"Teacher, you and Your Majesty can chat first, I'll take my leave!"
Seeing the two big shots chatting, Xu Yang quickly found an excuse to slip away. He found a corner, grabbed some pastries, and started eating, his eyes constantly on Qian Renxue.
He wasn't worried that the royal family would use those underhanded means of the nobles, but he was pondering Qian Renxue's reaction after learning about his Spirit.
After thinking it over, Xu Yang could only think of two possible outcomes: one was to recruit him, and the other was to kill him, but the latter was more likely.
One reason was that he was already a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which was inherently opposed to the Spirit Hall.
The second reason was the mutual resonance between their Spirits. Once Xu Yang told Ning Fengzhi about this, Ning Fengzhi would begin to investigate him. When he replaced Xue Qinghe, this resonance would also be carried over to Xue Qinghe's identity, and she would definitely be exposed at that time, so killing him was the best option.
Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that Qian Renxue herself was confident enough to shield the resonance between the Spirits and temporarily spare his life.
"In the future, I should reduce the number of times I leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Staying in the sect with these two Titled Douluo at least guarantees safety!"
After a period of analysis, Xu Yang made up his mind. Before he had enough strength, he would never leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He didn't dare to gamble on the possibility that Qian Renxue might let him go.
He knew very well how powerful the Spirit Hall was. Apart from Seagod Island, no other force on the Douluo Continent could compare to it.
Before long, Xue Qinghe brought Qian Renxue to Xu Yang's side.
"Senior Brother Xu Yang, I am Xue Qinghe, the First Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. I hope Senior Brother will take care of me in the future!" Xue Qinghe extended his right hand, smiling gently, but the arrogance in his eyes couldn't be concealed.
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then put down the pastry in his hand, stood up, and shook Xue Qinghe's hand, also responding with a smile, "My name is Xu Yang, and I am the one who needs your care, Junior Brother, after all, you are a prince!"
One shouldn't hit a smiling face, since Xue Qinghe intended to befriend him, he couldn't refuse him, after all, the world wasn't just about fighting and killing, there were also human relationships. Anyway, this person wouldn't live long, probably until Qian Renxue figured out his personality and habits, she would kill him immediately.
Next, the two sat together and chatted, seemingly getting along very well.
Throughout the whole process, Xu Yang didn't ask about the identity of Qian Renxue next to him, as if he didn't exist.
"It seems that Ning Fengzhi's disciple is quite scheming. He hasn't asked about my existence or asked to have me transferred to him for so long. I need to pay more attention to this guy in the future."
Qian Renxue, who was listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Her current identity was just Xue Qinghe's Guard, and with Xu Yang's status as Ning Fengzhi's disciple, it wouldn't be difficult to have him transferred.
One had to know that this was a Spirit Fusion Skill. If it could be passed down, it could protect the inheritance of the sect and family, just like the Star Luo Empire's royal family and the Zhu Family. Every royal family's wife or husband was a member of the Zhu Family, to ensure the perfect execution of the Netherworld White Tiger Spirit Fusion Skill. This was also why the Star Luo Empire had always occupied a place in the Douluo Continent, even in the Dou 2 era ten thousand years later, the Dai Family and the Zhu Family still existed.
"But this is also good, it's just the right time for this identity to die!"
After clearing her thoughts, Qian Renxue didn't think much about it, but stood beside Xue Qinghe, silently observing.
Through the conversation, Xu Yang also gained some understanding of Xue Qinghe. Although this guy couldn't be considered a genius, he was by no means mediocre. He was gentle and generous in his dealings with others, approachable, but also had the decisiveness and ruthlessness that a royal family member should have. It would be easy for him to be a ruler who maintained the status quo.
It was just a pity that he was targeted by Qian Renxue and wouldn't live long.
Xu Yang had no intention of saving Xue Qinghe, nor did he have the ability to save him. There was no relationship between the two, at most they were nodding acquaintances, and it wasn't worth risking his life for him.
"It's just good luck, Xue Qinghe! When I become the crown prince, I will definitely deal with you properly and make you wish you were dead!" Xu Yang and Xue Qinghe were chatting happily, but Xue Luochuan, who had been watching here from afar, was upset.
Ning Fengzhi's failure to choose him had already made him jealous of Xue Qinghe, and now he was getting along so well with Ning Fengzhi's disciple, at least that's how it seemed to him, which made him even more jealous.
He had already made up his mind to make him look good when he became the crown prince!
"Everyone, today is a significant day, Sect Leader Ning is going to accept my son Qinghe as a disciple..."
Soon after, Emperor Xue Ye's voice suddenly resounded throughout the palace, attracting everyone's attention.
"Sorry, I have to go!"
Xue Qinghe looked at Xu Yang apologetically, and after speaking, he got up, tidied his clothes, and walked towards the center of the banquet.
The Heaven Dou Empire's apprenticeship ceremony was basically the Western style. Under the witness of the supervisor, Emperor Xue Ye, the two officially became master and disciple. The whole process was very fast and did not take much time.
After that, Ning Fengzhi, Emperor Xue Ye, and Xue Qinghe discussed the teaching time. He was the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the sect's business was too much, spread all over the continent. Usually, the sect's affairs were busy. Although not as good as an emperor like Emperor Xue Ye, it was not much different. In addition, there was also Xu Yang, his disciple, so he didn't have much time.
Emperor Xue Ye didn't value this. What he valued was the relationship between the two as master and disciple. As long as this relationship existed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would be tied to the Heaven Dou Empire. Xue Qinghe was the same. The royal education was not much worse than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He was also very concerned about the throne and didn't want to waste time.
In this way, after negotiation, the three decided that Ning Fengzhi would spend one morning or afternoon a week teaching, and the rest of the time was free.
The banquet did not last long, and soon Ning Fengzhi took Xu Yang to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
On the way!
"Yang Er, how do you feel?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.
Since he had accepted Xu Yang as a disciple, he would not only teach knowledge about Spirits, but also teach Xu Yang how to advance and retreat properly, how to win over and control talents, and cultivate a sense of the overall situation.
Now he wanted to see Xu Yang's sensitivity to the latter.
"The members of the royal family are very arrogant, even Xue Qinghe, who seems approachable, has a sense of superiority in his bones. And they are all extremely scheming and ruthless. This can be seen from the conversation between Teacher and Emperor Xue Ye.
However, these have also become shackles that bind them, making them not care about cultivation, but are more enthusiastic about power..."
Xu Yang knew what Ning Fengzhi wanted to ask. He had asked such questions several times before, so the answer was familiar.
