Chapter 82 Calling Each Other Brothers, Xue Beng's Loss of Composure

Qi Lin looked at Qian Renxue's sincere expression and sighed inwardly.

She's really good at acting. If he couldn't see through her disguise, he would probably also think the person in front of him was truly a Crown Prince who valued talent and was eager to recruit skilled individuals.

Of course, since Qian Renxue was being so nice to him, Qi Lin was willing to give her face.

Qi Lin smiled lazily and said, "Since the Crown Prince has said so, then naturally, I will respectfully obey."

"After all, having a Crown Prince as a friend, wouldn't I be able to walk sideways in Heaven Dou City?"

Qian Renxue laughed heartily, "Haha, since Qi Lin Xiao Di is also willing to make me his friend, then calling me Your Highness from now on would be too formal."

"How about this, Snow Brother is a few years older than you, so you can just call me Snow Brother from now on."

"Alright!"

"Then from now on, please Snow Brother... give me more guidance."

Seeing this, Qian Renxue's eyes flickered, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly.

Now, she had laid a certain foundation for recruiting Qi Lin in the future.

As a peerless genius with no family or other forces behind him, and no vested interest with the Heaven Dou Empire.

So Qian Renxue was basically certain that Qi Lin's feelings for the Heaven Dou Empire were definitely not deep.

In this way, as long as she continued to build a closer relationship with Qi Lin and increase his favorability towards her.

Even if her identity was exposed in the future, Qi Lin would likely stand on her side.

To be fair, before Qian Renxue's love-struck phase, her intelligence and judgment were still top-notch.

The two chatted for a while longer, which was also another test Qian Renxue had for Qi Lin.

To test his views on Spirit Hall.

To Qian Renxue's surprise, Qi Lin seemed to have a rather good impression of Spirit Hall.

After listening, Qian Renxue was quite satisfied with Qi Lin's attitude towards Spirit Hall, but she didn't show it, instead asking with a hint of confusion.

"Since you think highly of Spirit Hall, why didn't you just go to the Spirit Hall Academy to be a teacher?"

Qi Lin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe being a teacher here is more interesting."

After all, here he could meet various characters from the original story.

For example, Dugu Bo, Qian Renxue, and so on. If he went to the Spirit Hall Academy, wouldn't he not meet them?

What kind of reason is that?

Qian Renxue didn't understand Qi Lin's thought process, but she didn't ask further. Instead, as they were about to part, she took out a jade token carved with the Tiandou Royal Family's mark from her waist and handed it to Qi Lin.

"Qi Lin Xiao Di, this jade token is Snow Brother's Crown Prince's token. If some blind fool in Heaven Dou Academy provokes you, hold this token, and you don't need to give face to anyone."

"Of course, besides that, with this token, you can also move freely within the Crown Prince's Residence."

"Snow Brother welcomes your arrival anytime."

Qi Lin took the token and examined it.

The jade token was carved from pure jade and felt very comfortable to the touch.

Tossing the token in his hand, Qi Lin smiled and said, "In that case, then this junior will gladly accept this token."

Qian Renxue smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"Qi Lin Xiao Di, since that's the case, let's end our chat here today."

"To meet you, this young hero, today, I even rushed over without handling my official duties. I hope Qi Lin Xiao Di won't mind the lack of proper hospitality."

From her tone to her demeanor, Qian Renxue's words gave Qi Lin a feeling like bathing in a spring breeze.

No wonder others evaluated him as having the potential of a wise ruler, it was well deserved!

Qi Lin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Official duties are important. Snow Brother, go attend to your matters. It's not like we won't see each other again."

After seeing Qian Renxue off and watching her figure disappear into the distance, Qi Lin returned to his dormitory.

Meanwhile, back at the Crown Prince's Residence, as soon as Qian Renxue sat down, two figures silently appeared beside her.

The two figures were one tall and one short. The tall old man was over two meters tall, looking like a javelin, emitting an invisible sharp aura.

The short old man was of moderate build, looking like an ordinary old man, without the sharp edge of the tall old man.

"Young Master, how do you feel about your contact with this person named Qi Lin?"

"Is he really as monstrous as the secret letter says?"

Beside Qian Renxue, the tall old man said in a deep voice.

"Qi Lin is even more terrifying than what the secret letter says. His talent is so high that even I cannot compare," Qian Renxue said calmly.

"What!" Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, the pupils of both the tall old man and the short old man suddenly contracted, and they said in a deep voice, "Young Master, are you not joking?"

They, the old fellows who had guarded the Young Master for years, knew her talent best.

You must know, the Young Master was only twenty-two years old now, and her soul power level had already reached sixty-six.

Moreover, this was because the Young Master had to be distracted by various trivial matters and didn't have much time for cultivation.

So in their hearts, it was probably not an exaggeration to say that the Young Master's talent was unprecedented.

But now the Young Master actually said that someone's talent was even more terrifying than hers?

How could this be?

Qian Renxue shook her head and said, "I'm not joking. Qi Lin's soul power level is not fifty as stated in the secret letter, but... fifty-eight!"

"Fifty-eight!"

The two old men exclaimed in shock, their faces showing an expression of disbelief.

Fifty-eight at thirteen years old, is this going against the heavens?

They were only around thirty when they were thirteen.

You know, they were both Title Douluo!

After a while, the two who had recovered their senses frowned and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, this person's talent is so terrifying. If he cannot be recruited, it is better to eliminate him as soon as possible."

Qian Renxue smiled slightly upon hearing this, calmly waving her hand.

"No matter, I feel quite compatible with him, recruiting him is just a matter of time."

"What's more, through my subtle probing, I found that not only is he not repulsed by Spirit Hall, he even has a little goodwill towards it."

The two old men nodded upon hearing this.

"That is very good."

Meanwhile, the news of the Crown Prince visiting Qi Lin also spread throughout Heaven Dou Academy.

Heaven Dou Academy, within a palace.

As a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng naturally had a palace exclusively for himself in Heaven Dou Academy.

But at this moment, the palace was not peaceful.

Bang!

A precious blue and white porcelain vase was smashed heavily onto the ground, fragments flying.

"Xue Qinghe, it's Xue Qinghe again!" Xue Beng's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on his forehead. He kicked over a nearby table, letting out a suppressed roar.

"That Qi Lin, he's only thirteen years old and already reached level fifty. If even he defects to Xue Qinghe, how can I compete with Xue Qinghe in the future?"

"Why, why do these geniuses always think so highly of Xue Qinghe?"

"He's just a hypocritical fellow!"

Having said that, he seemed unable to contain his anger and suddenly grabbed a sword from the wall.

In an instant, a chilling light flashed. Xue Beng held the sword and began hacking at the furniture in the palace.

As he shattered a mirror, his distorted face was reflected in the broken shards.

Anger, jealousy, and a hint of undeniable—

Fear!
