The Crown Prince's Residence Runs into Ning Fengzhi, Tang Hao Takes the Blame Again

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning, the group appeared at the training ground as agreed.

When the four arrived, they found that Han Li was already there, fiddling with something at the edge of the training field.

"What are you doing?"

Shui Bing'er walked over and looked at the incomplete Soul Bone in Han Li's hand, asking with some curiosity.

"A simple formation that can gather energy and change gravity. Although it can't compare to the treatment in Spirit City, the basic infrastructure is still necessary."

Han Li responded with a smile, then buried a broken Soul Bone with strange patterns in the ground.

"Okay, now you can feel it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the training field felt their bodies sink, and a force appeared throughout their bodies.

"It's about two to three times faster, which is perfect for daily practice."

Xiu'er was the most perceptive about this, and with just a little judgment, she came to a conclusion.

"Yes, Xiu'er is right. The usual cultivation methods only serve as an auxiliary function for us now. This is enough for our daily cultivation."

Han Li felt the gravity on his body and nodded in satisfaction.

This is his second product, following those that conceal one's scent and alter one's body shape, and the effects seem to be quite good.

Of the people present, only Zhu Zhuqing seemed a little uncomfortable; the other three appeared quite at ease.

"Just get used to it gradually. Don't push yourself too hard at the beginning, otherwise it will do more harm than good."

Han Li gave Zhu Zhuqing a special reminder: she was a bit reckless when it came to cultivation, and he didn't want her gains to turn into debuffs.

"Um."

Zhu Zhuqing returned to her usual self and nodded.

"You should carry this with you at all times. Although it doesn't have a gravity effect, it still has the effect of gathering energy."

Han Li then casually handed a few small trinkets to the group. These were made from scraps of material and sculpted into the appearance of each person after Martial Soul Possession. They were quite nice figurines.

The group happily accepted it, and Dugu Yan immediately pressed her lips to his face, clearly very satisfied.

In the following time, Han Li taught the Xuan Mysterious Heaven Skill to the others, and their improved cultivation speed drew another round of amazement.

As for the other cultivation techniques, Han Li is using his authority to re-determine them. Once they are completed and more in line with the rules of the Douluo Continent, it won't be too late to teach them.

In a lively atmosphere, the five finished their morning training.

"You can arrange your own training time afterwards. I'm going out for a bit."

Han Li turned his head to look at the group.

"Should we go find Qian Renxue to talk about Lingling? Do you need me to come with you?"

Dugu Yan asked casually.

"Indeed, we are going to find Qian Renxue, but it's not just about Ye Lingling; we also need to deal with Zhu Qing's matter."

Han Li couldn't help but burst out laughing when he thought of what Yu Xiaogang had said last night.

"Next time, when we go to see Ye Lingling, I'll take you with me."

Han Li then looked at Dugu Yan and comforted her.

"Okay, that works too."

Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue were not familiar with each other, and thinking that she would feel uncomfortable talking to each other after they went there, she agreed.

Are there any follow-up issues regarding Zhu Qing's matter?

Shui Bing'er squeezed Zhu Zhuqing's hand beside her and asked the question she wanted to know.

"Even if there's trouble, it has nothing to do with us. We can just leave it to Qian Renxue. Anyway, nobody knows Zhu Qing is with us. Once things have calmed down, even if they find out, it won't matter anymore," Han Li said shamelessly.

Zhu Zhuqing is from the Star Luo Empire. She disappeared at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Her teachers and teammates were originally from Shrek. What is her relationship with the Spirit Hall Saint Child?

"You mustn't let Qian Renxue hear what you're saying, or she'll definitely challenge you to a duel."

Hearing his shameless reply, Shui Bing'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"It's okay, she'll have to deal with it anyway, whether I give it to her or not."

Han Li stated that he has absolutely no conscience.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

After leaving a message, Han Li left the courtyard and headed towards the Heaven Dou Crown Prince's Residence.

That's what they say, but since he's the one who caused this, it wouldn't be right to completely ignore it. Besides, he still needs Qian Renxue to find a reason to bring Ye Lingling over, and having Dugu Yan contact her and take her away isn't a good option.

Because of the intelligence exchange yesterday, Qian Renxue seemed to have guessed that he would come today. This time, the process was faster than usual; Han Li was invited in almost as soon as the message was sent in.

Seeing Han Li regain his breath and appearance right in front of her, Qian Renxue couldn't help but speak up, "Since you have this ability, why didn't you use the token to come in directly? Why did you have to go through that secret channel?"

Han Li was taken aback. Right, why did he insist on going through that channel? It would be impolite to come in concealed, but he could have just gone through the formality of visiting.

"I forgot. Maybe it's because I felt it was a ritual. I'll definitely do it next time."

Han Li answered confidently, which made Qian Renxue shake her head repeatedly. Sure enough, he and Grandfather Broad Hill were master and disciple.

"Never mind, it's not important."

Qian Renxue skipped over the topic and looked at him, her voice carrying a hint of complaint. "You acted far too quickly. You only asked me for the academy's identification yesterday, and then you took Zhu Zhuqing away that same day, causing such a commotion. You should have given me a heads-up beforehand."

