A Mix-Up
Xue Qinghe heard this and took another sip of tea in a leisurely manner.
She put the tea cup back on the stone table gracefully with both hands, then raised her eyes and said softly.
"I wonder how you have considered what Qinghe proposed last time?"
What she was talking about was of course the last time she invited Fu Shiyan to join Heaven Dou Royal Academy as a mentor, and even to participate in the continent-wide high-level Soul Master Academy elite competition three years later.
Fu Shiyan slowly shook his head.
"If His Highness came here to ask about this matter, then I'm sorry, but Fu has no intention of entering Heaven Dou Royal Academy, let alone participating in any Soul Master Tournament."
His refusal was straightforward and he had no interest in participating in Soul Master Tournament and Fu Shiyan.
According to his estimate, after three years, his Soul Power Level may already be more than Soul Saint.
Let a person who may have the strength of Soul Douluo or even higher participate in an event that restricts the age to those under twenty-five years old and the highest level of opponents is Spirit King?
This is simply ridiculous.
Imagine that the young Soul Master on the opposite side solemnly showed four Spirit Ring, and he showed eight Spirit Ring with his backhand...
The picture was so beautiful that he didn't dare to look at it.
To him, this is no different than playing house for a child.
Even with his current level 75 Soul Power, combined with many methods, he can suppress or even defeat a level 93 Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo in a short time. It is really meaningless to bully a group of children.
As for becoming a teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?
It was enough for him to teach Tang San, these "problem children" with extraordinary talents and distinctive personalities, and he didn't want to cause more trouble for himself.
When Xue Qinghe heard Fu Shiyan's rejection, there was no surprise in his eyes.
She didn't expect to succeed with just one invitation, this was more of a reason to start the conversation.
"In this case, Qinghe is taking the liberty."
She nodded slightly to express her understanding, and then changed the subject.
"Mr. Fu Don't blame Qinghe for being curious. Last time we met in a hurry, we didn't inquire about many things in detail. I heard that my husband only came to settle here Heaven Dou City in recent years. I wonder where his ancestral home is? Is it in my Heaven Dou or in the Star Luo Empire?"
Hearing this, Fu Shiyan glanced at her.
He himself is naturally from the Heaven Dou Empire.
But the shell background he wrote for "Beichen Fu Clan" has its sphere of influence located in the Star Luo Empire territory Beichen Mountain Range.
After thinking for a moment, he gave an answer based on disguised identity.
"Fu was not born in Heaven Dou, but his ancestral home... is considered Star Luo Empire." He replied in a calm tone.
However, when these words fell into Qian Renxue's ears, the vague speculation in her mind instantly became clear.
A flash of understanding flashed in her eyes.
Sure enough!
The "Tianxing King Mansion Guard Commander" whom Snake Lance Douluo heard called "Young Master", and Fu Shiyan himself admitted that his ancestral home was Star Luo Empire.
Time, identity, place, strength...
All these clues seem to be perfectly connected by the "story" constructed in her mind.
She is almost convinced that Fu Shiyan is the Star Luo Empire Tianxing King orphan who survived Star Luo Empire's brutal royal elimination and lives incognito in Heaven Dou!
This inference made her heart move slightly.
Star Luo Imperial Family's inheritance system that is like raising a worm, she has always heard of.
The fate of losers is often extremely miserable.
If Fu Shiyan is really the son of Tianxing King, then there is an irresolvable hatred for killing his father and a potential threat to the throne between him and the current Star Luo Emperor.
This seemed to allow her to see an excellent opportunity to win over or even conquer this person.
A young talent full of hatred for the Star Luo Imperial Family, whose talent and strength are terrifying, if he can be used by her and Spirit Hall...
Qian Renxue Thoughts were racing in his mind, but he remained calm on the outside.
The smile on her face became more gentle and kind.
"That's it. Star Luo Empire is an outstanding person. It is really extraordinary to be able to give birth to a person like Mr. Fu."
She did not delve into the specific place of origin, as if it was really just an ordinary topic that came up casually.
Next, she chatted with Fu Shiyan seemingly casually for a while, covering Soul Master's views on cultivation, Heaven Dou City's style, and even occasionally mentioned some old anecdotes about the Star Luo Empire, secretly observing Fu Shiyan's reaction.
Fu Shiyan's answers were mostly brief, and his attitude always maintained a polite detachment.
After about a cup of tea, Qian Renxue felt that today's goal had been basically achieved.
She got the key identity clues and observed Fu Shiyan at close range again.
So, she stood up gracefully and said goodbye to Fu Shiyan.
"Mr. Naochao is at peace today. We have a long way to go. I hope to have more communication with you in the future. Qinghe Farewell."
Fu Shiyan just nodded without saying anything and watched her turn and walk out of the door.
The automatically closing courtyard door separates the inside and outside into two worlds.
Qian Renxue did not return directly to the palace after leaving the courtyard.
She boarded the carriage parked on the street corner not far away. In the carriage, the gentle and jade-like princely smile on her face gradually faded away, replaced by a deep thought.
"Fu Shiyan...Tianxing King orphan..."
She whispered to herself, her eyes twinkling.
If this judgment is correct, then the value that can be utilized in this person is far greater than that of a simple young strong man.
The secrets and internal conflicts of the Star Luo Imperial Family that may be involved behind it may become an important chess piece in leveraging the situation on the mainland in the future.
Of course, all this requires more conclusive evidence to support her inference.
She needs to know more about the inside story of the Tianxing King incident seven years ago, and the exact information on whether any heirs have leaked out.
Thinking of this, she mobilized a hint of Soul Power and made a specific, weak gesture in the carriage.
The light next to the carriage seemed to be distorted, and an illusory figure slowly emerged and solidified, it was Snake Lance Douluo She Long.
He clung to the outer wall of the carriage like a shadow, his breath condensing to the extreme.
"Young Master."
The sound of Snake Lance Douluo is transmitted through Soul Power and directly sent to the ears of Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue did not open the curtain, and her steady voice came out as Soul Power.
"Uncle She, there is something you need to do."
"Please give Young Master instructions."
"Immediately arrange reliable personnel to sneak into the Star Luo Empire and investigate in detail all the information about Tianxing King who died seven years ago."
"The key point is whether he has any surviving heirs, as well as the detailed inside story of the battle for the throne and his 'death'."
"Remember, be thorough, but be secretive."
Snake Lance Douluo She Long had no questions, just responded respectfully.
"Yes, Young Master. I will make arrangements right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure became blurry again, disappearing quietly as if melting into the air.
The carriage started slowly and headed in the direction of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
In the carriage, Qian Renxue leaned on the soft chair cushion and closed his eyes.
Fu Shiyan's indifferent face with a hint of impatience appeared repeatedly in her mind.
