Upon hearing this question, Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "His Highness the Crown Prince has expressed this idea and has hinted at it, but I haven't explicitly stated it."
"Because I know in my heart that everything I have today is a gift from you, Master. Without you, I would just be an ordinary person without Martial Soul, a petty thief who only knows how to steal on the street, with no future whatsoever."
"It was because I met you that I was able to change my destiny, cultivate Martial Dao, and gain the qualifications to stand shoulder to shoulder with Soul Master."
"Compared to the kindness you have shown me, Master, the Crown Prince's mere attempts to win me over are utterly insignificant. From beginning to end, I will only obey one person, and that is you, Master!"
After hearing this, Yu Tianheng smiled and patted Mu Qing's shoulder heavily, "Very good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You are worthy of my trust."
"As long as you focus on your work from now on, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Cultivate diligently and strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible."
"Yes." Mu Qing nodded emphatically.
After instructing Mu Qing on a few matters, Yu Tianheng rose and left the palace.
Judging by the time, Tang San is probably already twelve years old. If the original plot were to continue, he would leave Nuoding Academy with Xiao Wu and then go to the Shrek Academy to study.
However, after arriving in this world, I changed the fate of many important people. Therefore, Shrek Academy no longer exists, at least not now.
In this way, Tang San would most likely join a high-level Soul Master Academy through the normal admission process and then gradually cultivate.
However, it cannot be ruled out that Tang Hao might intervene and personally instruct the students.
We still need to send someone to investigate the specifics.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianheng immediately instructed Song Guan to send someone to the Nuoding Academy to investigate.
Speaking of Song Guan, he has successfully graduated from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and reached level 40. After returning to his family, he became an official of the Heaven Dou Empire under the family's arrangement and began to develop steadily.
Although Song Guan has left the academy, he and Yu Tianheng still maintain close contact, so asking him for this little favor is nothing.
Some time later, the person sent by Song Guan brought news that the student Tang San from the Nuoding Academy had dropped out a long time ago, supposedly taken away by his father, and then went to the Star Luo Empire. What happened to him after that was unknown.
Upon learning this news, Yu Tianheng's expression turned solemn, but he didn't dwell on it. In any case, Tang San was now protected by Tang Hao, so it was impossible to kill him in advance unless Tang Hao was killed. However, Tang Hao's strength was too great. As it stands, the opponent is at least level 96. If a real fight broke out, even a level 97 Titled Douluo might not be able to defeat him.
Since things have already gone beyond the original plot, let them be. We'll run into them again sooner or later anyway.
At the foot of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan mountain, an old man dressed in a dark green robe walked briskly up the stone steps.
This person was none other than Dugu Bo.
A quarter of an hour later, Dugu Bo arrived at the gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His Soul Power surged forth, instantly alerting the clan members on patrol.
"Go and report," the hoarse voice carried an undeniable air of authority, instantly putting the family members guarding the gate on high alert.
"I am Dugu Bo, and I have come to see your sect leader Yu Yuanzhen," Dugu Bo said.
The lead guard suppressed his shock and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Senior, what brings you here? Our sect leader is currently in seclusion and is unable to receive guests."
Dugu Bo was not annoyed by this and continued, "Then let the person in charge come out and say that I have come here to discuss the marriage between your young clan leader Yu Tianheng and my granddaughter Dugu Yan."
Upon hearing this, the guard suddenly realized that it was the woman's family who had come to discuss the marriage.
It concerns the young clan leader.
This is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly.
The visitor immediately welcomed Dugu Bo inside and then sent someone to inform the acting clan leader Yu Xiaolong.
Upon learning of Dugu Bo's arrival, Yu Xiaolong immediately set aside his work and ran to greet him.
Inside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reception hall, Dugu Bo sat to the left of the head of the table. A cup of tea was already placed on the table beside him. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and waited for the guests to arrive.
A moment later, Yu Xiaolong finally arrived.
" Senior Dugu's presence is an honor to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Yu Xiaolong's voice was deep and respectful. "May I ask what brings you here today, Senior?"
Dugu Bo looked up at Yu Xiaolong and asked, "So you are Yu Tianheng's father, Yu Yuanzhen's eldest son?"
Yu Xiaolong nodded. "Indeed, this junior Yu Xiaolong."
"Judging from your current cultivation level, you're just Soul Saint. To be honest, in terms of cultivation talent, you're far inferior to that kid Yu Tianheng. He's already Five-Ring Soul King. If this continues, he'll surpass you in just a few years," Dugu Bo said.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolong was startled. "Senior, do you mean Yu Tianheng has broken through to level 50?"
"Indeed," Dugu Bo said. "Just recently, with my assistance, he successfully hunted down a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, absorbed its Soul Ring, and officially entered the realm of Five-Ring Soul King."
"That's truly a cause for celebration!" Yu Xiaolong smiled, then bowed to Dugu Bo, saying, "Of course, this is also thanks to your meticulous guidance, senior. Without it, Tian Heng wouldn't have been able to progress so rapidly. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is deeply grateful!"
As Dugu Bo sat down, he snorted coldly, "Stop with the pleasantries. I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I've come today to discuss the marriage of my granddaughter Dugu Yan, and your son, Yu Tianheng."
He spoke directly, raising an eyebrow, "Our two families have no connection, but we've heard of each other. My daughter Yanyan may not be as talented as your son, but she's still a rare cultivation genius. She's already reached the Four-Ring and is the granddaughter of Titled Douluo. Isn't she a good match for your precious son?"
Yu Xiaolong tapped the armrest with his fingertips. "Senior is right. Since the younger generation is in love, we elders will support them. So let's settle this matter. After a while, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will prepare generous gifts and personally go to propose marriage."
Dugu Bo stared at Yu Xiaolong for a long time, then suddenly picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "Alright! It's settled then. However, there are some things I must explain in advance. Yanyan has been spoiled since childhood and has a fiery temper, but she is clear-headed when it comes to important matters. As for minor matters, she should try her best to be tolerant and take responsibility. If Tian Heng dares to bully her after Yanyan marries into the family, this old man will not be lenient. Even if Yu Yuanzhen protects her, I will make your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan taste the power of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolong quickly assured him, "No, please rest assured, Senior. Now that Miss Dugu Yan has married into our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she is one of us. I will definitely treat her as my own daughter and will never let her suffer any injustice."
