Qian Renxue Invites Him Again, and an Old Case Is Reopened

Turning around, Ye Qing looked at the members of the Imperial Fighting Team.

"You few will remain here in seclusion for the time being."

"The noise and chaos outside are none of your concern."

"Just stay here and give me some serious internal competition."

Yu Feng let out a roar and jumped up.

"Don't worry, Captain!"

"With this Immortal Herb and this Immortal Space, if I don't reach level 40 Soul Ancestor within a year, I'll offer my head in retribution!"

"I'll also go into seclusion!" Osler shouted at the top of his lungs.

No one wanted to let go of this great opportunity for cultivation.

After all, one year of training here is equivalent to two or three years outside.

After settling the Imperial Fighting Team, Ye Qing left the Heavenly God Realm.

He pointed his fingers like a knife and made a light slash forward.

A dark rift was forcibly torn open in the void.

Ye Qing stepped into it, and his figure vanished without a trace.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy

The void distorted slightly.

Ye Qing, dressed in white, landed gracefully without a single wrinkle.

Before he could even step onto the stairs...

Three sharp whooshing sounds suddenly came rushing in.

Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhilin, the three education commissioners, landed in front of him in a flurry of activity.

Meng Shenji, his white hair disheveled, paced anxiously around Ye Qing several times.

"Ye Qing!"

"You finally showed up, kid!"

Meng Shenji craned his neck, desperately peering behind Ye Qing.

"What about the others?"

"Where are Yanzi and Ning Rongrong? Where did those brats Yu Feng and his gang, go? Why are you the only one who came back?"

Bai Baoshan slapped his thigh anxiously. "You went out of the city to hunt for Soul Ring, did you encounter any unexpected trouble?"

Ye Qing had his hands tucked into his sleeves, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips.

"The three education commissioners can rest assured, Lingling and Ning Rongrong's Soul Hunting is going smoothly."

"As for Yu Feng and the others..."

Ye Qing casually tossed out a reason.

"By chance, they gained some insight and found a secluded place to go into seclusion."

"I probably won't be returning to the academy anytime soon."

"Seclusion?"

Zhilin, the education commissioner, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

A trip to Sunset Forest, and then the whole group suddenly went into seclusion?

But seeing Ye Qing's calm and collected face, the three education committee members swallowed all their doubts.

This kid has too many skills; he can't be judged by ordinary standards.

Meng Shenji's expression turned serious, and he lowered his voice.

"It's good that nothing serious happened."

"However, Ye Qing, I have important business with you."

"Not long after you left, the Crown Prince's Residence's residence sent a secret letter."

"His Highness Crown Prince Xue Qinghe specifically requested that you come over for a chat!"

"Xue Qinghe?"

Ye Qing raised an eyebrow.

Why would Qian Renxue, this perfectly fine woman, suddenly send me an invitation?

"His Highness the Crown Prince personally sent out an invitation to recruit us; this is an unparalleled honor!"

Bai Baoshan suggested quietly from the side.

"Ye Qing, do you want to make some preparations?"

A playful smile curved Ye Qing's lips.

Qian Renxue did a good job portraying Xue Qinghe.

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power and a mind that can foresee the plot, these tricks are nothing.

Even if it were a trap, he wouldn't be afraid now.

After all, he's a seasoned cunning player in the online world now.

No need for preparations.

Ye Qing straightened his collar, his tone nonchalant.

"Since Your Highness is so kind, then I shall make a trip to the Crown Prince's Residence."

"Let's see what kind of show our Prince Xue Qinghe has prepared."

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.

The vermilion gates of the mansion stood majestically, exuding an inviolable imperial majesty.

The guards on either side, clad in heavy armor, stood tall and proud.

Ye Qing slowly stepped onto the white marble steps.

The servant who was already waiting at the door recognized him at a glance and quickly bowed to greet him.

"Young Master Ye, please follow me."

As you walk through winding corridors and secluded courtyards, the air is filled with the delicate scent of sandalwood.

The main hall doors were open.

Seated in the main seat was a figure dressed in a white robe with gold trim.

The man had a face as handsome as jade, a gentle and refined temperament, and eyes that conveyed a natural sense of approachability befitting someone in a superior position.

