Chapter 98: Xue Qinghe Extends Another Invitation, Qin Xiao Leads Ning Fengzhi into the Water Again
Chapter 98: Xue Qinghe Extends Another Invitation, Qin Xiao Leads Ning Fengzhi into the Water Again
The morning sun rises.
The dawn seeped through the window and fell onto Qin Xiao's face.
He slowly opened his eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing was curled up like a kitten, nestled in his arms.
At this moment, her jet-black hair scattered messily over her body, her perfect figure fully displayed before Qin Xiao.
However, the only flaw was the dark red or deep purple bruises.
From this, one could see how wild and crazy last night was.
Seven times, eight times, or ten times?
Qin Xiao couldn't remember.
He fell into a deep sleep only after exhausting himself.
He had thought about stopping, but he couldn't control himself.
"Zhuqing, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Qin Xiao looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes.
He gently kissed her forehead and covered the girl with a light silk quilt before getting out of bed.
After a simple wash, he quietly left the room.
Afraid of disturbing Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful dream.
"Your Highness."
Outside the door, Meng Yiran had obviously been waiting for a long time.
No.
More precisely, she hadn't left since yesterday.
What if she had left and something happened to His Highness's good deed?
That would be a huge sin.
"You didn't sleep all night?"
Seeing the big dark circles under the girl's eyes, Qin Xiao faintly guessed what was going on.
"Yes."
Meng Yiran answered without hesitation.
In fact, even if she wanted to sleep, she couldn't.
That continuous sound, which innocent girl could listen to without being stirred?
"Your Highness, here is another letter. Dean Liu Erlong sent it early this morning."
At this moment, Meng Yiran handed a sealed letter to Qin Xiao.
"Hmm? Who else would send me a letter?"
Qin Xiao's face showed a look of doubt, but when he saw the signature on the letter, he froze.
Just because of the three words "Haotian Sect"!
"Haotian Sect's letter? Let's see what trouble they want to stir up again."
Qin Xiao said lightly, taking out the letter and reading its contents.
Meng Yiran cautiously glanced at Qin Xiao and noticed his expression gradually becoming serious.
But soon, Qin Xiao laughed again, "Haha, the Haotian Sect is indeed interesting. Do they want to provoke a conflict with me?"
"What?" Meng Yiran's face suddenly showed a look of shock. "Your Highness, does that mean they are insisting you hand over the third elder of the Haotian Sect?"
"Do they dare?" There was no concealment of Qin Xiao's disdain for the people of the Haotian Sect in his voice.
"They mentioned in the letter that they want to have a negotiation with me. As long as I release Third elder Tang, they are willing to pay any price. The time is noon today, and the place is outside Tian Dou City."
"Your Highness, what do you intend to do?"
"Of course, I'll go to the appointment."
Hearing this, Meng Yiran's pupils contracted. "Your Highness, I still don't think this is a good idea. I'm afraid they are prepared."
"I know that."
Qin Xiao nodded. "It seems they are determined to go all out. Even if they have to abandon Tang San, they want to put me in a difficult situation."
"Then, are you still going to the appointment?"
"Of course, I have to go to the appointment. If I don't, how can I catch them all in one fell swoop?"
Before Meng Yiran could ask, Qin Xiao continued, "Originally, I wanted them to deal with Tang Hao, 'let the dogs bite each other'. Then I could take advantage of the situation. But now it seems I overestimated these people.
Since they are of no value anymore, they naturally cannot be allowed to continue causing trouble. Moreover, haven't you always wanted to destroy the Haotian Sect?"
"Yes." After listening to Qin Xiao's words, Meng Yiran's expression showed a hint of trance.
But soon, it turned into deep concern. "But I still don't want anything to happen to you."
"Ah," Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, took two steps forward, and gently rubbed the girl's head, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Besides, I won't put myself in danger, I can also find some helpers."
"Really?" Meng Yiran's eyes lit up.
Qin Xiao nodded, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been eyeing the Haotian Sect for a long time. I will go find Ning Fengzhi."
"But I heard that Ning Fengzhi..."
"Sly as a fox, right?" Qin Xiao saw through Meng Yiran's thoughts, then shook his head, "Don't worry, in the end, Ning Fengzhi is still a businessman. I will only talk business with him, not emotions."
