"A ring storage soul tool?" Crown Prince Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) first eyed the ring Xu Yunhan wore with curiosity, then looked at the ring she had just received in her hand. "This type of storage soul tool is incredibly rare and precious. It would be difficult to acquire even for hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of gold soul coins."

She then glanced at the miniature weapon, even more intrigued. "An offensive soul tool that's almost invisible, let alone one with power comparable to a Soul Saint's. Brother Yun Han, these two items are far too valuable."

Xu Yunhan chuckled, "Just take them. I crafted these myself when I was bored; they aren't that precious."

"You made them?" Qian Renxue's eyes widened in surprise. "Both storage soul tools and offensive soul tools are almost lost arts. Few can craft them, and even then, they're usually of low quality. Brother Yun Han, you are full of mysteries." She was very curious about Xu Yunhan's origins, how he obtained the crafting methods for these items, and the secret behind his rapid cultivation and ability to absorb soul rings beyond his level. However, despite her curiosity, Qian Renxue didn't press for details; she had only mentioned it casually.

Xu Yunhan looked at her meaningfully and asked, "Aren't you curious?"

Qian Renxue smiled, "I am very curious. But everyone has their own secrets; one cannot force them."

"Heh heh, you truly are interesting," Xu Yunhan said. "You, as a friend, I'm determined to have. Take the items, or you're not treating me as a friend."

Qian Renxue gave a sweet smile. "Alright, I'll take them. Thank you, Brother Yun Han. Give me some time, and I'll do my best to obtain that treasure and deliver it to you." It was a gesture of reciprocating politeness, or perhaps, an exchange of tokens of affection. Qian Renxue's goodwill toward Xu Yunhan continued to grow, and the longer they spent together, the more she would be influenced by Xu Yunhan's Charm soul skill.

"No rush, just do your best. If it doesn't work out, don't force it," Xu Yunhan said against his true feelings; he was quite keen on that treasure. It might help him travel to Sea God Island and potentially acquire the Sea God's divine inheritance.

The atmosphere grew increasingly pleasant. The two ate and drank, chatting and laughing. After the meal, they continued to drink tea and talk.

The Tang San Revelation

Xu Yunhan proactively brought up the topic: "Do you know Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao?"

This question made Qian Renxue's expression subtly change. In her understanding, she had been told that her father, Qian Xunji, was killed by Tang Hao. "Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, I've heard of him," Qian Renxue composed herself and said. "Have you met him?"

Xu Yunhan shook his head. "No, I haven't. But I've met his son, Tang San, a genius with twin martial spirits."

"Tang San? Twin martial spirits?" Qian Renxue was shocked. Someone actually possessed twin martial spirits, just like her mother, Bibi Dong, whom she had inexplicably disliked since childhood. Qian Renxue was the daughter of Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji, but for various reasons, Bibi Dong had disliked this daughter from a young age, wishing she had never existed. Thus, the mother-daughter relationship was very strained.

Xu Yunhan nodded. "That's right. Although Tang San thinks he hides it well, he can't hide it from me. He has the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit and the Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit. Both are martial spirits of extremely high quality. If he becomes a Titled Douluo in the future, he will certainly be invincible! Moreover, Tang San also has innate full soul power and high talent, so becoming a Titled Douluo won't be difficult." This was Xu Yunhan's way of exposing Tang San's secrets to Qian Renxue, hoping she would inform Spirit Hall, perhaps leading to Tang San and his father being dealt with.

"The Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, I can understand that. But the Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit, I haven't heard of it," Qian Renxue said, feigning mere curiosity. But inwardly, she took it seriously. Tang San and his father were her "father's killers." She couldn't allow them, especially Tang San, to grow powerful.

Xu Yunhan continued, "The Blue Silver Emperor is the emperor among Blue Silver Grass. Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit comes from Tang Hao, while his Blue Silver Emperor martial spirit comes from his mother. And his mother is a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, a Blue Silver Emperor, who transformed into human form!"

