Chapter 80: She's Just My Sister

"Rong Rong, step back."

Su Cheng released Ning Rongrong, signaling her to refrain from speaking further.

Ning Rongrong was unaware of Xue Qinghe's true identity, thus oblivious to the severity of the situation. Since Qian Renxue had revealed her strength and even brought a Title Douluo with her, it indicated she had no reservations and was prepared to cause trouble.

But how did she detect him so quickly and why did she come here?

Had their connection with Dugu Bo been discovered?

Or was it because the Blue Tyrant Dragon Sect obtained the potion formula meant for him, arousing suspicion?

Unlikely, otherwise, she wouldn't have brought only one Title Douluo here.

Was it because of the simulator's influence on the world's fate, leading to an invisible connection between them?

This brought back the original question: how exactly does the simulation affect reality?

"Your Highness, I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable," Su Cheng glanced at the respectful Porcupinefish Douluo trailing behind Qian Renxue, "and with a Title Douluo assisting you."

""Brother Su Cheng, why do you speak so openly and suddenly change your address to calling me the Your Highness?" Qian Renxue said with a hint of mockery, "Shouldn't it be me asking you? Didn't you send me a letter asking me to leave Tian Dou City? Why are you acting dumb now?"

As she spoke, she raised her right hand, slipping it into her front robe, then swiftly flipped her wrist, revealing a peculiar mask connected to her hair bun.

In the astonished gazes of Su Cheng and Ning Rongrong, she emitted a faint spiritual power fluctuation, and Xue Qinghe's disguise instantly disappeared.

With a tall and graceful figure, captivating beauty, and a complexion as fair as snow, Qian Renxue's true face was revealed.

Ning Rongrong was surprised; she never expected the Crown Prince of Tian Dou Empire to be such a beauty.

But Su Cheng knew her true identity, which made him even more astonished. He had vaguely sensed something amiss before, but now, with her disguise removed, he realized that the person before him was completely different from what he had imagined.

There was a hint of darkness in her eyes, adding a touch of sinister charm to her once saintly and majestic appearance.

Her golden hair and red lips now had a subtle shade of darkness, accentuated by the black royal robe, giving her a more ominous aura.

Su Cheng felt a weight in his heart.

With Qian Renxue revealing her true appearance directly in front of them, the situation seemed to be taking a turn for the worse.

Fortunately, her existence in the Spirit Hall was a secret, so as long as she didn't mention it, Ning Rongrong probably wouldn't make the connection.

Trying to probe, Su Cheng asked, "It seems like you've known me for a while?"

"Don't you also know me?" Qian Renxue didn't answer Su Cheng's question but smiled and asked back.

Su Cheng's eyes twitched slightly.

At this moment, further futile explanations were pointless.

Seeing him silent, Qian Renxue's eyes flickered, and she said, "Su Cheng, you haven't answered my question yet. Are you planning to become the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Su Cheng furrowed his brows, "I consider Rong Rong as my sister. Where does the question of becoming a son-in-law come from?"

"Well, you're quite casual about it. Just a few days of acquaintance, and you're already calling each other brother and sister. Why don't you try calling me sister too? Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll let you off."

Su Cheng's brows furrowed even tighter.

He certainly didn't believe this nonsense.

Qian Renxue's thoughts were elusive, her actions unrestrained, making it impossible for him to grasp her intentions or guess the purpose behind her words.

Thus, it was difficult to formulate an appropriate response.

"Not speaking? Does that mean you're unwilling?" Qian Renxue clapped her hands and smiled, "But since she's just your casual sister, killing her shouldn't matter, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Porcupinefish Douluo, who had been trailing behind her, instantly moved beside Ning Rongrong, with a faint purple martial soul shadow appearing behind him.

Su Cheng's expression changed drastically. The Eternal Sword materialized in his hand, slashing a sword qi toward the Porcupinefish Douluo.

He shouted, "Are you insane?!"

He keenly felt the killing intent emanating from the other party.

Qian Renxue actually intended to kill Ning Rongrong!

But this made no sense at all.

Even if she abandoned her plans in Tian Dou Empire, it wouldn't affect the foundation of the Spirit Hall.

However, if she killed Ning Rongrong, it would drive the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect mad!

Qian Renxue had been lurking in Tian Dou Empire for years; she couldn't be unaware of how precious Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo considered Ning Rongrong to be.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall was still weak.

Regardless of the formidable strength of the two Title Douluos within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or their influence among the three sects, the retaliation they could inflict, fueled by their wealth alone, would be enough to seriously harm the Spirit Hall.

"I see now!" Su Cheng suddenly realized, realizing he had been completely mistaken before.

He looked at Qian Renxue in astonishment, "So, the person you wanted to kill that day at the Tian Dou Royal Academy was her?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Qian Renxue recalled the scene from that day and couldn't help but laugh.

"Su Cheng, did you think I wanted to kill you?"

Meanwhile, the Porcupinefish Douluo gently flicked his finger, deflecting the sword qi Su Cheng had sent.

But he didn't immediately act.

Even under the pressure of the Title Douluo, Ning Rongrong's complexion changed, not daring to make any reckless moves.

Su Cheng's mind raced, advising, "I don't know what your purpose is, but have you considered the consequences? She is Ning Fengzhi's only daughter. If you kill her now, how will you deal with the retaliation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect afterward? Whatever benefits you may gain from this, the cost will certainly not be worth it!"

If possible, he absolutely couldn't let Ning Rongrong die here.

Their relationship was secondary; the most crucial point was that Ning Rongrong had come out with him this time.

If Ning Rongrong were to die here, the fate of the Spirit Hall would be uncertain.

"I just admitted it. You seem to care about her a lot, aren't you anxious?" Qian Renxue lightly raised her eyebrows, silently pondering Su Cheng's earlier words.

Then she said, "I can let her go, but you have to come with me. If you agree, I'll release her."
