Qian Renxue sat in the carriage.
The carriage, which had been moving smoothly, suddenly began to shake violently.
Her heart tightened, and she keenly sensed that the commotion outside was abnormal.
"What the hell is going on? Why isn't it done yet? They're all useless!?"
Qian Renxue's eyes showed some impatience.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her jade-like fingers gently pushed open the curtain.
She gracefully stepped out of the carriage, ready to see what was happening outside.
When her gaze fell upon the scene before her, she was instantly and deeply shocked.
The once spacious and tidy street was now a scene of utter chaos.
The knights, usually so arrogant and imposing, lay sprawled on the ground, groans of pain filling the air.
Their armor was tattered, their weapons scattered everywhere, their appearance utterly pathetic.
In the heart of this chaos stood a silver-haired girl, her figure tall and straight, like an unshakeable mountain.
Her silver hair, as brilliant as the Milky Way, danced wildly in the wind, each strand seemingly imbued with boundless power.
Gu Yuena's face was exquisitely beautiful yet cold as ice. Her skin was as white and flawless as jade, yet radiated a chilling aura.
Her eyes were like bottomless pools of ice, cold and profound; a single glance could plunge one into an icy abyss.
Her lips were tightly pressed together, revealing a resolute and domineering air, as if nothing in this world could hinder her will.
Qian Renxue's gaze met Gu Yuena's, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
A storm raged within Qian Renxue's heart; she was shocked by the unparalleled domineering aura and powerful presence emanating from the young woman.
It was a majesty that transcended everything, causing even this proud daughter of heaven to feel a pang of fear.
Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with disbelief and profound shock.
She had never imagined that such an extraordinary figure would appear on this ordinary street.
"This person is so strong!"
This was Qian Renxue's first impression.
Some people don't even need to release their martial spirit; just one glance is enough to know they are powerful. Gu Yuena was such a person.
"Ah..."
The knights were still howling in pain.
They really hadn't expected Gu Yuena to be so outrageous.
Without even releasing her martial spirit, she had sent them all flying with just one spear.
They didn't even have a chance to fight back. It was simply defying the heavens.
The onlookers were also horrified. The scene they had just witnessed had a huge impact on them.
"What exactly happened?"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath and questioned.
The leading knight explained, reporting the truth.
Qian Renxue was speechless when he learned that the other party had only clashed with them because they were protecting a three-year-old child.
"This was all an accident. My people provoked us first... I apologize on their behalf."
After understanding the whole story, Qian Renxue stepped forward and bowed to Gu Yuena, being extremely polite.
In front of outsiders, he had to maintain the demeanor of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
"Is there anything else? If you want to fight, then continue... I still remember to go find someone."
Gu Yuena said impatiently. She had been in the human world for a short time and had already been in several fights. It wasn't that she had a bad temper.
It was these humans who brought trouble upon themselves, so she couldn't be blamed.
All she wanted now was to find Qian Renshang quickly; she'd been searching for him for almost half a month without any trace.
There was no way around it; the human world was just too vast, and Qian Renshang wasn't exactly a celebrity.
Asking around was indeed troublesome, and besides, she didn't have any resources to draw upon in the human world.
"You're looking for someone?"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up at this.
"Yes, I'm looking for a friend. I've been looking for him for a long time… but I still have no clue. There are just too many people."
Gu Yuena said calmly, and Qian Renxue chuckled.
"Perhaps I can help you with this. To tell you the truth, I am the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, my name is Xue Qinghe… I can utilize the resources and connections of the entire empire.
I believe finding your so-called friend will be much easier."
"You can help me find someone?"
Gu Yuena was slightly surprised, but Qian Renxue answered confidently.
"Of course!"
"Then thank you very much. After it's done… I, Gu Yuena, will owe you a favor."
Qian Renxue smiled slightly. Indeed, the moment he saw Gu Yuena again, he had the intention to recruit her.
Judging by her age, this girl seemed to be 15 or 16 years old, yet she could defeat his Soul King-led knight guard single-handedly, without even using her martial spirit.
This was enough to prove how powerful she was; he even felt that Gu Yuena was more talented than that Gu Siyue.
"Haha… I didn't expect to be rejected by one genius, but then encounter another even more formidable one. Indeed, I, Qian Renxue, am the chosen one!"
"Haha…"
Qian Renxue was extremely pleased with himself, forcibly suppressing his laughter as he spoke to Gu Yuena.
"Seeing how travel-worn you are, why don't you rest at my place?
I can arrange to find your friend later. Don't worry, I'm a man of my word."
"Okay!"
Gu Yuena agreed, thinking that with his help, she should be able to find Qian Renshang soon.
"Phew, I wonder where that little brat is... I've been looking for him for ages. I'll teach him a lesson when I see him."
Gu Yuena thought fiercely, then looked up at Qian Renxue.
She thought he seemed alright, and if the opportunity arose, she could introduce him to Qian Renshang.
"The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?... Interesting."
Gu Yuena already knew about the current situation on the continent from Cong Ditian and the others.
There were countless small countries on the Douluo Continent, but only two major powers:
The Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.
Both empires had countless powerful figures, and had been at war for hundreds of years without a clear victor.
She never expected to meet the so-called Crown Prince here.
Perhaps she could learn more about the Douluo Continent through him.
"Let's get in the carriage!"
"Okay!"
Gu Yuena didn't hesitate and got into the same carriage as Qian Renxue, standing opposite each other.
Giddy up!
The carriage slowly made its way into the palace, and Qian Renxue, now with some free time, began to observe Gu Yuena.
Her gaze swept over the other woman's exquisite face, graceful figure, and unique aura, and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Gu Yuena's silver hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, shimmering with a faint silver light; her purple eyes, like deep gemstones, revealed a mysterious and captivating light.
Her skin was as white as snow, delicate and smooth, seemingly fragile enough to break at a touch.
Beneath her high, straight nose, her lips were slightly upturned, radiating a subtle smile.
Qian Renxue secretly admired her; such beauty was truly rare.
Even she herself had to admit that the girl before her was breathtakingly beautiful.
She thought that if she were to revert to women's clothing, she might not be able to compare to Gu Yuena.
This realization surprised her slightly, but it also aroused her even greater curiosity about Gu Yuena.
