Chapter 90: Ye Feng Wants to Force Qian Renxue to Show Up
Ye Feng looked the man up and down, stepped forward, and responded, "I am Ye Feng."
The man examined Ye Feng with a smile and said, "You are indeed a handsome man. Hello, Ye Feng, I am your senior, Xue Qinghe."
"Xue Qinghe?"
"Xue Qinghe?"
"His surname is Xue… Could he be the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire?"
Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Flender, and the others whispered among themselves, trying to figure out Xue Qinghe's identity.
Ning Rongrong stepped forward with a smile and explained, "Yes, he is Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire. He is also my senior brother."
"Big Brother?"
Xiao Wu noticed how Ning Rongrong addressed Xue Qinghe and couldn't help but whisper, "Rongrong, you call him 'Big Brother,' but you also call Ye Feng 'Big Brother'?"
Ning Rongrong walked to Xiao Wu's side, clung to her arm affectionately, and explained, "His Highness the Crown Prince is my father's direct disciple, so he is naturally my senior brother. I also call Ye Feng 'Senior Brother,' but to be precise, I should call him 'Second Senior Brother.'"
Second Senior Brother?
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit weird at the title.
(Damn, why does that sound like some character from Journey to the West? I don't even have a nine-toothed rake as a martial spirit.)
Ning Rongrong nodded and continued, "My father took His Highness the Crown Prince as his apprentice earlier than Grandpa Chen accepted you. Naturally, His Highness is the eldest senior brother, and you're the second senior brother."
Second Senior Brother…
The more Ye Feng heard it, the weirder it sounded.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Flender and Grandmaster bowed respectfully to Xue Qinghe.
"There's no need to be so formal. This isn't a royal event. You are my elders, so you can just call me Qinghe. As for the rest of you, I'm only a few years older, so feel free to call me Brother Xue," Xue Qinghe said with a warm smile.
He had an easygoing demeanor that made people feel at ease. Despite his noble status, he showed no arrogance, and even Tang San couldn't find any flaws in his words.
Among everyone present, only Ye Feng knew Xue Qinghe's true identity.
Xue Qinghe had two reasons for coming today—one of which was to meet Ye Feng, Chen Xin's direct disciple.
Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Ye Feng, can I call you my junior brother from now on?"
Ye Feng didn't respond immediately. He knew that Xue Qinghe wasn't really Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue, the eldest daughter of Spirit Hall. Since Ye Feng hadn't decided on his future path, he didn't know if he wanted to establish a close relationship with Xue Qinghe.
"Is something wrong?" Xue Qinghe asked, a trace of disappointment in his voice.
Ye Feng looked at his master, Chen Xin, then at Ning Fengzhi, and finally back at Xue Qinghe. It was obvious that Ning Fengzhi had no idea that his disciple was actually Qian Renxue in disguise.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng decided to mess with Xue Qinghe a little. He stepped forward, placed a hand on Xue Qinghe's shoulder, and smiled.
"Of course, you can. You are Uncle Ning's direct disciple, and I am my master's disciple. Uncle Ning and my master both belong to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. According to seniority, I should call you Senior Brother."
"Great! From now on, I'll call you Junior Brother," Xue Qinghe said, clearly pleased. Recruiting a genius like Ye Feng would further stabilize his position in the Tiandou Empire.
Ye Feng nodded and stepped closer. A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes as he reached out and pinched Xue Qinghe's arm.
"Not bad. Solid build. The muscles on your arms are pretty damn good. Even… well, even your…"
Your?
What "your"?
The moment Ye Feng said those words, Xue Qinghe's eyes widened slightly, a flash of panic flickering across them.
Because Xue Qinghe was not actually Xue Qinghe—he was Qian Renxue.
Or rather, she was Qian Renxue.
In other words, the person Ye Feng was testing was actually a woman.
Instinctively, Xue Qinghe tried to step back, avoiding Ye Feng's reach.
But Ye Feng had already anticipated that move. The moment Xue Qinghe retreated, Ye Feng's speed increased. Before Xue Qinghe could react, Ye Feng had already reached out and—
Squeeze.
"Hmm… not bad. The muscles are quite firm. Seems like you train a lot." Ye Feng smirked, giving a light pat. "Senior Brother, you're the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, yet you still work so hard on your physique. You're a real role model for our generation."
Xue Qinghe immediately took three steps back, breaking free from Ye Feng's grip. He glared at Ye Feng with a mixture of shock and embarrassment, his face flushing red.
For a split second, Xue Qinghe had the urge to summon his martial spirit and teach Ye Feng a lesson.
Ye Feng had just groped him—no, her—in front of everyone!
This was absolutely unacceptable!
But Xue Qinghe managed to restrain himself. Gritting his teeth, he forced a calm expression onto his face. He took a deep breath and spoke, "With great power comes great responsibility. Others may see being the emperor as the highest honor, but to me, it's an overwhelming pressure. My title constantly reminds me that I must protect the people of the Tiandou Empire and ensure their peace and prosperity."
The people around them nodded in admiration.
Everyone, except for Ye Feng.
Ye Feng secretly marveled at Qian Renxue's self-control. He had literally just grabbed her chest, and she still kept her composure.
She really was a top-tier spy, able to infiltrate the Tiandou Empire for years without being exposed.
More importantly, Ye Feng discovered something shocking—Qian Renxue's spirit bone disguise ability even altered physical touch!
Ye Feng had intentionally made a move to expose Qian Renxue or at least provoke a reaction. But when he touched her, it actually felt like a man's chest.
His gaze shifted to Ning Fengzhi, filled with sympathy.
(No wonder Ning Fengzhi has been fooled for so long. Damn, that angel spirit bone is terrifying. Even the freaking texture can be faked!)
