Chapter 256 Qian Renxue's Changes
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
After a series of sweet and intimate conversations between the women.
Liu Erlong gradually lowered his guard against Qian Renxue and even began to like this innocent girl who was like an angel, truly treating her as a younger sister.
Qian Renxue's opinion of Liu Erlong also changed.
To her surprise, she discovered that Liu Erlong was not as hot-tempered, irritable, and bloodthirsty as the rumors suggested.
What she felt from Liu Erlong, besides his unwavering straightforwardness, was a tenderness akin to maternal love.
They walked arm in arm, chatting happily. Qian Renxue realized that Liu Erlong was a rather straightforward woman with a relatively simple mind. On the surface, she was direct and cheerful, but in her heart, she was as gentle as water.
That straightforward yet gentle personality gave Qian Renxue a unique feeling—like a mother, a sister, and a friend all at once.
In short, they are exceptionally easy to get along with.
Therefore, Qian Renxue's impression of Liu Erlong improved more and more, and she called out "Sister Erlong" more and more smoothly.
However, Qian Renxue remained cautious and wary of Liu Erlong.
After a heartfelt conversation about sisterly affection, she was led by Liu Erlong to tour almost every corner of Liu Erlong's house.
Then they discovered that Liu Erlong and Ye Qifeng lived very close to each other, separated only by a wall.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but mutter to herself in response:
"They live so close together, separated only by such a thin wall. Doesn't that mean they have absolutely no privacy? With just a little sensing, they could tell what the other is doing."
"Second Sister's house clearly has so many rooms, why did she specifically arrange for Xiao Feng to be placed in the room next to hers? Does she have ulterior motives?"
"Also, the way she looks at Xiaofeng seems a bit too gentle, doesn't it? Every time she looks at Xiaofeng, the corners of her mouth can't help but curl into a smile, giving off a feeling of looking at her lover, which is really strange."
"As expected, we still can't let our guard down around Sister Erlong!" Qian Renxue finally came to this conclusion.
Liu Erlong had no idea what Qian Renxue was thinking.
During their previous intimate conversation, Liu Erlong had already realized that Qian Renxue was just an ordinary friend of Ye Qifeng, at most a childhood sweetheart. Once she was certain that Qian Renxue posed no threat to Ye Qifeng, she felt relieved.
After entertaining Qian Renxue, Liu Erlong remembered her promise to her best friend Ye Huiyin. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go to Haitang Medical Clinic to visit Ye Huiyin as planned.
"Xiao Feng, I'm going to Haitang Clinic. Do you want to come with me?"
Before leaving, Liu Erlong asked Ye Qifeng in a gentle tone.
"I think I'll pass."
Ye Qifeng pondered for a moment, glanced at Qian Renxue, shook his head slightly, and then added softly:
"Oh, by the way, Sister Erlong, please give my regards to Sister Ye."
"Okay, I'll pass it on for you." Liu Erlong nodded slightly, as if she had expected Ye Qifeng's answer.
"Huh? Begonia Clinic? Who's Sister Ye? Why is there another sister here?"
At this moment, Qian Renxue, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt a tightness in her heart as she listened to the conversation between the two, and hurriedly pricked up her ears.
Just then, Liu Erlong's gaze fell upon her, and his gentle voice rang out:
"Little Xue'er, what about you? I'm planning to visit a good friend. Would you like to come with me? I can introduce you to another older sister."
"Good friend? Sister? This must be the Sister Ye that Xiao Feng mentioned. So she's Liu Erlong's good friend. That's alright then," Qian Renxue thought to herself.
Then she smiled at Liu Erlong and answered softly:
"No, Sister Erlong, I won't disturb your time with your friends. I came here today mainly to see Xiaofeng."
"Okay, then you and Xiaofeng have fun."
Liu Erlong smiled slightly and waved her hand dismissively. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she leaned closer to Qian Renxue, her sexy red lips close to her ear, and asked in a gentle tone:
"By the way, Xue'er, you should be quite familiar with Heaven Dou City, right?"
"Hmm." Qian Renxue nodded in agreement. "I'm fairly familiar with it."
She was certainly familiar with Tiandou City; it was the capital of the Tiandou Empire and the center of political power.
As the crown prince of the empire, the Heavenly Prince, being familiar with every area of the capital is a basic political skill.
"Why did you ask that, sister?" Qian Renxue asked in surprise.
That's right.
