Chapter 178 This child is the only son of Prince Xue Xing! 【3k for the moon
The scene immediately startled the participating soul masters.
This is also the reason why the Tiandou Empire allows members of the Royal Knights to watch the battle: in addition to having the soul masters fight as a positive guide for them, it also allows the forces of various countries to show their country's strength!
Let those principalities and kingdoms that are ready to make moves understand that the Tiandou Empire is not theirs to offend!
As soon as he finished speaking, the first game started immediately. The first person to appear was Blazing Academy. Their opponent was a team from another principality named Fabia Academy.
The rules are different from the seven-person team battle in the previous qualifiers.
The promotion competition is an individual competition.
Although the participating teams still sent seven participating students, they competed one by one. The winner continued to stay on the field, and the loser continued to send students until all the participating students on one side failed.
If you are strong enough, you can make a string of seven!
The promotion competition is based on personal strength, making it easier for the empire to select talents.
The promotion tournament will rank the fifteen participating teams to facilitate a bye in the finals and will not eliminate any team.
However, there is still a big gap in strength between the teams from other principalities and kingdoms compared to the five teams selected by the Tiandou Empire. If nothing else, the competition for the final ranking will still be among these five teams.
At this moment, we are at the VIP table.
"Qinghe, the five teams selected by our Tiandou City?"
Emperor Xue Ye watched the game below with great interest, and from time to time he turned his head to ask Qian Renxue for his opinion. His face was rosy and it seemed that he was in good spirits today.
"Back to my father, I am more optimistic about Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy has shown good strength in the preliminaries before, especially the soul master named Tang San, who impressed me deeply." Qian Renxuewen
Yan raised his head and said.
"Tang San..."
After thinking for a while, Xue Ye nodded slightly and said slowly, "This person is indeed very talented, and he is also the master's direct disciple. Qinghe, you can try to get in touch with him. If he can be admitted to the royal family, he will definitely become one of yours in the future."
Big help.”
"My son...will go." Qian Renxue said silently for a moment.
"Alas~"
Xue Ye sighed and said slowly, "Remember that child again?"
Although he had never met him, he always knew that there was a talented and proud young man beside Qian Renxue.
In fact, this is normal, Xue Ye is the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
In Tiandou City, the center of power of the Tiandou Empire, he was the one who valued the empire's crown prince the most. How could he not know that a young child suddenly appeared?
"Yes."
Looking at the waning Qian Renxue, Xue Ye couldn't help but sigh, "The eleven-year-old Soul Sect, the ultimate sword martial soul, and the direct disciple of Sword Douluo, is indeed a genius unique in ten thousand.
If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely become your right-hand man and the cornerstone of the empire in the future.
It’s just a pity! God is jealous of talents..."
This kid's talent is really strong.
If Lingtian can survive, he is destined to become a titled Douluo in the future!
What a pity...
Their Tiandou Empire still couldn't get this young man.
"Life is so unsatisfactory."
Xue Ye patted Qian Renxue on the shoulder and said warmly, "I was just like you back then, but we still have to look forward and cannot be immersed in the past forever."
"As the future king of the Tiandou Empire, you have a heavy burden on you."
Xue Ye has seen Qian Renxue's changes during this period, so she took this opportunity to enlighten him.
His current physical condition is getting worse and worse. He knows very well that he has no time left. In order to avoid civil strife in the royal family once he dies, he will hand over power to Qian Renxue.
Otherwise, as an emperor, how could he disperse his power?
"I understand." Qian Renxue raised her head and said slowly.
"Um."
Xue Ye nodded happily, he believed Qian Renxue had understood what he meant.
Just when Xue Ye turned his attention back to the game, Qi Lin suddenly hurried behind Xue Ye and glanced meaningfully at Xue Xing who was sitting behind him.
"His Majesty!"
"What's wrong?" Xue Ye asked, frowning slightly.
Qi Lin whispered into his ear, while Xue Ye's expression kept changing!
"Qinghe, I'll leave this to you, I suddenly have something to deal with!" As soon as Qilin finished speaking, Xue Ye couldn't wait to get up, left an urgent word, and hurriedly left the VIP table.
"Father, don't worry."
Qian Renxue stood up and saluted Xue Ye. At the same time, the light in her eyes kept flickering, and in the depths of her eyes, there was a hint of deep luster.
Ever since she arrived in the Tiandou Empire, she had rarely seen Xue Ye looking so anxious!
What did Qi Lin report that made Xue Ye so anxious?
What kind of thing could make Xue Ye not even care about the Soul Master Competition and leave the hunting ground in a hurry?
At the same time, just when the promotion competition was going on like a fire.
After a long journey for a week, Lingtian and Chenxi finally arrived in front of the gate of Tiandou City.
