This heart palpitation only lasted for an instant before being suppressed by the two of them.
They exchanged an imperceptible glance, then quickly looked away, a hint of confusion in both their eyes.
Sword Douluo, standing nearby, had eyes like lightning; he had clearly sensed something amiss just now, but now he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
He frowned, looking at the two of them strangely.
"Teacher!" Xue Qinghe had already composed himself and respectfully bowed to Ning Fengzhi.
"Qinghe, you're finally here!" Ning Fengzhi didn't notice anything unusual and immediately stood up to help him.
"You've come at a good time, Ye Qiu just arrived not long ago."
Xue Qinghe followed his gaze and looked at Ye Qiu, his eyes calm and clear, as if nothing had happened just now.
Ye Qiu had also already stood up with Ning Fengzhi.
"I am Ye Qiu, greetings, Crown Prince!"
"The monster in Teacher's mouth truly lives up to his reputation; his appearance alone could instantly kill countless young talents."
"Crown Prince, you flatter me!"
Ye Qiu was basically immune to such sugar-coated bullets, and besides, the other party was just speaking the truth. Ye Qiu was quite satisfied with his own appearance, ahem...
"Allow me to formally introduce myself, Xue Qinghe, Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!" Xue Qinghe put away his smile and extended his right hand to Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, a commoner!"
Ye Qiu also extended his right hand and shook his.
"Hmph~"
Both their bodies trembled simultaneously, and they grunted. The other's spirit power was actually surging towards them.
After exchanging a glance, they quickly let go of each other's hands.
Looking at Xue Qinghe's appearance, Ye Qiu found it a bit strange. Is Qian Renxue's disguise ability only this good?
At this moment, Xue Qinghe's face had a slight flush.
He quickly adjusted himself, cursing incessantly in his heart.
What he felt was different from Ye Qiu; besides the change in spirit power, his arm felt numb from the electric sensation.
"Hmm? Qinghe... Is something wrong?"
This time, Ning Fengzhi noticed something amiss. The two people in front of him seemed a bit abnormal, and he looked at them in confusion.
Sword Douluo, standing beside them, was also like this.
"Ah~ Nothing, Teacher! I just suddenly remembered that I seemed to have met Brother Ye Qiu somewhere before, and I got a little excited, that's all." Xue Qinghe's face instantly returned to normal, and he even had the leisure to call Ye Qiu 'brother'.
"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Qiu again.
"Indeed, when I first arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial City more than two months ago, I saw the Crown Prince from afar!"
"Haha~ That blue-haired back carrying a little girl was indeed Brother Ye Qiu! It seems I didn't remember incorrectly."
Upon hearing the other party's explanation, Ye Qiu and the other realized the truth.
Sure enough, the last time his Spirit had acted strangely was also because of the other party; that wasn't an illusion!
"So that's how it is. It seems you two are quite fated."
Ning Fengzhi also nodded. He had never told Xue Qinghe that Ye Qiu had a younger sister. From this point alone, it was clear that the two of them were not lying.
"Alright, let's all sit down and talk!"
"Thank you, Teacher!"
"Thank you, School Master Ning!"
"Hehe... We're all family, no need to be polite."
One could only say that he was indeed a Sect Master; in his words, he made Ye Qiu sound like one of his own, already trying to secure Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu didn't care much about this; it was quite good this way. Rather than leaving it to Tang San, it was better to use it as his own aid.
In the future, if Tang San still tried to win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School by selling Hidden Weapons, then he would first buy a set.
He would draw the blueprints and directly place them in front of Ning Fengzhi; he figured Ning Fengzhi wouldn't be able to refuse.
"Qinghe, how did the matter I entrusted to you last time go?"
"Don't worry, Teacher, Brother Ye Qiu's enrollment has been arranged properly. He can report anytime."
"Then I thank School Master Ning and the Crown Prince in advance!"
"..."
The three of them chatted idly.
Xue Qinghe, disguised by Qian Renxue, was very talkative, and his demeanor exuded a sense of calm and grandeur.
Although Ye Qiu could feel that this person was very cunning, the impression he gave was very comfortable. He didn't have the arrogance of a noble; instead, he appeared approachable.
