ran, to "Wander the Ends of the Earth" and live happily with him.

She was even beginning to accept the idea of marriage to the Crown Prince of the Xingluo Empire. Because Marquis of Destiny Xu Ran was a favorite in the Crown Prince's Mansion. If she married there, she could see Xu Ran often, and if she seized the chance, she might even be able to…

Anyway, there were plenty of similar situations in the imperial palace; nothing problematic would arise.

At that point, she could always leave a secret signal at her windowsill, instructing her maids to be alert and let Xu Ran enter. This way, her child might even inherit the genes of an invincible warrior.

"Sister, what are you thinking about? Xu Ran might be powerful, but he's too dissolute in his personal life. He has countless women…" Without thinking, Qian Renxue began listing Xu Ran's flaws, not even realizing the extent of resentment and care hidden within her heart at that moment~

With her personality, she would never get so agitated if she didn't truly care about something.

Unfortunately, those involved often cannot see as clearly as the observers. At this moment, Qian Renxue was entirely unaware that she had become too entangled in the drama. And once you're deeply involved, it is not so easy to extract yourself.

"Imperial Brother, is Marquis of Destiny Xu Ran as bad as you say? It can't be that he outmaneuvered you in official matters and you're settling personal scores," Xue Ke blinked her big eyes; she did not believe what Qian Renxue said. Because she did not see real disgust in her Imperial Brother's eyes, only a hint of resentment.

Instantly, an image of someone fighting for the welfare of the Xingluo Empire, steadfastly arguing with her Imperial Brother and overpowering him, even fiercely confronting him formed in her mind.

Her Imperial Brother, a Crown Prince known for his refined demeanor, was harboring such resentment. Perhaps that genius, Xu Ran, had provoked him too fiercely.

"Forget it, all you need to know is that Xu Ran is not a good person," Qian Renxue sulked, Xu Ran, handling official business? The Xingluo Empire must have been blind to have him negotiate. All the business between the nations was managed by her alone; Xu Ran was only needed for his final signature.

"Brother Xue, I cannot agree with you on that. What do you mean I am not a good person?" A leisurely voice rang out as Xu Ran appeared at the doorway; he had come to realize that his image in Qian Renxue's eyes was not very flattering.

Alas, what was normal male and female attraction had been so misconstrued in Qian Renxue's eyes!

When had he, Xu Ran, become such a lecher? Perhaps he was a bit lustful, but that was only a man's true nature.
