C17 Flame pool

Qin Xuan swung his right hand and casually threw Qin Fan on the ground. After that, he walked down the Battle stage and arrived in front of old man Yunshan.

"Teacher." Qin Xuan respectfully bowed as his previously overbearing and arrogant aura instantly vanished. At this moment, he was like a well-behaved young man, showing respect to his own teacher.

"Alright!" old man Yunshan said excitedly as he raised his hands. He was truly happy to have such a disciple join his clan.

Qin Xuan slightly nodded his head as he once again lifted his foot to arrive in front of Duan Ruoxi. He said guiltily: "Princess, this matter cannot be avoided, I hope that you will forgive me.

Before, Qin Xuan did not know Duan Ruoxi's true identity, so he called her Miss Duan. But now that he knew that she was a noble princess, the way he addressed her naturally changed.

Hearing that, the displeasure in Duan Ruoxi's heart disappeared without a trace, and he chuckled: "Sure, I have something that I need your help with, but you have to accompany me for a few days, since this matter is of great benefit to you."

"Oh?" A hint of doubt flashed through Qin Xuan's eyes, but he still nodded his head and laughed: "Since the princess has spoken, then I, Qin, will naturally cooperate fully!"

This brat was actually so familiar with the princess, and looked like their relationship was not that simple either. This made them envious and jealous, and only after seeing Qin Xuan did they remember that it was the princess who brought him in, so they should have thought of this level long ago.

When Qin Rui saw this scene, his face turned green and white, becoming extremely ugly. Not long ago, he had been using the intent of offending the princess to threaten Qin Xuan, but now, it seemed like it was just a joke.

"Princess, there are still people watching you within the Royal Capital. I'm afraid this isn't a good idea."

Just as everyone was lamenting about the relationship between the two of them, Xie Yu suddenly spoke out, as though he was hinting at something, but Qin Xuan did not understand what he was saying.

Duan Ruoxi's beautiful eyes immediately squinted, and said indifferently: "Impudent, when did it become your turn to interfere in my matters?"

"You … Then, the princess should think about the consequences! " Xie Yu's face immediately turned cold, in terms of status, he was indeed inferior to Duan Ruoxi, but regarding that person, he had no choice but to step forward.

"Let's go." Duan Ruoxi directly ignored Xie Yu and led the group of people to immediately turn around and leave.

Qin Xuan looked at old man Yunshan, and just as he was about to speak, he saw him smile and say: "There's no need to explain anything to me, just follow the princess, even if you don't go for a few days, I'll still let you go."

After he finished speaking, the old man Yunshan took the Cloud Sky Sect's side and soared into the sky, leaving with the Cloud Sky Sect's group.

Immediately after, Royal College brought the severely injured Qin Fan, Azure Sky Sword Sect and the other Rankers and left, leaving only the young geniuses of the large families, Qin Mansion and the rest.

Following the departure of many people, the Qin Mansion became empty in an instant. It was no longer as lively and bustling as it was before, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Qin Xuan's gaze swept across everyone in the Qin Mansion, and finally found Xue Er in the corner, and directly walked over to her. He stroked her head and gently said: "I've made you suffer, this time you can leave together with me, I'll bring you to see the outside world."

"Yes." Xue Er could not help but have tears appear in his eyes again, as each and every tear could not help but flow down, and actually couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Xue Er had always silently taken care of him, but he left the Qin Mansion in three years. In these three years, it was unknown just how many grievances she had endured, and she was determined to make up for them in her heart.

Mo Yuyan watched Qin Xuan holding Xue Er in a lonely manner, and did not have much regret in her heart. When it came to the relationship between Qin Xuan and herself, she was undoubtedly the closest of them all.

Under the gazes of everyone in the Qin Mansion, Qin Xuan brought Xue Er and left the Qin Mansion.

"Looks like we were really wrong." The expression on the Great Elder's face instantly dimmed as he waved his hands, gesturing to the crowd. At this moment, he seemed as though he had aged a hundred years.

Everything that had happened today was originally planned by him. Qin Fan's name should shake the heavens and attract the attention of countless people, so his position in the Qin Mansion would truly become one of the first-rate families.

Because of a person's existence, all of this was completely off track.

Qin Xuan brought Xue Er to the manor that was guarded by the Sky Flame City. He already knew that Duan Ruoxi was the identity of a princess, so she should be here right now.

"Please let me know, Qin Xuan requests to see the princess." Qin Xuan said to the guard.

The person took a glance at Qin Xuan and then at Xue Er who was beside him. He immediately understood and said, "The princess has already been waiting inside for a long time, she said that if Young Master Qin is here, we can just directly enter!"

Hearing this, Qin Xuan's face revealed a slight smile, and he walked into the Guardian Palace with Xue Er.

Both sides of the road were filled with flowers, plants and trees, the scenery was pleasing to the eye. After Qin Xuan settled Xue Er down, he went to see Duan Ruoxi alone.

After making quite a few turns, Qin Xuan finally saw an emerald green colored forest. There were towering ancient trees that were hundreds of meters tall, and every ancient tree seemed to be covered with a thin layer of silver muslin that flickered with a weak light.

Duan Ruoxi stood under the ancient tree, and a seven leaf flower appeared behind her back. A blue halo appeared faintly, and the flower petals continuously rotated, pulling on the spirit energy of heaven and earth, and intertwined with the ancient tree. Streams of energy visible to the naked eye was peeled out from the ancient tree, landed in the midst of the flower petals, and finally disappeared.

