"Your Highness, why are you wearing a mask to watch the spirit battle?" After some brief pleasantries, Qin Ming noticed the mask on Su Xian's face and could not help asking.
"I was planning to..."
Su Xian blurted it out without hesitation, but froze halfway through.
Fuck!
I'm still wearing a mask!
Pointing at himself, Su Xian stared in horror. "You can recognize me even with a mask on my face?!"
In TV dramas, people can't tell when a man dresses as a woman, but I'm wearing a damn mask and you can still recognize me!
Fuck!
Are supporting characters this smart now? How am I, the transmigrated protagonist, supposed to survive?!
"Uh..."
Qin Ming was briefly taken aback, then pointed at Su Xian's waist with a laugh. "Your Highness's token is still hanging from your belt. It would be hard not to recognize you."
Looking down, Su Xian's face immediately darkened. He had taken out the token while registering earlier, then habitually put it back on his person.
Wearing a mask while hanging his token at his waist—wasn't that like taking off his pants just to fart? Completely unnecessary!
Sob sob sob~
This is definitely not my intelligence. Author-daddy, hurry up and delete this part. It's too embarrassing!
The atmosphere instantly became somewhat silent, and Su Xian discreetly put away his token.
"What did you just say to me?" Su Xian asked blankly.
Qin Ming paused slightly, unsure what Su Xian meant. "Your Highness, why are you wearing a mask..."
"Not that sentence. The one before it!" Su Xian waved his hand, looking extremely serious.
The sentence before that?
Qin Ming frowned as he thought about it. The previous sentence seemed to have been the first one. "I believe I asked why Your Highness had time to come here?"
"Mm!"
Su Xian nodded in satisfaction. That was the one. No mistake.
"Sorry, you've got the wrong person. My name isn't Your Highness, and I'm not Xue Qinghe either. You should look somewhere else," Su Xian said solemnly.
Qin Ming:!!!
Fuck!
Can a fart that's already been let out be taken back?!
I've been talking with you here for half the day, and now you're telling me you're not Xue Qinghe? Are you kidding me?!
What, do you think I'm easy to fool?!
Sob sob sob~
Qin Ming thought: The city is full of too many tricks. I want to go back to the countryside!
The atmosphere instantly became awkward, but it was soon broken by a snort of laughter.
Qian Renxue covered her little mouth, unable to contain her amusement. Her beautiful shoulders trembled slightly as though she were desperately holding back from bursting into laughter.
"Hmm? And this lady is?"
Though he was cursing inwardly, Qin Ming noticed Qian Renxue beside Su Xian as well. Feeling that he had been impolite, he asked apologetically.
Su Xian:...
Emmm... he's already mentioned my wife. Looks like I can't hide it anymore, so I can only come clean!
Sigh~ Fine, fine. I'm Xue Qinghe. Teacher Qin Ming, you win!
"Teacher Qin Ming, it seems you still don't know about the investiture. This is the Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Prince Consort, and also my wife, Xue Er."
As Su Xian introduced her, Xue Er stopped smiling and gave Qin Ming a slight nod in greeting.
Qin Ming's expression changed, and he hurriedly bowed. "So it is the Imperial Prince Consort. I was truly discourteous just now. Please forgive me!"
He had spent the past few days at the academy studying tactics and had not paid much attention to news from Heaven Dou City. He had not expected such a major event to occur.
Su Xian waved dismissively, showing no blame, then asked curiously, "Teacher Qin Ming, how strong is the Royal Fight First Team now?"
The Pan-continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition's champion had basically always belonged to Spirit Hall. In the past, the Royal Academy could still contend with Spirit Hall, perhaps at a three-to-seven or four-to-six disadvantage.
However, Su Xian knew that after his mother-in-law, Bibi Dong, took power, she worked tirelessly and successfully developed Spirit Hall into an enormous force that could not be opposed.
Perhaps, starting with this year's Soul Master Competition, it would completely become Spirit Hall's domain.
Later on, even Feng Xiaotian and Yu Tianheng would pale at the mention of Spirit Hall's team, collapsing before the battle even began.
Before absolute strength, even the greatest genius was powerless, because the other side was even more talented than you.
Qin Ming sighed softly, looking somewhat worried. "The academy is also trying to find ways to improve the team's strength. The first team currently has five Soul Ancestors and two Soul Elders. Their teamwork is not a problem, but their overall combat strength is still lacking."
"Sigh~ If the Martial Soul Fusion Skill were performed by two Soul Ancestors, the academy's chances of victory would rise greatly."
When Martial Soul Fusion Skills were mentioned, Qin Ming felt somewhat helpless. Such skills could only be encountered by chance, and having students capable of one was already a blessing for the academy.
Unfortunately, a Martial Soul Fusion Skill performed by two Soul Elders still lacked too much explosive power.
At the previous Soul Master Competition, Spirit Hall's team had already consisted entirely of Soul Ancestors, with even two at rank forty-seven and rank forty-eight.
Compared to them, the Royal Fight First Team had no real advantage. Even with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, at the Soul Elder level, it could only suppress two Soul Ancestors and might not even defeat them.
That was why Qin Ming had added high-difficulty training for the two of them, intending to use combat to help them reach the Soul Ancestor rank as quickly as possible.
"They're still too weak."
Hearing that, Su Xian could not help shaking his head. By my estimation, Spirit Hall will definitely have Soul Kings in this Soul Master Competition.
Even if the entire Royal Fight Team consists of Soul Ancestors, they'll most likely still lose.
What's more, Spirit Hall's team might even have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. If that happens, they'll probably lose even more thoroughly and truly never recover afterward.
Hiss~
As the First Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, how can I tolerate something like that happening!
No!
We must hire a beautiful Cheerleading Squad to cheer them on. It doesn't matter if they lose the team battle—the Cheerleading Squad absolutely cannot lose.
This is a matter of face!
As for the Soul Master Competition, Su Xian generally maintained a hopeful attitude. Winning would naturally be good, but they should not be discouraged if they lost. After all, it was destined.
Therefore, the Cheerleading Squad concerned the bigger picture. It could encourage them after their defeat and keep them from truly breaking down.
Mm! A Cheerleading Squad really is important, just as "condoms are important" is!
If you do not understand that, search for "Wang Luodan: condoms are important."
Sigh~
For the empire's future, I'm truly racking my brains. For this alone... the old man has to give me an award!
Mm! At the very least, he should reward me with a few hundred million!
Shaking his head, Su Xian felt that he had far too many things to worry about.
Of course, he absolutely did not just want to watch the Cheerleading Squad perform!
He was not that kind of person!
Absolutely not!
