Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 92: I underestimated everyone!

On the other side, in Tiandou City.

Inside a private room of a teahouse, Qianrenxue, who had transformed into Xue Qinghe, was savoring the "Pre-Rain Clouds and Mist".

Pre-Rain Cloud Mist is a type of tea of ​​extremely high quality, produced in very limited quantities, and highly sought after by the nobles of the Tiandou Empire who appreciate fine tea.

Sigh~

Recalling the Emperor's instructions to her on that snowy night yesterday, Qian Renxue shook her head and sighed with a worried expression.

What instructions did the Great Emperor of Snowy Night give?

I'm getting old, and my son is growing up; it's time to talk about his marriage!

Xue Qinghe is now twenty years old.

If this were an ordinary family, a twenty-year-old young man might already have a child who is old enough to attend a junior soul master academy. Even if it's not that fast, he would basically already have a child.

But what about Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the empire? He doesn't even have a girlfriend. Is that reasonable? It's outrageous!

You must know that if an emperor has no son, it can shake the very foundation of the country.

It's fine while the emperor is alive, but what happens when the emperor dies? To whom should the officials in the court and the imperial army pledge allegiance? Even if the emperor appoints a successor before his death, it may not be effective.

Because the new ruler may not necessarily be part of the same interest group as the royal family and nobles. In order to protect their own interests or to gain more benefits, those with strong military forces may support a member of the royal family who shares their interests as the new ruler. That is not something they are incapable of doing.

Although Xue Qinghe, as the crown prince, is not yet the emperor, the importance of having an heir cannot be overstated.

Even for the sake of the stability of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe still needs to find a Crown Princess.

If Xue Qinghe were just Xue Qinghe, then this matter would be simple. There are plenty of eligible women who want to be the Crown Princess of the Empire; the line could stretch from Tiandou City all the way to Wuhun City.

But the problem is that Xue Qinghe is not Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue.

Asking me, Qian Renxue, to marry the Crown Princess is just putting me, Pang Hu, in a difficult position.

This is not just because being a woman makes it difficult for her to marry the Crown Princess.

If you really want to marry the Crown Princess, just marry a woman who is loyal to the Angel Family and will never leak any secrets.

The main reason is that once Xue Qinghe has a Crown Princess, she cannot be without children. Otherwise, if the Crown Prince cannot have a child, her reign as the Crown Prince of the Empire will come to an end.

An emperor who cannot have children cannot be replaced, since the emperor controls the gun, and no one dares to bring it up.

But a crown prince who can't have children can definitely be replaced, since Xue Qinghe isn't the only prince in the empire.

But faking it wouldn't work either, as the Crown Princess's pregnancy is a major event that attracts a lot of attention. Without a second angel skull to provide a cover, it simply wouldn't work.

You can't just hug any one of them, otherwise the scene on the day of the Martial Soul Awakening six years later will be quite spectacular.

Therefore, faced with Emperor Xueye's urging for marriage, Qian Renxue could only postpone it for the time being, hoping to delay it for as long as possible.

As for the future? We'll talk about the future later. Anyway, she's not going to marry the Crown Princess!

"Knock knock knock—"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Putting away her worried expression, Qian Renxue spoke.

"Squeak—"

The next second, the door to the private room was pushed open, and a tall, slender figure dressed in ordinary clothes but with a slightly extraordinary demeanor walked into the room.

Upon entering the private room, the tall, slender figure emitted ripples of soul power, creating a soul power barrier within the room to isolate the inside and outside and ensure that the information would not be leaked.

"Uncle Shelong, what's the outcome for that young man?"

Qian Renxue asked She Long.

Given the large number of experts in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, to avoid exposure, She Long or Ci Xue would not enter the palace unless absolutely necessary.

In addition, as long as Qian Renxue's identity is not exposed, the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace can be considered an absolutely safe place. The two Douluo have always been secretly guarding outside the palace, and their daily meetings are also conducted outside the palace.

"Found it, but..."

Halfway through his sentence, recalling the intelligence he had gathered, She Long paused.

"But what?"

Seeing that She Long was hesitant, Qian Renxue's curiosity grew.

