Chapter 182 Reunion with Qian Renxue
After leaving the far north, Qin Mu and his two companions headed towards Spirit Hall City.
Qin Mu now possesses level 88 soul power, along with three 100,000-year soul rings and four 100,000-year soul bones. The quality and quantity of his soul power are comparable to those of titled Douluo like Ling Yuan and Yue Guan.
In just one day, Qin Mu and his two companions traveled from the remote far north to the most prosperous city in the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.
Qin Mu, who originally intended to bypass Heaven Dou City, suddenly felt an urge to go in and explore the bustling city upon seeing it.
After all, since Qin Mu left after studying at Spirit Hall, he hasn't had much normal rest or leisure time.
Seeing Qin Mu fly towards the ground near Heaven Dou City, Ling Yuan and Yue Guan, though somewhat puzzled, followed in his footsteps and entered Heaven Dou City together.
They initially thought Qin Mu had some important business in Heaven Dou City, but it turned out that after entering Heaven Dou City, Qin Mu simply strolled around the bustling streets.
Passing by a stall, Qin Mu even picked up a small trinket and played with it for a while.
Upon seeing Qin Mu's performance, Ling Yuan and the other two showed a hint of surprise on their faces.
Especially Ling Yuan, from the time Qin Mu left Spirit Hall City at the age of twelve until now at the age of twenty-one, a full nine years, Ling Yuan has rarely seen Qin Mu have such a playful mindset.
During these nine years, Qin Mu was either cultivating or on the path of cultivation.
The two exchanged a glance but did not make a sound to disturb each other.
After all, in their eyes, Qin Mu now looks more like a young man around twenty years old.
Ling Yuan and the other girl stayed quietly by Qin Mu's side, afraid of making any noise that might cause Qin Mu to revert to being a little adult.
Just as Ling Yuan and the other person thought that Qin Mu was really enjoying this leisure time, a dark figure suddenly appeared beside Qin Mu.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ling Yuan and her companion were immediately on high alert. However, after considering Qin Mu's current strength, their anxiety lessened somewhat.
In terms of sheer strength, even Ling Yuan and Yue Guan are probably no match for Qin Mu now.
There are very few people on the entire continent who can defeat Qin Mu directly.
After whispering a few words in Qin Mu's ear, the shadowy figure handed Qin Mu a jade token and then mysteriously vanished from the spot once again.
Playing with the token in his hand, Qin Mu turned to look at Ling Yuan and the other two.
"Let's go, let's get down to business."
Seeing Qin Mu revert to his mature demeanor, Ling Yuan pouted with a hint of regret.
"If I didn't know your age, I would have thought you were an old fox even older than me!"
"Our Sister Lingyuan isn't old at all!"
Qin Mu teased Ling Yuan with a smile, making Ling Yuan blush. She then gave Qin Mu a hard slap from behind.
Amidst their playful antics, the three arrived at the heart of Heaven Dou City: the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace!
Upon seeing the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Ling Yuan and Yue Guan both showed expressions of surprise. Then, they looked at Qin Mu in front of them and immediately understood Qin Mu's intention.
Qin Mu handed the token given to him by the shadowy figure to the guards of the imperial city. The guards respectfully bowed to Qin Mu and the other two before leading them into the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Qin Mu had no interest in the Heaven Dou Empire; he was only here because someone wanted to see him.
Before long, led by the guards, the three arrived at the Crown Prince's residence in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
At this moment, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was already waiting for Qin Mu at the door.
"Your Highness, why do you, a woman of noble birth, come out to greet us?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue chuckled lightly.
"Come in and talk."
Qian Renxue led Qin Mu and the other two into the Crown Prince's residence, subtly observing Qin Mu with her gaze.
However, the more Qian Renxue looked at him, the more terrified she became.
It should be noted that three years ago, Qian Renxue was still able to suppress Qin Mu's soul power to some extent, and she could also sense Qin Mu's specific soul power cultivation level through her special abilities.
At this moment, Qian Renxue could no longer discern the true extent of Qin Mu's cultivation.
In fact, in Qian Renxue's eyes, Qin Mu was just an ordinary person!
There are generally only two possibilities when this happens.
Or perhaps Qin Mu really is just an ordinary person. Of course, this possibility simply doesn't exist.
Either Qin Mu's strength has far surpassed Qian Renxue's!
Far surpassing herself!
The thought popped into Qian Renxue's mind, and her heart clenched suddenly.
If Qin Mu's strength far surpasses her own, then his strength must be at least at the eighth ring.
Moreover, a regular eight-ring wouldn't give Qian Renxue this feeling.
Qin Mu's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul was simply not enough to suppress Qian Renxue's Angel martial soul.
So now there's only one possibility.
Qin Mu's soul power is at least level 85 or higher!
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue could no longer calm down.
When she met him three years ago, he was just a sixth-ring Soul Emperor, and her soul power was similar to his.
Three years have passed, and Qian Renxue has become a seventh-ring Soul Saint.
Such speed is extremely rare, even on the entire continent.
But now, Qin Mu in front of her has actually reached the eighth ring. How can Qian Renxue accept this?
Leading Qin Mu into the Crown Prince's residence, Qian Renxue casually closed the door and then removed her mask, revealing her original beautiful face.
"Your Highness, this is the Imperial Palace! Isn't it inappropriate for you to be so exposed?"
Qin Mu reminded her after seeing Qian Renxue reveal her true form.
"Exposed? Please, there are three titled Douluo in this room!"
"If someone could conceal the presence of three titled Douluo and detect our conversation, my identity would have been exposed long ago."
Qian Renxue sat in the main seat of the main hall and gestured for Qin Mu and the other two to sit down as well.
Qin Mu was not surprised that Qian Renxue found him so easily, after all, he still had the Angel Token in his possession, which could be sensed by the Angel lineage at any time.
"Alright, Miss, you have to tell me why you called me here."
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Qian Renxue paused slightly in her tea-pouring motion before immediately resuming her actions.
When Qian Renxue served the tea to Qin Mu, her gaze suddenly became very aggressive.
"Qin Mu, it's been three years, and you've become this strong again?"
"Even with my current strength, I still can't see through you."
"Hehe, no wonder he's the man Grandpa values!"
Qian Renxue's eyes were filled with admiration for Qin Mu. In her opinion, Qin Mu was now more than a match for her.
Qin Mu did not respond to Qian Renxue's words, but instead looked at her calmly.
"Since you're already here, why don't you tell me about the changes in Heaven Dou City over the past three years, Miss?"
