On the early morning of Saturday, Xue Ke took a carriage back to the palace early. On the one hand, she was worried about her father's body, and also because her experience with Gu Tian this week was so bizarre that she couldn't wait to report to Xue Qinghe.
Ning Rongrong got up early to prepare breakfast for the girls. Rather than saying that she got up early, it was better to say that she stayed up all night, for fear that Ye Lingling would do something extraordinary to her.
At the dinner table, no one spoke or mentioned what happened last night. Ye Lingling took a bite of a piece of bread and felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit awkward. This was the first time to eat with these girls. Ye Lingling thought to himself: If we really follow Gu Tian in the future, wouldn't these girls just bow their heads and not look up to see each other?
"Um...Gu Tian hasn't come back yet?" Ye Lingling thought for a long time before asking this question.
After hearing this, several people shook their heads. Xiao Wu explained to Ye Lingling, "Gu Tian went to Lake of Life last night and never came back. He probably spent the night there."
"Lake of Life? Where is that?"
In this day and age, humans know very little about Star Dou Great Forest, so Ye Lingling didn't understand it at first. After some explanation from Xiao Wu, Ye Lingling learned this shocking secret.
"Shh!" Meng Yiran made a silent gesture to signal Ye Lingling to calm down, "I was surprised when I first heard about this information, but don't you think it's very exciting? Huh! The Xiao Wu, Gu Yue and Na'er who have been with us day and night are actually the incarnations of Soul Beast! It's interesting to think about it!"
But the process of accepting new things is different for each person. It took Ye Lingling a long time to adapt.
"What? Sister Lingling, don't you like me? Didn't you say you are a lesbian?" Xiao Wu pouted and winked at Ye Lingling.
After hearing these words, Ye Lingling regained his consciousness, "Of course not! Also, do not let others know this secret, especially Gu Tian!"
On the other side, Xue Ke's first stop after entering the palace was that she did not go directly to the Crown Prince Palace, but first came to the Moonlight Pavilion Pavilion on the east side of the palace.
This is the most prestigious etiquette school in Heaven Dou City, and it is also a required place for royal children. Moonlight Pavilion's owner, Tang Yuehua, has always been known for her elegant, noble and indifferent temperament. She is not only Xue Ke's teacher, but also the kind of close friend in Xue Ke's heart who can confide her concerns.
"Teacher Yuehua, look at this fingering, how do I practice it?" Xue Ke sat in front of a guqin, plucking it lightly with his bare hands, and the sound of the piano poured out like running water from a mountain.
Tang Yuehua sat aside, holding a cup of tea in his hand, nodding slightly, smiling softly, "Ke'er, I haven't seen you for a week, your mind seems to have calmed down a lot. It seems that living in the back mountain villa is really beneficial to your practice."
Xue Ke smiled sweetly, thinking of Gu Tian's handsome face, her pretty face blushed slightly. "Brother Gu Tian took good care of me. The atmosphere there is completely different from that in the palace, very... free."
After visiting Tang Yuehua, Xue Ke walked through the long white marble corridor and came to the Crown Prince Palace, which is next to the Moonlight Pavilion.
Pushing open the study door, a faint scent of sandalwood hit my face. At this time, Xue Qinghe was crouching at the desk, with a mountain of memorials piled up in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed, looking a little tired.
"Brother Qinghe!" Xue Ke ran over happily.
"Ke'er is back." Xue Qinghe put down the charcoal in his hand and showed a warm smile, with just the right amount of doting on his mask-like face, "Why don't you rest a little longer in the academy?"
Xue Ke looked at the pile of memorials with some worry. "Brother, my father's health is not well yet? Why are so many government affairs entrusted to you?"
Xue Qinghe sighed, an imperceptible coldness flashed deep in his eyes, but his tone was still gentle. "My father has been feeling unwell recently. The imperial doctor said that it may be due to the severe wind and cold he suffered last time, and he has not been able to deal with it properly. My father was afraid that there would be a backlog of state affairs, so he asked me to help deal with some of it first. No, I can't even attend the morning court today."
