After conducting multiple tests on Xue Beng, even Tang Yuehua couldn't help but show a surprised expression...
She couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect Prince Xue Beng's talent to be so exceptional. It seems Emperor Xue Ye has misjudged!"
He originally thought Xue Beng only had some scheming, but unexpectedly, the other's talent was better than imagined!
Although not reaching the level of Xue Qinghe, he definitely could be called a genius!
He could completely be groomed to be the next emperor!
Xue Beng, rarely praised, felt a bit embarrassed, "Tang Xuanzhu, you flatter me. My talent isn't anything special. As for my father... it was because I hid my abilities first, so it's normal he couldn't understand the real situation!"
Tang Yuehua heard this, lifted her chin and pondered, "Prince Xue Beng, with your talent, there's no need to learn from me. It's more suitable to ask Emperor Xue Ye to have Sect Master Ning from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to instruct you."
What I am best at is etiquette and recognizing people. If Xue Beng's goal is to vie for the emperor's position, Ning Fengzhi, who also holds a high position, is more suitable to mentor him!
Xue Beng seemed to fall into deep thought after hearing this...
But soon, he reached a decision! His expression became resolute!
"Tang Xuanzhu, I don't want to trouble my father. Even though I've cleared my name in his eyes, I still can't gain his attention."
"Therefore, I still want to ask you to teach me, please!"
After speaking, he bowed his head deeply...
Tang Yuehua saw this, sighed, and then helped him up with her hand, "Since Prince Xue Beng is willing to trust me, I certainly won't refuse. However, although you are a prince, I won't go easy on you during the teaching, please bear this in mind!"
If you're going to let me teach, then you must first temporarily set aside your prince's status!
Xue Beng's face couldn't help but light up with joy upon hearing this, "Tang Xuanzhu, regarding this, I am already prepared. You need not concern yourself with my status as a prince during your teaching!"
Tang Yuehua nodded, "Good, I believe Prince Xue Beng will keep his word!"
"After that, you'll receive my personal instruction. Of course, you shouldn't neglect the Heaven Dou Royal Academy either!"
After all, although I have my domain, I'm almost like an ordinary person, incapable of becoming a Soul Master, let alone teaching that aspect!
...
Meanwhile, in the imperial palace!
Porcupine Douluo looked at Qian Renxue with an uneasy expression and then said, "Holy Daughter, the task you assigned me..."
Her beautiful eyes narrowed, "Is the task done?"
Porcupine Douluo shook his head, "I'm afraid I'm letting you down, Holy Daughter. I couldn't find an opportunity to act!"
"That Du Gu Bo's spiritual power is not much weaker than mine and is constantly following Xue Beng. Whenever I get close, the situation would be exposed. To be safe, I chose to monitor from afar only."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue was not angry...
Instead, she spoke in a deep voice, "It's okay, I can't blame you. After all, Du Gu Bo was specifically arranged by Xue Xing beside Xue Beng because he's worried I might harm him."
Then, she waved her hand, "Enough of that, just tell me what you've observed over these days!"
Porcupine Douluo breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Yes, Holy Daughter!"
"According to my observations over the last few days, Xue Beng and Du Gu Bo have visited Moon Pavilion and Heaven Dou Royal Academy multiple times, each time staying for a considerable duration!"
"Besides these, there were no anomalies!"
Xue Qinghe heard this and said with some puzzlement, "Multiple visits to the Moon Pavilion? Wasn't it said that Xue Beng was rejected several times by Tang Yuehua?"
"Could it be that she suddenly changed her attitude and decided to teach Xue Beng?"
But if she's willing to instruct, why repeatedly reject him!
This point remains incomprehensible!
Porcupine Douluo said cautiously, "Holy Daughter, doesn't this mean she's siding with Xue Beng?"
"Do you need me to ambush her next time she goes to the Hao Tian Clan and handle this matter?"
Tang Yuehua indeed holds a high status in Emperor Xue Ye's eyes. If she discovers anything unusual, there will be no way to keep our identities hidden!
Qian Renxue unhesitatingly rejected this proposal, "No, there are already issues within the Hao Tian Clan. If we act against Tang Yuehua now, it will surely attract attention!"
Porcupine Douluo swallowed and spoke again, "But Holy Daughter, if we don't do this, Xue Beng and Tang Yuehua being so close, there's no telling what they might say..."
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, "I understand Tang Yuehua's character. Without evidence, even if Xue Beng reveals all suspicions about me, he'll not easily gain her trust."
"Xue Beng is not foolish; he probably wouldn't act that way!"
"That said, unexpected situations can still arise. During this period, stay by my side and act cautiously!"
With Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo here, even if I am exposed, I should not face any life-threatening danger!
...
Worship Hall!
The worshippers felt the rapid increase in soul power and couldn't help but marvel, "Amazing, truly amazing, who knew we could train this way? I can clearly feel my cultivation speed has increased quite a bit!"
"Indeed, I thought Qian Jun and Xiao Long were exaggerating, but the result is surprisingly effective!"
"Qian Jun, Xiao Long, where did you two learn these things? Surely you didn't figure them out yourselves?"
Qianjun Douluo and Jiang Long Douluo exchanged a glance, both showing a proud expression...
The former shrugged again, "We don't have such skills. We just happened to hear about it from someone else!"
However, this statement was met with skepticism from the other worshippers...
"Is that really the case? It feels like you're pulling our legs!"
"Qian Jun, since you've shared this with us, surely you didn't intend to keep it secret. So, cut to the chase and tell us who taught you?"
"Yes, I must meet this person who has such high expertise in cultivation!"
Qianjun Douluo chuckled, "Alright, not going to tease you anymore. Actually, the person who taught me is someone you all know, it's Xu Sheng, who came a few days ago!"
One of the worshippers widened his eyes in disbelief, "What? It's him? But he's not even ten years old, right? Even with innate full soul power, he shouldn't know so much!"
Qianjun Douluo turned his back and sighed, "Not much to be surprised about, this is the difference between a genius and ordinary people. If you all wish to advance further, the best course is to..."
"Hm?"
"Where is everyone? Why've they all left?"
Turning back around, the place was already empty...