Liu Erlong explained, "Xiao Feng has only been in Tian Dou City for a short time and is not yet familiar with it. I was busy with other things a few days ago and didn't have time to take Xiao Feng out for a proper tour."
"Since you've come looking for Xiaofeng today, I'd like to ask you to take Xiaofeng around sometime if you have the time."
"I see."
Qian Renxue understood immediately, her eyes lighting up as she smiled sweetly at her delicate face and quickly replied, "No problem, I have time."
"Then I'll leave it to you." A smile bloomed on Liu Erlong's beautiful and poised face. She turned to Ye Qifeng and gave him the same instruction:
"Xiao Feng, I'm entrusting Xue'er to you."
"Okay, Sister Erlong, I understand." Ye Qifeng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"I'll be going now."
After giving his instructions, Liu Erlong left with a single sentence and finally felt relieved, heading towards the Haitang Medical Clinic in the eastern part of the city.
After seeing Liu Erlong out the door and watching her walk away, Ye Qifeng withdrew his gaze, turned his head, and glanced at Qian Renxue, who was standing gracefully to the side.
At this moment, Qian Renxue's hands, which had just waved goodbye to Liu Erlong, were now behind her back. Her gaze was fixed on the direction Liu Erlong had left, her eyes slightly narrowed, a smile playing on her lips, quiet and serene, as if she were thinking about something.
Recalling the time that Qian Renxue and Liu Erlong spent together during that short period of time, Ye Qifeng felt extremely incredulous.
He never expected that two people who were originally unrelated and had very different personalities would get along so well, so naturally, and so harmoniously on their first meeting.
Better than I imagined.
Moreover, after Qian Renxue reverted to her female form, the personality she displayed was completely different from that of her childhood self and from the time she was in the secret room.
As a child, she was overprotected by Qian Daoliu, and her life was almost entirely confined to the small area near the Hall of Worship. She had never seen the outside world, so she was relatively simple-minded, had a bit of a princess complex, was arrogant, a little domineering, and occasionally unreasonable.
In the secluded room, after several years of political experience, she became more proud, more domineering, more unwilling to admit defeat, and more patient and decisive.
But at this time, she was different.
His pride, domineering nature, unwillingness to admit defeat, forbearance, and decisiveness were nowhere to be seen.
Instead, she exudes a youthful charm and playfulness, and even a touch of gentleness, though it may just be my imagination.
Gazing at Qian Renxue's beautiful face, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but wonder, is this the Qian Renxue I know?
Ye Qifeng began to silently ponder the reasons that caused Qian Renxue's personality to change so drastically from her original fate.
Perhaps she is still young and has not yet grown up to be what her destiny should have been?
Or perhaps the influence of political indoctrination is not that great, and a value system that prioritizes self-interest has not yet developed.
Or perhaps it was because of my appearance that the fates of those connected to me were altered to some extent, which is why Qian Renxue grew into her current personality.
Speaking of which, Liu Erlong doesn't seem to be the same Liu Erlong anymore; her personality has changed drastically.
The fiery, irritable, and aggressive temperament that was originally supposed to be present has been tempered, leaving only a few traces of straightforwardness. What is now displayed is more gentleness and peace.
It seems that my appearance caused her fate to deviate, and her personality was also affected and changed because of me.
In the end, Ye Qifeng came to a conclusion.
The Qian Renxue before me is a completely new Qian Renxue, with a fate entirely different from the original Qian Renxue.
This shows that her fate had already been altered.
This includes Liu Erlong.
The fates of many people in the Spirit Hall, including teachers Bibi Dong, the little fox Hu Liena, the Ninth Sister Nihuang, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Xie Yue, and Yan, were all altered in the unseen world.
Whether this change is for the better is currently unknown.
But Ye Qifeng will definitely work hard to make all these changes turn out for the better and lead them to a better outcome.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Noticing that Ye Qifeng's gaze remained fixed on her face, Qian Renxue couldn't help but blush.
"It's nothing."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng paused for a moment, shook his head, dispelled the wandering thoughts in his mind, and casually withdrew his gaze.
"Hmph~~ You little rascal, Feng. Are you mesmerized by my beauty? Can't help but want to take a few more glances, can you?"
Qian Renxue gave a soft snort in her heart, pouting her lips as if she was dissatisfied, but in fact she was extremely happy and wished he would look at her more and become infatuated with her.
"Let's go back to the inner room first."
After Ye Qifeng finished speaking, he closed the door and turned to walk into the inner room.
