Chapter 26 Xue Qinghe Invites
Chapter 26 Xue Qinghe Invites
"How did you manage to absorb the third soul ring in 7000 years? And your soul power has increased too much. I only reached level 32 after absorbing the third soul ring."
After listening to Dugu Yan's whisper, Ning Bei smiled complacently.
"What? Are you still thinking about surpassing me? Maybe in the next life, little sister."
But just as Ning Bei finished speaking, the angry Dugu Yan suddenly did a 360-degree turn on the soft flesh on Ning Bei's waist.
Ning Bei grimaced in pain, forgetting that women also have this innate ability to create their own soul skills.
He rubbed his waist and lamented that one should not offend women easily.
He took out a jade bottle from the storage necklace and handed it to Dugu Yan.
"Here you go, Yanzi."
Dugu Yan took the jade bottle and looked at Ning Bei curiously.
"What is this? Medicine?"
Thinking that Grandpa Dugu and his grandson were also his own people, apart from the fact that Danta could make medicines and nurture soul beasts, there was no need for others to be too wary of them.
Although Dugu Bo's behavior is a bit unworthy of a Titled Douluo, he is still loyal enough. In the original novel, he even confronted the Spirit Hall for the little punk, so he would not betray him, so Ning Bei planned to give the Awakening Pill to Dugu Yan.
Later, the little beggar had his own team, and he couldn't be alone.
"This is the Awakening Pill, which can increase the cultivation speed of soul masters below the Soul King level by 40%. It has no side effects and was made by the pharmacist of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
After hearing this, Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes widened.
I thought, you have such a good thing, we have known each other for so long, why are you just taking it out now?
It seemed that he understood what Dugu Yan meant.
"This is a recently developed elixir. I didn't have it before."
Dugu Yan then retracted his gaze and asked curiously:
"Is it really that magical? Then won't we be able to reach level 40 soon?"
"You'll know if it's true if you try it, but you can eat it by yourself and don't tell anyone else except your grandfather."
Dugu Yan nodded vigorously. She still understood the principle of not showing off one's wealth.
"I know. I won't tell anyone about it."
Then he kissed Ning Bei hard on the face.
This kiss stunned Ning Bei.
"Oh shit, she likes me."
Dugu Yan happily took the pill and went back to the dormitory to practice, but Ning Bei walked back with a heavy heart.
He just wanted to win over Dugu Yan, who had great potential, and Dugu Bo, who was a Titled Douluo, but if he sold his body, that would be a different price.
"How did it get like this? I'm only 9 years old. I haven't even thought about these issues yet! If the old poisonous guy knew that I took his little cabbage, he would come after me and kill me."
Little did he know that Dugu Bo had already seen through his granddaughter's tendencies, but he just acquiesced to their contact. He was also very optimistic about Ning Bei's future, and looking at his cunning look, it was clear that the two of them would not suffer any loss from outsiders when they were together in the future.
Just as Ning Bei was walking back, a man who looked like a butler appeared in front of him.
"Mr. Ning, His Royal Highness the First Prince invites you."
The butler's words interrupted Ning Bei's thoughts and he looked at his respectful appearance.
"Really? Lead the way."
Although he was puzzled as to what Qian Renxue wanted to do with him, he did not refuse. After all, he was the person she wanted to win over, so there was nothing to be afraid of if he understood this.
Arriving at a teahouse, the butler took Ning Bei into the private room.
"Brother Ning, long time no see."
Qian Renxue, dressed in men's clothing, still had a warm smile on her face. She silently brought the two closer together and washed away the strangeness that came with not seeing each other for a long time.
"Yeah, Brother Xue, it's been a long time since we last met. You must be very busy."
"No matter how busy I am, I have to take time out to sit with Brother Ning."
As he spoke, he invited Ning Bei to take a seat, personally warmed a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Ning Bei.
"Good tea." Ning Bei pretended to take a sip but didn't drink it all. That was not what a cultured person should do.
Qian Renxue also took a small sip and looked at Ning Bei with a smile.
"Oh? Brother Ning knows about tea at such a young age?"
Ning Bei scratched his head awkwardly when he heard that. How did the topic come to this track? I just talked about it casually.
"I don't know much about tea, but for someone of Brother Xue's status, the tea he brings out must be good tea."
Ning Bei's straightforward words made Qian Renxue smile.
"Brother Ning is such a wonderful person."
After some small talk, the two of them put away their playful expressions.
Qian Renxue looked at Ning Bei seriously.
"Brother Ning, what do you think of my father's plan to appoint a crown prince?"
Ning Bei said to himself, "Here we go, this is the real thing."
Then he looked at Qian Renxue calmly.
"Brother Xue is the eldest son and a man of great courtesy. He is of course the best choice for the crown prince."
"Oh? Brother Ning, do you really think so?"
Ning Bei rolled his eyes in his heart. What are you testing here for?
"Of course, otherwise father wouldn't have become Brother Xue's teacher, right?"
"Oh? So the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will also support me in becoming the crown prince?"
Ning Bei took a deep look at Qian Renxue and continued:
"Of course. The Spirit Hall is so powerful now that the Haotian Sect has been forced to close its mountains. As one of the top three sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect must stick together with the Tiandou Empire. Supporting Brother Xue to become the crown prince will also help to bring us closer to the empire."
"Is this true?"
Qian Renxue showed a delighted expression on her face, as if she was very happy, but Ning Bei knew very well whether she was really happy in her heart.
If you can be happy when I tell you in front of you that the Spirit Hall has evil ambitions, then that's weird. He is deliberately trying to annoy Qian Renxue. It's her fault for always testing her.
"Of course I take it seriously. No one in the Tiandou Empire is suitable for the position of crown prince except Brother Xue."
"Then I hope Brother Ning can say good things about me in front of the teacher."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
"Brother Ning is truly a rare talent among men."
"No, no, Brother Xue is the one who has the appearance of an emperor of all ages."
After the two foxes flattered each other for a while, they had dinner together at Qian Renxue's invitation. The atmosphere at the table was naturally very harmonious because they had the same goal.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, Ning Bei said goodbye to Qian Renxue and headed towards the academy.
Qian Renxue looked at Ning Bei's leaving figure, her eyes gradually turning cold. All forces that opposed the Spirit Hall would eventually become her enemies. She only hoped that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would be more sensible by then.
At this time, a dark shadow appeared beside Qian Renxue.
"Young Master, that young man's cultivation has reached level 37, which is a big improvement since the last time we met."
Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and she asked in disbelief:
"really?"
"It's absolutely true. I just felt it carefully. It is indeed a level 37 soul power fluctuation. Should we take action to get rid of him?"
After listening to this, Qian Renxue pondered for a while and shook her head.
"No, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will not necessarily become our enemy in the end. If I can pull them into our team after I become the Heavenly Dou Emperor, it will be a great help for the Spirit Hall to conquer the continent. If you get rid of Ning Bei, they will definitely suspect the Spirit Hall, and then there will be no room for maneuver."
"Yes, I understand, young master."
After saying this, the figure disappeared into the darkness again.
