Xue Xing's Apology Gift, the Dragon Blood Ginseng

Just as Lin Qingchen was about to leave, he bumped into someone unexpected at the academy gate.

"Xue Xing?"

Lin Qingchen spotted him from afar, along with the Xue Beng beside him.

Judging from the way the two people were standing there, they didn't seem to be just passing by; rather, they seemed to be waiting for someone.

Could they be after me?

Lin Qingchen thought to himself.

Strangely enough, he thought Xue Xing would find a chance to retaliate against him, but after two years, the other party remained very quiet and didn't make any moves.

Surprisingly, even the Xue Beng subsided somewhat.

While she was thinking, Xue Xing also saw Lin Qingchen, and then walked over with Xue Beng.

Although he didn't know what this guy was up to, Lin Qingchen still greeted him with a cupped-fist salute.

"Greetings, Prince Xue Xing."

"Haha, no need for such formalities."

Xue Xing chuckled and waved her hand, then said, "I heard you recently broke through to level forty? Truly, heroes emerge from among the young! At your age, I wasn't even Soul Grandmaster yet. It seems the Soul Master World will still belong to young geniuses like you. Compared to you, my nephew is completely spoiled; all he does is fool around all day, sigh..."

Lin Qingchen said expressionlessly, "Prince Xue Xing flatters me. I've only worked a little harder than the average person. I don't know why you've come to see me."

Hearing Lin Qingchen's blunt words, Xue Xing immediately slapped Xue Beng on the head, then said apologetically, "It's all because of my good-for-nothing nephew. He had a conflict with you two years ago, and I originally wanted to take him to apologize, but I was always tied up with official business and couldn't get away until recently."

After saying that, his face turned angry, and he glared at Xue Beng: "Why aren't you apologizing to Lin Qingchen right now?!"

Although Xue Beng was unwilling, he was bound by Xue Xing's orders, so he gritted his teeth, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry, Lin Qingchen. I was momentarily blinded by greed, which led to the conflict with you."

Lin Qingchen:...

He raised an eyebrow, watching the two people in front of him, who were putting on a show of mutual agreement.

Hearing no action from Lin Qingchen, and without any words from Xue Xing, Xue Beng could only remain crouched, not daring to move an inch.

After a long pause, Lin Qingchen smiled.

"It's alright, you didn't affect me at all anyway."

Aside from the money that comes in the wind.

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng stood up, then lowered his head and shrank behind Xue Xing.

Xue Xing ignored him and instead took out a jade box from her Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Lin Qingchen.

"This is a gift I prepared as an apology; I hope you will accept it."

Lin Qingchen didn't refuse and casually accepted the box.

Upon opening it, a ginseng root, entirely blood-red and radiating a bloody aura, came into view.

Lin Qingchen's eyes lit up. It seemed that Xue Xing had put some thought into it and hadn't just given him something random.

This ginseng, known as Dragon Blood Ginseng, is considered a very precious medicinal herb, with the effects of strengthening the body's foundation, nourishing vital energy, and improving blood circulation.

Of course, there is another remarkable effect: treating kidney deficiency.

Therefore, the price of this thing has always remained high. He remembered that one had appeared in the Heaven Dou Auction House before, and he heard that it was sold for a full 800,000 Gold Soul Coin.

It was outrageous, but when Lin Qingchen thought about how it could treat kidney deficiency, he understood.

Sigh, it seems quite common for these aristocrats to suffer from kidney deficiency later in life if they indulge in such extravagant lifestyles at a young age.

A doctor who can cure kidney deficiency is undoubtedly a miracle doctor; nowadays, a single herb that can cure kidney deficiency must also be a miracle drug.

Furthermore, even with Lin Qingchen's current physical strength, the Dragon Blood Ginseng still has some effect.

Seeing that Lin Qingchen accepted the apology, Xue Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

After exchanging a few more words, they said their goodbyes.

Watching Lin Qingchen's retreating figure, Xue Beng finally asked the question that had been weighing on his mind, "Uncle, why are you so concerned about a commoner Soul Master? You even gave him such a precious Dragon Blood Ginseng."

He was utterly perplexed; even geniuses were, in their eyes, nothing special.

Isn't it said that a genius who hasn't reached their full potential isn't a true genius?

"Hey, don't you even understand this much? How can you compete with Xue Qinghe like this?"

Seeing Xue Beng still looking puzzled, Xue Xing said with exasperation, "Even among geniuses, there are different levels, and Lin Qingchen is undoubtedly the strongest. Even if he hasn't fully matured, he's not someone we can easily manipulate. Let me tell you, right now, he's being watched by both your elder brother and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Do you think you can succeed in attacking him? Would you be happy if you completely offended him?"

"Yes... Uncle, I understand..."

Seeing the Xue Beng, Xue Xing secretly made up her mind that she couldn't let him wander around outside this time; she should keep a closer eye on him from now on.

On the other side, in the Eastern Palace of the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"Young Master, Lin Qingchen has already left Heaven Dou City," She Long said respectfully.

"Oh? Didn't he just get back? Why is he out again so soon?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly.

That's right, at this moment she did not maintain Xue Qinghe's disguise, but reverted to her original appearance.

After all, it's not good to always pretend to look like someone else, so she occasionally reverts to her female appearance.

Of course, this only applies to the Eastern Palace.

Having been the Crown Prince for so many years, she had already built the Eastern Palace into an impenetrable fortress, filled with her loyal followers inside and out. Moreover, with two Titled Douluo, Ci Xue and She Long, secretly watching over her, she dared to revert to her original state so brazenly in this palace.

"Young Master, it seems that about half a month ago, Qin Ming led the Imperial Fighting Team out for training. After Lin Qingchen returned from hunting the Fourth Soul Ring, he didn't encounter them, so he decided to go out for training as well." She Long said, combining the information he had obtained before, expressing his guess.

"I see."

Qian Renxue nodded, not taking the matter to heart.

"By the way, young master, before they left, Xue Xing and the others found Lin Qingchen; it seems they went to apologize."

"They've made up... It doesn't matter. It was just a casual move. Even if Lin Qingchen didn't make a move, it wouldn't take me much effort to deal with them."

Qian Renxue never paid any attention to Xue Xing and Xue Beng; at this moment, she was more concerned about Lin Qingchen.

"He's only twelve years old, and he's already broken through level 40, really..."

At this rate, it probably won't take him more than five years to break through to level 60, right?

Looking at myself, I'm already twenty years old, and I'm only at level fifty-eight.

Was my decision to infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Family a mistake?

Qian Renxue couldn't help but think.
