Sitting in the luxurious carriage, Pei Qing swayed back to the Prince's Mansion.
After arranging a tutor for him, Xue Qinghe hurried to the imperial palace.
As the crown prince of a nation, he was quite busy, with a large number of government affairs awaiting his attention.
Perhaps it was for this reason that his cultivation was hindered, leading to him only reaching the Soul Sage realm in the original work when he was in his late twenties or early thirties, despite having an innate soul power of level 20.
This was simply a waste of talent. If Pei Qing had the talent to become a god innately,
Going undercover? What a joke!
I would just cultivate like crazy for twenty years, and I wouldn't care about the Heaven Dou Empire or the Star Luo Empire.
I wouldn't care if it was the Clear Sky School, the number one tool spirit, or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, the number one beast spirit, or even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which possessed the number one support-type spirit.
I would just sweep through them all. Why would I need to go undercover?
Shaking his head, Qian Renxue's decision to go undercover was probably more due to Bibi Dong.
It was likely the daughter wanting to gain her mother's approval that made her willing to undertake such a thankless task.
Qian Daoliu probably thought that with Qian Renxue's talent, if she wanted to mess around for two years, she could, as he wouldn't have any more problems.
But he never expected a protagonist like Tang San to suddenly appear.
Sighing, Pei Qing looked at the textbook in front of him. He resolutely opened it and read through the introductions to various soul beasts.
This made him feel dazzled. As someone who had embarked on the path of a soul master, understanding soul beasts was the most basic requirement for him.
The theoretical tutor, personally arranged by Xue Qinghe, who was disguised as Qian Renxue, soon appeared before Pei Qing.
This tutor had appeared before and wasted no time, immediately beginning to explain things to him.
He listened to the tutor's explanations with great seriousness.
In fact, he was even more serious than he had been in classes in his previous life, not even dozing off.
If that level of seriousness had been applied in his previous life, he might have even been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University!
For the next few days, Pei Qing did not see Xue Qinghe.
However, Xue Qinghe sent a large amount of gold soul coins and clothes.
The clothes, personally sewn by the tailors of the Prince's Mansion, were not only made of the finest materials but also fit extremely well.
A magnificent golden crow was embroidered on the black clothes, so lifelike that it seemed as if a real golden crow had landed on Pei Qing.
Finally, after nearly a week, Pei Qing saw Xue Qinghe again.
"Our little Qing, you are indeed a handsome young man. Now that you've changed into new clothes, you look absolutely dashing. I wonder how many girls will fall for you in the future."
He was quite free today, seemingly having finished his official duties. His mood was very good, and seeing Pei Qing in his new clothes, he was in the mood to joke.
"Brother Xue, stop joking. I'm focused on cultivation and don't have any thoughts of dating girls for now."
Dating in Douluo Continent was simply the most terrifying thing!
Douluo Continent, also known as the Love Continent, where dating would eventually turn one into a love-struck fool.
Pei Qing felt his intelligence was just enough, and if he became a love-struck fool, it would be too terrifying; he might impulsively lose his life at any moment.
Of course, Pei Qing wouldn't stay single, but even if he did enter a relationship, he would never put all his heart into it like the people of Douluo Continent; that would be too foolish.
"Not dating? That won't do. It would be a great pity if your top-tier Golden Crow spirit wasn't passed down."
Xue Qinghe waved his hand and spoke seriously.
Not dating was absolutely unacceptable.
In the future, she would definitely become the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and by then, Pei Qing would be her most capable subordinate.
Her Six-Winged Angel was a single-line inheritance and could not be mass-produced, but Pei Qing's Golden Crow was different. If he could have a few more children, then even if she became a god in the future, Spirit Hall would probably have nothing to worry about.
"Brother Xue, why are you back so early today? Is something going on?"
Pei Qing watched as Xue Qinghe's words veered off topic, and immediately changed the subject.
He didn't want to be a stud!
"Oh, you. Never mind, I'll tell you later. The Heaven Dou Auction House is holding an auction today. I'll take you to see it."
As the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe naturally received advance notifications from the Heaven Dou Auction House before every auction.
This time was no exception. For Xue Qinghe, he didn't think much of the Heaven Dou Auction House's practices.
However, thinking that Pei Qing would become his capable assistant in the future, he decided to take him to broaden his horizons, taking advantage of this auction at the Heaven Dou Auction House to show Pei Qing around.
"Heaven Dou Auction House?"
Pei Qing was startled, then looked up at Xue Qinghe.
"That's right, the Heaven Dou Auction House is holding an auction today, and I happen to be free, so I'm taking you to see the world."
"If there's anything you want to buy, tell me!"
Xue Qinghe showed a gentle smile and proactively reached out to take Pei Qing's hand.
Pei Qing looked at him, said nothing, and was led by him directly out of the Prince's Mansion.
He actually wanted to see what kind of place the Heaven Dou Auction House was.
As an auction house secretly supported by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, every auction was always packed with people.
It was even rumored that soul bones, treasures of the blood river, had appeared at auctions before.
Soul bones were extremely precious in this era.
A thousand-year soul bone could even cause a war between two small provinces.
Pei Qing sat opposite Xue Qinghe, sipping his tea in small mouthfuls.
He calculated that he currently had about 100,000 gold soul coins. After the auction, he would trouble Xue Qinghe to take him to the orphanage.
He would keep 30,000 for himself and give the remaining 70,000 directly to Grandpa Dean.
Oh, and Brother Tao, he had borrowed 100 gold soul coins from him at the time. He would find an opportunity to repay him 1,000.
Pei Qing was a person who repaid kindness. Both Grandpa Dean and Wu Haitao had greatly helped him, and not repaying kindness was not in line with his character.
Riding in Xue Qinghe's luxurious carriage, the two soon arrived at the Heaven Dou Auction House!
The exterior was indeed very luxurious, with female greeters in revealing outfits standing outside, welcoming guests one after another.
Pei Qing was well aware that these female greeters were merely entertainment, serving the noble guests who came and went.
They were specially trained and consumable items that could be taken away by guests at will.
Given Xue Qinghe's status, he directly received two top-tier masks, handed one to Pei Qing, and the two walked directly into the auction house.
