This palpitation lasted only a moment before being suppressed by the two.
They exchanged a fleeting glance, then quickly looked away, a hint of doubt in their eyes.
The Sword Douluo beside them had sharp eyes; he had clearly sensed something amiss just now, but now he couldn't pinpoint what the problem was.
He frowned, looking at the two strangely.
"Teacher!" Xue Qinghe had recovered and respectfully bowed to Ning Fengzhi.
"Qinghe, you've finally arrived!" Ning Fengzhi, completely oblivious to the earlier unease, stood up and helped him up.
"You've come at the right time; Ye Qiu just arrived as well."
Following his gaze, Xue Qinghe looked towards Ye Qiu, his eyes calm and clear, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Qiu had already stood up with Ning Fengzhi.
"I am Ye Qiu, greetings to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"The prodigy my teacher spoke of truly lives up to his reputation; his appearance alone could easily outshine countless young talents."
"Your Highness flatters me!"
Ye Qiu was largely immune to such sweet talk, and besides, the other party was simply stating the truth. Ye Qiu was quite satisfied with his appearance, cough cough.
"Let me formally introduce myself, Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!" Xue Qinghe's smile faded, and he extended his right hand to Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, a commoner!"
Ye Qiu also extended his right hand, shaking it with his.
"Hmph~"
Both of them shuddered simultaneously, letting out a muffled groan as the other's soul power surged towards them.
After exchanging a glance, they quickly released each other's hands.
Looking at Xue Qinghe's expression, Ye Qiu felt a little strange. Was this all Qian Renxue's disguise was?
At this moment, Xue Qinghe's face flushed slightly. He
quickly adjusted himself, inwardly cursing.
What he felt was different from Ye Qiu's; besides the change in soul power, his arm was numb from the electric shock.
"Hmm? Qinghe... what's wrong?"
This time, Ning Fengzhi noticed something amiss. The two people in front of him seemed a bit off, and he looked at them with suspicion.
The Sword Douluo beside him was the same.
"Ah~ nothing, teacher! I just suddenly remembered that I seem to have seen Brother Ye Qiu somewhere before, and I was just a little excited." Xue Qinghe's expression instantly returned to normal, and he even had the leisure to call Ye Qiu his brother.
"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Qiu again.
"Indeed, more than two months ago when I first came to the Heaven Dou Imperial City, I saw His Highness the Crown Prince from afar!"
"Haha~ that blue-haired figure holding a little girl was indeed Brother Ye Qiu! It seems I didn't remember wrong."
Hearing the other's explanation, Ye Qiu and Xue Qinghe understood.
Sure enough, the strange thing about their martial souls last time was because of the other party; it wasn't a hallucination!
"I see. It seems you two are quite destined."
Ning Fengzhi nodded as well. He had never told Xue Qinghe that Ye Qiu had a younger sister, and from this alone, he knew that the two of them were not lying.
"Alright, everyone, let's sit down and talk!"
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Thank you, Sect Leader Ning!"
"Hehe. We're all on the same side, no need to be so polite."
It's safe to say that the sect leader is indeed worthy of being called one of their own; he's already trying to win Ye Qiu over.
Ye Qiu doesn't mind much; it's fine this way. Rather than leaving it to Tang San, it's better to use it as an asset.
In the future, if Tang San continues to use the sale of hidden weapons to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he'll buy a set first.
He'll draw up the blueprints and present them directly to Ning Fengzhi; he figured Ning Fengzhi wouldn't be able to refuse.
"Qinghe, how's the matter I asked you to handle last time?"
"Don't worry, teacher, Brother Ye Qiu's enrollment has been arranged, and he can report at any time."
"Then I thank Sect Leader Ning and His Highness the Crown Prince in advance!"
"..."
The three chatted idly.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was very talkative, giving off a composed and magnanimous air.
Although Ye Qiu could sense that this person was very shrewd, he gave people a very comfortable feeling and did not have the arrogance of a nobleman. Instead, he seemed approachable.

At least in this respect, he had learned a lot from Ning Fengzhi.
