Qian Renxue quickly caught the flung Ling Yun in her arms and apologized to Ning Fengzhi with an apologetic expression.
"I apologize, Teacher. Most of its clan was killed by the powerhouses of Spirit Hall.
So, as soon as it hears the words 'Spirit Hall,' it loses control of its emotions. I apologize to you on its behalf."
Ling Yun, held in Qian Renxue's embrace, bared its teeth at Ning Fengzhi with a ferocious expression, continuously waving its claws at him.
"Brother Xue, let me go! I must fight him!
This person has spies in Spirit City, so he must have some connection to Spirit Hall. Anyone connected to Spirit Hall must die!!!"
Ling Yun's expression was filled with infinite hatred, even its eyes turned red.
Its body struggled violently, yet it always seemed unable to break free from Qian Renxue's embrace.
Qian Renxue secretly chuckled to herself. She hadn't expected Ling Yun's acting to be so good, that it could act opposite her.
If she hadn't known the true nature of this Heavenly Snow Weasel, she probably would have believed that Ling Yun harbored a deep hatred for Spirit Hall.
Ning Fengzhi's sword-like brows furrowed, and he stared at Ling Yun with a strange look.
"Your Highness, this little fellow can actually speak human words. Is it a Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast?
Its aura is clearly only two thousand years old, which is very strange."
Qian Renxue shook her head, looking gently at Ling Yun in her arms as she spoke.
"It's just a two-thousand-year-old Heavenly Snow Weasel. If it were a Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast, it wouldn't have been flung away by your hand.
Little Sable was encountered when I led a group into the Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast area of the Star Dou Great Forest. I saw that it was intelligent, understanding, and could speak human words, so I took it as a pet."
Her expression turned gloomy, and her eyes grew dim.
"After that, our team encountered a beast tide, a rare occurrence in the Star Dou Great Forest, happening only once every hundred years.
Our team engaged in a chaotic battle, fighting and retreating, and discovered the cause of the beast tide.
It was because Spirit Hall had dispatched several Titled Douluo level powerhouses, whose purpose was to capture the Three-Tailed Netherworld Tiger alive. The beast tide, while besieging them, also affected us…"
"What? How is that possible? That Three-Tailed Netherworld Tiger could actually trigger a beast tide?
Although it is the top of both the potential gold list and the advancement gold list, it shouldn't be that powerful. It can cause a beast tide?"
Ning Fengzhi's face was full of disbelief. He had heard of beast tides.
A beast tide was no laughing matter, especially one that included many Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beasts.
Facing a tide of beasts, fearless and like a mountain of creatures, even powerhouses like a Titled Douluo would turn pale.
Ning Fengzhi asked himself, if he were to lead people to the Star Dou Great Forest and encounter a beast tide that occurs once every hundred years, he would likely only have a one-in-ten chance of survival, or even no chance at all.
Qian Renxue showed a helpless bitter smile on her face.
"Although the Three-Tailed Netherworld Tiger is not particularly powerful, its elder brother—the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger—is a Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast.
Moreover, its strength is incredibly formidable. Even the two Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest were expelled by it from the core area, and it unified the Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast area of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Qian Renxue explained the cause of the beast tide she knew, and the bitter smile on her face grew deeper.
"It was also a disaster I brought upon myself. If I hadn't wanted to capture the Three-Tailed Netherworld Tiger, the elites I brought would not have encountered the beast tide."
At this moment, the bitter smile on her face transformed into fear and apprehension, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
"To fully cover my retreat, I personally witnessed those Empire elites being torn to shreds by the swarming beast tide, dying without a burial place. Teacher, I am guilty…"
Qian Renxue was already in tears at this moment, and her voice had become hoarse.
It was as if, at this moment, she had returned to that night's scene where countless individuals, willing to sacrifice their lives, charged against the defensive line formed by four Titled Douluo and dozens of elites.
Because this scene was personally experienced by Qian Renxue, the emotions she displayed at this moment were extremely infectious.
Even Ning Fengzhi, a Spirit Saint, felt a genuine sadness welling up from within him at this moment.
He sighed deeply, slowly walked to Qian Renxue's side, and gently patted her shoulder.
"So that's how it is, Your Highness. Please don't be too sad.
As long as you become Emperor in the future and can serve the country and its people well, their deaths will have been worth it."
Qian Renxue, with red eyes, nodded slightly and tentatively said to Ning Fengzhi.
"Teacher, can Qinghe ask you for a favor?"
Ning Fengzhi nodded without hesitation: "What is it? Your Highness, please speak frankly."
"I want to take a sum of money from the mansion. Teacher, please take the money to the families of these fallen soldiers and help me compensate them.
Originally, I should have gone in person, but unfortunately, Qinghe is still under house arrest, so could I please ask Teacher…"
Qian Renxue's humble tone and remorseful posture were exactly what a Crown Prince concerned about the nation and its people should look like.
Ling Yun couldn't help but be impressed by Qian Renxue's acting. It seemed that it wouldn't need to interfere too much this time; this outcome was already excellent.
As expected of Qian Renxue, who had been acting since she was young, this move not only completely dispelled Ning Fengzhi's doubts.
It also allowed him to witness this Crown Prince's willingness to correct mistakes and his concern for the country and its people.
Ning Fengzhi nodded decisively and immediately agreed.
"Your Highness, since you are unable to compensate the families of those fallen personnel due to your house arrest,
Then, as your Teacher, I am naturally willing to do it for you. Today, I will first thank Your Highness on behalf of those fallen personnel."
Ning Fengzhi clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue quickly helped Ning Fengzhi up, her face filled with remorse.
"Teacher, please don't humble your student so much. If I hadn't disobeyed my Imperial Father's orders back then, those Empire elites wouldn't have died.
Ultimately, it was my fault. I plan to reflect on myself for three months and will never be so reckless again."
Ning Fengzhi was very satisfied with Qian Renxue's attitude. He felt that perhaps accepting this student was the greatest fortune of his life.
A Crown Prince like Xue Qinghe, who was concerned about the nation and its people, respectful and humble, was simply poles apart from the dissolute Prince Xue Beng.
He found it very strange why the Crown Prince and Prince Xue Beng, despite being born of the same father, had such a vast difference between them.
He could already conclude that once Xue Qinghe inherited the throne of Emperor, he would become the Imperial Tutor, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would also rise in prominence.
Under Xue Qinghe's diligent governance, the entire Heaven Dou Empire would leapfrog its old rival, the Star Luo Empire, and even unify the entire Douluo Continent.
From then on, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would leverage this power to rule the world, becoming the strongest sect in the entire Douluo Continent! Even Spirit Hall would be no exception!!!