Perhaps the food-type boy she had never met in the Star Dou Great Forest was even more outstanding than she had imagined?

"Young Master, somewhat unexpectedly, the young man's background is not the Shui family of Tianshui City as we expected. He comes from the Blazing Fire Academy and is the nephew of Huo Lie, the dean of the Blazing Fire Academy."

"Blazing Fire Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

Since it's from Blazing Fire Academy, how did it end up with Skywater Academy?

"The boy's name is Mu Yang. His parents died early, and he lived with his aunt since childhood. He was born in the year 2631 of the Douluo Calendar, possesses innate level 10 soul power, and is now over ten years old."

"Wait a minute~, you said he's only ten years old?"

Before She Long could continue, Qian Renxue interrupted him with a look of shock.

You're telling me a fourth-ring food-type Soul Master is only ten years and a half years old?

Are there really such monstrous food-type Soul Masters in the world? Even if they are born with full Soul Power, and even if they have increased their Soul Power significantly through refining Soul Bones, it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?

"Upon receiving the news, my subordinates found it hard to believe, but the information obtained by our intelligence personnel was indeed true."

Although Blazing Academy seems to have blocked any news about Mu Yang, one of the people I sent to investigate was a Spiritual Soul King. He obtained Mu Yang's age from several old servants at Huo Lie's private residence in Blazing City, so there's no possibility of it being fabricated.

She Long said with a serious expression.

To be honest, his intelligence team went through a lot of trouble to find out about Mu Yang.

It wasn't that the intelligence agents sent out were unprofessional; rather, the basic information they provided was fundamentally flawed.

Because Tianshui Academy does not recruit male students, their first stop was the Shui family in Tianshui City.

In order not to alert the enemy, the intelligence agents certainly could not start with Shui Jinghong, the head of the Shui family.

Moreover, Shui Jinghong was a seven-ring Soul Saint, and the people he sent did not have the ability to extract information from a Soul Saint. The two family heads' wives were also no match for him. Otherwise, if they were not handled properly and their secrets were exposed, they would make a great enemy. They could only use hypnotic mental soul skills to start with the servants of the Shui family.

But how could the servants of the Shui family know the specifics of Mu Yang's situation? At most, they only knew that he was the Shui family's prospective son-in-law and the eldest daughter's boyfriend.

Fortunately, the trip wasn't entirely fruitless; they learned that Mu Yang was enrolled at Tianshui Academy.

After infiltrating Tianshui Academy and conducting hypnotic questioning of a few junior Karami, we finally found the right direction.

As the only male student at Tianshui Academy, Mu Yang is extremely well-known within the academy. Almost all the students are curious about him and know that he is an exchange student from Chihuo Academy and is in a relationship with Shui Bing'er, a genius student at the academy.

After traveling thousands of miles to the Blazing Academy, the intelligence work once again reached a stalemate.

Although Huo Lie couldn't guarantee that the information wouldn't leak out, his eldest nephew was exceptionally talented. He had made considerable preparations, spreading a lot of true and false information about Mu Yang, especially regarding his age.

It can be said that, apart from those three high-ranking members of the academy, all the teachers and students of Blazing Fire Academy had no accurate information about Mu Yang.

The intelligence gathered was difficult to verify. An ordinary person would either reply and report back immediately, or stubbornly continue to investigate at Blazing Academy.

However, the people She Long sent out were not ordinary people, but elites from the Spirit Hall. They might not be very strong, but when it came to gathering intelligence, they were professionals.

If accurate information cannot be obtained from within the academy, then naturally, efforts should be made to find it elsewhere.

Coincidentally, Mu Yang's kinship with Dean Huo Lie and Vice Dean Mu Xiyue is an open secret.

After going through a long and winding process, the intelligence agents sent by She Long finally managed to obtain accurate information about Mu Yang from several old servants in the Fire Mansion of Blazing Fire City who had watched Mu Yang grow up.

"A ten-year-old Soul Master with four rings—I underestimated everyone!"

After a long while, Qian Renxue, who had recovered from her shock, couldn't help but sigh.

That's true. The world is vast and full of wonders. It's normal for one or two oddballs to appear occasionally.

For example, who would have thought that she would have an extraordinary innate level 20 soul power?
