People in Douluo: Ice Phoenix does not fight or compete

Chapter 83: Useless Threats
After confirming that Liu Erlong did not catch up, Shui Tian still felt a little uneasy.

No matter what Qian Renxue thought, he was unwilling to let Liu Erlong get involved, and the teachers of Lan Ba ​​Academy could not be involved in the disputes of the empire.

No matter who wins or loses between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, it has nothing to do with him. No matter how the continent changes, he just wants to protect his family and friends.

As the supervisor, Pisar was very talkative, and along the way I was carefully probing his views and attitudes towards the situation on the mainland.

Shui Tian also laughed it off and didn't do anything abnormal. He was just a small Soul Douluo and couldn't care about those complicated things.

It can be concluded that this Pisar is Qian Renxue's man, and the housekeeper of his own mansion must also be one of his own.

Soon he followed the hypocritical butler to the Prince's Mansion.

From a distance, I saw Xue Qinghe greeting me at the door. He was dressed simply and elegantly, with a jade belt around his waist.

The only drawback is that this face, which belongs to the real Xue Qinghe, is not handsome but rather ordinary.

"Brother Shuitian is here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in, brother and this sister~" She was very humble, and this kind of courtesy was for the people arranged by her father to see.

He took good care of Shui Tian. Regardless of Zhu Zhuqing's identity, he called her "sister" first, giving Shui Tian enough face.

Shui Tianke politely bowed and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This is my student Zhu Zhuqing. Zhuqing, I have never met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

You still have to be polite, because everything you do on stage is for others to see.

Zhu Zhuqing bowed politely and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

She was very sensible and as a student of Shui Tian she just bowed, otherwise she would lose face for her teacher.

When Shui Tian said her name, Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes and her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this guy is going to support the Xing Luo Empire?
He left Blue Tyrant Academy without taking anyone with him, except for the fiancée of the prince of the Xing Luo Empire.
Is there some conspiracy behind this or is it really the teacher's effort to cultivate his students?
Qian Renxue quickly put away her unnecessary expression, and showed her professional smile again, saying, "Zhu Qing, can I call you that? You are indeed a young genius. Come, let's go in and talk."

Shui Tian then brought Zhu Zhuqing into the Prince's Mansion.

The furnishings inside were not as simple as what Xue Qinghe wore. After all, she was the crown prince of the empire. Even if she wanted to decorate it simply, Xue Ye would not agree.

When it comes to the reputation of the empire, the Tiandou Empire has always been more willing to spend money on big occasions than the Xingluo Empire.

Who made them backed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the richest sect on the continent?

The butler went about doing what he was supposed to do, and Qian Renxue led them all the way to her reception room.

After asking them to sit down, a few more polite words were inevitably exchanged.

He asked casually, "I wonder how your academy is doing now? If you need my help, just let me know. Don't be polite to Qinghe."

Hearing this, Shui Tian realized that she was testing him, and replied in a serious tone, "To be honest, the affairs of Blue Tyrant Academy have nothing to do with me anymore."

"Brother, please don't say anything. As the vice president, how can you say such things so easily? I'm still waiting to attend your wedding with Mrs. Erlong!" She pretended to be indifferent and spoke as if she was just chatting casually.

"Your Highness, I'm not kidding!" Shui Tian's face darkened, he put down the teacup in his hand and looked extremely unhappy.

Xue Qinghe thought he was pretending, and tried again: "But what happened? Don't be impulsive, brother. After all, you have worked in the academy for ten years. I believe that Dean Liu will not let you leave."

He never said he was leaving, but he never said it.

It was almost clear that Xue Qinghe knew about your Shuitian's presence in the academy, so it would be better if he didn't hide it from me.

"Your Highness, I don't want to talk about this matter anymore. I wonder what important matter is that you sent someone to see me about?" He simply changed the subject. There was no point in continuing the conversation, so he left the rest to her to investigate on her own.

Maybe he really didn't want to mention this kind of thing. Could it be that Liu Erlong had hurt him deeply? Qian Renxue was a little confused about his specific thoughts.

Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Okay, big brother, please forgive me. I am also worried about you."

After he finished speaking, his smile instantly faded, and he tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Where are you planning to take Sister Zhuqing? If you haven't made any plans yet, I have admired you for a long time. If you are willing to become a guest official of my Prince's Mansion, just let me know if you have any requests!"

She decided to be the first to reveal her cards and strike first. She simply took the initiative to confirm his departure from Blue Bully Academy.

But in this case, she shouldn't send anyone to stop him. Shui Tian guessed that she must have a backup plan.

He sighed and said, "I am tired of the days outside. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I would like to take Zhuqing home to rest for a few years, improve myself, and give her a good training environment."

