Chapter 20: Lingxu Waiting for the Snow?

The house Salas arranged for Lingxu's family is quite excellent, with a beautiful environment and all the pavilions and towers one could want.

The Martial Arts Arena, cultivation rooms, and other facilities are also very good.

After looking around, everyone is very satisfied.

While Ling Bufan, Luo Xingyue, and Lingxu were the only ones present, Lingxu said deliberately: "Dad, this Salas seems like a good person; he actually arranged such a great place for us."

Ling Bufan did not seem to agree, saying: "Son, Salas is merely preparing a place to stay; one cannot judge a person's character based on this."

"As for this Salas, you will know in the future; he is not what he appears to be on the surface," Ling Bufan said calmly.

In fact, Lingxu had already seen through it, and in *Douluo*, the evaluation of Salas is that he is cunning and lecherous.

During the introduction earlier, Salas even deliberately asked about the identities of the two maids behind Lingxu.

There were strange glints occasionally flickering in his gaze.

After all, the two maids in Lingxu's household are very beautiful; placed in a crowd, they are definitely goddesses you would remember at a single glance.

Lingxu said: "Dad, why don't we change places? Living here, we might be monitored by Salas."

At this, Ling Bufan said confidently: "He wouldn't dare, not against us."

"Even if he did, I would root it out," Luo Xingyue also said confidently.

Ling Bufan smiled and patted Lingxu's head, saying: "Son, just settle in well from now on. You don't need to worry about these things; we will thoroughly inspect this courtyard."

Being cautious is a habit Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue have formed over a long time.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to serve in the most dangerous Spirit Master teams of the Spirit Empire for so long.

"Alright!"

Lingxu checked the system; there were six days and thirteen hours left until the mission ended.

Within this time, he must appear before Qian Renxue.

I have to go out first and see if I can find Xue Qinghe's residence; at worst, I'll just wait for the rabbit by the tree near the entrance—I don't believe she won't appear in six days.

"Mom, can I go out for a stroll?" Lingxu said.

Luo Xingyue replied: "Of course you can, but since we just arrived today, come back early. I will have Liu'er and Carlos accompany you; be careful."

"Here are 500 Gold Soul Coins; if you want anything, just buy it."

It was a full, large bag; five hundred Gold Soul Coins are not light.

Lingxu did not refuse and immediately put them into his Soul Guidance Device.

Although he already had millions of Gold Soul Coins on him, all obtained from doing Qian Renxue's missions, he certainly had to accept what Luo Xingyue gave him.

Walking on the streets of Heaven Dou City, Lingxu did not go to inquire about the First Prince's residence; if not for himself, he had to consider Qian Renxue.

Lingxu just looked at the surrounding road signs and wandered around.

However, as he wandered, Lingxu arrived at a street not far from the Heaven Dou Empire palace.

From afar, one could see the heavily guarded palace.

Lingxu arrived at a snack stall that was relatively bustling.

Being able to set up shop two or three hundred meters from the palace, the taste shouldn't be too bad.

"Uncle Carlos, Sister Liu'er, let's eat something here," Lingxu said.

"Alright!" Carlos said.

"Young Master, what would you like to eat? I don't know if the food in this Heaven Dou City suits your palate," Liu'er said, looking carefully at the food on the snack stall.

There were more than twenty different types of snacks at the stall, and Lingxu ordered half a portion of everything.

Perhaps due to the location, the prices were a bit high; eating this little bit cost Lingxu three Gold Soul Coins.

However, just as they sat down and hadn't taken a bite, someone said: "Look, that's the First Prince's carriage."

"The First Prince, I know; his residence is in that noble district opposite. I heard the residence was just completed, and he only moved out of the palace to live there in the last few days."

"I know this; according to the rules of our Heaven Dou Empire, princes must move out to live independently when they turn twelve."

"The First Prince was a few months late because of the renovations to his residence."

"Sigh... this First Prince, he's about to turn thirteen, and I heard his soul power is only level 17. His various assessments are all very average; he can't compare to the Second Prince and Third Prince who are a few years younger than him at all."

"I say, is your information outdated? I heard from Uncle Wang next door that the First Prince has been performing very well recently, and Great Emperor Xueye praised him for progressing very quickly."

"It was precisely because of his good performance in these two assessments that His Majesty was happy and allowed him to open his own residence. Before, His Majesty didn't agree because he felt the First Prince didn't have the ability to live independently."

"After these one or two performances, His Majesty saw the First Prince's efforts, and only then did he have the chance to leave the palace."

"So that was the reason he didn't move out before, I understand! But who is this Uncle Wang of yours? How does he know so much information?"

"This..."

While the few were talking, the carriage of the First Prince, Xue Qinghe, slowly passed by them.

The person actually sitting in the carriage was Qian Renxue; at this moment, Qian Renxue felt a sudden stir in her heart.

This was the connection between martial soul and soul.

Only when meeting Lingxu would she have such a feeling.

However, Qian Renxue did not open the carriage curtain.

She was a little afraid, afraid that after seeing Lingxu, she wouldn't be able to control herself.

When the carriage had traveled some distance and this feeling disappeared, Qian Renxue regained her calm.

Could it be that it was just my own psychological effect? I miss Brother Lingxu too much!

Brother Lingxu is far away in Wuhun City, over three thousand kilometers away; how could he come here?

But if Brother Lingxu really came, how would I recognize him!

Qian Renxue's heart was full of thoughts of Lingxu; at this moment, her heart was a bit chaotic.

She was very conflicted.

She hoped Lingxu would come to see her, yet she also somewhat hoped Lingxu would not see her current appearance.

Outside, Lingxu also sensed the presence of Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue had her own reasons for not opening the carriage curtain, and Lingxu did not force himself to stop the carriage just to complete the mission.

If Lingxu wanted to complete the mission, he also needed to ensure the safety of Qian Renxue's Disguise.

But as he thought and thought, a bold idea appeared in Lingxu's mind.

If he were to expose Qian Renxue's identity.

Then this mission would naturally cease to exist.

Qian Renxue could then return to Wuhun City.

She would not need to waste her youth impersonating Xue Qinghe.

After thinking for a long time.

Lingxu ultimately rejected this idea.

If he did that, then he would be too selfish.

Coming to the Heaven Dou Empire to go undercover was something Qian Renxue had chosen herself.

Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, Lingxu could not destroy it on his own.

Even if it were to be destroyed, he would have to persuade Qian Renxue first.

If Qian Renxue insisted, then he would accompany Qian Renxue to the very end, accelerating his cultivation to end the Disguise sooner.

If Qian Renxue were persuaded by him, then they would find a way to escape Heaven Dou City.

It was just that at that time, everything would have to be arranged properly; he could escape himself, but he absolutely could not let his parents bear the danger and consequences.

Lingxu knew the general location of the First Prince's residence, and he lowered his head to start eating the local snacks of Heaven Dou City in large mouthfuls.

Today, Xue'er should also have sensed something, and presumably, she already had some preparation in her heart.

Therefore, Lingxu decided that tomorrow morning he would go outside Qian Renxue's residence to wait for her!
