Chapter 222 The Meeting of the Two Qinghes
Xue Ye said with an unfriendly expression, "Bishop Salas, Sect Master Ning is my son Xue Qinghe's teacher. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was supported by my Heaven Dou Empire. If the Spirit Hall wants to touch the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, don't blame my Heaven Dou Empire for turning its back on you without mercy."
These words stirred Ning Fengzhi's emotions deeply. His eyes lit up instantly.
If the Heaven Dou royal family takes the lead, and with the addition of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and the two peak Douluo, Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo, wouldn't they immediately achieve the goal of the three upper sects joining forces and forming a super alliance to fight against the Spirit Hall?
But Emperor Xueye's next words filled him with resentment: "Of course, I have no intention of being an enemy of the Spirit Hall. I am willing to cede the three cities of Sac, Ras, and Hilde to the Spirit Hall. I wonder what Bishop Salas thinks?"
In the eyes of Emperor Xueye, these three cities were all medium-sized cities, with Las City being comparable to a large city like Soto City, which showed great sincerity and involved a significant price.
His act of sacrificing his own flesh for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will surely earn Ning Fengzhi's deepest gratitude.
As for starting a war with the Spirit Hall and tearing off all pretense of civility?
Don't joke around. Ning Fengzhi is afraid of Bibi Dong, but isn't he afraid of her too? That Pope is no pushover; he's capable of carrying out decapitation strikes. The Haotian Sect serves as a cautionary tale.
He didn't believe that anyone in the current Soul Master world could stop Bibi Dong's assassination attempt.
But will Ning Fengzhi truly be grateful?
Obviously not.
He stared at Emperor Xueye in disbelief, clearly not expecting the emperor to be so incompetent. He had actually ceded three border cities to the Spirit Hall—all crucial military strongholds. The Spirit Hall was already a formidable force; to further strengthen it—had Emperor Xueye gone mad? Was this still the Emperor Xueye he knew?
Upon hearing Emperor Xueye's words, Salas was naturally tempted, but he could not make the decision on his own and needed to consult His Holiness the Pope.
Just then, Bibi Dong's voice rang in Salas's ears, "Agree to his request. Also, have Ning Fengzhi pay 200 million gold soul coins in compensation."
Upon hearing this, Salas instantly understood and said in a deep voice, "Since His Majesty is so generous, then our Pope will probably not hold a grudge against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School anymore. However, it would be even better if Sect Master Ning could compensate us with another two hundred million gold soul coins."
"Two hundred million? Why don't you just rob me..." Ning Fengzhi was furious. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was rich, it shouldn't be spent like this. You should know that two hundred million gold soul coins already accounted for seventy or eighty percent of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's total liquid funds.
"That will work too." Salas smiled.
Finally, Emperor Xueye made the decision, "Alright, Sect Master Ning, give them to them. Two hundred million gold soul coins in exchange for a genius son-in-law with twin martial souls is not a loss."
He really didn't want to become enemies with the Spirit Hall because the Clear Sky Sect had already been destroyed. Preserving the strength of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Heaven Dou royal family was the most important thing.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth, but ultimately could only swallow his anger. He turned to look at Tang San and silently prayed, "Tang San, I have already offended the Spirit Hall for you and paid 200 million gold soul coins in compensation. You must not disappoint me."
The qualifiers are over, and the next stage is the knockout rounds.
As the emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye delivered another impassioned speech. He then bestowed titles upon the six teams that had qualified.
Among them, the Royal Fighting Team received the utmost favor.
Whether it was to curry favor with Dugu Bo or to win over the Royal Fighting Team, Emperor Xueye not only made an exception by bestowing the title of Earl upon Ye Qinghe, the captain of the Royal Fighting Team, and Dugu Yan, the vice-captain, but also granted the title of Viscount upon the others.
This is unprecedented.
But Ye Qinghe didn't care about this at all, and he wouldn't accept this so-called title.
After all, who would care about so-called wealth and glory if they could become gods?
The qualifying rounds began soon after.
During this period, the six teams that qualified had a month to adjust.
None of the members of the Royal Fighting Clan had any intention of resting. They were all diligently cultivating and improving their soul power.
Bibi Dong doesn't seem to have any intention of returning to Wuhun City.
The two ate and slept together (cultivation replaced sleep). During this time, Bibi Dong only made him pay his dues once on the night the preliminaries ended, and then she never bothered Ye Qinghe again. She chose to quietly stay by his side.
Liu Erlong would come to visit from time to time, each time bringing soup or stewed ribs, treating Ye Qinghe like her own child, which made him feel somewhat helpless.
And just like that, a month passed in the blink of an eye.
A month later, the Tiandou Empire and its various principalities, along with a total of thirty-one teams, arrived at the Royal Hunting Grounds, located fifty miles southwest of Tiandou City.
Led by staff arranged by the Tiandou Royal Family, the participating teams crossed a small hill and arrived at a vast grassland where a large number of military camps were stationed.
The qualifying rounds will be held in the military camp, where everyone will eat and sleep.
The barracks assigned to the Royal Fighting Team were naturally the best. Including Dugu Bo, Bibi Dong, and Liu Erlong, there were a total of eleven people, each with their own barracks.
Yes, Liu Erlong came along too.
In Liu Erlong's words, with Ye Qinghe's talent, it is very likely that he will attract the covetous eyes of the Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and they might even try to kill him.
As the only child of her deceased friend, Liu Erlong must protect him.
Ye Qinghe didn't say anything about it, after all, having an extra bodyguard is always a good thing.
The group quickly chose their rooms. Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan naturally chose the barracks closest to Ye Qinghe. Liu Erlong and Ye Lingleng's rooms were also nearby. However, Dugu Bo was surprisingly far away from Ye Qinghe, staying near Yu Feng and the Shi brothers, Aosi Luo.
Just as they had settled in, their temporary lodgings welcomed four guests. While the arrival of the three members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's faculty committee was expected, the third person was somewhat unexpected for Ye Qinghe.
Eleven barracks is a large, independent courtyard. Ye Qinghe had just laid out his bedding and was about to come to the courtyard to cultivate when he saw these four people arrive.
[Ding, villain Qian Renxue detected. Would you like to bind?]
"Bind." Ye Qinghe silently murmured to himself.
[Ding, binding successful.]
[Villain Qian Renxue—, Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel, Soul Power: Level 72, Favorability: 0 (Envy, Jealousy, Dislike)]
What have I ever done to offend this little vixen? Why does she hate me so much?
Ye Qinghe was speechless inside, but on the surface he remained calm. "Three members of the Education Commission, what brings you here? And who is this gentleman?"
The person who came with the three education commissioners looked three or four parts similar to Xue Beng, but had a very elegant demeanor, as if he were a carbon copy of Ning Fengzhi.
Although Ye Qinghe knew Qian Renxue's identity, he pretended not to know.
