Chapter 261 Qian Renxue's Investment
"grateful?"
Ye Qifeng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then pondered for a moment. After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at Qian Renxue, his eyes suddenly filled with tenderness.
Just as Qian Renxue was slightly flustered by his gaze, he suddenly thanked her sincerely:
"Thank you, Xue'er."
"Is a simple thank you all it takes?"
Qian Renxue's forehead immediately creased with annoyance, speechless. She couldn't help but think to herself, "What the heck? You spent so long gazing at me with such affection, and all you got was a thank you?"
"Haha, just kidding."
Ye Qifeng laughed heartily, then quickly composed himself and said seriously, "Xue'er, how do you want me to thank you? Tell me?"
"Oh? Any way you want to thank me is fine?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's dark expression vanished, and she suddenly smiled happily.
"Yes, I'll do anything I can." Ye Qifeng nodded in affirmation.
Qian Renxue frowned and thought for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Okay, you just have to grant me one request."
"Okay." Ye Qifeng didn't think too much about it and immediately nodded in agreement, then asked, "What are your requirements?"
"I haven't decided yet. I'll talk about it when I've thought it through."
Qian Renxue smiled, her eyes subtly revealing a hint of triumph.
At this moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly spoke:
"By the way, Xue'er, last time we sparred in the secret room, I won a bet. Can I make a request of you?"
"Yes." Qian Renxue paused for a moment, then asked blankly, "You're going to use it now?"
Glancing at the deserted, quiet academy, she felt a slight tremor in her heart. She couldn't help but wonder, what if Xiao Feng made some inappropriate request at this moment? I'm not prepared for that.
Qian Renxue was thinking a bit too much at the moment, and her thoughts seemed to be a bit off.
However, Ye Qifeng didn't have such ulterior motives, nor did he make any inappropriate requests as Qian Renxue had imagined.
All I heard him say was:
"I don't mean to use it. I mean, since we both owe each other a favor, why don't we just settle it off?"
"no."
Qian Renxue resolutely refused.
I finally got a promise from you, how could I give it back so easily? No way!
"Why not? Wouldn't it be better to cancel each other out? That way, we'd be even."
Night Wind didn't understand.
"Why are you so nosy? If it's no way, it's no way."
Qian Renxue turned her head away haughtily, and snorted to herself:
"You brat, I just want you to owe me something, to make you think about me all the time. And you actually want to settle it with me?"
"Hmph, I would never agree to that! Don't even think about it!"
"Oh well."
Ye Qifeng sighed softly to himself.
At this moment, he had no idea what Qian Renxue was thinking, nor did he know her feelings for him.
Ye Qifeng didn't take the bet he won in the sparring match a few days ago to heart, since he couldn't possibly make any demands on Qian Renxue.
Moreover, it doesn't really matter to Qian Renxue whether she asks for anything or not. As long as she asks, he will do his best to satisfy her, no matter what it is.
Therefore, there is no need for either of them to make any demands or impose any constraints. It would be better to simply cancel each other out to avoid causing Qian Renxue any trouble.
Night Wind's idea was simple.
However, since Qian Renxue disagrees, then forget it.
"Alright, didn't we want to see what this Caron Academy is like? Now that we're here, let's not just stand around and go take a good look."
At this moment, Qian Renxue changed the subject and spoke in a clear, ethereal voice.
"Okay."
"Let's go then."
The two landed near the courtyard wall, where there was a lush green meadow.
The area is surrounded by lush flowerbeds, and a quiet stone path winds through it, connecting to the main road that leads directly into the courtyard from the gate not far away.
The avenue is lined with lush and tall trees.
Those are the Champs-Élysées trees unique to the northern part of the Heavenly Dou Empire, carrying a refreshing fragrance as they sway in the gentle breeze.
Not far away.
A winding stream flows through the college.
The clear stream meanders through the low-lying areas within the college, forming a sizable lake.