At the very least, in this regard, he had learned well from Ning Fengzhi.
The three chatted for a long time, during which there was no shortage of subtle probing questions directed at Ye Qiu.
Ning Fengzhi even wanted to keep Xue Qinghe for lunch, but as he had many official duties, he didn't stay.
Ye Qiu and Ning Fengzhi saw him to the door.
"Brother Ye Qiu, I had a great time chatting with you today. In a few days, when you come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, we must find an opportunity to have a good exchange!"
Xue Qinghe looked at Ye Qiu with sincerity, though it was hard to tell how much of it was genuine.
"Don't worry, there will be an opportunity!"
Ye Qiu nodded.
During this contact with Xue Qinghe, their Spirits actually resonated so strongly that it even affected their own bodies.
Therefore, he subconsciously wouldn't resist contact with Xue Qinghe, or rather, Qian Renxue.
"Teacher! Then this student will return to the East Palace. I'll come to pay my respects when I have time!"
"Hmm, go ahead, be careful on the way!" Ning Fengzhi nodded; he was quite satisfied with this disciple.
This was also the bond that connected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Imperial family.
...
On the way back, Xue Qinghe sat in the carriage, staring blankly at his right hand, which was still tingling. His mind was filled with thoughts.
What on earth is that guy's Spirit?
Why did it resonate so intensely with my Seraphim, even causing my body to react!
He, of course, knew what Spirit resonance meant: it was the prerequisite for Spirit Fusion Skill, which most Spirit Masters longed to possess!
However, the records of the Spirit Hall had never mentioned any Spirit that could perform Spirit Fusion Skill with their Qian family's Spirit, simply because they were not worthy.
Because the Seraphim Spirit was a God-bestowed Spirit!
Xue Qinghe frowned and called out.
"Snake Lance!"
"Young Master!" A voice sounded from outside the carriage.
"Speed up, I have an urgent letter to write back!"
"Understood!"
Currently, Ye Qiu might be the first person in history who could perform a Spirit Fusion Skill with the Seraphim Spirit.
He needed to write a letter back to inquire!
Let his grandfather decide!
If such a Spirit, highly compatible with the Seraphim, could be passed down and bound to the Qian family, the benefits to the Qian family would be immeasurable!
On the other side.
Ye Qiu also declined Ning Fengzhi's invitation for lunch.
He had already returned to his residence.
"Xiao Lan~? Still not back yet?"
He called out, found that Xiao Lan hadn't returned, and looking at the empty courtyard, Ye Qiu sat back down in the pavilion.
He propped his chin, thinking about the impulse of his Spirit when he met Xue Qinghe that morning.
'Is it because the two Spirits are very compatible? Spirit Fusion Skill?'
Although he hadn't seen it, he clearly understood the power of Spirit Fusion Skill.
Spirit Fusion Skill was not a simple 1+1=2; rather, it could produce combat power that transcended levels.
Not to mention Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo's Dual Poles Domain.
Just from the two battles: the Golden Triangle fighting Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and the Gai Shi Long She couple versus Chrysanthemum Douluo, one could see how terrifying the increase in a Spirit Master's combat power was from Spirit Fusion Skill!
"I remember that to perform a fusion skill, one seems to need to entrust one's body, mind, and soul to the other party. If that's the case, wouldn't there be great potential?"
Ye Qiu pinched his chin, suddenly feeling that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud wasn't entirely out of reach.
Although the Sea God Position might not be suitable for him, having this item in hand would always be useful, wouldn't it?
'Then again, she already has a God Position inheritance, so she probably doesn't lack such a fusion skill, right?'
'And practicing Spirit Fusion Skill would mean she would have to expose her identity to me.'
"Sigh~" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. Ye Qiu still felt it was better not to daydream.
Compared to trying to seduce Qian Renxue, he still felt it was more reliable to win the Soul Master Competition championship in the future, or to steal it when his strength was sufficient.
More importantly, he was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist her beauty!
Just as Ye Qiu was lost in thought, his heart suddenly ached!
"Hiss~!"
Clutching his chest, he received a memory from Xiao Lan in his mind.
Bang! Ye Qiu suddenly stood up!
"Damn it! Ning Rongrong is still there!"
