Tiandou Empire Palace!
A week had passed since the meeting with Xue Ye...
In the bedroom of the palace, Xue Qinghe slowly opened his eyes, exuding bursts of Soul Power...
Xu Sheng, standing beside him, said softly, "Congratulations, Ren Xue, your Soul Power has improved once again!"
Xue Qinghe's expression was somewhat complicated. "Hmm, but... won't guiding my cultivation delay your own progress?"
The other possessed Innate Soul Power Level Ninety. His talents must be stronger than my own!
To this, Xu Sheng simply smiled without a word...
This display made both Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo grind their teeth with irritation...
Unable to restrain themselves, they scolded, "Hey, boy, the Holy Daughter is speaking to you!"
"That's right, if this were in Worship Hall, you would surely be punished by the Grand Elder!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe furrowed his brows and said, "Porcupine Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, do not be so rude!"
As soon as these words came out, the Porcupine Douluo felt their hearts stop for a moment...
Their Holy Daughter was nearly captivated by this boy, even speaking on his behalf!
However, Xu Sheng shook his head, not taking offense, "It's alright. If Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo can speak such words, it must be because of their unwavering loyalty to you, Ren Xue!"
Xue Qinghe didn't deny it, instead offering a faint smile. "Hmm... I'm well aware of that. After all, they have watched me grow up. They are the people I trust the most, apart from Grandfather!"
Porcupine Douluo felt a surge of emotion, but in the next second, both he and Serpent Spear Douluo disappeared from the spot...
Xue Qinghe immediately understood, thinking silently, "Is someone coming..."
Indeed, after about ten seconds, the voice of the Sky Dou Empire Soldiers could be heard outside the bedroom...
"Your Highness, Crown Prince, today is the day you are to attend the Court Etiquette Academy for your studies!"
Xue Qinghe was startled for a moment but quickly regained his composure. "Hmm, I am aware. Is there anything else?"
The soldier immediately answered, "Yes... there is another matter to inform Your Highness about!"
"His Majesty the Emperor wishes for you to bring along that attendant named Xu Sheng to the Academy."
Xue Qinghe glanced at Xu Sheng beside him, then pursued the matter, "Bring Xu Sheng along? Why?"
Could it be that because of what happened last time, Xue Ye has changed his attitude and wants to win over Xu Sheng?
Yes, it must be so!
The soldier bowed his head cautiously, "His Majesty did not elaborate, please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"I see, you may leave. I will have Xu Sheng accompany me!"
"Yes, Your Highness, Crown Prince. Then, I shall take my leave!"
After these words, the soldier swiftly left the bedroom...
Xue Qinghe then inquired, "Xu Sheng, what do you think? If you don't want to go to the Court Etiquette Academy, I think Xue Ye wouldn't force you!"
After all, there's no need to offend someone over such a trivial matter just to win them over!
Xu Sheng also pondered for a moment before replying, "It's alright, I've been cooped up in the bedroom all day. It might be nice to take a stroll!"
Although he didn't grasp Xue Ye's true intentions, he was quite interested in the "Court Etiquette Academy"...
Xue Qinghe didn't interfere with his decision, echoing, "Hmm, then let's get ready and head to the Court Etiquette Academy now!"
...
Meanwhile, the Court Etiquette Academy was busier than ever, to the point where numerous Sky Dou Empire Soldiers were stationed for guard duty...
Furthermore, teachers from the academy continually instructed the noble scions, "Today, the Crown Prince will be visiting. All of you must watch your behavior. Otherwise, face the consequences!!"
Although these noble scions often acted unruly in front of commoners, in the presence of the real Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, they could only bow their heads in respect!
Tang San, who had just completed his etiquette training for the day, was walking over with Tang Yuehua...
Upon seeing the scene before him, he asked with curiosity, "Aunt... Chief, what's happening here?"
Usually, the Court Etiquette Academy was very quiet and did not present such a spectacular scene!
It must signify that something significant was afoot!
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua seemed to recall something and reminded him, "That's right, I almost forgot to tell you, today is the day the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire comes to learn etiquette!"
Tang San's eyes lit up, "The Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire??"
Tang Yuehua nodded slightly, "Yes! His name is Xue Qinghe, and you could say he is the most outstanding child in the entire Court Etiquette Academy!!"
She paused for a moment before adding, "However, I think that you, Xiaosan, might have the potential to rival him in the future!"
Tang San gave an awkward smile, "You flatter me, Chief. I've only been in the Court Etiquette Academy for a few days. How could I possibly compare to the Crown Prince!"
Tang Yuehua paused then sighed, "Indeed... after all, in terms of appearance, you are far inferior to that Xue Qinghe."
No one knew why, even though Ah Yin and Hao Ge both had good looks, Tang San was as plain as they come!
Tang San did not show any expression because he knew that he indeed did not have any advantage in terms of appearance...
Tang Yuehua shook her head and changed the subject, "Alright, I have other matters to attend to. Remember, stay as far away from the Crown Prince as possible and do not provoke him on your own initiative!"
Tang San respectfully responded, "Yes, Chief, I will remember your words!"
The most outstanding child in the Court Etiquette Academy, huh? I really do want to see what he's like...
But with today's grand preparations, there should be a chance to meet!
While he was thinking, a few noble scions came up towards him, encircling him in the center...
Tang San furrowed his brows but still softly asked, "Gentlemen, what is the meaning of this??"
The noble scions sneered, and one said mockingly, "Boy, if I'm not mistaken, you're not a member of the Tiandou Empire's royal household, are you?"
"A member of the royal household? This kid looks like a pauper through and through. It seems he's from some backwater place. In fact, I still remember how he dressed like a beggar when he first entered the academy!"
"Tsk, the Court Etiquette Academy is supposed to be for nobles like us. I really don't know why they let someone like you in!"
"Isn't it obvious? It must have something to do with the Chief!"
Tang San clenched his fists, but remembering Tang Yuehua's advice, he managed to suppress his anger...
"It has nothing to do with the Chief. If my presence bothers you, then I'll leave right now!"
Having said that, he attempted to leave...
However, one noble scion showed displeasure, suddenly pushed him in the chest, causing him to stagger back several steps...
Immediately after, he sternly shouted, "Leave? We didn't say you could leave!!"
Another noble scion showed a malicious grin, crossing his arms and saying, "Heh heh... But if you kneel down and give us a few bows right now, we might just let you off this time!"
Finding someone who wasn't a noble was a rare opportunity, and naturally, they wanted to bully him properly!