It was Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe.

"Young friend Ye, please take a seat."

Xue Qinghe stood up to greet him, his smile so gentle that no one could find fault with it.

However.

Just as Ye Qing stepped into the main hall...

A barely perceptible golden glint suddenly flashed deep within Xue Qinghe's clear eyes.

The immense spiritual power, like an invisible net, quietly enveloped Ye Qing.

Qian Renxue wanted to find out Ye Qing's current situation.

But the moment his mental energy touched the area within three feet of Ye Qing...

Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled.

The probing spiritual force encountered no resistance from any Soul Power.

Instead, it fell straight into a bottomless black hole in the universe!

There was no obstruction whatsoever, nor any feedback of Soul Power.

All mental perception vanished completely the moment they came into contact with Ye Qing!

Ye Qing, dressed in a brocade robe, stood before me with a smile on his lips, clearly alive and well.

But in Qian Renxue's spiritual world...

What lay before me was a vast, boundless void and desolation!

Profound!

Vast!

Completely unpredictable!

Compared to a year ago, Ye Qing now resembles a dormant ancient volcano, radiating a mysterious and oppressive aura that sends chills down one's spine!

Xue Qinghe's foot suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The gentle smile on his face almost crumbled.

His hands, hidden in the sleeves of his golden robe, clenched tightly, his heart pounding wildly.

How is that possible?

His cultivation level had already surpassed that of Soul Emperor, and his spiritual power was comparable to that of Soul Sage!

But now, she couldn't even sense a trace of Ye Qing's Soul Power fluctuations?

What kind of freak is this kid?

What terrifying strength is he hiding?

Qian Renxue stared intently at Ye Qing as he entered the main hall, a layer of cold sweat instantly seeping down her back.

Qian Renxue tried her best to suppress the raging storm in her heart.

The white-clad youth in front of her gave her a very strange feeling.

It's like a vast ocean that appears calm but is actually unfathomably deep.

If you're not careful, you'll be swallowed whole by that bottomless vortex, leaving not even bones behind.

She was, after all, a top-notch undercover agent who had spent many years immersed in the imperial family.

In the blink of an eye, the stiffness on her face transformed into a warm, gentle smile.

"Young friend Ye, please have a seat."

Qian Renxue gracefully gestured and poured a cup of top-grade Silver Needle Tea, which exuded a delicate fragrance.

"Today, I see that young friend Ye is even more charming than before."

Ye Qing sat casually on the rosewood chair.

He showed no sign of restraint whatsoever, casually picking up a delicate piece of imperial pastry and stuffing it into his mouth.

"Your Highness is too kind."

"Please speak your mind; everyone's time is precious."

Seeing his bluntness, Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly.

He took a sip of the fragrant tea, his expression turning solemn.

"Since young friend Ye is a straightforward person, then this prince will not beat around the bush."

"Young friend Ye, do you still remember the case of ' Blackwind Stockade Stronghold bandits colluding with slave traders' that you and Junior Sister Ning Rongrong inadvertently solved a year ago?"

Ye Qing was taken aback. "Of course I remember."

"I casually killed a few foolish bandit leaders and rescued a group of captured civilians."

"What, has His Highness the Crown Prince uncovered some new tricks in this old case?"

She let out a long sigh.

A look of deep sorrow and heaviness appeared on that incomparably handsome face.

"It's not just about discovering tricks."

"I followed that clue closely and investigated for a whole year."

"You wouldn't believe it until you investigate, and what you find is absolutely shocking!"

Qian Renxue's voice was low, suppressing a surge of anger.

" Within Heaven Dou City, there are actually more than a dozen self-proclaimed prestigious noble families who have secretly participated in this bloody scheme!"

"Driven by exorbitant profits, they wantonly arrested border civilians, trafficked in slaves, and destroyed hundreds and thousands of families!"

"The cries of those innocent people keep me awake at night whenever I think of them!"

This performance was truly Oscar-worthy.

Anyone else would probably have been so moved by the Crown Prince's love for his people that they would have bowed down in gratitude.

Ye Qing, however, watched his performance with a leisurely air.

I even thought about giving Qian Renxue an Oscar for Best Actress.
