Chapter 7 He vomited blood
Chapter 7 Vomiting Blood
"Duke, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is just around the corner. I happen to be going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I wonder if you would be free to come along?" Xue Qinghe asked.
Every time he met Leosley, they would part ways after a meal, so Xue Qinghe wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him.
"Of course, but I'll have to trouble His Highness to lead the way," Leosley replied. Why is he being so agreeable this time?
Xue Qinghe didn't show anything on his face, still smiling, and said, "Not at all, Duke, you're too kind." After saying that, Xue Qinghe turned and walked towards the door, while Leosley gave Siegwen a look. The latter nodded slightly and quickly followed. After calling him Duke for a while, Xue Qinghe found that he didn't seem so resistant to it anymore, and it felt like Leosley really was a duke. Because Leosley certainly had the air of a duke. Their every word and action was completely unlike that of ordinary people. If Xue Qinghe hadn't known some of Leosley's background, he probably would have thought Leosley had studied at Yuexuan Academy. After all, Yuexuan was a place for training nobles. After lunch, the three hit it off immediately and headed straight out of the city, appearing quite carefree. The Heaven Dou Royal Academy was located on a mountain range outside Heaven Dou City, not far from the city; an ordinary person could reach it in half an hour. However, for Soul Masters, it was practically a short trip. As the three strolled leisurely along the road, some powerful forces behind them had already noticed their commotion and began whispering amongst themselves, speculating enthusiastically about the Crown Prince and Leosley's intentions. "Hey, look, they're heading towards the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. It seems their destination is definitely there!"
Sure enough, there were quite a few clever people. Based on Leosley's group's route, everyone roughly guessed their destination, as if a small deduction game was unfolding.
Even if he was a fake Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, he still had many guards, but seeing Leosley, these guards were unnecessary. They
could just pretend to follow behind.
"What are the Duke and Crown Prince doing at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
"Are you stupid?! The Soul Master Competition is in a few months. Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy has been suppressed by the Spirit Hall Academy for so many years. His Highness the Crown Prince naturally needs to inspect it."
"Then why doesn't the Crown Prince go? Why bring the Duke and Miss Sigwen along?"
"What do you think? Do I have to spell it out?"
"You riddle-maker!"
There were constant whispers along the way.
The academy was built on a mountain range, and there were over a thousand steps to reach the academy gate.
Entering the mountain, one could truly appreciate the scale of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. The stone steps were carved from white marble, each step adorned with a different soul beast pattern, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. The setting sun cast dappled, pale red shadows on the stone steps, adding to the tranquility and charm.
Before even reaching the top, several people dressed in Royal Academy uniforms rushed down the mountain, protecting a man whose face was swollen and mangled. Clearly, he had just been in a fight.
"Fourth Brother, what happened to you?" Xue Qinghe initially didn't recognize the man with the swollen face, but was astonished upon recognition.
The man with the swollen face was none other than her nominal "Fourth Brother," the Fourth Prince of Tiandou, Xue Beng.
Xue Beng had just been beaten and had intended to seek justice and have his facial injuries treated, but upon seeing Xigewen, he froze for a moment.
Then, he scrambled forward.
If Leios hadn't signaled to Xue Qinghe to stop him, Xue Beng would likely have already reached the top.
Xue Qinghe, standing to the side, helplessly covered her forehead.
"Miss Xigewen, help!" Xue Beng cried out, covering his face.
This scene made Leiosli, walking behind Xue Qinghe, shake his head, but he didn't say anything.
The prince had gone too far.
Although there was an element of feigning weakness, Xue Beng truly thought he was a fool!
The kind-hearted Xigewen naturally couldn't stand idly by. She took a small box from the heart-shaped "Melushin Dedicated Integrated Portable Medical Device" at her waist, opened it, and took out a small syringe-shaped object.
She crushed it with her fingers, and a lot of dark green liquid flowed out.
"Open your mouth," Xigewen said, inserting the syringe into Xue Beng's mouth and pouring in the dark green liquid.
"Eh? Hiss..."
Xue Beng immediately felt a refreshing, cool sensation spreading rapidly from his mouth throughout his body. The pain on his face vanished instantly, and he felt incredibly refreshed.
At the same time, he also felt a very special, wonderful sensation, and couldn't help but groan.
Xue Qinghe, standing beside her, looked at Xigewen, her expression also stunned.
This kind of treatment was something she had never seen before.
It's important to know that healing methods in the Douluo Continent primarily rely on martial souls, with very few involving external objects.
Furthermore, physicians in the Douluo Continent are generally referred to as healing-type soul masters.
Seeing Xue Beng healed by Xigewen, Xue Qinghe thought about finding an opportunity to discuss this matter with Leosley.
Before Xue Qinghe could ask further, Xue Beng recovered. If Xue Qinghe hadn't been there, he probably would have kowtowed twice to Xigewen.
Respect for the strong and the virtuous is a required course for members of the royal family, and Xue Beng naturally knew it too.
But a spoiled brat should be spoiled to the end, so after being healed, he merely thanked her and left.
It was probably because Leosley was present; if Leosley hadn't been there, he probably would have run up and clung to Xigewen's leg.
And Xue Qinghe?
Seeing that Xue Beng had only thanked him briefly, and then looked apologetically at Siegwen, he slowly said, "I'm sorry, Fourth Brother can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. I hope Miss Siegwen won't take offense."
"It's alright."
Siegwen waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind.
The main campus of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was entirely made of single-story buildings, making it feel like a fortress. The outer walls were five meters high, entirely bright yellow, and looked extremely beautiful. Even the tops of the walls were covered with glazed tiles, which were particularly dazzling under the setting sun.
Afterwards, Xue Qinghe invited Leosli and Siegwen to go inside the teaching building.
"This place feels... compared to Fontainebleau..." Siegwen lightly touched her lips with her index finger, her pretty and lovely face slightly furrowed.
"Is it very simple?"
"No, it's all very nice. Having gotten used to the water in Fontainebleau, you should really observe the scenery here!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her small hand and grasped Leosli's large hand.
"Let's go."
Leosli nodded.
Xue Qinghe led the way, but he could naturally hear Leosley and Siegwen's conversation.
Fontaine?
It seemed this wasn't the first time Leosley and the others had used that word.
