Prince's Mansion.
After seeing Arou off, Xuan Ming was brought here by the guards from the Prince's Mansion.
"What did the Pope tell you?"
As soon as she entered the door, Qian Renxue began to understand the situation impatiently.
Yue Guan didn't even give her a chance to get close!
She couldn't even force herself to eavesdrop by posing as Qian Renxue!
"She asked about my injury, and then apologized for injuring me in Wuhun City before." Xuan Ming said.
"Then what?" Qian Renxue asked.
"No more." Xuan Ming said.
"Gone?" Qian Renxue was a little suspicious.
"You went in yesterday evening and stayed with the Pope the entire time. You only came out at noon today, and that's all you said?"
"I'm sleeping." Xuan Ming said.
"…"
"Sleep?" Qian Renxue was a little unresponsive.
"We barely said a few words last night before she knocked me out, and I slept until noon today," Xuan Ming said.
"Knock you out? Why? What did you say?" Qian Renxue asked.
"Is this an interrogation?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I'm just concerned." Qian Renxue said.
"Care?" Xuan Ming paused.
"If it were Tang Yuehua, she would first ask if I was injured and if the Pope had given me any trouble. After hearing that I slept until noon today, she would ask if I was hungry and then prepare something to eat for me."
"I believe she cares about me like this."
"Do you... have any other opinions on the word 'care'?"
Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment.
"The Pope's motives in coming to Tiandou City are definitely not innocent. She left you in the Spirit Temple overnight. The outside world will definitely be suspicious of this matter. I need to understand the situation in order to stabilize the situation."
"Oh, the overall situation is important. You are worthy of being like this, caring about the world." Xuan Ming said.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier? I won't misunderstand."
"You!" Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
"I ignore the overall situation? I act on impulse? I don't know what's good for me?" Xuan Ming said.
"No problem, I admit all of this, but I don't understand why you don't ask the Pope about these things?"
"Wouldn't it be simpler and more direct to discuss it with her?"
"Okay! I won't ask anymore, okay?" Qian Renxue interrupted.
"As long as you are happy, there is no need to ask for my opinion." Xuan Ming said.
"You wouldn't listen to me anyway."
"You!"
Qian Renxue clenched her fists and stood up suddenly.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Every time she said something, this guy would retort!
"Intentional?" Xuan Ming frowned slightly and closed his eyes.
There was indeed something wrong, and he retorted almost subconsciously without thinking.
If it were before, he would just remain silent and wait for Qian Renxue to act freely.
But now, he couldn't control himself at all.
"Sorry, there might be something wrong with my brain." Xuan Ming opened his eyes.
"If you don't want to start a fight, I suggest you don't talk to me for now."
Qian Renxue looked at Xuan Ming, a complex expression flashing across her eyes. After a moment, she slowly loosened her clenched fists and sat back in her chair, trying to keep her tone calm.
"Alright, I won't argue with you for now, but the Pope's actions are truly strange. She couldn't have left you in the Spirit Temple overnight without a purpose."
"Although you said you were sleeping the whole time, who can guarantee that nothing else happened?"
"What could happen?" Xuan Ming asked back.
Qian Renxue turned her head away.
"Who knows? She's a forty-year-old woman, and she knocked you out..."
"Stop, where are you going?"
Xuan Ming paused.
"Before it was Xue Qinghe, then it was Tang Yuehua, and now it's the Pope?"
"Who's next? How about you tell me first so I can be mentally prepared?"
Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment, "I...I didn't mean that."
"You were the one who proposed the incident, you were the one who spread the rumors, and you were the one who found the person." Xuan Ming turned around and glanced at Qian Renxue.
"Now you tell me you didn't mean that?"
"It seems that my comprehension ability needs to be improved urgently, otherwise I will be completely unable to keep up with your thinking."
Xuan Ming said nothing more and turned away.
Qian Renxue looked at Xuan Ming's resolute back, feeling mixed emotions and an inexplicable irritation welling up in her heart.
She knew very well that her words just now were somewhat inappropriate, but the Pope's visit to Tiandou City and his puzzling behavior made it difficult for her to remain calm.
"Young Master, why don't you go to the Spirit Temple and ask in person?" Snake Spear Douluo slowly walked out from the shadows.
"Stop tormenting him."
If you want to completely control a person, you must first crush his mind, and then take advantage of his weakness, using a combination of force and force, first using intimidation, then using inducement. This is what Qian Xunji taught Qian Renxue.
Theoretically, this is correct, and it works for most people. Qian Renxue has used this method to deal with other people over the years, and it has been successful without exception.
But there are always a group of people in this world who disobey discipline, and Xuan Ming is obviously one of them.
Qian Renxue's stick couldn't frighten him, and the candy that followed would only be seen as an insult.
Trying to deal with Xuan Ming by adding sugar to a stick obviously won't work.
Qian Renxue couldn't possibly not see this, but she was reluctant to change her approach because she felt that changing would be tantamount to admitting failure.
Because she had never lost before, Qian Renxue was unwilling to admit it and unable to accept it.
But if this continues, Xuan Ming will be forced to rebel sooner or later!
If it were before, he would have suggested Qian Renxue to get rid of Xuan Ming directly, but now, Xuan Ming's position is irreplaceable, and he cannot be moved rashly, otherwise it will cause a huge storm.
Unlike those princes before, if something happens to Xuan Ming, the Tiandou royal family, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the seven major families, and the Pope will never let him go easily, especially the first three, they will definitely track him down to the end!
If things really come to that, Qian Renxue will probably be exposed!
"I have my own plans, so don't say anything more." Qian Renxue stood up and walked away with a cold face.
Snake Spear Douluo sighed.
This cannot go on. The only one who can persuade Qian Renxue now is the chief priest.
…
Wuhun City, Central Mountain, Worship Hall.
"Great Priest, She Long has sent a letter."
"Xiaoxue is in trouble?"
Qian Daoliu opened his eyes and slowly fell from mid-air.
"I guess so. It's related to that kid." Golden Crocodile Douluo handed the letter from Snake Spear Douluo to Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu took a quick look and frowned slightly, "After all these years, is it still like this?"
"Great Priest, Xiaoxue won't listen to anyone else's words. Now you are the only one who can persuade her." Golden Crocodile Douluo was a little helpless.
They were willing to keep Xuan Ming at the beginning not because of his talent, but purely because Qian Renxue wanted him.
Otherwise, based on the boy's behavior in the Angel Temple, he would have been slapped to death by him.
But now, Qian Renxue is going further and further astray in this matter, at least according to She Long's description.
"I originally thought that the existence of this boy would make her change, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this..." Qian Daoliu sighed.
He did not object to Qian Renxue bringing Xuan Ming to Tiandou City. In addition to satisfying her competitive spirit and possessiveness, he also thought that having that boy around would help to temper Qian Renxue's character.
You can see the description in She Long's letter, polishing?
Be stubborn and make mistakes!
This is getting more and more stubborn!
Qian Daoliu was silent for a moment, his eyes showing some thought, "Forget it, I'll go to Tiandou City myself."
Bibi Dong is in Tiandou City now, and that woman's attitude towards Xuan Ming is also very strange. If Qian Renxue makes trouble with her at this time, something bad might happen!
