120: Davis’ unreasonable request to let Shui Bing’er drink with him?

At noon, Qian Feng barely reached the outer ring of the Star Dou Great Forest.

This great forest was truly vast and boundless; even with his current Peak Douluo Soul Power, it still took him a considerable amount of time to completely leave.

Of course, Qian Feng's nature was cautious, emphasizing the word "stable".

Even when he reached the periphery, as long as he was still within the great forest, he continuously changed his position and altered his direction to prevent any Spirit Beasts from tracking him.

His caution and carefulness were ingrained in his bones.

In the evening, outside the great forest, Qian Feng let out a breath of turbid air.

"Finally out," he said. "Fortunately, there was also a harvest; my eighth spirit skill is a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring." Qian Feng touched the three green scales on his neck, finally having time to see what was going on.

Walking around, he came to a pool, squatted down, and checked the situation through the reflection on the water surface.

These three green scales were not particularly large, each about the size of a fingernail, emitting a faint green color, arranged in a vertical line, appearing quite peculiar.

If there was any special feeling, there really wasn't any.

Qian Feng shook his head and tried to call out to his Thunder Lord master within his body, but received no response.

"Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," he murmured, remembering that his master had mentioned it.

It seemed he would have to make a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Qian Feng got up and sighed. Being the Young Master of Spirit Hall was truly difficult; running around from east to west left no time for leisure.

He wondered how his vegetable garden was doing. There was a patch at Fengxue Academy, and he had also planted some in the Spirit Hall's own backyard.

He hadn't been to see them for a long time and missed them quite a bit.

He shook his head, wondering when he could steal half a day of leisure.

Qian Feng looked around again. He had forgotten which direction he had left the Star Dou Great Forest from. Flying in mid-air, he didn't see many people passing by.

After a moment, he saw an Academy with Soul Power fluctuations inside.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect to stumble upon this place by accident!" Qian Feng gave a wry smile, descended from mid-air, controlled his Soul Power to that of a level 72 Soul Saint, and used the Angel God Mask to change his appearance before walking towards the Academy ahead.

"Oh? Soul Saint senior!" A pair of young girls guarding the gate bowed towards Qian Feng and said:

"Are you also here to watch the sparring match between Tianshui Academy and the Star Luo Empire envoy?"

"Hmm? What is the Star Luo Empire here to spar about?" Qian Feng raised an eyebrow and looked up, the four large characters—Tianshui Academy—came into view, with the words Spirit Hall pressing down from above.

It was clearly announcing to everyone that Tianshui Academy was now a force affiliated with the Spirit Hall.

What was the Star Luo Empire doing here?

"Oh, Soul Saint senior. You must be curious about the reason for the Star Luo Empire's visit~" The girl smiled with pursed lips and patiently explained. After all, a Soul Saint was already considered an upper-level figure within the Continent, so she naturally didn't dare to offend him.

"Although the Star Luo Empire knows that our Tianshui Academy is a Spirit Hall force, our students are actually quite free and can go to different forces after graduation. This time, the First Prince of the Star Luo Empire has come, saying he wants to recruit some advisors to be his subordinate generals."

"Davis?" Qian Feng raised an eyebrow, wondering how Dai Mubai was doing in the Star Luo Empire after losing his arm.

"Yes, yes, it's Davis. His future wife, Zhu Zhuyun, is also here; you could say they've given us plenty of face." The girl spread her hands and smiled, "Bing'er Jie Jie is indeed very strong. If she becomes an advisor to the Star Luo First Prince, perhaps her status will be high in the future!"

"Water Binger? Is Water Binger the one Davis wants to recruit?" Qian Feng sneered in his heart. Good heavens, he's actually trying to recruit my woman!

"It's not just her, there are other sisters too. Anyway, the big competition arena within the Academy is holding the recruitment. If Soul Saint senior is willing to go and take a look, you are certainly welcome!"

"Alright! Lead the way!" Qian Feng waved his hand and incidentally gave the young girl some gold spirit coins as thanks.

The young girl took it and smiled sweetly, then quickly hopped and skipped ahead of him to lead the way.

Inside the competition arena, the crowd was bustling. On the Star Luo Empire side, Davis sat in a high position, while the main seat was occupied by Dean Shui Wen. The two were talking and laughing, seeming to have a decent relationship.

