Douluo: Why is Qian Renxue not in love anymore?

Chapter 103 Auction (9)

Tang San stood in the corner of the white area, with Xiao Wu beside him. She was lowering her head to straighten a wrinkle on her collar, completely unaware of the subtle changes in the field.

And Tang San, with his deep eyes, inadvertently caught the gaze of Qian Renxue from afar. The complex emotions contained in that gaze were like substance, especially the flash of cold murderous intent in it, which made his heart move slightly.

As a disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang San is extremely sensitive to murderous intent.

He was very familiar with this murderous intent. He remained calm and gently stroked the hidden weapon mechanism in his sleeve with his fingertips. That was his habit as a descendant of the Tang Sect, and it was also his instinctive reaction to danger.

Tang San's brows knitted slightly, and the eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world became even deeper. He stared at Qian Renxue in confusion, with layers of doubts surging in his heart.

As far as I can remember, I have nothing to do with this noble and cold woman. Why does her eyes reveal such a strong murderous intent?
The murderous intent was like the biting cold wind in winter, penetrating into his bones and making him secretly alert.

He slowly moved his gaze, trying to find the answer from Li Muyun beside Qian Renxue, but Li Muyun was talking to Qian Renxue in a gentle and mysterious manner. The tacit understanding and trust between the two made this search more complicated.

Tang San's gaze moved back and forth between Li Muyun and Qian Renxue, finally settling on Qian Renxue's cold and resolute face.

He pondered secretly in his mind, and his fingers unconsciously tightened the hidden weapon in his sleeve. That was his most instinctive reaction when facing an unknown threat.

Tang San's eyes gradually became firm and deep. He slowly lowered his eyelids to conceal the sharpness in his eyes.

He knew that in this world where the strong are respected, every choice could determine life or death.

Since Qian Renxue was hostile to him, and Li Muyun's relationship with her was obviously special, then an insurmountable gap had quietly been drawn between them.

And if that woman is serious about her killing intentions, then they are enemies.

It was obvious that Li Muyun had a special relationship with that woman, so in Tang San's mind, Li Muyun had already committed a crime that deserved death.

Tang San's thoughts flashed like thunder and lightning, and he made a decision in an instant. He adjusted his breathing calmly, and his right hand slid silently into the inside of his clothes. With a light touch, a strange soul bone gleaming with a faint green luster appeared in his palm - it was the external soul bone of a 2,000-year-old human-faced demon spider that he had obtained some time ago, the Eight Spider Lance.

Its appearance is hideous, as if it contains endless toxicity and power.

His eyes swept across Li Muyun, and there was both determination and a hint of subtle complexity in his eyes.

He didn't want to owe Li Muyun anything, so he planned to give Li Muyun the things he promised to find for him, and from then on they would go their separate ways and there would be no more relationship.

Tang San walked forward slowly, each step seemed extremely heavy, as if each step was stepping on a turning point of fate.

When he finally stood in front of Li Muyun, the noise around him seemed to stop, and everyone's eyes were attracted by this scene.

Li Muyun was immersed in the conversation with Qian Renxue, when suddenly, an inexplicable pressure came from the side. He looked up abruptly and met Tang San's deep eyes.

The complex emotions in those eyes were like the undercurrent before a storm, making Li Muyun's heart tighten.

"Brother Muyun..." Tang San's voice was deep and clear, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Li Muyun's heart. The air around him seemed to freeze, and time became unusually slow at this moment.

Li Muyun's expression suddenly became complicated and indistinguishable. He secretly complained in his heart: "Brother, please don't tell me you know me!"

But when faced with Tang San's call of "Brother Muyun", he was speechless for a moment and could only force out an awkward but polite smile.

Li Muyun pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly and laughed dryly: "Xiao San, what a coincidence, you also come to this auction to join in the fun?" His eyes flickered, trying to cover up his inner panic with a relaxed tone.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes moved between the two of them, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her voice was as cold as an ice spring: "You... know each other?"

There was a subtle scrutiny in her tone, as if she wanted to see through the deepest secrets in Li Muyun's heart.

Li Muyun coughed lightly, nodded, and explained: "Well, I guess so. We are from the same village, Holy Soul Village."

There was a hint of nostalgia in his words, but he also deliberately kept a distance from Tang San.

"Holy Soul Village?" Qian Renxue repeated softly, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and then she chuckled, "So that's how it is, it's really a deep connection."

There are too many unknown emotions hidden in her smile, making it hard to understand.

At this moment, Tang San slowly took out the Eight Spider Lance soul bone that was shining with a dark green luster from his sleeve.

He gently placed the soul bone in his palm and slowly handed it to Li Muyun. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Li Muyun was stunned. He didn't expect that Tang San would give him such a precious gift in such a solemn manner on this occasion.

Tang San's eyes were deep, as if they contained thousands of words. He spoke slowly, his voice low and firm: "Brother Muyun, this is what you need. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

Li Muyun's face was filled with astonishment and confusion. He seemed to understand the complex emotions in Tang San's eyes at this moment - it was an indescribable sense of determination and distance.

He stretched out his hand, but hesitated, and finally took the soul bone.

The moment Li Muyun took over the soul bone, Tang San's gaze became unusually cold, as if completing some kind of ritual. He turned around gently, his gaze passed through the crowd, and finally fixed on Xiao Wu who was standing quietly not far away.

Then, Tang San took Xiao Wu away from the auction directly.

Qian Renxue's gaze slowly lengthened along with Tang San's departing back, until that figure disappeared around the corner of the crowd, and an inexplicable ripple arose in her heart.

She turned her head to look at Li Muyun, and for the first time, her icy eyes revealed a complex emotion, which seemed to be mixed with confusion and a slight sense of loss.

"Muyun," she called softly, with a hint of subtle tenderness and temptation hidden in her voice, "What is your connection with him?"

Li Muyun was caught off guard by this question. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and secretly complained in his heart: "This woman's mind is really harder to figure out than a dragnet."

He shook his head, trying to make his tone sound relaxed and natural: "It's just a friendship between fellow villagers, there's no connection. But this soul bone surprised me."

Qian Renxue's eyes fell on the Eight Spider Lance soul bone in Li Muyun's hand again. A flash of surprise flashed across her eyes. She whispered with a bit of disbelief: "Is this the soul bone Tang San gave you? Moreover, it's an extremely rare external soul bone?"

Her words were like a breeze in the ice, light but enough to make the air around them tremble. Li Muyun's hand trembled slightly, and the soul bone in his palm seemed to have life, and the dark green light was particularly dazzling in the dim auction venue. He looked up and met Qian Renxue's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"Yes, he...he said that it was to repay a certain favor between us." Li Muyun's voice was a little dry, and he tried to make his tone sound calm.