"Brother, are you going back to the Northern Territory? If I remember correctly, you were born in the Shui family in Beilin City!" Xue Qinghe pretended to be surprised, even though he had already checked his background clearly.

The Northern Territory is very large. All human living areas near the Far North are collectively called the Northern Territory. Beilin City is the closest to the Far North and the largest town in the Northern Territory. Its total area is about one-third of Tiandou City.

Since this city is the last transit station for soul masters heading to the Far North, the population ratio of Beilin City is not inferior to that of Tiandou City.

The urban areas in the Northern Territory are generally smaller than those in the central region of the continent. Due to the cold climate and natural geographical environment, it is impossible to build large cities.

Shui Tian nodded: "That's right, my brother is also the head of the Shui family of this generation, and many of our children are working for the empire in the Northern Territory."

The so-called service is nothing more than relying on the identity of soul masters to collect the empire's empty salary. Many soul master families do this. Only a fool would refuse the free money. When they are really needed, the family will make arrangements.

"Is that so? That's such a pity. With your strength, why should you limit yourself to a small Beilin City?" Qian Renxue shook her head and then changed her tone and said:

"Brother, you might as well consider it. I can also provide the best training environment for you and Zhuqing. If you are willing to stay and help me, I guarantee that the next mayor of Beilin City will be a member of the Shui family!"

This condition is high enough. The city lord of the empire is appointed directly by the emperor, and there has never been a city lord who was from a soul master family.

This is extremely detrimental to the rule of the empire, as it is equivalent to granting a city to a soul master family, just like a separate kingdom.

It is true that the Shui family dominates Beilin City. There are a total of six major soul master families and an advanced soul master academy in the Northern Territory. Among them, the Xue family and the Shui family are both in Beilin City, and the Xue family has always been headed by the Shui family.

The Yu family, the Shen family, the Gu family, and the Qiu family also have good relations with them.

The Northern Territory has always been united. If the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family causes trouble for Shui Tian, ​​the six major families may join forces to support Shui Tian.

The academy will not participate. The Tianshui Academy opened by the Ye family is one of the only two high-level soul master family academies in the Northern Territory.

To enter and study there, not only must one be a girl, but one must also be pretty and have a water-attributed martial spirit. This is an academy that is protected by the entire Northern Territory.

But if the Shui family expands to the point where they can dominate an entire town, then everything will change. By then, I'm afraid even the Xue family will have other ideas.

Shui Tian looked at her deeply, smiled and stood up to refuse, saying: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I am reluctant to leave. Besides, my Shui family are all ordinary soul masters. We are not talented enough to manage an imperial town. I really cannot accept your kindness. I hope you can understand."

Zhu Zhuqing stood up with him, and the two of them looked like they were about to leave.

This answer was not enough to satisfy her. Qian Renxue guessed that he didn't want the Shui family to be in the spotlight.

So he took out a memorial with a calm face, walked over and handed it to Shui Tian, ​​asking him to check it.

There was no royal emblem on this memorial, but instead there was a big word "Bei" engraved on it.

It was the report from the Lord of Beilin City. Logically, Shui Tian had no right to read it, but there were only three of them here, and he also wanted to know what was written in it.

As he unfolded the report, Shui Tian's face became increasingly ugly. Xue Qinghe put his hands behind his back and said impatiently, "Brother, your Shui family is going too far. Although the Ice Marrow Vein was discovered by the Shui family, it is in the territory of the empire after all. How can you ignore the emperor's order and occupy it? Father is very dissatisfied with this~"

After she finished speaking, she paused and her face turned serious. "A month ago, the people of your Shui family were so bold as to injure the royal caravan! Brother Shuitian, what do you want me to do?"

There are reasons for both things. She represents the imperial family and does not need to give reasons, just the facts are enough.

Shui Tian read the above content completely, put it on the table aside, and his expression returned to normal.

"If the Empire needs the Ice Marrow Mine, you can mine it together with my Shui Family! This mine is located in the outer circle of the Far North. I don't think the Empire's masters in Beilin City are capable of gaining a foothold there!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's eyes changed slightly. This was indeed a problem. From the map, it looked very close to the living area of ​​ten thousand year old soul beasts. If one entered rashly, there was a high possibility of being attacked.

"In this case, I will report my elder brother's attitude to father. I wonder how he will explain the fact that your people injured my royal caravan?" She was unwilling to let Shui Tian go.

Now that she can find reasons to threaten him, there is no need for her to continue to get entangled with this woman.

Shui Tian glanced at his students and said, "Your Highness, do whatever you want. If a disciple of my clan does something wrong, he will be punished by imperial law!"

To punish, you also need to be able to find the right person.

The Northern Territory is not big but definitely not small either, and the six major families can hide anywhere.

