Chapter 145 A Disagreement! Conflict with Qian Renxue
"Why not?"
"I came to the Shui family for no particular reason."
"As the backbone of the empire, the Tianshui Academy established by the Shui family has provided the empire with so many talented individuals, so it is only natural that I should extend my regards."
"I wonder what brings Brother Qin Mu to the Shui family this time?"
Qian Renxue's answer was flawless, portraying her as a benevolent crown prince who loved his people like his own children.
Of course, Qian Renxue's arrival at the Shui family was also inextricably linked to Qin Mu.
Qian Renxue was naturally present during the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament. She witnessed Qin Mu first fight Tang San's fused weapon spirit true body, and then beat Tang Hao, the murderer who killed her father. Qian Renxue's interest in Qin Mu gradually increased.
Then, news of Qin Mu absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring for his sixth soul ring reached Qian Renxue's ears, which made her extremely interested in Qin Mu.
She was eager to know what kind of man could be even more outstanding than her.
So, following the guidance of the angel's decree, she followed it all the way to Northern City.
Meanwhile, through her intelligence, she learned that Qin Mu had lived in the Shui family for a period of time, which made Qian Renxue curious and come here, hoping to learn about Qin Mu's deeds.
Unexpectedly, Qin Mu barged in shortly after she joined the Shui family.
Looking at Qin Mu before her, Qian Renxue's eyes showed a hint of amazement.
It's not just because of his outstanding appearance, but also because of the aura he exudes.
That aura was almost identical to her own!
But how old is Qin Mu in front of me? Eighteen?
She's almost twenty-five years old!
While possessing a cultivation level similar to her own, Qin Mu also possessed a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone.
This is the first time that Qian Renxue is not confident of victory against her peers.
Even if it were someone else, with a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone, Qian Renxue was confident that she could fight back with the power of her Angelic Martial Soul.
But the person before her not only possessed a Clear Sky Hammer martial soul as powerful as her own, but was also strong enough to defeat a seventh-ring soul master.
Now that someone like him is at the same level as her, can she really be his match?
The worry in her heart gradually turned into admiration for Qin Mu, and eventually evolved into a desire to conquer Qin Mu.
That's right, only a genius like Qin Mu is worthy of being my husband!
Qin Mu had no idea what Qian Renxue was thinking.
"Bing'er and I are friends. We haven't seen each other for a while. I happened to be in the area on some business, so I thought I'd drop by to see her."
Qin Mu smiled slightly in response to Qian Renxue.
However, Qin Mu's words sounded rather harsh to Qian Renxue.
A friend? Look at her?
Before Qian Renxue could say anything more, Shui Bing'er walked back into the reception room with a cup of tea, walked around to Qin Mu's side and placed the teacup on the coffee table to his right.
"Qin Mu, have some tea! It's your favorite tea, I brewed it especially for you!"
Shui Bing'er leaned close to Qin Mu's ear and whispered something, making them appear to outsiders to be very close.
"Thanks."
Qin Mu returned Shui Bing'er's smile, but this caused Qian Renxue's expression to change slightly.
Recalling the information she had gathered—that Qin Mu had stayed at the Shui family's residence for a period of time—Qian Renxue immediately misunderstood.
Although she hadn't interacted much with Qin Mu, in her opinion, only the most outstanding man on the continent was worthy of her.
Qin Mu was the person Qian Renxue found to be the most suitable.
Even though the two haven't made any progress yet, they're still unfamiliar with each other, and Qin Mu hasn't even seen Qian Renxue's true face.
But Qian Renxue had already come to regard Qin Mu as her husband.
With this mindset of wanting to possess Qin Mu exclusively, Qian Renxue watched as Qin Mu flirted with another woman right before her eyes.
This feeling was no different to her than her husband cheating on her in front of her.
"Brother Qin Mu, your relationship with Shui Bing'er seems to be quite good!"
Qian Renxue forced a smile and continued speaking, suppressing her anger.
Qin Mu picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, without responding to Qian Renxue's words.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue's anger finally reached its peak.
"Patriarch Shui Yu'er, I have indeed come here on a very important matter."
Qian Renxue stood up and spoke to Shui Yu'er, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Your Highness, please speak plainly! Since we are people of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is our duty to share your burdens!"
Shui Yu'er also stood up and responded.
Qian Renxue smiled slightly, looked at Shui Bing'er who was secretly watching Qin Mu from behind, and said.
"Actually, I came here mainly to introduce Shui Bing'er to a marriage!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yu'er all couldn't help but change their expressions.
As the head of the Shui family and also Shui Bing'er's closest confidante, Shui Yu'er could naturally see that Shui Bing'er had feelings for Qin Mu.
However, their relationship is currently only somewhat ambiguous and has not yet developed into anything substantial, yet Qian Renxue is about to marry Shui Bing'er off.
When a prince comes to their remote Shui family to propose marriage, does Shui Yu'er dare to say a word against it?
Shui Bing'er's face was also pale, and her hands were tightly entangled together.
Shui Bing'er was well aware of what Qian Renxue's matchmaking meant.
Even if she doesn't want to at all, no one will care.
After all, not giving face to a crown prince is tantamount to offending the future Heaven Dou Empire.
Is there any chance that the Shui family will survive after this?
For a moment, Shui Bing'er didn't know what to do.
Sitting to the side, Qin Mu also didn't know what Qian Renxue meant, but after thinking for a moment, he still spoke up.
"Your Highness Xue Qinghe, who do you intend to betroth Bing'er to?"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Shui Bing'er's eyes.
Perhaps, Princess Xue Qinghe intends to introduce herself to Qin Mu!
Clinging to this one in ten thousand chance, Shui Bing'er stared intently at Qian Renxue.
However, Qian Renxue never glanced at Shui Bing'er again from beginning to end.
"Among the vassal kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire, there is a prince who is about the same age as Shui Bing'er. I wonder what Shui Bing'er thinks?"
As soon as Qian Renxue finished speaking, Shui Bing'er's face turned deathly pale.
The person recommended by Qian Renxue was not only an illegitimate prince, but also had a very unrestrained lifestyle, spending his days indulging in pleasure and listening to music in brothels.
However, before she could say anything more, Qin Mu suddenly stood up and said with a serious expression, "I disagree!"
Shui Yu'er and Shui Bing'er dared not interrupt anymore. After all, they couldn't afford to offend either side in the current situation.
They could only hope that Qin Mu could successfully persuade Qian Renxue.
