17: First Meeting with Qian RenxueXiao Han knew that there were only a handful of people in this world who understood magical herbs.
Yue Guan, the chrysanthemum elder of the Spirit Hall, is a true flower lover. He has been studying flowers and plants all his life and is familiar with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
Tang San comes from another world. With the help of the Tang Sect's secret book "Xuantian Baolu", he can accurately identify various magical herbs, so he can also be considered one.
There is also the Po Yi clan's patriarch Yang Wudi and his younger brother Yang Wushuang. However, it is still unknown how much these two brothers know about the immortal grass.
Although Dugu Bo was quite knowledgeable about various medicinal herbs, he didn't even recognize the magical herbs in his own medicine garden, which made him no different from a layman.
Xiao Han knew that these people could not help him.
Go ask Qian Renxue, who is pretending to be the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, for help. Maybe there is still a chance.
The Spirit Hall has the most abundant resources, and treasure books such as "Illustrated Guide to Immortal Herbs" should be included among them.
Only then did Lin Zhiruo understand Xiao Han's purpose.
"Stinky boy, after all, it's all about the herbs."
"Mom, that's not just any herb, it's magic herb."
Lin Zhiruo gave Xiao Han a look of contempt.
"Your idea is very naive. Why would His Royal Highness help you? He might think you are fooling around like I do."
"That's why I asked you to go with me. As the vice president of Tianshui College, you should give me some face, right? You don't have to worry about anything else, as long as I meet him."
Xiao Han's eyes were determined, and he seemed to be confident about his plan.
Lin Zhiruo smiled helplessly.
"Okay, I'll take you to see him. But he is the crown prince of the empire after all. If you cause any trouble, I won't forgive you."
"Don't worry, Mom. I can't hurt anyone but you, hehe~~"
The next day, the two set out and headed straight for Tiandou City.
We reached our destination in a few days.
Tiandou City, as the heartland of the Tiandou Empire, is breathtakingly prosperous.
The towering city walls rise into the clouds like a giant dragon, guarding the endless glory and tranquility of this imperial city.
The city's wide and straight streets are lined with shops and crowded with people. Various colorful signs complement each other, making the city very lively.
Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo shuttled through the bustling streets and soon arrived outside the palace.
The huge palace shines with golden light in the sun, demonstrating the majesty and dignity of the royal family.
Lin Zhiruo found a guard and told him her purpose.
The "Water" token she carried with her was awarded by Emperor Xue Ye himself, and it could prove her status as the dean of Tianshui College.
The other side.
Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was reading in the study when a guard suddenly came to report.
"Your Highness, Dean Lin of Tianshui College wishes to see you."
After hearing this, Xue Qinghe immediately put down the book in his hand, looking confused.
"Dean Lin? Is she alone?"
"She also brought a teenager with her."
Xue Qinghe stood up, thinking: A teenager? Could it be the child she adopted? I heard that he was born with full soul power, so he was admitted to Tianshui College as an exception.
"Got it. Take them to the side hall, I'll be there right away."
"yes."
Not long after, the guard returned.
"President Lin, sorry for the long wait. Please follow me."
Xiao Han and Lin Zhiruo smiled at each other, followed the guard, walked through several corridors, and came to a hall.
Xue Qinghe hasn't arrived yet, so the two are waiting here.
"Mom, I told you that the Crown Prince should give some respect to the Vice-President of Tianshui College."
"Stop talking nonsense, little brat. When you meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later, don't be so careless. Be serious."
"I know. But, Mom, I want to talk to him alone, okay?"
"What? You think I'm an eyesore? That has to be his will."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps outside the hall.
"Stop talking, the Crown Prince is here."
"Um."
Xue Qinghe walked into the hall and saw that the visitor was indeed Dean Lin.
He had met Lin Zhiruo and Dean Zhao at the Soul Master Competition that ended just a few months ago.
Seeing that the person coming was Xue Qinghe, Lin Zhiruo and Xiao Han bowed.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly.
"No need to be so polite, sorry for the long wait."
"Your Highness, you are too polite. We just arrived."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Xiao Han raised his head and could see Xue Qinghe's face clearly.
Xue Qinghe looked to be in his twenties. He was quite handsome, with a gentle and scholarly air between his brows and a faint yet friendly smile on his lips, which made people involuntarily like him.
He was dressed in an exquisite golden robe embroidered with intricate and delicate patterns, highlighting his noble status and extraordinary temperament.
Those deep eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, yet they inadvertently revealed the majesty and depth that a prince should have, making people dare not look directly at them for too long.
Xue Qinghe walked slowly towards the two of them, his every move and gesture showing the demeanor of a royal child.
"Dean Lin, this young man is very handsome and has an imposing manner. I guess he must be Xiao Han, right?"
There was some admiration in Xue Qinghe's words, and his gaze stayed on Xiao Han for a moment, seeming to be quite interested in this young man.
Lin Zhiruo nodded and responded:
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment. He is Xiao Han."
"President Lin personally brought him to see me, which shows how seriously he takes this matter. I wonder what important matters you two are here to discuss this time?"
As Xue Qinghe spoke, his eyes revealed wisdom and calmness, as if he was ready to deal with any situation.
This calm and unhurried attitude adds to his majesty and charm as a crown prince.
Lin Zhiruo replied respectfully,
"Your Highness is wise. We have come here to ask for a favor."
"Oh? Dean Lin, why don't you just tell me. I will definitely help you as long as I can do it."
"Thank you, Your Highness. Regarding this matter, my son Xiao Han wants to talk to you alone."
When Xue Qinghe heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his gaze fell on Xiao Han again.
From the moment he saw Xiao Han, Xue Qinghe felt that this young man was not simple.
Lin Zhiruo's words made Xue Qinghe even more interested in Xiao Han. He couldn't wait to know why this young man came.
Xue Qinghe waved gently to the guards behind him.
"You guys go down first and wait outside the temple."
"yes."
The guards retreated.
"Your Highness, this is my first time in the palace. If I accidentally said something wrong, I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
"Xiao Han is obviously a smart man. Dean Lin is overthinking."
Xue Qinghe always had a smile on his face, and feeling his kindness, Lin Zhiruo also stepped out.
Xiao Han and Xue Qinghe were the only ones left in the hall.
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Han was not at all timid.
He knew that hidden under Xue Qinghe's skin was Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall.
All in all, Qian Renxue has been lurking in the Tiandou Palace under the identity of Xue Qinghe for ten years.
