Chapter 147 Reunion, Forcing Qian Renxue
Shui Yu'er, however, did not take it to heart.
Who knows if Qin Mu was serious or just trying to comfort them?
However, there was nothing she could do about it.
The Crown Prince of the Empire personally came to propose marriage; if Qin Mu hadn't been present today, they really wouldn't have been able to refuse.
If she were to marry into the family so hastily and without proper understanding, it would be a devastating blow to the Shui family.
Although Qin Mu's intervention has temporarily put the marriage on hold, at least Shui Bing'er's marriage is no longer a concern.
Of course, this is only a temporary measure.
The only way to break this deadlock right now is to get Shui Bing'er married off quickly, so as to dispel the Crown Prince's idea.
However, marriage is not something that can be decided on a whim.
Where in the world can you find such an outstanding boy?
As Shui Yu'er pondered this, she turned her gaze to Qin Mu.
"Sigh, if only Qin Mu could really take a liking to my Bing'er..."
Shui Bing'er happened to be near Shui Yu'er at that moment, and Shui Yu'er's mutterings were clearly heard by Shui Bing'er.
Her gaze unconsciously drifted to Qin Mu beside her. She saw that Qin Mu's face showed no worry whatsoever, as if he was very confident in handling what had just happened.
It was this confident aura that made Qin Mu incredibly charming.
Recalling what Shui Yu'er had just said, Shui Bing'er's face instantly flushed.
Qin Mu naturally had no idea what the two women were thinking.
After watching all the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Family leave the Shui family's gate, Qin Mu looked in the direction of the gate, smiled slightly, and then stood up.
"Master Shui, it is getting late. Would the three of us be able to stay another night at the Shui family's residence?"
"Of course! Not just one night, I'd do it for several nights!"
Upon hearing this, Shui Yu'er quickly responded and then instructed her servants to prepare the guest rooms.
After saying that, Qin Mu turned to Ling Yuan and Yue Guan.
"I need to go out for a while. You can wait for me at the Shui family's house."
"You don't need the two of us to come with you? Are you sure you can manage on your own?"
Understanding the meaning behind Qin Mu's words, Ling Yuan frowned and said with some worry.
"Don't worry, don't forget I'm not that weak anymore!"
After saying that, Qin Mu smiled, patted Ling Yuan on the shoulder, and walked out of the Shui family.
Qin Mu didn't know the exact location, but fortunately, these people were very recognizable.
Qin Mu wasn't in a hurry to find them. Before it got completely dark, he took a stroll around the city of Northern City.
After waiting until there were only a few pedestrians on the street, Qin Mu headed towards the largest hotel in Northern City.
As Qin Mu expected, the entire hotel had been booked out, and several carriages were parked at the entrance, just like the ones parked in front of the Shui family's house earlier.
Clearly, the group that booked this hotel was the same one that Qian Renxue and her party had just left.
At the hotel entrance, two people were guarding the entrance. Sensing that the two were only Soul Emperors, Qin Mu thought for a moment and then went around to the back of the hotel.
With Qin Mu's mental power, he was still able to sense the guards hidden in the corner.
Qin Mu did not choose to knock them unconscious. Instead, he lowered his aura to a minimum and, under the cover of night, made his way to the hotel rooftop.
The entire operation went too smoothly, which made Qin Mu a little suspicious.
Once again releasing his mental energy to explore the surrounding situation, Qin Mu suddenly turned his gaze to a direction to his side and rear.
After staring for a few seconds, Qin Mu withdrew his gaze and continued to sense the situation inside the hotel.
A moment later, Qin Mu located a room in the hotel and then slipped inside through the window.
After entering the room, Qin Mu made no attempt to conceal his actions.
He casually closed the window, walked straight to the table in the room, picked up the teapot, poured himself a full cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and even smacked his lips after finishing.
"Hehe, as expected of a genius that the Spirit Hall sees only once in a century, you are indeed bold and meticulous in your actions!"
"You just barged into my room like that, aren't you afraid there might be an ambush inside?"
"That way I can kill you on the spot!"
Behind Qin Mu, Qian Renxue had already appeared there at some point.
"Alright, stop pretending. Let's get straight to the point and not waste each other's time!"
As he spoke, Qin Mu tossed the Angel Token from his pocket onto the table.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly, and soon she walked to the opposite side of Qin Mu and sat down as well.
"When did you find out who I am?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu could only roll his eyes.
He couldn't very well tell Qian Renxue that he already knew about this, could he?
However, Qin Mu still gave a perfunctory answer.
"It was the angel's order that told me."
"Ever since you appeared at the Shui family's residence, the Angel Order has been able to sense your approximate location."
"At first I wasn't sure, but after I entered the Shui family and saw your aura, I immediately knew that you were the person I was looking for!"
However, this answer clearly did not satisfy Qian Renxue.
With a furrowed brow, Qian Renxue looked at Qin Mu and said.
"You can make that judgment with just one glance? That's a bit too frivolous!"
"You can't judge just by one glance!"
Qin Mu toyed with the Angel Token in his hand, his gaze fixed on Qian Renxue in front of him.
"You first used Shui Bing'er's marriage to argue with me, and then pretended to back down, giving people the impression that you would come back to take revenge at any time."
"Furthermore, you clearly said that there were matters to attend to in the palace, and that you could definitely make it back today given your speed, but you chose to stay here for the night instead."
"Clearly, your claim that something happened in the palace is a lie! Your real purpose is to wait for someone!"
"And if I'm not mistaken, the person you're waiting for is me!"
Qin Mu's logical and reasoned analysis surprised Qian Renxue.
After all, that wasn't what she really meant at the time; it was just a lucky accident.
However, Qian Renxue did not argue, but her gaze towards Qin Mu was filled with even more desire to conquer.
"As expected of the person Grandpa chose, you are indeed outstanding!"
Qian Renxue almost never praised anyone, especially not men.
For the first time in over twenty years, Qian Renxue praised a man, and she thought Qin Mu would be somewhat pleased, but Qin Mu acted as if he hadn't heard her and continued drinking his tea.
"I'm saying, are you still going to talk to me like this? You're not being very sincere!"
"If you insist on not revealing your true identity, then I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, Qin Mu immediately made a move to leave.
"This is top secret! There can't be the slightest mistake! How can it be revealed here?"
Qian Renxue frowned, clearly disliking the feeling of being led by the nose by Qin Mu.
"You still think you can fool me?"
"The aura of your entire room has been isolated. No one but a Title Douluo would be able to detect it."
"What's more, there's a Title Douluo who didn't show up earlier near your room!"
"With such protection, how could you possibly be exposed?!"