The three chatted for a long time, during which
Ning Fengzhi subtly probed Ye Qiu. Ning Fengzhi even wanted Xue Qinghe to stay for lunch, but he was busy with official duties and couldn't stay.
Ye Qiu and Ning Fengzhi saw him to the door.
"Brother Ye Qiu, I had a very pleasant chat with you today. In a few days, when you come to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, we should find an opportunity to have a good exchange!"
Xue Qinghe looked at Ye Qiu with a sincere expression, though it was hard to tell how genuine it was.
"Don't worry, there will be an opportunity!"
Ye Qiu nodded.
This time, his martial souls resonated so strongly with Xue Qinghe that it even affected them.
Therefore, subconsciously, he wasn't too resistant to contacting Xue Qinghe, or rather, Qian Renxue.
"Teacher! Then this student will return to the East Palace. I'll come to say hello again when I have time!"
"Okay, go ahead, be careful on the road!" Ning Fengzhi nodded, quite satisfied with this disciple.
This was also the link between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the royal family.
...
On the way out, Xue Qinghe sat in the carriage, staring blankly at his right hand, which was still a little numb, his mind filled with thoughts.
What exactly was that guy's martial soul?
Why did it resonate so intensely with my Six-Winged Angel, even causing my body to react!
He certainly knew what martial soul resonance meant; it was the prerequisite for the martial soul fusion skill that most soul masters longed to possess!
However, the records of the Martial Soul Hall never mentioned any martial soul that could perform a martial soul fusion skill with their Qian family's martial soul, simply because they were unworthy.
Because the Six-Winged Angel martial soul was a divinely bestowed martial soul!
Xue Qinghe frowned and called out to the outside.
"Serpent Spear!"
"Young Master!" A voice rang out from outside the carriage.
"Speed up, I have urgent business to write back!"
"Understood!"
Now, Ye Qiu might be the first person in history to be able to perform a martial soul fusion skill with the Six-Winged Angel martial soul.
He needed to write a letter back to inquire!
Let his grandfather decide!
This martial soul, so perfectly compatible with the six-winged angel, if it could be passed down and bound to the Qian family, would bring immeasurable benefits!
Meanwhile,
Ye Qiu declined Ning Fengzhi's invitation to lunch.
He had already returned to his residence.
"Little Blue~? Still not back?"
He called out, but finding Little Blue hadn't returned, he looked at the empty courtyard and sat back down in the pavilion.
Resting his chin on his hand, he pondered the impulse his martial soul had felt when he encountered Xue Qinghe that morning.
'Was it because the two martial souls were so perfectly compatible? A martial soul fusion skill?'
Although he hadn't seen one, he knew very well the power of martial soul fusion skills.
A martial soul fusion skill wasn't simply 1+1=2; it could generate combat power that transcended levels.
Leaving aside the dual static domains of Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo,
just the battles between the Golden Iron Triangle and Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and the battles between the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple and Chrysanthemum Douluo, showed just how terrifyingly powerful a martial soul fusion skill could be in boosting a soul master's combat strength!
"I remember that to perform a fusion technique, one seems to need to surrender one's body, mind, and soul to the other. If that's the case, wouldn't that be incredibly useful?"
Ye Qiu stroked his chin, suddenly realizing that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover wasn't entirely out of the question.
Although the Sea God's position might not be suitable for him, having this thing in hand would always be useful! Right?
'On the other hand, she already has a divine inheritance, so she shouldn't lack such a fusion technique, right?'
'Moreover, practicing a martial soul fusion technique means she has to expose her identity to me.'
"Sigh~" Thinking of these things, he couldn't help but sigh. Ye Qiu decided not to daydream.
Compared to seducing Qian Renxue, he felt it was more reliable to win the Soul Master Competition or steal it later when he had the strength.
More importantly, he was also afraid he wouldn't be able to resist beauty!
Just as Ye Qiu was lost in his fantasies, a sudden pain shot through his chest!
"Hiss~!"
Clutching his chest, he received a memory from Xiao Lan in his mind.
Thump! Ye Qiu suddenly stood up!
"Damn it! Ning Rongrong is still there!"
