Time flies like an arrow, and the days pass like a shuttle.
Nine months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Just after Xiao Chenyu turned 7, his soul power successfully broke through to level 20.
This speed isn't considered fast; he can achieve in one night what others do in three days, and in one year what others do in three years.
According to this logic, his speed is only comparable to Tang San's when he takes a break from his busy schedule.
However, after breaking through level 20, he didn't rush to acquire a spirit ring; in fact, rushing wouldn't have helped anyway.
Even he, an idle person, could tell that something was wrong with the atmosphere inside the Crown Prince's residence.
He already had a guess in his mind that a change of crown prince was about to happen.
That day, while Xiao Chenyu was still engrossed in the books he had obtained for free from the Spirit Hall, Zhang Dong excitedly burst in:
"Young Master! His Highness the Crown Prince is willing to see you!"
They couldn't afford to be so excited. Once they arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, it was as if they were under house arrest. Although they were provided with good food and drink, they had no right to leave the residence.
The fact that His Highness the Crown Prince has summoned me now is surely the beginning of change.
"I understand, I'll go right away."
Xiao Chenyu put down the book in his hand and sighed softly to himself.
After exchanging a few words with Zhang Dong, Xiao Chenyu walked out.
The person who led him to see the Crown Prince was Zhao De, who was also the first to guide him into the Crown Prince's residence from the gate.
After exchanging a few polite words with Zhao De, Xiao Chenyu walked with him toward the Crown Prince's residence.
He found Zhao De quite agreeable; if it weren't for the man's cleverness in attracting Qian Renxue, he wouldn't have had such a comfortable life for the past six months.
"His Highness the Crown Prince is inside. Young Master Xiao, you may go in."
Zhao De led Xiao Chenyu to an elegantly decorated house, his voice full of respect.
"knew."
Xiao Chenyu nodded to him and then walked into the house.
After knocking on the wooden door and hearing a calm "Please come in" from inside, Xiao Chenyu pushed the door open and entered.
What came into Xiao Chenyu's view was an antique-style study, the most eye-catching feature being a mahogany table in the center, surrounded by several matching chairs.
Behind the mahogany table sat a handsome young man, dressed in a light blue robe, giving off a very pleasant feeling.
Without needing an introduction, Xiao Chenyu had already guessed that this must be the current Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, His Highness Xue Qinghe.
"You're Xiao Chenyu? I've heard Qianxue mention you; you're a very talented genius."
Xue Qinghe's voice is very pleasant, and his tone is gentle, making people feel very comfortable.
But upon hearing this, Xiao Chenyu wore a helpless expression.
"Your subject Xiao Chenyu greets Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
That's what he said, but there wasn't much respect in Xiao Chenyu's tone.
"You found out?"
Xue Qinghe's expression fell slightly, and her voice, no longer as gentle as before, sounded dull in her girlish tone.
"Can't you feel it...?"
Xiao Chenyu looked helpless, not to mention that he already knew the other party's true identity.
Even at a distance of only 5 meters, his martial spirit had already begun to issue a warning.
"Yeah, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Xue Qinghe sighed, her expression shifting before she reverted to her blonde-haired girl form, exactly like Qian Renxue.
She had long anticipated that the meeting would turn out this way. Although she hadn't practiced the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Xiao Chenyu many times, she was certain that they would sense each other's presence whenever they got close.
However, the reason for summoning Xiao Chenyu this time was not to hide anything, but for another important matter.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's face slowly turned serious.
Qian Renxue looked earnestly at Xiao Chenyu, her face filled with hope, and said:
"Chen Yu, what do you think of the Heavenly Dou Empire?"
She knew that Xiao Chenyu's answer today would determine her future fate.
This room not only houses the Serpent Spear Douluo, but also a Soul Douluo specializing in mental attacks.
If Xiao Chenyu lies, he will be discovered on the spot.
As long as Xiao Chenyu intends to support the Heaven Dou Empire, he will definitely not step out of this door today.
This is also the Spirit Hall's final test for Xiao Chenyu. Once he passes, his second spirit ring will be personally led by Serpent Spear Douluo.
The Grand Elder has already declared that as long as Xiao Chenyu passes the test, all his future spirit rings will be handled by Serpent Spear Douluo. He can go directly to the Star Dou Great Forest to choose, and if he is not satisfied, he can change them until he is satisfied.
Moreover, whether driven by emotion or reason, Qian Renxue wanted to hear the answer she desired.
"In my opinion..."
Xiao Chenyu didn't think that much about it, but shook his head helplessly and said:
"You don't need to replace Xue Qinghe."
"Um?"
Qian Renxue's expression froze slightly, and the two people in the shadows also frowned slightly.
Before the three could react, Xiao Chenyu analyzed:
"Kill him and replace him, the goal is to seize the Heavenly Dou Empire. But I really don't understand why you have to replace Xue Qinghe, can't someone else do it?"
"Maybe it's just because of my position, I don't trust anyone else anyway."
Qian Renxue's expression was unnatural, but she hadn't expected that Xiao Chenyu was thinking of these things.
Xiao Chenyu curled his lip. Sending one's own future heir to infiltrate the enemy's forces—what kind of heartless move is that?
If your own house gets robbed, you lose everything; there's absolutely no benefit to you.
If he weren't familiar with Qian Renxue, he wouldn't have said these things today, but there are some things he just had to say:
"Then let Xue Qinghe take the position. Don't you have any Soul Masters who can hypnotize? Hypnotize him every day to deepen his impression. I don't believe that when he grows up in 10 years, he won't be loyal to the Spirit Hall."
