Chapter 73: Ning Fengzhi's Scheme, Mutual Utilization by Both Sides
Inside Lingxue Academy, having handled Feng Xiaotian, he had indirectly handled the others as well, such as Huo Wushuang.
Of course, it seemed Lingxu did not need to handle these three little girls; Qian Renxue could keep them perfectly obedient.
Looking at these five children, plus himself and Qian Renxue, were they not inferior to those Seven Devils of Shrek?
Or rather, compared to them, those few from Shrek were simply incomparable.
Recalling that there were other geniuses of this age in this world, such as Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, but it was unrealistic for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to let them be pulled over, and even if they came, Lingxu would not be at ease.
The Spirit Hall did have a few, such as those three from the Golden Generation.
Calculating their ages, they had long since awakened their martial souls by this period, and were now around eight or nine years old, having also undergone much training in the Spirit Hall.
Bringing them over at this time seemed somewhat inappropriate, and how much recognition did they have for Lingxue Academy?
Even if one wanted to bring people over, it was somewhat difficult.
Therefore, Lingxu had never really thought about bringing these three to join Lingxue Academy!
Having them would be fine, not having them was also fine; he was not lacking these three.
Of these five, perhaps except for Shui Yue'er whose Innate Spirit Power was a bit weaker, the soul power of Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Huo Wushuang was almost all at the Innate eighth or ninth rank, and even if lower, it would not be less than the Innate seventh rank.
At this moment, Huo Wu had only just awakened her martial soul and was already at the peak of the ninth rank of soul power, only a little short of reaching the tenth rank to absorb a Spirit Ring and become a Spirit Master.
Shui Bing'er still had two months before she could awaken her martial soul, and Shui Yue'er was lagging behind quite a bit, only able to awaken her martial soul in five months.
Fortunately, this Shui Qingfeng still kept his promise, bringing everyone over, and also promised that they would all join Lingxue Academy in the future.
After arranging for these three families to settle down, the teachers who came to Lingxue Academy to apply for jobs in the following time were nothing special, only mediocre.
At the same time, under the rumors deliberately spread by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it was almost known to everyone in Heaven Dou City.
It was said that the person about to open Lingxue Academy was related to the disappearance of Xue Qinghe.
The theft of the national treasury was also done by the person opening Lingxue Academy; otherwise, where would they get the money to build such a large academy in such a short time?
Word spread from ten to a hundred, and this voice had already reached the Tiandou Huanggong.
This morning, Great Emperor Xueye summoned all the civil and military officials, and even invited Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over; after all, this Lingxue Academy involved the branch hall of the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.
Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue were both powerhouses at the Spirit Douluo level.
To take action, the Heaven Dou Empire still had to borrow the strength of others, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Inside the Tiandou Hall, the various ministers were also launching various discussions about this matter.
"I think it was done by people from the Spirit Hall; no one else has the guts."
"That's right, it's just two Spirit Douluos; my Heaven Dou Empire's Soul Master Legion is not afraid even if a Title Douluo comes."
"It is better not to have a direct conflict with the people of the Spirit Hall; these are just rumors after all, and we have no evidence."
"We must investigate first and find evidence to make them convinced."
Various voices rose in the Tiandou Hall, and Xueye felt the time was about right, then waved his hand, and the hall instantly became quiet.
"Sect Master Ning, let me give you the bottom line: this time, Qinghe's disappearance also took away ten million Gold Soul Coins and the empire's national treasure, the Vast Sea Universe Cover."
"This time it involves people from the Spirit Hall; I wonder what high opinion Sect Master Ning has?"
Great Emperor Xueye looked at Ning Fengzhi; if there was a real conflict, he would still need the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi said: "Your Majesty, I only believe in one saying: there is no smoke without fire. Although this rumor has spread, it cannot be said one hundred percent that it is related to those people from the Spirit Hall."
"Acting rashly is afraid of damaging the relationship between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Then what should be done?" Great Emperor Xueye asked.
Ning Fengzhi pretended to think for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, there is no absolute evidence now. It is best to investigate in secret. Once we find the evidence and take action, even if it goes to Wuhun City, they will not dare to say anything."
"Sigh... I don't know how Qinghe is doing?"
"He has made great progress in the last half year!" Great Emperor Xueye thought of Xue Qinghe's changes and progress, and in these months of not seeing him, he still missed him very much.
"Sect Master Ning, how do you think we should find evidence?" Great Emperor Xueye asked.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty has lost three things, right? First, if we can find His Highness Qinghe, then the problem can be solved. Second, find the lost ten million Gold Soul Coins. Third, find the Vast Sea Universe Cover."
"As long as one of them is found, evidence can be found."
Speaking of this, Great Emperor Xueye looked at Prince Xue Xing and said: "Xue Xing, how have you investigated these things?"
Prince Xue Xing frowned and said: "Your Majesty, there is no clue for the time being. The eldest prince, Qinghe, seems to have disappeared for no reason."
"As for the Gold Soul Coins and the Vast Sea Universe Cover, we have not found them, nor have we found anyone using a large amount of Gold Soul Coins."
"However, the academy founded by Luo Xingyue of the Spirit Hall offers generous conditions. It is difficult to support this academy without enough Gold Soul Coins, so I think this rumor has some credibility and is worth investigating."
Great Emperor Xueye snorted coldly, his brows furrowed, clearly dissatisfied with Xue Xing's handling of the matter.
"Then the focus now is on this Lingxue Academy. I will give you another month. If there is still no clue, you can forget about your princely title."
"Yes, this subject will definitely do his best to investigate this Lingxue Academy," Prince Xue Xing said, his face full of helplessness.
He had no choice; he had checked for months without any news. It was still very difficult to find out in one month. Even if there was a direction to investigate Lingxue Academy, how should he investigate it?
If he found it, he would naturally be fine.
But this was ultimately just a rumor, and its credibility was worth considering!
In case it had nothing to do with Lingxue Academy, after this month passed, he could only accept punishment.
Ning Fengzhi also found an opportunity at this time and said: "Your Majesty, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to assist Prince Xue Xing in the investigation to share Your Majesty's worries."
At this time, Prince Xue Xing was grateful to Ning Fengzhi, and Xueye was also very satisfied after hearing this, saying: "Good, then I will trouble Sect Master Ning."
"Your Majesty, it is just a small matter. However, Your Majesty, can you let me go to the scene of the loss to see? Maybe I can find some clues," Ning Fengzhi said with a serious face.
This was to enter the national treasury of the Heaven Dou Empire. Xueye hesitated for a moment, but then agreed: "Good, Xue Xing, you take Sect Master Ning to have a look."
"With you working together, I will be much more at ease."
Great Emperor Xueye did not care about the ministers present; since the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was willing to help, his goal for today could be considered achieved.
And this was the result Ning Fengzhi wanted: to guide the Heaven Dou Empire to investigate everything about Mingling Mountain; both sides were just using each other.
In fact, even Ning Fengzhi did not expect that the rumor he had made up casually was actually true.
