Hu Liena stared at the token in Xue Qinghe's hand, asking with curiosity:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what is this?"
Suddenly, Hu Liena was startled:
"This design... Could it be the Six-Winged Angel!"
The Six-Winged Angel was a legendary God-Level Martial Soul. Those who knew about it were mostly the continent's top powerhouses and descendants of major factions, while few among the younger generation knew of it.
The reason Hu Liena knew it so clearly was, firstly, thanks to the establishment of the Martial Soul Library, which broadened her understanding of Martial Souls.
Previously, she only knew that Martial Soul quality was divided into Trash Martial Souls, ordinary Martial Souls, top Martial Souls, and super Martial Souls.
After reading the Martial Soul Basics Encyclopedia, she learned that in addition to those four qualities of Martial Souls, there were also High-Tier Martial Souls and God-Level Martial Souls.
Her Martial Soul and Yan's were top Martial Souls, while Xie Yue's Martial Soul quality was slightly inferior, being a High-Tier Martial Soul.
Secondly, she had seen Qian Zong release the Six-Winged Angel with her own eyes in the library, and that divinity remained fresh in her memory.
Xue Qinghe wore a smile at the corner of his mouth, explaining:
"This is the access token for the Martial Soul Library. Carrying this token, you can freely enter and exit the library, and you can also seek out Hall Master Qian Zong at any time."
Yan and Xie Yue's gazes fell upon the token, sizing it up carefully.
Xie Yue narrowed his crimson eyes slightly, saying softly:
"Freely entering the library-can we enter the third floor of the library?"
He had once tried with Hu Liena and Yan to enter the third floor of the library, only to be ruthlessly blocked by the guards.
Even when the guards heard that Hu Liena was the Pope's personal disciple, they did not budge at all.
Moreover, there were Titled Douluo guarding the third floor.
Xie Yue was extremely curious about the things on the third floor.
Not only him, but Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Yan were all very curious.
"That unfortunately won't do. The token permissions are limited to the first and second floors of the library."
The third floor was the most core area of the Martial Soul Library, guarded by Spirit Masters of the Angel Lineage and Titled Douluo.
Without Qian Zong's permission, even Bibi Dong had no way to go up.
Hu Liena's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise, her pretty face slightly flushed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, can you really take us to see the Young Hall Master?"
At her age, she was right in the prime of youthful awakening.
Today at the Martial Soul Library, she had been even more captivated by Qian Zong's strength and overbearing aura.
Moreover, Qian Zong's aesthetic was right up her alley.
Just thinking about being able to get close to Qian Zong made her little heart thump wildly.
Bibi Dong looked sideways, watching Hu Liena's girlish demeanor, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
This tone, this expression-it was too much like herself back then.
Just what kind of magic did this Qian Zong have? Clearly, they hadn't even spoken, yet he could bewitch her disciple.
Bibi Dong's gaze was sharp, her lips parting slightly as she wanted to scold Hu Liena a couple of times.
Yet seeing that Xue Qinghe was right beside them, she obediently closed her mouth.
Such matters could only wait until they returned for a private education.
Xue Qinghe nodded with confidence: "Of course."
At that moment, he also carefully sized up Hu Liena.
She had delicate facial features, a tall figure, plump lips, and emitted an innate sense of charm all over her body.
A pair of fox-like eyes were like a little vixen's, carrying a wild kind of allure.
She looks just so-so. I don't know why my good grandson would think this smelly fox is pretty.
Thinking and thinking, Xue Qinghe's gaze shifted to the figure in the black robe.
Bibi Dong didn't manage to withdraw her gaze from Hu Liena in time, and their eyes met. Bibi Dong subconsciously wanted to turn her head away to avoid it.
She froze for a split second, then gave up on escaping and looked straight at Xue Qinghe.
She was disguised extremely well, her eyes as calm as stagnant water, like a puppet without emotions.
Through this mutual gaze, Qian Renxue completely confirmed the identity of the person in the black robe.
Violet pupils-looking across the continent, not many people possessed them.
Xue Qinghe sneered inwardly:
Acting quite convincingly. Why didn't I notice before that you were such a good actress?
