Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 215 Prince Xueyu: Vina, don't forget, you have a fiancé.

As they were chatting and laughing, a guest arrived. Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered for a moment, then he put on a polite smile, stood up, and said:
"I have long heard of the reputation of the Princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire. If Your Highness has any questions, please feel free to speak."

"You're too kind, Your Highness. Just call me Vina."

Vina's eyes flickered, and she turned her face slightly towards Xu Sanshi, getting straight to the point:

“Vina has heard that the Xuanming Sect’s experts moved to Hanhai City after the Battle of Xingluo. Young Sect Master Xu was seriously injured and should recuperate in the sect.”

"I never imagined that Marquis Yue had such extensive connections, that even Young Master Xu had become a guest of Marquis Yue. Vina has come here to ask him for some advice."

So that's why they came.

Xu Tianxi understood immediately and shook his head with a smile. "It's not that I have strong connections. It's that Brother Xu is thinking of his beloved and came all the way from afar to rescue her. I helped him with some small favors, and that's how we became acquainted."

"Since Your Highness has come here for him, please make yourself at home."

Having said that, Xu Tianxi didn't press the matter further and instead addressed Xu Sanshi directly in a generous manner.

"Brother Xu, the princess of your Heavenly Soul Empire has come to visit you. Aren't you going to say hello to her?"

Xu Sanshi, who was drinking and playing drinking games with Xiao Hongchen, was taken aback when he heard this. I don't know the princess of the Tianhun Empire. I can recognize a relative of the Douling Empire. Why is the Tianhun Empire coming to see me?
However, his clear mind reminded him to be mindful of the occasion. Xu Sanshi patted his sleeves, stood up, looked at Vina, and greeted her with a puzzled expression.

"Your Highness, may I ask what brings you here?"

Vina's eyes flickered, and while secretly thinking that Kong Tianxi was a straightforward person, she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying:

"We have long heard that your family members are all outstanding, and my father and Vina have long wanted to pay you a visit, but we have not had the time. By the time we finally had the time, your family had already gone to Hanhai City."

"Unexpectedly, I met Young Master Xu here today, so of course I have to come and pay my respects."

Vina spoke these words sincerely, without a trace of falsehood.

As early as when the news of the Xuanming Sect's defeat of Shrek Academy reached Tiandou City, Vina's father, the quick-witted Emperor Tianhun, had already considered winning her over.

With the Body Sect as its guardian sect, the Heavenly Soul Empire's overall strength may have already surpassed that of the Star Luo Empire; if it were to receive further assistance from the Xuanming Sect, who on the entire continent could stand against it? Unifying the continent would not be a dream.

No one stipulates that there can only be one national protection sect, and the royal family has more than just Vina as a princess who can go out for marriage alliances. As long as they can bring in a Limit Douluo, he will be eager to recognize him as a godfather.

Having already acknowledged a level 98 Poison Undying, what difficulty would it be to acknowledge Xu Xiaoyun as well?

Besides, what's wrong with recognizing a Limit Douluo as your godfather? Countless people would love to do so but don't even have the chance.

Therefore, he sent Prince Xueyu to secretly visit them, but unfortunately, both Xuanming Sect and Haotian Sect expressed that they were reclusive sects and did not want to get involved.

Emperor Tianhun sought advice from the Body Sect. The Body Sect's higher-ups, who had learned of the old feud between Shrek Academy and the Xuanming Sect from Du Busi, told Emperor Tianhun about the Xuanming Sect's attitude. Only then did Emperor Tianhun abandon his idea of ​​winning over the Xuanming Sect amidst his grumbling.

That damn Shrek Academy is doing nothing right. They took away the most outstanding genius of the Heavenly Soul Empire, leaving the Heavenly Soul Empire with the most abundant Soul Master resources but unable to suppress Douling and Xingluo in terms of overall strength. Now they've offended the most powerful hidden sects in the Heavenly Soul Empire one by one, causing disunity among the people!

My soul master genius, you take 70%, give me 30%, and you expect me to thank you for your great kindness? This is outrageous!
More than two-thirds of my titled Douluo obey your Shrek Academy summons orders instead of my decrees. This is an insult to the nation and a betrayal of its sovereignty!

