Chapter 140: End of the Exchange, Bidding Farewell to Heaven Dou Royal Academy

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, at the school gate.

The Imperial Fighting Team, teacher Qin Ming, the Three Education Committee Members, Princess Xue Ke, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe were all gathered here.

In the shadows, there was even the Title Douluo Dugu Bo.

They had all come to see Nan Feihuang off, because today was the day Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu would end their time as exchange students and return to the Gu Lei Kingdom.

Everyone's hearts were filled with reluctance.

"Brother Feihuang, you must take ten... no, ten thousand times more care." Xue Ke had originally wanted to say 'ten thousand' (qianwan), but suddenly thinking of that keyword invading her heart, she changed it to 'ten thousand' (wanwan). She was still feeling jealous, even though she did not know who that woman with 'Qian' in her name was.

But from now on, she decided never to say the word 'Qian' again, changing everything to 'Wan', representing that she would definitely be ten times better to Nan Feihuang than that Xiao San, and would never let the Brother Feihuang she liked be snatched away by another woman.

Nan Feihuang had not expected that Xue Ke, who always presented herself as a lady, would have such a cute side.

Sure enough, jealousy is a girl's instinct; no matter how much etiquette one learns, one cannot quit it.

"Feihuang, during the Academy Tournament, the Gu Lei Royal Academy and our Heaven Dou Royal Academy are not in the same division. I cannot cheer for you during the Preliminary Tournament, but for the Promotion Tournament, I will definitely come to root for you," Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

Nan Feihuang already worshipped the identity of Xue Qinghe to the extreme, and for Qian Renxue, he loved her to the point of obsession; even an unprecedented illness like the keyword invading his heart had been triggered, so it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as infatuated.

"Um, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are, after all, the Crown Prince of my Heaven Dou Empire. Even if you want to root for someone, you should be rooting for our Heaven Dou Royal Academy," Oslo said softly. "Besides, with the Flying General's powerful strength, does he even need cheering? I feel it would be better to pray for his future opponents."

Such a Nan Feihuang could be said to have been completely controlled by her, and he was her future subordinate.

Yu Tianheng and the others did not refute this.

Nan Feihuang was full of embarrassment, having been caught by this group of guys. He had a premonition that this dark history would be something he would be mocked for for the rest of his life.

Anyway, he held no hope for the future Soul Master Tournament. The championship? With Nan Feihuang there, no matter if it was the first or second team of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, there was no chance of winning. His former best teammates were about to become his strongest opponents, and now their Crown Prince was actually cheering for an opponent who was clearly stronger than them; he might as well just give up.

She, on the other hand, was in a pleasant mood. Although she was reluctant for Nan Feihuang to leave, she felt that over these three years, her original plan had been over-fulfilled.

What could those old, powerful teams like the Five Great Element Academies, the Exotic Beast Academy, or the Plant Academy even do under Nan Feihuang's Divine Halberd?

"Actually, we aren't without a chance. As long as we find that girl from the Qian Family in Feihuang's heart and trigger his keyword invasion of the heart again, wouldn't we be able to win without a fight?" A cold voice rang out, startling everyone, because the one who had spoken was actually Ye Lingling.

It must have been Xun Yu who corrupted her.

What she needed to do next was find a suitable opportunity to have a showdown with Nan Feihuang, merge the two identities into one, and let Nan Feihuang truly join the Offering Hall.

When did this young girl learn to tease others?

"Haha, that's right! At that time, any of us could take down Feihuang in a second!" Yu Tianheng laughed loudly.

"Senior Sister Lingling, how could you? Brother Feihuang won't care about any Qian Family girl in the future. Even if the keyword invades his heart again, it will still be the character 'Xue'," Xue Ke pouted in dissatisfaction. When she went back, she would definitely investigate who that Qian Family woman was.

Xue Qinghe glanced at Xue Ke and thought to herself, "Hmm, actually, the character 'Xue' is fine too. Do I not have that character? Even if one day Feihuang's keyword changes from 'Qian' to 'Xue', it will still be the 'Xue' of Qian Renxue. That person will still be me; it cannot be anyone else."

The group's jokes about Nan Feihuang diluted the reluctance of parting.

