Chapter 57 Crown Prince Xue Qinghe
That morning, while Yang Podi was cultivating at home, his father suddenly sent someone to call him to the hall. Apparently, a distinguished guest was coming to visit, and he and Yang Ping'an were to attend together.
Yang Podi pondered to himself, among the few people he knew, only those from the four families, and they wouldn't need to announce their arrival. So who would come to visit him?
When Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an arrived at the hall, it was quite solemn, with their father, mother, and two grandfathers all present.
Sitting opposite him was a blond young man. Although he was slightly thin, he looked gentle and refined, and spoke with great eloquence. In particular, he seemed to exude an air of nobility and stood out from the crowd. He even wore a golden headband and his clothes were also gold, inlaid with gemstones, making him look very noble.
After the two entered the hall, Grandpa Yang Wudi personally introduced them: "Podi, Ping'an, come and pay your respects. This is His Highness Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
The two quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Highness, these two are my grandsons, named Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an, and they are exactly 12 years old this year."
Xue Qinghe waved his hand very elegantly: "You two don't need to be so polite. I'm here to pay you a visit."
"May I ask what brings Your Highness to visit my Po clan? Has my two sons gotten into some trouble?"
"Clan Chief Yang, you flatter me. The main reason for this visit is that Qinghe has just taken over the Tiandou Royal Academy. I heard that the disciples of the four single-attribute families have just reached the age for enrollment, so I specially invited the young talents of the four families to study at my Tiandou Royal Academy."
Yang Wudi hesitated, "Your Highness, this is not appropriate. Our Po clan is not a noble family, and the two children are used to being naughty. I'm afraid they won't adapt to studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Clan Chief Yang is far too modest. As long as the disciples of the Po Clan enroll in my Heaven Dou Royal Academy, my Heaven Dou Royal Academy will do its utmost to cultivate them and absolutely guarantee their safety."
"Qinghe has already visited the Power Clan, the Agility Clan, and the Royal Clan. Their disciples, Tailong, Bai Xiaofei, and Niu Meng, have all agreed to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
Yang Podi was shocked when he heard these words. There was no such operation in the original work. In the original work, Tailong studied at Lanba Academy. Xue Qinghe never invited Tailong to join Tiandou Royal Academy.
Could it be because of me? All four single-attribute families are now located near Heaven Dou City, and the four families have always had a good relationship, so it can be basically confirmed that they are allies. The four families together have at least seven Soul Douluos on the surface, or even more, and the number of Soul Masters exceeds one thousand, which is more than the number of Elephant Armor Sect among the four lower sects.
Was Xue Qinghe's visit intended to win over the four single-attribute families or to confirm their stance? Furthermore, given the current timeline, this Xue Qinghe is likely now Qian Renxue in disguise, which makes things even more complicated.
If I rashly join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it would be tantamount to siding with the Heaven Dou royal family. Would Xue Qinghe hold a grudge and then try to involve me in the Soul Hunting Operation? If I refuse, I will offend the Heaven Dou Empire.
Before Yang Podi could even process what was happening, his grandfather asked, "Podi, Ping'an, have you two considered studying at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"
Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "You two can rest assured that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy will provide sufficient resources to nurture you."
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "Your Highness, I also really want to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but I really can't bear to leave my younger sister."
Hearing this, the two grandfathers and parents were a little surprised: You have always cultivated on your own. Although you have a good relationship with Tian Yue, how could you not go to Tian Dou Royal Academy because of Tian Yue?
Xue Qinghe still smiled and said, "That would be even better. Anyone who awakens their martial soul can enroll in our Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Your sister is exceptionally talented, so why don't you join our Heaven Dou Royal Academy together?"
Yang Podi couldn't help but complain: I originally wanted to use my sister as an excuse, but if I dragged her into it too, wouldn't that ruin the whole family?
"Your Highness, my younger sister is still too young to leave our family. I am willing to study at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy."
Yang Ping'an, who was standing to the side, immediately nodded in agreement.
After some discussion, Yang Podi and Yang Ping'an decided to study at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, perhaps overwhelmed with matters, returned home immediately after discussing the enrollment arrangements, without even having lunch.
Everyone was curious when they saw that Yang Podi seemed a little absent-minded.
Mother Niu Jinfeng spoke up: "Son, what's wrong? Are you unhappy because you're leaving home to study at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy? Don't worry, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is less than 40 kilometers away from our Po Clan. We'll visit you regularly, and you can come home to play often."
"Mom, do I really have to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Can't I choose not to go or go to another advanced Soul Master academy?"
"That's not a good idea. Don't worry, it's not like you're going alone. Besides, the other three major families are also going. It's good for you to exchange ideas with each other."
Seeing that the situation was beyond redemption, Yang Podi had no choice but to go back and continue his cultivation.
Back in his room, Yang Podi began to think about his future plans.
First of all, this imposter Xue Qinghe cannot be offended for the time being. The power behind him is too strong. If he is offended, who knows if he might send someone to attack him to eliminate any future troubles. No matter what attitude he takes towards him, it seems a bit inappropriate.
Secondly, he has become quite familiar with his Crocodile King Spear recently, but the external soul bone does not seem to have fully integrated into his body and has not formed a whole with his bones. It seems that he needs to rely on external forces to fuse with it, just like Tang San did.
Finally, with my current strength, breaking through to the Soul Master level in two years shouldn't be a problem. But if I were to participate in the Soul Master Competition then, should I go or not? If my strength and talent were exposed, I might become a target of the Spirit Hall, which would be troublesome.
Another point is about the two immortal herbs, Ice and Fire Yin and Yang. When should I obtain them? I feel there's still a certain danger with my current strength. Tang San can only refine them with his Mysterious Heaven Skill, but I don't have any cultivation techniques. If I mess things up, I'm finished.
Yang Podi is not opposed to going to an advanced soul master academy, but he hasn't figured out how to deal with this imposter Xue Qinghe yet, as if nothing he does is right.