Xue Qinghe was speechless for a moment. It was precisely because he couldn't handle the situation that he used this excuse to make things difficult for him.

Unfortunately they all failed.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first. Your Highness may send someone to discuss the Shui family's affairs with my brother. I am just an ordinary member of the Shui family." Shui Tian bowed slightly to give her, the fake prince, some face.

Xue Qinghe quickly forced a smile and said, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Let's not talk about state affairs or family matters. Today I have specially invited the best zither player in Tiandou City. Why don't you enjoy it with me? I guarantee you will be so impressed."

"No need for that. The Northern Territory is far away and I still have to travel." Shui Tian refused directly.

"Goodbye, Your Highness."

Without giving Xue Qinghe a chance to refuse, he called Zhu Zhuqing and walked out.

This was very disrespectful to Xue Qinghe. Who asked her to find such useless reasons to embarrass him?
Do you really think Shui Tian is easy to bully?

"Brother Shuitian, Brother Shuitian, wait a minute~" Qian Renxue cursed him inwardly for being stubborn and somewhat regretful that she had moved too hastily. She should not rush into recruiting him.

"Your Highness, please stay~"

Shui Tian turned around with a cold face, as if he was very angry and didn't want to say another word to you.

Seeing this, Xue Qinghe paused and suddenly nodded in the direction behind him.

Shui Tian felt something and turned around, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It turns out that the zither player she was talking about was her. That was true. Xue Qinghe really valued him enough to invite her here.

The two looked at each other, Shui Tian bowed slightly: "Master Tang Xuan~"

The woman looked to be around 27 or 28 years old, with a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. The silver palace dress fit her so well, and her temperament surpassed any woman he had ever seen.

With an elegant gait and a smile on his face, he bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Shui~"

The two had met at a palace dinner before. They had exchanged a few simple words but didn't have much contact. They were just nodding acquaintances.

"Brother Shuitian, would you like to listen to Madam Yuehua play a piece with us? Qinghe took great pains to invite Madam Yuehua here." Xue Qinghe walked over and made an invitation.

Tang Yuehua looked at Shui Tian and the girl beside him, and was somewhat surprised that he would appear in the Prince's Mansion.

The last time they met, Liu Erlong took his arm and looked at her as if she was guarding against a thief. It was funny to think about it.

Shui Tian frowned and said, "Let's talk about it next time when we have a chance~"

He still refused, and nodded apologetically to Tang Yuehua, not wanting to have anything to do with this woman.

Tang Yuehua also nodded slightly. The two of them were like two parallel lines that did not intersect, and they were people from two different worlds.

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Xue Qinghe reluctantly said, "I wonder when big brother will come back? I'm here to welcome you back~"

Shui Tian did not answer, but led Zhu Zhuqing away slowly.

Xue Qinghe's face finally showed some anger at being so rude and ignoring the prince's dignity.

Do you really think she has to recruit this guy?

After Shui Tian and Zhu Zhuqing walked away, Xue Qinghe slowly calmed down and said, "I'm sorry, Madam, you made this trip in vain."

Tang Yuehua smiled and said, "Your Highness is too polite."

Seeing that the woman's appearance was better than Liu Erlong's, Xue Qinghe asked hesitantly, "What does Madam Yuehua think of Lord Shuitian?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know Mr. Shui. Yuexuan welcomes any friend who wants to learn music and etiquette. If Mr. Shui wants to come to Yuexuan, he is also welcome." Tang Yuehua answered cleverly from another angle.

Having been in the upper echelons of the empire for many years, how could she not guess what he was thinking? It was completely a random match.

Xue Qinghe didn't say anything when he heard this, he just thought about it. He was afraid that it would be difficult for him to come back after he left. He hoped that he would not become an enemy of the Spirit Hall in the future!
No one stopped us as we walked out of the Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue's attitude today is very dangerous. If she wants to force him to surrender, it would be equivalent to the surrender of the entire Shui family!
After returning, I must discuss with my eldest brother how to gather the family's strength to avoid contact and conflict with people from the empire.

As for Tang Yuehua, she is completely useless. He doesn't need to go to the Slaughter City, and he doesn't need her to help him purify his soul.
Wait, Shui Tian suddenly stopped, causing Zhu Zhuqing to almost bump into his back again.

Do I really not need Tang Yuehua's help?

Maybe she helped me get out of this faster.
Isn't her special ability to calm people's minds just right for me now?

Forget it, it’s better not to have any contact with the people from the Haotian Sect.

I decided to give up this plan. I think I can always solve the problem by going home and calming down.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her teacher. She had just noticed something was wrong. The prince seemed to respect her teacher very much, but in fact he was trying to control him.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.
