After exchanging pleasantries, the three took their seats as host and guest. Qi Ling also noticed that the woman standing behind Xue Qinghe had left the room, clearly not wanting to disturb their conversation.
Despite being the crown prince, Xue Qinghe adopted a very humble posture. After personally pouring tea for Ning Fengzhi and Qi Ling, he sat down with a smile and began to explain the purpose of his visit.
In summary, Xue Qinghe's purpose in bringing Qi Ling here today is similar to that of Xue Ye —to win Qi Ling over. Moreover, Xue Qinghe's elegant speech and extraordinary words make him even more likable.
While they were talking, Ning Fengzhi occasionally chimed in, but his words did not show much favoritism towards Xue Qinghe, because he knew that Qi Ling was not someone who could be changed by others, and that he had his own judgment.
As for Qi Ling, he had been preoccupied with something ever since Xue Qinghe started speaking, so much so that he didn't even hear what Xue Qinghe was saying.
In Qi Ling's memory, Qian Renxue impersonated Xue Qinghe by using the special ability of a Soul Bone to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe.
However, now that Qi Ling has activated the effect of her Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils of Truth, she is completely unable to see through Xue Qinghe's disguise!
It's important to know that Qi Ling's Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils are far superior to Tang San's Purple Demon Eye. Even Soul Bone Skill are no match for him. In terms of breaking through barriers and dispelling illusions, he is undoubtedly the best in the world.
Now that Xue Qinghe has no flaws whatsoever, there are only three possibilities: First, Xue Qinghe has reached the God Level, which is why he was able to deceive Qi Ling, because the power of God Level is indeed enough to deceive everyone.
Secondly, Xue Qinghe possessed even more powerful disguise tools, such as Qi Ling's Divine Head and Ghost Face, which was enough to deceive Qi Ling's Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.
Thirdly, the Xue Qinghe in front of us is not someone impersonating him, but is himself all along!
Qi Ling couldn't deduce which of these three possibilities it was, so she could only wait and see what Xue Qinghe was planning.
After their conversation, Qi Ling developed a rather favorable impression of Xue Qinghe. He was not only very talkative but also knowledgeable, and his demeanor exuded a calm and magnanimous air, making one marvel at his status as a descendant of an emperor.
"Brother Qi Ling, since it's getting late, why don't we have lunch together before you go?" Xue Qinghe suggested.
Qi Ling shook her head and said, "No, how could I possibly disturb His Highness the Crown Prince like this? I'd better go back to the academy."
"In that case, I won't let you stay. If you have this plaque, if anything happens in the future, you can come to the palace with it to find me." Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and took out a gold medal with the word "" engraved on it.
After receiving the gold medal, Qi Ling did something that surprised both of them immensely—he put the medal in his mouth and bit it. "Is it pure gold?"
Ning Fengzhi was immediately stunned. This was a gold medal personally bestowed by the Crown Prince. Even if you don't want to give him face, you can't go this far!
Xue Qinghe, on the other hand, laughed and said, "Hahaha, Brother Qi Ling is indeed interesting. Don't worry, this gold medal is made of gold. It should be able to fetch a good amount of money at a pawnshop."
Qi Ling felt a little embarrassed after Xue Qinghe said that. He didn't really care about the gold; it was just a subconscious action.
"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony. As the saying goes, it's only polite to reciprocate. Since Your Highness has given me such a valuable gift, I'll give you a little trinket in return." Qi Ling said, taking out a piece of purple jade from her person.
"This is one of my collection items. Although it is not precious, it is still a unique piece. Please accept it, Your Highness."
Xue Qinghe accepted the gift with a smile, saying, " Brother Qi is indeed an interesting person. This is the first time I've received a return gift like this."
Afterwards, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi escorted Qi Ling to the entrance of the teahouse. After Qi Ling left, the two returned to their private booth. After a brief conversation, Ning Fengzhi also leisurely departed.
Once Xue Qinghe was the only one left in the private room, the warm and gentle expression on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and gloomy one.
He then raised his hand, looked at the purple stone in it, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and with a sudden burst of force, crushed the stone into powder.
" Qi Ling? Qi Ling? Hmph!" After a cold snort, Xue Qinghe also left the private room, with the aloof beauty following closely behind him.
After leaving the teahouse, Qi Ling did not return to the Heaven Dou Academy, but instead went back to the Shrek Academy. As he walked into the woods behind the academy, he saw Grandmaster, Tang San, and Ning Rongrong discussing cultivation.
If Qi Ling wasn't mistaken, what they were currently researching was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's method of Heart Separation Control. For the people of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only by mastering this skill could they truly be considered capable of standing on their own.
In Qi Ling's view, the so-called Heart Separation Control is a cultivation method similar to drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right. Unlike the focus pursued by other Soul Master, Support System Soul Master must precisely control their Soul Power, and this Heart Separation Control method is indispensable.
However, it is clear that such an important technique is not easy to cultivate. Ning Rongrong has only managed to cultivate it to the Three Uses of Heart Separation, and she is not even proficient in it yet. On the contrary, Tang San, because of his pure mind, has made surprisingly fast progress in learning, which is astonishing.
"Damn it, is my talent really that bad?" Ning Rongrong said dejectedly.
"Your talent is undeniable, it's just that your mind isn't pure," Qi Ling said as she walked in. "If you could be as free of distractions as Xiao San, mastering this technique wouldn't be difficult at all."
Ning Rongrong pouted and said, "Hmph, why do you say the same thing as my dad? He's working very hard too, okay?"
"Yes, you've tried very hard, but not enough," Qi Ling said. "To do even better, you need to keep working hard."
"Okay, okay," Ning Rongrong said. "I'll show you that I'm not someone to be trifled with! I'll definitely master the Distraction Technique and show you!"
Qi Ling smiled slightly, then looked at Tang San beside her. The Blue Silver Grass he was controlling was already showing some different signs, and she believed that he would soon discover the truth about his Martial Soul.
At this moment, in Tang San's hands, the three Blue Silver Grass were simultaneously activated and stretched out in three different directions. This was clearly the effect of Heart Separation Control. With this technique, Tang San's control would be more subtle, allowing him to launch more effective attacks.
Qi Ling was also very happy about this, after all, as her younger brother, Tang San becoming stronger was Qi Ling's greatest hope.
