Chapter 581 Rivals Finally Meet: Qian Renxue and Huo Wu
Huo Wu's appearance stunned everyone.
In particular, her ignoring everyone's gaze and throwing herself into Ye Qifeng's arms as if no one else was around left the girls present speechless.
It wasn't until they realized her identity that the girls snapped out of their shock.
"Wow, is this Brother Ye's girlfriend? She's so beautiful!"
Bai Chenxiang, whose light purple hair was styled into two small ponytails, came back to her senses, clapped her hands lightly with a snap, put them together in front of her chest, and let out a soft cry like a lark.
"She is indeed very beautiful," Jin Yue'er nodded in agreement, but quickly changed her tone, "However, I still think Sister Xue'er is more beautiful."
"Yes, and Sister Nana too! Sister Nana is also Brother Ye's girlfriend!" Bai Chenxiang suddenly realized this and began counting on her fingers:
"One, two, three, wow—, does that mean Brother Ye has three girlfriends? Which one should Brother Ye marry in the future?"
"And what about Sister Dong'er?" At this moment, Xiao Mingyue, who was standing next to her with her arms wrapped around a teddy bear, muttered almost inaudibly.
However, because her voice was too soft and everyone's attention was not on her, no one heard her.
Jin Yue'er waved her little hand casually:
"Oh, what's there to worry about? Just marry them all. Anyway, with such an outstanding brother like Shengzi, it's normal for him to have a few more women around him."
Upon hearing this, not only Bai Chenxiang and Xiao Mingyue were stunned, but the four girls standing with them—Ruiwen, Fengxian, Yelan, and Zhu Zhuqing—also immediately turned their gazes toward her.
Noticing that all her sisters were suddenly looking at her, especially the last four, Jin Yue'er felt a chill run down her spine and almost instinctively shrank back.
"Eldest sister, second sister, third sister, and Zhuqing, why are you all looking at me like that? I'm a little scared."
Raven smiled slightly.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just think you're absolutely right."
Feng Xian, Ye Lan, and Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement, seemingly strongly agreeing with what Jin Yue'er had just said.
"Is that so?" Jin Yue'er looked at them, puzzled.
"But why do I have a feeling that you guys are thinking about something bad? You wouldn't be thinking about it too, would you?"
"Ahem—" Raven coughed abruptly, interrupting Jin Yue'er and preventing her from continuing:
"Yue'er, it seems like we haven't practiced in a long time. Let's go back and practice together."
"Count me in," Feng Xian said succinctly.
The usually gentle and calm older sister, at this moment, had an unspeakable domineering tone in her voice.
"Since you sisters are all so interested, Yue'er, why don't we practice too?"
Ye Lanyu gently covered her red lips with her hand, and smiled gently with her eyes narrowed.
"Fourth Sister, I also have some questions about cultivation that I would like to ask you for advice."
Zhu Zhuqing's expression remained as cold as ever. She raised her right hand and placed it in front of her bulging chest. With a whoosh, five sharp claws shot out. Those were her external soul bones—the right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
"Uh, you guys..." Jin Yue'er was instantly dumbfounded. "I don't want to!"
…………
Qian Renxue didn't hear the jokes between the seven girls in the second team. At this moment, her entire attention was focused on Ye Qifeng and Huo Wu, who were hugging each other.
At this moment, Qian Renxue's jealousy had overflowed. Her cheeks, disguised by the Angel Soul Bone Set, puffed up, and her lips were pursed high. Her eyes, as she looked at Huo Wu, were filled with subtle and complex emotions.
That's jealousy, dissatisfaction, unhappiness, a feeling that something you love has been taken away by someone else.
In short, it's very complicated and subtle.
However, Qian Renxue did not rush forward irrationally and separated the two.
First, her current image is that of Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Tiandou, and she has no right to interfere in other people's relationships.
Secondly, although she knew Ye Qifeng first, Huo Wu was the first woman to gain Ye Qifeng's approval.
If we're really going to nitpick, in terms of feelings, he came first, while she was the one who came later. She just used a little trick to win over Ye Qifeng before he knew it.
This made Qian Renxue feel somewhat proud, but also a little embarrassed.
That's why, no matter how sour she felt, Qian Renxue didn't take any hostile actions against Huo Wu at this time.
