As soon as this news surfaced, the message that the Heaven Dou princess would soon enroll in Skywater Academy, accompanied by the Crown Prince, spread at an extremely fast speed, and before long, it became known to everyone.
At this moment, Qian Renxue, accompanying Xue Ke, had already boarded the carriage heading to Element City. They had already left the bounds of the imperial capital and were hurrying toward Element City under the escort of a squad of several hundred knights.
On the carriage, besides Qian Renxue, who maintained the appearance of a youth, was Xue Ke, the princess with short milky-white hair and brown eyes.
Xue Ke leaned somewhat tiredly against Qian Renxue's shoulder. The previous day, while she was still studying at Yuexuan, she had received a notification from her eldest brother that she was to go study at Skywater Academy.
At first, she was puzzled and ran to ask her imperial father, only to find that both her father and her eldest brother gave the same explanation. So, although she was very unwilling in her heart, seeing the serious expressions of her two closest relatives, she couldn't throw a tantrum and refuse. She had no choice but to agree, and as a result, before she even woke up the next day, she was put on the carriage heading to Element City.
Regarding this hurried yet unusually serious decision, Xue Ke couldn't say she was repulsed; she only felt a strange emotion rising inexplicably in her heart, something like relief, and also like a kind of sorrow.
Qian Renxue gently brushed aside Xue Ke's stray hairs, then smiled and said:
"Father Emperor and Big Brother are doing this for your own good. Going to study at Skywater Academy is practically the dream of every girl of appropriate age in the world right now. There, you won't have to learn heavy etiquette every day; you can make friends to your heart's content, without so many shackles and restraints. Big Brother will negotiate properly with the higher-ups of Skywater Academy to try to let you blend into the circle of the top young geniuses of the younger generation in Tianshui…"
"Little sister… Big Brother truly hopes that you can live well, that you can be happy every day, and not be forever trapped in the shackles of your imperial identity…"
This is also the last thing I, this so-called "Big Brother," can do for you…
Qian Renxue did not say the last sentence aloud, but she proved it with her actions.
No matter if in the future Xue Ke hated her or even wanted to seek revenge against her, she would accept it. Including everything she had done today, in the years to come, she would never regret it…
Xue Ke looked seriously at Qian Renxue once, then gave a soft "oh," turned around, lay down by the window, and looked at the scenery outside.
A trace of confusion appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes, then she gave a light laugh and said no more…
…
A few days later.
Element City.
Although Element City had already become quite independent and powerful overall, receiving a princess of a nation naturally could not be handled carelessly.
Due to certain reasons, Shui Ningbing had no choice but to personally come forward. The other three Element Academies had also sent their own academy deans or vice-deans.
Shen Han Yu and the Snow Emperor were chatting idly in the shadows to one side. In his spare time, Shen Han Yu looked with some surprise at Feng Xiaotian, who was standing a bit ahead of the crowd.
This lickdog youth, after the events of that year, reportedly had a complete awakening on the path of cultivation. He had even set aside the development of his self-created soul skill, which he regarded as his life and glory, and followed a teacher from the academy to temper himself in the Gale Canyon for nearly three years. His temperament and soul power had advanced by leaps and bounds, truly displaying the formidable talent of innate full soul power paired with a top-tier variant beast martial soul.
Now, Feng Xiaotian had already stepped into the Soul King level, with extremely solid foundations. Even his self-created soul skill, which had never progressed before, had broken through to a new level due to the change in his temperament…
What was worth mentioning was that the three years of tempering had not worn away his liking for Huo Wu. It was only that the change in his personality had also transformed part of his lickdog nature, from a lickdog, he had officially evolved into a lickwolf.
According to Shui Bing'er and the others' gossip, after this guy came back and bitterly cultivated for another year or so, he directly charged into Blazing Fire Academy. In front of everyone, he forcefully kissed a completely stunned Huo Wu, and was then beaten half to death by the group of students from Blazing Fire Academy, thrown out like a dead dog…
Afterward, it was Feng Xiaotian's father, the dean of Divine Wind Academy, who personally came forward with a stifled laugh to apologize, and only then did the matter gradually calm down…
But no one expected that after recovering from his injuries, this guy would launch an even fiercer offensive against Huo Wu. After being jointly beaten up by the students of Blazing Fire Academy time and time again, his soul power actually rose faster and faster, and his temperament grew firmer and more stable with each beating…
After a full two years of attacks, yes, he succeeded in winning Huo Wu…
When this matter came out, it nearly caused a riot across the entire Element City. After all, countless people in Element City treated this as after-dinner gossip. After Feng Xiaotian succeeded, he gradually restrained his edge, becoming steady and reserved. Now, with the cultivation of a Soul King, he had been exceptionally appointed as vice-dean and had successfully embraced the beauty. He looked every bit the successful man.
Behind Feng Xiaotian stood Huo Wu with a proud expression, but the way she held onto one of Feng Xiaotian's arms was completely different from her previous unrestrained and fiery demeanor.
While waiting, Shui Ningbing even chatted idly with the two of them for a few sentences. Both responded neither arrogantly nor humbly, with extremely proper and natural expressions on their faces, a stark contrast to a few years ago.
Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves trampling the ground, an extremely luxurious, decorated carriage slowly approached. The surrounding escorting knights were basically all at least Soul Sect level, and whether there were even stronger experts protecting them in the shadows, no one could say for sure.
As the carriage slowly came to a stop, two knights respectfully lifted the curtain and then lowered the steps.
Qian Renxue, with a mild smile on her face, was the first to step out. After standing properly, she supported the young girl inside the carriage as it slowly descended.
The girl wore a silver palace dress. Although her appearance could not be called peerlessly beautiful, she was still a rare beauty. Especially the noble aura on her body made her seem lofty and untouchable.
"Everyone, we meet again…"
"This is my little sister Xue Ke. Little sister, come and greet everyone…"
Qian Renxue greeted them with a light smile, then gently tugged Xue Ke and said warmly.
Xue Ke secretly swept her gaze over the crowd, then performed a standard noble courtesy and said softly:
"Nice to meet you all. Please take care of me in the future…"
Shui Ningbing stepped forward and gently took Xue Ke's hand, also showing a warm smile, and said:
"This seat is Shui Ningbing, dean of Skywater Academy. In the future, if the princess has any needs, you may come to this seat at any time. Skywater Academy welcomes your arrival…"
Xue Ke was slightly stunned, her face turning faintly red. She quickly said:
"Xue Ke greets Ice Luan Crown below…"
Shui Ningbing smiled and lifted Xue Ke's hand, then introduced the people who had come to welcome her one by one, her attitude extremely enthusiastic.
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue stood to the side with her hands behind her back, a shallow smile on her face, watching this scene.
Suddenly, a voice that was both unfamiliar and familiar rang in her ear. Qian Renxue's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal…
