Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

The wheels gradually slowed down.

The Dugu family's carriage approached, stopping between the city gates and Qian Renjue.

The coachman immediately jumped down from the carriage and bowed respectfully.

"Dugu Xin at your service, Your Highness."

"No need for formalities."

Qian Renjue raised his hand slightly.

Looking at Dugu Xin's current complexion, it was a stark contrast to the past.

"It seems you've recovered well."

"Thanks to Your Highness, my family has finally been freed from the torment of the phosphor poison."

Dugu Xin slowly stood up, his face full of gratitude.

"Haha."

Qian Renjue chuckled, accepting his words.

He gave an order: "There are too many eyes around. Let's continue inside the carriage."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Dugu Xin nodded slightly.

He turned around and lifted the curtain, respectfully addressing Ling Yuan as well.

"Your Excellency, please."

As his words fell, Dugu Xin glanced curiously at Hu Liena.

Other than Miss Xue, she was the second woman he'd seen so close to Qian Renjue.

"Sister Ling, Nana, let's get in the carriage," Qian Renjue said.

"Yes, Senior Brother~"

Responding softly, Hu Liena climbed into the carriage by holding Qian Ren Jue's hand.

Ling Yuan Douluo nodded slightly and followed closely behind.

As they exchanged words, Dugu Xin finally understood.

So they were senior brother and sister, no wonder they were so close.

"Let's go, lead the way," came Qian Renjue's calm voice from inside the carriage.

"Yes!"

Dugu Xin skillfully mounted his horse, pulling on the reins.

At the same time, he reported to Qian Renjue:

"Your Highness, Miss Xue is waiting for us at the Dugu residence. We'll head there now."

"Alright," Qian Renjue nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Hu Liena, who had been leaning against him, sat up straight, trying to put a bit of distance between herself and her beloved senior brother.

Qian Renjue glanced at her, then chuckled softly.

It seemed that even though his sister rarely came home, Hu Liena couldn't forget her threat.

"Senior Brother, stop laughing!" Hu Liena tugged at his sleeve, pouting.

"Don't worry, as long as you behave, my sister won't do anything to you," Qian Renjue said with a smile, pinching her cheek.

"Mmm…"

Hu Liena opened her mouth but swallowed the words.

Most of the time, her senior brother couldn't stop Miss Xue from scolding her.

Even their teacher, the Pope, couldn't intervene.

Its useless to ask for his help

She had no choice but to endure silently.

By now, Dugu Bo had become an imperial guest minister, holding a prestigious position.

At present, only Emperor Xue Ye had the authority to issue orders to him.

As Dugu Xin was his son, it made sense for him to serve as the messenger.

For him, the inspections at the city gate were nothing.

The carriage slowly passed through the city gates, and the sounds of merchants selling their goods grew louder.

Hu Liena, momentarily distracted, let go of her worries.

She turned her body, lifting a corner of the curtain to peer out at the bustling marketplace.

Her eyes lit up with excitement.

She tugged at Qian Renjue's sleeve and said happily, "Senior Brother, let's go shopping sometime!"

"Maybe on our way back, we'll take a walk outside the city," Qian Ren Jue replied.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

"Hmph."

Seeing Hu Liena so excited, Qian Renjue understood her feelings.

He smiled slightly and asked Dugu Xin from the carriage:

"Dugu Xin, has anything significant happened in Heaven Dou City recently?"

Hearing the mention of business, Ling Yuan Douluo, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them.

"Your Highness, indeed, there has been a major event," Dugu Xin's voice, noticeably lowered, passed through the curtain.

"Two days ago, the second prince of the empire suddenly died, and Emperor Xue Ye ordered a thorough investigation by all officials.

Even the other royal princes have been placed under house arrest."

"The second prince?"

Qian Renjue was momentarily stunned.

Ling Yuan Douluo couldn't help but glance at him.

They both knew this was likely the work of Qian Renxue.

"Your Highness, it seems we've come at the wrong time," Ling Yuan Douluo frowned.

The relationship between the empire and Spirit Hall was merely cordial on the surface.

During such a tense period, the appearance of the Holy Son of Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City would inevitably attract suspicion.

"Don't worry, it's fine," Qian Renjue said dismissively with a wave of his hand.

After all, with Qian Renxue's use of the [Soul-Control Pills], they had already secured victory over the Heaven Dou Empire.

A mere second prince's death was of little consequence.

Ling Yuan Douluo, seeing the confidence in Qian Renjue's eyes, said no more.

Only Hu Liena remained clueless.

She had no idea what Miss Xue, who scolded her from time to time, was doing outside.

Qian Renjue fell silent.

Having already subdued Heaven Dou, Xiao Wu, Ah Yin, and the Dugu family, he was now somewhat eager for Tang San to rise to prominence sooner.

"It seems… it won't be long now."

Qian Renjue murmured to himself, his gaze cold as he leaned back and closed his eyes.

When the time was right, should he make trouble for Tang San?

It might feel like bullying a child, but unfortunately, Tang San wasn't just a child.

"Maybe I'll leave it to that silly rabbit," Qian Renjue sighed. He had no time to keep an eye on Tang San.

"Senior Brother, what are you thinking? Do you need my help?"

Hu Liena hugged her arms, her face small and delicate beneath her wavy short hair.

"I'll let you know when I need you."

Qian Renjue smiled, lifting her chin slightly.

"Your Highness, we've arrived!"

With the neigh of a horse and the sound of wheels grinding on the ground, the carriage stopped in the rear courtyard of the Dugu residence.

The courtyard had an antique feel.

The simple plants and flowers gave it a cold but vibrant atmosphere.

"Jue! Over here~"

A familiar voice called out, soft, melodious, and full of longing.

"Miss Xue?!"

Hearing the voice, Hu Liena immediately let go of Qian Renjue's hand and nervously fiddled with her clothes.

"Sister…"

Qian Renjue turned around, his violet eyes bright.

Qian Renxue was already standing under the eaves, flanked by two guards.

She had shed much of her youthful innocence, and her exquisitely beautiful face brightened the courtyard, making even the dust seem to sparkle.

Dressed in a long, pale-yellow gown, her graceful figure softened her presence.

"Why are you still standing there? Waiting for your sister to throw herself into your arms?"

Qian Renxue teased with a smile, beckoning him over.

"Of course not."

Qian Renjue approached her without hesitation.

Qian Renxue with hands behind her back, leaned into his embrace.

"Why did it take so long to hunt soul beasts?"

She rested her chin on his shoulder, glancing at Hu Liena with a gaze filled with threat

Qian Renjue shook his head.

"Besides hunting soul beasts, I had some other matters to attend to."

"Other matters?"

Qian Renxue glanced at the nervous Hu Liena, suddenly losing interest.

She tilted her head slightly, inhaling the familiar scent, and whispered into his ear, "You'll explain everything later, won't you?"

"I will."

"Good boy. Mwah!"
