Chapter 87

Although this sounds strange, upon closer examination, it doesn't seem to make any sense.

"Do you know Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire?" Jiangmo asked.

"Do...do you know!" Ning Shu quickly took back what she was about to say, chuckling to herself, afraid that the demon slayer would doubt her.

But it was precisely because of her actions that Jiangmo realized that this little girl knew everything and was just pretending to be stupid.

"I said I was going to send you to the Heavenly Dou Empire so that I could be with her."

"Go with her?"

Ning Shu asked, somewhat puzzled, "His Highness the Crown Prince has quite a few people around him, does he really need me to accompany him?"

I really want to go! I can't wait!

"..."

The demon-slaying demon was speechless for a moment.

As for?

He thought to himself, sweating profusely.

Why can't you just say what you want to do? Why do you have to be two-faced?

Jiangmo: "She doesn't have many people around her, which is perfect, she just needs a Crown Princess."

Crown Princess? !

Ning Shu's eyes widened. "Master, are you trying to make me rise to the top overnight, turning me from a chicken into a phoenix?"

"Pah, pah, pah! What do you mean by 'chicken to phoenix'? It means 'flying up to the top and becoming a phoenix'! You're not a chicken!" the demon-slaying monk scolded.

"Alright, alright, never mind whether it's a sparrow or a chicken, Master, are you serious?" Ning Shu asked.

She hadn't expected that her cheap master would be so capable, coming up with such a terrible idea; it was probably something he and Guangling had agreed upon.

"Of course I'm serious." Jiangmo nodded, also to comply with Ning Shu's wishes. "If you're willing, I'll fabricate an identity for you, and you can go in to be selected as a concubine and become the Crown Princess. If you're not willing, it's no big deal. Just consider it making another friend."

Unwilling?

How is that possible?

Ning Shu: "Master, I'm willing!"

"I can tell you're willing," the demon-slaying demon said. "If I could spare you the trouble of cultivating, you'd probably be willing to become a nun."

"No!" Ning Shu shook her head. "I love cultivating more than being a nun!"

"I didn't see it at all."

"Then you must have bad eyesight, Master."

"..."

The carriage traveled at a steady speed and arrived at the Heavenly Dou Empire in just three days.

Before heading to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Jiangmo prepared to take Ning Shu to see Xue Qinghe first.

He really wanted to ask how Ning Shu met Qian Renxue, but from a certain perspective, this was not a good question to ask.

If he had known earlier that Ning Shu knew about Qian Renxue, he would have asked her about it when he sent the message.

Avoiding the patrolling soldiers in the palace, Jiangmo led Ning Shu down a side path.

In order not to reveal his identity, he specially changed his official robes into ordinary clothes and concealed his aura. Apart from looking like he was not easy to mess with, he did not seem strange to the palace maids.

Ning Shu was genuinely afraid of being caught by someone while parading around so openly in the city.

On the way, Jiangmo thought it over and over and decided to ask Ning Shu.

"Ah Shu, how do you know that Xue Qinghe is our young master, Qian Renxue?"

No one except the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall knew about this. Ning Shu had only been at the Spirit Hall for a short time and had been at Shrek Academy before that. How could she possibly know about Qian Renxue?

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.

His young master has been an undercover agent for over a decade, and is many years older than Ning Shu. How could the two of them possibly know each other?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

So, how exactly did Ning Shu find out about this?

The demon slayer stopped, ready to ask for clarification.

Ning Shu was filled with questions. Why was it this question again?

No, how did he know she knew that Qian Renxue was Xue Qinghe?

Did Bibi Dong sell her?

Oh my God!

Ning Shu felt a little annoyed.

Back when she was entangled with Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong refused to believe her words no matter what. This time, she used the same excuse to fob off Jiangmo. How could Jiangmo believe her?

"..."

It would be a miracle if someone believed that.

Ning Shu pursed her lips and tentatively asked, "Master, if I said I dreamt about it, would you believe me?"

The demon-slaying man looked at her and said, "What do you think? If I told you this, would you believe me?"

"..."

Okay, I don't believe it.

Ning Shu pursed her lips. "Then how should I put it?"

No matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense, does it?

Ning Shu felt a headache coming on.

Damn it.

She knew how Bibi Dong knew, and she knew how Jiang Mo knew.

You can't exactly say that she was talking in her sleep and the demon slayer heard her, can you?

"..."

That possibility doesn't seem to be out of the question.

Ning Shu sighed, looking quite helpless. "Master, is it really necessary to tell you this?"

"Of course," the demon slayer nodded.

Ning Shu: "Master, actually, I am a time traveler. I know everything that will happen to you, so naturally I also know that Xue Qinghe is Qian Renxue."

A time traveler?

The demon-slaying man frowned: "Ah Shu, have you lost your mind?"

What nonsense are you spouting? Why are you saying such strange things?

"..."

To be honest, I feel like she's sick or has something wrong with her head; but if she doesn't tell the truth, I feel like what she's saying isn't true.

Emma, ​​she's so hard to please.

Ning Shu: "Actually, it's because I met her when I was a child."

"When you were a child? You saw it? Who did you see?" The more the demon slept, the more fantastical it seemed.

This even goes back to when we were kids.

How could he not know that his young master had such a playmate when he was a child?

Ning Shu said, "I met Qian Renxue and Xue Qinghe when I was a child."

She wasn't lying about this.

The original owner did indeed have those two people in his/her memories, but it had been so long that he/she hadn't remembered them for a while.

"Did you see the young master and Xue Qinghe when you were a child?"

The demon slayer said, "Ah Shu, how old are you this year? The young master is at least seven or eight years older than you. How come you were like this when you were little...?"

As he spoke, Jiangmo seemed to have thought of something.

"Ah Shu, you're only seven years younger than the young master?"

Ning Shu nodded, "Yes, after all, I registered my household a year late, so the age I reported will be a year younger."

"Then let's say..."

Is that really possible?

Qian Renxue went to infiltrate the Tiandou Empire at the age of nine, while Ning Shu was two years old at that time.

Qian Renxue lay low in the Tiandou Empire, serving as Xue Qinghe's maid for a long time. During this period, Ning Shu met with the two of them, which indeed left an impression on her.

only……

"You're from the Heavenly Dou Empire?" the Demon Slayer suddenly asked.

If Ning Shu had met Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue when she was a child, wouldn't that prove that she was born into the Tian Dou royal family?

She was neither a collateral disciple nor a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; she was merely a child taken in by an elder of the school.

Could it be such a coincidence?

The demon-slaying demon frowned.

that……

"And how do you know that the current Xue Qinghe is the young master in disguise?"

"Because I saw her kill Xue Qinghe with my own eyes, and then take his place."
