章 350: Chapter 350: You Win
...
"Go with you? Where to?"
"Spirit Hall?"
Looking at Xue Qinghe standing in front of him, or rather, Qian Renxue would be more appropriate, Zeng Yi couldn't help but smile.
"It's been so long, and you still haven't changed your mind about taking me back to your Spirit Hall?"
"Don't you think that you can make me surrender with just yourself?"
Zeng Yi's expression seemed relaxed, as if he didn't put Qian Renxue, who was at the rank of Spirit Emperor, in his eyes.
However, Zeng Yi's inner caution was unparalleled. He planned to confuse her with words while thinking about his escape route.
He had a premonition about what was happening now, but he never expected it to come so soon.
Since Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue in disguise, she must have a bigger plan in mind, which was to steal the entire Heaven Dou Empire under the identity of the Crown Prince Heaven Dou Empire.
Combined with her ambition to become the everlasting emperor, Zeng Yi had initially thought that Qian Renxue was delusional and couldn't distinguish reality, maybe due to being intoxicated or not in a clear state of mind when she bragged to him.
But thinking about her true identity as the Holy Saintess of the Spirit Hall, her ambitious words were quite realistic and fitting.
However, why did she expose her identity for me?
Did she not consider the consequences of doing so?
She had concealed her true identity for so many years, meticulously planning for so many years, and now she was willing to abandon it?
Zeng Yi couldn't understand what "friend" like her was thinking.
But there was another question that puzzled Zeng Yi and he couldn't figure it out.
Upon hearing Zeng Yi's words, Qian Renxue didn't respond.
After spending so much time with Zeng Yi, she had a clear understanding of his strength. She admitted it would be quite difficult for her to capture Zeng Yi alone.
But there was one thing Qian Renxue wanted to know.
"Even if you already knew my true identity, why didn't you expose me?"
Qian Renxue's voice came out of nowhere, and Zeng Yi was also puzzled.
I also want to know why!
Zeng Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"What do you mean 'already knew'? I only had some suspicions before, but now that I see you personally, I am certain."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was stunned.
So, she was tricked?
Zeng Yi also felt helpless. He originally thought that Xue Qinghe was just Xue Qinghe, and couldn't associate her with the extraordinary beauty in front of him.
But as he turned around, his friend became his enemy, pursuing him.
This contrast was difficult for Zeng Yi to accept.
Although Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, had been friendly to him during this period, behaving like a true close friend, now that he knew her true identity, the sense of deception was truly uncomfortable.
Whether it was deceived by Qian Renxue or deceived by the system.
Because before, Zeng Yi had used the function of the system to check Xue Qinghe's information.
And that information was as follows.
[Name: Xue Qinghe]
[Age: 25]
[Martial Spirit: Heavenly Swan]
[Spirit Power: Level 41]
And now..
[Name: Qian Renxue]
[Age: 21]
[Martial Spirit: Seraphim]
[Spirit Power: Level 63]
Because of this system's function, Zeng Yi never expected that Xue Qinghe could be Qian Renxue in disguise.
Could her disguise martial spirit technique be so terrifying that it even fooled this?
Zeng Yi found it hard to accept.
Damn it! This system is a bastard! It has escaped, leaving behind this useless function to deceive me!
Zeng Yi cursed inwardly, feeling gloomy in his mood.
Being deceived by Qian Renxue was one thing, but even the system that brought him to this world had deceived him.
The Douluo Continent was beautiful, but he wouldn't come here in his next life.
It's not worth it!
He had become corrupted!
The reason why Zeng Yi was able to discover Qian Renxue's true identity was during the previous chase by the Spirit Saint.
That day, thanks to Bone Douluo arriving just in time, he managed to escape with his life.
However, what surprised Zeng Yi was that Xue Qinghe, also arrived.
At that time, due to the intense and cruel battle, Zeng Yi's eyes were unable to open, but he could still sense the familiar aura of Xue Qinghe.
But the release of power from her due to the anger of Zeng Yi being pursued made him doubt.
Because that surge of spirit power was strong, and Zeng Yi knew that Xue Qinghe was only a Rank 41 Spirit Ancestor, and her Martial Spirit was not that powerful. She shouldn't have possessed such strength.
Because of this, Zeng Yi began to suspect Xue Qinghe's identity.
After experiencing that assassination attempt, Zeng Yi's mental state became somewhat unstable. He lost his former carefreeness, and his smile that always hung on his face disappeared. After each match, Zeng Yi would stay alone in his room or lie on the rooftop, enjoying the night breeze and moonlight.
His state of mind had changed, allowing Zeng Yi to see more.
It wasn't just what his eyes saw, but his inner feelings.
Zeng Yi pondered for a long time and finally remembered the surge of spirit power that Xue Qinghe emitted. He had encountered it a year ago.
It was during the time when he was caught and almost killed by her in the Star Dou Forest. In the end, he mistakenly entered the territory of a 100,000 year Spirit Beast, dispersed and escaped, only to fall into her hands again.
That person was Qian Renxue!
Due to Zeng Yi's vague understanding of the plot of the Douluo Continent and the deceit of the system, he wasn't completely certain if Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue.
But in Zeng Yi's mind, there was already a 50% possibility.
In fact, even with a 10% possibility, an average person would've reported this kind of situation to the empire's higher-ups.
You see, the true owner of the Heavenly Dou Empire, had nothing to do with Zeng Yi.
Although Qian Renxue used the identity of Xue Qinghe to befriend him, it was a form of deception. But Zeng Yi could feel the weight of this friendship, which was truly genuine.
Because she came to him in his most dangerous moment.
Perhaps it was due to her own strength that Bone Douluo couldn't arrive as quickly. Perhaps, if Bone Douluo hadn't come, when she arrived, it would have been to clean up his body.
But she came.
Just because of that, Zeng Yi wouldn't disclose her information to anyone else.
Qian Renxue didn't know what Zeng Yi currently thought of her, but she believed that Zeng Yi probably loathed her.
However, she had no choice. For the sake of Zeng Yi's safety, she had to personally step forward. Otherwise, if Zeng Yi was taken back to the Spirit Hall by someone else, she couldn't guarantee that woman wouldn't do something detrimental to him.
If something went wrong, Qian Renxue would regret it for the rest of her life.
Even if Zeng Yi didn't consider her a friend anymore.
But in Qian Renxue's heart, Zeng Yi was the most important and only friend.
Even if it meant staining her reputation or giving up her meticulously planned years, she was willing.
"Can't you let me go?" Zeng Yi asked, as if begging for mercy, but also helpless.
But Qian Renxue just shook her head.
"Just this once, Zeng Yi, come with me! You are my best friend, and I will never harm you!" Qian Renxue said resolutely.
Zeng Yi, with a wry smile, raised his hand, and countless leaves appeared silently in the moonlight, condensing into a long blade in his palm.
Under the moonlight, the reflection of the sharp blade shimmered with a chilling light.
In an instant, a cool breeze blew over, lifting their long hair.
The atmosphere became chilling.
"In that case, we can only settle this with a fight."
Seeing Zeng Yi standing with his sword on the opposite side, Qian Renxue felt a pang of pain in her heart. Because this was the outcome she least wanted to see.
"Sorry, I can't accept being friends like this!"
Zeng Yi smiled faintly as he dispersed the sword in his hand, then raised both of his hands helplessly.
"Fine, you win."
