Chapter 197: Xue Ke becomes an apprentice _1
Wasn’t Shui Yue’er the same? Chu Qin was such an outstanding man, and every day she watched these sisters be so intimate with him, especially since Xue Wu recently succeeded in her confession, which left an even more complex taste in her heart!
For many days and nights, she had fantasized about this day, and now she had finally succeeded!
Therefore, Shui Yue’er cherished this hard-won love even more than Chu Qin did, hugging him tightly as if she wanted to melt herself into his embrace!
"Xiaowu, tell me, what kind of charm does Chu Qin have that so many excellent women fall over themselves to be with him!" Just as the two were embracing, from Xiaowu’s bedroom, Mei Wu looked out the window and wondered. She had witnessed the entire scene of Shui Yue’er confessing her love to Chu Qin!
"I don’t know!" Xiaowu shook her head and replied with a smile, "Anyway, all I know is that no matter how many women Chu Qin has, he will always love me, and I will always be by his side!"
"If it were someone else saying this, mother would definitely refute you, but Chu Qin is my lifesaver. Xiaowu, promise mother that you will never let him down!" Mei Wu said earnestly.
"Mhm, I definitely will!" Xiaowu nodded seriously.
Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe, accompanied by Xue Ke, approached Chu Qin and Shui Yue’er. Xue Qinghe smiled lightly and said, "It seems, Miss Shui Yue’er, you have also become Young Master Chu’s girlfriend?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Shui Yue’er immediately replied happily, "Yes, just a short while ago!"
As she spoke, Shui Yue’er looked at Chu Qin with adoring eyes.
Hearing this, Xue Ke’s phoenix eyes instantly revealed an even more disdainful expression. If it weren’t for Xue Qinghe insisting that she follow Tang Yuehua to learn the zither, she would have left long ago!
Chu Qin noticed Xue Ke’s expression, but he quickly and nonchalantly also embraced Shui Yue’er, turning towards Xue Qinghe, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, why aren’t you at the front courtyard learning the zither? Why bring Princess Xue Ke to my backyard?"
"Xue Ke said she wanted to ask you about some questions regarding Soul Power cultivation!" Xue Qinghe said with a slight tilt at the corner of his mouth.
"Ah, big brother, what I..." Xue Ke started in surprise.
"Ahem!"
Before Xue Ke could object, Xue Qinghe coughed a few times and then continued, "Sister, don’t forget that by the end of this year, not only does our father want to assess your zither skills but also requires you to reach level 40!"
"What?" Xue Ke’s mouth fell open slightly, "Big brother, are you serious?"
"Yes!" Xue Qinghe affirmed, "You are currently at level 32, and in two months it will be the end of the year. If you want to advance eight levels within two months, there’s only one person who can make it happen!"
"Who?" Xue Ke immediately asked.
"Of course, it’s Young Master Chu!" Xue Qinghe replied.
"Him?" Xue Ke pointed at Chu Qin, somewhat incredulously, "Big brother, although his talent is great, he is so young! No matter how powerful he is, he surely can’t be better than those Soul Sages and Soul Douluos in the imperial palace!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qin was slightly startled; why did he feel like Qian Renxue was trying to find an opportunity for him to spend time with Xue Ke?
"Xue Ke, don’t underestimate Young Master Chu!" Xue Qinghe stated with a slight sternness, "The Qinglong Battle Team won the Senior Soul Master Elite Competition championship. You know that, right?"
"I know!" Xue Ke nodded.
"Let’s not talk about the entire team then! Let me tell you, my teacher, Sect Master Ning’s daughter, Ning Rongrong, was only ten years old and at level 21 when she started following Young Master Chu, and now she is fifteen. Guess how old she is?"
Xue Ke shook her head.
"Level 53!" Xue Qinghe replied, "Fifteen years old, level 53, you should understand what that means, right? Additionally, Zhu Zhuqing at fifteen is level 54, and Miss Xiaowu at fifteen is level 54 as well! They had no mentors and gained their experience through adventures with Young Master Chu! So, do you still think Young Master Chu can’t compare to those mentors in the imperial palace? Put another way, is there such an exceptional student in the imperial palace, or even in the Martial Soul Hall?"
Xue Ke was completely stunned!
Not to mention others, just the three people Xue Qinghe has just introduced are enough to rank among the top five talents of the known Soul Land!
"Do you think Young Master Chu has so many women around him just because of his handsome face?" Xue Qinghe continued.
"Big brother has used his own connections to finally make Young Master Chu take you as an apprentice! Now it seems, you don’t need it! What a pity, though, the emperor said that if you don’t reach Soul Ancestor by this year, you’ll be married off!" Xue Qinghe said with a sigh.
Chu Qin had long known what Qian Renxue was selling in her gourd, and of course, he said nothing!
"Big brother, I was wrong!" Xue Ke immediately responded upon hearing this.
"You shouldn’t be apologizing to me but to Young Master Chu, oh, no, your teacher!" Xue Qinghe replied.
"Chu Qin, I am a princess, I command you to teach me how to improve my Soul Power!" Xue Ke paused, then turned to Chu Qin and spoke with a slight imperative tone.
"Hahaha!" Seeing this scene, Xue Qinghe laughed thrice, "Xue Ke, let alone you, even I, or even the emperor, can’t command Chu Qin!"
Chu Qin just showed a faint smile.
"Young Master Chu... no, teacher, Xue Ke was wrong!" Xue Ke faced a dilemma, and after pondering for a while, she said to Chu Qin, "Please, teacher, take Xue Ke as your apprentice!"
"Yue’er, what do you think? Should I take her on?"
Chu Qin turned to Shui Yue’er and asked.
"Accept her..." Shui Yue’er nodded, "After all, she is Your Highness the Princess!" Shui Yue’er thought to herself that if Chu Qin accepted Xue Ke, his status in the Tiandou Empire would surely rise significantly. Who wouldn’t want their beloved to live a better life?
"Since Yue’er has said so, I will accept you as my apprentice!" Chu Qin replied.
"Thank you, teacher!" Xue Ke immediately bowed.
Xue Ke’s figure could be described as perfect, and her clothes did not cover her neck, so from Chu Qin’s angle, he could see a deep ravine and two perfect mounds.
Suddenly, Chu Qin’s eyes lit up.
"Hmph!" Xue Qinghe saw this and coughed twice, then said, "Xue Ke, since you have now taken Young Master Chu as your teacher, you should stay at the Azure Dragon Academy for the time being, okay?"
"Ah?" Both Chu Qin and Xue Ke were startled.
"Don’t worry, the Azure Dragon Academy is very safe! Plus, Aunt Yuehua is here too, which will be convenient for your study of the zither!" Xue Qinghe looked at Xue Ke, "Right, Young Master Chu?"
"That’s fine," Chu Qin nodded, "Xue Ke, then you’ll move over here!"
"Alright then, big brother, teacher!" Xue Ke nodded, "I’ll go back and pack up, then come over!"
"Mhm, then you and the guard team go back to the imperial palace first!" Xue Qinghe replied, "Young Master Chu and I still have some things to discuss!"
"Okay!" Xue Ke said, then turned and walked towards the entrance of the Azure Dragon Academy.
"Miss Yue’er, may I borrow your Chu Qin for a moment!" Seeing this, Xue Qinghe turned to Shui Yue’er and said.
"Yue’er, you go back to your room first, I’ll come to find you later!" Chu Qin said with a smile to Shui Yue’er.
"Alright!" Shui Yue’er then left with a smile on her face.