"Father, auspicious people have their own destiny. Brother, you should also pay attention to your health." Xue Ke helped him tidy up the messy desk sensibly.
Xue Qinghe pulled her to sit on the soft couch next to him and asked curiously, "How did you feel after living there for a week? Gu Tian How is that guy... doing?"
When Gu Tian was mentioned, Xue Ke curled his lips and muttered in a low voice, "He, after finishing class yesterday afternoon, he didn't even say hello, so he took sister Gu Yue and Na'er to play somewhere. Until I left this morning, the three of them didn't come back."
Xue Qinghe rolled his eyes and thought of something in his mind: This guy's true nature is hard to change. He only stayed in the academy for a few days and then stayed away all night with his sisters. What a hopeless pervert.
Although Xue Qinghe was complaining in his heart, he still maintained his brother's calmness on the surface. "It seems that brother Gu Tian adapted very quickly to Heaven Dou City. Apart from being playful, did he teach you anything?"
Xue Ke's expression instantly became excited, and she even pulled Xue Qinghe's sleeve excitedly. "Brother! I was about to tell you! Brother Gu Tian gave me a magical object, and he called it Immortal Herb!"
"Immortal Herb?" Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Xue Ke No nonsense, just close your eyes and mobilize the unprecedented richness in your body Soul Power.
Buzz--!
A green brilliance full of vitality bloomed from her body. Immediately afterwards, a phantom of Swan with feathers like emerald carvings and exuding a faint divine pressure appeared behind Xue Ke.
"Brother Qinghe, the Immortal Herb brother gave me, Gu Tian, completely evolved my mutant Swan Martial Soul into the legendary Emerald Swan! And... my Soul Power has reached the full level ten!" Xue Ke showed off proudly, "When Soul Power becomes stable in a few days, I will have to trouble my brother to arrange for experts from the royal family to accompany me to hunt for a Soul Ring."
The smile on Xue Qinghe's face completely froze, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
He knows very well what Martial Soul Evolution means. It is not only an improvement in strength, but also a leap in talent and life level! According to the records of the Spirit Hall, Emerald Swan is the supreme being of the healing system. How can he forcibly evolve with just a plant?
"Ke'er, you mean... just one Immortal Herb allowed you to complete this level of transformation?" Xue Qinghe's voice became a little serious, "Are there many of those things, Gu Tian?"
Xue Ke nodded and said without any thought, "Yes, brother Gu Tian told me personally that he has plenty of this kind of thing, and he asked me not to be reluctant to eat it."
How many?!
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, and the threat assessment of Gu Tian in his mind instantly increased several levels. He originally thought that Gu Tian only relied on the weird talent of Nine-Colored Dragon Martial Soul to stand out, but now it seems that the other party actually holds strategic materials that can batch produce top geniuses!
If Spirit Hall can master this kind of resource... No, we must find out the source of these Immortal Herb. No wonder the girls around him are all monsters, they were all fed!
Xue Qinghe suppressed the shock in his heart, touched Xue Ke's head, and said solemnly, "Ke'er, have you mentioned this to Teacher Yuehua?"
Xue Ke shook his head. "Not yet, I wanted to tell my brother immediately."
"Be good, don't tell anyone about this except me for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Xue Qinghe warned, "After you return to the academy, continue to follow Gu Tian. Not only to learn medical skills, but also to observe his every move, especially his Immortal Herb origins."
Xue Ke nodded obediently, then remembered something, raised his head and asked, "By the way, brother. Tomorrow and Sunday, teacher Qin Ming said that he will take our Emperor Class, and also bring Shrek Seven Monsters across the street, to Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena for actual combat observation and competition. Do you want to go and see it together?"
"Shrek Seven Monsters? Qin Ming A student from that college before?" Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed, "Just in time, I also want to see with my own eyes the true combat power of some of them. I will accompany you on tomorrow's trip."