The babbling water flowing from the stream and the ripples constantly spreading across the lake indicate that this is living water.
Purely natural and pollution-free.
The streams and lakes appear to be naturally formed, not man-made, and have not undergone much human intervention.
The only place that could interfere is perhaps the covered bridge and pavilions standing over the stream.
However, the natural streams and lakes, along with the man-made covered bridges and pavilions, complement each other to create a unique landscape.
Caron College is very large.
It stretches as far as the eye can see, with no end in sight.
There are mountains, water, and lakes, and in the distance, there is a tranquil and lush forest.
Of course, besides these, there are also the most important architectural facilities.
The college's buildings are predominantly spired, with almost uniform heights of about seven or eight stories, and are all built around the lake, presenting a semi-enclosed layout.
These buildings include student dormitories, teaching buildings, teachers' residences, office buildings, and artificially constructed simulated training grounds, among others.
The academy's buildings were constructed in an orderly manner and divided into several areas, such as the dormitory area, the teaching area, the training area, and so on.
However, these buildings were not open to the public at the time; they had been sealed off and covered with tape.
Ye Qifeng and Qian Renxue did not tear off the seal and force their way in to check.
The two walked through the academy, looking around and marveling at the sights, both feeling very satisfied.
"I didn't expect this college to be so good."
Ye Qifeng exclaimed, "All the facilities are new and well-preserved. There's not much that needs to be modified; they're practically ready to use right out of the box."
"It's really good."
Qian Renxue nodded and smiled in admiration, "Not only are the facilities complete, but the environment is also so beautiful. I can't help but want to invest in it and buy it."
"Isn't it in your hands now?"
Ye Qifeng asked in surprise.
"That's different."
Qian Renxue shook her head and said, "Although this academy is currently under my control, it ultimately belongs to the Heaven Dou Royal Family and is not my private property."
"But forget it, Sister Erlong needs it more. Besides, these material possessions are of no use to me."
After listening to Qian Renxue's words, Ye Qifeng pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something. He smiled slightly and suddenly suggested:
"Why don't you invest in Sister Erlong's academy, Xue'er?"
"Investing in Sister Erlong's academy?"
Qian Renxue was stunned. She had just said it casually and didn't really mean to invest, but she didn't expect Ye Qifeng to take it to heart.
"yes."
Ye Qifeng nodded. "As you know, Sister Erlong's identity is merely that of a commoner Soul Master, with no reputation or power on the surface."
"If she wants to establish an academy in Tiandou City and gain a foothold, she will inevitably need to be backed by a powerful force."
"Otherwise, it would be very difficult to establish a foothold."
"Are you trying to make me Erlong's backer?"
Qian Renxue blinked, and she immediately understood Ye Qifeng's intention.
"Xue'er, you are really smart, you understand things very quickly."
Ye Qifeng nodded, first praising Qian Renxue, and then said to her:
"Your identity in Heaven Dou City is the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou. If you are backing and protecting the academy, no one will dare to bully Sister Erlong."
"But."
Qian Renxue's eyes brightened slightly, showing some interest, but she also asked with some worry, "Will Sister Erlong agree?"
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Sister Erlong about it later, and she'll agree."
Night Seven Wind replied.
"Okay, if Sister Erlong agrees, then I have no problem."
Qian Renxue spoke softly, then changed the subject and asked:
"Then, in what capacity should I invest? As the Crown Prince of Tiandou, or...?"
"Let's do it in your name."
Ye Qifeng said, "If it were the Crown Prince of Tiandou, Sister Erlong would have reservations and probably wouldn't accept it. She doesn't like to have too much to do with nobles or the Tiandou royal family."
"However, if it were you, I think she would be very happy to accept it."
After a pause, Ye Qifeng pondered for a moment before continuing:
"If Sister Erlong asks about it later, Xue'er, just say that you and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe are distant relatives, like distant cousins."
"In this way, the Crown Prince of Tiandou can rightfully become the academy's background, and Sister Erlong will not harbor any resentment or suspicion because of this."