After all, she didn't want to put Ye Qifeng in a difficult position.
However, Qian Renxue's lack of direct targeting of Huo Wu does not mean that she has let go of her resentment and jealousy.
Seeing Ye Qifeng and Huo Wu embracing each other, their affection seemingly endless, Qian Renxue finally couldn't resist anymore.
She walked slowly to their side and suddenly spoke:
"Seven Winds Saint, and this Fire Dance girl, right? In public, you should be more mindful of your behavior. Such hugging and embracing is hardly proper."
The gentle, refined male voice reached her ears, and Huo Wu snapped out of her extreme happiness and excitement. She turned her head and saw the straight-nosed, square-mouthed face of the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. She quickly broke free from Ye Qifeng's embrace.
Ye Qifeng looked embarrassed. He could clearly feel a strong jealousy from Qian Renxue, but he didn't dare to say anything and could only shout his sins in his heart.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Huo Wu was surprised to find the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe here. She quickly placed her hand on her chest and bowed slightly, but a sense of unease crept into her heart.
This is troublesome. If the other party sees that I have a relationship with the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, they might become suspicious of Blazing Fire City, Blazing Fire Academy, and even the Fire Clan, suspecting that they are colluding with the Spirit Hall.
If that's the case, the Heavenly Dou Royal Family will definitely not let them off the hook.
Thinking of this, Huo Wu couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. She shouldn't have been so careless and got carried away, giving the other party a handle to use against her.
However, to Huo Wu's surprise, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe did not seem to blame her for this. Instead, he even gave her a few words of advice:
"Miss Fire Dance, I do not object to your mutual affection with the Seven Winds Saint. After all, it is understandable that people in love often find it difficult to control their emotions."
"But please be mindful of your manners and methods. Don't act as if no one else is around and you're being so unrestrained in front of outsiders, otherwise it will inevitably arouse suspicion."
"If it's just your personal affair, then fine, I won't interfere. But if it involves the relationship between the two forces of Blazing Fire City and the Spirit Hall, then I have to express my concern, after all, the Empire will not stand idly by."
Do you understand what I mean?
Huo Wu opened her mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a word, seemingly stunned by Qian Renxue's words.
Fortunately, Ye Qifeng was there. He grabbed Huo Wu by the waist and pulled her back to his side, while simultaneously telling a lie that everyone knew the truth:
"Your Highness, please rest assured, Huo Wu and I are mutually in love, and there is no conflict of interest between the Blazing Fire City and the Spirit Hall. As for what just happened..."
"Ahem, don't take it to heart. That was just an exception. We'll be more mindful of the occasion in the future."
"Oh? Is that so?" Qian Renxue glanced indifferently at Ye Qifeng's hand around Huo Wu's waist, but inwardly she was gritting her teeth. Damn you, Ye Qifeng, are you really protecting her like this?
I said all those things for the sake of the two of you.
It's not appropriate to announce your relationship with her at this stage. Otherwise, the fact that the Huo Clan of Blazing Fire City has already sided with the Spirit Hall will definitely get out of control, which would be detrimental to the overall situation.
Although she was filled with jealousy, Qian Renxue tried her best to suppress it, and on the surface, she still maintained the elegance and affability of the Heavenly Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe:
"In that case, I, the Crown Prince, will say no more. However, I will be keeping an eye on you."
The first sentence was spoken in the capacity of the Crown Prince of Tiandou, while the second sentence was Qian Renxue's warning to Ye Qifeng.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng's face twitched slightly. Clearly, he understood Qian Renxue's unspoken meaning—you're dead if you dare to be intimate with another woman in front of me.
Seeing the awkward expressions on Ye Qifeng and Huo Wu's faces, Qian Renxue finally felt a little better and then spoke up to end the awkward topic:
"Alright, that's enough for now. The opening ceremony is over, and it's about time for me to head back to the palace."
After saying that, Qian Renxue turned to leave, but after taking two steps, she seemed to remember something and turned back, smiling at Ye Qifeng:
"Oh, by the way, Holy Son of Seven Winds, remember to visit me in the palace more often when you have time. The doors of my palace are always open for you."
Hearing this, Ye Qifeng looked puzzled and couldn't help but recall some absurd yet unsettling scenes from the secret room. Fortunately, he quickly recovered and composed himself.
