Chapter 2607: Court Etiquette Academy_1

Xu Sheng did not say more, instead, he changed the subject, "It's still too early to speak of these matters, after all, the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire have not yet discovered its existence!"

But Porcupine Douluo clearly did not want to end the conversation, dissatisfied, he said, "You youngster, stop beating around the bush. We had an agreement, you'd tell us about future events, and we would search for that guy for you!"

Serpent Spear Douluo chimed in, "That's right, we've been kept in the dark. How can we trust you?"

Xue Qinghe coughed lightly and soothed, "Serpent Spear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, don't make things difficult for Xu Sheng. If he's unwilling to speak, it obviously isn't the right time yet!"

As for Xu Sheng, she no longer felt as guarded against him as she had at first.

Knowing that the former was trying to extricate him, Xu Sheng couldn't help but smile, "Ren Xue, thank you."

Xue Qinghe kept her emotions in check and simply nodded, "Mm."

"However, I guess Xue Ye will summon me to the great hall later, and before that, I must think about how to respond to his questions!"

For example, the previous teams from the Tiandou Empire might have perished at the mouths of soul beasts...

...

The man responsible for delivering the message knelt on one knee as soon as he returned to the palace, reporting with utmost respect, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the message has been delivered to the Crown Prince!"

Xue Ye responded softly, "Mm!" Then, those sharp eyes turned towards the ministers in attendance...

"My lords, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Although it was a question, it exuded absolute authority that was chilling to the bone...

These ministers glanced at each other, hesitating for a while before they expressed their opinions one after another...

"This subject believes that the vast number of soul beasts and their dense distribution make it normal for some to remain in these mountain ranges. We should continue the search to find the mastermind behind this!"

"This subject also thinks we should continue the search, otherwise, wouldn't others think our Tiandou Empire is easy to provoke!"

"Your Majesty, although only small groups of soul beasts have appeared so far, we can't rule out a large number hiding within the mountains. To avoid unnecessary casualties, this subject suggests halting the search!"

"Mm, the Martial Soul Hall is growing stronger, and our relations with the Xingluo Empire are not exactly harmonious, with the potential of becoming enemies at any moment. We cannot afford to waste our precious military power on these soul beasts!"

Xue Ye nodded slightly, pondering, "Mm... What you say makes sense. However, I believe that the Tiandou Empire is too vast to be shaken by the likes of Martial Soul Hall or Xingluo Empire!"

In his eyes, Xingluo Empire wasn't likely to launch an attack on the Soul Land anytime soon, as doing so would be mutually destructive!

As for Martial Soul Hall?

That Pope would have to show deference when meeting him, not to mention that Martial Soul Hall was spread throughout the Tiandou Empire, constantly under surveillance and couldn't become a significant threat!

As soon as he said this, those who had been opposed promptly changed their opinions...

"Your Majesty speaks the utmost truth; Xingluo Empire and Martial Soul Hall, even the Great Sects, wouldn't dare to oppose our royal household!"

"Truly wise, Your Majesty. We must catch those who attacked our Tiandou Empire's team and proclaim it throughout the entire continent!"

"Since Your Majesty feels this way, this subject has no objections!"

Xue Ye did not waste words, and immediately ordered, "So be it, this is the decision. Dispatch a group of Soul Masters immediately to the mountains to exterminate the soul beasts!"

All the ministers responded in unison, "As you command, Your Majesty!"

They then excused themselves very tactfully...

It was then that Xue Ye turned to the Soul Master hidden in the shadows, "Is the task you were assigned complete?"

Upon hearing this, the latter lowered his head and answered, "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to inform the Sect Master of Seven Treasure Glazed Sect of the situation. However, the other party has not given a specific response yet."

"But I think, since it is a request from His Majesty the Emperor, they will certainly not refuse!"

Weeks ago, Xue Ye already wanted to personally visit the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to request that Sect Master Ning Fengzhi serve as Xue Qinghe's teacher!

However, due to the multitude of matters at hand, they could only dispatch a subordinate to convey the message!

There are two benefits to this approach.

Firstly, it would stabilize the relationship between the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect and the Tian Dou Imperial Family.

Secondly, it would enhance Xue Qinghe's abilities!!

Xue Ye nodded and then cautioned, "Mm, but if Sect Master Ning refuses to become Qing He's teacher, do not provoke the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect."

After all, they are one of the upper three families; offending them would not be good for the entire royal household.

The soul master would naturally not defy Xue Ye, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

...

Meanwhile, Tang San had already followed Tang Hao to a strange place...

Looking at his father, he asked puzzledly, "Dad... Dad, what are we doing here?"

Tang Hao just gave him a cold look, "Don't you want to become a Soul Master?"

Then, he continued walking forward...

Finally, they reached an enormous and intricately decorated building, clearly a place meant for the nobility to study!

Stopping his steps, Tang San unconsciously swallowed, "Dad... Dad, are you saying that the place you're taking me to is here?"

Tang Hao's expression was somewhat complex, but he did not deny it, "That's right!"

Having received confirmation, Tang San looked upwards from the bottom and saw the clearly exquisitely carved signboard...

"But this place is called... Heaven Dou Imperial Court Etiquette Academy, it should only accept noble scions, right?"

Moreover, an etiquette academy - could one truly become a Soul Master by studying in such a place?

He harbored deep doubts...

Tang Hao didn't answer but grabbed Tang San and headed straight for the gates of the Court Etiquette Academy...

He said to the two guards responsible for overseeing the entrance, "Please inform Yue Xuan Master that Tang Hao seeks an audience."

The guards eyed them carefully...

As expected, they faced mockery...

"Who are you paupers from, hurry up and scram; this is a place where only the nobility can enter!"

Tang Hao did not become angry, but the look in his eyes grew several degrees colder...

The guards felt a chill on their backs but still brazened it out, "What? You want to start a fight here? Are you looking for death?"

Tang Hao slightly released a few strands of terrifying aura, "I'll say it one last time, please inform Yue Xuan Master that Tang Hao seeks an audience!!"

The two guards indeed felt the terrifying aura and realized that the man was not someone they could afford to provoke, so their tone softened a little...

"Please, please wait a moment, I'll go in and report right away!!"

Having said that, one of the guards hurried inside to pass on the message...

As for the other guard, he forced a smile and said, "Please... Please wait here for a moment, informing the Master takes some time!"
