Chapter 14 Ning Fengzhi
While the three were chatting, another carriage stopped and a man in gorgeous clothes got out of the carriage. The man looked about the same age as Xue Ye and his features were somewhat similar.
"Brother." The man smiled and bowed to Xue Ye.
Xue Ye nodded, and then introduced him to Di Hong and the others: "This is my third brother, Xue Xing."
Okay, another acquaintance.
Di Hong looked at Xue Xing inconspicuously. It was hard for him to associate the Xue Xing in front of him with those seemingly domineering princes in anime. The Xue Xing in front of him also gave people an easy-going feeling, but it was much worse than Xue Ye.
"Greetings, His Highness Xue Xing." Di Ming and Di Hong bowed slightly to Xue Xing, and Xue Xing also returned the greeting.
After they exchanged greetings, Xue Xing stepped forward and patted Di Hong on the shoulder.
"You must be Di Hong, I have heard of your great name."
"I really don't know how you practiced. You only improved by more than 40 levels in six years. I even doubt whether you have innate full soul power."
Xue Xing was so enthusiastic that Di Hong felt uncomfortable and didn't know how to respond to him. Finally, Di Ming started to explain.
He answered Xue Ye and Xue Xing's doubts with three parts of pride, three parts of showing off, three parts of carelessness and one part of seriousness, because he knew that one of the reasons for coming this time was to dispel everyone's doubts. The innate level 20 soul power, this kind of thing must not be known to others, especially before Di Hong finished growing up.
"Let me tell you, my fourth brother is an unrivaled genius, and my father has devoted all his resources to train him."
"Six years of training at the volcano has made him a little introverted."
"With the support of various resources, plus the innate talent of full soul power, it's hard not to upgrade quickly."
"From now on, if I, as the second oldest brother, offend anyone outside, I will let my fourth brother handle it."
"From now on, my fourth brother will be invincible."
"At that time, you will serve the empire while supporting me, allowing me to live a life of luxury and debauchery."
Di Ming's words caused several people to burst into laughter. At the same time, Xue Ye also dispelled his inner doubts. Although he did not completely believe it, the facts were there. He was indeed a real Soul King and was indeed twelve years old.
Writing a letter on a snowy night hoping that Di Hong would come was also a test, but he actually came.
To be honest, if Di Hong was not from a royal family, he would not do this.
After all, the relationship between the empire and its vassal kingdoms is extremely sensitive. Especially when the empire is in decline, they would get nervous if a genius appeared in a kingdom.
After chatting for a while at the door, Xue Ye arranged for someone to take them to the banquet hall.
There were already a lot of people gathered in the banquet hall, talking and laughing. Although they usually had conflicts, and they were not even from the same faction, and some even had conflicts, now they were like old friends.
After Di Hong came in, many people looked at him, especially the soul masters.
After seeing Di Hong's soul power, all the soul masters present were shocked. Their strength was not weak. The Soul King level was considered top-level powerhouses in ordinary cities, but their age meant that their achievements would end here.
Even if you work harder, the best you can do is become a Soul Emperor or Soul Saint.
A soul master's achievements before the age of 20 will affect his future.
The higher the soul power level and the younger you are, the greater your future achievements will be.
And Di Hong obviously meets this condition. He is twelve years old and at the Soul King level. If such a person does not achieve great success in the future, then all the soul masters in the continent can die. There is no point in practicing. In the eyes of soul masters, looking at Di Hong is no longer looking at a junior, but looking at a Titled Douluo. Di Hong will definitely be a Titled Douluo in the future, which may be their bragging capital in the future.
When I meet people in the future, I can say, “I have seen Dihong as a child.”
Di Ming brought Di Hong to their seat and sat down. To be honest, Di Hong didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. Six years of training made him seldom contact with the outside world, and also made him dislike going to crowded places, especially such banquets.
Sitting behind Di Ming, he said nothing, just drinking tea and eating fruit on the table.
Xue Ye and Xue Xing walked in.
Sitting in his seat, Xue Ye explained to everyone present the reason for tonight's banquet. This banquet was not hosted by Xue Ye privately but was authorized by the emperor, otherwise it would not have been held in such a grand manner.
And there are still many officials who do not support Xue Ye.
After Xue Ye finished his personal speech, a servant from the Prince's Mansion came over and said respectfully.
"Your Highness, Mr. Ning Fengzhi, the young master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, is here."
Hearing this, the banquet hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were looking outside, including Di Hong. He looked outside with curiosity in his eyes. He was very curious about the future leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Not long after, a handsome young man in white clothes and with an elegant appearance walked in. The young man had a faint smile on his face and exuded a confident aura.
Di Hong could tell the man's soul power level at a glance. He had to say that Ning Fengzhi was indeed handsome and had a good temperament. He was obviously not inferior to Ning Fengzhi in terms of appearance, and was even better than him, but he felt inferior to him. The gap between him and Ning Fengzhi was probably in temperament.
Although he was a member of the royal family and was born into an aristocratic family, it could not conceal the fact that he was an ordinary loser in his previous life, and he had not received any training or cultivation in aristocratic etiquette in this life.
After Ning Fengzhi walked into the banquet hall, he bowed slightly to Xue Ye.
"Feng Zhi, I meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xue Ye walked up to him with a smile.
"Master Ning, there is no need to be so polite. I wonder if Uncle Ning is feeling better now?"
The Uncle Ning he mentioned is the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's expression remained unchanged, he just shook his head, but there was a flash of helplessness in his eyes.
"My father is still the same. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Xue Ye did not ask any more questions, but invited him to the seat closest to him. Ning Fengzhi's seat was on the ground floor of Dihong, and the two of them just happened to be facing each other, with only a wide aisle between them.
Retracting his gaze, Di Hong asked in a low voice: "Second brother, the relationship between Ning Fengzhi and the prince is not ordinary."
"That's right." Di Ming said: "Although Prince Xue Ye is older than Ning Fengzhi, the relationship between them is also very good."
“Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has not taken sides, based on the relationship between the two, Ning Fengzhi is definitely inclined towards Crown Prince Xue Ye. Moreover, the current leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is seriously ill and may not live long.”
"By then, Ning Fengzhi will succeed him as the sect leader."
"When he becomes the sect master, it is unknown whether the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will remain neutral between the two princes."
Di Hong nodded. The internal strife in the royal family was really troublesome. Fortunately, he had no worries in this regard. Only when he was strong would he have no worries. When he was weak, even the smallest thing would make him worried.