If it weren't for the fact that the Body Sect's teaching methods were really unsuitable for opening a Soul Master Academy, the Heavenly Soul Emperor would have even considered having the Body Sect establish an academy to replace Shrek Academy.

To their surprise, the Xuanming Sect claimed it didn't want to get involved in affairs, but it was unambiguous on matters of principle.

In the battle of Star Luo City, the evil soul masters were so rampant that they were almost invincible. The Xuanming Sect sent out all its experts to fight to the death against the evil soul masters, killing a large number of Soul Douluos, Title Douluos, and even Super Douluos.

Xuanming's Supreme Martial Soul is Xuanwu, which is tougher than anyone else in critical moments. He first fought against Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, and then confronted Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui together with the Star Luo Offering Hall Master, even at the cost of his life.

Look at this sense of responsibility, then look at the reclusive Grand Master of the Clear Sky Sect, Mu En who spends most of his time lying dead at Shrek Academy, Long Xiaoyao who became a lackey of evil soul masters, and Ye Xishui who is simply the King of Evil Soul Masters...

Of the five Limit Douluo in the world, only this one from the Xuanming Sect is a righteous person. He left without a trace after accomplishing his task, keeping his merits and fame hidden.

When the news reached Tiandou City, Emperor Tianhun wanted to go to Xuanming City in person. However, the Xuanming Sect experts had just returned and quickly packed their things and moved to Hanhai City.

The reason for moving was irrefutable: only in Hanhai City, a city adjacent to the sea, could they fight against the evil spirit masters and allow Xuanming Taishang and the others to heal in peace.

The unexpected news did not deter the Heavenly Soul Royal Family from their determination to pay a visit. Vina had originally planned to hunt for a Soul Ring after this trouble was over and visit the senior experts in Hanhai City on the way.

Now, she has discovered Xu Sanshi ahead of time in the Sun Moon Empire, which has greatly surprised her.

Although Xu Sanshi was shameless, he wasn't stupid. He quickly gleaned some information from Vina's question and expression, and immediately flashed a professional smile, waving his hand and saying:
"Your Highness, please don't be so polite, and don't address me as Young Sect Master. I have many brothers and sisters in my family; I am just a candidate."

“My family is all in Hanhai City. I’m not very capable and can’t do anything. I came here because of Brother Kong’s help in rescuing my sweetheart.”

Vina's expression shifted slightly. "Then I'll call you Brother Xu. May I ask, Brother Xu, is your sweetheart... Jiang Nannan from Shrek Academy's outer courtyard?"

Xu Sanshi smiled wryly, "Exactly. I know her family isn't well-off, and she doesn't trust Shrek Academy, so I had to come." Xiao Hongchen also stood up and chimed in, "Yes, Brother Sanshi came for this very reason. His injuries haven't fully healed yet."

"I see. Brother Xu's devotion is truly touching."

Vina suddenly realized, her expression changed drastically, and a warm current of emotion flowed through her eyes. Such a devoted man was truly a rare find.

Even the aloof and elegant Mu Xue nodded repeatedly, her gaze towards Xu Sanshi now filled with more approval.

The story of someone traveling thousands of miles to a foreign country for their beloved is the most touching.

Especially since Xu Sanshi is the son of the Xuanming family head, his talent, appearance, and resources are all top-notch, which makes it even more touching.

At this moment, Xu Tianxi chimed in with a smile, "Brother Xu is so devoted, I am also very moved, so I will take you to meet your sister-in-law."

"To have a plausible reason, I asked Brother Xu to condescend to register in our college's Department of Real-Controlled Soul Guidance. Let's give each other face."

“We have enjoyed our friendship for a long time, and I can say with confidence that Lao Xiao and I have not mistreated our friends, and Brother Xu is completely free to come and go as he pleases.”

Xiao Hongchen and Xu Sanshi, with their arms around each other's shoulders, nodded repeatedly, looking like close brothers.

Seeing this, Vina and Muxue exchanged a glance, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled sweetly at Xu Tianxi:
"I see. I've long heard that Marquis Yue is an upright man, and his character, appearance, and talent are all first-rate in this world. Meeting him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

She knew that Xu Tianxi's deeds were mostly exaggerated within the Sun Moon Empire, but judging from his actions in Star Luo City, he absolutely deserved to be called a virtuous and upright gentleman, a saint in the world.

