Chapter 471 Aroused Ren Xue's Suspicion
Meng Shen Ji whispered.
"Is there a deviation in the trajectory of destiny?"
Zhilin and Bai Baoshan both looked solemn when they heard this.
The art of divination is mysterious and can be used to peek into the secrets of heaven and predict the future.
As the chief of the Academic Affairs Council of Tiandou Royal Academy, Meng Shenji has mastered the art of divination to perfection.
Naturally, the results of his divination should not be underestimated.
"Yes, the fate of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe should have developed smoothly, and he should have eventually ascended to the throne and become a wise ruler."
"However, the result of my divination is that the fate of Prince Xue Qinghe has deviated greatly, and he may even encounter an accident."
Meng Shenji said in a deep voice.
"This...how is this possible?"
Zhilin and Bai Baoshan were both in disbelief when they heard this.
Xue Qinghe is the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, of noble status, and is protected by His Majesty and the Queen. How could he possibly meet with an accident?
"I didn't believe it at first, but the result of divination can't be wrong."
"So, I decided to secretly investigate Prince Xue Qinghe."
"After some investigation, I found that there are indeed some problems with Prince Xue Qinghe."
Meng Shen Ji whispered.
"what is the problem?"
Zhilin and Bai Baoshan both looked solemn when they heard this.
"I found that Prince Xue Qinghe's behavior has changed a lot compared to before."
"Moreover, his cultivation progressed rapidly. He improved a lot in a short period of time."
"Most importantly, I discovered that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had contacts with people from the Spirit Hall."
Meng Shenji said in a deep voice.
"What? You have contact with people from the Spirit Hall?"
The Spirit Hall is one of the most powerful forces on Douluo Continent.
They have always coveted the territories of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, attempting to unify the Douluo Continent.
In the core area of Wuhun City, a magnificent palace stands. This is the location of the Wuhun Hall and a holy place in the hearts of all the spirit masters in Douluo Continent. At this moment, in an elegant reception room of the palace, a woman with gorgeous clothes and a beautiful face is sitting quietly by the window. Her eyes pass through the window lattice, and she seems to be thinking about something.
This woman is none other than the daughter of the Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Renxue. However, at this moment, she is disguised as a gentle and elegant prince, walking in the world with this identity, exploring those potential forces that may threaten the peace of the Spirit Hall.
Yesterday, a unique fighting spirit competition was quietly staged in Wuhun City. A young spirit master named Lu Yu, with his extraordinary spirit ring ratio and powerful strength, aroused great interest from Qian Renxue. You know, in Douluo Continent, the ratio of spirit rings is directly related to the strength and potential of spirit masters, and the ratio of spirit rings shown by Lu Yu made even Qian Renxue, a gifted child of heaven, curious and shocked.
"Lu Yu? What an interesting name." Qian Renxue whispered to herself, then she clapped her hands lightly, and immediately a guard came in from outside the door and bowed his head respectfully.
"Go, invite the soul master named Lu Yu, and tell him that this prince has something important to discuss with you." Qian Renxue's voice was gentle but powerful, and every word revealed unquestionable majesty.
Upon hearing this, the guard did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately took the order and left.
On the other side, Lu Yu was lying in his rented hut, recalling every detail of yesterday's fighting spirit competition. In that battle, he relied on his exquisite control of the power of the spirit ring and his deep understanding of the spirit skills to successfully defeat his opponent and win the attention of everyone present. However, Lu Yu knew very well in his heart that the reason why he was able to achieve such a result, in addition to his strength, was more due to luck and strategy.
"Knock, knock, knock--" Just then, a knock on the door broke Lu Yu's thoughts. He stood up and opened the door, only to see a guard dressed in the uniform of the Spirit Hall standing outside the door, holding an invitation letter in his hand.
"Soul Master Lu Yu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you." The guard's voice was calm and powerful, revealing an aura that could not be refused.
