Ning Fengzhi was the teacher of Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, so Ning Rongrong had known him since childhood.
Patting Ning Rongrong's little head, Ning Fengzhi looked around and said with a faint smile, "Everyone, I hope I didn't disturb you! I didn't expect Dean Liu Erlong to be here."
Liu Erlong smiled professionally, "Master Ning, please don't tease me. I'm no longer the Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy. I'm just an ordinary teacher at Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy."
Ning Rongrong blinked her eyes and said, "Dad, why are you here? And Brother Qinghe is here too."
"Your Highness and I happened to be passing by. We heard from the servants that you, Rongrong, were having a party with your friends, so we came to check it out. I hope I didn't disturb you!" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. He
then began to introduce Xue Qinghe to everyone.
When everyone realized that this person before them was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, they were particularly shocked, smiling politely and greeting him.
"I'm a few years older than you, so just call me Brother Xue!" Xue Qinghe, still his friendly demeanor, walked up to the clan leader. "Long time no see, little brother."
"Brother Xue, long time no see," the clan leader said with a wry smile.
"Little brother, Brother Xue?" Everyone, including Ning Fengzhi, looked puzzled.
"What's the matter, Qinghe and Xiaozong, do you know each other?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Xue Qinghe and the clan leader.
Xue Qinghe smiled faintly, "Little brother and I met once before, and we felt like we were old friends. We just called each other brothers."
The clan leader's mouth twitched slightly. Damn, they felt like we were old friends at first sight. If Xue Beng dared say such disgusting things to him, someone in our clan would have castrated him. But Qian Renxue was a little sister after all, so it was okay if we just met!
"Yes, yes, Big Brother Xue and I felt like we were old friends at first sight, right at first sight." As he
spoke, the clan leader put his arm around Xue Qinghe's shoulder. Their heights were similar, so it was natural for the clan leader to succeed.
As his hand deliberately brushed Xue Qinghe's snow-white neck and rested on her delicate, boneless shoulder, the clan leader felt a shudder as if Xue Qinghe were electrocuted.
He chuckled inwardly, thinking this way, someone in his clan wouldn't suffer any loss. It was a matter of reciprocity.
Xue Qinghe's brows furrowed slightly. As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, and later the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, she had lived a life of luxury and superiority for so many years. When had she ever been touched in this way by the opposite sex?
But with so many people present, he felt embarrassed to act aggressively. With his eyes narrowed, he patted the clan leader's shoulder and said with a smile, "Little brother, after the banquet, come with me to the mansion. I need to discuss something with you."
Ning Fengzhi didn't see anything wrong with it. Xue Qinghe was his disciple. If a talent like the clan leader could befriend Xue Qinghe, it would only benefit the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi agreed, "In that case, Xiaozong, you should go and catch up with Qinghe later!"
Hearing this, the pupils of the clan leader shrank. If he really went back to the mansion with him, what would happen to me? He would probably think of ways to make trouble for me!
"No need! I have to send Xiaowu and Lingling back to Tiandou Academy later. I am worried about the two girls walking on the road at night."
"It doesn't matter. There are plenty of rooms in the Qibao Hotel. Just stay here. I'll have someone prepare a few of the best suites." Ning Fengzhi made a brilliant finishing move.
Just like that, after the banquet, the clan leader said goodbye to the girls and got on Xue Qinghe's carriage.
The two of them sat in the luxurious carriage, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
Xue Qinghe didn't say anything, his eyes kept scanning the clan leader, and he nodded from time to time, as if he wanted to see through him.

"No matter how you look at it, you're certainly good-looking, little brother. No wonder you're so popular with so many girls. Even my sister, Xue Ke, has been clamoring to play with you ever since she met you once," Xue Qinghe teased.
The clan leader frowned and said, "Brother Xue, what's the important matter you're seeking me for? Just tell me."
Xue Qinghe said sternly, "Little brother, what are your thoughts on the continental situation?"
Upon hearing this, the clan leader's eyes narrowed slightly, and instead of answering, he asked, "I'm just an ordinary student at the Spirit Master Academy. Isn't it too embarrassing for His Royal Highness to ask me such a question? It would be more appropriate to ask Sect Master Ning."
The clan leader then addressed him directly as His Royal Highness. Xue Qinghe's question was a life-or-death proposition. If he sided with the Empire, "he" would find ways to cause trouble for him. If he sided with the Spirit Hall, "he" was now the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. To dare to speak like this in front of "him" clearly meant knowing his true identity. The tactics were complex, as they had always been!
Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Okay, then, let's not talk about this. What are your thoughts on the Continental High-Level Spirit Master Competition in a little over a year?"
The clan leader replied, "I'll definitely be participating. With such a grand event, not participating would be a waste of my life."
There was one more thing the clan leader didn't say: Spirit bones or not didn't matter; the key was to see the goddess Bibi Dong and, by the way, torment Tang San.
Xue Qinghe nodded and said sternly, "I hope you lead the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to victory over the Spirit Hall Academy and win the championship. And I will personally lead you then."
At this point, Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed. "He" wanted to see the woman's expression when she saw the person she cared about become her rival.
Why, being her "biological" child, was she less important than a stranger, even less important than that slutty Hu Liena?
The thought of this gave Xue Qinghe an indescribable sense of revenge.
The two chatted intermittently, and soon arrived at the Crown Prince's residence.
Just as the clan leader was about to get off the car, he noticed something was wrong with Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe's face was pale, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he held his lower abdomen with his right hand, looking very painful.
The clan leader's mouth twitched. Oh my goodness, it seems Qian Renxue is having her period! Not long ago, she dared to drink iced beer with us. She really has no common sense.
The clan leader asked knowingly: "Brother Xue, I see that you are not feeling well now. Why don't I take you back to your room first and find a way to help you heal."
Qian Renxue was already in agony at this time.
After a slight hesitation, he nodded. If "his" current condition was seen by someone with ulterior motives, then perhaps all the efforts made over the years would be in vain.
With permission, the clan leader lifted the curtain and looked around. Fortunately, it was late at night and there were almost no people on the street.
The clan leader picked up Xue Qinghe like a princess, jumped out of the carriage, and shouted to the guards: "Your prince is drunk, take me to 'his' room."
The guards were stunned. When did their own prince get drunk? They subconsciously looked at Xue Qinghe. Only after getting permission did they let him go.
The two Titled Douluo, Thorny Porpoise and Snake Spear, who were hiding in the dark and responsible for protecting Qian Renxue, did not choose to take action after seeing the clan leader carrying the weak Qian Renxue out. The clan leader was someone secretly protected by Bibi Dong, and it was almost an open secret in the Elder Hall. As long as the clan leader did not pose a threat to Qian Renxue, they would not interfere too much.
