The Unimportant Heiress

The trio group from Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had to wait for some time until the Prince would arrive. This was for the simple reason that their arrival was not told beforehand. Only just a few hours before they arrive.

While in old times before Xue Long, the Emperor would rush over to meet the members of one of the main supporters of their rule.

However, The current Crown Prince? He operates with his own set of values and rules.

Besides… he was very busy. Having his way with Gu Yue, Na'er and Gu Yuena, he has his priorities straight!

However, he was ready after making Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Ning Rongrong wait for just around 3 hours.

"My apologies for the wait. I was preoccupied. I wasn't expecting guests after just returning from Star Dou Forest." Xue Long said that as he walked through the doors. He was closely followed by Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu. One was fire and the other one was Ice.

Quite the contrast, while he would usually have Na'er with him… the girl is predisposed and in need of rest. 

While the reaction to the maids was slightly of a surprise from the Seven Treasure clan as they sensed these girls' cultivation power.

Though Ning Rongrong had stars in her eyes when she saw Prince's maids!

"It's alright my Prince, our meeting is quite an unexpected one. I wasn't expecting full mobilisation which came out of nowhere."

"Oh that. The clans of the Heavenly Dou Empire should not worry. I am not intending to mobilise them." Xue Long explained as he walked over to the group of two while their Sword Douluo was standing at the back. The old man was looking at the prince with a critical eye. 

Chen Xin can't sense anything from the Prince. It reminds him of Qian Daoliu which is unnerving in a sense. He can't understand the Crown Prince's power! All he could sense is the pressure he emits towards the Spirit energy around him. And it's a lot!

It reminds him of the Old Angel as well!

'Is he achieved the same kind of power as that old man!?'

A Rank of 99? Is it even possible to cross the whole 99's in just three years!? How is he even cultivating!?

"This is good to hear. I do apologise that I am only now meeting you. I was quite busy with my clan after you started making waves with your educational changes in Imperial Academy. After all, my clan has to stay with the recent trend." Ning Fengzhi explained his reasons for not meeting with Xue Long earlier.

He was not lying and not telling the truth. His clan had to adjust while at the same time he tried to read the political climate of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"It is all forgiven, I was busy with my things as well. Training, training my maids and training the future of my Empire." 

'And making sure they are all yours to command, Prince.' Ning Fengzhi knew what the prince was doing. He is making sure most of the younger generation are indebted to him. And if someone rebels, the very population will bring those traitors to him.

A taxing move. But it's worth it in the long term. And this so-called Martial Maniac is making moves worthy of expert politicians.

Though the Crown Prince hasn't realised that Ning Fengzhi respected him now more than ever. Not that he thought that far ahead. No… he only wants to collect all those martial spirits.

Does he realise that he is building an extra loyal base for his rule? Not at all. He doesn't care. He would most likely crush those rebellious elements himself!

Honestly, he would love some to appear so that he could exercise a little bit more.

"It's good that you mentioned training my Prince. I would like to ask if my daughter could study in the Imperial Academy?" 

"Hmm? Ning Rongrong?" 

"Yes. My Prince." The brown-haired girl slightly curtsy bow before him. There was a small amount of blush on her face. She is meeting one of her greatest crushes. The Crown Prince didn't even realise that this girl already has the hots for him… or is it a fangirl-like obsession like his Dolphin maid?

Well, it doesn't matter he is getting one of the best supporters he could have.

"I see… very well. I have a few support training regimen already." Xue Long casually agreed. The girl won't be joining his maid squad so he isn't that interested. At the moment his curiosity for support is with Ye Lingling and her pure healing Martial Spirit.

"Good to hear. Then Rongrong will be joining the Imperial Academy." Ning Fengzhi smiled while saying that. He already is thinking that Xue Long will pay extra attention when he sees Ning Rongrong support capacities!

However, if he studied more of Prince mannerism he might have noticed that there was barely any sort of enthusiasm from the Crown Prince…

This was pretty much the same situation with Dugu Yan. Their fathers are all about 'no you can't join the maids! You are my daughter!'... Then a couple of years later… 'you may join. Just make sure you make the Prince interested in you!' 

By this point, he got annoyed with these baseless proud people. There is nothing wrong with being proud. The only issue he sees is that this pride is baseless. Ning Rongrong Martial Spirit is good. But his maids which support Martial Spirits are already approaching the very same capacities as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

He doesn't have the very same enthusiasm as he had before when Dugu Yan joined first. After all, finding a girl with an impressive Beast Spirit is rarer than a support system for him at this moment!

It makes Dugu Yan rarer for him than Ning Rongrong!

"Yes. That would be for the best. I am still striving to make my Imperial Academy the very best in the Continent." 