"You're worrying too much."
Meng Yiran, after hearing Qin Xiao's words, finally felt completely relieved.
At the same time, she couldn't help but curse herself for being meddlesome.
With His Highness's intelligence, how could he not see through the essence of things?
"Alright, go rest."
Qin Xiao gently patted the girl's cheek with his hand and walked towards the gate of Shrek Academy.
"Your Highness, I'll be waiting for your triumphant return."
Meng Yiran called out softly behind Qin Xiao.
After a long while.
As Qin Xiao was about to leave Shrek Academy, Liu Erlong came to him.
"Your Highness, please wait."
"What's the matter?"
Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised.
"Just now, I received another letter, and I was just about to bring it to you."
Liu Erlong didn't waste any time, and handed a letter to Qin Xiao.
"What's going on today? So many people sending me letters?"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but mutter, but this time, the signature on the letter wasn't from the Haotian Sect, but from Xue Qinghe? What does he want with me?
With such doubts, Qin Xiao opened the letter in front of Liu Erlong.
The result surprised him.
In simple terms, Xue Qinghe wanted to invite Qin Xiao to a dinner party and discuss important matters.
Could it be that, like the Haotian Sect, they want to eliminate me too?
Qin Xiao couldn't help but think so at first.
But then, upon further thought, he found it unlikely.
"He should be aware that the power of the Tian Dou Empire is simply not enough to eliminate me. If the experts from the Martial Soul Hall take action, won't that expose their identities? Instead of going through all this trouble, it's better for them to have the experts from the Martial Soul Hall deal with me directly."
After weighing his thoughts, Qin Xiao roughly concluded that Xue Qinghe probably wouldn't be foolish enough to act against him.
Of course, despite his speculation, his vigilance remained undiminished.
"Enemies will always appear when one is ready. Let's resolve the issues with the Haotian Sect first, and then see what tricks Xue Qinghe wants to play."
Qin Xiao thought to himself and then casually shook the letter, turning it into ashes.
Then he looked at the stunned Liu Erlong and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Dean Liu? Is there anything else you want to say?"
"Ah..."
"Yes, there is."
After Qin Xiao's reminder, Liu Erlong finally came back to her senses, looking somewhat embarrassed as she asked, "Your Highness, do you still remember what I told you before?"
He wants me to help that useless Yu Xiaogang?
Qin Xiao instantly understood Liu Erlong's thoughts and couldn't help but show a playful smile, "Dean Liu, I've told you about this matter before. Whether I take action or not, it's up to you, not me."
"Ah, um..."
Stumped for words, Liu Erlong's lips parted lightly. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Then, she stared blankly at Qin Xiao's figure as he walked away, gradually disappearing into the distance.
Her heart was full of hesitation, "Xiaogang, let's wait for you to come and make a decision about this matter."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was only a hundred miles away from Tian Dou City.
For Qin Xiao, this distance was nothing.
However, out of respect for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Qin Xiao chose not to fly directly into it, but to land at the foot of the mountain and walk up.
"Stop right there!"
At the mountain gate, there were seven or eight disciples guarding it. When they saw Qin Xiao, they immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Then, a thin disciple, after sizing up Qin Xiao, said very politely, "Hello, judging by your appearance, you must want to join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right? You've come at the wrong time. The last day of each month is when we have people specifically test those who want to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had seen many people like Qin Xiao before.
Most of them came to join the sect.
Hehe, it's no wonder it's led by Ning Fengzhi. Even the disciples of the sect have a demeanor of making money.
Qin Xiao chuckled inwardly, "You've misunderstood. I'm not here to join or join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I'm here to find someone."
Find someone?
The thin disciple frowned, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is so big, it's not easy to find someone. First, tell me his name, identity, and which department he belongs to, and we can try to help you pass on the message."
"It shouldn't be that complicated."
Qin Xiao shook his head slightly. "I want to see Master Ning from your esteemed sect. Just say that Qin Xiao, an old friend, has come to visit, and please relay the message."
With that, he clasped his hands together.
However, the many disciples at the gate remained silent.
