That's enough.
Tang Yuehua sighed in her heart and said,
"Xue Qinghe and I are quite familiar. With the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his hands, there's hope of obtaining it."
"He cherishes talents and appreciates scholars. Perhaps after knowing Second Brother's identity, he might be willing to offer the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to win him over."
Tang San was overjoyed upon hearing this and said,
"Aunt, then I'll trouble you to introduce us."
Tang Yuehua nodded and said nothing more.
Crown Princes Mansion.
Qian Renxue had been troubled these past two days. Her current identity prevented her from receiving diary copy rewards, and she had repeatedly questioned the purpose of her trip to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Should she really continue?
Of course.
Qian Renxue had such great determination before, mainly to prove herself to Bibi Dong. She wanted to gain Bibi Dong's recognition.
But now that she had read the diary, her greatest belief had long since vanished. Coupled with the improvements of Hu Liena and others, and Liam's existence, she had been losing motivation recently.
"Reporting to Crown Prince, the Moon Pavilion Master is here to visit."
Qian Renxue heard the guards outside and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
Tang Yuehua?
Why would she suddenly come looking for her? Could it be that she suspected her identity?
That shouldn't be the case!
Liam never revealed it in the diary copy. Although Tang Yuehua knew Tang San's identity, it was impossible for her to know her own identity.
"Let her in!"
Qian Renxue replied and walked out to greet them.
In the courtyard.
Qian Renxue saw two other people accompanying Tang Yuehua: one was disheveled and seemed crazy but had some dignity, and the other was young but looked very steady.
Tang San?
Tang Hao?
In an instant.
Qian Renxue's mind immediately connected them to the father and son, Tang Hao and Tang San. Upon thinking about it further, she even figured out their purpose for coming.
"Crown Prince."
Tang Yuehua led Tang Hao and Tang San in a bow and called out.
Qian Renxue's expression was gentle, and she said softly,
"There are no other people here, Aunt Yuehua, please don't be so formal. Please come inside."
Qian Renxue had disguised herself as Xue Qinghe for so many years, so she was very composed. Even though she guessed that the visitors were Tang Hao and Tang San and felt killing intent in her heart, she didn't show it at all.
Hatred.
She truly hated them.
Liam had clearly written in the diary that the Tang Hao father and son had killed her entire family!
Main hall.
Qian Renxue had someone serve tea to entertain them.
Tang Yuehua introduced them,
"Crown Prince, this is my elder brother, Tang Hao, also known as Haotian Douluo. This is his son, Tang San."
Qian Renxue feigned surprise and said,
"It's actually Haotian Douluo?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, for not coming out to greet you sooner."
Tang Hao's expression was calm as he said,
"Crown Prince is too kind."
After a few polite exchanges, Tang Hao asked, "Crown Prince, it is rumored that the Heaven Dou Empire has a national treasure - the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. May we have a look?"
As expected!
Qian Renxue felt like laughing. You father and son are really like an old lady crawling into bed - you've amused me. You came to me looking for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. I really have to commend you, you're very brave!
Walking right into a trap.
"Haotian Douluo is interested in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said,
"That's right!"
"I am a bit curious, may I borrow it for a look, Crown Prince?"
Qian Renxue didn't reply. She took a sip of tea, thinking to herself, according to Liam's diary content, Tang Hao should be seriously injured right now. Should she just have his father and son killed directly?
Doing so might expose something, but she didn't know if it would be worth it...
At this moment.
Tang San stood up and took something out from his person - the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. He said,
"This is a gift for the Crown Prince on my first visit. It's a weapon I made myself, called the Zhuge Divine Crossbow."
"This item has decent power. If hit head-on, it's almost impossible for anyone below forty Soul Power to survive."
"Oh!"
Qian Renxue sneered in her heart. Tang San, oh Tang San! You really think I, Qian Renxue, am a fool. You want to trade a piece of trash hidden weapon for my Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?
"This thing is quite good. It would be very suitable for auxiliary Soul Masters to use."
Tang San nodded and added,
"This item can be mass-produced and also equipped in the army."
Qian Renxue heard this, looked up at Tang San, and asked,
"You want to trade the manufacturing method of this item for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Tang San didn't expect her to be so direct. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said,
"If the Crown Prince can bear to part with it, not only will I offer the manufacturing blueprint for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, but my father and I are willing to serve the Crown Prince for ten years."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue feigned surprise and said,
"Are you sure?"
"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in exchange for Haotian Douluo's assistance for ten years?"
Tang San looked at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao nodded with a serious expression and said,
"Yes."
"If the Crown Prince can bear to part with it, I, Tang, am willing to serve the Crown Prince for ten years."
Qian Renxue feigned confusion and said, "The use of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is still unknown. You must know its true use, right?"
Tang San thought for a moment and replied,
"Yes, but this item is useless to others; it is only useful to me."
Qian Renxue feigned some hesitation and said in a deep voice, "The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is a national treasure of my Heaven Dou Empire. Although I am the Crown Prince, I have no right to give it away."
"This..."
Tang San felt a little annoyed.
You, the dignified Crown Prince, don't even have this much authority? You can't even make decisions on such a small matter?
Tang Hao also frowned tightly. If he didn't lack strength now, he would have directly taken it by force.
Tang Yuehua remained silent on the side; she also had no way to help with this matter.
"It's not impossible."
Qian Renxue suddenly looked serious and said in a low voice,
"I will put the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud back into the national treasury later. Tonight, I will arrange for someone to take you to steal it from the treasury."
"I believe! With Haotian Douluo's strength, as long as you know the location of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, you should be able to take it from the treasury without anyone noticing!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua was about to explain Tang Hao's situation, but she saw Tang Hao give her a look, signaling her not to reveal anything for now.
"Okay!"
Tang Hao said,
"As the Crown Prince said, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud can be placed in the national treasury, and we will take it without anyone knowing."
"In return, the conditions we offered just now are still valid."
Tang San also nodded and said,
"After obtaining the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Tang San will immediately present the manufacturing blueprint for the Zhuge Divine Crossbow."
Qian Renxue feigned happiness and said,
"The blueprint is not important. To gain the assistance of Haotian Your Majesty is Qinghe's blessing."
Saying that.
Qian Renxue got up and personally poured tea for Tang Hao.
Heh!
How delightful.
Sitting at home, and the enemy delivers themselves to your door.
Wonderful!
Qian Renxue also felt amused in her heart. Stealing from the national treasury - a capital offense.
See you in the Heavenly Prison tomorrow. At that time, I will settle the score properly with you father and son.