Hearing how the Prince still wants to make the academy better made Ning Fengzhi sweatdrop. His clan barely gets any recruits thanks to the constant improvements and all sorts of events the Prince is making for his students.

The Clan Head can barely keep up with copying those methods as it is…

Sports events, training events, food events, all sorts of stuff… and it is only getting more and more famous!

"I see… good luck with our future endeavours, my Prince. My thanks for wasting some of your precious time on me." 

~~~~~~~Ning Rongrong~~~~~~

The Heiress of one of the greatest clans in Heavenly Dou Empire swiftly got an awakening call.

She thought that by joining Heavenly Dou Class she will have Prince's attention! Oh, how wrong she was!

The girl was dropped off by the maids in front of Qin Ming, the teacher of Heavenly Dou Class…

"Young Miss, it is an honour to teach the young Heiress of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, I am Qin Ming the teacher of Heavenly Dou Class and a Spirit Sage at Rank 78." 

Ning Rongrong slowly nodded with some clueless disappointment. She didn't know how to react to this…

"Umm…Teacher Ming… does the Prince teach in Heavenly Dou Class?" The light brown-haired girl asked with some hope. Maybe he gives some lectures?

"From time to time. Yes, however, he is dedicating himself to teaching his Maids class. He is the majority of the days there and he is instructing them in person."

As he said that the girl frowned deeply. She might find those maids pretty and elegant, but they are still just maids! Why do they get this much attention and not the truly talented people!?

The Crown Prince is not being fair and wasting talent like this!

"I see…is he making public lectures of some sort?" Now she asked thoughtfully. She can't wait to bring this up in one of the lectures.

"Indeed. There is one every week. And he brings up all sorts of subjects, to discuss they all are very informative."

Ning Rongrong slowly nodded. She has no doubt the Prince is the best at what he does. But she doesn't like how he is wasting talent like this!

Qin Ming sighed internally he has seen this before… several times… another girl is going to get humiliated because of her pride. 

All he could do is just hope that it's one of the not so ruthless maids… There is a wide array of fanatical maids who can be brutal when someone is questioning the Prince or his methods…

"Thank you for explaining to teacher Qin Ming."

"It's my pleasure. Let me find someone who could show you around."

The Clan Heiress slowly nodded as she was still thinking about this injustice…

Sure enough the teacher brought a feminine-looking boy with blonde hair.

"This is Yu Feng, he will show you around the Academy." 

Ning Rongrong slowly nodded as she looked at this…guy. She was slightly confused. Is he a guy or a girl? His skin is smooth. He definitely should be a girl… but…

"My name is Yu Feng! Nice to meet the heiress of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan! Let me show you around!

As he said that with quite a feminine tone the light brown-haired girl was even more certain that this guy is a girl!

"Sure… so… um did you get trained by the Prince?"

"Heh, that's the most common thing I hear here in Heavenly Dou Class. We do get more training for him than any other class. He tests many of us by character. According to him, it doesn't matter how good your spirit is if you don't train yourself.

So if you could guess many of the Noble children got demoted from Heavenly Dou Class. The Prince is quite ruthless with it. And no one could say anything about it." The way Yu Feng described the Prince… he could hear some sort of infatuation coming from this DEFINITELY girl!

'Now why is she hiding her gender like that!?' 

"I see… it makes sense…"

"Right! So let's start from top to bottom!"

~~~~~~~With Xue Long~~~~~~

The Crown Prince took his three new maids to the Moon Pavilion where they will go etiquette and other training.

Though one could see how all three of them are not that comfortable with all of this!

They heard 'rumours'! From other maids! They know how strict this training is going to be! Truthfully said, all three of them would get regular beat-ups than this!

Especially Xiao Wu, the bunny girl never was the one to follow such strict rules and behave like that.

However, seeing Great Beast Zi Ji behaving like a regular maid made her horrified that someone who is a 300 thousand beast is acting like that!

So she is much tamer than usual. Especially after being beaten up for getting rowdy with Huo Wu…

Yes, her pride has been shattered when her soft skills were useless… after a few tries. According to other maids, analytic skills are part of the maid's Modus Operandi. If you see an unknown skill you start to analyse it. This is why Xiao Wu was turned into black charcoal by Huo Wu.

The older maid was smug for beating her, however, then the older maids came over and beat both of them and took them in front of the Head Maid which made her do most labour intensive things.

Even now her back is hurting! The same thing could be said about the Zhu Sisters who still don't talk properly with each other.

And sometimes still end up brawling with each other. So yes… they have no idea what this woman will do to them. As all of them pass through her!

And according to most of the maids, the Crown Prince has a large amount of respect for this woman. This… this thing alone makes them quite terrified of her!

Sure enough, when they saw this elegant woman they didn't lower their defences because she looked quite harmless! 

Their weariness only increased when they saw how simply she was talking with the Prince!
