Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Ning Rongrong is in Danger!
"You don't need to be modest," Xue Qinghe waved his hand. "Without the Meng Education Committee informing me, it's hard to imagine that someone your age could create their own soul technique and suppress the older students in the academy from easily taking action."
"It's just luck, really. I just stumbled upon some techniques for using martial souls. When it comes to talent, I have someone with the world's top auxiliary martial soul right by my side, don't I?" Su Cheng said, turning to Meng Shenji. "By the way, teacher Meng, could you arrange for Rongrong to join the academy's team as well?"
"No problem," Meng Shenji readily agreed without refusal.
Unlike Su Cheng's situation, outstanding auxiliary soul masters were rare, and there was little competition pressure, especially with the renowned Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's fame.
Currently, in the Imperial Combat Team, there was only one eligible auxiliary soul master, Ye Lingling. Even if Ning Rongrong couldn't become a regular team member, being a substitute for the first team was effortless.
"Brother Su Cheng, Rongrong, how about having lunch together later?" Xue Qinghe glanced at Ning Rongrong and suggested to them.
Ning Rongrong looked at Su Cheng, waiting for his decision.
Facing the invitation, Su Cheng shook his head, politely declining. "I'd rather not. I just enrolled today and still don't understand many things. Besides, Rongrong and I need to get acquainted with the senior members of the team today."
He couldn't get too close to Xue Qinghe right now.
Today's meeting was one thing, but if they went out for a meal, given Xue Qinghe's behavior earlier, it might lead to him being cautious in the future.
Furthermore, Xue Qinghe's unexpected performance today made him wary.
Xue Qinghe nodded without insisting. From his pocket, he took out a golden token and handed it over.
The design of the token was simple, but it contained a special energy flow, with the character "天" carved on it.
"In that case, Brother Su Cheng, take this token. If you have any issues in the future, feel free to come to the palace and find me."
Seeing Su Cheng hesitating, Meng Shenji spoke, "Su Cheng, just take it. This token is just a personal symbol of His Highness and has no other purpose."
Upon hearing this, Su Cheng had no choice but to accept the golden token.
...
After leaving the Royal Combat Academy, Qian Renxue entered the carriage with a cold expression and said, "Back to the palace."
The Snake Spear Douluo, disguised as a coachman, looked at his young master's expression and felt a slight tremor in his heart.
When they came, Qian Renxue was still enthusiastic, but now she had this demeanor.
However, he dared not ask anything and quickly drove the carriage away from the academy's entrance.
Sitting in the carriage, Qian Renxue's expression was complex, with occasional flashes of golden light in her eyes, and her aura fluctuated.
The moment she saw Su Cheng, she was actually very excited.
This meeting finally confirmed the identity of the other party.
Not just the appearance, martial soul, and other external factors, but more importantly, the intangible aura, speaking style, and even the gaze during contemplation, all made her feel extremely familiar.
At that moment, she almost couldn't contain her emotions.
Even looking at the youthful Su Cheng, there was still a strange emotion in her heart.
But she ultimately restrained herself.
Although Qian Renxue didn't know that the other party had long known her true identity, she judged from his occasional gaze and words that Su Cheng was hiding something deep.
"What do you want to do..." Qian Renxue furrowed her brows. "Joining the team... How could you be interested in a mere Soul Master Competition?"
For Su Cheng, there was no need to rely on such means to improve his cultivation or gain rewards with his abilities.
She also didn't believe that he would be interested in winning a title like this.
Joining the team must have some other purpose.
In the dream world, Su Cheng spent decades playing a big game.
But...
"This time, it's you in the light, and me in the dark." Qian Renxue silently said in her heart.
"And that Ning Rongrong..." Her expression darkened at the thought.
She knew Ning Rongrong's character very well.
Letting these two call each other siblings, there must be some ulterior motive.
"What if I kill her?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Qian Renxue's mouth, but her eyes were as cold as ice.
After a moment of silence, a pair of golden eyes lit up in her heart. "Then let's kill her."
"Hoo..." Qian Renxue exhaled a breath. "I've had enough of this damn prince. If necessary, capture Su Cheng and return to the Hall of Souls. Let's see who can stop me!"
This time, the voice in her heart did not oppose.
"Who asked you to willingly step into the trap?"
...
Inside the academy, Su Cheng was unaware that Ning Rongrong by his side had now become a wanted criminal.
After completing Ning Rongrong's enrollment procedures, the two of them rushed to the training base of the Imperial Combat Team together.
There was still several years before the Soul Master Competition began, and team members didn't need to train continuously, so they had some freedom.
Moreover, the roster was not yet finalized, and there might be changes in the next year or so.
But this obviously had little to do with them.
Su Cheng had already proven his talent and strength, surpassing even Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.
As for Ning Rongrong, her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School martial soul alone spoke volumes.
Walking along the road, Su Cheng silently calculated the cards in his hand.
He had already established a background with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School openly. Even if Ning Fengzhi chose to stand with Xue Qinghe in the future, it didn't matter. It wasn't like he was directly competing with Xue Qinghe, with the avalanche looming ahead.
Moreover, Su Cheng's goal from the beginning was to expose the other party's flaws without needing to personally take action.
With relationships with Chen Xin and Ning Rongrong established, his personal safety was somewhat assured.
But that wasn't enough.
Next, with the convenience of having team members, he could try to contact Dugu Yan.
The solution to the Jade Scale Snake's poison wasn't a problem for him. With that, he could establish a connection with Dugu Bo through her.
His time interacting with this Poison Douluo in the simulated world was not short, and he understood his temperament well enough. He wasn't difficult to get along with.
Unlike Chen Xin, Dugu Bo was almost a lone wolf. If the relationship was in place, being at his beck and call wouldn't be a problem.
He wasn't particularly interested in Immortal Herbs.
But if he could tie a lone titled Douluo like Dugu Bo to him, the current effect would be even better than having a powerful force behind him.
