The three looked at each other in silence, their eyes flickering constantly; it was clear that none of them were calm inside.
A moment later, Ye Lingling seemed to have thought of something, and a flash of insight appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Previously, Su Ye had mentioned something about an angel in the diary, but because the identity of Xue Qinghe was so deeply ingrained in people’s minds, she had never considered that possibility.
Thinking about it now, although it was a bit like hindsight, everything could be explained.
Su Ye had laid his cards on the table from the beginning in the diary, saying that Little Angel went to find him, tried to recruit him, and then the two of them came to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
It was so obvious, yet she hadn’t thought of it before; it was truly inexcusable.
However, she couldn’t be blamed either.
After all, who could have imagined that the dignified Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, the future monarch of a nation, would be from Spirit Hall?
Opposite her, Qian Renxue had also calmed down by now.
Many people had a diary; this was something she had known for a long time, and it was an obvious fact.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were not ordinary people; they likely had significant roles in the original story, so it was normal for them to possess a diary.
She silently thought “Yes” in her heart, then looked at the two women again.
Her expression softened slightly as she invited them: “Shall we chat?”
The content of the diary could not be revealed, so she was not worried that the two women would expose her identity.
Coupled with her connection to Su Ye, she had no intention of killing them at this moment.
However, probing them was still essential.
Especially the topic the two women had just been discussing; she really wanted to know what was going on.
How long had that guy Su Ye known this woman?
And they were already talking about marriage?
And that old guy Dugu Bo, randomly playing matchmaker like that—was he looking for death?
Looking at the friend request that popped up before them, the two women exchanged a glance and also silently thought “Yes” in their hearts.
After a moment of eye contact, they nodded at this “Crown Prince” and agreed.
“Then let’s chat.” Dugu Yan raised her head slightly, not intimidated at all.
Seriously, who’s afraid of whom?
Of course, although they weren’t intimidated in words, in their actions, the two women were still cautious.
They didn’t choose to go out but instead brought her to their residence within the academy.
After all, she was from Spirit Hall and had been playing such a huge game in secret.
Now that they had discovered her secret, who knew if she would pull something?
It was better to be safe.
Dugu Bo was currently in the academy, which was the two women’s greatest source of confidence.
Before long, the three arrived at Dugu Yan’s residence.
After sitting down, Qian Renxue put on the airs of a “main wife,” her gaze like a sword as she looked directly at Dugu Yan and asked: “What is your relationship with Su Ye?
Also, where is he now?”
She didn’t care at all what the two thought after learning her identity; instead, she was extremely concerned about the conversation the two women had just had.
Heaven knew what it felt like when she heard Dugu Bo wanting to play matchmaker for the two of them.
It was as if her beloved treasure had been taken away by someone, leaving her feeling empty, while an indescribable emotion lingered in her heart.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before, causing her to lose her composure on the spot.
Dugu Yan frowned slightly.
Coming at them with such an interrogative tone right from the start?
Seriously, who does she think she is?
She was about to retort immediately, but before she could speak, she was stopped by her good friend.
Ye Lingling shook her head slightly at her, then looked at this “Crown Prince” and said calmly: “It was just a joke by Grandpa Dugu.”
“Your Excellency should know that Su Ye and Yan Yan met after he met you, so what kind of relationship could they have?”
“As for where he is now?”
“We only know that he is in Grandpa Dugu’s herb garden, preparing a Medicinal Pill to detoxify.
As for the specific location, we don’t know either.”
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue’s expression completely softened.
Thinking about it, it made sense; how long had the two known each other?
It wouldn’t happen that fast.
It was just her emotions getting the better of her, and she had overthought it.
Her reason returned, and when she looked at the two women again, her gaze was much softer, as if the Crown Prince who treated others like a gentle spring breeze had returned.
“I was a bit rude just now; I hope you two will not take offense.”
Since it was confirmed that it wasn’t that kind of relationship, and the two women had decent talent and a diary, she naturally wouldn’t give them a cold shoulder anymore.
The desire to recruit and win them over immediately began to stir.
Facing this scene that could be called a change of face, Ye Lingling nodded slightly and offered a polite remark.
Dugu Yan, however, snorted coldly, not buying it at all.
Qian Renxue didn’t mind seeing this; if it weren’t for the existence of the diary, she wouldn’t even have looked at someone like Dugu Yan.
On the contrary, it was this Ye Lingling who made her look twice.
This woman looked cold and introverted, like a wallflower.
In reality, she was sharp-minded and not a simple character.
Moreover, the Nine-Heart Begonia Spirit was not bad either; overall, she was a talent.
Thus, a bizarre scene followed.
Dugu Yan, who was usually in charge of diplomacy between the two, became mute, while Ye Lingling appeared to be having a pleasant conversation with Qian Renxue.
The two talked a lot, but in general, Qian Renxue was constantly probing and recruiting them, both overtly and covertly.
While Ye Lingling was calmly deflecting and refusing.
Finally!
Seeing that it was getting late and knowing that there wouldn’t be any progress in the short term, Qian Renxue stood up to take her leave.
When she walked to the door, she suddenly stopped.
“You are both smart people.
The Heaven Dou Imperial Family has no deep connection with you, so do not do anything that you will regret.”
After saying this, she didn’t wait for the two women to respond and left directly.
“She’s really full of herself.”
Dugu Yan snorted in dissatisfaction; in all her life, this was the first time someone had dared to threaten her.
Ye Lingling shook her head slightly: “Seraphim…
Her status in Spirit Hall is likely even higher than we imagined.
Anyway, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has nothing to do with us, so there is no need to create extra trouble over this.”
Hearing this, Dugu Yan nodded slightly, signaling her good friend not to worry.
She was just a bit annoyed, not truly unable to recognize the situation.
Although the Seraphim Spirit and the surname Qian had become extinct on the continent.
But given their background, how could they not know about the Seraphim Spirit, and how could they not know that the past Supreme Pontiffs were all from the Qian family?
An old father like Ning Fengzhi, who didn’t even educate his daughter about the Hell White Tiger, was truly rare.
Being called Little Angel by Su Ye and being from Spirit Hall, a little thought was enough to know what her identity probably was.
“Grandpa only owed Prince Xue Xing a favor back then, and once it was repaid, that was it.
As for anything more, I believe that given Grandpa’s personality, he won’t get involved on his own initiative.”
As Dugu Yan said this, Ye Lingling nodded slightly.
Immediately, the two women put this matter aside and stopped talking about it.
The power struggle between these major forces, especially major events concerning future changes in the landscape, was not something they could participate in.
Qian Renxue was very good at chatting, and this dragged on until evening.
The two women went to the academy cafeteria for a simple meal and then returned to their residence to wait for the diary update.
Today’s diary content was very explosive, and both women couldn’t wait to start digging into the gossip.
