"Grand Prince, should I address you as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
After the enthronement ceremony was completed, Xue Qinghe also moved into the Prince's Mansion in the Eastern Palace.
To celebrate the new house, Xue Qinghe invited many friends to the party, and Xuan Ming was also invited over.
However, knowing that Xuan Ming liked quietness, Xue Qinghe placed him in the backyard and did not come over until the banquet was over.
"If your tone could be a little more intimate, I think the meaning of this sentence wouldn't seem so strange." Xue Qinghe said helplessly.
Xuan Ming always spoke with a distinct sense of distance, no matter who he was talking to, not even to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, with whom he spent every day.
However, the two people seemed to have gotten used to this distance and did not feel strange. But if they were not familiar with them, they would easily feel Xuan Ming's coldness and distance.
He thought that studying at Tiandou Royal Academy would gradually change and eliminate Xuan Ming's sense of distance, but he didn't expect that more than half a year had passed and there had been no change at all.
"Is there anything I can do for you, Your Highness?" Xuan Ming asked directly.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were sent away by Xue Qinghe and went home early.
Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had something to say to him, he had to stay at the Crown Prince's Mansion tonight.
"After a while, I need you to meet someone with me." Xue Qinghe said.
"Who?" Xuan Ming asked.
"The leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is Ning Fengzhi." Xue Qinghe said.
"The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect also has ideas about the Tiandou Empire?" Xuan Ming said.
Xue Qinghe's eyes twitched slightly. "It's ok if there are only two of us here, but when you are outside, don't be so direct. It's scary. Be more tactful."
Xuan Ming nodded, "The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect also wants to contribute to the common people of the world?"
"..."Xue Qinghe.
"I asked you to be tactful, not sarcastic."
"I think there is nothing wrong with my tone or the content. If you didn't have something to hide, why would you think I was being sarcastic?" Xuan Ming said.
"Of course, if Your Highness the Crown Prince finds my words unpleasant, I won't say anything. Just speak, and I'll listen."
Having said that, Xuan Ming really didn't say another word and just looked at Xue Qinghe quietly.
Xue Qinghe clenched his right hand into a fist behind his back.
When she was in the temple, this guy would say something to her! After spending a few months in the Pope's Palace, he was like cotton!
No matter what she said or how hard she tried, there would be no useful feedback...
Xue Qinghe sighed, "The emperor intends to let me contact Ning Fengzhi. If you are here, it will be easier for me to negotiate with him."
In the past few months, Dugu Bo has expressed his importance to Xuan Ming in both explicit and implicit ways. Because of this relationship, even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has to be cautious in dealing with Xuan Ming.
After all, although the individual threat posed by that old poison creature is only that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, the threat he poses to the country and the soul master sect is extremely great.
…
The most prosperous commercial district in Tiandou City, with a restaurant that is no less famous than the Tiandou Royal Hotel.
Qibaozhai is the property of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. It brings together soul masters and businessmen from all over the world. It is also the most ideal exchange for everyone.
Led by the servant, Xue Qinghe and the others arrived at the VIP area of Qibaozhai.
"Master Ning, Sword Douluo."
When I walked into the private room, I saw a middle-aged man with elegant appearance and gentle temperament waiting here early. Next to him was an old man with a cold expression and white hair and beard.
Xue Qinghe stepped forward and saluted immediately, and the other party also stood up.
"This person must be the genius with twin martial spirits that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mentioned before, right?"
After a brief greeting, Ning Fengzhi turned his attention to the strange-looking child who was standing behind Xue Qinghe without saying a word.
Xuan Ming did not respond, but just stared at Chen Xin who was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed and concentrating. The two dragons behind him also became alert instinctively.
"Xuan Ming." Xue Qinghe gently nodded Xuan Ming.
"This is Sect Master Ning."
"Yeah." Xuan Ming responded without his eyes shifting at all.
"Uncle Sword." Ning Fengzhi also spoke after seeing Xuan Ming's alertness. Chen Xin opened his eyes, stood up, glanced at Xue Qinghe, and said nothing. He then looked at Xuan Ming, who was staring at him, and retracted his hidden sword intent.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Xin looked at Xuan Ming.
"A person who is even less polite than me." Xuan Ming said.
Xue Qinghe's eyes twitched slightly, "Xuan Ming, this is Sword Douluo, Senior Chen Xin."
"Is the courtesy of a Titled Douluo to put the sword against someone's neck as soon as you meet them?" Xuan Ming said.
"Sword?" Xue Qinghe was a little confused.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Uncle Sword is curious about this little genius and wants to test him." Ning Fengzhi said.
"You're quite alert." Chen Xin's eyes changed a little. They were no longer indifferent as before. He became somewhat interested in this child who could sense his sword intent.
The hidden sword intent he just showed was ready to be unleashed, and even a Soul Sage would find it difficult to detect. However, if one is unprepared for this hidden sword intent, then when the sword is out, there will be no way to defend against it.
Although he didn't think a child could sense the Seven Killing Sword's sword intent, but looking at the child's alertness after entering the door and his words, it was obvious that he was extremely sensitive to danger!
"..."
After the not-so-pleasant opening, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe began to tug of war.
Xuan Ming said nothing and didn't listen the whole time. He was not interested in what these two people were doing, and he had no right to speak here. Today, he was just a tool.
"Master Ning, please forgive me. Xuan Ming is a rather solitary person, but he didn't mean to offend you."
After talking about national affairs for an unknown amount of time, Ning Fengzhi once again brought the topic back to Xuan Ming.
However, looking at Xuan Ming who actually closed his eyes and meditated while sitting behind him, Xue Qinghe's expression became a little tense.
You really don't give me any face at all!
"I understand, it's just a child, the one at my home is really hard to deal with." Ning Fengzhi said with some empathy.
"Although this child doesn't like to talk, he is still very sensible compared to the one in my family."
"Feng Zhi, Rongrong is still very sensible." Chen Xin retorted.
"Besides, how can you be so embarrassed to argue with a child, especially your own daughter?"
Ning Fengzhi was somewhat speechless, "Then I am not sensible?"
"A little bit indeed." Chen Xin said.
"As an elder, it is your responsibility if the child is ignorant. If you don't teach him, but instead blame the child, isn't that shirking responsibility?"
"..." Ning Fengzhi.
Is it me who doesn't teach? Do you want me to teach?
If I say a few more words to that little ancestor, you two will almost teach me a lesson!
"Your Highness, please forgive me for making a fool of myself." Ning Fengzhi was a little embarrassed.
"No, children will become sensible when they grow up." Xue Qinghe said.
"I hope so." Ning Fengzhi sighed.
"Come to think of it, my girl is about the same age as this kid, why not find a chance for them to get to know each other?"
Xue Qinghe looked at Xuan Ming, "What do you think?"
Xuan Ming opened his eyes, "Can I say I don't want to know you?"
Xue Qinghe's eyes twitched slightly, "What do you think?"
"Don't be angry, Your Highness. I was just joking." Xuan Ming said.
"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that I have a bad temper and my words are not pleasant to the ears. Sect Master Ning's daughter is so precious, I am afraid that I will easily scare her if I act like this."
"My child is quite brave and shouldn't be scared." Ning Fengzhi said.
"What if you get scared?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Let me make it clear first, I don't know how to coax."
