Hanrui, Gu Yuena, Xue Li and his parents started to leave the hall as Xue Qinghe guided them to their quarters.
As the night breeze ruffled his hair, Hanrui looked at his grandmother.
"So,Nainai care to explain why you pulled this stunt? You know I don't like politics." he said as he held Gu Yuena's hand in his while walking in the direction of their quarters.
Xue Li showed a mock hurt emotion as she looked at her grandson,as if she would tear up the next second. "Rui'er doesn't like my gift?"
Seeing her act like that, Hanrui pouted and poked her cheek in dissatisfaction but a small smile appeared at the corner of his mouth seeing her act like a teenage princess.
"It's not that I don't like it. It's that I don't like to deal with so many people, I'd rather spend that time researching or playing with my future wife's.
Besides, being a prince puts me on the same level of status as a certain garbage. So I'm not particularly mad about it." He said.
Seeing his mother act like a spoiled princess for once Wu Tian who is walking by the side teared up.
'It's been so long since mother behaved this free. It seems mother finally feels free of the past.' He thought.
Hearing her grandson's answer, Xue Li started laughing while covering her mouth with her hand.
"That's so like you, Rui'er. But this is the best way you can get your plans to motion without any hindrance. And this is the best I could give you." Xue Li said.
Qian Renxue seeing them talk while completely ignoring her felt her mouth twitch.
As they were moving to their quarters Somewhere else in heaven dou city three people, two old man and one young boy are leaving in a carriage.
"Brother, you are saying we should not do anything to get back at him? Why? He is just a mere Prince. It means nothing if he died unexpectedly." One of them said to the other man.
"Luomian you are being hasty and reckless, that's not like you. Can't you see? That boy isn't the only problem, there is princess Xue Li who I might barely be able to defeat. Even that is not a certain fact.
Then there is that silver haired woman, she is a monster, I don't think i can even fight her let alone defeat her.
If we go against him then our clan might disappear and no one will even notice until a few days later." Yu Yuanzhen said to his younger brother.
Hearing his proud brother/grandfather admit he couldn't beat someone both Yu Luomian and Yu Tianheng looked at him with disbelief.
"Forget it. We shouldn't be thinking about this. Besides, don't you think that boy's martial soul reminds you of something?" Yu Yuanzhen sighed looking at them as he continued speaking.
Yu Luomian and Yu Tianheng looked thoughtful as they listened, then they thought of someone at the same time.
"Brother you don't mean Yu Xiaogong?" Yu Luomian asked as Yu Tianheng reminisced about his uncle who played with him and told stories to him when he was little.
"That's right. Although the martial souls of both Xiaogong and that boy are different, their manifestation is similar.
That boy's martial soul can be considered a positive mutation while Xiaogong's martial soul is the negative mutation." Yu Yuanzhen explained.
"According to what I know of his parents Martial Souls, one is a Flame Sword the other is a Sea Dragon.
Both with opposite elements which seem to have manifested as wings to that Dragon. The boy called it 'Azure Dragon'?" Yu Luomian said thoughtfully.
"But big brother, even if we know this information, how is it going to help Yu Xiaogong?" Yu Luomian continued.
"That boy likes research stuff,his majesty granted him authority to build a research institute.
If we are on friendly terms with the boy he might help that useless son of mine.
Although I initially dismissed that martial soul having anything to do with a dragon and deemed it useless. Now that I saw the boy's martial soul, there still might be hope.
Xiaogong's martial soul may not be as simple as we thought it was. So even if we are not on friendly terms with the boy we shouldn't make an enemy out of him, do you two understand?" Yu Yuanzhen explained as he looked at them and asked sternly.
Yu Luomian and Yu Tianheng looked at each other before nodding their heads. Yu Yuanzhen sighed and looked outside in the direction of notting city.
'Brother you seem to have forgotten that woman, but i didn't, that is the same woman who escaped us that time. But if I say it, your blood pressure might surge, so I'll keep silent for now.' Yu Luomian thought.
. . .
In a grand hall a man with long black hair and blue eyes with a scholarly aura about him sat in his sect leader position.
Beside him a withered old man with grey hair and red eyes sat as he pampered the little girl who was pouting in dissatisfaction.
"RongRong even that useless prince Xue Beng got locked up, even his uncle Xue Xing was absent. Just so no one causes trouble in this banquet.
It would be rude of me to take you, the little ancestor along." The black haired man said.
"Hmph im going to complain to grandpa sword, father is being mean." Ning RongRong said as she looked at her father with a pout.
