Chapter 321 Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue's Fake Marriage

After Dugu Yan's faith reached the level of a fanatic, Mige assigned her to be a messenger. Because Dugu Yan frequently visited the Crown Prince's residence, it wasn't feasible to keep it a secret from both Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo. Therefore, Mige revealed Xue Qinghe's true identity to Dugu Yan. However, to maintain secrecy, Mige also placed a small silencing order on her. Whenever she inadvertently wanted to say something she shouldn't, the silencing order would be activated, replacing the inappropriate words.

Ever since Dugu Yan learned that Xue Qinghe was a woman, she had no reservations in front of her. Dugu Yan also treated Qian Renxue as her best friend, becoming very close to her. Dugu Yan knew that the Crown Prince was a woman, but others didn't. It was precisely because of Dugu Yan's lack of vigilance that the servants of the Crown Prince's residence witnessed Xue Qinghe and Dugu Yan's overly intimate behavior. As a result, a rumor spread that Xue Qinghe and Dugu Yan liked each other and were now being very affectionate. For a time, the entire Tiandou City was abuzz with discussion.

Many people in Tiandou City knew that Dugu Yan frequently visited Xue Qinghe's residence. The nobles were very curious, since Xue Qinghe had never had a single scandal before. Even many ministers thought he preferred men and were afraid that he would have no offspring and would be unable to continue the royal family line.

As for the common people, they showered Xue Qinghe with praise and blessings. It's well known that Xue Qinghe was always gentle and refined, and had repeatedly stopped nobles from bullying commoners. Even Emperor Xue Ye, after the rumors spread, received the news. He was overjoyed and ate an extra bowl of food that day.

Emperor Xueye knew that although his son was outstanding, he had never been very interested in women. Emperor Xueye sent women to him in various ways, but Xue Qinghe always turned them away. This made Emperor Xueye very worried.

In the eyes of Emperor Xueye, his son Xue Qinghe was excellent in everything except for his slightly low soul power level. Emperor Xueye believed that Dugu Yan was likely attracted by his son's talent, which was why she disregarded her own reputation and went to the Crown Prince's residence multiple times.

Now, Emperor Xueye thought his son had finally come to his senses, that his own pig had finally found a woman he liked, and he wholeheartedly agreed with the crown prince's desire to be in a relationship.

In addition, Emperor Xueye also thought that the Heaven Dou Empire had been weak for a long time and urgently needed a Title Douluo to protect the country. Dugu Bo was a good choice, and marriage was also the best way to win him over.

So Emperor Xueye personally stepped in to act as matchmaker, preparing betrothal gifts for Xue Qinghe and bustling about with preparations. Qian Renxue recalled the shortcomings Mige had told her about Xue Qinghe: his lack of scandals made him easily aroused suspicion. After much deliberation, she consulted Mige's opinion, since, by all accounts, Dugu Yan was considered a member of the Temple of Light.

After considering it, Miguel thought it was feasible. However, before replying to Qian Renxue, he consulted Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. Both of them felt it was a good idea, and it could even help Dugu Yan reject Yu Tianheng's pursuit, completely ending Yu Tianheng's persistent advances. After receiving their replies, Miguel directly replied to Qian Renxue.

When Miguel was twelve years old, Xue Qinghe held a wedding ceremony and married Crown Princess Dugu Yan. Emperor Xue Ye attached great importance to this wedding, inviting major powers to attend and personally participating in the arrangements. Furthermore, to demonstrate his respect for Dugu Yan, Emperor Xue Ye presented her with the Heavenly Dou Empire's national treasure—the Vast Ocean Universe Cover—as part of the betrothal gifts.

However, before the wedding, Dugu Bo personally visited Emperor Xueye to explain that his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, would be cultivating a family secret technique for the next few years and could not lose her virginity before the age of twenty-five.

Emperor Xueye initially didn't believe it, but when he learned that Dugu Yan's cultivation speed had increased dramatically in recent years, far surpassing that of other students with similar talent, Emperor Xueye had no choice but to believe it.

In the eyes of Emperor Xueye, such a secret technique that could greatly increase one's cultivation speed was definitely very precious, and some flaws were understandable.
