Chapter 19 An Encounter with Xue Qinghe
"Achoo!"
Ma Hongjun sneezed and, amidst the swaying, lifted the curtain at the window. The pitch-black wilderness seemed like a ferocious beast capable of devouring everything, with not a glimmer of light in sight.
After taking a bite of the prepared pancake, Ma Hongjun opened his cup, drank some water, and swallowed the pancake along with it.
"The first day I miss Brother Mo."
"It hurts!"
……
Wuhun City.
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong stared at the two intelligence reports on the table, lost in thought, a hint of anger flashing across her perfect face.
"A Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power, surnamed Tang, six years old, it seems quite a coincidence."
Her fair, delicate hands began to clench, and the bluish veins bulged slightly through her skin.
"So six years have already passed."
Bibi Dong looked somewhat distraught, then a sinister smile appeared on her face.
Tang Hao's son is a genius, that's really good. Another person has been added to the list of those who will destroy the Spirit Hall.
"There's also Dugu Bo's newly recruited disciple, who was taken from the children brought by the Flying Horn of the Golden Triangle. He actually snatched them directly from the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong flew into a rage, then her face fell with sorrow as she touched her face in self-pity.
"Just warn him not to do it again next time, Xiaogang, where are you?"
In the desolate yet luxurious room, Bibi Dong sat on a velvet chair, lost in sorrow.
……
More than ten days passed in this manner, with Xie Mo shuttling back and forth between the Dugu and Ye families.
Dugu Yan always stayed with Ye Lingling, so he followed along. The two girls took turns teaching him, and he practiced the Five Spirit King's skills at the Ye family, learning to control his soul power output so that he wouldn't weaken after only a few skills.
Moreover, with Ye Wuyou's treatment, he didn't need to worry about any hidden injuries and could practice as much as he wanted.
In the evening, she would go home with Dugu Yan to have dinner with Dugu Bo. Sometimes Dugu Bo would also come to the Ye family's house for a free meal. Overall, life was quite leisurely, busy but fulfilling.
"Xiao Mo, don't cultivate today. Lingling and I will take you out to buy clothes."
After finishing breakfast, Dugu Yan took two steps back, looked Xie Mo up and down, and then spoke.
"Clothes? Didn't we already buy those?"
Confusion appeared in Xie Mo's eyes. Although Flander was stingy, he had still bought two pieces of clothing for him and Ma Hongjun on the way here.
Later, seeing that he only had a few pieces of clothing, Dugu Yan took him shopping. It took her a long time to choose a few clothes that she thought were suitable. Xie Mo gently persuaded her, and she returned home with a few clothes, quite regretfully.
"Those are just everyday clothes. You're going to make your official appearance in front of other forces soon, so you need a few more formal clothes. Besides, I just picked out a few for you last time. It's all your fault for stopping me."
Dugu Yan pouted in dissatisfaction and stepped forward to rub Xie Mo's head.
"I'm only six years old, how formal can it be?"
Xie Mo's face fell. It wasn't that he didn't want to go shopping with Dugu Yan; it was just that she was too slow in choosing clothes. Sometimes she would change more than a dozen outfits in an hour, but in the end, she wouldn't buy the last one.
Moreover, the exhilarating feeling of increased power after cultivation was somewhat addictive to him.
Extraordinary power! What man could resist the temptation to become extraordinary? How dare a mere woman disturb his resolve?
Tian Dou Street is the largest commercial street in Tian Dou City. It is said that the owners of this area are the royal family, which is why they dare to give it such a name.
And it lived up to its name as the Heavenly Battle, with a surging crowd jostling around it. Xie Mo forced a smile as Dugu Yan pulled him through the flow of people.
After several twists and turns, we arrived at a small shop. There was no sign outside, and curious tourists stood not far away, looking at it suspiciously, hesitating whether to go in and find out.
Dugu Yanhe took out a black card and handed it to the smiling doorman by the door. The doorman glanced at the label and name on it, and his smile became even more respectful.
Ye Lingling remained silent, wearing a white veil and simply following behind Dugu Yan.
Led by the doorman, the three entered a corridor. Just before going in, they caught a glimpse of the tourists who had hesitated earlier being stopped at the door, looking annoyed.
"Why open a shop like this on this street?"
Xie Mo was a little confused. Shouldn't it be placed in that quiet and secluded alley? Why are you blocking passersby every day? Isn't this just deliberately annoying people?
"Is it to make us stand out from the crowd? Is it that others can't get in, but only we can?"
There was also some uncertainty in Dugu Yan's words.
"Understood."
That's what it means to be a true hermit in the city—it's all about sophistication.
After several twists and turns, they followed the two into a small room. It seemed that this was not Dugu Yan's first time here, as she moved quite skillfully.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a luxurious and soft carpet, with a faint fragrance permeating the air. Several sheets of paper are placed on a red sandalwood table, while numerous fabrics hang on three walls, and tools are displayed on another wall.
The room was filled with bright yellow light, which made people subconsciously slow their footsteps and straighten their bodies slightly.
"Let's take his measurements first, and then Lingling and I will choose the fabric."
Dugu Yan pushed Xie Mo toward the woman behind the table, then pulled Ye Lingling to the wall next to them to pick out suitable fabric.
"Yes, Miss Dugu, Miss Ye."
The woman chuckled softly, swaying her hips as she emerged from behind the table, her cheongsam perfectly showcasing her graceful figure.
The woman took a measuring tape off the wall, bent down, and a delicate fragrance wafted towards Xie Mo.
Looking at the other person's towering breasts, Xie Mo's face turned bright red. It was his first time seeing this from this angle, and he was a little nervous.
Xie Mo obediently let the woman do as she pleased, while Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling whispered to each other and picked out clothes. With a soft sound, the door opened again, and a young man was brought in by the doorman.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Even Dugu Yan bowed respectfully to the young man before her. Only Xie Mo was slightly stunned until the other man winked at him before he followed Dugu Yan's example and bowed as well.
"No need for formalities. I am just an ordinary person today. Please treat me as such."
"And also, Xie Mo, right? This is my token."
Now it was Xie Mo's turn to wink at Xue Qinghe.
"There are etiquette instructors in the palace who are responsible for teaching etiquette. Your apprenticeship ceremony this time was mainly organized by the Heaven Dou Empire, so Your Majesty is quite busy."
"Furthermore, the manner you just used was the manner a woman uses when bowing; you don't need to do that next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Mo's face flushed red, feeling a slight burning sensation on his cheeks as the woman performed her curtsy...
"Xiao Mo, please accept this. It is His Highness the Crown Prince's kind offer."
Dugu Yan broke the awkward silence with her voice. It was partly her fault, really. She had been so busy teaching him to read these past few days that she hadn't taught him basic manners since they weren't used at home.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"I've already said that I'm just an ordinary person today, just call me Brother Qinghe."
Xue Qinghe looked at Xie Mo's round head and couldn't help but go forward and rub it.
The woman next to him had a very respectful expression on her face. It was clear that she had received rigorous training and would never laugh easily.
"Brother Qinghe, what brings you here today?"
Xie Mo's eyes flickered. He didn't believe it was a coincidence that Qian Renxue had just stepped out and then bumped into him here.