Xu Sanshi would never give false testimony for the other party; that sincere smile couldn't be faked.

"Your Highness is too kind. I have always enjoyed making friends, especially a Soul Master genius like Brother Xu."

Xu Tianxi replied, then smiled and said, "Does Your Highness have any further questions? If it doesn't involve confidential information, I'm willing to tell you, just to make friends; if not, then please feel free to ask."

Then, he added jokingly, "I can't talk about the negotiations, nor can I participate in them; that's something only the dean and the others can decide."

As soon as they finished speaking, Xu Sanshi and Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but lower their eyelashes.

You were involved in developing the negotiation plan; saying you weren't involved is just being too modest...

Vina, of course, was unaware of Xu Tianxi's "humility." After a moment's thought, she didn't leave but instead smiled at him and casually invited Mu Xue to join them for a chat.

"You're too kind, Lord Yue. Vina just asked about local customs and traditions. Hey, Sister Muxue, aren't you also interested in soul tools? Lord Yue is the number one expert among the younger generation, so it's a good opportunity to learn from him..."

Xu Tianxi hadn't expected the two to take his politeness so seriously, but he couldn't very well refuse: "You're too kind, gentlemen. My knowledge is shallow, and I am unworthy of such a great reputation..."

The three chatted for a while, with Vina recounting anecdotes from ancient and modern times, and Muxue discussing the evolution of soul-guided devices.

Xu Tianxi has expertise in both areas and doesn't try to hide it, casually sharing his insights, which makes the two girls' eyes light up.

The dialectics that Xu Tianxi learned in his previous life seemed too advanced for this place. His thinking was as unrestrained as a wild horse, far surpassing that of Vina, and his mastery of the Soul Master was also far superior to hers.

His knowledge of soul tools was taught by many teachers, from Yue Lao, Xuan Ziwen, Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin to Kong Deming. His theoretical level was extremely high, equivalent to at least level eight and a half in the three great empires. His casual remarks made Mu Xue feel a sense of awe and admiration.

Sometimes, what seemed absurd at first glance, completely different from what she had learned, became clear after Xu Tianxi explained it a few more times. Mu Xue realized that even the seventh-level soul guidance masters she usually encountered were far less insightful and to the point than what he had said.

The two women chatted with Xu Tianxi for a while not because they wanted to talk for that long, but because representatives from both the Sun and Moon Sect and the Heavenly Soul Sect had arrived simultaneously.

Sun and Moon were Meng Hongchen with slightly puffed cheeks, while Heavenly Soul was Prince Xueyu with a worried expression.

"Your Highness, and this elder sister, Yuehou is the chief sixth-level master of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. His theoretical knowledge even surpasses that of some seventh-level masters. Do you also need to pay tuition for your classes?"

When Meng Hongchen appeared, she first gave Xiao Hongchen a cold, lingering look, and then stared at Vina and Muxue with a somewhat unfriendly expression.

Aren't these two women incredibly inconsiderate? They've been actively trying to chat with a strange man for so long! And Xiao is so unreliable; she didn't even try to stop him.

Vina glanced at Meng Hongchen, a look of realization immediately appearing on her face. She then extended her hand and smiled:
"Of course we can afford the tuition, Miss Meng, don't be so stingy. Vina gained a lot from her conversation with Yuehou today. If there is an opportunity in the future, she may need to consult him more."

Prince Xueyu left behind a Golden Soul Card, thanked everyone and said goodbye, then pulled the two women away, his movements as swift as lightning.

Seeing the two women being taken away, Meng Hongchen smiled beautifully, her chin slightly raised, looking stunning.

Xiao Hongchen silently pulled Xu Tianxi, whose expression was strange, in front of him to shield him from the knife, and continued drinking tea.

……

On the other side, Prince Xueyu was filled with mixed feelings and couldn't help but send a telepathic message:
“Vina Muxue, I know that the man from the Sun Moon Empire is young and handsome, a rare find in the world; but you two can’t keep chatting forever; Vina, don’t forget, you have a fiancé.”