Ning Fengzhi seeing his daughter throwing a tantrum couldn't help but laugh as he said. "RongRong today we met a boy. And your Sword Grandpa likes him. So I'm not sure if he will still support you in this matter."
Ning RongRong, hearing that, looked at him with disbelief and turned to Bone Douluo, Gu Rong, who nodded his head and sighed.
Seeing as even her grandpa bone is saying it's the truth, she started tearing up for real, unlike the fake tears she shed earlier.
'Why would grandpa Sword, support an outside,over me? Does he not love me anymore?' she thought as she was crying.
Ning Fengzhi seeing his daughter crying for real stupid up flustered and about to explain himself and calm down his daughter but got scolded by Gu Rong brut he could even utter a word.
"Fengzhi you've gone too far." Gu Rong scolded Ning Fengzhi and was just about to comfort Ning RongRong when the door opened and a silver haired old man with black eyes walked in with a smile on his face.
All eyes turned to the door, and seeing the one came is Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi sighed in relief.
Sword douluo who was about to share the good news took one look at the girl who is clearly crying and instantly stuff beside her and wiped her tears and started comforting her.
"Don't cry little RongRong your grandpa Sword is here, tell me who bullied you, your gracious will avenge you." He said as he hugged her and rubbed her back gently.
Ning RongRong gradually calmed down and asked. "Grandpa, you don't love RongRong anymore? Father says you like a boy and won't support me."
Sword Douluo, confused, looked at Ning Fengzhi for an explanation, who explained what happened in detail, making him sigh.
"Rongrong, your grandpa loves you. It's a misunderstanding. The boy your father talked about, his name is Wu Hanrui.
He is only 6 years old, but he already achieved sword qi and made a move with a makeshift sword from a tree branch, which enlightened your grandpa.
Thanks to him in level 97 now. So your father said that because he knows how much I appreciate that boy's talent and how thankful I am of the opportunity given to me by that boy.
Because even I couldn't support you if you were to make trouble for that boy. It would make your grandpa look ungrateful" Chen Xin explained to her patiently.
Ning RongRong hearing him explain finally put away her doubts but then got curious about this mysterious genius boy that even her grandpa is praising and asked about him.
"Father who is this Wu Hanrui, why is he so important?" she asked.
Ning Fengzhi, hearing her question, started explaining what happened at the banquet, especially after Sword Douluo left.
Hearing about what happened after he left Sword Douluo couldn't help but get excited. While Ning RongRong erected the name "Wu Hanrui" in her heart.
"Good good good, such a poetic yet accurate name for the sword move.
Radiant Swan Douluo huh, that woman, she probably has what it takes to defeat me now." Sword Douluo exclaimed and then sighed as he thought of that reckless woman.
The other three hearing Sword Douluo admit he could be defeated by singing looked at him with disbelief, especially Bone Douluo as his rival couldn't accept that.
"I saw her fight once. At first I thought for a princess she fights like a brute but then I saw her swordsmanship.
She had a talent for it but her Martial Soul limited it, but now that her Martial Soul evolved she might have a chance at defeating me.
Especially with her grandson's talent it wouldn't make sense if she didn't improve.
I wanted to take that boy as a disciple but, I guess it wouldn't work out, forget it.
Fengzhi, I'm here to tell you that I successfully leveled up and I'm going to retreat for a few months. I still need to comprehend the move i developed after my enlightenment, it might take a few months.
I'm sorry for giving you such short notice." Sword Douluo continued.
Ning Fengzhi, delighted at the Good News, didn't mind and was quite supportive of Sword Douluo. "Don't worry uncle Sword, your improvement is important and congratulations on leveling up." He said.
Sword Douluo nodded as Ning RongRong and Bone Douluo also congratulated him before he left.
'That boy is really a Lucky Star of my sect.' Ning Fengzhi thought.
. . .
Back to Hanrui
Hanrui and his family entered their quarters, along with Xue Qinghe and took a seat on the sofa and chairs.
Xue Qinghe sat opposite Hanrui looking confused.
"So, before we talk, are you going to invite those 2 gentlemen with snake and porcupine Martial Soul's inside?
I'd like to keep our conversation private, Xue Qinghe alias Qian Renxue." Hanrui said with a smile.
Wu Tian and Han Mei looked confused while Xue Li had a 'as expected' look on her face.
While Qian Renxue stood upright, alarm bells ringing in her head. Two people, one with dark hair and the other with blonde hair appeared in front of her, and stood protectively, ready to fight or escape at any moment.
