An incense stick's time later.
Qian Renxue brought Tang Chuan to a teahouse and met an elegant middle-aged man.
Behind him stood a gaunt old man with an extremely robust physique.
It was Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo.
"Oh? Why is it him!?" As soon as Tang Chuan and Qian Renxue entered the teahouse, Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on the former, and his expression changed slightly.
"Fengzhi, you know this kid?" Bone Douluo, who was beside him, frowned slightly.
Ning Fengzhi whispered,
"Uncle Gu, do you remember that young Soul Master who was with Dugu Bo when Uncle Jian and I went to Shrek Academy a while ago?"
Bone Douluo was stunned for a moment, then said, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't Dugu Bo Prince Xue Xing's man? That old fellow has always been at odds with Xue Qinghe, so how could this kid be with..."
Before his words fully fell, Xue Qinghe had already brought Tang Chuan closer.
"Teacher." Her gaze fell on Ning Fengzhi, and the proud expression on Qian Renxue's face slightly receded as she respectfully bowed to the former.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi quickly stood up and returned the bow, "Your Highness, you don't need to be so polite."
"It's only right." Qian Renxue smiled slightly, her tone indifferent.
Just then, Ning Fengzhi's gaze slowly shifted, falling on Tang Chuan beside Qian Renxue, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, he said, "Qinghe, is this young friend Xiao Yan the Genius Blue Silver Grass Soul Master you often mention?"
As soon as his words fell, the atmosphere in the teahouse instantly became a bit awkward.
Qian Renxue was slightly stunned, her entire face momentarily blank, then she subconsciously turned her head to look at Tang Chuan beside her, asking in confusion,
"Xiao Yan? Teacher, you said he... is named Xiao Yan?"
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow, asking in doubt,
"Qinghe, what's wrong with you? Isn't this little brother's name this? A few days ago, when I was at Shrek Academy, I had a brief encounter with him, and he said his name was Xiao Yan."
Qian Renxue's face immediately darkened, and she turned to stare at Tang Chuan, saying irritably, "Brother Tang Chuan, I didn't expect that you have quite a few names."
Awkwardly scratching his head, Tang Chuan showed a somewhat embarrassed expression and laughed,
"Oh, well, when you're out and about, identities are all self-given."
As he spoke, he quickly cupped his hands and bowed to Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, saying seriously,
"This junior has met School Master Ning, Bone Douluo. My real name is Tang Chuan; Xiao Yan is just an alias I use when I walk the Jianghu."
"So that's how it is. It seems I misunderstood. It's understandable for young people to use aliases to conceal their identities when out and about." Ning Fengzhi was first stunned, then smiled softly.
It's not easy to update, remember to share 101kanshu.com.
Bone Douluo, however, snorted coldly, frowning tightly, "Kid, although a name is just a code, if you fabricate it casually, you will eventually be suspected. The Spirit Master's world is complex and dangerous; if you are caught by someone with malicious intentions, it will only cause more trouble."
"Thank you, Senior Bone Douluo, for your teaching. I've noted it." Tang Chuan nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi slightly raised his hand, signaling Bone Douluo beside him not to say more, then turned around, his gaze falling on Qian Renxue, his tone gentle but with a hint of consideration, saying,
"Qinghe, is this young friend Tang Chuan the friend you mentioned earlier, who is co-founding the Academy with you?"
Qian Renxue's expression was normal, and she nodded slightly, saying,
"Yes, Teacher. Although Brother Tang Chuan is also one of the founders of the Academy, his age is still too young and he still needs to gain experience everywhere. The management of the Academy in the future might still fall on my shoulders."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he exchanged glances with Bone Douluo beside him, both reading a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.
Immediately after, he nodded gently, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity, saying,
"Since that's the case, after the Academy is established, I will let my young daughter go to your Academy to Cultivate and study. At that time, Qinghe, you must take good care of her."
"Of course, Teacher, you can rest assured." Qian Renxue nodded, her expression calm, but with a certain self-assured certainty, she said seriously,
"Teacher, you mentioned Rongrong's matter before, and I naturally won't treat her badly."
She paused, then slightly shifted her gaze, her tone carrying a hint of concern.
"It's just, I wonder how Sister Rongrong's health has been recently?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's expression softened significantly, and his originally serious Aura also slightly faded, he spoke with a hint of relieved smile,
"After taking the medicinal ingredients sent by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Rongrong's body has improved quite a bit, her Divine Qi has recovered a lot, and her complexion has also improved these past few days."
However, as he said this, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his entire Aura became low, his voice carrying an undisguised sharpness:
"But this so-called Shrek Academy is simply trash! It can neither protect its students nor does it have any true Legacy. Such an Academy should not exist on the continent!"
Just then, Tang Chuan suddenly spoke, breaking the chill in the air, his tone carrying a hint of probing, "Brother Xue, did you bring me here today just to meet School Master Ning?"
Qian Renxue heard this, and the corner of her lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile, saying,
"Not entirely. Strictly speaking, it's Teacher who wanted to see you. After all, Rongrong will be cultivating at your Academy in the future, and my identity is special on weekdays, so it's impossible for me to stay at the Academy all the time. Therefore, the task of taking care of Rongrong can naturally only be entrusted to you."
Nodding slightly, Tang Chuan's face showed a serious expression, saying,
"Of course. I will do my best to carry out Brother Xue's instructions."
With that, he turned back to Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo, cupped his fists, and bowed deeply, saying respectfully, "If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave first."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes flickered, carrying a hint of thought and consideration, then he exchanged glances with Qian Renxue beside him, and they both nodded simultaneously as if in unspoken agreement.
Immediately after.
Qian Renxue and Ning Fengzhi personally escorted Tang Chuan to the teahouse entrance.
Tang Chuan bid farewell to the three and returned to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Watching Tang Chuan's receding figure, Ning Fengzhi's smile gradually faded, and a hint of coldness appeared in the depths of his eyes. He said in a low voice,
"Qinghe, how did you get involved with this kid? Do you know that his relationship with Dugu Bo is extraordinary? And Dugu Bo is Prince Xue Xing's honored guest!"
At the same time, Bone Douluo also narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent seemingly flashing.
Qian Renxue seemed to have anticipated Ning Fengzhi's question, and simply said indifferently,
"Teacher, I naturally know this. Brother Tang Chuan's talent is outstanding, and even I can't see his future clearly. If it were any other Soul Master, with only a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, it would be difficult to achieve anything, but he is different. At such a young age, his Soul Power has already reached Rank 50. I believe that within twenty years, he will definitely become a figure who can summon wind and rain across the entire continent."
As her words fell, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo almost simultaneously trembled.
Both of their eyes showed horror, and even their breathing momentarily froze.
"What did you say?!"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly looked up, his voice extremely low, yet unable to hide the shock within, he said, "You said his Soul Power Rank has already reached Rank 50? This... how is this possible?!"
Bone Douluo's face showed an even more ruthless expression, and he said in a deep voice,
"If that's truly the case, then this person must not be allowed to live! If such a Prodigy were to grow, he would be enough to disrupt the balance of the entire continent. He is now close to Dugu Bo; if he were to suddenly defect to Prince Xue Xing's side in the future, he would definitely become a major obstacle to your succession to the throne!"
In his opinion, a Genius who cannot be used by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Must be eliminated as much as possible.
