Chapter 65 Crown Prince Xue Qinghe
Lin Qiyue accepted the greeting with a smile and said, "Sect Leader Ning, you flatter me. It was nothing more than some clever tricks. The academy is newly established and there are still many things that need improvement. I hope the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will provide more support in the future."
"Palace Master Lin, rest assured, the cooperation between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Silver Academy, and the Moon Goddess Palace will be the closest and most enduring."
Ning Fengzhi immediately expressed his opinion, his tone sincere. Having witnessed Lin Qiyue's almost miraculous abilities, he had already elevated her and the Moon Goddess Palace to a position on par with the Spirit Hall!
Being on good terms with and cooperating with such forces would only benefit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and would not cause any harm.
During the subsequent visit, Ning Fengzhi's mindset was completely different.
Time flew by in pleasant conversation.
Before they knew it, they had toured the main areas of the college. Ning Rongrong's enrollment procedures had already been completed by a specialist, and her dormitory had been arranged.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ning Fengzhi knew it was time to take his leave.
He pulled Ning Rongrong to his side, squatted down, and looked at his daughter's excited little face, gently instructing her, "Rongrong, from now on you will live and study independently here. Listen to Brother Lin and the teachers, study hard, cultivate diligently, and get along well with your classmates, understand?"
"Don't worry, Dad! Rongrong will definitely work hard and won't let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School down! Besides, Brother Lin is here, and there are many beautiful older sisters too."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, stood up, and bowed to Lin Qiyue again.
"Palace Master Lin, I entrust my daughter to you. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to visit again."
"Sect Leader Ning is always welcome."
Lin Qiyue returned the greeting with a smile.
"Rongrong is here, we will take good care of her."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin nodded to Lin Qiyue, and then, together with Ning Fengzhi, took one last deep look at the quietly standing ancient blue-silver tree and the surrounding vibrant blue-silver plants. Then, without lingering, they turned and walked towards the academy gate.
Their figures quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd outside the door, but what they saw and heard today will surely be deeply imprinted in their memories.
……
Time passed slowly.
After Ning Fengzhi and the others left.
Several more groups of people came to congratulate them.
The royal family, the Crown Prince's residence...
However, they all sent representatives instead of coming in person.
……
evening.
Tian Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence, Study.
The soft lighting illuminated the room.
Behind the desk, a handsome and refined young man dressed in bright yellow casual clothes, with a calm and composed demeanor, was intently reviewing the memorials and documents piled up on the desk.
He was Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Just as he finished approving a memorial concerning border defense and picked up his vermilion pen to continue, the air in the shadows of the corner of the study distorted slightly, and a figure shrouded in a black cloak, with an aura almost completely concealed, silently appeared and knelt on one knee facing the desk.
"Young Master."
Xue Qinghe paused slightly with his vermilion brush, then continued writing his comments on the memorial as if nothing had happened, asking without looking up, "What is it?"
"Reporting to the young master, the 'Blue Silver Advanced Soul Master Academy,' which you previously instructed us to keep an eye on, has officially started its semester today."
The shadowy figure respectfully reported.
"Oh?"
Xue Qinghe put down his vermilion pen and looked up.
"How is the situation?"
"Your subordinate was ordered to investigate, but... was unable to enter the academy."
"Poison Douluo Dugu Bo personally oversaw the area near the main gate, conducting extremely strict checks on anyone approaching the core area of the academy. Several cordon lines were also set up around the academy, all guarded by Soul Masters with considerable Soul Power. To avoid alerting the enemy, my subordinates dared not attempt to infiltrate."
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe frowned almost imperceptibly.
He had heard that Dugu Bo was personally in charge of the academy's security, but he hadn't expected that the other party would be so strict in protecting the academy.
"Go on."
His tone remained unchanged.
"Yes. Quite a few powerful groups have come to attend the ceremony and offer their congratulations today."
The shadowy figure continued.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Master Ning Fengzhi personally brought his daughter Ning Rongrong to the event and confirmed that Ning Rongrong would join the Blue Silver Academy as one of the first students. Ning Fengzhi chatted amiably with Dugu Bo and a young man known as Palace Master Lin, and his attitude was quite respectful. Sword Douluo Chen Xin also came along."
A glint of light flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes.
Ning Fengzhi personally escorted his daughter to school with a respectful attitude... This is enough to show how much the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School values this newly established academy, or rather, the Palace Master Lin.
The fact that Ning Fengzhi was able to lower himself shows that this Palace Master Lin is no ordinary person.
"also."
The shadowy figure added.
"The royal family, several ducal houses close to the royal family, and some military generals also sent congratulatory messages and gifts, but most of them were at the level of managers, and no heavyweights came in person. The Martial Soul Temple also seemed to have sent a routine congratulatory gift, but did not make any further statement."
Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the smooth tabletop as he fell into deep thought.
Blue Silver Academy... Dugu Bo... Ning Fengzhi... and that mysterious Palace Master Lin.
He had previously received intelligence that this academy had an extraordinary background, cooperated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and was headed by Dugu Bo, but his understanding of its core figure, Lin Qiyue, was very limited. He only knew that this person was young and mysterious, and was respectfully called Palace Master by his subordinates.
"Lin Qiyue..."
Xue Qinghe murmured the name.
"Investigate! Use every available channel, at any cost. I need to know the detailed background of this Lin Qiyue. Where does he come from? What power does he belong to? What is his relationship with Dugu Bo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Having infiltrated the Heaven Dou Empire for many years with a special mission, she is extremely vigilant against any emerging forces or mysterious figures that might stir up the situation on the continent, especially those that might affect the Spirit Hall's plans.
The strength and methods displayed by this suddenly appearing Lin Qiyue were too astonishing, forcing her to take him very seriously.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The shadowy figure agreed without hesitation.
Time passed day by day.
After dealing with matters at Blue Silver Academy, Lin Qiyue prepared to return to Sunset Forest.
The Blue Silver Academy is managed by this 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Tree, Dugu Bo, and Uncle Chen.
He couldn't stay in the academy forever, after all, the cultivation environment in Sunset Forest was on a completely different level from here.
He also needs to continue to improve his skills.
He brought Ning Rongrong along this time, since she was already a teammate he had reserved.
……
The setting sun deep in the forest.
When Ning Rongrong stepped into that area, she was completely stunned. Her mouth was slightly open, and her azure eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
She had been to Sunset Forest before.
As the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she had accompanied her father, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa to the outer area several times and witnessed the original appearance of Sunset Forest—ancient trees reaching the sky, vines entwined, soul beasts howling, full of primitive and wild atmosphere.
