Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 230: Two Stars of Two Eras

The mission of this trip to Tiandou was successfully completed, and Hu Liena finally had the time to look around her.

The top floor of Yuexuan was once the private space of the former owner of Yuexuan. All the furnishings here are carved from agarwood, which is extremely luxurious, yet elegant and quiet.

The light and elegant woody scent permeates the air, having a calming effect on the mind.

"I have heard of Madam Yue's name even though I am far away in Wuhun City. But I came here today but I have no chance to see her in person. What a pity."

There seemed to be a sigh, and Hu Liena's eyes turned, with a genuine sadness between her eyebrows.

She stared at Xue Qinghe and said:
"Among all the women in the world, besides my teacher, the one I admire the most is Madam Yue, Tang Yuehua. Although she is from the Haotian Sect, I admire her for being able to create such a large family business as Yuexuan as a woman."

"I can't see Madam Yue anymore, but I have heard that Tang San, the son of Haotian Douluo and Madam Yue's nephew, has now settled in Tiandou City."

"As the saying goes, a tiger father will have a dog son. Clear Sky Douluo is famous throughout the world. In the records of my Spirit Hall's spirit awakening, Tang San is also a rare innate full spirit power that only appears once in a hundred years."

"Not only that, I heard that Tang San, like my teacher, has twin spirits. The spirit awakening record is Blue Silver Grass, so the other spirit must be Clear Sky Hammer."

"Haotian Douluo and teacher were the two most gifted geniuses of their time. As teacher's only disciple, I have always wanted to see the demeanor of the son of Haotian with my own eyes. I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can introduce him to me?"

It was Yu Xiaogang who told Bibi Dong that Tang San had twin martial souls, and then Bibi Dong told Hu Liena Yu Xiaogang's theoretical speculation.

Although Hu Liena scoffed at Yu Xiaogang's theories, she was indeed curious about Tang San, the son of Haotian.

The useless spirit Blue Silver Grass and the innate full soul power appeared on the same person at the same time. She really wanted to see with her own eyes what was so special about Tang San.

Tang San's father Tang Hao's talent is not as good as her teacher Bibi Dong, so she, as a disciple, must not be worse than Tang San.

Even if Tang San really has twin martial souls, as long as the other party has not obtained the divine inheritance, his future achievements will never reach her level.

"Tang San?" Xue Qinghe was stunned.

He hasn't paid attention to Tang San's news for a long time since Tang Yuehua's funeral.

But fortunately, Tang San is a student of Tiandou Royal Academy, and half of the management rights of Tiandou Royal Academy are in his hands.

Therefore, even though he never took the initiative to find out about Tang San's situation, he still knew a little about Tang San's situation in the academy.

"At this time, Tang San should be practicing in the simulated training ground of my Tiandou Royal Academy. It is a taboo in the spirit master world to disturb others' practice rashly. Let's do it next time."

He said this not with good intentions to stop Hu Liena from meeting Tang San, but simply because he didn't want to be with Hu Liena.

"Practice? That's such a pity." Hu Liena pretended to sigh and said:

"Since I have no chance to meet the son of Haotian Douluo, why don't you take me to your Tiandou Royal Academy?"

"The First Academy of the Tiandou Empire. I really want to see it. I wonder if I can have this honor?"

After saying this, she did not wait for Xue Qinghe to agree or refuse, and continued:

"Your Highness, you have already rejected me once. Rejecting a girl twice in a row is not the behavior of a gentleman."

"I just want to visit the academy. Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince satisfy this small request of mine?"

As she spoke, Hu Liena looked at Xue Qinghe with her bright eyes pitifully, as if tears would fall from her eyes in the next second.

"My pleasure." Xue Qinghe stood up from his chair gracefully and made a gesture of invitation.

Of course, he was not deceived by Hu Liena, but his image in front of everyone was that of a gentle and approachable gentleman, which could not be easily destroyed. For this reason, he could only hide all his frustration and dissatisfaction in his heart, and led Hu Liena on the road to Tiandou Royal Academy with a forced smile.

……

At the foot of the mountain, next to the lake.

Xue Qinghe and Hu Liena walked side by side on the path leading to the mountainside.

"The mountains and rivers are accompanied by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers."

"Your academy has beautiful scenery, much more beautiful than our Spirit Hall Academy. It is worthy of being a royal academy built with the efforts of the whole country. The funds are indeed abundant."

Hu Liena turned around and looked at the forest behind her. Her eyes turned and she said:
"The forest behind us must be the mimicry training ground for plant-type soul masters, right?"

"Not bad." Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, trying his best to maintain a gentlemanly and easy-going image.

"Tang San is practicing in that forest. Miss Hu, do you want to go over and take a look?"

He said this in order to retreat, but he never expected Hu Liena to play against the norm.

"Of course, Your Highness, do you want to join us?"

Hu Liena had already said this, and in order to maintain her character, Xue Qinghe had no choice but to nod and accompany her to the forest at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, Tang San was still searching the forest for places to devour the life energy of plants, completely unaware of the arrival of two uninvited guests.

The dense forest is quite quiet, with only the occasional sounds of birds and insects briefly breaking the silence.

Walking along the forest path, Hu Liena saw something through the Eye of Desire.

Some of the plants on the roadside are growing well, but others are in a sluggish state and are almost wilting.

"No way." Hu Liena said secretly.

She thought that only the students in Tiandou Royal Academy were not good, but the hardware facilities of the academy were still top-notch.

But no one expected that such a situation would occur in this forest, which serves as a training ground for plant-type soul masters.

There is definitely no shortage of funds for the Royal Academy, and embezzlement of funds would not have led to the current situation in the forest.

"So, those plants that are almost wilting are caused by humans. Who could it be?"

After going deeper into the forest, their direction of walking was no longer led by Xue Qinghe, but Hu Liena took Xue Qinghe to wander around in the forest.

Behind the seemingly aimless wandering, Hu Liena was actually constantly adjusting her direction based on the abnormalities of the forest plants.

She had a hunch that Tang San was the real culprit behind the decline of the plants in this forest.

It’s not that Hu Liena didn’t think about the possibility of other people, but who could blame her for wandering in the forest for so long without meeting a single student.

It is impossible that the Royal Academy would not have any students with plant-type martial spirits.

But even Hu Liena, who came here for the first time, knew the customs of Tiandou Royal Academy.

But even so, after seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but sigh that such a good venue and resources of the Royal Academy were wasted.
