Douluo Continent: Divine Oracle Young General, Qian Renxue, please have some self-respect.

Jiang Ci remained unfazed.

"The path of martial spirits, in essence, leads to the same goal, albeit through different means."

"Although my martial spirit is different from Miss Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, I cannot provide guidance in a specific place."

"But these things are definitely more suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's inheritance."

"Providing guidance to Miss Rongrong in other areas is not a problem."

Jiang Ci wasn't particularly interested in taking on apprentices.

However, the conditions offered by Ning Fengzhi made him change his mind.

It's just that I have one more student under my supervision.

With the rebellion quelled and many battles concluded, this Imperial Divine Realm General will finally have some free time.

Taking some time to offer a little guidance wouldn't be a bad idea.

If this could bring more benefits and security to his soldiers, Jiang Ci was willing to accept it.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled with satisfaction.

Slightly cupping hands in a bow:

"Then thank you, General Oracle."

Immediately, he glanced back at his daughter and spoke up to remind her:

"Rongrong, why aren't you paying your respects to your teacher?"

Ning Fengzhi's desire for Jiang Ci to take Ning Rongrong as his disciple was not because he wanted Jiang Ci to teach Ning Rongrong how to cultivate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

They simply hoped to improve relations between the two sides.

Jiang Ci is the Imperial Oracle General.

Beyond his dazzling titles, he also wields real power and possesses formidable strength.

Putting aside Jiang Ci's cultivation level as a Soul Douluo at only twenty years old and his future prospects, the forces under his command are an absolutely undeniable force.

Who doesn't know about the Heavenly Battle? Under the command of the Divine Oracle General is the Divine Oracle Army.

Although numbering only three thousand, they were more intimidating than any army in the empire.

Because this Divine Oracle Army is not an ordinary army.

It is the only army in the Heaven Dou Empire composed entirely of Soul Masters!

Because of Jiang Ci's outstanding military achievements, Emperor Xue Ye of Tian Dou granted him the authority to command a private army of 5,000.

However, these three thousand Divine Oracle soldiers were not formed by the imperial family.

They all came from various parts of mainland China and were personally organized by Jiang Ci.

It can be said that they only heed the general's orders and disregarded the emperor's decrees.

Fortunately, Xueye was already quite old, and his vigor had been worn down by more than half.

He was only focused on winning over Jiang Ci and had no intention of confronting him.

Otherwise, if it were any other emperor at the height of his power, he would never have allowed such an army to exist under his command that did not obey him.

The young Ning Rongrong was unaware of the intricacies involved.

She had no objection to her father's suggestion to become his apprentice.

After all, the other party was none other than her brother, the Divine Oracle General.

He was the dream lover of countless noble ladies and women throughout the Heavenly Dou Empire!

She had often heard her senior sisters in the sect speak of this young general of the Divine Oracle with great admiration and fervor.

She felt honored to be able to become his apprentice.

After all, countless Soul Masters in the entire Heaven Dou Empire yearn to become disciples of the Divine Oracle Young General.

Therefore, at her father Ning Fengzhi's prompting, Ning Rongrong did not resist at all, and quickly cupped her hands and bowed, performing a proper apprenticeship ceremony:

"Disciple Ning Rongrong greets Master."

As she spoke, the girl poured a cup of tea from a teapot and offered it to the master as a formal apprenticeship tea ceremony.

Jiang Ci accepted the teacup, thus concluding the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Congratulations to the young general on taking on his beloved disciple."

As the absolute center of the banquet, Jiang Ci naturally attracted everyone's attention.

This scene also came into their view.

Some astute ministers offered their congratulations.

On one side is the rising star of the empire, the young general of Oracle, a pillar of the military who has already surpassed Goron.

On the other side is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, currently the largest Soul Master force in the empire.

Each of them is someone they must curry favor with.

Being courteous naturally involves offering gifts.

Ning Rongrong was somewhat at a loss in this situation, but Jiang Ci was quite adept at it.

After he first distinguished himself in the military, he had seen far too many instances of such obsequious flattery.

They handled it with ease.

After returning from toasting, Prince Xuexing patted Xue Beng on the shoulder and gave him a look.

Avalanche understood immediately and followed him out of the hall.

We arrived at a quiet, secluded courtyard.

Xuexing waved.

In the darkness, several figures disappeared into the four corners of the courtyard.

After doing all this, Xuexing glanced at the avalanche, then looked at it sideways and said meaningfully:

"See that?"

"Hmm." Avalanche took a sip of the drink in his glass.

Although he usually acts like a spoiled brat who knows nothing, he is actually not stupid.

Jiang Ci understood all too well what it meant for Ning Rongrong to become his disciple.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School held one of the highest positions in the imperial court.

Furthermore, by joining forces with Jiang Ci, whose military group is at its peak, their combined influence in the Heaven Dou Empire will undoubtedly reach an extremely terrifying level.

"Some members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are taking this opportunity to get closer to Jiang Ci. Now, this young general may truly be able to claim the title of having immense power over the court."

Even Father...

The avalanche wasn't fully explained, but the meaning was already quite clear.

What follows may seem outrageous, but it is indeed the truth.

Even the Heavenly Emperor Xue Ye would probably not be able to easily subdue this Divine Oracle General at this moment.

"Do you know why His Majesty hasn't made a move?" Xuexing narrowed her eyes slightly and downed the sake in her cup in one gulp.

Why?

"Because His Majesty understands that General Divine Oracle has no interest in that position."

"The Oracle General's talent in leading troops and his talent in soul mastering are exactly what the Empire is currently lacking."

"So His Majesty made a huge gamble, allowing this Oracle General to grow in power within the empire without taking any action."

"Going a step further, His Majesty has actually already made a decision."

"The most important factor in determining who gets that position may never lie with you and Xue Qinghe themselves, but rather..."

Xuexing's lips curled slightly, and she uttered the conclusion that horrified Xue Beng.

"That Oracle General."

"His Majesty's actions have already demonstrated this."

"The prince who can gain the support of that divine general is probably the one who will hold that position in the future."

"This..." Xue Beng swallowed hard and asked with some difficulty.

"Uncle, isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?"

"Does Father truly value that person to such an extent?"

Prince Xuexing did not answer, but instead asked, "What do you think?"

"..."

silent.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that everything is traceable.

Immediately, the avalanche showed a bitter expression:

"But Uncle, he doesn't seem very interested in me?"

He was a highly sought-after young leader in the military.

He had obviously been recruited by Avalanche beforehand.

However, the response was lukewarm.

He could sense that Jiang Ci was not interested in him, and even seemed to have a slight aversion to him.

Therefore, this speculation doesn't seem to be a good thing for him...
