Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Ci Xue and She Long
Chapter 96: Ci Xue and She Long
The Crown Prince's residence was quite different from what one might imagine—rather than being lavish, it was actually quite simple and modest.
Kong only gave it a brief glance before casting a somewhat puzzled look at Qian Renxue.
He quickly averted his gaze, not allowing Qian Renxue to notice anything unusual.
"Brother Tiankong, welcome to my home!"
"Xue Qinghe" said with a smile.
This greeting was sincere; she genuinely wished to engage with such a talented individual, finding it a delightful opportunity.
"Brother Xue, your kindness is overwhelming; I am humbled," Kong replied, waving his hand with a look of modest surprise.
This "Crown Prince" truly did not treat him like an outsider.
"Haha."
"Xue Qinghe" laughed heartily, then continued, "Brother Tiankong, we've hit it off right from the start, and now that we're calling each other brothers, why not sit down and have a good, heartfelt conversation?"
Kong's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but think to himself: So, you do realize this is our first meeting, huh?
Though he had such thoughts, Kong did not refuse. After sitting down across from Qian Renxue, he said, "Brother Xue, as the Crown Prince of a nation, you are so well-mannered and respectful to those of talent. It truly makes me see you in a new light!"
Hearing Kong's praise, "Xue Qinghe" was secretly pleased. There weren't many people who could make her behave this way.
To be well-mannered and respectful to those of talent.
From Kong's expression, it was clear that he genuinely meant what he said; there was no trace of insincerity or pretense.
This young brother not only had good judgment but also knew how to speak well. How could Qian Renxue not be pleased?
"Listening to your praise, Brother Tiankong, really makes me blush with shame," Qian Renxue said, waving her hand as if she didn't deserve such compliments, displaying great humility.
In the shadows, Ci Xue and She Long exchanged glances. Could it be that the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and their Wuhun Hall's young lord got along this well?
It was only their first meeting, yet it truly seemed like they had hit it off instantly.
"She Long, don't you think the aura of this young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is a bit strange?"
Ci Xue whispered to She Long, his face filled with concern. He couldn't shake the feeling that Kong's aura was far too powerful, not something a Soul Emperor should possess.
"Let me take a closer look..."
She Long looked at Kong with suspicion and examined him carefully. His expression quickly changed.
Ci Xue's observation was indeed correct. The aura of this young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was nothing like what a Soul Emperor should possess.
At this moment, even Qian Renxue was only at the level of a Soul Emperor, and she was several years older than Kong.
Had it not been for the need to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe, leaving her with little time to cultivate, she would have far surpassed the Soul Emperor level by now.
No matter how extraordinary Kong's talent was, his aura shouldn't surpass Qian Renxue's at the Soul Emperor level.
Yet, in the eyes of these two titled Douluo, Kong's aura was vastly stronger than that of the Soul Emperor-level Qian Renxue.
To say that he was at the level of a Soul Sage wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Soul Sage? That shouldn't be possible..."
The information they had indicated that just two or three months ago, Kong was only around level 62. How could he have broken through to the Soul Sage level in such a short time?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
"There's something off about him!" She Long's expression darkened as he whispered to Ci Xue with a serious tone.
If this kid isn't dealt with, he might very well become a major threat to Wuhun Hall!
"I know he's problematic, but how do we handle this issue?"
Ci Xue frowned. His strength was on par with She Long's; whatever She Long could perceive, so could he.
After hearing this, She Long glanced at Kong once more before turning his gaze to "Xue Qinghe." He then whispered, "Let the young lord decide. If such a genius can be recruited, it would be a great asset to Wuhun Hall."
"Agreed."
Ci Xue nodded silently, refraining from saying anything further. He continued to observe Kong closely.
"Brother Xue, I keep feeling that something is off, as if there are two pairs of eyes constantly watching me. It's really strange," Kong suddenly said, frowning as he chatted casually with Qian Renxue.
Of course, Kong knew exactly what was going on—it was likely that two old foxes were secretly observing him.
As for who those two were, he couldn't be entirely sure just yet. However, judging by their aura, they were likely Titled Douluo, though their strength shouldn't be too overwhelming...
The moment Kong said this, Qian Renxue was taken aback. In the shadows, Ci Xue and She Long were even more shocked, breaking out into cold sweats and feeling a chill run down their spines!
They had merely observed Kong without any malicious intent, yet he had still managed to sense them!
"Hiss..."
The two of them took a sharp breath. This kid was terrifying!
With their level of strength, even when observing a Titled Douluo in secret, the chances of being detected were minimal as long as the target's spirit power level didn't exceed 95. Yet here they were, getting caught while observing a twelve-year-old boy!
Qian Renxue's mind was in turmoil. Ci Xue and She Long shouldn't have made such a rookie mistake as to intentionally expose their presence.
If it wasn't due to Ci Xue and She Long, then the problem must lie with the boy himself!
No wonder he was deemed a prodigy when his spirit awakened, causing a phenomenon of heaven and earth!
Qian Renxue sighed inwardly but kept her expression unchanged. "Brother Tiankong, there's no one else here aside from a few servants. Perhaps your senses are mistaken?"
Kong rolled his eyes internally. Did he believe Qian Renxue's words? Not one bit!
"Could it be just my imagination?" Kong "muttered" in confusion, lowering his head as if deep in thought.
Upon hearing this, even Qian Renxue almost couldn't keep her composure. Did he actually sense the presence of those two?
This kid's perception was terrifyingly sharp!
Wasn't he a Spirit Master with a weapon-based spirit? Could it be that he possessed a mental attribute head spirit bone? It wasn't out of the question.
After a moment, Kong shook his head and said, "Brother Xue, as the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou Empire, you should arrange for some guards. Safety is of utmost importance."
If the person before him were truly Xue Qinghe, he might have taken this advice to heart. But the person in front of him wasn't the real Xue Qinghe.
She had no need to worry about her safety at all.
"Brother Tiankong, you're right."
Qian Renxue discreetly wiped the sweat from her forehead as she spoke.
She was truly at her wit's end. This young man was far more extraordinary than she had anticipated. It was both a good thing and a bad thing.
Perhaps he had already sensed the presence of Ci Xue and She Long but was unsure or found it inconvenient to mention, so he changed the topic.
"Brother Tiankong, since your surname is Yu, you must be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, right?"
Qian Renxue smoothly shifted the conversation. Naturally, she wouldn't reveal that she already knew about Kong's background, so she posed the question as if she were unaware.
Kong: "..."
