Crown Prince's Residence, in the secret chamber beneath the main house.
Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised by Broad Hill's words. She was well aware of Broad Hill taking in a disciple. Moreover, she had some information about Han Li, and Qian Daoliu would occasionally write to her, mentioning some related matters in his letters.
However, she didn't expect Han Li to reach level 20 so quickly. His talent was even more terrifying than that of her Twin Martial Souls "sister."
"Grandpa Broad Hill, if I remember correctly, he's only seven years old, not even eight yet, right?"
Qian Renxue felt a strong sense of curiosity. Mainly, her grandfather had mentioned in his letters that Han Li would be her most capable assistant in the future, both in terms of strength and intellect.
"Yes, seven years and five months, but he's not level 20 anymore, he's already level 23. Don't forget, he's the one who discovered that Whale Oil can effectively enhance physical strength in the early stages, and this time, his second Soul Ring absorbed was as high as 3,500 years. Even if his subsequent cultivation is slower, he will definitely reach level 30 by the age of nine."
Broad Hill spoke with pride when mentioning his disciple.
"That's indeed very impressive, his level is almost catching up to mine at the same age."
Although Qian Renxue was praising him, her emotions didn't fluctuate much. Han Li's cultivation was indeed fast, but compared to her at the same age, his level was still a bit behind.
"Haha, if he could catch up to Little Snow, I'd wake up laughing in my sleep."
Broad Hill also said with a smile. Although Qian Renxue's words seemed a bit awkward, he knew that the person in front of him had Innate Spirit Power of level 20. For her to compare her disciple to herself at the same age was already extremely rare.
Seeing Broad Hill's happy expression, Qian Renxue responded with a smile, "Then it seems I need to find some time to return to Spirit City to see this 'Little Uncle-Master' of mine."
"Huh? Didn't you already meet this afternoon?" Broad Hill asked with some surprise.
"Met this afternoon? No, I didn't."
Qian Renxue was also stunned for a moment, searching her mind for the people she had met that afternoon.
"That's not right, I was chatting with him before dinner, and he said that when he went to visit Heaven Dou Royal Academy this afternoon, he met you and Ning Fengzhi's daughter, and he greatly admired your disguise as Xue Qinghe."
Seeing that Qian Renxue's expression didn't seem fake, Broad Hill told her everything he had learned from chatting with Han Li, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Me and Ning Rongrong? Visit, Han Li? Xiao Yan?
With Broad Hill's reminder, Qian Renxue extracted the corresponding character images from her memory.
"So that was him, I really didn't recognize him. Grandpa Broad Hill, your disciple is really, um, cautious. When I asked him his name, he told me he was called Xiao Yan, and he even acted like he was being won over by my loyalty."
Qian Renxue said speechlessly. She had heard a lot from Qian Daoliu's letters that Han Li's thinking and behavior were somewhat different from ordinary people. But she didn't expect that he would actually report a fake name in Heaven Dou Royal Academy, even acting in front of the crown prince, putting on a very naive appearance.
"Xiao Li's personality is a bit different from ordinary people, haha, I'll talk to him properly when I get back."
Broad Hill smiled embarrassedly. He didn't expect Han Li to have played such a trick, especially in front of Qian Renxue, and the key was that he hadn't made it clear to him, which was a bit awkward.
However, he thought of what Han Li had said later and immediately made amends, "But his evaluation of you was quite high, what was it called, oh, right, 'Like jade among men, a peerless gentleman,' and he also said that you have a very good temperament, are very approachable, and have the demeanor of a leader."
"'Like jade among men, a peerless gentleman,' he does have good taste."
Qian Renxue was, after all, just a teenage girl, and she was now in front of someone she was very close to. Having been in a state of suppression, she didn't hide her emotions.
Even though Han Li's praise was directed at the Xue Qinghe she was disguised as, she couldn't help but smile. To receive such an evaluation meant that her disguise was perfect.
Well, I'll temporarily ignore the fact that Han Li lied to me. After all, he's in Heaven Dou City, and he's just being cautious, which is completely understandable.
However, he still has some small flaws. I'll find a reason to transfer the guards and that staff member away from the academy later, and also change the registered name to Xiao Yan, so that I can ensure everything is foolproof, Qian Renxue thought secretly in her heart.
"Little Snow? Little Snow?"
Seeing that Qian Renxue didn't know what she was thinking, Broad Hill waved his hand in front of her eyes.
"Are you too tired? I still have to stay in Heaven Dou City for a few days, or should you rest today and I'll come see you another day?" Broad Hill thought she was tired and took the initiative to suggest.
"No, Grandpa Broad Hill, I was just thinking about something, it's nothing." Qian Renxue woke up from her thoughts and returned a sweet smile.
Speaking of which, among the Elders of the Elder Hall, Broad Hill had the best relationship with her besides her grandfather. Although the others also loved her very much, the others were more calm and steady.
Only Broad Hill would carelessly "secretly" accompany her to play when she was a child, which was why she was so happy when she saw Broad Hill. It was just a pity that she had grown up and was still carrying out an undercover plan, so she couldn't be as willful as before.
"Little Snow, if one day you get tired of it, just go back, no one will blame you. You should be as radiant as an angel, it doesn't matter if this mission isn't carried out."
Broad Hill noticed a trace of loneliness hidden deep in her eyes and said directly.
Hearing Broad Hill's words, Qian Renxue's eyes were a little moist. She could hear that Broad Hill was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
She quickly turned her head away, controlled the sourness in her nose, and after a while, she turned her head back with a smile, putting on a relaxed appearance, "Don't worry, Grandpa Broad Hill, I can do it. This is the last plan left by my father, and I don't want to give up easily, and I also want to prove to that woman that this plan is not useless."
Looking at her, Broad Hill sighed, no longer mentioning the matter, but changed to a lighter topic, and laughter was heard from the secret room from time to time.
It wasn't until the sky outside was slightly bright that Ci Tun re-entered the secret room, reminding the two that it was almost time. Qian Renxue reluctantly sent Broad Hill to the door of the room.
Although she hadn't slept all night, Qian Renxue's face showed no signs of fatigue. On the contrary, she was in better spirits than before, and her mood was obviously much better.
"Alright, Your Highness, I'll go first. In the next few days, I'll be taking Han Li to stroll around Heaven Dou City, so I won't come to see you for now. Take care of yourself. Also, remember what I said, no one will blame you, understand?" Broad Hill pulled up his hood again and said softly before leaving.
"Yes, I understand, Elder Broad Hill."
This time, Qian Renxue's emotions were no longer exposed. She had returned to Xue Qinghe's appearance. Moreover, in front of Ci Tun and She Mao, as proud as she was, she was unwilling and would not show a weak side. She was the pride of the Qian Family and the future master of the Spirit Hall.
"Okay, then I'll go first. Before I prepare to leave, I will have someone send a message over."
After Broad Hill finished speaking, he turned around and looked in the direction of Ci Tun and She Mao.
"You two, protect His Highness."
"Yes, Lord Elder." Ci Tun and She Mao nodded heavily.
After saying that, Broad Hill didn't say anything more. Taking advantage of the fact that the sky hadn't completely brightened, he concealed his aura and headed towards the Spirit Hall.
Qian Renxue, no, Xue Qinghe ignored the two Titled Douluo and stood in the courtyard for a long time until the servants cautiously came to remind him that it was time to wash up.
Only then did he turn around, responding to the servant with a smile as usual, and began a new day.
