Then he looked at the sky, and then at the reunited family of three, and said to Oscar with a smile:
"Xiao Ao, now that I've picked up my uncle and aunt, I'll be returning to the palace. You should take your uncle and aunt back home to rest and spend some time with them. I'll come back to see you in a few days."
Oscar also knew that Xue Tianxing wanted to give his family some time to spend together, so he nodded quickly:
"Okay! Tianxing, I'll take my parents back home first. I'll come to the palace to find you another day!"
Xue Tianxing smiled and waved his hand, watching Oscar holding his parents' arms, excitedly pointing out the buildings on the roadside as they walked. The figures of the family of three gradually merged into the flow of people at the city gate. He turned around and walked towards the palace with his entourage.
After returning to the palace, Xue Tianxing went straight back to his own palace. As soon as he sat down, he fell into deep thought - Oscar had been successfully recruited, and the most important thing next was to get the magic herb of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
There are many treasures hidden in that fairy grass garden. Whether it is the strange-looking chrysanthemum that improves soul power or the eight-angled black ice grass that tempers the body, they are all crucial to the growth of him and Oscar and must not be missed.
But the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were in the hands of Dugu Bo. That old poisonous creature had a bad temper and was extremely protective of his people. It would be no easy task to take the magic herb from under his nose. He himself might not even be able to get close to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.
Xue Tianxing paced back and forth in the hall, repeatedly thinking about a breakthrough, and finally his eyes fell on the file on the table - it recorded the information of the major families of the Tiandou Empire, including the name of Dugu Bo's granddaughter Dugu Yan.
"I got it. We still have to start with Dugu Yan!"
Xue Tianxing clearly remembered that in the original novel, Dugu Yan was about six years younger than Tang San. And when Tang San was fourteen and participated in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Competition, Dugu Yan was about twenty. Now that he was seven, Dugu Yan was only thirteen or fourteen, the right age to have just joined the Heaven Dou Royal Spirit Master Academy.
If we can go to the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy and find a way to lure Dugu Yan to the Barak Kingdom, wouldn't it be a natural process to get in touch with Dugu Bo?
The more Xue Tianxing thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible:
Firstly, he did not need to go deep into the outskirts of Tiandou City, but only needed to move around near the academy outside the city; secondly, he was the prince of the Barak Kingdom. Although Barak and Tiandou were nominally of the same lineage, they actually had their own thoughts. However, as they were "one family", the Tiandou royal family would not attack him openly, so his safety was guaranteed.
Xue Tianxing even thought about the details - he would take Oscar with him when the time comes. If he couldn't win over Dugu Yan, he would let Oscar go!
Today's Oscar is no longer the country boy in coarse clothes in the original book. After changing into fancy clothes, he has a handsome face and looks like a handsome young man. It may not be impossible to use the "beauty trap" to win him over.
What's more, Oscar is a rare food-related genius who is expected to become a Titled Douluo of the Auxiliary Department in the future. Someone who values strength as much as Dugu Bo may not mind having such a grandson-in-law.
It can also directly prevent Oscar from becoming a bootlicker, killing two birds with one stone.
Having made up his mind, Xue Tianxing began to wait for the opportunity.
This wait lasted for half a month - he first found an opportunity to tell Oscar about going to the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy. Oscar always obeyed Xue Tianxing's words, and he also wanted to go out and see the world, so he agreed immediately.
After Oscar's decision was finalized, Xue Tianxing went to Xuezhe's study with the words he had already prepared.
"Father, I want to go to the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy."
Xue Tianxing stood in front of Xuezhe, pretending to be curious, and continued:
"I heard that it's the best spirit master academy in the Heaven Dou Empire. I want to go there and see their teaching methods, and also communicate with the students there to broaden my horizons."
Xuezhe was reviewing the memorials. He paused when he heard this, looked up at Xue Tianxing, and frowned instantly:
"Going to the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy? No way!"
Xuezhe refused without a second thought, his tone firm:
"You're Barak's crown prince, the kingdom's future. What kind of place is Tiandou City? Xue Ye, that old fox, is cunning. What if he has evil intentions towards you? It's better to be safe than sorry. We can't take this risk!"
Xue Tianxing had anticipated his objection, so he quickly stepped forward, pulling Xuezhe's arm and trying to persuade him:
"Father, I'll just go take a look. I won't be going into the city. I'll just stay at the academy for a few days and come back. Grandpa Liu will be with me. With him protecting me, I'll be fine! Besides, I'm going to visit the Spirit Master Academy in Tiandou to make plans for our future Barak Academy!"
But no matter what he said, Xuezhe refused to give in, his expression becoming even darker than before:
"No, that's it! If you want to learn about the Soul Master Academy, we have one in Barak, so why go to Tiandou? This is non-negotiable!"
Xue Tianxing saw that his persuasion was useless, and he knew in his heart that he had no reason to go to Tiandou.
You can't tell my father that he was looking for Dugu Yan and then went to Dugu Bo's Yin-Yang Eyes to get the magic grass, right?
If he said this, it would be strange if Xuezhe didn't think he was crazy.
There was no other way, Xue Tianxing could only pretend to be lost, lowering his head and sighing:
"Okay, Father, I understand. I won't go."
Seeing him compromise, Xuezhe's expression softened a bit and he rubbed his head:
"That's right. When you grow up and your soul power grows stronger, you can go wherever you want in the future. For now, just focus on training in the palace."
"Um."
Xue Tianxing responded obediently, turned around and left the study.
But as soon as he walked out of the study, the disappointment in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth - his father didn't let him go, so couldn't he go by himself?
My legs are on my own body. As long as I plan carefully, sneak out and come back with the magic grass, what else can my father say?
Xue Tianxing walked towards his palace while thinking about it in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Xue Tianxing's steps became lighter - he was determined to get the magic herb of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire!
Then, as the night deepened, the lights in Barak gradually went out, and only the patrolling guards of the palace were still walking back and forth with lanterns.
Xue Tianxing stayed in his palace, listening to the patrolling footsteps outside gradually fading away, then he quietly opened the window.
He quickly completed the possession of the Ice Phoenix Martial Spirit, and the ice-blue wings behind him gently spread out, making almost no sound.
He tapped his feet on the windowsill and floated out like a feather. Under the cover of night, he cleverly avoided the sight of the patrolling guards and flew towards the outer wall of the palace.
After flying out of the palace, Xue Tianxing went straight to Oscar's residence.
At this time, Oscar had already packed his simple luggage according to the information Xue Tianxing had secretly conveyed to him, and was sitting in the room waiting anxiously.
