This is a Sickness, It Needs Treatment (Seeking Follow-up Reads, Follow-up Reads Are Very Important)

"Go straight to Xia Wuyou and ask him who he is and where he comes from?"

Chen Xin's bluntness made Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitch.

He was curious, but Xia Wuyou wasn't stupid either.

Did he think asking outright would get him an answer?

Didn't Xia Wuyou have any pride to uphold?

Didn't the Five Thousand Years of Heritage behind him have any face to save?

Chen Xin completely ignored Ning Fengzhi's resentment.

Eyes watching his nose, nose watching his heart.

He continued silently wiping the seven-foot long sword in his hand.

Don't say it, don't say it, really don't say it.

When it came to Xia Wuyou's identity and background.

It wasn't just Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin who were stunned.

"Xue Qinghe" heard it too and his eyelids twitched.

"Five Thousand Years of Heritage?"

"And a Time and Space Attribute Spirit?"

"Heh! Xia Wuyou, I'm more and more curious about who you are and where you come from."

Qian Renxue grew increasingly eager to conquer Xia Wuyou.

With such an identity, such a background.

And such immense talent and potential.

Xia Wuyou was more than worthy of being Qian Renxue's man.

She forcefully suppressed the thought.

Qian Renxue continued to disguise herself as the Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe."

Then she arrived at the entrance of Yanhuang Academy.

"Everyone, I also find Dean Xia's words quite reasonable. According to the laws of the Heaven Dou Empire, Taitan's seizure by force should warrant the extermination of his entire clan."

"Now that Dean Xia is unwilling to go that far and only asks for two things, you Four Single-Attribute Clans should just get it done obediently."

"Otherwise, it won't just be the Strength Clan. Even your Speed Clan won't be able to stay within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire from now on."

"I declare here as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire: if you persist in defiance, not only will the Strength Clan be guilty, but the other three clans will also be branded as rebels by the empire, with no place left to stand!"

If this were normal times, "Xue Qinghe" would never have said such things publicly.

After all, that old codger Xue Ye wasn't dead yet, and he would never let her act so recklessly.

The clan heads of the Four Single-Attribute Clans were all Soul Douluo. With Taitan already dead, three Soul Douluo remained.

Completely offending the remaining three single-attribute clans didn't fit the persona of the Heaven Dou Empire's Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe," nor did it serve the interests of the Heaven Dou royal family.

But now it was different. With a gem like Xia Wuyou in the spotlight, the Four Single-Attribute Clans paled into insignificance.

Even if that old codger Xue Ye found out what she'd done, he'd probably give her a thumbs-up and praise her for a job well done.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Xue Qinghe's" sudden appearance not only snapped countless onlookers back to reality but also piqued Xia Wuyou's interest greatly.

"The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe? Heh! Isn't this just Qian Renxue, that tsundere Golden-Haired Little Angel?"

Using the Angel Head Spirit Bone, Qian Renxue appeared to others as a gentle and refined man.

But to him, who possessed the Eye of Time and Space, the "Xue Qinghe" before him was nothing but a stunning beauty with a mature, commanding presence.

Under the Eye of Time and Space's clear reflection, Qian Renxue's disguise was utterly exposed—a cascade of golden hair, a face of breathtaking cold beauty, and eyes brimming with a maiden's tsundere nature, with not a trace of the Crown Prince's refined elegance left.

Noticing Xia Wuyou's strange gaze.

"Xue Qinghe" felt something was off.

But she still nodded at Xia Wuyou.

"Dean Xia! A pleasure to meet you. I am Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

"The Tiandou Royal Team caused you trouble earlier. I apologize on their behalf."

Though deeply puzzled.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, even Xia Wuyou had to admit that this tsundere Golden-Haired Little Angel had truly maxed out her Palace Intrigue skill.

She could win over the hearts of the Tiandou Royal Team, move the countless spectators with her "candor," and still leave a good impression on him.

"Heh, Your Highness is too kind."

Even though she'd used a few tricks, Xia Wuyou didn't mind.

Qian Renxue was proud, and she had every right to be.

Even knowing it was impossible to win over Dugu Bo and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, even knowing she would one day be at odds with these people and forces, her pride would not allow her to resort to preemptive elimination.

This kind of approach was commonly known as: nerfing your own intelligence!

In the original story, this tsundere little angel let Tang San off time and time again.

When she became a god in the future, she could spare Tang San once. So now, even if she knew his identity and he stood right before her, she would still let him off twice because of his Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls talent.

You could say that if she let you off today, she'd let you off again tomorrow. This tsundere little angel had practically become a professional pardoner...

Qian Renxue: "Hmm???"

"Bastard, slander, this is slander!"

"You bastard are slandering me!"

"I, Qian Renxue, am no pardoner!"

"Dean Xia, as the saying goes, better to end a feud than to start one."

"Since today's matter has been resolved perfectly, why not let me play host and invite everyone to the Seven Treasures Glazed Hotel for a meal, so we can get to know each other?"

Whether it was Qin Ming or the members of the Tiandou Royal Team, their performance just now had left Qian Renxue very satisfied.

Setting aside the fact that they were on opposing sides for now.

Whether in her identity as His Highness the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire or as Qian Renxue, the Young Master of Martial Soul Hall, both roles made her enjoy having others submit to her even more.

Of course, in Xia Wuyou's eyes, Qian Renxue was clearly sick—and seriously so. It was entirely a twisted psychology born from a childhood deprived of maternal love.

This was the classic case of using others' submission to fill the void of love in childhood, using an intense need for control to mask the inner unease caused by a lack of maternal affection. The stronger the genius who submitted to her, the more unprecedented peace and reassurance she felt.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you flatter me."

"I, Qin Ming, am a teacher at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the leader of the Royal Team. When my students are in trouble, it's only natural for me to step forward. This is my duty as a teacher and leader, hardly a merit worth mentioning."

Qin Ming bowed to "Xue Qinghe," his tone very humble, but his eyes and straight back carried a hint of pride.

As a Grassroots Spirit Master from a common background, his current glory and status were entirely thanks to the full cultivation of his esteemed teachers at Shrek Academy.

Surely, once those teachers joined Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they would grow stronger and achieve even greater glory.

Perhaps even surpass the current reputation of Heaven Dou Royal Academy and become the most revered number-one academy across the entire Douluo Continent!

At that thought, the light in Qin Ming's eyes burned even brighter. His whole body felt like it had been injected with adrenaline, and his back straightened even more.

To repay this debt of gratitude, he was determined to let his teachers stand at the pinnacle of spirit master education. This was both his confidence in their strength and his pride as a disciple of Shrek Academy.

Just as Qin Ming was lost in his vision of the future, Xia Wuyou's single sentence sent him tumbling from heaven straight into hell...
