The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's Reaction

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the tender embrace between mother and child continues.

Outside, however, a name has been like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up towering waves.

Tianqing Douluo, Fu Shiyan.

Titled Douluo in his early twenties.

The Beichen Fu Clan!

These words spread throughout the entire Soul Master circle of Heaven Dou City overnight.

It turned out that, outside the courtyard at that time, in addition to Qian Renxue, Tang Hao, and Ning Fengzhi, there were also some Soul Saint and Soul Douluo level experts who were relatively close by who sensed that terrifying aura fluctuation.

Among them were the three members of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy — Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, Zhilin.

When they arrived, the standoff between Fu Shiyan and Azure Luan Douluo had already ended. Although they did not get close, they still managed to hear snippets of conversation from afar, thanks to their Soul Douluo- level strength.

"Title: Tianqing"

"Titled Douluo in his early twenties."

"The Beichen Fu Clan."

"And finally, I want to establish an academy!"

These words exploded in their ears like thunder.

They dared not get too close, and after confirming the authenticity of the message, they hurriedly retreated.

And the message was passed on from their mouths.

One tells ten, ten tell a hundred.

Within just a few days, the entire Soul Master community in Heaven Dou City was discussing the same topic—

Titled Douluo in his early twenties? How is that possible?

It should be noted that the youngest publicly known Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent was Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo.

He was already forty-four years old when he broke through to the Titled Douluo.

Early twenties? What does that even mean?

This means that the young man named Fu Shiyan reached this level a full twenty years earlier than Tang Hao!

Twenty years!

What does this mean?

This means that his talent far surpasses that of any known powerhouse in the world!

Countless people questioned it, countless people were shocked, and countless people wanted to find out the truth.

But those powerful individuals who had truly sensed that aura remained silent.

Because they knew it was true.

That night, in the Imperial Study of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

The lights were on full display.

The Xue Ye, his expression solemn.

Below, several high-ranking officials stood with their hands at their sides, the atmosphere solemn.

Xue Qinghe stood among the crowd, his expression calm and unreadable.

Prince Xue Xing stood on the other side, his gaze gloomy, lost in thought.

"You all heard what the three education commissioners said."

The Xue Ye's voice was deep and slightly hoarse as he asked:

"Is that Fu Shiyan really Titled Douluo in his early twenties?"

Meng Shenji stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."

"Although we dared not approach, that aura... was far beyond that of an ordinary Soul Douluo."

"Moreover, we personally heard that Azure Luan Douluo utter the words ' Titled Douluo in his early twenties'."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye fell silent.

Titled Douluo in his early twenties.

If such a person could be won over to the Heaven Dou Empire...

Thinking of this, he looked at the assembled officials and said:

"Tell me, how should we deal with this person?"

After he finished speaking, an old minister stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, I believe we should invite him with great gifts. If we can make him a retainer of the Heaven Dou Imperial House or grant him a title, it would be a tremendous help to the empire."

Another minister echoed:

"Indeed, Titled Douluo in his early twenties has a limitless future. If we can befriend him, the empire will be worry-free for decades to come."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, someone looked at Xue Qinghe with incredulous admiration in their eyes:

"Your Highness, I've heard that you and this His Excellency Tianqing... have known each other for a long time?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Xue Qinghe.

Yes, they've all heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has been frequently visiting that courtyard in recent years.

They had initially thought it was just a casual acquaintance, since the young people in that courtyard didn't seem particularly special in their spies' investigation.

But who would have thought that person was actually Titled Douluo!

It was hidden so well!

His Highness the Crown Prince's judgment is remarkably accurate?

Xue Ye also looked at Xue Qinghe, his eyes filled with approval.

He was always satisfied with this son.

He treated people with respect and courtesy, displaying the qualities of a wise ruler.

In retrospect, his judgment was even better than he had imagined.

Moreover, Xue Ye touched his increasingly weak body, and a thought vaguely formed in his mind.

Xue Qinghe noticed everyone's gazes, but simply lowered his eyes slightly, his expression calm.

Her heart wasn't really here.

The Soul Ring Configuration that Fu Shiyan displayed when confronting Azure Luan Douluo, and the terrifying aura it exuded...

These images kept swirling in his mind.

After a moment, he composed himself, stepped forward, first bowed to Xue Ye, then swept his gaze over the assembled officials, his voice calm yet clear:

"I have known His Excellency Tianqing for three years now."

Everyone listened quietly, their eyes all fixed on Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe continued:

"In the past three years, I have invited him to work at Tiandou Royal Academy countless times, and I have also proposed to grant him a title and offer him enshrinement treatment. But he..."

He paused, his gaze quickly sweeping over the ministers and Xue Ye before continuing:

"They all refused."

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

Rejected?

"Based on our interactions over the years, His Excellency Tianqing does not value fame and fortune; on the contrary, he is rather indifferent to them."

Xue Qinghe looked at Xue Ye and said seriously:

"In my opinion, the most important thing for the Heaven Dou Empire to do at this time is not to try to sway him with fame and fortune, but to follow the information that the three education committee members heard—that he intends to establish an academy."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's eyes flashed.

Xue Qinghe continued:

"In that case, the Heaven Dou Empire should provide him with the greatest support."

"The college's qualification audit, the approval of the construction land, and all other procedures should be completed quickly."

Then, his voice rose slightly:

"Furthermore, in the construction of the academy, the Heaven Dou Empire must provide the greatest investment and support, even before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye slowly nodded.

That makes sense.

Trying to sway someone who is indifferent to fame and fortune with the promise of wealth and status is a poor strategy.

It would be better to give him the greatest support in what he truly wants to do.

He looked at the assembled officials and asked in a deep voice:

What do you think?

The ministers all nodded in agreement.

The Xue Ye immediately made the decision:

"In that case, this matter will be entirely handled by Qinghe."

He looked at Xue Qinghe, his eyes filled with trust and expectation:

"Make sure it's done well."

Xue Qinghe bowed respectfully and said:

"Your subject will obey Your Majesty's decree."

His voice was calm, and his expression was normal.

As the Xue Ye looked at him, the thought in his mind became clearer.

Prince Xue Xing remained silent, his expression even more gloomy than before.

Meanwhile, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan...
