A National Treasure

Time sometimes flies by, and three days have passed since Lu Yuan's great victory over the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

At the Star Blue Hotel, Lu Yuan straightened his clothes, still as dashing as ever, and flicked his fingers. "Old Long, Mad Rhino Senior, let's go!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Yes, Young Master Yuan!"

The Crown Prince Estate!

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, had already arrived Crown Prince Estate to greet him. As the Crown Prince of a country, she truly performed all the proper courtesies.

Beside him were three others: Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; the guardian Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect; and a beautifully sculpted little girl.

Lu Yuan slowly arrived with Long Xiaoyao and Mad Rhino Douluo. This Crown Prince Estate was quite famous in the Heaven Dou Imperial City. The road was not difficult to walk. Of course, the main reason was that Lu Yuan had actually been here once before, so he naturally wouldn't be unfamiliar with the road on his second visit.

So it was quite timely.

I wasn't late.

"Young Master Lu, greetings!" Qian Renxue bowed to Lu Yuan.

"Greetings!" Lu Yuan cupped his hands in greeting, secretly winking at Qian Renxue. This Xiao Xue was behaving quite formally.

"Oh, who is this?" Lu Yuan asked, as if he had suddenly noticed Ning Fengzhi beside Qian Renxue.

"Come, Young Master Lu, let me introduce you. This is Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and also my teacher!" Qian Renxue said.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Lu Yuan nodded and said, "I've long admired it. I've heard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's reputation as the strongest support skill for a long time!"

"Young Master Lu, you're too kind!" Ning Fengzhi a smile.

"Young Master Lu, shall we go inside first and then talk?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Mm!" Lu Yuan nodded.

Upon arriving at the Crown Prince Estate's residence, the host and guests were separated and seated.

This time it wasn't in the Crown Prince Estate's study, but in the main hall, since Ning Fengzhi was there this time.

"Enough with the small talk, let's get down to business!" Qian Renxue clapped her hands, and a maidservant handed a tray to Lu Yuan.

"Oh?" Lu Yuan was taken aback, then slowly lifted the red cover on the tray.

As soon as the veil was removed, a beam of blue light instantly filled the entire main hall.

It is a triangular object, with a crystal-clear blue color throughout. It appears to be carved from a sapphire and is only the size of a palm.

A shimmering blue light emanated from the object, emanating strange energy fluctuations. Rippling patterns, like water waves, rippled across the blue triangular surface. These patterns didn't seem carved, but rather alive; the dazzling blue light that enveloped the entire main hall originated from this object.

"Is this the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?" Lu Yuan murmured softly as he took the tray.

"Young Master Lu, this is the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Do you see any problems?" Qian Renxue asked, her eyes filled with inquiry as she looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan gave Qian Renxue a subtle look, then stored the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud into his Star Ring, and said with a faint smile, "No problem, Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a trustworthy person."

"It's good that there's no problem. This time, it was our royal family that was wrong. Consider this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as our royal family's apology. Please don't hold this against Young Master Lu. Our royal family has absolutely no ill intentions towards you," Qian Renxue said.

"Hmm!" Lu Yuan nodded lightly.

Seeing Lu Yuan's indifferent expression, Qian Renxue inwardly praised Lu Yuan's performance while casting a pleading look at Ning Fengzhi.

Upon seeing this, Ning Fengzhi instantly understood.

"Young Master Lu fought against numerous heroes at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy this time, and his heroic figure is truly admirable. In all my years, I have never seen such a prodigy as Young Master Lu. He is truly a genius of unparalleled talent!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.

"Sect Master Ning, you flatter me!" Faced with Ning Fengzhi's praise, Lu Yuan's expression remained indifferent, without the slightest hint of arrogance or complacency. Moreover, his calm demeanor revealed a touch of aloofness, but he no longer possessed the overbearing arrogance he displayed at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Perhaps this is the true nature of the boy in front of me!

Back at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, perhaps it was just a performance that the young man before him was deliberately putting on.

However, this young man was indeed difficult to deal with. This was the first time Ning Fengzhi had ever been unsure of someone. He seemed impervious to reason and showed no arrogance of a young man. Instead, he had an unusually calm demeanor.

His behavior really doesn't seem like that of a teenager.

Ning Fengzhi looked at Qian Renxue, and for some reason, he didn't know what to say when facing Lu Yuan.

The boy in front of me seemed to be completely immune to conversation. No matter what you said, he would either respond with "um," "oh," or "thank you for the compliment." Even I, the boy, found it difficult to join the conversation.

Ning Fengzhi rolled his eyes and looked at Long Xiaoyao standing behind Lu Yuan. He then said to Qian Renxue, "Qinghe, what are you doing? Senior Dragon Emperor doesn't even have a seat yet. Hurry up and arrange one for him!"

"Yes, Teacher is right, it was Qinghe's oversight!" Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Someone, please give Senior Dragon Emperor a seat!"

As soon as Qian Renxue finished speaking, a maid immediately brought over a chair.

"No need, I'll just stand here!" Long Xiaoyao stood behind Lu Yuan, his hands behind his back. "You two just talk, don't worry about me!"

Long Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent. He could see through Ning Fengzhi's thoughts at a glance. After living for so many years, what didn't he know?

She wanted to make a good impression on him, but that didn't work on Long Xiaoyao.

Lu Yuan chuckled inwardly, thinking that starting with Old Long was a good idea.

Ning Fengzhi didn't know that his aloofness was half-acted, but Long Xiaoyao was genuinely aloof. He truly didn't take Ning Fengzhi seriously. If it were Sword Douluo, he might be somewhat interested.

However, in Long Xiaoyao's eyes, a mere level 79 Soul Sage, even the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was no different from an ordinary person.

This is the mindset of Ultimate Douluo: apart from gods, they are the people standing at the very top of the pyramid in the world.

With Long Xiaoyao's strength, there are really very few people in this world who are worthy of his attention.

Even in the Douluo II world, only a handful of people, such as Dragon God Douluo Mu En, Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, Beast God Di Tian, could be considered his opponents. As for the others, well...

In this world of Douluo I, among human Soul Master, only the three Peerless Douluo can be his opponents.

Long Xiaoyao showed no respect whatsoever. Qian Renxue was alright, but Ning Fengzhi had a slight embarrassment on his face. However, he was no ordinary person, and he recovered almost instantly, his face once again bearing a gentle smile.

However, the Sword Douluo behind Ning Fengzhi had a hint of displeasure on his face, but he seemed to be wary of Long Xiaoyao's strength and kept quiet.
