People in Douluo: Ice Phoenix does not fight or compete

Chapter 21: Invitation from the Empire

Shui Tian was also a little confused when he got the news. Why did he come again when he was fine?

I really don't want to deal with him. It would be fine if he was the real crown prince of the empire, but under that ordinary face lies the heir of an angel.

I had to meet him anyway, so I followed the teacher to the reception room.

Coincidentally, the first teaching building of the college is the reception room, and the conference room is also here.

Shui Tian's leisurely pace made the teacher secretly anxious. Fortunately, the distance was not very far. After sending him in, the teacher hurriedly left here to inform Liu Erlong.

The teacher who can be on duty here must be someone that Liu Erlong and Shui Tian trust. Of course, the nominal dean must be notified when the Crown Prince comes.

Shui Tian walked into the reception room and politely placed his right hand on his left chest and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

It was just a gesture. With his strength as a Soul Douluo, there was no need to be too polite.

Xue Qinghe quickly stood up and said, "Brother Shuitian, please don't bother me. I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here uninvited."

Whether he appears to be younger or actually older, he is younger than Shuitian, so it is not wrong for her to call him "big brother".

"Your Highness is too polite. Please take a seat."

You shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Shui Tian didn't want to contact them but he also didn't want to get into trouble.

After the two of them sat down, Xue Qinghe stated his purpose without hesitation.

"Brother Shuitian, have you ever fought against His Majesty the Poison Douluo?"

Shui Tian's heart tightened when he heard her ask this. She shouldn't know about it, but he knew that this guy should ask the question with the answer, so there was no chance to hide it.

I nodded gently in response. The less you talk, the fewer mistakes you make.

After getting a positive answer, Xue Qinghe said calmly, "It was my father who sent me here to find out after hearing the report from the three teaching committee members of the Imperial Academy. Don't be offended, big brother. It is better to avoid conflicts within the empire. My father is also worried about your safety~"

He was honest and directly explained the reason why he sold out the three education committee members.

Shui Tian understood it after a little thought. She asked this question just to know the outcome of the battle. It is the strategy of many leaders to make further suggestions based on their subsequent answers.

He answered wisely, "It was just a simple exchange of moves. It's nothing serious. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

I don't think Dugu Bo would mention the fact that he was almost killed, so he can say whatever he wants.

This answer was not enough to satisfy Xue Qinghe. After knowing Shui Tian for several years, she had roughly figured out Shui Tian's personality. He really didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family. She happened to think so too.

It would be a good thing to bring such a talented Shui Tian into one's camp.

He clasped his fists and said, "Brother Shuitian is really amazing. He is not inferior to His Majesty the Poison Douluo who has been famous for many years. He is truly a hero."

Shui Tian accepted the praise, thinking it was a way to satisfy her curiosity and tell her in disguise that she did not lose to that old poisonous creature.

Seeing that he neither refuted nor accepted, Xue Qinghe probably had an idea in his mind, and said with a straight face, "Father wants to invite big brother to join the empire. If big brother is willing, he can directly become a royal tribute and be given the same treatment as a Titled Douluo. What do you think?"

This was not the first time Xue Ye invited him, but the conditions he offered this time were the highest.

Shui Tian still shook his head and said, "Please report to His Majesty for me. I am sorry that Shui Tian has failed His Majesty's kindness. Shui Tian has no other request, but just wants to stay in the academy and do some small things within his ability. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, if the empire is in trouble, Shui Tian will definitely not stand idly by."

As expected, Xue Qinghe pretended not to hear his polite words and took out an exquisite box and continued to persuade him, "Brother, don't rush to refuse. This is specially prepared for you by our father. It is the supreme treasure of our royal family."

When she took out the box, Shui Tian felt a unique breath of extreme ice. What was stored inside was undoubtedly a soul bone, and the quality was complete. It was initially judged that the person's cultivation in his lifetime would not be less than 40,000 years.

Seeing the strange look on his face, Xue Qinghe opened the box with some trepidation.

A piece of pure white spine-shaped jade bone appeared before my eyes.

The bones were clearly visible, and the light was lingering. The aura it contained made the temperature of the entire room drop by several degrees.

Soul bones are simply God's creation, and the word beauty is not enough to describe their value.

But unfortunately it is just a torso soul bone, and it is too old to be of any use to me.

However, there is a younger generation in the family who is very suitable for this soul bone, which makes Shui Tian have some other ideas.

He shook his head and refused, "Your Majesty appreciates Shuitian's kindness, but unfortunately I have made up my mind. Your Highness, please don't persuade me anymore."

Although he said that, Xue Qinghe clearly saw the reluctance in his eyes.

Maybe he has already fused a torso soul bone, but he is indeed interested in this soul bone.

Xue Qinghe did not point it out. Shui Tian’s unwillingness to join the Tiandou royal family would be more beneficial to her than harmful to her.

Just as he was about to close the box, three figures walked in from outside.

With just one glance at Xue Qinghe, he determined who the other two were. After quietly sizing up Shuitian's expression, he said politely, "Hello again, Dean Liu. Qinghe, please forgive me for my intrusive visit."

There is no other prince who is so polite. Liu Erlong did not dare to neglect him and quickly saluted and said, "Your Highness, you are too polite. Lanba Academy always welcomes you."

Xue Qinghe smiled calmly, then looked straight at the two people behind Liu Erlong.

Even Shuitian didn’t know what she was thinking. Why did she bring the two of them to see the prince?
The two guys' attention was completely attracted by the soul bones on the table.

Fortunately, Flanders was sober. He pulled Yu Xiaogang and bowed, saying, "Flanders greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yu Xiaogang meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After hearing the two people's self-introductions, Xue Qinghe secretly analyzed Liu Erlong's purpose, but responded very naturally, "So you are the other two members of the golden triangle. I have heard of your names for a long time. Qinghe meets you two for the first time. Please forgive me if I offend you."

She had already integrated the insanely elegant politeness into her bones, and the two of them were delighted after hearing her words, as if they were really worthy of being taken seriously by Xue Qinghe.

However, they were always watching the soul bone from the corner of their eyes, and from the temperature it emitted, they knew that it was prepared for Shui Tian.

I can't help feeling envious and jealous, but I dare not show it in such situations.

Liu Erlong also looked at the soul bone for a few seconds. She remembered Shui Tian said that he had three soul bones, one of which was the torso soul bone. She knew that the royal family's attempt to win him over had failed again.

"Your Highness, Flanders is the Dean of Academic Affairs of our college. He was brought here specially to pay his respects to you. In the future, if Shuitian and I are not in the college, he can handle things on our behalf."

Liu Erlong said this, not daring to look at Shui Tian's expression. This time she was very ignorant and overstepped the mark.

Xue Qinghe took a deep look at Flanders who bowed slightly, then turned his gaze to Shui Tian.

There was a hint of smile hidden in those eyes...