Bibi Dong's little tricks were completely inadequate in front of him.
At this moment, the thrill of crushing someone's IQ washed over him, and an inexplicable sense of exhilaration rose in the depths of Xue Qinghe's heart.
Mere Bibi Dong, how could she be a match for him?
Xue Qinghe withdrew his gaze, letting it fall back onto Hu Liena, while a meaningful smile hooked the corners of his lips.
So you want to steal my mom, then don't blame me for turning you into my granddaughter.
Right now, just thinking about it made Xue Qinghe feel vindicated, and his whole person instantly became much more spirited.
Next, he needed to work hard.
Watching the smile hanging on Xue Qinghe's face, for some reason, the anxiety deep within Bibi Dong's heart grew thicker and thicker.
It felt as if some bad thing was about to happen.
Seeking out Nana for no reason-what on earth is this rebellious daughter thinking?
Bibi Dong was furious, yet she dared not ask, and could only endure in silence.
No matter what happens, I will never allow you to hurt Nana.
Bibi Dong's heart was resolute, but once her gaze landed on Xue Qinghe, her heart became conflicted again.
If they really fought, who on earth should I help?
Just at that moment, Xie Yue's worried voice came over:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we have never interacted with the Young Hall Master. Going over so abruptly, wouldn't it be somewhat inappropriate?"
Hearing this, Yan's excited expression instantly collapsed, and he let out a sigh, his complexion somewhat dejected.
"Since Hall Master Qian Zong mentioned you, he has definitely paid attention to you in private. You needn't worry too much."
As soon as this was said, the three people's eyes lit up once again.
If Qian Zong knew them, then going to pay respects to Qian Zong wouldn't feel quite so abrupt.
Seeing that his scheme had succeeded, Xue Qinghe cupped his fists toward Yan and Xie Yue and said:
"I am Xue Qinghe. I don't yet know the names of you two-might I be informed?"
Xue Qinghe naturally knew the intelligence on both of them, but this was their first meeting, and moreover he had two guards behind him, so he couldn't act too familiar.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am Xie Yue, Martial Soul Moon Blade, 36th-rank Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder."
"I am Yan, Martial Soul Flame Lord, 37th-rank Power Attack System Battle Soul Elder."
Xie Yue and Yan successively cupped their fists in return, introducing themselves.
Having a common topic, Xie Yue and Yan's impression of Xue Qinghe improved quite a bit.
"Meeting is a matter of fate. I am a few years older than you; from now on, you all don't need to call me Your Highness. If you don't mind, just call me Big Brother Qinghe."
"This..."
Xie Yue's face showed difficulty.
Hu Liena hesitated indecisively.
Yan fell into deep thought.
Bibi Dong wore a complex expression, not knowing what medicine Xue Qinghe was selling in his gourd.
If Xue Qinghe could become close, kindred spirits with Hu Liena, that would naturally be extremely good.
Yet what kind of temperament her own child had-could she possibly not understand?
Xue Qinghe was definitely plotting something.
"Dammit..."
Bibi Dong had the heart to act but lacked the strength, and could only watch helplessly.
Qin Lan and Lu Zheng exchanged glances, both catching the sharp glint in each other's eyes.
They knew why the token in Xue Qinghe's hand had come to be; it was definitely not because Qian Zong valued him, but rather because Qian Zong wanted the empire's books.
Xue Qinghe was merely a bridge between Qian Zong and the empire.
Yet just because the two of them knew didn't mean the three of Hu Liena knew.
The Crown Prince's move was played too exquisitely, fully utilizing the information gap between both sides.
The three Soul Masters before them were naturally gifted and had become Soul Elders at a young age, and in the future they would definitely become the pillars of Spirit Hall.
Now, with Qian Zong rising strongly, if Xue Qinghe could build a good relationship with Spirit Hall's future powerhouses in advance, it would be a hundred times beneficial to the empire without a single drawback.
Qin Lan and Lu Zheng smiled at each other and said nothing more, standing quietly behind Xue Qinghe.
This matter had to be reported to Xue Ye.
The Crown Prince possessed great foresight and the qualities of an emperor.
