Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 78 Being Targeted by the Spirit Hall

A secret messenger brought news that the woman wanted to recruit a young man named Chen Xuan, who happened to be in Tiandou City.

Therefore, it was decided to send Qian Renxue, who was far away in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and was also the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, to contact Chen Xuan to find out his will and whether he was loyal to the Heaven Dou Empire.

In the letter, Bibi Dong had high hopes for this young man and made it clear that if he remained loyal to Tian Dou, there was no need for him to stay in this world.

This is very much like Bibi Dong, and also very much like the Spirit Hall. When they encounter a promising talent, they personally nurture him, but if he cannot be used by the Spirit Hall, then they can only kill him as soon as possible.

Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, thoroughly disgusted by that woman's behavior. At the same time, she couldn't understand how Bibi Dong, who was far away in Wuhun City, knew about Chen Xuan.

Indeed, someone who possesses a ten-thousand-year soul ring at the fourth level is a genius, but judging from his performance in the preliminaries, Brother Chen doesn't seem to have any particularly outstanding achievements.

Qian Renxue gave her a cold look. She really didn't know what that woman was thinking. Since that woman knew Chen Xuan from a thousand miles away, she should have understood his normal behavior. Why was this woman so concerned?

The reason for all this dates back to a month ago.

Back then, when Chen Xuan went to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his fourth spirit ring, he encountered a group from the Spirit Hall and had a brief exchange with the Holy Maiden Hu Liena, revealing many of his trump cards.

When he finally left, his ability to teleport instantly, traversing three hundred meters of space, left the Wu Hun group completely astonished.

After returning, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan reported the matter to His Holiness the Pope in detail, believing that Chen Xuan was a rare genius who might be useful to the Spirit Hall.

The investigation at Juhua Pass revealed that Chen Xuan's background was very clean. His parents passed away when he was young, and he lived with his younger sister at his uncle's house.

Only then did Pope Bibi Dong send a message to Qian Renxue, instructing her daughter to contact Chen Xuan as the Crown Prince to ascertain his background and whether he was loyal to the Heaven Dou Empire.

"I happen to be going to Shrek Academy tomorrow, Qinghe. Why don't you come with me?" Ning Fengzhi said.

"Then thank you in advance, teacher." Xue Qinghe stood up, bowed, and performed a gesture of respect between nobles.

Tiandou City

At night, Tiandou City is brightly lit, with the streets bustling with people, a lively and prosperous scene.

Chen Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing walked side by side on a bustling street, having just left a fish restaurant.

After dinner, since it was still early and there was no rush to go back, the two strolled around the streets, chatting and enjoying the night view.

"Dai Mubai is proud and impulsive by nature, you don't need to bother with him," Zhu Zhuqing suddenly said, her voice clear and pleasant.

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, feeling taken aback, before he came to his senses and realized that this was an apology on behalf of Dai Mubai.

It seems that their relationship is actually quite good, not as bad as it appears.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I didn't take it to heart," Chen Xuan said with a faint smile.

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this." Zhu Zhuqing felt guilty and still felt bad.

Chen Xuan remained silent. No wonder Da Zhuqing invited him to dinner tonight; now he understood. He just didn't know if she was representing herself or Dai Mubai.

"It's alright, it's not your fault. I should be the one apologizing, since the problem originated with me," Chen Xuan said, after all, the whole thing really did start because of him.

Zhu Zhuqing is a stunningly beautiful woman with a perfect figure, upright character, and a wonderful personality. She's just a bit cold. When she falls in love, she's incredibly devoted, and no man could resist being moved by her.

To be honest, Chen Xuan did have some feelings for Da Zhuqing, but he never intended to ruin someone else's relationship or interfere, even though it was legal, it was still unethical.

If Zhu Zhuqing were unmarried and single, he would most likely try to pursue her.

"What are you thinking about?" Zhu Zhuqing looked at him with her beautiful eyes, somewhat speechless, lost in thought as she walked.

"I was thinking, if Dai Mubai finds out you invited me to dinner, will he come after me again? He's so strong, I can't handle him, it's terrifying," Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Given the white tiger's impulsive nature, it might mistake this invitation for a date, go berserk again, and attack him.

"Pretending to be innocent? With your strength, you wouldn't be afraid." Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly, her lips red and teeth white, like a flower blooming in spring, beautiful and charming.

Chen Xuan froze on the spot, as if petrified, his gaze gradually becoming blank.

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, unable to bear being stared at by those burning eyes.

Chen Xuan stared blankly, then mumbled, "So you can laugh too!"

"You're asking for it!"

Zhu Zhuqing was speechless and wanted to roll her eyes. Anyone would laugh at her for being treated like an emotionless machine.

Chen Xuan snapped out of his daze and said bluntly, "Really, you have a beautiful smile. It's like a smile that melts an iceberg. It's a pleasure to look at."

He spoke the truth and I didn't feel there was any exaggeration involved.

Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly and immediately turned her head away, worried that she would be seen.

"You're such a chatterbox!" she scolded playfully, trying to hide her fluttering heart.

Normally, Zhu Zhuqing has a cold and aloof demeanor, rarely smiling, like an iceberg, giving people a feeling of keeping people at a distance.

Even she herself didn't know why, but she always felt relaxed and comfortable when she was with Chen Xuan, without any sense of oppression, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Within her family, she felt suffocated by oppression, living in a place of intrigue and undercurrents every day, until she came to Shrek Academy and felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her back to Chen Xuan, so no one could see what her expression was like.

"She won't get angry after just a few words, will she?" Chen Xuan muttered to himself, clearly sensing her unusual behavior; something was off.

The two walked for more than ten minutes away from the bustling city center and returned to Shrek Academy.

When Chen Xuan arrived at the gate of Shrek Academy, he stopped and did not go down.

Zhu Zhuqing walked ahead, and soon the sound of footsteps faded away, so she stopped.

"I'll leave you here. I need to go back. I won't be staying at the academy tonight," Chen Xuan said.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had returned to her usual aloof demeanor and turned to face Chen Xuan.

She remained silent, and for some reason, she felt somewhat uncomfortable and uneasy.

Even she herself couldn't understand it. Was it because she was reluctant to part with it?

Chen Xuan reached for the storage soul tool at his waist, took out an item, and it immediately emitted a bright green light, illuminating the dim doorway.

"I promised you a gift, remember?"

Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, her pupils contracted, and her eyes were filled with horror.

Of course she remembered that Chen Xuan had said he would give her a soul bone, but a month had passed without any news, so she didn't take it seriously and just thought it was a joke.

Chen Xuan said solemnly, "This is a 25,000-year-old Wind Chaser's right leg bone, which can amplify speed, making it very suitable for you."

"Twenty-five thousand years?" Zhu Zhuqing's red lips parted slightly, utterly astonished and somewhat incredulous.

Soul bones are rare, and ten-thousand-year-old soul bones are even rarer. Every ten-thousand-year-old soul bone that falls into the soul master world will cause a bloodbath. It can be said that they are priceless and hard to buy.

If it's a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone that's suitable for a soul master's attributes, it's extremely difficult to find; they're almost impossible to find, and even if they exist, they've already been snatched away by powerful forces.

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it!"

Zhu Zhuqing politely declined, as the gift was far too valuable and she would feel uneasy accepting it; she had no reason to accept it.
