"Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Su Ye keenly sensed the shift in the other's mood and called out in confusion.
Qian Renxue immediately regained her composure, a gentle smile blooming on her face once more: "It is nothing. Please forgive me for this abrupt visit, Brother Su Ye."
After the two entered the room and sat down, Su Ye poured a cup of water and began chatting idly with Qian Renxue, mostly to see what this sister was after.
"Brother Su Ye is exceptionally gifted. Qinghe has long admired you, and seeing you today, this trip was truly worth it."
Qian Renxue wore a professional, polite smile, but her words were sincere.
If nothing else, just Su Ye's handsome face—second only to the readers—made the trip worthwhile.
As everyone knows, our Miss Qian is also a fan of good looks.
Of course, looks alone are not enough; one must also possess strength and talent, otherwise, they would never catch Miss Qian's eye.
Su Ye met all the criteria; even without the Diary, he was someone Qian Renxue would have been determined to conquer.
Now that she had confirmed he was the owner of the Diary and knew the future, she could not let him slip away.
Thus, throughout their conversation, she provided plenty of emotional value, tossing out compliments like "peerless hero" and "extraordinary prodigy" with ease.
Su Ye didn't show it on the surface, but he felt a bit smug inside.
If it were just Xue Qinghe, a grown man, praising him, he might not have felt much.
Do I not know that I am a peerless hero and an extraordinary prodigy?
But if it were the Angel Lady, that would be a different story.
For a man, praise from a beautiful woman carries a special bonus.
Of course, the most direct and fundamental praise would be, "You are so strong."
However, given their current relationship, he wouldn't hear that yet; he would have to wait for the future... well, you know?
"Your Highness is too kind. This Humble One is merely lucky and possesses a tiny bit of strength; I am unworthy of such praise from Your Highness."
Su Ye offered a few humble pleasantries before changing the subject: "I wonder, what brings Your Highness to seek me out today?"
Qian Renxue did not expect Su Ye to be so direct, and she also sensed his vigilance and guardedness. She paused, then smiled gently: "Brother Su Ye is overthinking it."
"Qinghe learned of a genius like Brother Su Ye by chance and felt a sense of admiration. Coming here today is simply to pay a visit and get to know you; there is no other agenda."
"If you must ask if there is a purpose, it is that Qinghe wishes to ask if Brother Su Ye has any interest in coming to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cultivate?"
"Space-type martial souls are extremely rare, especially with Brother Su Ye's outstanding talent. Qinghe can guarantee that as long as you come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the academy will provide you with the best resources and the best training."
Having said this, as if remembering something, she added: "Brother Su Ye need not feel any burden. Qinghe simply cherishes talent and has no other intentions."
"Of course, in a little over two years, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament will take place. If Brother Su Ye has no other arrangements by then, Qinghe would like to ask you to participate in that grand event and win glory for the Empire."
[Only inviting me to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to cultivate? No other intentions? No requirements?]
[Hey, hey, you've already made a request, haven't you?]
[Saying it so nicely, aren't you still just coveting this young master?]
[Heh, woman, I have already seen through you!]
[But that's fine; it's a perfect chance to get in touch with Dugu Yan and use that to find out the whereabouts of her grandfather, that old poison master.]
Su Ye's thoughts turned, and he felt that agreeing wouldn't be a bad thing; in fact, it might even be to his advantage.
The Invisibility Veil had many limitations, so it would be best to visit the Mandarin Duck Pot when Dugu Bo was away; otherwise, it would be very troublesome if he ran into him.
Seeing the update in the sea of consciousness, Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes and gave Su Ye a rather dangerous look.
This Miss is coveting your body?
Although... well, it is something like that, but you phrased it with such ambiguity!
It makes it sound like I'm so desperate for you.
However, come to think of it.
Su Ye really did have a vibe that struck a chord in her heart.
Short black hair, clean and sharp, a tall and straight figure, a handsome and peerless face, and an aura of a youth who was both aloof and dazzling.
Judging solely by appearance, he was indeed the most outstanding person she had seen in all these years, and compared to herself...
Pah, pah, pah! Qian Renxue, what are you thinking?
You are here to recruit talent, not to pick a husband. How could you...
Meanwhile.
Seeing the Diary update, almost all the owners chose to check it immediately.
When they saw the words "Heaven Dou Royal Academy," some people's eyes lit up, and their minds began to stir, as if they had come up with a plan.
Bibi Dong's attitude was particularly clear; she immediately wanted to send people to Heaven Dou City to capture Su Ye.
She was not Qian Renxue; she had no interest in playing the game of "respecting the wise and condescending to scholars."
"Wait."
Hu Liena saw her teacher's movements and hurriedly spoke up. Seeing her teacher look over, she pondered for a moment before saying, "Teacher, Su Ye and the Diary are both very mysterious. Bringing him back just like this might be inappropriate, don't you think?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong also came to her senses.
In her view, the Diary was very likely the handiwork of a god; in other words, Su Ye was likely a successor to a god as well. Viewed in that light, it was indeed inappropriate.
Seeing that her teacher seemed to have taken it to heart, Hu Liena paused and added, "Teacher, why not let me go? I guarantee I will bring back what you desire."
Bibi Dong glanced at this disciple; how could she not know what she was thinking?
That Su Ye was clearly a man, and her disciple was planning to use a beauty trap.
Although this method was indeed more secure than taking direct action, but...
"It's alright, Teacher. Besides, don't you know my capabilities? I won't be at a disadvantage." Hu Liena smiled confidently, bright and moving.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly. In terms of looks, this disciple of hers wasn't peerless, but her temperament and mannerisms were exquisite. Coupled with the influence of her Martial Soul, ordinary men simply couldn't resist.
"Nana, have you thought this through?"
"I have, Teacher. I won't let you down." Hu Liena nodded firmly, her eyes resolute.
"Very well, then you shall go."
"Yes, Teacher!"
After Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong thought about it and still felt uneasy, so she immediately ordered Yue Guan to follow her secretly.
She truly raised this disciple as if she were her own daughter.
Qian Renxue: ??? Should I just leave then?
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who had just finished training and walked to the side to rest, suddenly froze.
They looked at each other, both seeing surprise and curiosity in the other's eyes.
These two good sisters had naturally discovered each other and even added each other as friends. Seeing the Diary update at this moment, their thoughts immediately aligned.
Su Ye?
The owner of that mysterious Diary was coming to Heaven Dou Royal Academy?
"Lingling, he's coming over. Let's go and take a look."
"This..."
