But fortunately, this kind of life didn't last too long. After the major forces learned that Ning Fengzhi had a valued personal disciple, Xu Yang returned to his previous regular life.
It's just that he felt a sense of being spied on, and he didn't know if it was an illusion brought about by this incident.
It's a pity that this regular life didn't last long. A month later, Xu Yang had just finished absorbing the Eastern Purple Qi and was about to go to eat when he was told by the maid that Ning Fengzhi wanted him to come over.
Knowing that it might be another gathering of nobles, Xu Yang's face instantly fell.
Because of the corruption of the Heaven Dou Empire, most of the nobles here are just like those described in novels, arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable, very contemptuous of civilians, and can show all kinds of ugly faces for the sake of profit.
Especially after knowing that Xu Yang was Ning Fengzhi's disciple, they flattered him with fawning faces, using all kinds of means to seduce him with the female slaves in their families, and even their children, and even put drugs in his food and drink. If Ning Fengzhi hadn't reminded him, and if he hadn't been determined, he would have fallen for it.
These nobles knew very well that Xu Yang could be valued by Ning Fengzhi, he must be a genius, and his Spirit and Innate Soul Power must be strong. They were attracted to this point. As long as one of their daughters could get pregnant, their family would have a stable and powerful Spirit inheritance.
They also knew that as long as they didn't touch the bottom line of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wouldn't be able to do much to them even if they paid a little more for other Spirits.
He's just a child now, do they have to do this to him!
From then on, Xu Yang hated these nobles and resolutely resisted communicating with them. But he had no choice but to participate, because this is reality.
"Sigh!"
With a sigh, Xu Yang washed up and changed his clothes before leaving the room.
"Teacher, can I not participate in this gathering? Those nobles are really disgusting!" As soon as he entered the room, Xu Yang complained to Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Xu Yang's little expression and showed a helpless smile. He also knew the methods of those nobles, and he didn't like them either, but he had to face them. Some things are hard to grow without experiencing them.
"This is not a gathering. You are going to go to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace with me to meet Emperor Xue Ye and your future junior brother!"
"It's good that it's not a gathering!"
Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and understood who this junior brother was in his heart.
After a simple tidying up, Xu Yang, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi sat in a carriage and headed towards the palace, unimpeded along the way. As soon as the carriage entered Heaven Dou City, Xu Yang opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
He had been to Heaven Dou City many times during this period. It is indeed the imperial capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it is top-notch in all aspects. It is rare to see plainly dressed civilians on the streets. Most of them are wealthy merchants and nobles in gorgeous clothes and noble temperament.
From time to time, students wearing Heaven Dou Royal Academy uniforms ran past, making noise.
Of course, there were also scenes of nobles bullying ordinary people. At first, based on the conscience of his previous life, Xu Yang wanted to take care of it, but after seeing it too many times, he became numb and didn't bother to pay attention to it. He could save them once, but could he save them many times? In the end, it was the result of the social structure, which he could not change now.
Soon they arrived at the palace. As soon as they entered the city gate, they could see a wide avenue, comparable to the eight-lane highway of later generations, with precious green plants planted on both sides, trimmed neatly, and complementing the entire environment.
Not to mention the surrounding buildings, which are made of high-quality stone, showing luxury.
"The royal family really knows how to enjoy!"
Hearing Xu Yang's sigh, Ning Fengzhi just shook his head and didn't speak.
Finally, Ning Fengzhi and Xu Yang were taken to a palace, which was a side hall. Xu Yang didn't know the specific name. In the middle of the palace, there was a huge stone table with many exquisite pastries, food, and drinks on it.
Emperor Xue Ye was chatting with Prince Xue Xing. Except for Xue Beng, who was only two or three years old and didn't come, all four princes had arrived, but they didn't get together, but did their own things.
At this time, Xu Yang noticed that one of the children, who was one or two years older than him, looked at Ning Fengzhi with some resentment. Although it was well hidden, it was still noticed by Xu Yang.
"That is the Second Prince Xue Luochuan. After hearing that I was going to accept Xue Qinghe as a disciple, he began to complain about me, and even smashed everything in his room. He is a bit narrow-minded. Fortunately, I didn't choose him before."
Xu Yang was just about to remind Ning Fengzhi when he heard Ning Fengzhi's voice ringing in his ears. Obviously, Ning Fengzhi also saw Xue Luochuan's eyes, and even investigated the reactions of the other royal family members a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't know what happened in this prince's palace.
Xu Yang nodded, not speaking, as his cultivation had not yet reached the level of transmitting sound in secret. However, his gaze fell upon a black-haired boy next to the tallest golden-haired boy.
The boy wore a fake smile, following the golden-haired boy with gentle humility. His attire was not luxurious, at least compared to those present, appearing extremely simple, like the golden-haired boy's guard.
But what truly made Xu Yang notice him was not his attire, but a resonance originating from their Spirits, as if there was some kind of connection. Xu Yang had only seen this situation in the Library Pavilion of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. This was a phenomenon that only occurred when the compatibility between two Spirits was extremely high, allowing them to unleash Spirit Fusion Skills with one hundred percent success.
"Qian Renxue, is it?!"
Thinking of the attributes of his own Spirit, Xu Yang could only think of one Spirit, and that was the Six-Winged Angel Spirit. And in the current continent, only the Qian family possessed this Spirit, and in this Heaven Dou City, there was only Qian Renxue.
As a divinely bestowed Spirit, the Six-Winged Angel Spirit not only had Innate Soul Power reaching level twenty, but also possessed the ultimate Light and ultimate Fire attributes, similar to the Sun Spirit. However, the Sun Spirit was mainly Fire attribute, while the Six-Winged Angel was mainly ultimate Light. To a certain extent, the two complemented each other, able to make up for the part that was lacking in each of them.
Qian Renxue had obviously sensed it as well, smiling and nodding at Xu Yang, and then continued to follow behind Qian Renxue.
Xu Yang also nodded in response, as a greeting, and then followed Ning Fengzhi to Emperor Xue Ye's presence.
"Your Majesty, long time no see!"
"Xu Yang greets Your Majesty!"
Seeing Ning Fengzhi salute Emperor Xue Ye, Xu Yang quickly followed, learning to perform a salute.
"Sect Leader, is this your disciple?! He is indeed a talented individual!" Emperor Xue Ye accepted the salute and asked Xu Yang with a smile.
"This disciple is mischievous, causing Your Majesty to worry!" Ning Fengzhi replied with a smile.
