"Enough!"
Just as Xue Beng, losing all reason, was hacking at the furniture with his sword, a low, authoritative voice, laced with a hint of disappointment, suddenly came from outside the hall.
Immediately after, an old man wearing a large yellow robe, with his hair neatly combed back, walked in slowly.
When Xue Beng saw the old man appear, the longsword in his hand clattered to the ground with a "clang," and he subconsciously called out.
"Un... Uncle, why are you here?"
The old man in the large yellow robe was none other than Emperor Xue Ye's brother, Snow Star Prince!
Snow Star Prince did not reply to Xue Beng, but instead looked at the chaotic scene within the palace, a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
He then frowned and said in a deep voice, "What are you panicking about? That Qi Lin hasn't completely sided with Xue Qinghe yet, and you're already causing chaos for yourself."
"Look at yourself now, what do you look like?"
"Can senselessly and furiously hacking at some furniture help you defeat Xue Qinghe?"
After hearing Snow Star Prince's words, Xue Beng took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.
"Uncle, then tell me..."
"What should we do next?"
"Now, more and more people are leaning towards Xue Qinghe, even those three old fogeys in the Education Committee are more inclined towards Xue Qinghe. If this continues, I'll have absolutely no chance."
Snow Star Prince snorted coldly and said, "The more this happens, the less you can rush. In fact, you should show your profligate side even more."
"Don't forget how your second and third brothers died. Do you also want to die inexplicably like them?"
Xue Beng said unwillingly, "But I can't just do nothing and watch Xue Qinghe gradually become the new emperor of Heaven Dou Empire, can I?"
"I'm not reconciled!"
Snow Star Prince glanced at Xue Beng indifferently and said mercilessly, "The only thing you can do now is wait, wait for Xue Qinghe to make a mistake himself, otherwise..."
"You should just honestly be a profligate prince, and then after Xue Qinghe inherits the throne, be a useless prince like me. That way, you can at least keep your life."
Snow Star Prince stated calmly.
Why would he help Xue Beng? Wasn't it because he saw his own reflection in Xue Beng?
Why does the current Emperor Xue Ye only have him as a brother? Isn't it because all his other brothers were killed?
And the reason he has been able to live comfortably until now is because he knows his place.
"Damn it!"
Xue Beng clenched his fists unwillingly. Seeing his expression, Snow Star Prince comforted him, "Alright, although Xue Qinghe has a greater chance of inheriting the throne, you aren't completely without a chance."
"Furthermore, even if this Qi Lin is highly talented, he is just an Auxiliary Soul Master and won't have much impact on the overall situation."
"If you really can't stand it, just cause him some trouble. It can also be considered adding a bit of a headache for Xue Qinghe."
"Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, you are just a profligate, aren't you?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Beng's eyes lit up.
"Uncle is right. While Qi Lin hasn't completely sided with Xue Qinghe yet, let me cause him some trouble. It's best to just force him out of Heaven Dou Academy."
As for recruiting Qi Lin?
Xue Beng never considered that. He was afraid that the moment he recruited Qi Lin, he would suddenly die unexpectedly for some reason.
Xue Qinghe could tolerate a profligate prince, but would absolutely not tolerate an ambitious prince.
Just as Xue Beng and Snow Star Prince were discussing.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Council Hall.
Sunlight filtered through the glazed tiles, casting a colorful glow.
On a carved chair on the main seat on the north side of the hall, a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor, dressed in a snow-white robe, sat upright.
This person was the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi.
In front of him, a young man in a close-fitting outfit presented a letter with both hands.
Ning Fengzhi took the letter in his hand, a gentle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
After he opened the letter and read its contents, looking at the information about Ning Rongrong recorded on it, the corners of his mouth curved slightly upward.
"This girl, in just a few months, has actually broken through to level 28. That's truly good!"
"Hmm?"
"Close relationship with Qi Lin?"
"Also, Qi Lin has actually already broken through to level 50?"
"What fast cultivation speed. Wasn't he only level 48 a few months ago?"
The further Ning Fengzhi read the contents of the letter, the more shocked he became. Even the part about his daughter being close to Qi Lin seemed less important to him.
As Ning Rongrong's teacher, Ning Fengzhi naturally knew Qi Lin's identity and talent.
But even so, when he learned that Qi Lin had actually broken through two levels of soul power in just over three months, Ning Fengzhi was inevitably shocked once again.
A 13-year-old level 50 Soul Grandmaster with four rings!
This level of talent was simply monstrous!
At this moment, two more figures flashed in from outside the hall.
One had entirely white hair and beard, yet looked youthful and radiant, exuding a sharp aura.
The other had a large skeletal frame, but his appearance seemed quite gaunt.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you've arrived." Seeing the two, Ning Fengzhi's attitude was very respectful.
The identities of the two were obvious: they were the two guardians of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
Sword Douluo looked at Ning Fengzhi and spoke directly the moment he arrived.
"Fengzhi, I heard there's news about Rongrong. Quick, tell us. Has our precious Rongrong been bullied by anyone outside?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled helplessly, "Uncle Jian, you know Rongrong's temper. I'd be satisfied if she doesn't bully others outside."
Bone Douluo on the side laughed heartily, "What did the message that came back say?"
Ning Fengzhi immediately told the two about Ning Rongrong having arrived in Heaven Dou City.
At the same time, he said, "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, do you still remember the young teacher I mentioned who taught Rongrong?"
The two raised their eyebrows upon hearing this.
"What about him?"
"I remember you said he was an unprecedented genius among Auxiliary Soul Masters, reaching level 48 at the age of 13."
Ning Fengzhi smiled, "According to the message that came back, he is now level 50."
"What!"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's gazes simultaneously sharpened.
Only three months had passed, and that Qi Lin had actually increased his soul power by two levels.
This was simply too terrifying.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, Ning Fengzhi released even more significant news.
"Also, Rongrong seems to be very interested in this young fellow."
"What?"
"Rongrong is actually interested in this young fellow?"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exclaimed, then frowned and said, "Although this young fellow's talent is heaven-defying, he is ultimately just an Auxiliary Soul Master. How can he protect Rongrong in the future?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said, "According to the message that came back, this young fellow doesn't seem to be as simple as an ordinary Auxiliary Soul Master. He possesses considerable combat power."
"An Auxiliary Soul Master, even if he has combat power, how much can it be?"
Looking at the dubious expressions of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi smiled, "Forget it, Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu. It's rare to see Rongrong so interested in a man. It's also good if we go and see."
The two nodded and said, "Alright!"