In order to prevent being recognized by acquaintances, Lingtian specially put on a mask to hide his appearance.
"Finally back!"
Walking into the city gate and listening to the familiar cries along the street, Lingtian's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia.
I’m finally back after more than a year away…
Chen Xi asked at the right time, "Young Master, where should we go next?"
"Prince, forget it, let's collect some information first."
Lingtian originally wanted to go directly to the Prince's Mansion, but then he thought about the fact that the Soul Master Competition was still being held, and Qian Renxue, as the Prince, should no longer be in the Mansion, so he decided to see how the situation was now.
"I know Tiandou City better than you, come with me." Lingtian smiled and turned around and said.
"yes."
Chenxi nodded and immediately followed Lingtian's footsteps.
Tiandou Empire, the Emperor's Palace.
On the snowy night, all the palace maids and guards were dispersed inside and outside the palace.
At the same time, he ordered that no one should enter the palace grounds without his orders.
"Tell me again what you investigated in detail." Xue Ye sat on the bed and said in a deep voice.
"promise!"
Qilin bowed his hands in salute, then stood up and said slowly, "A few days ago you asked me to investigate the identity of the child next to His Royal Highness, and I have already found some clues.
According to the investigation of my subordinates, I learned that Lingtian was adopted and raised by Wu Qu when he was a child, and it was not until he awakened his martial spirit at the age of six that he was valued by His Highness the Crown Prince and was taken into the Crown Prince's palace."
"Wu Qu?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Xue Ye's eyes, and she asked in a deep voice, "Is this the young master from the Tiandou Wu family back then?"
"Exactly, after the Wu family was destroyed, Wu Qu became a destitute beggar." Qi Lin nodded.
"I didn't expect that Lingtian was actually adopted by that person. It's a pity... With that guy's talent, if he hadn't been on the wrong team at the time, he would never have ended up where he is now."
Xue Ye sighed with emotion and recalled the past events of that year.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Xue Ye put away her eyes and waved her hands, "Keep talking."
"Later, after more in-depth investigation by my subordinates, I accidentally discovered that the time when this child was adopted actually intersected with the time when Prince Snow Star's only son disappeared. Moreover, he and the name of the missing little prince were very coincidental.
They are all called Lingtian!"
Then my subordinates followed this clue to investigate and discovered that this child is very likely...the only son of Prince Snow Star!"
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Xue Ye's fingers tapped rapidly on the fence next to the bed.
"What other evidence do you have to confirm his identity?"
"Just relying on the name and the time of disappearance is not enough to determine the identity of a prince. I also need qualitative evidence. Not to mention that his martial spirit has nothing to do with the swan martial spirit of our royal family. If you don't
Decisive evidence such as an identity token, mere conjectures and one-sided words, cannot prove his identity at all."
Xue Ye stared at Qi Lin and said in a deep voice.
"I would like to ask Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, when Prince Snow Star's son was born, was there a blue mark that flashed between his eyebrows?" Qilin asked, cupping his hands.
"That's right." Xue Ye nodded.
The matter of the blue mark was the only clue Xuexing mentioned in order to find the trace of the child after the child disappeared. Qi Lin, who was the chief steward of the royal family, was also present at the time, so it was not surprising to know about this matter.
However, after several searches, no trace of the child was found, and finally we had to give up after a week of searching.
He also felt sorry for his younger brother because of this incident.
Therefore, Xuexing has always turned a blind eye to his struggle with Emperor Qianrenxue over the years, as long as his bottom line is not touched.
At the same time, Qi Lin also continued, "When I was in the Prince's Mansion, I once saw a blue mark flashing between Lingtian's eyebrows!"
However, because he did not investigate Lingtian's life experience in depth at that time, he did not pay attention to the fleeting blue mark.
It wasn't until a few days ago when I was thinking about the missing little prince of Prince Xue Xing that I suddenly realized this. After connecting all the information together, I came to Xue Ye to report it non-stop.
"Are you sure?!"
Hearing this, Xue Ye stood up suddenly, gripped the fence tightly with her fingers, and stared at Qi Lin with a solemn expression.
"Everything my subordinate said is true!" Qilin cupped his hands and said.
"..."
Blue mark, you can’t go wrong!
With this and the previous clues, Xue Ye is now at least 70% sure that Ling Tian is the little prince who disappeared from Xue Xing back then.
"Alas, fate plays tricks on people..."
Xue Ye sighed deeply, let go of the fence and slowly sat back on the bed.
Xuexing and that child really had a fateful fate.
After searching for so many years, we finally got information about the child, but now he has died unexpectedly before he could confirm his identity.
Maybe, Xue Ye and this child really don’t have the fate between father and son...
