Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 153 Seven Star Academy
In a quiet room of Tiandou Royal Academy, a blond man with luxurious clothes and elegant manners was sitting on the sofa with a calm face. Next to him was a tall and thin man shrouded in darkness.

These two people were Xue Qinghe, disguised as Qian Renxue, and Snake Spear Douluo Yu Long.

A few days ago, the spy that Qian Renxue arranged to be beside Prince Xuexing brought back news that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo seemed to be preparing to set up an academy. The purpose was not clear, but Qian Renxue knew that the old guy Dugu Bo always hated trouble, and it was completely impossible for him to run an academy personally.

According to the news sent back by Thorny Porpoise Douluo, Cheng Xiao seemed to have an unusually good relationship with Dugu Bo. Even Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan went to Dugu Bo's residence in Sunset Forest because of this. So, Qian Renxue came to Tiandou Royal Academy, intending to get some information from Cheng Xiao.

"We've waited for so long, why hasn't he come yet?" Qian Renxue said impatiently after drinking another cup of warm tea.

Snake Spear Douluo on the side said nothing. Ever since Cheng Xiao left the Prince's Mansion last time, their usually calm young master has become a little abnormal. So, in order to prevent the fire from burning himself, Snake Spear Douluo has developed the ability to remain silent.

After a moment, Snake Spear Douluo, who was hiding in the darkness, heard some footsteps, whispered a few words to Qian Renxue, and disappeared into the room.

As Snake Spear Douluo left, the door of the quiet room was slowly pushed open, and Cheng Xiao and Sun Buyu walked in together. On the way here, Cheng Xiao had already learned from Sun Buyu who the visitor was, so he did not feel nervous at all.

"Your Highness, Cheng Xiao is here." Sun Buyu said respectfully as he walked in front of Xue Qinghe.

"Well, thank you for your help." Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

Sun Buyu was a little flattered. He then smiled at Xue Qinghe and left the quiet room without hesitation.

With Sun Buyu's departure, the quiet room suddenly fell into silence. Cheng Xiao glanced at Xue Qinghe who was smiling, casually found a sofa and sat down, without saying a word, just looking at each other quietly.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Xue Qinghe frowned and said unhappily, "My cousin praised you so much, but the result is not that good."

"What do you mean not so good?" Cheng Xiao smiled slightly, his deep purple eyes staring at Xue Qinghe's twinkling eyes, feeling a little amused.

"You..." Xue Qinghe's eyes were a little evasive, and then he sighed deeply, saying: "Brother Cheng Xiao, I won't hide it from you. My cousin has a crush on you. I came here today for no reason, but just wanted to see what kind of young man this person is that my beautiful cousin has a crush on."

"No other ideas?" Cheng Xiao stared at Xue Qinghe in front of him, his lips curled slightly, and said with a smile: "I am naturally flattered that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can come, but I would like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's cousin to come. After all, chatting with a beautiful woman seems to make people feel more cheerful."

"Haha, brother Cheng Xiao is really good at joking." Xue Qinghe had a smile on her face, but she was extremely angry in her heart. If she had known that Cheng Xiao would be soft-hearted, why would she have gone to the trouble of disguising herself as Xue Qinghe? Now she is really shooting herself in the foot.

"Haha, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a kind-hearted person." Cheng Xiao raised his hand and touched his nose, then asked with a smile, "I wonder what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to talk to me about? Is it because your cousin can't get married? If possible, I can bear the grievance."

"Don't worry, with my cousin's strength and beauty, she won't have trouble finding a man." Xue Qinghe glanced at Cheng Xiao and said lightly, "I heard that Brother Cheng Xiao has a good relationship with Poison Douluo. I just want to know if the rumor that Senior Dugu wants to establish a high-level soul master academy is true, so I came to ask Brother Cheng Xiao. Please give me an answer." "Your Highness, this is indeed true, but I have also advised Senior Dugu, but he didn't listen and insisted on establishing an academy for the common people. You also know that the better academies on the mainland only accept nobles, and the common people can't get a good training environment at all. Just like me, I can only come to Tiandou Royal Academy to study with the help of Sister Qianxue." Cheng Xiao said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Oh? An academy that only accepts civilians is a good idea, but opening an academy requires a huge amount of money. Can Poison Douluo Dugu Bo afford it?" Xue Qinghe thought for a moment, lowered his head and murmured.

"If you don't have enough money, you can borrow it. The main issue is the review by the royal family. Otherwise, even if you create it, you won't be eligible to participate in the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition." Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Brother Cheng Xiao is really a man of character." Xue Qinghe was a little embarrassed, and then asked in surprise: "Hearing what you said, could it be that Poison Douluo's goal is just to participate in the All-Continental High-level Spirit Master Elite Competition?"

"Then I don't know. For more specific information, you have to ask Dugu Bo." Cheng Xiao spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

"Hiss... Brother Cheng Xiao, actually, we can do this thing of establishing a college." Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, rubbed his hands, and said, "But, you have to let me invest, at least let me own one-third of the rights of this college, similar to the dean."

"Is it that simple?" Cheng Xiao was a little confused, and subconsciously asked: "Is your cousin coming? I think she is quite capable, and I think she should be able to participate in a competition."

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe's face darkened and he said, "Brother Cheng Xiao, why are you always thinking about my cousin? How about this, I'll go back and ask her. If she participates, I'll tell you, is that okay?"

"Okay." Cheng Xiao agreed immediately. It was just a casual remark anyway. If Qian Renxue was going to come, that would be great, so that some crazy woman wouldn't cause trouble.

You know, Cheng Xiao hasn't made it clear yet that he will join the Spirit Hall. He also knows that it is Ju Douluo who has been delaying him, but the truth will eventually come to light. If Bibi Dong forces him to join, he will have no choice but to take the opportunity to pull Qian Renxue to her side. By then, Bibi Dong will not be able to do anything to him.

"That's quite a straightforward agreement." Xue Qinghe shook his head, then stretched out his hand and flicked his fingers. A purple-gold card appeared in his hand, with nine different ripples flashing on it.

"This is a nine-pattern purple gold card. There are quite a few gold soul coins in it. Don't borrow money to establish the academy. These can be considered my shares." After saying that, Xue Qinghe stuffed the capital card into Cheng Xiao's hand.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Cheng Xiao was not polite and directly put the funding card into the soul guide.

"By the way, have you and Dugu Bo decided on a name for the academy?"

"As for the name of the college... let's call it Seven Star College." Under Xue Qinghe's curious gaze, Cheng Xiao said slowly after a while.
