3169 Chapter Inspection_1

Xue Qinghe hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Then I shall trouble you with this favor. It just so happens that I know very little about the army myself, and perhaps this is an opportunity to learn some!"

The man's face lit up with joy, "It is my honor to be able to explain to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Immediately after, he turned to look at the elder beside him, asking cautiously, "However, this senior..."

Whoever had been sent to protect the Crown Prince must at least be a Titled Douluo!

Although he himself was a general, when it came to power, he was hardly worth mentioning!

The elder, hearing this, simply waved his hand, "No matter, just explain for the Crown Prince. You may ignore me!"

He had little interest in these affairs; even if it was the army, they were but ordinary people after all!

Having said this, his Soul Power suddenly burst forth and he disappeared from the spot...

Of course, he had not left, but had chosen to protect from the shadows, also to avoid his presence affecting the conversation between the two!

The man immediately felt much less pressure and gestured with an inviting hand, "Crown Prince, please allow me to take you to where the soldiers train first. The grounds are somewhat rudimentary, I hope you won't mind..."

After all, the former resided in the imperial palace, enjoying conditions incomparable to this place; it was only normal for him to feel unaccustomed!!

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly to indicate that he did not mind, "Mmm, the senior has already informed me just now that the training grounds have been deliberately made this way in order to cultivate the soldiers' willpower, right??"

Upon hearing this, the man could only respond with an awkward laugh, "Hahaha, exactly, exactly!"

"If the training environment is too comfortable, the soldiers will become lazy and it will be impossible to cultivate outstanding soldiers!"

"All of this has been planned from the start!!"

Yet the truth was known only to him!

Although Xue Qinghe was somewhat suspicious, he did not expose the truth in public...

After all, his real identity was not that of the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, but the goddess of the Martial Soul Hall!

The more such events occurred, the better, as it would allow the Martial Soul Hall to infiltrate the Tiandou Empire from within!

By then, even with a massive army, the royal household would be no match at all!!

Thinking this, he changed the subject, "These soldiers, they don't have Soul Power, do they typically engage in close combat with weapons?"

The man came back to his senses and nodded, "Exactly, in large-scale battles, they mostly use close combat weapons!!"

"Only under certain specific circumstances would they use long-range weapons!"

Xue Qinghe's gaze sharpened as he pressed, "May I know what kind of long-range weapons the soldiers use? I have never heard of them!"

At this, the man's expression turned serious, "Regarding that, it's a secret of the Tiandou Empire, I must ask for your forgiveness as I cannot inform Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"However, you may inquire with His Majesty the Emperor, he can tell you!"

Without Xue Ye's command, he dared not divulge the specifics, even to the Crown Prince!!

Xue Qinghe showed no signs of displeasure, nodding, "I see, then I shall inquire with my father the emperor when I return!"

"Yes, Crown Prince, now let me introduce to you..."

...

Inside the grand hall of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!

The atmosphere was extraordinarily solemn!

Chen Xin and Gu Rong were staring intently at Ning Fengzhi...

"Feng Zhi, Ning Rongrong has not yet returned, how do you explain this??"

"Feng Zhi, I agreed to let Rongrong leave with the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect because I trusted your words, and you must give me an explanation!"

Hearing these words, Ning Fengzhi's expression was somewhat awkward, but he still spoke to reassure them, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, you don't need to worry so much. Rongrong is fine; otherwise, a Sect Disciple would definitely have come back to report!"

However, this time, Chen Xin and Gu Rong scoffed at this claim!

"Enough of that. Report back? With the strength of those sect disciples, if they really encountered a slightly stronger Soul Master, they wouldn't even be able to run away,"

"Exactly, this time, we will not be swayed by your smooth talk; you must give us a proper explanation!"

Clearly, they had lost confidence in his previous words!

Ning Fengzhi was somewhat helpless and sighed, "This… How should I explain it to you? Actually, I also sent a Soul Douluo level Elder to protect Rongrong."

"As long as she doesn't provoke any huge powers, there should be no problems!"

Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged looks, just about to say something…

But Ning Fengzhi interrupted them first, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, I know what you want to say, but please trust my judgment!"

Just then, a Seven Treasures Glaze Sect Disciple burst in, excitedly reporting, "Report… Sect Master, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Rongrong she has returned!!"

Now that this little witch was back, the ordinary disciples of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect could also feel at ease!

Chen Xin immediately stood up, his voice urgent, "Rongrong has returned? Good, good, then quickly have her come to the hall!!"

Gu Rong also stroked his beard with a smile, "It's good that Rongrong has returned on her own. Otherwise, we would have had to punish Feng Zhi no matter what!"

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but say irritably, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, I am the Sect Master, after all. In front of the disciples, could you please give me some face?"

Just moments ago, they were ready to have a life-and-death struggle with him, but now they changed their attitude instantly!

The disciple was also very tactful and immediately stated, "Sect Master, I…I didn't hear anything. I will go bring Rongrong over right now!"

With that, he turned and left…

Not long after, Ning Rongrong entered the hall escorted by some of the sect disciples…

Chen Xin couldn't wait to go over and held her up, "Rongrong, my dear Rongrong, you didn't encounter any dangers while away from the sect, did you?"

Ning Rongrong chuckled awkwardly, reminding him, "Sword… Sword Grandpa, I'm fine, didn't encounter any dangers. Can you please put me down? I can hardly breathe!"

Gu Rong slapped Chen Xin's hands hard, and the former finally landed on the ground…

Chen Xin frowned and chided, "Old Bone, are you mad? Why did you hit me?"

Gu Rong walked away with his hands behind his back, replying grumpily, "You're the mad one. Didn't you see Rongrong was about to be suffocated by your hold?"

Although Chen Xin was somewhat dissatisfied, he still said apologetically to Ning Rongrong, "I'm sorry, Rongrong. Sword Grandpa was just too excited!"

She laughed lightly, "I understand, Sword Grandpa is concerned about me!"

Then she turned her gaze to Ning Fengzhi and said, "Dad!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, feigning composure, "Mm, it's good that you're back safe and sound!"

He paused briefly, then asked, "However, I'm very curious, where did you go with the disciples this time?"

The time spent had been longer than he expected!!
