Chapter 84: Ning Rongrong's Wicked Sense of Humor
Xue Qinghe... no, it should be said that Qian Renxue, although standing above on the steps and looking down at the group of visitors, Su Yun could not sense any condescension or authority in her eyes. All he felt from Qian Renxue was a water-like tolerance and gentleness.
'Years of concealment have indeed cultivated an extraordinary temperament,' Su Yun thought to himself.
"All of you must be the guests from the Martial Soul Hall, right? Qinghe has been waiting for a long time."
Suddenly, a warm voice came from above.
Qian Renxue descended the steps to greet them, approaching the group that included Su Yun.
"The two of you must be Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan from the Martial Soul Hall. Qinghe greets you with respect," Qian Renxue greeted Gui Mei and Yue Guan with proper noble etiquette.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei returned the gesture.
After all, the person welcoming them was the Crown Prince of the Tian Dou Empire, the heir apparent.
It was expected that after Emperor Xue Ye's hundred years, this prince would become the next emperor of the Tian Dou Empire. Thus, the necessary formalities were observed.
"Brother Su Yun, is he the Crown Prince of the Tian Dou Empire?" Zhu Zhuqing, holding Su Yun's hand and leaning against him, asked softly.
In a way, she and the man before her were enemies.
However, like Su Yun, Zhu Zhuqing only felt a comfortable sensation from Qian Renxue.
As Su Yun and Zhu Zhuqing were conversing quietly, Qian Renxue's gaze suddenly fell on Su Yun.
"This young friend must be Su Yun, the new disciple of the Pontiff, as mentioned by Uncle Xue Xing?"
"Truly a distinguished figure."
Qian Renxue looked at Su Yun, her eyes sparkling with an unusual light.
She had received information about Su Yun three years ago.
Over these years, her spies in the Martial Soul Hall had frequently sent updates about Su Yun.
Especially when she learned that Su Yun had reached the level of a Soul Honour at the age of ten, she was immensely surprised.
Reaching the 30th level of soul power and becoming a Soul Honour at the age of ten was a rarity according to the records of the Martial Soul Hall.
Moreover, his martial soul was the legendary Blue Silver Emperor which had undergone a positive mutation, evolving into the Blue Silver Emperor Tree.
Such a talent had already ignited a desire in Qian Renxue to win him over.
Even though Su Yun was that woman's disciple, it could not stop Qian Renxue's admiration for talent.
Therefore, Qian Renxue planned to start actively showing goodwill and winning over Su Yun.
Hearing Qian Renxue address him directly, Su Yun was initially startled, then stepped forward and returned the gesture: "I am Su Yun, pleased to meet Your Highness."
"No need for formalities."
Qian Renxue slightly raised her hand, waiting for Su Yun to stand up, then exchanged a few words with Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuqing, and others before leading them into the banquet hall.
Upon entering the hall, Su Yun immediately noticed that the spacious banquet hall was filled with numerous guests.
The Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, was there. Beside him, apart from Ning Rongrong, who was about the same age as Su Yun, were Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
Representatives from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan included the clan leader Yu Yuanzhen, the second clan leader Yu Luomian, and Yu Tianheng, who was studying at the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
Also present was the principal of the Blue Tyrant Academy and Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, Liu Erlong.
Due to historical reasons, no one from the Clear Sky Clan was present.
Apart from the top three sects, the four major sects also sent their top family members to the event.
The Star Luo Empire was naturally present as well.
The guests from the Star Luo Empire were familiar faces to Su Yun and his group, none other than Zhu Zhuyun and Dai Weisi, led by the same Soul Douluo as before.
As soon as they entered, Su Yun and Dai Weisi's gazes clashed.
Zhu Zhuyun's gaze tangled with Zhu Zhuqing's.
However, the four only exchanged looks for a second before moving on.
With the arrival of Su Yun and his group, their presence caught the attention of other forces at the venue.
After all, Su Yun was now part of the Martial Soul Hall.
The existence of the Martial Soul Hall wasn't exactly welcomed by the two major empires and the top three sects.
Only the lower four sects had a slightly better attitude towards the Martial Soul Hall.
"Daddy, are they people from the Martial Soul Hall?"
Ning Rongrong, dressed in a white princess dress, tugged at Ning Fengzhi's sleeve and asked as she saw Su Yun and others arrive.
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly and patted Ning Rongrong's head, replying, "Our Rongrong is so smart, recognizing them right away."
Blinking her eyes, Ning Rongrong's attention was drawn to Su Yun, standing at the front of the Martial Soul Hall group. Her eyes brightened as she exclaimed, "Daddy, that boy is so handsome, even more than my brothers."
As the only daughter of Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong naturally had many brothers.
These brothers all inherited their father's handsome features. Ning Rongrong once thought her brothers were the most handsome boys in the world.
But at the sight of Su Yun, she suddenly felt that her brothers were overshadowed.
And when she noticed Zhu Zhuqing's cold and beautiful face beside Su Yun, she gasped slightly.
Such a beautiful girl!
Ning Rongrong always considered herself the most beautiful girl in the world, but today, after seeing Zhu Zhuqing, she felt she had met her match.
And when Ning Rongrong saw Zhu Zhuqing and Su Yun's hands clasped together, her expression first froze.
Then a sly glint flickered in her lively eyes.
Ning Rongrong thought to herself:
They must be a couple, right?
What would happen if I took that handsome boy away from the beautiful girl?
Being called a little witch wasn't for no reason.
As the only daughter of the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was spoiled from a young age by the Sword Douluo and the Bone Douluo.
Even Ning Fengzhi sometimes couldn't control her.
Thus, Ning Rongrong's fearless character gradually developed.
Although only ten years old, being a girl, she naturally matured a bit early. Seeing a handsome boy like Su Yun, her heart naturally fluttered a bit.
But now, her heart was more intent on snatching Su Yun away from Zhu Zhuqing to satisfy her mischievous streak.
Moreover, they were people from the Martial Soul Hall.
Ning Rongrong had heard from her father and the Sword and Bone Douluos that the Martial Soul Hall was at odds with their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone if she could cause discord among them?