But judging from the expressions on their faces, they simply didn't believe him at all.
Ning Fengzhi, who he is, how old he is, and how profound his qualifications are, could he possibly be an old friend with such a young man?
Even if they tried to imagine it, they found it impossible.
"You, brother, you've gone too far. We've always treated you with courtesy. Why deceive us like this?"
"This kind of joke isn't funny at all."
At this moment, the thin disciple frowned and said, "Brother, you're joking with me, aren't you?"
"Huh?"
"I'm not joking."
Qin Xiao was taken aback, but quickly understood what everyone was thinking.
It made sense. He looked like a greenhorn, not a disciple of a major sect. Who would believe that he knew Ning Fengzhi?
However, the truth was indeed so absurd.
He couldn't help but shake his head. Forget it, I'll just call Ning Fengzhi out myself.
With that in mind, he spoke in a deep voice, "Qin Xiao is visiting. I request an audience with Master Ning!"
Qin Xiao is visiting, I request an audience with Master Ning!
His voice carried a powerful soul force, reaching far and wide throughout the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Enough to make the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hear it clearly.
"At the gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, how dare you make such a commotion!"
"You, young man, you've gone too far!"
At this moment, the disciples at the gate also realized what was happening and showed expressions of shock and anger on their faces.
Even bursts of powerful soul force erupted, and soul rings appeared under their feet one by one.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but laugh and admire, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed wealthy and powerful. Even the disciples guarding the gate are Soul Masters?"
He wasn't being sarcastic.
After all, Soul Masters in various empires and kingdoms could obtain noble titles.
Here, they were just gatekeepers.
This confirmed the saying, "Money can make the devil turn the grindstone."
"However, you should all calm down."
As Qin Xiao's voice fell, a breath that could crush the entire scene erupted.
The many disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in front of the mountain gate were like they were stuck in the mud, unable to move.
On the other side.
In the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi was seated at the main seat.
The Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo sat on the left and right sides respectively.
Sword Douluo frowned and asked, "Master, where do you think that brat Qin Xiao has gone? It's been over a month since he disappeared."
"Yeah, Qin Xiao left, and after Rongrong returned from the academy, she hasn't said a word. She just locks herself in her room and doesn't eat or drink. She's become so thin."
Bone Douluo said with a pained expression, "Master, you have to think of a way."
Listening to Bone Douluo's words, Ning Fengzhi also looked helpless, "Uncle Bone, you also know that I've sent people to investigate Qin Xiao's whereabouts before, but it's like he evaporated from the earth."
"I'm temporarily powerless in this matter. But when Qin Xiao left, he said he would come back. Let's just wait patiently for him."
However.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice echoed in the main hall of the sect.
Qin Xiao is visiting, I request an audience with Master Ning!
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all stunned.
Soon, Ning Fengzhi smiled again, "Haha, Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, look, isn't he here?"
"Let's go, let's go and welcome him in now, don't let the guest wait impatiently."
With that, he led the way out of the main hall.
With the help of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, it didn't take long for Ning Fengzhi to arrive at the mountain gate.
The three of them saw Qin Xiao and the many hostile disciples outside the gate at a glance.
"I wonder why Brother Qin is here from afar, please forgive us for not welcoming you from afar."
Ning Fengzhi clasped his hands towards Qin Xiao from afar, looking apologetic.
Bone Douluo snorted, "What are you doing? This is a distinguished guest of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Hurry up and put away your soul power!"
"What?"
"Is this young man really an old friend of the Master's?"
"How old is he? How could he receive such attention from the Master and the elders?"
In fact, the disciples at the gate were shocked when Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo arrived.
They couldn't imagine that the young man, who looked younger than them, was actually telling the truth!
"Huh, what are you all standing around for?"
At this moment, Bone Douluo snorted again.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
These disciples of the sect quickly put away their soul power and soul rings.
They were afraid of offending Qin Xiao for even a second.
After doing all this, they bowed their heads, afraid to look at Qin Xiao.
"Master Ning, you're being too polite."
Qin Xiao clasped his hands and said, "I'm here with no other intention than to discuss important matters."
He got straight to the point.
On the other hand, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all stunned.
Important matters?
Cough.
