Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spirit Ball, Come Out, Haki Dance!

Chapter 118 Two Little Old Foxes

"Sure," Prince Xuexing readily agreed.

"But I'm reminding you, time waits for no one. If you don't get a response by the end of the day, there will be no one to help you fill the funding gap at Tianshui Academy."

Then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu walked out quickly with their heads down. Their shoulders under their cloaks trembled slightly, clearly indicating that they were in a very heavy mood.

Ye Xuan immediately withdrew his spiritual power and watched them disappear into the night before turning his gaze back to the private room.

At this moment, Prince Xuexing was speaking to the dark figure behind him.

"Keep an eye on them and don't let them pull any tricks. Also, investigate Xuan Ye from Blue Tyrant Academy. I have a feeling that kid is not simple."

A dark figure emerged from the corner of the private room, bowed, and replied, "Yes, Your Highness."

Ye Xuan was slightly surprised, not expecting that Prince Xue Xing would have a Soul Emperor-level bodyguard by his side.

He didn't linger. Taking advantage of the moment the shadowy figure left, he quietly slipped off the roof and headed towards Blue Tyrant Academy.

On the way, the conversation he had just overheard kept replaying in his mind.

Prince Xuexing's ambitions were far greater than he imagined. He not only wanted to control Tianshui Academy, but also wanted to eliminate the "hidden danger" of Lanba Academy.

The situation of Tianshui Academy is even more pitiful. Despite being a powerful Soul Master Academy, it is being strangled by others due to funding issues, and is now in a dilemma.

"Five hundred thousand gold soul coins, canary..."

'

Ye Xuan murmured to himself, "This is such a shrewd plan. I'm a little tempted myself..."

'

That's right.

Ye Xuan was also tempted.

Tianshui Academy has an exceptionally strong foundation, not to mention that each of its regular team members is a stunning beauty.

He is not some arrogant saint.

If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're either a eunuch or a bastard.

In the latter half of the night, the Heavenly Dou Imperial City fell into complete silence, with only a solitary lamp still lit in the study of the Crown Prince's residence. Ye Xuan stood in the shadows outside the Crown Prince's residence, a wisp of pale golden soul power emanating from his fingertips.

As his soul power flowed, the disguise on his face faded away like the tide.

The boy's face, which was originally slightly immature, gradually became angular, with sword-like eyebrows, deep eyes like cold pools, a high nose bridge, and sharp lips. His black clothes made his skin look even whiter, yet he also had a cold aura that kept strangers away.

This is his true appearance.

"Squeak!"

The study window was pushed open by an invisible force, and Ye Xuan slipped in like a ghost, landing silently with only the soft sound of his clothes rustling through the air.

Inside the study, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood, and the windows were all closed. At this moment, she revealed her true appearance.

Qian Renxue was dressed in a moon-white casual outfit, her long hair loosely tied back, revealing her smooth forehead and slender neck.

She was sitting at her desk reviewing memorials. The candlelight illuminated her exquisite profile, casting soft shadows on her long eyelashes. Her usual dignified demeanor had softened, replaced by a serene gentleness.

Hearing the noise, Qian Renxue's hand holding the vermilion brush suddenly paused, golden soul power instantly surrounding her, her eyes sharpening:

;

who?"

But when she looked up and saw the person's face clearly, the wariness in her eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a hint of surprise that was barely perceptible, which then turned into a knowing smile.

"You actually came back, huh?"

Ye Xuan casually closed the window, walked to the desk, and glanced at the mountain of memorials on it. He raised an eyebrow and said, "The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall is still dealing with government affairs late at night. She's busier than me, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

"Those in a position should fulfill their responsibilities." Qian Renxue put down her pen, stood up and poured a cup of tea for the two of them with elegant and composed movements. "You came back in the middle of the night, you didn't come here to tease me, did you? Tell me, what is it that's worth you coming all this way in your busy schedule?"

Qian Renxue emphasized the word "busy," showing that she really wanted to beat Ye Xuan up.

With Ye Xuan absent, she has to play two roles all by herself.

One is Crown Princess Xiaoxue, and the other is Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Ye Xuan took the teacup, feeling the warmth on his fingertips, and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips: "I just stumbled upon Prince Xuexing's good deed."

He didn't beat around the bush and directly recounted how he followed Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu late at night, as well as all the conversations he overheard at Yanyu Pavilion.

Qian Renxue was informed of everything, including how Prince Xuexing had planned to cut off Tianshui Academy's funding and how he had forced them to defeat Lanba Academy by offering 500,000 gold soul coins and "canaries."

As Ye Xuan continued his narration, Qian Renxue's smile gradually faded, and her eyes grew increasingly cold.

When she heard the word "canary," her fingers holding the teacup tightened slightly.

"I'll handle this, but you probably don't have anything to do with those seven little vixens from Tianshui Academy, right?"

"Ahem, don't worry, we haven't had any contact with it yet."

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted slightly.

She walked to the window, gazing at the deep night outside, a flash of golden soul power passing through her eyes.

"Xue Xing thought that cutting off the funding chain of Tianshui Academy would allow him to do whatever he wanted, but he forgot that the finances of the entire Tiandou Empire are still ultimately in my hands. Anyone who dares to make trouble under my nose will pay the price."

"What do you plan to do?" Ye Xuan asked.

"It's very simple. I can also use this incident to win over another group of old fogies who are standing behind Xue Xing. If nothing unexpected happens, I can ascend the throne and become emperor within two years."

She paused, her gaze falling on Ye Xuan with a hint of amusement.

"Where have you been gallivanting off to lately? I haven't seen you for two months."

"Yes, I recently discovered someone who seems to be a successor to a god, and I've been observing him for a while now."

"Another successor to a god?"

"That's right, and he's someone who has a grudge against our Spirit Hall. His mother died at our hands, and his father was imprisoned and crippled."

Are you sure you can do it?

"It's hard to say. The deity standing behind him is very unreasonable. You know Shi Nian, right? He died at the hands of the deity behind him."

"Hmm? You mean the god behind him intervened and killed Shi Nian, this Spiritual Soul Saint?"

"That's right, and if nothing unexpected happens, the ten-thousand-year-old skull on Shi Nian's body has already been absorbed by the other party."

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, I can handle it."

I will tell Grandpa about this.

Two days later.

If nothing unexpected happens, Shui Bing'er and the others have already agreed to Xue Xing's conditions.

The arena for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament was packed to capacity, with deafening cheers.

When the seven members of Blue Tyrant Academy and Skywater Academy stepped onto the stage at the same time, the entire arena instantly erupted in cheers, with countless spectators standing up and shouting, their eyes fixed on these two favorite teams to win the championship.

At the front of the Blue Tyrant Academy team, Xuan Ye remained calm, while Tang San beside him had sharp eyes, Blue Silver Grass flowing quietly between his fingertips. Dai Mubai's soul power surged, and his tiger eyes were full of fighting spirit.
