Chapter 218 Qian Renxue's disguise is revealed, Bibi Dong breaks down.
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. But this time, his smile was tinged with a hint of reluctance and wariness. "Everyone has a side they don't want others to know, right? Just like you, Brother Lu, you seem flamboyant, but in reality… you're quite deep."
This is already a disguised form of submission and a test.
It means: I know you have a secret, and you know I have a secret, so we'll keep to ourselves.
Lu Ming shrugged noncommittally.
"Maybe."
He downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, then stood up.
"The wine is good, and the food is good too. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness."
Lu Ming patted the smooth hem of his clothes and looked down at Xue Qinghe, who was still sitting in the chair with a complicated expression.
"However, I don't like riddles. If Your Highness wants to chat with me next time, you'd better try to be more genuine. After all..."
Lu Ming leaned down and whispered in Xue Qinghe's ear, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"I think golden wings suit you better than swans."
After saying that.
Lu Ming straightened up, laughed heartily, and turned to walk out of the private room.
"Let's go, back to the academy."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er quickly stood up, bowed hastily to Xue Qinghe who was still in a daze, and hurriedly chased after him.
The door to the private room was closed.
In the huge room, only Xue Qinghe remained.
Snap!
The white jade wine cup in his hand finally couldn't withstand the force of his fingertips and instantly turned into dust.
Xue Qinghe... or rather Qian Renxue, had long since lost her gentle and refined demeanor, replaced by extreme solemnity and a hint of panic.
"Golden wings..."
She looked down at the spilled wine and powder on the table and muttered to herself.
"He really knows."
"They even know about my martial spirit."
Qian Renxue suddenly closed her eyes, her chest heaving violently.
At this moment, the situation in Tiandou City, which was originally under her control, was completely thrown into chaos because of this man's appearance.
What does he really want?
If they are enemies, why not expose them in public?
If you're friends, why would you make fun of me like this?
Lu Ming did not actually leave the private room.
Just as the carved wooden door was about to close, he paused, as if remembering something important, and turned back.
"The 'Drunken Life, Dreamy Death' wine at this Drunken Immortal Pavilion is priceless. I was so busy talking that I wasted this pot of fine wine."
Lu Ming walked back to the table with a nonchalant air and plopped back down in his seat.
Xue Qinghe had just patted the pile of powder clean, and before he could even wipe the look of shock and anger off his face, he saw that the evil star had returned.
He...she felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had been punched hard.
This person did it on purpose.
It was absolutely intentional!
Lu Ming poured himself a glass of wine, looking at the restless Crown Prince across from him with a playful expression.
"Your Highness, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Ming asked the question knowing the answer already.
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and had no choice but to put on that gentle mask again, but this time, the mask seemed to be on the verge of falling off.
"Brother Lu is joking. He's probably just feeling the effects of the alcohol."
Xue Qinghe forced himself to speak, his palms sweating profusely.
Now that her martial soul had been seen through, she decided to stop pretending to be humble and respectful. She leaned back slightly in her chair and scrutinized Lu Ming with her gaze.
"Lu Ming, since you know who I am, you still dare to sit here so swaggeringly. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave Tiandou City?"
The tone changed.
He was no longer the mild-mannered crown prince, but rather possessed a sharp edge befitting a ruler.
This is the real Qianrenxue.
Lu Ming smiled.
He held up a finger and gently shook it in the air.
"First, you can't kill me. Even your grandfather, Qian Daoliu, couldn't do it, let alone you."
"Secondly, our relationship isn't at a life-or-death point yet, is it? After all..."
Lu Ming pointed to his head, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
"We're still group members."
The words had barely left his mouth.
With a thought, Lu Ming directly brought up the chat group interface that could only be seen by group members.
In the sea of consciousness, the screen lit up.
The group chat was buzzing with excitement because of Shuiyue'er's live stream earlier.
[Poison Fairy]: Emperor Lu was so domineering just now! He scared that prince so much that his face turned green!
[Want a sweet romance]: Absolutely! I'm right next to Emperor Lu Tian right now. He's drinking with the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince is being very polite to him.
Lu Ming looked at these messages, tapped his finger lightly, edited a message, and sent it out.
[Lu Tiandi]: @All members, I have some juicy gossip to share.
The group chat went silent for a moment.
[The Pope]:?
[My cat is white and big]: Where are you?
[Lu Tiandi (Group Owner)]: Regarding Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. This Crown Prince is actually a great beauty disguised as a man.
[Lu Tiandi (Group Owner)]: Moreover, the true identity of this Crown Prince is @I Don't Have a Mom in our group.
[Lu Tiandi (Group Owner)]: Her real name is Qian Renxue, her martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel, and she is also the Pope's own daughter.
boom!
Xue Qinghe suddenly stood up and slammed his knee hard on the table with a loud "bang".
The bowls and chopsticks on the table were shaken and jumped.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were startled, looking at the usually composed and dignified Crown Prince as if he were a madman.
"You...you..."
Xue Qinghe stared intently at Lu Ming, her delicate face flushed red; this time, she had truly broken down.
What did he say in the group chat?!
How dare he say it directly in the group chat!
The chat group has exploded.
[Little Witch]: Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! The Crown Prince is a woman? Or is she from the Spirit Hall?
[The Fox's Purest Love]: ? ? ? The teacher's daughter? Qian Renxue? Who is that? How come I've never heard of her before?
[Liu Erlong]: The Pope's daughter? Bibi Dong, you have a daughter?
The most shocked person was Bibi Dong.
Inside the Spirit Hall, in the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong was originally leaning lazily on her throne, passing the time by looking at messages in the group chat.
When she saw the three characters "Qian Renxue", she almost dropped the scepter in her hand.
That person who's always been at odds with her in the group, the one with the ID "I Don't Have a Mom," is actually Qian Renxue?!
That daughter she wanted to strangle, yet with whom she had a complicated blood relationship?
[His Holiness the Pope]: @I Don't Have a Mother, you're in the group too?!
[His Holiness]: Well, no wonder your ID is so sarcastic, it turns out you're a rebellious daughter!
[Your Holiness]: You've been pretending in the Heavenly Dou Empire for over a decade just to talk back to me in the group chat?
Xue Qinghe... or rather, Qian Renxue, felt her head buzzing as she looked at the messages flooding her mind.
That "Pope" she kept criticizing was really that woman!
And now the whole group knows she's an undercover agent!
How can we infiltrate like this? How can we play like this?
Shame, anger, and a sense of social embarrassment made her wish she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
