Looking at Ju Zi's extremely beautiful face and exceptionally intelligent mind, Xu Tianran was anxious! If he were healthy, he would definitely take Ju Zi as his crown princess. Such a smart woman would surely be able to give him an extremely intelligent child.
But he was assassinated by his own brother. Although he later killed all his brothers, he was maimed. Now, even if he could do whatever he wanted with the Ju Zi, he could only watch, without any reaction from below.
Moreover, as time went on, Xu Tianran's condition began to affect his character, making him more suspicious and cruel.
" Ju Zi, do you think Shrek Academy has such a powerful Soul Master who can regenerate a severed arm and restore my manhood?" Xu Tianran asked somewhat frantically.
Ju Zi was startled. The world only knew that Xu Tianran's leg had been poisoned and he could no longer stand up, but only four people knew that Xu Tianran's leg had also been severed in two by an assassin and that he was still alive. One was her, Ju Zi; one was the attendant who served Xu Tianran; one was his personal doctor; and the last was his bodyguard Shadow Douluo Xue Chen.
For a moment Ju Zi didn't know how to answer Xu Tianran, so she could only vaguely say, "Your Highness, Shrek Academy has a history of ten thousand years and a powerful foundation. I've heard that there were even cases of the dead coming back to life ten thousand years ago."
"Exactly, exactly." Although Ju Zi's words were vague, they greatly encouraged Xu Tianran. " Ju Zi, go and deliver my reply to Dean Jing Hongchen. Then go find Meng Hongchen and inquire about her situation."
"Yes," Ju Zi replied.
After Xu Tianran reviewed the visiting card, he handed it to Ju Zi and instructed her again, "Go quickly and come back quickly."
Soon, Ju Zi arrived at Jing Hongchen's residence. After being announced, Ju Zi was brought before Jing Hongchen.
"Dean," Ju Zi greeted Jing Hongchen, then quickly handed over Xu Tianran's reply.
Jing Hongchen glanced at it and said calmly, "Yes, I understand."
"Dean, may I ask where Miss Meng Hongchen went?" Ju Zi asked directly.
Although Jing Hongchen disliked that Ju Zi had rushed to join Xu Tianran before even graduating, he wouldn't give Ju Zi a hard time. He said, "After returning, Meng went to Teacher Feng Luan's place."
"Thank you, Dean. I'll go talk to Meng Hongchen."
"Go ahead, I'm also going to see His Highness the Crown Prince." Jing Hongchen didn't try to dissuade him. She was going to tell Xu Tianran about her trip to the Shrek Academy today anyway. Jing Hongchen straightened her collar, turned and left the room, heading towards the Crown Prince's residence.
Soon, Jing Hongchen arrived at the Crown Prince's residence and was led by a servant to Crown Prince Xu Tianran's study. Upon entering Xu Tianran Xu Tianran's study and seeing him seated in the main seat, Jing Hongchen Xu Tianran and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Xu Tianran hurriedly said, "Dean Hongchen, you're too kind. Please have a seat."
Jing Hongchen sat down only after receiving Xu Tianran's order.
"Dean Hongchen has come to see me today. May I ask what brings you here?" Xu Tianran asked after Jing Hongchen sat down.
"Hehe, I suppose His Highness the Crown Prince has already guessed why I visited him today? Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Ju Zi to ask about my granddaughter," Jing Hongchen said very directly.
Xu Tianran looked embarrassed, but still smiled and said, "Please, Dean Hongchen, explain in detail."
"Yes, my granddaughter Meng Hongchen's illness has indeed been completely cured," Jing Hongchen said calmly.
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Xu Tianran was instantly taken aback. He hadn't expected Shrek Academy to possess such miraculous methods, curing Meng Hongchen, who had been beyond the help of numerous healing Soul Master and seemed terminally ill every day.
Then Jing Hongchen recounted everything that had happened at the Shrek Academy to Xu Tianran. Xu Tianran listened with a mixture of excitement and disappointment.
The exciting thing is that there's a purification-type Soul Skill that can clear impurities from the body. This might cure the poison in my leg, and there's a good chance I'll be able to stand up again, walk, and jump.
Disappointingly, this Soul Skill turned out to be a purification Soul Skill, not a healing Soul Skill. How could the severed part of my soul skill possibly grow back?
Although Xu Tianran was torn between his inner thoughts and his outward appearance, he maintained a kind smile towards Jing Hongchen.
After recounting her experiences at the Shrek Academy, Jing Hongchen said, "Your Highness, I have invited Dean Qian Chen of the Shrek Academy to the Sun Moon Empire under the guise of an academic exchange between the two academies. We need Illustrious Virtue Hall to send a retainer to the Shrek Academy. I would appreciate Your Highness's coordination."
"That's fine. Thank you, Dean Hongchen. If I rise again and ascend the throne, I will never forget the great contributions of the Hongchen Family."
Jing Hongchen reminded him, "Your Highness, you have always advocated a tough stance towards the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Plains. You'll have to find a way to get Qian Chen to purify the toxins in your body. Farewell."
"Very well, thank you, Dean Hongchen. I am unwell, so I will not see you off."
After Jing Hongchen left, Xu Tianran sat alone in the study, pondering Jing Hongchen words. He thought about how he couldn't fully recover and become a man again; although disappointed, it was good that he could stand up again.
Soon, Ju Zi returned from Meng Hongchen's place. However, there was a noticeable hint of joy on Ju Zi's face.
" Ju Zi, did you get any information from Meng Hongchen? You seem quite happy!" Xu Tianran asked immediately.
Only then did Ju Zi realize that she hadn't quite controlled her expression. It turned out that Ju Zi had heard that the one who cured Meng Hongchen was actually Qian Chen from the Shrek Academy, and that Qian Chen was going to teach at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, which made her very excited.
There is only one reason: during the Soul Master Tournament held a few months ago, Qian Chen killed more than seventy White Tiger Guards by himself, seriously injured White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, and one of Dai Hao's sons was crippled and the other went missing.
This message, secretly instructed by Emperor Xu Jiawei of Star Luo Emperor, spread widely and had already reached the Sun Moon Empire. As for White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, he was Ju Zi's father's killer, and Qian Chen was practically Ju Zi's hero.
When Ju Zi heard Xu Tianran ask her this, she immediately replied, "Your Highness, yes, I am very happy. Because I learned from Meng Hongchen that it was Dean Qian Chen of the Shrek Academy who treated her. Dean Qian Chen has a purification Soul Skill that may be able to remove the toxins from your legs and allow you to stand up again. I am happy for Your Highness."
Xu Tianran's expression softened upon hearing Ju Zi's explanation. He said, " Ju Zi, Dean Jing Hongchen reminded me today. Although Qian Chen will be coming to our Sun Moon Empire as an exchange teacher, I've always maintained a firm stance against the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Plains. He might not be willing to give me the antidote."
"Your Highness, don't worry. Everyone has flaws and hobbies. Some people like money, some like beauty, and some like status. As long as we figure out Qian Chen's preferences and cater to them, it shouldn't be difficult for him to just use a Soul Skill to heal Your Highness," Ju Zi reassured her.
"Yes, very good, that's what I was thinking too. Ju Zi, Qian Chen will be attending classes at your Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy next month, so you should get to know him and see what his preferences are," Xu Tianran instructed.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will certainly handle this matter well."
