Chapter 110: A Private Conversation with Xue Qinghe
Just as Jiang Li was preparing to continue guiding the training of his team members, a voice as warm as a spring breeze slowly sounded from a distance, "Excellency Jiang Li, you have truly made it difficult for me to find you."
"And Sect Master Tang, I hope you have been well."
"The Tang Sect has caused quite a stir recently; I hear news about you almost every day."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and the newcomer was none other than the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe.
As for why Qian Renxue would come looking for him at this time, Jiang Li was completely baffled.
However, since she had already arrived, he had to maintain appearances.
"So it is Your Highness the Crown Prince. You are a rare guest indeed."
"May I ask what guidance you have for me?"
Jiang Li wore a smile as warm as a spring breeze, identical to the one on Qian Renxue's face, causing her to momentarily freeze in place.
However, having been an undercover agent struggling within the whirlpool of the Heaven Dou Empire for so many years, Qian Renxue quickly regained control over her expression.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy is technically under my management now. Just today, my people told me that the former Blue Tyrant Academy sent someone to invite our Empire's elites to a friendly match."
"The person who came to report was Qin Ming, who was previously expelled from our Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Therefore, as soon as I received the news, I came to find you, Excellency Jiang Li, to ask if we should accept this so-called friendly match?"
"At the same time, the Tang Sect is, after all, a Sect located within the borders of my Heaven Dou Empire, and the Imperial Family also wishes to have a closer relationship with the Tang Sect."
Hearing this, a faint, almost imperceptible smile played at the corners of Jiang Li's mouth.
He guessed that at this point in time, that group of unruly Shrek students must have arrived, and that buzz cut, Yu Xiaogang, had developed some strange delusions after learning about Tang San's cultivation speed.
He wanted to use a so-called friendly match to verify some of his abstract ideas.
" Yu Xiaogang, oh Yu Xiaogang, you are truly courting death."
Jiang Li shook his head and refused directly, "Your Highness, I have heard a bit about that academy's affairs. They are nothing more than a ragtag bunch."
"Compared to having a so-called friendly match with them, I am more curious about the deepening of our relationship that you just mentioned."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Renxue's eyes instantly lit up. She immediately made a gesture of invitation toward Jiang Li, signaling for him to go with her to a quiet place for a detailed discussion.
"Little San, take these little fellows and Cultivate well. As for the rest, I will arrange everything for you."
Tang San nodded, indicating that he understood...
...
Soon, Jiang Li followed Qian Renxue out of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and they were met by Qin Ming, who had been waiting there for a long time.
The other party thought that Jiang Li had agreed to the matter Yu Xiaogang had entrusted to him, and was scurrying over to discuss the follow-up details.
Hum—
A surge of Soul Power suddenly erupted from Jiang Li's body. Not only did it knock Qin Ming to the ground, but it also startled Qian Renxue. 'He... why does it feel like he's grown stronger again..."
Qin Ming, falling to the ground like a dead dog, also looked terrible. Over the years, under the influence of Yu Xiaogang's halo of wisdom, his Soul Power had increased significantly, and he was even touted by Flender as the second youngest Soul Emperor on the continent.
However, facing the pressure that Jiang Li had suddenly released, he felt like an ant.
"This... how is this possible?"
"This kind of pressure is actually stronger than Dean Flander and Vice Dean Zhao Wuji?!"
Jiang Li clearly had no intention of explaining anything to the bewildered Qin Ming.
He only said in a very cold tone, "Go back and tell the people of your Third-rate Academy not to spend all day thinking about these useless things. If you want to scout my students, you will naturally have a chance when your Third-rate Academy manages to break into the finals of the Spirit Master Elite Competition."
With those words, Jiang Li and Qian Renxue left without looking back.
Hearing someone insult his Alma Mater like that, Qin Ming clenched his fists repeatedly. Ultimately, the small amount of logic remaining in his mind took over, and he left dejectedly, returning to Shrek Academy.
...
Inside an elegant room in the Eastern Palace.
Jiang Li and Qian Renxue sat opposite each other.
Because she was unsure of Jiang Li's current strength and to avoid exposing her identity, only the two of them were in the room. The two Titled Douluo, Snake Lance and Porcupine Fish, had retreated a hundred meters away.
Qian Renxue looked at Jiang Li with curiosity, "Excellency Jiang Li, why do I feel that you have a great deal of malice toward the current Shrek Academy?"
"The former Blue Tyrant Academy was one of the few high-level Soul Master academies in the Empire willing to accept commoner Soul Masters, and its reputation was quite good."
Hearing this, Jiang Li chuckled and shook his head. He slowly picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip, and then spoke with a half-smile, "Your Highness, whether it was the previous Blue Tyrant Academy or the current merged Shrek Academy, I feel that their higher-ups are people with problematic brains. Naturally, I would dislike them."
"Oh? I would like to hear more."
Seeing that Qian Renxue's curiosity had been piqued, a glint of cunning flashed in Jiang Li's eyes.
He was truly looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Qian Renxue would have when she realized she almost gained a Fake Father.
However, this matter could not be rushed; it had to be done slowly.
"I have also heard a little about this newly joined Shrek Academy."
"Previously in Soto City, their Dean Flander used the name of Spirit Hall to claim that joining their academy would make one a Viscount of the Empire, and that the youngest Elder of Spirit Hall today also came from their academy."
"Zhao Wuji, who was once hunted by Spirit Hall, is also employed in this Third-rate Academy."
"I feel that this is less like an academy and more like a Den of Thieves."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Renxue's brow furrowed imperceptibly.
As the Young Lord of Spirit Hall, it was truly outrageous that she didn't know about such things!
She really didn't know how that woman was managing Spirit Hall!
Jiang Li continued,
"There is one thing that Your Highness might have heard a bit about, and that is the scandal within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan years ago that violated human ethics."
The trait of enjoying gossip is universal, and clearly, Qian Renxue was no exception.
She had heard of the matter between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong back then. Could there be something else she didn't know?
"You know that waste named Yu Xiaogang, right, Your Highness?"
"The 'Continent's Number One Theory Master' who could never Breakthrough Rank 29 in his entire life."
"I have naturally heard a little about him."
Qian Renxue replied.
"Don't look at how this Master Yu's talent as a Soul Master is lacking and his theoretical research is a pile of crap; in terms of relationships, he can be considered a true winner."
