The Crown Prince of the Tian Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe, was no longer the same as before, Tang San was currently sure of this.
The reason was simple. At the moment he met the prince, his Martial Soul, Blue Silver Emperor, felt a warm sensation, as if it had become more active.
It was similar to the feeling when Martial Souls merged.
Blue Silver Emperor was of the life attribute, while Six-winged Angel(Seraphim) was a divine-level Martial Soul with light attribute, and they could complement each other.
This sensation was even stronger than the connection between him and Huo Wu.
This was why Tang San was sure that the original Xue Qinghe had been replaced.
So, how should he respond next?
With Blue Silver Emperor, he could sense that divine light, then Qian Renxue with Six-winged Angel, could definitely sense his Martial Soul's movements.
"I originally thought Tang San was an old man dedicated to Martial Soul research. I never expected him to be a child," Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, then corrected himself, "No, I should say, a young genius."
"The Crown Prince is too kind. I'm just good at observing and summarizing," Tang San responded, with a smile on his face, showing respect while also displaying a sense of equality.
That vigorous vitality made Xue Qinghe unable to help but want to get closer, and he felt a bit of goodwill towards Tang San. "Commissioner Meng, haven't you arranged accommodation for them yet?"
"Yes, I was just about to." Meng Shenji slapped his head, remembering something, and said to Xue Qinghe, "Your Highness, we still have other matters to attend to. Could you please arrange accommodation for these three?"
This was naturally creating an opportunity for Xue Qinghe to attract talents.
The three commissioners of the Tian Dou Royal Academy were close to the gentle and cultured Xue Qinghe and hoped she would become the next emperor of the Tian Dou Empire. Now that Tang San had arrived and the Crown Prince had also come, and he had the intention of attracting Tang San, they naturally had to create opportunities for the future emperor of Tian Dou.
"Three, and Miss Huo Wu, please follow me." Xue Qinghe's attitude was gentle, devoid of the aristocratic arrogance present in other students of the academy, making people feel goodwill towards her.
Tang San couldn't help but sigh. The Xue Qinghe portrayed by Qian Renxue was indeed approachable. As long as one was a normal person, they wouldn't feel any ill will towards her.
In fact, Tang San didn't have any direct conflicts with her.
"Here is the student accommodation of the Tian Dou Royal Academy."
Xue Qinghe pointed to the three separate small buildings in front of them, which were larger than the ones arranged for Tang San and the others by the Huo Family yesterday. Each building had training grounds in front and behind.
"Of course, not all students can enjoy such accommodation. Only geniuses have privileges."
"The other students in the academy, such as those noble children, basically share rooms with two or three people. However, most of them have houses outside Tian Dou City and don't live in the academy."
This also avoided too many conflicts between the main members of the Tian Dou Royal Team and those lazy noble children.
After arranging accommodation for Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Guang Ling, Xue Qinghe pulled Tang San aside and said, "Master Tang San, did you sense it before?"
"I did." Tang San understood that Xue Qinghe was testing him. "Does His Highness' Martial Soul have light attribute? My Blue Silver Grass is mutated and is more sensitive to light attributes."
"Our Xue Family's Martial Souls are all swans, and my swan does indeed have a bit of light attribute." Xue Qinghe described his Martial Soul's situation.
A swan Martial Soul with a bit of light attribute?
This was probably one of the reasons why Qian Renxue chose to replace Xue Qinghe.
"Having the light attribute is an excellent talent," Tang San thought about other matters in his mind, but praised Xue Qinghe, "The Crown Prince must also be a very powerful soul master, right?"
"No," Xue Qinghe sighed, "As a member of the royal family, we don't have as much time for cultivation. It's different from Tian Dou and Xing Luo. Many things need to be done personally by ambitious nobles. I'm only twenty years old now, and I'm just a Soul Ancestor."
Pretend!
Pretend hard!
Tang San thought to himself, but remained calm on the surface, saying, "Your Highness must be talented to be able to find time to cultivate amidst your busy schedule and reach the level of Soul Ancestor. It's definitely an exceptional talent."
"No need to be so polite, Master Tang San," Xue Qinghe smiled, "Calling me Your Highness is a bit distant. I'm a few years older than you, and we hit it off at first sight. How about calling me Big Brother?"
"Alright, Big Brother, no problem, Big Brother." Tang San immediately changed his address.
"Uh..."
Xue Qinghe was a bit taken aback by Tang San's quick change of speech. She thought Tang San would say a few polite words, but she didn't expect him to agree directly and even call her Big Brother.
"Now that I call you Big Brother, you don't need to call me Master, which is too formal. Just call me Tang San," Tang San continued.
Silence.
Still silence.
"Do you think I'm a bit of a sycophant?" Tang San asked.
"Uh..." Xue Qinghe felt that her words had been taken by Tang San, and she didn't know what to say.
"I was born a commoner and I'm poor. If there's an opportunity, I naturally have to seize it. Only then can I continuously use springboards to climb higher," Tang San smiled, "Since Your Highness has given me this opportunity, how can I not seize it? Even if it's just superficial brotherhood, it's enough to praise."
"Tang Xiong, you really are a clever person," Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up, suddenly realizing that her personality seemed to have been caught tightly by him.
From just now until now, Tang San seemed to have figured out her personality, knowing that she wouldn't be angry because of this, and he knew that she knew that he knew she wouldn't be angry because of this.
Yes, she wasn't angry; on the contrary, she had even more goodwill towards Tang San.
"Not clever at all, just telling the truth," Tang San smiled and changed his address, "Isn't the Crown Prince also a clever person?"
This was a double entendre.
However, Xue Qinghe obviously didn't catch the meaning behind Tang San's words. She thought Tang San thought she was an interesting person and said, "As a Crown Prince, sometimes you do need a little humor to relieve the pressure."
"No, I'm not talking about that. I mean, Your Highness, you as a person. After all, good-looking appearances are common, but interesting souls are rare," Tang San smiled, "Your Highness is truly unique."
"Just take it as a compliment," Xue Qinghe felt pleased in her heart. Truly, Tang San's words were unique.
Although his surface etiquette was lacking a bit, it didn't matter. If Tang San was bound by superficial aristocratic etiquette, she would look down on him.
Now—
Tang San, this person, she, Xue Qinghe, had decided on him!