Lu Yu was slightly startled when he heard this. He naturally knew the true identity of this "Crown Prince", but on the surface he remained calm and just nodded slightly to indicate that he accepted the invitation.
Later, under the guidance of the guards, Lu Yu walked through the bustling streets of Wuhun City and came to the magnificent palace. After a series of inspections, he was finally brought to the reception room where Qian Renxue was.
As soon as he entered the room, Lu Yu saw Qian Renxue sitting by the window with her back to him. The nobility and elegance revealed in her back made Lu Yu secretly admire her. However, when he approached and saw Qian Renxue turned around, revealing her beautiful and cold face, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Lu Yu bowed respectfully, with a barely perceptible hint of vigilance in his tone.
Qian Renxue nodded slightly and motioned Lu Yu to sit down. Her deep eyes flashed with wisdom and curiosity, as if she wanted to see through Lu Yu.
"Soul Master Lu Yu, I really admire your performance in the soul fighting competition yesterday." Qian Renxue's voice was gentle yet powerful, and every word revealed an indescribable majesty and charm.
Hearing this, Lu Yu was secretly on guard in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and humble: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. I am just doing my best."
"Do your best?" Qian Renxue smiled gently, with a hint of playfulness and deep meaning in her smile. "On Douluo Continent, there are not many people who can truly do their best. And you, Spirit Master Lu Yu, are one of them."
Hearing this, Lu Yu's heart was slightly moved. He didn't expect that this seemingly indifferent prince would actually value his performance so much. However, he knew better that the grudges between him and the Spirit Hall could not be resolved with just a few words.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary soul master and there is nothing commendable about me." Lu Yu answered modestly, trying to lower his posture.
However, Qian Renxue didn't seem to be going to let him go. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yu up and down, as if she wanted to see through him: "Soul Master Lu Yu, do you know why this prince personally invited you here?"
Lu Yu's heart tightened, but he remained calm and composed: "Your Highness, please let me know."
"It's very simple." Qian Renxue smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning and playfulness in her smile, "This prince is very interested in your spirit ring ratio. In Douluo Continent, it is rare to find a spirit master who can possess such a sophisticated spirit ring ratio."
Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince would ask this question so directly. However, he knew better that he couldn't reveal any flaws on this issue.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. There is nothing special about the ratio of my spirit rings. I just chose it according to the characteristics of my own martial soul and my cultivation needs." Lu Yu answered respectfully, with a hint of humility and caution in his tone.
Qian Renxue nodded slightly after hearing this, and seemed to be quite satisfied with Lu Yu's answer. However, her eyes still flashed with curiosity and inquiry, as if she wanted to see through Lu Yu's heart.
"Soul Master Lu Yu, do you know what it means to have a soul ring ratio that exceeds your own level in Douluo Continent?" Qian Renxue suddenly changed the subject, with a hint of seriousness and earnestness in her tone.
Lu Yu's heart trembled. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince would ask this question so directly. However, he knew that he couldn't reveal any flaws on this issue.
"Does it mean... does it mean that this soul master possesses talents and potential beyond ordinary people?" Lu Yu answered tentatively, trying to express his guess.
However, Qian Renxue shook her head and denied Lu Yu's guess: "No, you are only half right. Having a spirit ring ratio that exceeds one's own level does mean that this spirit master has talents and potential beyond ordinary people. But more importantly, it also means that this spirit master will face more challenges and dangers on the road of cultivation."
Hearing this, Lu Yu's heart was slightly moved. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince would have such a profound understanding of the relationship between the soul ring ratio and the path of cultivation. However, he knew better that he couldn't continue to dwell on this issue.
"Your Highness is right. The path of cultivation is full of challenges and dangers. No matter what the ratio of soul rings is, it requires our soul masters to put in hard work and sweat." Lu Yu answered respectfully, trying to steer the topic to other aspects.
