Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 253 Blazing Academy's Big Move

Not long after leaving Yuexuan, just as he was about to find a restaurant for dinner, Mu Yang suddenly saw a luxurious carriage approaching from the street ahead, escorted by a group of royal knights.

A short while later, the convoy stopped not far in front of the two men.

Looking at the swan emblem representing royalty hanging on the carriage, Mu Yang understood something.

As expected, a refined young man stepped down from the carriage with a burly woman.

"My dear brother, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly."

Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"Brother Qinghe, Bing'er and I were just thinking about where to have dinner. It looks like we've got our dinner sorted out."

Mu Yang said with a smile.

Qian Renxue's visit was within Mu Yang's expectations.

Before she was afflicted with the "brain drain" effect and became obsessed with love, Qian Renxue was quite shrewd and skillful.

Mu Yang knew that she had long wanted to recruit him and Shui Bing'er into her ranks. Now that the two of them had come to Tian Dou City, Qian Renxue had most likely already received the news, so it would be strange if she didn't come looking for them.

"Haha~, my dear brother and sister-in-law have come to Tiandou City, so I must treat you to a meal. Let's get in the car and chat."

Upon hearing Mu Yang's directness, Qian Renxue couldn't help but chuckle and beckoned the two to get into the carriage.

"Bing'er, let's go rip off a rich guy tonight!"

After saying that, Mu Yang pulled Shui Bing'er into Qian Renxue's carriage.

As the imperial heir's carriage, Qian Renxue's carriage was very spacious. Not to mention four people, even ten people could fit comfortably.

Inside the carriage.

"Brother, I notice that you and your wife are not in good spirits. What's wrong?"

Looking at their slightly pale faces and the murderous aura between their brows, Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask curiously.

The two of them possessed such intense malevolent energy that even the slaughter of tens of thousands of living beings might not be enough to create it. However, she hadn't recently received any reports of evil soul masters causing major incidents on the mainland, or of soul beast forests being massacred.

"Sigh~, don't even mention it. A while ago, Bing'er and I went to a place for training, and we just left there."

"Don't laugh at me, Brother Qinghe, but we almost got into trouble there. The way we're in this mess is all thanks to that place."

Mu Yang shook his head and sighed.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Mu Yang knew that Qian Renxue would find out sooner or later that the two of them had gone to the City of Slaughter for training.

However, becoming the God of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter with ease and becoming the God of Slaughter by sheer luck are two different things. If he could be fooled, Mu Yang thought it would be better to fool Qian Renxue.

Lowering one's perceived strength in Qian Renxue's eyes is definitely more beneficial than harmful; maintaining a superficial brotherhood between them is sufficient.

"Is that so? It's good that my brother and sister-in-law have returned safely."

Raising an eyebrow, Qian Renxue noticed that Mu Yang was deliberately omitting the location of this training ground, so she didn't ask further and simply offered a word of comfort.

"By the way, my dear brother, you and your wife went to Yuexuan, presumably to use Aunt Yuehua's domain power to dispel the evil energy on your bodies, right? Did it work?"

Qian Renxue asked the two of them.

Mu Yang nodded: "The effect is not bad. It should be able to recover completely in a few months."

Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's address to Tang Yuehua, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but gossip, "Brother Qinghe, you call Yuehua Xuanzhu 'Auntie'? Is the rumor that Yuehua Xuanzhu has a special relationship with His Majesty true?"

"Uh~, no, sister-in-law, you mustn't be talking nonsense."

As your older brother, I was also a student at Yuexuan Academy. I studied with Teacher Yuehua for a long time, and later I called her Auntie.

Qian Renxue choked for a moment, then quickly explained.

Although Qian Renxue harbored deep hatred for Tang Hao because he had killed her father, Qian Xunji, she did not harbor any animosity towards Tang Hao's sister, Tang Yuehua.

Perhaps one factor is that Tang Yuehua isn't even a formal Soul Master and poses absolutely no threat to her, but the biggest factor is Tang Yuehua's Noble Ring Domain, which can purify the hearts of others.

Because she was disliked by her birth mother Bibi Dong since childhood, even though Qian Renxue's martial soul is a six-winged angel symbolizing holiness and light, darkness still lurks deep in her heart, and her soul is flawed.

It can be said that the days when Qian Renxue studied etiquette at Yuexuan were the most peaceful period in her heart after she came to the Tiandou Empire.

That's why Qian Renxue calls Tang Yuehua Aunt Yuehua.

"Brother Qinghe, you seem to be in your mid-twenties, right? The Master of Yuehua Pavilion doesn't look too old either. Since you have no special relationship with His Majesty, why do you address him as an elder?"

Shui Bing'er was a little confused.

While a woman's age cannot be judged solely by her appearance, this refers to Soul Masters, specifically high-level Soul Masters.

Tang Yuehua isn't even a formal Soul Master, which eliminates the possibility that her youthful appearance is due to a high Soul Power level. This suggests that her actual age isn't that much older than Xue Qinghe, and even if she is older, it shouldn't be by much.

Since the two are considered to be of the same generation, why does Xue Qinghe still address him as an elder?

"Bing'er, is it possible that the Moonflower Pavilion Master is actually not young? Judging by age alone, she is our elder?"

"I know Tang Yuehua's approximate age," Mu Yang said.

"Is there?"

Shui Bing'er was stunned, clearly not believing that Tang Yuehua, whom she considered just an older sister, was actually no younger than her mother.

"I don't know her exact age, but Yuexuan has been established for more than ten years now. I remember that Aunt Yuehua's appearance back then is not much different from now."

Qian Renxue shook her head and added a sentence.

"So, Master Yuehua Pavilion has some secret to maintaining her youthful appearance?"

With a slight brow twitching, Shui Bing'er secretly pondered whether she should subtly probe the matter in the future.

Girls love beauty, and what woman in the world doesn't wish to stay young forever?

"By the way, my dear brother, I heard from Father that shortly after the Soul Master Competition ended, Blazing Fire Academy applied to the Empire to purchase a large mountain in the Northern Province. Currently, that mountain is under construction and renovation. But what big project is Blazing Fire Academy planning?"

Qian Renxue asked Mu Yang.

Aside from the five kingdoms and duchies, the Heaven Dou Empire directly governs five provinces. The Northern Province is located in the far north of the Heaven Dou Empire, bordering the far north, which is covered by ice and snow all year round.

"It's alright to tell Brother Qinghe about this. Soon, the three academies of Blazing Fire, Heavenly Water, and Divine Wind will be merged and reorganized to form a new Elemental Academy."

To facilitate the creation of large-scale simulated training grounds for the four elements of ice, fire, water, and wind, the location for the New Element Academy was chosen atop a large mountain in the Northern Province.

The news of the merger and reorganization of the three elemental academies could not be kept secret. In fact, not only was it not hidden, but it would also be announced to the entire Soul Master world for recruitment and publicity. Mu Yang did not hide anything and told Qian Renxue directly.
