"Dean Jiang is exceptionally talented; I admire him greatly."
Jiang Yunzhou caught a fleeting look of embarrassment and annoyance on her face, thought for a moment, and said:
"You flatter me. Actually, I have a friend with innate soul power of level 20. She used to be my idol. Unfortunately, she was tied up with trivial matters. She is three years older than me and is only at the Soul Emperor realm. Sigh, I feel sorry for her whenever I think of this."
Jiang Yunzhou's performance was so vivid and lifelike that it didn't seem fake to outsiders.
Xue Qinghe was stunned and lost in thought upon hearing this. Why did this person's experience resemble hers so much? She felt a sense of resonance with him!
If it weren't for the fact that she and Jiang Yunzhou didn't know each other before this...
She almost thought the person was talking about her.
He stared intently at Jiang Yunzhou again, trying to discern whether his words were true or false.
Perhaps Jiang Yunzhou concealed it too well, because Xue Qinghe didn't notice anything amiss.
Jiang Yunzhou was deliberately saying these words to Xue Qinghe, thinking that one day she would realize what was going on.
At that time, will Xue Qinghe frequently take the initiative to come and find me?
Xue Qinghe didn't ask any more questions about his friend, as that wasn't the purpose of his trip.
Moreover, it's all tears when I talk about it.
Chapter 71 We must keep in touch often in the future.
She looked at Jiang Yunzhou and continued to ask the question that had been bothering her: "I have another question. I wonder if Dean Jiang would be so kind as to tell me?"
Jiang Yunzhou suppressed his smile: "Do you wish to inquire about my soul ring?"
"Dean Jiang is exceptionally intelligent; this is indeed the matter," Xue Qinghe nodded.
Jiang Yunzhou laughed heartily: "I'm afraid this matter will disappoint Brother Qinghe. It can't be explained in a few words, so I'll just leave it at that."
This is completely inexplicable; he never even mentioned it to his three apprentices.
Xue Qinghe revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
She herself knew that the question had indeed crossed a line: "It's alright, I was just being presumptuous."
The two continued to chat happily.
Xue Qinghe felt a sense of regret for not having met sooner, as if they were old friends reunited.
Jiang Yunzhou knew that hidden beneath that facade was a stunningly beautiful woman.
Otherwise, he would never have had the desire to chat with a man for so long.
The conversation was very simple, consisting mainly of probing questions.
Jiang Yunzhou's answers were a mix of truth and falsehood, and the other party couldn't detect any flaws in them.
His words always struck a chord with her, causing her to frequently drift off into thought.
She gradually realized that the man in front of her seemed to be flirting with her more.
Thinking back to that hug when we first met, I couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that he really likes men?
This is such a pity!
She was very confident in her disguise, so she never even considered that Jiang Yunzhou might see her as a woman.
Although it seemed like flirting, she felt that he understood her, and even if he was gay, it shouldn't affect their friendship, right?
She felt that Jiang Yunzhou was a good friend, someone she could confide in, so she really wanted to be his friend.
So be it, I'm gay.
After all, she still doesn't have a single close friend.
God knows how much she longed for a friend who could understand her and share her innermost thoughts with her.
The man in front of her was not only handsome, but his conversation was also very pleasing to her. She thought to herself: she was determined to have this man.
It wasn't until dusk that Xue Qinghe got up to say goodbye.
"Dean Jiang, we get along very well. We should definitely keep in touch more often in the future."
Jiang Yunzhou smiled and agreed, "Of course. It's just that I've just offended the Fourth Prince, and I'm afraid I'll be facing endless troubles in the future, so I probably won't have time to visit Brother Qinghe..."
Xue Qinghe thought to himself, "This person is quite direct!"
Isn't saying this clearly a way of asking her to solve these problems for him?
It's alright, this suits her just the way it is. She had wanted to do it anyway, but she also had her own ideas.
After a long talk with Jiang Yunzhou, she felt extremely fond of him.
Once they return and combine the information gathered by their subordinates, they will know exactly what kind of person Jiang Yunzhou is.
"I will help you handle this matter. You can rest assured and continue teaching and imparting knowledge here."