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"

Hearing her complaint, Han Li felt a little embarrassed, but he really didn't mean it.

Zhu Zhuqing was just a casual arrangement he made, and he didn't expect it to cause such a stir yesterday. The main reason was that Yu Xiaogang was stirring up trouble.

Seeing that Qian Renxue still looked very suspicious of him, and remembering the information that this guy had previously spread to the outside world that the Spirit Hall Saint Child was a womanizer and "deliberately smeared" his image, Han Li had no choice but to simply recount what happened yesterday.

"No wonder they were so hesitant when they mentioned it to me before; they really are useless."

This is Qian Renxue's evaluation of the group.

"However, how can they be so sure that Ning Rongrong won't interfere? As for Yu Xiaogang? He doesn't have that kind of influence."

After listening to his account, Qian Renxue immediately identified the flaws in the whole story.

Based on her current intelligence, Tang San is still a commoner genius with good talent and luck, but with secrets.

"You're not hiding something from me, are you?"

Qian Renxue suddenly turned her head to look at Han Li; something about this matter seemed a bit off.

"Forehead..."

Just as Han Li was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Crown Prince, your teacher and Sword Douluo have come to visit."

"Understood. Take the teacher and Sword Douluo to the reception room first. I'll be right there."

Qian Renxue gave an order to the outside, then looked at Han Li and said, "I'll go see what they need to do. You wait here for a while."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I can hear you from here."

Han Li pointed to his head with a show of bravado, clearly indicating that he was going to eavesdrop.

"Whatever you want, as long as you're confident you won't be noticed."

Qian Renxue, considering his abnormally strong Spiritual Power, let him be and didn't care much about what he wanted to eavesdrop on.

The fact that Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo are visiting at this time is most likely because of what happened yesterday. Han Li knows about it in advance so that she won't have to repeat it later.

If she weren't still unsure whether Han Li's disguise could fool Sword Douluo, and if Ning Fengzhi hadn't been so familiar with "Xue Qinghe" that Han Li's identity issue wasn't easy to resolve, she wouldn't have minded taking him directly to the scene to listen in.

Leaving behind a message, Qian Renxue transformed back into Xue Qinghe and walked towards the front hall.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them sat down again.

"Teacher, did you come here today because of Ning Rongrong's team?"

Following their previous interactions, Xue Qinghe asked quite bluntly.

"That's right, it's because of this. But Xue Qinghe, this time I'm not doing it for Ning Rongrong. She wasn't involved."

Ning Fengzhi was a cunning old fox. He immediately distanced himself from the matter, even though Ning Rongrong hadn't actually been involved and was at most just a background character.

"Yes, you're right. I've done a quick look, and it really has nothing to do with Junior Sister Ning Rongrong. So, what is this?"

Xue Qinghe responded with a smile, which was considered an agreement with his words. Then he showed a puzzled expression, as if he did not quite understand his purpose.

"Tell me first, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

Ning Fengzhi took a sip of tea and looked at his disciple, the Crown Prince.

"Let's give it a cold shoulder. You may not know this yet, but Zhu Zhuqing has gone missing. I've already sent people out to search for her, but there's still no trace of her."

Xue Qinghe frowned, then gave a wry smile and looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"Disappeared?"

Ning Fengzhi's brow twitched. Ning Rongrong hadn't mentioned this matter after returning, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence capabilities weren't that strong. He really didn't know about this.

"Yes, she disappeared after leaving the training ground, as if she vanished into thin air."

Ning Fengzhi frowned and exchanged a glance with Sword Douluo.

They disappeared from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Could it have been Tang Hao?

They learned from Ning Rongrong that the girl Zhu Zhuqing had attacked them indiscriminately.

After their last meeting, Ning Fengzhi had already noticed that the once spirited Clear Sky Douluo had changed drastically, even becoming somewhat gloomy. Given his current personality, it wasn't impossible for him to do such a thing.

Tang Hao, Tang Hao, you really are a troublemaker.

Ning Fengzhi had a headache. For the first time, he felt that reaching an agreement with Tang Hao was a mistake. Tang Hao himself was now an uncontrollable and unstable factor.

"What's wrong, teacher?"

Seeing that he remained silent, Xue Qinghe asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing. I was overthinking it. I was worried that Ning Rongrong's future at the academy would be affected after this happened. Now that Zhu Zhuqing has disappeared, it's actually a good thing for her."

Ning Fengzhi chuckled without changing his expression, but his excuse was rather clumsy, as if he had forgotten that just a minute ago he had said that he was not here for Ning Rongrong.

"Yes, I will also send people to help you find Zhu Zhuqing's whereabouts. After all, she is Ning Rongrong's friend."

Ning Fengzhi chose to end the topic quickly, clearly not wanting Xue Qinghe to continue asking questions.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."

Although Xue Qinghe knew that Ning Fengzhi was definitely hiding something or knew something, it would be inappropriate for his disciple to press further after Ning Fengzhi had already said so.
