Tuoba Yan asked, "Oh, what is the gift?"
Xue Qinghe smiled but didn't answer. "It's a secret. By the way, Brother Tuoba, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Xue!"
Qian Renxue worried that calling him "cousin" too often would cause gossip and jeopardize her infiltration mission, given the large number of people in the palace. Therefore, she deliberately instructed Tuoba Yan to address her as "Brother Xue" in public and private.
"good."
Tuoba Yan was not a three-year-old child. Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, he knew his true intentions.
The two returned to the banquet together.
Even if others saw it, they would consider it a wise move by Xue Qinghe, who was of princely stature.
As the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe should consider the future of the empire. Tuoba Yan, on the other hand, is a genius whose reputation has recently soared in Tiandou City.
Given Xue Qinghe's status, whether it's to recruit Tuoba Yan or to one day take over the reins of the empire, he has every reason to get close to Tuoba Yan, who will also take over the reins of the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Brigade in the future.
Xue Qinghe and Tuoba Yan talked in the pavilion without arousing suspicion from others.
Shui Bing'er was very clever; besides being kind, she was also very sensible for her young age. Knowing Tuoba Yan's identity, she asked with concern, "Brother Tuoba, has His Highness the Crown Prince made things difficult for you?"
"No." Tuoba Yan answered Shui Bing'er in a normal tone, unafraid of being overheard. "He didn't come to me for anything else. The Power Clan has latched onto him. I have frequent conflicts with the Power Clan, and he wanted to act as a peacemaker, talking to me at length. He simply wanted to make it clear that the Heavenly Dou Empire doesn't seek hegemony, only peace! He hopes I can make peace with the Power Clan!"
Shui Yue'er blinked and asked, "Did you agree?"
Tuoba Yan smiled. "I can't possibly refuse His Highness the Crown Prince's request, can I?"
Shuiyue pouted and said with a laugh, "Come on. Do you really think I'm a child who doesn't know any better? Let alone His Highness the Crown Prince, even if you met His Majesty, I'd say you wouldn't necessarily give him face!"
Shui Bing'er stared at her younger sister, Shui Yue'er, beside her.
Shui Yue'er stuck out her tongue at Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan and Xue Qinghe had agreed on their statements.
The two of them talked for so long in the pavilion that if anyone asked them what they talked about, they would say it concerned the Power Clan, as well as the future and peace of the continent.
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
A loud voice rang out.
All the noblemen present stood up.
Xue Qinghe, dressed in the crown prince's uniform, walked slowly towards the banquet. Whenever he passed by the banquet hall, the noble sons seated there bowed to him. Tuoba Yan was the only exception.
Out of politeness, Tuoba Yan simply stood up and did not bow like Ma Hongjun, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu when Xue Qinghe walked past him.
Xue Qinghe's eyes darted around, noticing Tuoba Yan's behavior, but he didn't take it seriously.
As the Crown Prince, he should possess the magnanimity of a prime minister.
Due to his nature, Tuoba Yan tolerated Tuoba Yan's rude behavior.
Xue Qinghe knew that if he reprimanded Tuoba Yan for being rude like most people, then what difference would there be between him and the others?
Why bother? He's not Xue Qinghe, he's Qian Renxue.
Xue Qinghe sat down at the banquet, and the others followed suit.
An emcee stepped onto the battle stage and announced in a loud voice, "Please welcome His Highness the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire to deliver a speech for this banquet."
Amidst the applause, Xue Qinghe, dressed in a crimson-gold robe, raised his right hand, and the applause in the VIP section quickly ceased.
The grand banquet was completely silent.
His steady yet resonant voice echoed throughout the venue.
"I would like to thank everyone for accepting the invitation to attend the Genius Exchange Meeting."
"The purpose of this exchange meeting is to provide a platform for everyone to communicate."
"Let's stop when we've reached a point of no return."
"Everyone invited to this banquet will be entitled to receive a crystal peach with auspicious cloud motifs after the banquet."
"As for those who ultimately stand on the Soul Battle Stage, the reward will be the Limitless War God Armor."
Auspicious Cloud Crystal Peach: It blooms once every hundred years and bears fruit once every hundred years. The finest among crystal peaches. The fruit takes a full twenty years to mature. During this time, protection from birds and insects is necessary. Inclement weather can also affect the ripening of the crystal peach.
Ordinary crystal peaches are inexpensive, while top-grade crystal peaches are flawless and can be safely absorbed by soul masters without any side effects.
Strictly speaking, ordinary plants and animals do not exist in the Douluo Continent. All living beings except humans are soul beasts.
The Crystal Peach Tree possesses a masculine attribute, and its spirit rings are suitable for spirit masters with a yang attribute among the yin and yang attributes of their martial spirits.
The auspicious cloud crystal peach tree is now rare in the wild and is on the verge of extinction. Only a very small number of peach trees are cultivated by some ancient forces.
It is said that this year is the year when the auspicious cloud crystal peaches cultivated by the royal family will ripen.
Unexpectedly, Xue Qinghe was very generous and magnanimous, willing to give away the priceless auspicious cloud crystal peach.
Upon hearing that auspicious cloud crystal peaches would be presented as a gift, Tuoba Yan glanced around and noticed that many of the noble youths present were tempted, secretly praising Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe wasn't given away for nothing.
Besides gaining a good reputation, he also subtly sought to subdue the noble youths present.
Those invited to the Genius Exchange Meeting are all geniuses under the age of twelve, the cream of the crop.
Xue Qinghe is the Crown Prince. For him, the most important thing is the Xue family's imperial power and the stability of the world. A few peaches are nothing to him.
Among those invited, besides Tuoba Yan from the Spirit Hall, there was also Dai Mubai, who had fled to the Tiandou Empire and ended up at the New Shrek Academy.
Dai Mubai is twelve years old, which just meets the requirements for attending the banquet.
As the third prince of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Mubai was not particularly interested in the auspicious cloud crystal peach.
The Tiandou Empire possesses auspicious cloud crystal peach trees, and the Xingluo Empire, whose national strength is even greater than that of the Tiandou Empire, also possesses auspicious cloud crystal peach trees. Moreover, the number of them exceeds ten.
Ordinary people think that the auspicious cloud crystal peach is something that is hard to come by, but for the Third Prince Dai Mubai, he did not think that this thing was particularly rare.
It wasn't until Xue Qinghe waved her hand, presenting a dazzling piece of software to the maid beside her, that Dai Mubai's expression lost its composure.
The armor is a soft armor, covering only the chest area.
The overall design presents a low-key yet luxurious metallic texture.
Made primarily of mithril and adamantite, and incorporating various rare minerals, its surface shimmers with a faint, ethereal light, as if flowing with mysterious energy.
The collar and cuffs are inlaid with a ring of dark blue magic crystals. These magic crystals not only serve a decorative purpose, but can also absorb and store soul power in battle, providing the user of the soft armor with additional energy support.
The ripples of soul power emanating from it indicated that it was a defensive soul tool.