"Wouldn't this cause trouble for Brother Qinghe?" Jiang Yunzhou feigned surprise.
Xue Qinghe secretly scorned Jiang Yunzhou. Why are you putting on airs again? Isn't this exactly what you've been thinking?
She remained calm and said, "It's no trouble at all, just a small matter."
"Alright, it's getting late, and I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
"Brother Qinghe is very busy, so I won't keep you any longer."
The meeting, in which everyone had their own agenda, came to an end.
Jiang Yunzhou watched the departing figure, a slight smile curving his lips.
Inside the Tiandou Imperial Palace, in the Xue Beng Palace.
A guard, sweating profusely, reported tremblingly, "Fourth...Fourth Prince, all...all of the hundred-odd men you sent are dead..."
"What? They're all dead?" Xue Beng slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground, startling the guard who lowered his head even further.
Those were the private soldiers and thugs he and Xuexing secretly raised, who had handled many unknown matters.
He was shocked to learn that he would never return.
He suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth, "So, how is the Supreme Academy doing now?"
"Reporting to the Fourth Prince, the Supreme Academy was completely unharmed. Jiang Yunzhou only made one move, and more than a hundred people were wiped out."
The guard's voice trembled, "Moreover, he... he's a Soul Fighter Girl, and his Soul Ring configuration is extremely strange."
Xue Beng almost fainted from hearing that.
One move and a hundred people are wiped out? Including Soul Emperors and Soul Saints? What kind of monster is this?
He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm: "Explain clearly, what's so strange about the spirit ring?"
"His...his spirit rings are: purple, purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black..."
"What? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Xue Beng couldn't hold back any longer.
"Your subordinate would not dare to deceive you..."
Xue Beng was completely stunned.
He only had his eye on two girls, how did he end up getting involved with such a monster?
Now, forget about subduing them; this is a blood feud.
It seems we've already offended them badly, leaving no room for maneuver.
Wouldn't it be very dangerous for him to go out again in the future?
If we keep him in the palace all day, what's the difference between that and imprisoning him?
Being targeted by such a powerful Soul Fighting Girl, he probably needs to bring a Title Fighting Girl as a bodyguard to feel safe going out.
But where can he find a titled Douluo to be his bodyguard?
He paced back and forth in the dormitory, his face showing anxiety.
"There's still a way! Poison Fighter Girl! Yes, Poison Fighter Girl can definitely deal with him!"
He can only place all his hopes on Poisonous Douluo now, praying day and night that Jiang Yunzhou will die soon.
Just as he was feeling uneasy, another guard rushed in to report: "Fourth Prince! His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Xue sat up abruptly: "Royal brother? What does he want with me?"
Before he could even sort out his thoughts, Xue Qinghe walked in with a frosty expression.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what brings you here so late at night?" Xue Beng quickly stood up, her voice weak.
Xue Qinghe snorted coldly, his tone stern: "Royal brother, have I been too lenient with you all this time, making you forget the meaning of law and discipline?"
"You know Ning Rongrong's identity perfectly well, yet you still dare to harass her friend in the street? Where do you place me, your elder brother, and the dignity of the royal family?"
"They only slapped you a few times because of your princely status! If it were anyone else, you would have been dead countless times over!"
"You should have received the message from Supreme Academy, right?"
Xue Qinghe's gaze was like a knife. "I advise you to stop immediately and come to apologize in person. Otherwise, I can't protect you either."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
As he reached the door, he casually tossed out another sentence:
"You, take care of yourself."
Xue Beng didn't dare to utter a single word in front of Xue Qinghe until the other party walked away, at which point she suddenly revealed a ferocious expression.
Ask him to apologize? Don't even think about it.
He had long suspected that the deaths of his brothers were related to Xue Qinghe, and he had been both afraid and resentful of him, which was why he had no choice but to feign madness and hide his true abilities to protect himself.
Over the years, playing the role of a spoiled brat has become a habit, and he has done his fair share of things like forcibly taking women and oppressing ordinary people.
If it weren't for his title as a prince, he would probably have been beaten to death countless times over...
Chapter 72 Dad, are you here today to help me propose marriage?
After returning to his bedchamber, Xue Qinghe entered a sealed space and returned to his original appearance.
