Late at night.
The night was deep and quiet.
In the hotel room, Ye Xi, who was sound asleep, seemed to sense something, gradually opened her azure eyes, and scanned the room.
Soon, Ye Xi's gaze fixed on the person directly in front of her.
Directly in front, a young man was sitting, holding a cup of clear tea, drinking it while observing Ye Xi.
Their eyes met, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
"You're awake?"
"Who are you?"
They asked in unison.
Ye Xi watched the young man warily, while the young man continuously observed Ye Xi.
"Tsk tsk, I only read the description in the letter before."
"Now that I see the Immortal Master, I know that what the letter said was true."
"What does Grandpa usually feed her? How did she grow to be like a large porcelain doll?"
"She's only slightly less impressive than I was when I was a child."
The young man thought secretly to himself, but his expression remained unchanged.
The young man was none other than Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, and the appearance she was currently using was Xue Qinghe's.
"Who is this?"
"How did he enter the room so silently?"
Ye Xi looked at Qian Renxue in front of her, secretly releasing her mental force to probe Qian Renxue's strength.
To Ye Xi's disappointment, there were no spirit power fluctuations on Qian Renxue's body, and such a situation could only mean two things.
First: He was just an ordinary person, not a Spirit Master.
Second: His strength was far above her own.
But looking at the situation in the room, Ye Xi quickly dismissed the first possibility.
"Should I make a move and tease her?"
"Should I make a move and test her?"
Ye Xi and Qian Renxue both thought to themselves.
Almost simultaneously, Ye Xi and Qian Renxue both put one hand behind their backs, and pale golden and blood-red spirit power appeared in their hands respectively.
Almost at the same time, Ye Xi and Qian Renxue both made their moves, and the whistling strong winds blew their opponent's hair.
Qian Renxue blocked Ye Xi's attack, while her own attack stopped in front of Ye Xi.
"Tsk, a Spirit Grandmaster's strength, yet the power unleashed is not weaker than an ordinary Spirit Ancestor."
Qian Renxue praised, then sat directly on Ye Xi's bed.
"Who exactly are you?"
Gravity appeared in Ye Xi's eyes, but she did not make another move, instead quietly watching Qian Renxue.
"My name is Qian Renxue."
"Nominally speaking, you should call me elder sister."
As Qian Renxue spoke, she waved her hand in front of her eyes, restoring her original appearance.
At this moment, Qian Renxue had long golden hair casually draped behind her, skin as white as snow, a pair of slightly slender Phoenix eyes, and an almost perfect countenance without any flaws.
Although she was dressed in men's clothing, she gave off a heroic and spirited aura.
"Elder sister?"
Looking at Qian Renxue in front of her, Ye Xi tentatively called out.
"Mm."
"For our first meeting, I've prepared a gift for you."
Qian Renxue reached out and pinched Ye Xi's cheek, then snapped her fingers.
The room door opened, and She Long and Ling Yuan walked in together.
"Young Lord."
"Second Miss."
She Long and Ling Yuan bowed to Qian Renxue and Ye Xi.
"Second Miss, this is the gift Young Lord prepared for you."
She Long placed an exquisitely designed gift box in front of Ye Xi.
"You two may withdraw first."
"I want to spend some time alone with my younger sister."
Qian Renxue waved her hand at the two, signaling them to retreat, then turned her gaze back to Ye Xi.
"Elder sister, isn't this a bit too extravagant?"
Ye Xi looked at the gift box, then at Qian Renxue, appearing a little embarrassed.
After all, it was their first meeting; Qian Renxue had prepared a gift for her, but she hadn't prepared anything to give to Qian Renxue.
"No matter."
"Open it and see if you like it."
Qian Renxue waved her hand indifferently, motioning for Ye Xi to open the gift box and see.
Ye Xi opened the gift box, revealing an exquisitely crafted hairpin inside; just one glance was enough to tell that it was very valuable.
"How is it? Do you like it?"
"It's made from a very rare warm jade."
Qian Renxue looked at Ye Xi's sparkling eyes, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her beautiful face.
"I like it."
Ye Xi nodded lightly, her gaze carefully examining the hairpin.
"As long as you like it."
Qian Renxue reached out and stroked Ye Xi's hair, finding the texture surprisingly good.
"Thank you, elder sister."
"I didn't prepare anything to give to elder sister."
Ye Xi said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"No matter."
"By the way, why did you suddenly come to Heaven Dou City?"
Qian Renxue got up and poured two cups of clear tea, handing one to Ye Xi.
"I came out for training."
"I came to Heaven Dou City to handle some matters, and also to see if there's anything I can help elder sister with."
"I just didn't expect elder sister to arrive so quickly."
Ye Xi spoke very naturally; her original plan was to train in Heaven Dou City and also to see this elder sister she had never met before.
She truly hadn't expected Qian Renxue to arrive so quickly.
After all, she had only just arrived in Heaven Dou City today.
"Handling matters and helping me?"
"What matters in Heaven Dou City require you to handle?"
"However, you indeed helped me. I was recently planning to write to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to have Yang Wushuang transferred here, but you brought Yang Wushuang over instead."
Qian Renxue took a sip of clear tea, a hint of emotion appearing in her voice.
"Elder sister, the matter I'm handling is a secret for now, I can't tell you. But if you need Yang Wushuang's help, you can have Yang Wushuang go with you."
Ye Xi revealed a mysterious smile, then after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Elder sister, what stage has the Heaven Dou Empire matter progressed to?"
Ye Xi looked at Qian Renxue, a hint of curiosity appearing in her eyes.
"Xue Qinghe is already the Crown Prince. The Second Prince and Third Prince have already been dealt with by me. The remaining Fourth Prince Xue Beng has been taken to Prince Xue Xing's residence."
"Xue Beng is a dissolute playboy and won't affect my plans. Prince Xue Xing seems to have discovered some clues, but the aftermath has been handled, so he can't hinder me either."
"It will still take a long time, perhaps ten years, or perhaps twenty years."
As Qian Renxue spoke, she slowly walked to the window, her gaze quietly fixed on the brilliant starry sky, a strange emotion appearing in her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.
Meanwhile, Ye Xi lightly tapped the headboard with her finger, deep thought appearing in her azure eyes.
Neither of them spoke again, and the room fell silent for a moment, with only the tapping sound of Ye Xi's finger on the headboard echoing continuously in the room.
Ye Xi recalled the original plot, and her azure eyes gradually brightened.