Huo Wu, standing nearby, glanced back and forth between Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue.
A woman's sixth sense told her that there was definitely something wrong between the two of them, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't see anything suspicious. So she had to put aside her curiosity for the time being and stay quietly by Ye Qifeng's side.
Qian Renxue eventually left, with a hint of jealousy and reluctance in her heart.
…………
After Qian Renxue left, Ye Qifeng introduced Huo Wu and the seven girls from the second team to each other.
After everyone had gotten to know each other, he looked at Raven and the other six and gave them instructions:
"Raven, lead your team back to the Heavenly Dou Temple first. Elder Ju is already waiting outside in a carriage. Once you leave, get in the carriage and drive back to the Heavenly Dou Temple. Do not linger outside."
"The Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena and the Heaven Dou Holy Temple are both located in the central urban area of Heaven Dou City, not far apart. In addition, it is still daytime, the opening ceremony has just ended, and there are many pedestrians on the road. I don't think Tang Hao would dare to make a move at this time."
"However, just in case, we should always be mindful of safety."
"During the Elite Soul Master Tournament, you must not split up or go out alone. Even if you want to go out for fun, you must all be together, and Elder Ju must be present, understand?"
"Yes, Brother Ye." The seven girls answered in unison, and finally, Raven asked the question that was on the minds of all her sisters:
"What about you, brother, that night?"
Ye Qifeng coughed lightly, not bothering to hide anything from them:
"I haven't seen your sister Huowu for many years. I need to spend some time with her, so I won't be going back with you."
Hearing this, Huo Wu's pretty face flushed red, but her feelings were always so raw and passionate, and she quickly accepted the affection conveyed in Ye Qifeng's words.
"Brother Ye, Sister Huowu, we'll head back now. Have a great time!"
Upon hearing this, Raven could only take her leave with her friends.
"Goodbye, Sister Huowu! Remember to come visit us at the Heavenly Dou Temple sometime!" These words came from the lively and carefree Jin Yue'er.
"Okay, goodbye."
Huo Wu smiled and waved gently.
Raven and the others walked out of the Heaven Dou Arena gate, quickly boarded the carriage driven by Yue Guan, and then drove away.
"Feng, you just said that someone wants to harm your sisters?"
Watching Raven and the others leave, Huo Wu stepped forward and took Ye Qifeng's arm, asking softly.
"Hmm." Ye Qifeng nodded. "A guy hiding in the gutter. You should have heard of his name, Haotian Douluo Tang Hao."
"Remember the Tang Sanyao that I told you and Bing'er to be careful of in this Elite Soul Master Competition? Tang Hao is his father."
"Tang San's father, Haotian Douluo Tang Hao?" Huo Wu's eyes widened immediately:
"Wouldn't Raven and the others be in great danger? That's Haotian Douluo, after all."
"Rumor has it that when Tang Hao first became a Title Douluo, his combat power was already comparable to a level 95 Super Douluo. It's said that the previous Pope of the Spirit Hall died at his hands, right?"
Seeing the surprise and worry in Huo Wu's eyes, Ye Qifeng smiled gently, indicating that she should relax:
"Don't worry, with Chrysanthemum Douluo protecting them, they will be safe."
"Besides, I have made thorough arrangements. It's not just Chrysanthemum Douluo who will protect Raven and the others. If Tang Hao really dares to make a move, he'll be in big trouble."
After speaking, Ye Qifeng's eyes softened, and he looked at Huo Wu with tenderness:
"Let's not talk about this anymore. This whole day is yours. Go wherever you want, I'll go with you."
Huo Wu smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes gazing intently back at Ye Qifeng:
"I'm fine with anywhere, as long as you're here."
But she quickly remembered the warning the Crown Prince of Tiandou had given her, and couldn't help but feel a little worried:
"But is it really okay for us to go out like this?"
"What His Highness the Crown Prince said is right. Our relationship is indeed not suitable for outsiders to know right now. What if someone recognizes us? We both attended the opening ceremony, and many people must remember what we look like."
"It's alright, I have a way." As Ye Qifeng spoke, he took out two uniquely shaped items from the amethyst crystal ring on his left index finger and handed one of them to Huo Wu:
"Here, put this on."
Fire Dancer instinctively reached out and took it:
"What is this?"
