—------------------—
Xue Tianxing sat alone in the pavilion, looking at the two little girls still happily playing on the ice, but he couldn't help but think of the conversation he had just had with Shui Bing'er.
He believed that with the support of his mother Yu Ningxin, Shui Binger's stay in the Barak Kingdom would be successfully facilitated.
Just as he was lost in thought, a gentle voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Cousin Tianxing, why are you sitting here alone?"
Xue Tianxing was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Xue Qinghe walking slowly towards him with a gentle smile on his face.
"Qian Renxue? Why would she come to see me?"
Xue Tianxing's heart was filled with alarm, but he stood up calmly and saluted:
"Greetings to His Highness the Second Prince."
Xue Qinghe quickly stepped forward, gave him some support, and said with a smile:
"Cousin Tianxing, there's no need to be so polite. Speaking of seniority, we're family for several generations. There's no need to be so formal."
When Xue Qinghe spoke, his eyes seemed to casually sweep over Xue Tianxing, but in fact he was secretly observing his reaction.
Xue Tianxing sneered in his heart, but said in a coherent manner:
"Your Highness, you're joking. I'm sitting here to look after Miss Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and my friend's sister Shui Yue'er, to prevent any accidents while they're playing on the ice. But Your Highness, why are you in the garden instead of staying in the main hall with the guests?"
Xue Qinghe followed his gaze to the two little girls on the ice, nodded, then turned to look at Xue Tianxing, with a tone of appreciation:
"I came here specifically to meet the number one genius of our Heaven Dou Empire. After all, there are only a handful of soul masters with the innate full soul power of the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit in the entire continent. It is no exaggeration to say that you are the leader of the younger generation of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment."
Xue Tianxing quickly said modestly, "There are so many geniuses on this continent. I'm just lucky. How can I deserve the title of 'No. 1 Genius'?"
As Xue Tianxing spoke, he quickly calculated in his mind:
Qian Renxue suddenly came to see me and said all these polite words. What on earth did she want to do?
Is she really just here to win me over?
Or did she notice something?
Just as Xue Tianxing was thinking, Xue Qinghe had quietly approached him a few steps.
This time, she felt more clearly the deeply hidden sacred aura on Xue Tianxing's body - that aura was of the same origin as her six-winged angel martial spirit. Although weak, it was like a firefly in the dark night and could not be completely concealed.
"I see..."
Xue Qinghe suddenly understood and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
She finally understood that Xue Tianxing's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was probably just an appearance. He must have another Martial Soul hidden in him, and this Martial Soul might be related to angels.
This discovery made her surprised and alert, but also aroused great interest.
However, Xue Qinghe did not point it out immediately, but smiled and said to Xue Tianxing:
"Cousin Tianxing, you are too modest. With your talent, your future achievements are boundless. I would like to wish you a speedy breakthrough to the Titled Douluo level and become another pillar of our Tiandou Empire. It's getting late, and I should return to the main hall. Please take your time and sit down."
After saying that, she nodded slightly at Xue Tianxing, turned around and left the garden.
Xue Tianxing looked at Xue Qinghe's departing back, his brows furrowed tightly, his heart full of doubts:
"What on earth is she trying to do? First she stared at me, now she's saying these incomprehensible things, and she's even got that weird smile on her face... Did she really discover something?"
Xue Tianxing couldn't understand Qian Renxue's intention, and only felt an invisible pressure looming in his heart.
After leaving the garden, Qian Renxue did not return to the banquet hall, but went around to a remote rockery in the palace.
She looked around, confirmed that no one was around, and then whispered to the air:
"Come out."
Two dark figures instantly emerged from the darkness and knelt on one knee in greeting:
"Greetings, Young Master!"
These two people are none other than the Thorny Porpoise Douluo and Snake Spear Douluo of the Spirit Hall. They were sent by the Qiandao Liu to secretly protect Qian Renxue's safety.
Snake Spear Douluo looked up and asked:
"Young Master, you just went to see Prince Barak. Did you discover anything wrong with him? If necessary, I will eliminate him now to prevent future trouble."
Qian Renxue waved her hand, her tone solemn:
"No need to do anything. I suspect Xue Tianxing's identity is not simple. He carries a sacred aura that originates from our angel clan. He is definitely not an ordinary Ice Phoenix spirit master.
One of you must immediately return to Wuhun City and consult my grandfather to find out if any of our angels are stranded abroad, especially those with bloodlines related to the Barak Kingdom."
The Thorny Porpoise and Snake Spear Douluo looked at each other and were both shocked - the blood of the angel clan is so noble, if Xue Tianxing really has angel blood, then things will be complicated.
The two did not dare to neglect it, and Snake Spear Douluo immediately said:
"I will return to Wuhun City immediately!"
Before he finished speaking, he disappeared outside the palace wall in a flash, while Thorny Porpoise Douluo retreated into the darkness again and continued to lurk and guard.
Qian Renxue looked at the direction where Snake Spear Douluo left, and a complex light flashed in her eyes - if Xue Tianxing is really a descendant of the angel clan, then is he an enemy or a friend?
How will this affect her plans?
At the same time, beside the octagonal pavilion in the garden, Xue Tianxing was looking down at Ning Rongrong and Shui Yueer chasing and playing on the ice, the doubts in his heart had not yet completely dissipated.
Just then, a steady sound of footsteps was heard. He looked up and saw his father Xuezhe, Liu Tianfeng, and Dugu Bo walking towards him with Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo.
Xue Tianxing quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Greetings to Sect Master Ning, and to His Majesty Sword Douluo!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on Xue Tianxing, his eyes full of admiration:
"Little Prince Tianxing, there's no need to be so polite. I've long heard that you're a genius born with imbued soul power. Seeing you today, I can see you're truly a handsome man with an extraordinary bearing. You're bound to achieve great things in the future."
Xuezhe heard this and smiled proudly, cupping his hands and saying:
"Master Ning, thank you for your praise. This child still has a lot to learn. I hope you can give him more guidance in the future."
"Your Majesty, you are very kind. This young man is very talented and hardworking. He has a promising future."
Ning Fengzhi laughed heartily and turned to Ning Rongrong on the ice, shouting, "Rongrong, come over here when you've had enough fun. We should go back to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
Ning Rongrong, who was skating with Shui Yue'er, immediately showed a reluctant expression on her face when she heard this. She slowly slid to the shore, pulled Ning Fengzhi's clothes and whispered:
"Dad, can I still come here to play in the future?"
Without waiting for Ning Fengzhi to answer, Xuezhe said with a smile:
"Of course! Our Barak Kingdom welcomes Princess Rongrong to visit us anytime. Tianxing will play with you then."
Ning Rongrong immediately smiled happily: "Thank you, Uncle Xue!"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly and bowed to Xuezhe and the others, saying goodbye: "Your Majesty, Frost Sword Douluo, Poison Douluo, we have thoroughly enjoyed this celebration banquet. We will now take our leave. If you require any assistance from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the future, please feel free to ask."
"Master Ning, take care!" Xuezhe and others bowed and saw him off.
Sword Douluo Chenxin nodded slightly to Liu Tianfeng as a greeting, then turned and left with Ning Fengzhi. Ning Rongrong did not forget to turn around and wave to Xue Tianxing and Shui Yueer:
"Goodbye!"
Looking at the backs of Ning Fengzhi and his group leaving, Xuezhe patted Xue Tianxing on the shoulder:
"Well, the party is almost over, and we should go back and greet the other guests."
