"Dad, can Xiaowu come with me?"
Tang San did not immediately agree to Tang Hao's words, but asked instead.
"Tiandou City is not the same as a small place like Soto City."
Tang Hao shook his head, "In Tiandou City, there are many powerful practitioners. Although there might not necessarily be any Titled Douluos, who can say for sure there aren't any Titled Douluos who might just be passing through and happen to discover Xiaowu's identity?"
"It's the best choice for her to remain in the Aquipeia Forest, at least for now."
As he spoke, Tang Hao looked at Xiaowu, "If you want to go to the outside world with Xiaosan, I won't stop you once you've reached maturity. By then, at least you will have the strength to protect yourself."
"That's going to take forever!"
Xiaowu's face immediately turned pale.
"That's still better than being turned into a Soul Ring or soul bone, isn't it?"
Tang Hao's gaze remained fixed on Xiaowu as he spoke indifferently.
This time, Xiaowu did not insist anymore. She lightly nodded, "Senior is right; under these circumstances, it's indeed not suitable for me to enter the human world anymore."
She turned her gaze to Tang San, "Xiaosan, but you must remember to come back and visit me, okay?"
"Dad, I don't want to leave this place either..."
Tang San had a thought and made his decision.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Tang Hao interrupted him.
"You're different from Xiaowu, you're a human Soul Master. This forest is not suitable for your growth. Only by continuously battling against powerful opponents can you grow quickly!"
Tang Hao spoke with a stern face and shook his head, "Moreover, Titan is not just any Soul Douluo. He also has another identity, one of the three remaining Divine Craftsmen on Soul Land. He can provide you with a lot of help in forging as well!"
"Then..."
"Alright then."
Seeing the undeniable tone in Tang Hao's voice, Tang San did not insist further.
Of course.
He also knew that even if he persisted, it would definitely be of no use.
Seeing that Tang San and Xiaowu had no objections, Tang Hao spoke in a deep voice: "Go pack your things; we leave immediately."
...
The sun shone high in the sky.
Qin Xiao leisurely made his way to Yue Xuan's front door.
"In my previous life, there were various clubs, and this academy is essentially the Soul Land version of a club, and it's exclusively for the nobility."
Remembering the information about Yue Xuan, Qin Xiao couldn't help but take an extra glance.
"Who are you? Stand back there if you want to look."
"Unrelated people are forbidden to linger in front of Yue Xuan!"
After a moment, two people walked out of Yue Xuan and spoke to Qin Xiao.
In fact, they had observed for a while.
Qin Xiao was dressed appropriately, but not luxuriously, not like the nobles who came here to spend money.
"Hmph, even this snobbish attitude is quite authentic."
Qin Xiao nodded to himself.
However, he did not directly harm others as Tang Hao did in the original work.
Instead, he took out an invitation from his pocket and threw it in one of their faces.
"What's this?"
The man was surprised and hurriedly caught the invitation that was about to fall to the ground.
When he saw the big signature of "Xue Qinghe" on it, the man became even more panicked, "He, he, he..."
"What's with him?"
The other person, puzzled, also looked over.
Instantly, his face turned pale in shock.
What?
He is the esteemed guest invited by the Crown Prince?
"Sir, please forgive me for my lack of vision and unintentional offense."
The two people's attitude towards Qin Xiao changed completely, turning to a full one hundred and eighty degrees.
Bowing repeatedly.
They were nearly kowtowing to Qin Xiao.
"Ignorance is not a crime; lead the way ahead."
Being only minor characters, Qin Xiao didn't bother to make things difficult for them.
...
Regal and elegant, lavishly understated.
This was Qin Xiao's impression after entering Yue Xuan.
Under the guidance of a pageboy, Qin Xiao went directly to the second floor, stopping outside a door.
Knock knock knock.
The pageboy lightly knocked on the door, speaking softly, "Crown Prince, your distinguished guest has arrived."
As his words fell, Qin Xiao clearly heard a series of hurried footsteps from inside the room.
Creak.
The door opened.
Qin Xiao saw a face that was somewhat familiar.
"President Meng?"
He was somewhat surprised.
But upon reflection, it made sense.
According to the original work, before Xue Qinghe's defection, all three of the executive committee members of Sky Dou Royal Academy were loyal to the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Otherwise, Xue Xing and Avalanche would not have pressed so closely, desperately trying to prevent Xue Qinghe from expanding his influence.
"Your Highness, I did not expect us to meet again so soon."
President Meng showed Qin Xiao a smile and then stepped aside, "Please, come in."
Stepping into the room, a figure with his back to Qin Xiao suddenly turned around.
It was a handsome young man, about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a kind smile on his lips.
Without saying more,
At first glance, he was someone you just couldn't dislike, no matter what.
Xue Qinghe!
Qin Xiao had already called out his name in his heart.
Of course, he also knew Xue Qinghe's other identity, that of the daughter of the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, Qian Renxue!
"Qinghe greets His Majesty the Thunder Emperor."
At this moment, Xue Qinghe greeted Qin Xiao with a bow, his attitude extremely humble.
"Since Qinghe's identity is special, I could not go out to welcome Your Highness and hope Your Highness will not take offense."
"Later, I will voluntarily take three penalties to make amends."
It must be said, Xue Qinghe knew how to socialize.
Even though Qin Xiao knew all this was just a facade, he found it quite pleasant.
"Your Highness needn't be so formal; I am not one to take offense over such trivial matters,"
Qin Xiao said with a light smile, casually responding.
It seems this person is easier to get along with than I thought.