However, Qian Renxue didn't seem to be going to let him go. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yu again, as if she wanted to see through him: "Soul Master Lu Yu, do you know why this prince is so interested in you?"
Lu Yu's heart tightened again, but he remained calm and composed: "Your Highness, please let me know."
"Because, this prince sees a unique temperament in you." Qian Renxue said slowly, and every word revealed an indescribable majesty and charm, "It is a temperament of perseverance and courage. This temperament is rare among the soul masters of Douluo Continent."
Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He didn't expect that this seemingly indifferent prince would be so keenly aware of his inner tenacity and persistence. However, he knew better that he couldn't continue to dwell on this issue.
"Your Highness, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary soul master and there is nothing commendable about me." Lu Yu answered humbly again, trying to lower his posture.
However, Qian Renxue did not seem to intend to end the conversation like this. She smiled gently, with a hint of cunning and playfulness in her smile: "Soul Master Lu Yu, do you know that in Douluo Continent, soul masters with your temperament will eventually become overlords or strong men."
Hearing this, Lu Yu's heart was slightly moved. He did not expect that the Crown Prince would give such a direct evaluation. However, he knew better that he could not show any complacency or pride on this issue.
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am just an ordinary soul master and do not have any lofty aspirations or ambitions." Lu Yu answered humbly again, trying to lower his posture.
However, Qian Renxue didn't seem to believe him. She shook her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with wisdom and curiosity: "Soul Master Lu Yu, do you know why this prince values your performance so much?"
Lu Yu's heart tightened again. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince would be so persistent in asking this question. However, he knew better that he couldn't continue to avoid this question.
"Please tell me clearly, Your Highness." Lu Yu answered respectfully, with a hint of helplessness and compromise in his tone.
"Because, this prince sees a possibility in you." Qian Renxue said slowly, each word revealing an indescribable majesty and depth, "a possibility that can change the situation of Douluo Continent."
Lu Yu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this seemingly indifferent prince would have such high hopes for him. However, he knew that he couldn't easily express his opinion on this issue.
"Your Highness, you are being too serious. I am just an ordinary spirit master and I don't have the power to change the situation in Douluo Continent." Lu Yu answered humbly again, trying to lower his posture.
However, Qian Renxue didn't seem to be ready to give up. She smiled gently, with a hint of mystery and deep meaning in her smile: "Soul Master Lu Yu, do you know why this prince values your soul ring ratio so much?"
Lu Yu's heart trembled again. He didn't expect that the Crown Prince would return to this issue again. However, he knew that he couldn't continue to avoid this issue.
"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness." Lu Yu said again.
"Lu Yu, tell me honestly, why is your physical fitness so strong?"
Qian Renxue stared at Lu Yu with her beautiful eyes, with a gleam of inquiry in them.
She really couldn't believe that a soul master who was only at the level of a second-ring great soul master could actually burst out with such amazing physical fitness.
You know, even she, who is from the golden generation of the Spirit Hall and possesses the top-level spirit, the six-winged angel, cannot be compared with Lu Yu in terms of physical fitness.
The gap between them is simply astonishingly large!
But when Lu Yu heard Qian Renxue's words, he felt a slight chill in his heart.
The abnormality of his physical fitness eventually aroused Qian Renxue's suspicion.
However, Lu Yu was prepared for this.
After all, his current physical fitness has completely exceeded the scope of normal people, and even the Titled Douluo may not be able to compare with him.
It would be strange if such an abnormality did not arouse other people's suspicion!
Although Lu Yu was a little nervous in his heart, he still remained calm on the surface.
He looked at Qian Renxue and said slowly, "Your Highness, this matter is actually a coincidence."
"Oh? Come and listen."
Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows, a surge of curiosity in her heart.
She wanted to see how Lu Yu would explain his abnormal physical fitness.
Seeing this, Lu Yu felt slightly relieved.
As long as I can come up with a reasonable reason, Qian Renxue should not doubt me anymore.