Lan Xue looked at this group of Nan Feihuang's peers before her and felt satisfied. It seemed that her son had lived very well at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy these past few years.

Not only had his cultivation improved significantly, but he had also made a large group of good friends.

"Three Education Committee Members, thank you for taking care of my son these past three years. I will take him away now. The two brothers from the Shi family from your school are also on their way back and should arrive by tomorrow," Lan Xue said, walking up to the three committee members.

Because she missed her son, she had come alone in advance, and someone else was escorting Shi Mo and Shi Mo back.

"Your Excellency Profound Ice, you are too kind. Feihuang is gifted, kind, and generous. Many people in the academy like him very much. It is our honor to have taught such a student for three years," Meng Shenji said. His praise for Nan Feihuang came from the heart.

From this, it could be seen that besides his hard work in cultivation, Nan Feihuang's surface work was also done very well. At the very least, in terms of his persona, he had not lost face for the Gu Lei Kingdom.

"Then everyone, Wenruo and I will be going first. We will see you again at the Soul Master Elite Tournament. Little Ke'er, Brother Xue, goodbye!" Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu bid farewell to everyone and boarded the Gu Lei Kingdom's carriage.

Watching the carriage gradually move away, Dugu Yan said, "Feihuang is gone. The days ahead will likely be much quieter."

"Yeah, it's really hard to part with this funny guy. He can fight, he's smart, and sometimes he's inexplicably cute," Yu Tianheng sighed. "Alright, everyone, go back and train hard. When Shi Mo and Shi Mo return, our team will be the Imperial Fighting Team of the past again. We need to practice various cooperative tactics. In the future Soul Master Tournament, even if we can't beat Feihuang, we must show our own style."

"Yes, Captain!"

Led by Yu Tianheng and Qin Ming, the Imperial Fighting Team returned to the academy.

Soon, only the siblings Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke remained at the gate. They could still vaguely see the shadow of the carriage, so they were unwilling to leave.

The two had different thoughts. Xue Ke only hoped that the Soul Master Tournament would arrive sooner; after it ended, her father the Emperor would hold an engagement ceremony for her and Nan Feihuang. Once she had a name and status, she wouldn't be afraid of any Qian Family woman coming to snatch her Brother Feihuang.

As for Xue Qinghe, she was thinking whether she should just kill Xue Ye sooner. Once the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire were settled, she could reveal her identity to Nan Feihuang sooner.

It was just a pity that she couldn't do it now. Her power in the Heaven Dou Empire was not yet very stable. She had not fully grasped any of the three major powers—military, political, or financial—and was only assisting Xue Ye in handling government affairs.

If Xue Ye were to die suddenly at this time, she would inevitably be one of the suspects, or even the first in line, and Ge Long would definitely investigate the matter strictly.

In fact, when the two princes died back then, it wasn't as if no one suspected her, including Ge Long and Ning Fengzhi. After all, if Dugu Bo could notice it, these two people who were so politically sensitive could not have failed to think of it. But firstly, Xue Qinghe was the eldest prince and was capable enough, and secondly, in the struggle for the throne, killing opponents was the norm. Compared to the Star Luo Empire, which put things out in the open, the Heaven Dou Empire was already very subtle.

But it would be different if she killed her father. Killing brothers was called fighting for the throne; killing the father was called rebellion. Even Ning Fengzhi, who was her teacher, would distance himself from her or even oppose her because of this, as the Great Emperor Xue Ye had never done anything to wrong Xue Qinghe. Who would trust someone who would even kill a father who was good to them?

Her nature was too cold.

At that time, the country would inevitably fall into chaos and war would break out. Even if she could still ascend the throne, the people below would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, which would be completely contrary to her purpose of coming to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent.

She also hoped to take over the Heaven Dou Empire with minimal killing and without a drop of blood; this was the style of the Angel Clan.

The safest way was to wait until the Soul Hunting Operation began, remove the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which had the strongest soul master power in the country, and only take action when she was actually in control of the country's military, political, and financial powers.

Qian Renxue and Nan Feihuang were a bit alike; neither of them were good people, but at least they could distinguish between being decisive in killing and slaughtering the innocent indiscriminately.
