"I see..."
Listening to Arou's explanation, Tang Yuehua suddenly felt embarrassed. She seed to have really misunderstood the relationship between these two people.
But after the embarrassnt, she beca more worried.
"What's wrong?" Arou couldn't help but ask.
Tang Yuehua sighed, "You don't know, he never gets close to girls who take the initiative. Seeing you, I thought he had a special attachnt to older won, so he acted like that, but if you didn't, he might..."
Tang Yuehua seed to be hesitant to speak, looking very conflicted.
"Don't like won?" Ah Rou recalled what Ning Rongrong had said before about the strange relationship between Xuan Ming and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and spoke subconsciously.
But as soon as she said this, she regretted it.
Tang Yuehua looked at Arou with a complicated expression and nodded, "I am indeed a little worried."
She really couldn't help but doubt the weird atmosphere between Xuan Ming and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!
Although such things did happen and she had heard of so of them, she found it hard to accept that Xuan Ming's psychology could be twisted to that extent!
It would be fine if he was interested in older won, but how could he be interested in n!
…
At the sa ti, Xuan Ming had arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
"Are you calm?"
Qian Renxue was sitting in the pavilion, with two cups of tea still steaming on the table.
"Is there sothing wrong?" Xuan Ming walked over and sat down.
"Let first apologize for what happened before. I didn't know you were injured in Wuhun City." Qian Renxue said.
Xuan Ming frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He looked at Qian Renxue intently, paused, and then slowly said: "It's nothing, I was not in a good mood at the ti, I'm sorry."
Qian Renxue was slightly stunned, a little surprised that Xuan Ming did not refute her in a sarcastic tone.
Being so easy to talk to actually blocked all the words she had prepared.
"Is there sothing wrong?" Xuan Ming asked.
"There's a problem." Qian Renxue picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"The next Continental High-Level Soul Master Academy Elite Competition is less than two years away. You were too young for the last one, so I need you to participate this ti."
"Okay, is there anything else?" Xuan Ming said.
Qian Renxue's expression was a little unnatural, "Also, those rumors about you and Xue Qinghe are a little out of control."
"Rumors?" Xuan Ming looked puzzled.
"What rumors?"
Qian Renxue held the teacup and turned her head away. "It's just so gossip between two n."
A tall tree attracts the wind. Xuan Ming's reputation in the Great Fighting Soul Arena has brought him great prestige, but it has also magnified many of his problems.
When it cos to such influential figures, what people are most interested in is always gossip.
Xuan Ming spent most of his ti concentrating on cultivation and had almost no social activities or outings. Even if everyone wanted to find so topics to talk about, they really couldn't find any.
This was considered nitpicking, and the strange relationship between Xuan Ming and Xue Qinghe was exaggerated by everyone's discussion.
At first everyone just treated it as a joke, but now, because there has been no definite "clarification" for a long ti, even the Tiandou royal family has begun to worry.
If he was just an ordinary royal family mber, this wouldn't be a big deal, but Xue Qinghe is the crown prince, the heir apparent of a country, and he cannot afford to be involved in such a scandal!
Especially since Xuan Ming has grown up in the past two years, his cold and strong image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In comparison, Xue Qinghe seems a little bit like a little bird.
Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi both ca to Xue Qinghe one after another. It was not a hint, but an explicit statent!
Ning Fengzhi said that if Xue Qinghe really liked n, she could do it privately, but not openly like this!
Xue Ye said that as the crown prince of a country, even if Xue Qinghe likes a man, he can only take the initiative and cannot be passive!
"So?" Xuan Ming looked calm, as if these rumors had nothing to do with him.
Qian Renxue put down her teacup with a wry smile. "I know this is all nonsense, but the rumors are spreading like wildfire and have already affected the reputation of the royal family and Xue Qinghe's position as crown prince. If not handled properly, I'm afraid it will cause even greater trouble."
"I think you need to keep a proper distance from Xue Qinghe in public. More importantly, you need to show your interactions with other mbers of the opposite sex to dispel people's speculation."