What explosive news! Qian Renxue knew that hundred-thousand-year soul beasts could transform into human form, but she hadn't expected them to be able to have children with humans! This shattered Qian Renxue's understanding. "A hundred-thousand-year soul beast can actually have offspring with a human!"

"It's normal," Xu Yunhan explained. "After a hundred-thousand-year soul beast transforms into human form and cultivates anew, it's equivalent to a human. When it reaches the Soul Emperor realm, it enters its maturity period, which is equivalent to fully becoming a human."

Qian Renxue pondered that the past conflict between Spirit Hall and Tang Hao might have been because Tang Hao's wife was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Thinking this way, her father being "killed" by Tang Hao could only be attributed to being inferior in skill. However, the "father-killing" vendetta couldn't be changed. Tang Hao and his son wouldn't forget their hatred either; this unresolved conflict couldn't be untied. Having fought to the death, Qian Renxue knew without a doubt that Tang Hao's soul beast wife must have died. But the hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone were not obtained by Spirit Hall; they were obtained by Tang Hao. Spirit Hall suffered a great loss!

Qian Renxue said, "That's quite surprising; I didn't know such a thing existed. I heard Tang Hao has a grudge against Spirit Hall. Perhaps we can try to win him over for the Heaven Dou Empire's use. Brother Yun Han, do you know where Tang San and his father are now?"

These words were insincere. She was trying to extract the location of Tang San and his father, then arrange for people to kill them.

Xu Yunhan replied, "I was classmates with Tang San at Shrek Academy in Soto City. Later, we had a conflict, and he was taken away by his father, Tang Hao. It's been over two years now, so I don't know where they are. I only know they originally lived in a small place called Holy Soul Village in Nuoding City. I don't know if they're still there now."

Qian Renxue looked deeply at Xu Yunhan. Only upon hearing this did she realize why Xu Yunhan suddenly brought up Tang San and Tang Hao. "Brother Yun Han, do you have a grudge against Tang San?"

"Something like that," Xu Yunhan said nonchalantly. "He harbored fantasies about Xiao Wu, so he treated me as an enemy. I'm somewhat worried that when he grows powerful in the future, he'll come after me and snatch Xiao Wu away. After all, he has twin martial spirits; his potential is immense."

Qian Renxue pondered Xu Yunhan's intentions. Does he perhaps want to use the identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to target Tang San and Tang Hao? But is Tang Hao someone the Heaven Dou Empire imperial family can provoke? Xu Yunhan should understand this logic! Moreover, Xu Yunhan has a close relationship with Ning Rongrong. He could easily use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan to deal with Tang San and Tang Hao. There's no need to tell me, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Or, at the very least, he could tip off Spirit Hall and use their power against Tang San and Tang Hao. Why tell me then? But Xu Yunhan did tell her, and he mentioned it intentionally. Was it to test my attitude? To test if I would try to win over Tang San and Tang Hao after knowing about them? She had indeed mentioned winning over Tang San just now, but Xu Yunhan hadn't reacted unusually. Was it just a test, and my attitude doesn't matter?

No matter how much Qian Renxue thought about it, she couldn't guess that Xu Yunhan knew her true identity, so she remained puzzled. Regardless of whether she understood or not, Qian Renxue first stated her stance: "Brother Yun Han, rest assured, I will always stand by you. Your enemy is my enemy! And, I believe, you will not be inferior to Tang San and Tang Hao in the future. If they come to seek revenge on you, they will certainly be courting death."

She worried Xu Yunhan wouldn't believe her. But Xu Yunhan looked completely trusting and said, "Mm, I believe you!"

Her intuition told Qian Renxue that Xu Yunhan genuinely believed her, but why? On the surface, we are both men, our interests and statuses are different, and we've only met a few times. Why such trust in me? Qian Renxue was puzzled, finding Xu Yunhan increasingly inscrutable. But that didn't stop her increasing goodwill and trust toward Xu Yunhan.

What do you think will happen when Qian Renxue reports back to Spirit Hall about Tang San and Tang Hao?