"Blue origin soul!" Surprise flashed across Qin Xuan's face, he never thought that Duan Ruoxi's talent was actually so extraordinary, not the slightest bit weaker than Qin Fan's.

"You're here." Duan Ruoxi smiled and walked towards Qin Xuan.

"May I know what matter Princess needs my help for?" Qin Xuan asked.

Duan Ruoxi smiled sweetly and did not answer Qin Xuan's question. Instead, she asked, "Just now, Young Master Qin saw my origin soul, what do you think?"

Qin Xuan's expression became serious. So it turned out that she intentionally let him see her origin soul, after thinking for a moment, she replied honestly: "Princess's origin soul s are of a very high rank, but they seem to be wood type. They tend to transmit and absorb energy, their actual attacks are not strong, and their defense is also very average."

After hearing Qin Xuan's rather straightforward words, not only was Duan Ruoxi not angry, he even revealed an unusual expression, and praised: "I never thought that not only would Young Master Qin's strength be so extraordinary, even his eyesight is so sharp, to be able to see through the strengths and weaknesses of my origin soul with a single glance, is truly worthy of Ruoxi's admiration."

"Princess, please don't tease me. It's just a cursory talk. I can't make it onto the stage." Qin Xuan waved his hand and laughed bitterly, then his eyes suddenly lit up and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the princess' origin soul is related to something that requires my help this time?"

Duan Ruoxi gave Qin Xuan a deep glance, not expecting him to guess all of her thoughts. In his heart, he gave her a higher opinion, and said slowly: "Does Young Master Qin know about the Sky Flame Fire Pool?"

"Sky Flame Fire Pool? Seems like I've never heard of it. " Qin Xuan answered truthfully. He had grown up in the Sky Flame City and later trained at the vulture mountain. He did not know much about the other places.

"Sky Flame Fire Pool is a treasure trove of my Tianyu Country, buried in the center of Splinter Soul Mountain, it used to erupt once every three hundred years, but this time, it is actually ahead of schedule by a hundred years, it can help the martial cultivator refine his body, broaden his meridians, and can even change his physique. It is extremely strange, and every time it erupts, it will cause countless people to enter the Splinter Soul Mountain to look for opportunities, the competition will be intense." Duan Ruoxi patiently explained.

"Splinter Soul Mountain!" Qin Xuan suddenly remembered that the first time she saw Duan Ruoxi was in the outskirts of the Splinter Soul Mountain. It seemed that she was already prepared to enter the Sky Flame Fire Pool at that time, and even the beast tide that day was probably related to the Sky Flame Fire Pool.

"Princess, you mean I should protect you and enter the Sky Flame Fire Pool?" Qin Xuan asked.

Duan Ruoxi lightly nodded his head, and said in a soft voice: "Mn, there is a powerful restriction power in the Sky Flame Fire Pool, if you can't enter, then you will definitely die if you don't enter. Therefore, there are many strong practitioners in the Imperial Family who are unable to protect me, and with my origin soul, it is impossible for me to defeat those competitors, not to mention that there are people from other places who would come to the Sky Flame Fire Pool every time the Sky Flame Fire Pool opened, they might not care about my identity."

"People from other places?" A sharp glint flashed across Qin Xuan's eyes, and he asked: "Could it be martial cultivator s that are not Tianyu Country?"

At this moment, Duan Ruoxi sighed, and said helplessly: "There are many nations of the same size surrounding Tianyu Country, and among these countries, Tian Yu is considered to be at the bottom of the rankings. No matter if it is the number of heaven's pride level experts, or strength, they are all at a disadvantage.

"If it wasn't for the fact that there is something of utmost importance to me in the Sky Flame Fire Pool, I wouldn't have to take such a huge risk to fight them for it." Duan Ruoxi's delicate eyebrows were filled with worry. She then looked at Qin Xuan and gave a light smile as she said, "If Young Master Qin is unwilling, Ruoxi will definitely not force you. She will definitely look for another method."

After Qin Xuan heard this, his expression immediately became serious, and said solemnly: "What do you mean by that, Princess? "How can I be an ungrateful person? I have long been a friend of the princess. Since the princess is in trouble, it is my duty to do so, whether it be in terms of friendship or in terms of repaying the favor."

"Just a friend?" Duan Ruoxi raised her head, she looked at Qin Xuan and spoke softly, but after she finished speaking, she felt that she had said the wrong thing, and her face was flushed red, and she could not help but lower her head.

Qin Xuan was also stunned. His heart was a little restless, and the gaze he looked at Duan Ruoxi with became gentle all of a sudden.

She was unparalleled beauty, devastatingly beautiful woman, extremely intelligent and understanding, how could Qin Xuan not be moved by such a woman, it was just that she was never mentioned about it in his heart.

"Princess, when will Sky Flame Fire Pool open?" Qin Xuan finally broke through the awkward situation and said.

"The Sky Flame Fire Pool will open in seven days, rest well during these few days. Leave the rest to me." Duan Ruoxi lowered his head and softly said, his two hands and index fingers lightly touching each other, revealing a rare demeanor of a little girl, causing the heat in his heart to once again unconsciously rise up, and his face becoming flushed red.

"Er, if there is nothing else, Princess, I will take my leave now." With that, Qin Xuan ran away like a gust of wind. He truly could not resist Duan Ruoxi's charm, if he stayed together again, perhaps something unexpected would happen, no matter how brave Qin Xuan was, he would not dare to do something like that.

"Coward." Duan Ruoxi chuckled, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and his expression quickly darkened, revealing a look of worry between his brows.
