Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 310 Tang Yin? Tang San! (44)

With this thought in mind, Xue Qinghe decided to go and test the waters.

After the course ended, Tang San met Crown Prince Xue Qinghe through Tang Yuehua's introduction.

Compared to before, after learning about etiquette and music, Tang San's state of mind changed slightly, and he became more mature.

Facing the culprit who shut down Shrek Academy, he calmly said, "This humble subject greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xue Qinghe chuckled softly, a sound as gentle as a spring breeze.

"Brother Tang Yin is indeed a handsome and talented man. No wonder my sister strongly recommended you to me."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "May I ask where Brother Tang Yin is from, what his Soul Master cultivation level is, and whether he has any intention of serving the Empire?"

If Tang San makes even the slightest mistake regarding these three questions, his identity will be exposed.

Tang Yuehua's heart tightened. In order not to reveal anything, she had omitted a lot of information when introducing Tang San. The explanation for this was that Tang San had only been there for a short time, and there were some things she hadn't had a chance to ask yet.

If she were to interrupt now, wouldn't that just make things worse?

Tang San, having lived two lives, would not easily show weakness.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is too kind. I am but a commoner. How dare I presume to claim that I can share the burdens of the empire!"

"I come from a small city in the western part of the empire. My parents were originally wealthy merchants in the city, but they offended a powerful force due to the expansion of their business, which ultimately led to their deaths."

"This humble commoner, barely surviving, came to Tiandou City and happened to meet my distant aunt, so I stopped by Yuexuan to rest."

The Haotian Sect had some activities in the western part of the empire, so they naturally had a good understanding of the local situation.

With Tang Yuehua and Tang Xiao's deliberate cover-up, Tang San's identity appears perfectly legitimate!
For Xue Qinghe, his overly perfect origins were actually the biggest problem.

He was already 90% convinced that Tang Yin was Tang San!
He paused for a moment, then asked with a smile, "I wonder, Brother Tang Yin, what is your Soul Master cultivation level? Knowing your specific situation will help me arrange a suitable position for you."

If I reveal my cultivation level, and Xue Qinghe pulls me into a duel, wouldn't that expose me?

Tang San wasn't stupid, and quickly replied, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, my Soul Master cultivation is not strong, only level thirty-two. I think that with my strength, I am not qualified to serve Your Highness."

Staying by Xue Qinghe's side would be like asking a tiger for its skin.

If their identity is exposed in the future, they won't even know how they died.

Moreover, Xue Qinghe's words carried a strong sense of probing, clearly indicating that she had already begun to doubt his identity.

Tang Yuehua complained, "Your Highness, my nephew has only just arrived at Yuexuan and hasn't finished learning etiquette. If he were to be summoned to the palace to serve now, it would be bad if he offended Your Highness."

Xue Qinghe readily agreed, laughing as he said, "It seems I was a bit too hasty. No problem, once Brother Tang Yin graduates from Yuexuan, I will definitely recommend him to serve under me as soon as possible."

"Lady Yuehua, as you know, I have always admired talented people, and I don't want to miss out on someone as talented as Brother Tang Yin."

Tang Yuehua readily agreed and quickly changed the subject.

After chatting for a while, Xue Qinghe left Yuexuan, citing "busy official business".

Before leaving, Princess Xueke complained, "Brother, you promised to give Tang Yin a job."

Xue Qinghe evaded the question by saying, "Xue Ke, didn't Madam Yuehua say that she would recommend Tang San to me after he graduates from Yuexuan? For now, you should focus on your studies."

Princess Xueke, being naive and inexperienced, had no idea of ​​the intricacies involved and immediately agreed.

……

After watching Xue Qinghe's carriage leave, Tang Yuehua immediately took Tang San to the top floor.

Tang San said with a look of relief, "Luckily, Uncle had made preparations beforehand, otherwise we would have been exposed."

Xue Qinghe's questions seemed casual, but in reality, they concealed a deadly move.

Tang Yuehua frowned and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince would never have spoken like this before." "Third Brother, have you given him something incriminating?"

Tang San suddenly thought of something and smiled, "Aunt, I think I know the reason."

He knew that Princess Xueke had feelings for him, so he took advantage of the situation.

The eldest brother is like a father, so how could Xue Qinghe, as the elder brother, easily let his younger sister get married?
This questioning can also be considered a form of torture for him.

Hearing this, Tang Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, there is no problem with your identity. However, you must keep your distance from Princess Xueke."

"Once your identity comes into the royal family's view, it will inevitably be exposed in the future."

……

Wu Qi walked for two days, but still hadn't left the forest.

The sheer size of the forest made him wonder if he was currently in an unknown area within the Starry Sky Forest.

You should know that there are many powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and his level 66 soul power is simply not enough to compete with them.

To avoid any accidents and to determine his own location, Wu Qi turned to looking for traces of people nearby.

Whether they are bandits or not, he will always know their location as long as he sees them.

Activating his Azure Phoenix Martial Soul, Wu Qi soared into the sky above the forest, overlooking everything below.

His immense spiritual power granted him extraordinary eyesight, allowing him to see everything around him.

He quickly found the group.

"Damn it, our income has been getting lower and lower ever since we wiped out the bandits."

These three people were none other than the deacons of the local Spirit Hall.

After eliminating the bandits, they received a considerable amount of bonuses and performance rewards.

However, afterwards, the Spirit Hall cut expenses across all its branch halls, resulting in a sharp decline in their income.

If they didn't know that all the Martial Soul Branch Halls were like this, they would suspect that the higher-ups were deliberately withholding their salaries because they had received high bonuses.

"Stop complaining. Lan Ya has already broken through to the Soul Master level. Let's help her hunt for souls first. We also need to speed up our cultivation. If we can break through to the Soul Sect level, our income can increase even further."

Listening to their conversation, Wu Qi roughly understood what was going on.

Bibi Dong spared no effort in raising funds for her Soul Hunting Operation.

Looking at the original timeline, the Spirit Hall also declined during this period.

Insects like Miles likely turned to exploiting the common people because the benefits within the palace were reduced, leading to a sharp drop in their income.

Although the three people in front of me had complaints, it was still clear from their words that they adhered to their bottom line and did not exploit others for money.

Before long, Wu Qi landed in front of the three and pretended to bump into them by chance.

Lan Ya and the other two instinctively showed signs of wariness. "Little brother, this is the Soul Beast Forest. Why are you here?"

"Lan Ya, don't let your guard down. Some powerful individuals may not look very old, but they have actually lived for decades!"

Wu Qi cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I'm lost and don't know where I am. Could you take me out of here?"

As he spoke, he took out a token from his soul tool: "I am from the Spirit Hall Academy, and I have come here to train under the orders of my teacher."
