บท 217: Emperor's Mind
At the VIP table, Xue Ye stroked his beard and said, "Sect Master Ning, I didn't expect that among the contestants this year, there would be a proud disciple of your sect."
His words were casual, without much emotion, as if he was chatting with a friend.
Ning Fengzhi was stunned, and he quickly understood what Xue Ye meant.
"Your Majesty, the substitute member of Team Blue Tyrant is my unworthy daughter."
Xue Ye glanced at Ning Rongrong on the stage, and then at Ning Fengzhi who looked helpless.
Rumor had it that Ning Rongrong was a little witch who caused trouble in the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and made the disciples suffer.
Xue Ye swallowed his saliva and felt somewhat glad that this child did not go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He also understood why Ning Rongrong chose Blue Tyrant Academy instead of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Sect Master Ning, you are too modest. Your daughter is only fourteen years old this year, but she has already reached the Soul Elder level."
"Her future achievements will probably not be inferior to yours!"
He praised Ning Rongrong generously. After all, it didn't cost him anything to compliment others.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect was in a state of turmoil, but nothing happened to Ning Rongrong.
It showed how much Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin and Gu Rong loved Ning Rongrong.
To praise Ning Rongrong in front of Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin was politically correct.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin felt very proud.
Ning Rongrong, the "pearl in their eyes", was their favorite.
"Rong Rong, this girl still needs to be tempered. With her current temperament, it is hard for her to become a great person."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, without any disappointment on his face.
"By the way, Sect Master Ning, you are Qinghe's teacher. What do you think of Qinghe?"
Xue Ye asked calmly.
The prince was not young anymore. So far, he did not have a wife or a concubine.
Not even the slightest rumor of pursuing girls had emerged, as if he was keeping himself pure.
It was a good thing for a gentleman to be chaste, but after all, he was the crown prince of Heaven Dou and needed to inherit the throne of the emperor.
By then, if he had not married a wife and had children, it would be unreasonable.
To stabilize the ministers, he might not need many descendants, but he had to have some.
If the emperor had no heirs, what would the ministers do after the emperor passed away?
They needed a stable empire!
Even an incompetent emperor, as long as he had heirs, could keep his officials loyal and obedient.
After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was shocked, and so was Chen Xin beside him.
What about Xueqinghe?
Xue Ye's intention was clear.
"Ning Fengzhi, do you want your daughter to marry Xue Qinghe?"
Ning Fengzhi felt that he knew Xue Qinghe's character very well.
As an emperor, Xue Qinghe was not qualified for the job because his personality was too "weak".
This kind of personality was easy to control, but not suitable to be an emperor.
"Marriage is not a big deal, but with this Xue Qinghe, aren't you afraid that our Seven Treasure Glazed Sect will secretly control the empire?"
Ning Fengzhi was lost in thought, with many ideas swirling in his mind.
"I have watched His Highness Crown Prince grow up almost since he was born. He is humble, studious, respectful of teachers..."
"Whether it is personality or character, there are few people in the entire Douluo Continent who can compare with Qinghe."
Ning Fengzhi knew what Xue Ye was implying, but he didn't say it outright.
Meanwhile, "Xue Qinghe" who was sitting not far away was feeling uneasy.
She heard the conversation between Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi clearly.
She never expected that Xue Ye was actually looking for a partner for her!
If she was the real Xue Qinghe, there would be no problem.
But she was not him!
Facing Ning Fengzhi's courteous words, Xue Ye saw through his hesitation.
"Sect Master Ning, Qinghe is your student. Rongrong is Qinghe's junior sister. Why not let them get closer?"
Xue Ye said directly.
He could guess what Ning Fengzhi was thinking.
But he didn't think Xue Qinghe was as simple as he appeared.
He was not so easily controlled by the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.
After all, the death of several other princes had Xue Qinghe's involvement behind it!
Seeing that Xue Ye cut to the chase, Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought.
He looked at the girl on the stage who was using three soul skills to enhance her teammates at the same time.
Then he looked at the figure standing on the edge of the ring.
Finally, he looked at Xue Qinghe.
If Xue Qinghe agreed to this, with the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect behind him, he would surely become the next emperor.
Moreover, as long as Xue Ye died, he was 90% sure that the emperor of Heaven Dou Empire would become the puppet of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.
"Your Majesty, Rongrong is still young. Let the senior brothers and sisters decide this matter by themselves."
"If Qinghe and Rongrong can come together, it would be wonderful."
In the end, Ning Fengzhi shook his head and gave an answer that was neither a yes nor a no.
Xue Ye nodded, he was not disappointed.
This time, no matter whether Ning Fengzhi agreed or not, he would benefit.
If Ning Fengzhi agreed, the bond between the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire would be strengthened.
And if Ning Fengzhi disagreed, it would show that he did not have any rebellious intentions. At the same time, he would also prevent himself from siding with the Heaven Dou Empire.
The conversation between the two was not a secret.
Almost everyone at the VIP table heard it. Everyone had their own thoughts, but they didn't say anything.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect had always supported the Heaven Dou Empire, so a marriage between them was perfectly normal.
What surprised everyone was that Ning Fengzhi actually refused!
Without consent, it was rejection. This was a truth that all adults understood, even if the answer given by Ning Fengzhi was vague.
Time passed and the first round of qualifying ended. The team leader came on stage to draw lots to decide tomorrow's opponent.
"The first game of the second round: Thunder Academy vs. Blue Tyrant Academy!"
"The second game of the second round: Heaven Dou Royal Academy second team vs. Flame Glory Academy."
"The third game..."
"The sixth game of the second round: Divine Wind Academy vs. Skywater Academy!"
"What?"
"Oh my God!"
This was simply incredible!
In the second round of qualifying, two of the Five Elements Academy actually met!
Divine Wind vs Skywater!
"Skywater will win, Shui Bing'er will win!"
"Tomorrow's game will be absolutely exciting, Skywater Academy vs. Divine Wind Academy!"
"Feng Xiaotian, the captain of Divine Wind Team, is the forty-fourth level Battle Soul Ancestor. Skywater team may not be able to match Divine Wind Academy."
Neuvillette was also a little surprised. Divine Wind Academy and Skywater Academy met so soon?
"The eleventh match of the second round, Blue Sunshine Academy vs. Blazing Fire Academy!"
"Uh…"
Not only Divine Wind vs Skywater, but also Blue Sunshine vs. Blazing Fire?