"Aren't Dugu Yan and the others enough?" Xuan Ming asked.
"What do you think?" Qian Renxue's eyes twitched slightly.
If Xuan Ming could show a little initiative or show so willingness to cater to this guy, with his peach blossoms, such a thing would never be spread!
But the problem is, no matter how proactive Dugu Yan and the others are, Xuan Ming remains indifferent!
If it weren't for the fact that she was Xue Qinghe, she would have doubted Xuan Ming's orientation!
"But wouldn't this make the situation even more obvious?" Xuan Ming said.
"Everyone knows what kind of person I am."
"Besides, why don't you let Xue Qinghe perform? Wouldn't it be easier to just assign him a Crown Princess?"
"He...is not very convenient." Qian Renxue said.
The candidate for the Crown Princess will either be the heir of a powerful soul master force or the princesses of other major kingdoms, but in the final analysis, she must obey the arrangents of the Tiandou royal family. It is not sothing that can be decided by Xue Qinghe's words. What's more, if a Crown Princess is really chosen, it will cause big trouble.
"It's not convenient for either." Xuan Ming said.
"Why?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.
"Are you not interested in any of them?"
"I'm a person who can barely protect myself, so I'm really not in the mood for this." Xuan Ming picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip.
"Besides, I don't want to add weaknesses to myself so that I won't be targeted by certain people."
"Keeping a proper distance is good for everyone."
Qian Renxue's expression froze, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, "Do you think I would use them to threaten you?"
Xuan Ming took another sip of tea. "I didn't say it was you. Why are you so excited? Maybe it was soone else?"
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, calming her fluctuating emotions. She said, "Even if I didn't an to do this, the current situation, the rumors are still a hidden danger. Even if you don't consider the royal family, you should at least think about yourself. Being plagued by these rumors will cause you a lot of inconvenience in your future actions."
"I don't care." Xuan Ming looked calmly at the branches of flowers swaying in the wind outside the pavilion.
"It's just right. Having this kind of misunderstanding can save us from a lot of trouble."
"You!" Qian Renxue was speechless for a mont.
"Okay, if you don't want to, I won't force you, but this matter can't continue to fernt. Since you don't care about this rumor, I guess you don't mind if I replace it with another rumor, right?"
"Other rumors? What rumors?" Xuan Ming asked.
"You will know soon." Qian Renxue said.
Xue Qinghe is not the only one who has a weird relationship with the cold Xuan Ming!
Yuexuan, Tang Yuehua!
Such rumors do exist, but Tang Yuehua rarely goes out in public, and she has a high reputation in the aristocratic circle, especially among the young aristocrats. Even if they have doubts, they will not spread such things that have a bad influence on Tang Yuehua.
But now, she could only ask Tang Yuehua to divert the fire.
If this rumor continues to spread, the Tiandou royal family will be forced to arrange a princess for Xue Qinghe under pressure.
She will be in trouble then.
"Whatever you want." Xuan Ming put down the teacup.
"Anything else?"
"The Pope is coming to Tiandou City." Qian Renxue said.
Xuan Ming was stunned.
"What is she doing here?"
"How should I know? But the most likely reason is because of you." Qian Renxue said.
"Besides, she ca here under the pretext of investigating the Spirit Temple in Tiandou City. I'm afraid she'll be staying for quite so ti. Maybe even until the Soul Master Competition begins."
"Why did you... fight with her before?"
Xuan Ming frowned slightly. Seeing this, Qian Renxue quickly spoke up, "I was just asking casually. I didn't force you. If you don't want to tell , then don't tell ."
Xuan Ming looked at Qian Renxue, and after a mont of silence, he said, "Nothing, it's just because of so rumors."
"You should know, right? It's related to her, just like these rumors I have now."
"She?" Qian Renxue frowned.
"What rumors are there about her?"
"You'll know if you ask for yourself. The older people in the Spirit Hall know it." Xuan Ming stood up.
"Goodbye."
