Chapter 266 Xue Qinghe

Her presence was like a stabilizing force, bringing peace of mind to the members of the Dawn team.

Sure enough, the calm did not last long.

A young nobleman, dressed in fine clothes and with an arrogant expression, seemed to have had a few too many drinks. Encouraged by his companions, he staggered toward the Beast God Pavilion, holding a wine glass.

His gaze, tinged with lewdness and disdain, swept over the strikingly beautiful Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan.

"Ladies...you look unfamiliar. Which academy are you from? How about having a drink with me?" He hiccuped, his tone flippant, and reached out to touch Ning Rongrong's face.

He was clearly some ignorant and powerful scion who, perhaps wanting to show off or genuinely unaware of the Beast God Pavilion's mark, dared to provoke them.

A flash of anger crossed Ning Rongrong's eyes, and the phantom of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda instantly condensed in her palm, but before she could retaliate...

"roll."

A cold, emotionless voice rang out. It wasn't from Qi Xue, nor from Tang Ya, but from Ye Lingling, who had been sitting quietly the whole time. She didn't even glance at the nobleman's son, but simply uttered a single word.

However, the moment the word left his lips, the nobleman seemed to be frozen by an invisible ice. His movements froze instantly, the lewd smile on his face solidified, and his eyes were filled with inexplicable fear. The wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a "crack" and shattered into pieces.

He retreated as if he had seen a ghost, scrambling backward and knocking over several tables and chairs in the process, before fleeing back to his own circle in a disheveled state, drawing gasps and snickers from the crowd.

This sudden turn of events sent a chill down the spines of many in the hall. The people of the Beast God Pavilion were indeed as formidable as the rumors suggested! Even the seemingly most harmless Soul Master was terrifying!
The Golden Generation on the opposite side naturally saw this scene as well. Yan curled his lip in disdain and muttered, "Trash."

It's unclear whether they're referring to that nobleman's son or subtly implying that the Beast God Pavilion is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Hu Liena frowned slightly; this was definitely not the behavior of an ordinary healing-type Soul Master. "This healing-type Soul Master is not simple," she whispered to Xie Yue.

Xie Yue nodded coldly, his gaze sweeping over the seven members of the Beast God Pavilion like a hawk's, as if reassessing the threat level of each of them.

After this little incident, no one dared to easily disturb the Beast God Pavilion again. The atmosphere of the banquet became somewhat strange; it appeared lively on the surface, but undercurrents were even more turbulent.

Emperor Xueye observed all of this but did not intervene. He simply spoke in hushed tones with Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi beside him, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the Beast God Pavilion and the Spirit Hall with a hint of deep calculation.

At this moment, a court dance performance began in the dance floor in the center of the hall. Some young nobles and soul masters also invited their favorite dance partners to join them on the dance.

His Highness Xue Qinghe, also known as Qian Renxue, suddenly stood up, a gentle and refined smile on her face, and slowly walked towards the Beast God Pavilion. This action instantly attracted everyone's attention!
Who doesn't know that this Crown Prince holds a prestigious position and rarely takes the initiative to socialize in such situations? What is his intention in walking towards the Beast God Pavilion, which is clearly at odds with the Spirit Hall?
Ignoring the various gazes around her, Qian Renxue walked straight to Qi Xue and Tang Ya, bowed slightly, and said with an elegant demeanor: "Elder Qi, Captain Tang Ya, and all the young talents of the Beast God Pavilion, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

His voice was gentle and pleasant, and his demeanor was impeccable, making one feel as if bathed in a spring breeze. But deep within Qi Xue's calm eyes, a very faint trace of vigilance flashed.

She could sense that this Crown Prince was not as simple as he appeared; he possessed an extremely powerful and sacred force hidden within him. "Your Highness," Qi Xue and Tang Ya rose to return the greeting, their attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

"Please, everyone, there's no need for formalities." Qian Renxue smiled warmly, her gaze sweeping over the seven members of the Dawn Team, especially lingering on Tang Ya and Xiao Xiao for a moment, her eyes revealing a hint of admiration at just the right moment. "I've long heard that the Beast God Pavilion is full of talented people, and seeing them today, I can see that their reputation is well-deserved."

"Your outstanding demeanor and profound spiritual light are truly a blessing to the soul master community of our Heaven Dou Empire."

His words elevated the Beast God Pavilion to the level of the "Soul Master World of the Heaven Dou Empire," clearly carrying an intention to win them over.

"Your Highness flatters me," Tang Ya replied cautiously. "The Beast God Pavilion is based in Tiandou City, so it is only right that we do our best for the Empire." Her words were watertight, acknowledging the connection with the Tiandou Empire without making any specific promises.

Qian Renxue seemed unconcerned. He turned his gaze to Qi Xue, his smile unchanged: "Elder Qi's aura is as deep as the sea. He must have reached the Super Douluo realm. He is truly admirable."

"I wonder how Pavilion Master Linghan is doing these days? I have long admired you, but I have never had the chance to meet you, which is a great pity."

He began to steer the conversation toward Ling Han, his probing intent becoming even more obvious.

Qi Xue remained calm and said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The Pavilion Master is doing well, but he is focused on cultivation and dislikes worldly affairs, so he has not been able to come in person."

"I see." Qian Renxue nodded, as if it were just a casual question, and then smiled, "Today's banquet is a fine occasion, and the weather is beautiful. I wonder if I would have the honor of inviting Captain Tang Ya to dance with me?"

He actually extended an invitation directly to Tang Ya!
At this moment, the entire hall fell completely silent! All eyes were focused on Tang Ya and Qian Renxue!
His Highness the Crown Prince invited the captain of the Beast God Pavilion team to dance? The political signals and implications behind this are truly intriguing! Is this a blatant gesture of goodwill towards the Beast God Pavilion, a show of force against the Spirit Hall?

Even the Golden Generation on the other side, Hu Liena narrowed her eyes slightly, Xie Yue's eyes grew colder, and Yan clenched his fists.

Tang Ya was clearly taken aback by Qian Renxue's move. She paused slightly and glanced at Qi Xue instinctively. Qi Xue nodded almost imperceptibly.

Tang Ya quickly composed herself, a polite yet distant smile appearing on her face. She curtsied slightly and said, "I am deeply honored by His Highness's kindness."

"However, as the team captain, Tang Ya needs to advance and retreat with her teammates and is devoted to cultivation. She is quite unfamiliar with dance skills and is afraid that she will spoil Your Highness's enjoyment. Please forgive her."

She politely but firmly refused!
A fleeting look of surprise crossed Qian Renxue's eyes, but she quickly regained her gentle demeanor, seemingly unconcerned, and smiled, "It's alright, it was my rudeness."

"In that case, I will not disturb your enjoyment any longer."

He bowed again, then calmly turned around and returned to his seat, his face still bearing that impeccable, gentle smile.
