The Young Master is of such a noble status, how can he do a servant's work?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snake Lance only gave a wry smile, shaking his head at Porcupinefish—then gestured subtly toward the courtyard wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already keenly sensed—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a pure, holy radiance of Light was beginning to bloom from Xue Qinghe's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash, the two vanished over the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Spirit Power surged outward, silently sealing off the courtyard's perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the courtyard—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a single plum petal drifted down onto Xue Qinghe's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the point of that touch, Light Spirit Power spread like flowing water, gradually enveloping her entire form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the holy radiance slowly receded—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crown prince's robes were gone, replaced by a long dress of interwoven platinum lace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden hair cascaded like a waterfall, framing a peerlessly beautiful face that could topple kingdoms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Qinghe no longer stood there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, beneath the plum tree, was Qian Renxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing unchanged—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the gaze lingering upon the sleeping youth, still tender and full of yearning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian slept exceptionally soundly.

So—I came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phrase 'you wanted to see me' carried a delicate ambiguity. Just speaking it made her heart tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was indeed what Li Zhexian had told her, as Qinghe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to see whether he treated her and \"Xue Qinghe\" with the same sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Zhexian… if you only say one thing to one person, and another to another… hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Renxue bit lightly at her lip, but this time she did not shy away from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, she bravely lifted her lashes and met his gaze head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within her brilliant eyes lay both tension and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that luminous stare—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Zhexian simply nodded, openly acknowledging it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.