"Finally, it's just the two of us left."
Qian Renxue followed behind him, slightly behind, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Back in the living room.
The two sat down facing each other on the sofa.
Ye Qifeng took two teacups from the tea table and poured two cups of previously heated tea.
Steam rose from the coffee table, filling the air with the aroma of tea.
Its fragrance carries a hint of herbal scent, mixed with the aroma of crabapple blossoms, creating an exceptionally unique and unforgettable aroma.
Fragrant tea seems to have a calming and soothing effect; the aroma it emits is refreshing and delightful.
"This is a specialty fragrant tea from the Ye family of Nine-Heart Begonia, it smells of begonia, doesn't it?!"
Qian Renxue smelled the fragrance emanating from the tea and her eyes suddenly lit up. She recognized the variety and origin of the tea.
"Xue'er, do you know her?" Ye Qifeng looked up in surprise.
Think about it.
After all, she was the crown prince of the Tiandou royal family, and it was normal for her to have tasted almost all the rare and precious teas.
Qian Renxue is right, this is indeed the specialty tea of the Nine Heart Begonia Ye family, Begonia Fragrance.
The fragrant tea was a gift from Ye Huiyin to Liu Erlong, and there are quite a few in the family.
Earlier, when Liu Erlong and Qian Renxue were in the room talking about women's private matters, Ye Qifeng, having nothing to do, brewed a pot of tea.
However, just as it was finished cooking, Liu Erlong left home for the Begonia Clinic, without getting a sip. But when she went to Ye Huiyin's place, she had no shortage of Begonia Fragrance to drink.
"Yes, I've had it."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, then explained softly:
"The Begonia Fragrance of the Ye Family of Nine Hearts Begonia is a specialty of their family. The tea is carefully cultivated using the Begonia Flower, a secondary martial soul of the Nine Hearts Begonia passed down in the family."
"Its unique flavor, with a tea aroma containing a distinctive herbal fragrance and crabapple blossom scent, is highly favored because of its calming and soothing effects."
"However, the production of Begonia Fragrance is not large, and it is not exported. Most of it is exclusively for the Ye family of Nine Heart Begonia to drink themselves, and only a small amount is given away as gifts."
"Therefore, it is extremely precious and rare."
"However, as the rulers of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Heaven Dou royal family naturally received the Begonia Fragrance from the Ye family. I have drunk quite a lot of it, so I recognized it as soon as I smelled the fragrance."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue suddenly paused and murmured to herself:
"Nine-Heart Begonia, the Ye family, Begonia Clinic, Sister Ye."
"Oh, I see."
After a moment, she understood the connection and asked Ye Qifeng:
"So, Sister Erlong's good friend is from the Ye family of the Nine-Heart Begonia?"
"That's right. Erlong's good friend is actually one of the only two remaining inheritors of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul in the world, and also the head of the Ye family of the Nine Heart Begonia, Ye Huiyin."
Ye Qifeng didn't hide it from him.
"Oh, it was her." Qian Renxue realized upon hearing this.
She also knew something about Ye Huiyin.
I've heard that she is gentle in nature but extremely intelligent, with a great talent for handling family affairs. Despite being a frail woman, she manages the Ye family of Nine Heart Begonia in an orderly manner, earning the admiration and respect of everyone in the Ye family.
When Qian Renxue first heard of Ye Huiyin, she was quite surprised and therefore sent someone to investigate her information.
"By the way, why do you call her Sister Ye? Do you also acknowledge her as your sister?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked, her eyebrows raised and her tone slightly angry.
"Huh? No."
Ye Qifeng paused for a moment, then, seeing Qian Renxue's somewhat angry expression, quickly explained:
"Sister Ye is Erlong's good friend, and she's about the same age as Erlong. Shouldn't you call her 'sister'?"
"It's not what you think. I didn't acknowledge her as my older sister."
"I told you, I have Ninth Sister and Second Sister, that's enough for me. I won't acknowledge any other sisters."
"Really?" Qian Renxue lowered her raised eyebrows slightly.
"Of course." Ye Qifeng broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself, could it be that Xiao Xue'er is still thinking about her sister? Why does she react so sensitively whenever the word "sister" is mentioned?
"Xue'er, what do you think of the Ye family of the Nine-Heart Begonia?"
Instead of continuing to dwell on her sister's issue, Ye Qifeng changed the subject and asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue carefully recalled the information about the Ye family of the Nine-Heart Begonia.