Qian Feng wasn't surprised by this. The situation on the Continent was unpredictable now. Although everyone had their own hidden agendas in secret, they were still very harmonious on the surface. Who would start fighting as soon as they met?

Adults prioritize interests, especially the Star Luo Empire and Tianshui Academy, which is subordinate to the Spirit Hall; they are all considering their own interests.

On the competition stage, Water Binger wore an exquisite long blue gauze dress, with water-blue short-heeled shoes on her feet. Her eyes were cold and clear, and her appearance was delicate.

"Haven't seen her in over two years, Bing'er has become even more beautiful~" Qian Feng smiled with pursed lips. Water Binger's features were now as delicate as if carved from jade, and her temperament was cold and ethereal. It seemed she had benefited from the Sea God's guidance. Her Soul Power had reached level seventy-five, making her one of the outstanding figures among the younger generation.

Her water-blue long hair was not draped down but was curled and bent over her left shoulder, adding a touch of maturity.

On the Star Luo Empire side, Davis's gaze never left Water Binger, filled with admiration and astonishment.

Zhu Zhuyun stood beside him, her figure graceful and full, with a neat short haircut. A sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she saw her man's expression, and she felt somewhat displeased. She coughed lightly and said, "Dean Shui Wen, Water Binger is already a Soul Saint at such a young age, and her appearance is also captivating. Does she really have no suitors?"

Dean Shui Wen waved his hand; they were all old foxes, naturally knowing what to say. "Heh heh, Bing'er's suitors can line up from the east side of the Academy to the west~ However, Bing'er's heart is already taken, so she naturally has no other thoughts."

"So that's how it is. I wonder which family is so fortunate. I've heard that the Spirit Hall has a Young Master who has been in seclusion for two or three years. It couldn't be him, could it?" Davis asked with a cold smile.

Dean Shui Wen raised an eyebrow, shook his head, and said, "Bing'er's private matters are naturally not something I will fully interfere with."

He did not answer directly. Some things didn't need to be revealed completely.

Davis tapped the armrest of his chair with his right index finger and smiled with pursed lips, "The Spirit Hall is naturally powerful, with many Title Douluo. But within these two years, my Star Luo Empire has seen the rise of four great families, heh heh~ The future situation on the Continent is still unknown~"

His eyes were filled with extreme confidence. The so-called four great families had actually given him the ability to go from being the weakest Spirit Master Empire on the Continent to wanting to compete with the Spirit Hall.

Dean Shui Wen's heart was filled with astonishment, feeling strange, extremely strange!

"Good! Miss Bing'er has excellent skills, ha ha ha, it's our junior students who are too lacking in ability! Ma Baoguo, step down. Your Lightning Whip technique is still no match for Miss Bing'er."

In the arena, Water Binger easily defeated the elderly Soul Saint opposite her and nodded politely.

Davis stood up and praised her, waving his hand and saying, "Miss Bing'er's talent is astonishing, and her combat power is considerable. If you are willing to come to the Star Luo Empire to cultivate, the resources are absolutely sufficient~"

Water Binger frowned, not quite understanding why the Dean wanted to welcome these people for sparring.

Dean Shui Wen smiled with pursed lips, stood up, and nodded, saying, "Bing'er, don't rush to answer. Tonight, our Academy is hosting a banquet, and we invite Crown Prince Davis to enjoy the Academy's delicious food and wine!"

"Heh heh, that would be more than welcome!" Davis clapped his hand and said, "However, I have a request. I wonder if Miss Water Binger would be willing."

Water Binger looked up in surprise, her eyes clear and transparent as she asked, "Please speak, First Prince."

"Tonight, Davis would like to invite Miss Water Binger to drink heartily together, and incidentally, further improve the benefits that Father Emperor offers for students from Tianshui Academy who go to the Empire for cultivation~"

With one sentence, he put Water Binger on the spot. Her decision was related to the interests of the students who wanted to go to the Star Luo Empire for cultivation.

After all, although the Spirit Hall was good, everyone had their own ideals and ambitions, and there would always be people who wanted to go to the Star Luo Empire.

Water Binger's delicate eyebrows furrowed; for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

She could only respond with silence. After a moment, she said with a cold face, "I will attend the banquet, but I am not good at drinking. I am tired and will rest first!"

After saying that, she turned and left. Everyone was accustomed to her arrogance and coldness. Dean Shui Wen smiled wryly, shook his head, and began arranging the evening's activities.
