A short while later!
A man with a resolute face stood before Qian Renxue.
He possessed a refined air, somewhat like a teacher.
If Qian Renshang were here, he would be surprised to find that this man was the same teacher from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy who had initially tested him.
Li Yan!
Li Yan bowed and said,
"Your Highness, I have important information to inform you… hence my late-night visit."
Qian Renxue was slightly surprised.
This Li Yan was an informant she had placed at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
To overthrow the Heavenly Dou Empire, this pillar of the nation, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, naturally became a thorn in Qian Renxue's side.
She had several informants like Li Yan, all to monitor the so-called geniuses of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
If a student showed exceptional talent, she would approach them.
They would either be used by her or suppressed by her; there was no other choice.
Since Li Yan had come late at night, it must mean that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had produced an extraordinary genius.
As expected, Li Yan quickly spoke excitedly.
"Your Highness, a few days ago a super genius came to the academy.
He's only 15 years old, but his cultivation is at least a 5-ring Soul King."
"The three instructors, Meng Shenji, and Ji, were vying to have him as their personal disciple, but he directly refused..."
Li Yan felt ashamed thinking about Qian Renshang's talent back then.
Sometimes the gap between people is greater than the gap between a person and a pig.
"What? A 15-year-old 5-ring Soul King?"
Qian Renxue's pupils shrank, unable to hide her shock.
Even she, a super genius with an innate level 20 Soul Power, was only at the 6-ring Soul Emperor level at the age of 22.
Of course, she knew that reaching the 6-ring Soul Emperor level at her age had already broken all records.
She thought she was the number one genius on the continent, but she didn't expect there to be someone else.
"What's his name?"
Qian Renxue asked, and Li Yan quickly replied.
"His name is Gu Siyue!"
"Surname Gu? Are there any noble families with the surname Gu in the Heaven Dou Empire?
It seems not.
It seems he's a commoner genius."
Qian Renxue laughed,
"Good, good... Such a genius should be put to my use.
A 15-year-old five-ring Soul King, if I'm willing to give him resources, he might soon reach the Title Douluo realm." "
Then..."
Qian Renxue wasn't afraid of so-called geniuses, because she was destined to become the Angel God, and all geniuses would be trampled under her feet, including this so-called Gu Siyue.
"You... go find this person and see what conditions he wants to join my camp.
I can give you the highest authority."
Qian Renxue said loudly, but Li Yan hesitated.
"Your Highness, this person is a bit strange... He doesn't see many strangers.
I'm afraid he won't acknowledge me even if I go."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly.
She felt that this guy was arrogant, but even geniuses have their tempers.
"Alright, then I'll find a time to go see him in person..."
Qian Renxue said casually. Her current identity was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, second only to the emperor.
She believed that this boy would feel trembling with fear upon seeing her.
"Yes!"
Li Yan quickly withdrew, and the study returned to calm. Qian Renxue resumed her cultivation as usual.
Early the next morning,
Qian Renxue prepared to set off directly to find this so-called "Gu Siyue."
She had gifts and supplies prepared... and soon arrived at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.
Her imposing aura, coupled with a large group of knights guarding her, immediately alerted the students to the arrival of a great figure.
"Is that His Highness the Crown Prince's carriage?"
"It seems so... His Highness the Crown Prince has actually come to our academy!
That's wonderful! It's said that our Crown Prince is particularly good at appointing talented people.
Once he takes a liking to someone, regardless of their background, they will be given a great deal of training."
"Really? I wonder which lucky person has been chosen by His Highness the Crown Prince..."
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
The three members of the teaching committee, Meng Shenji, also rushed over as soon as they heard the news.
"What wind blew His Highness the Crown Prince here...
This truly brings honor to our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."
Qian Renxue replied with a practiced flattery, feigning sincerity, before speaking directly.
"I heard you found a genius named Gu Siyue a few days ago, right...?
I'm very interested in him and would like to meet this genius."
"Huh??... Uh..."
The three education committee members, Meng Shenji, and Xue Qinghe, were completely dumbfounded.
They hadn't expected Xue Qinghe to come here and immediately want to see Gu Siyue. His purpose was too clear, and he was moving too fast.
"It seems the school has quite a few spies for this Crown Prince..."
Meng Shenji sighed inwardly with some helplessness.
He knew that this Crown Prince was not as simple as he appeared.
He really liked Gu Siyue; he was not only polite but also studious, practically the kind of child everyone admired, hard to dislike.
He hoped there wouldn't be any conflict later!
Meng Shenji couldn't refuse the Crown Prince's request, so he agreed to the introduction.
The three education committee members led the way to Gu Siyue's residence.
He went up and knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock!
A sleepy-eyed young man opened the door, looking as if he hadn't slept all night, but even so, his charisma was undeniable.
"Meng Shenji, is there something you need?"
Qian Renshang yawned and asked casually.
He had been working hard to digest the martial soul knowledge lately, barely sleeping at all.
If it weren't for the resilience of his Golden Dragon King bloodline,
he might have actually died from overwork.
"Little guy, learning in moderation is the most efficient way.
You need to pay attention to the balance between work and rest, don't overwork yourself and waste this great talent."
Meng Shenji subconsciously gave him a lecture, and Qian Renshang scratched his head, promising not to do it again.
Meng Shenji found it somewhat amusing; this child was exceptionally well-behaved and polite... it was really hard to dislike him.
However, he hadn't forgotten what he wanted to say, so he honestly asked,
"Little guy... someone wants to see you and get to know you. Would you like to meet him?"
"Who?"
Qian Renshang was a little puzzled. Who could be so important that an eight-ring Soul Douluo would personally come to call him?
Meng Shenji said in a deep voice,
"His Highness the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe."
Bang!
The door slammed shut instantly, and Qian Renshang's cold voice came from inside.
"No!"
Meng Shenji: "???"
Meng Shenji was completely dumbfounded. Where did that polite young man go?
Why did he explode at the mere mention of the Crown Prince's name?
"Boy, didn't you hear who I said... I said Crown Prince Xue Qinghe."
Meng Shenji repeated loudly.
"I said, no."
Qian Renshang's voice remained as cold as ever, seemingly carrying a hint of anger.