"After all, this connection comes indirectly from you."
"That's a good idea."
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands in agreement, and then asked:
"How much money should I invest?"
How many Soul Coins do you have?
"Not much, I only have a little over ten million at my disposal."
"Isn't that enough?"
Ye Qifeng hesitated for a moment, but then he realized it was understandable. After all, he was the Crown Prince of the Empire, and it would be strange if he didn't have a large amount of gold soul coins.
"You don't need that much. Investing one or two million is enough. Too much is not good and can easily arouse suspicion."
"Then it's settled."
With the matter settled, the two continued to stroll around Caron Academy.
"Xue'er, besides Kalon Academy, are there any other Soul Master academies in Heaven Dou City?"
At this moment, Ye Qifeng suddenly asked.
"If you're referring to advanced soul master academies, then there aren't any."
Qian Renxue answered immediately.
"there is none left?"
Ye Qifeng turned his head to look at her and asked in surprise.
"Um."
Qian Renxue nodded and then explained softly:
"Speaking of which, this Kalon Academy is the only advanced soul master academy in the entire Heaven Dou City."
"Within Heaven Dou City, the rest of the Soul Master academies are all low-level and mid-level Soul Master academies, while the high-level Soul Master academies are all located outside Heaven Dou City."
"Even the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which is directly under the Heaven Dou royal family, is the same."
There are three basic reasons why those advanced soul master academies do not locate their academies within Heaven Dou City.
"The first reason is to prevent the luxury of Tiandou City from affecting the students' cultivation."
"The second reason is that land prices in Tiandou City are very high, with every inch of land being extremely valuable. Even in the poorest and most backward West City, prices are not low, while land outside the city is much cheaper."
"The third reason, and also the most important one."
"That's because there isn't enough space in Heaven Dou City to build a large-scale advanced Soul Master academy."
"The most important simulation training ground of the advanced soul master academy, as well as various complete facilities, require a large area to guarantee."
"The area around Kalon Academy is arguably the only piece of land in the entire Heaven Dou City that is barely suitable for building a large-scale advanced Soul Master academy. Its area is not large, only about one-third the size of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"I see."
After hearing Qian Renxue's explanation, Ye Qifeng immediately understood. "So, we got a bargain by getting into this academy?"
"It's not exactly like getting a bargain."
Qian Renxue shook her head in denial, and then explained:
"Because of its location in the western part of the city, this land is not favored by nobles and has been left unattended as a natural scenic spot for a long time."
"Until the great nobleman Caron bought it and built this academy."
"Later, Caron fell from power in a political struggle, and the academy fell into the hands of the Heaven Dou royal family. It has been quite a while now, but it still can't be transferred."
"It's because this land and this academy are like a chicken bone to the nobles."
"The high-ranking nobles look down on it, the low-ranking nobles can't afford it, and the middle-ranking nobles can afford it, but they're reluctant to part with it."
"As a result, no one is willing to take it on."
Finally, Qian Renxue said with a smile in her phoenix eyes:
"That's why the Heaven Dou Royal Family reduced the price, cutting it from over ten million gold soul coins to eight million gold soul coins. Otherwise, it might have become a rotten commodity in their hands."
Even so, no one in the academy is willing to take over.
"I only found out about this academy after you told me you needed such a place, so I sent someone to find out about it and then transferred it to you and Sister Erlong."
"Otherwise, who knows when it will be possible to transfer it."
After listening, Ye Qifeng chuckled and said:
"No matter what, we still got a great deal; it was definitely worth the money."
"Perhaps for those nobles, this academy is indeed like a chicken bone."
"The academy they set up will inevitably only recruit noble students, and the academy is located in the west city, where commoners gather. Noble children do not want to associate with commoners, so naturally they will not like it here."
"Our academy is different; it only admits ordinary students, and its location in the West City, where ordinary people gather, is the best choice."
"also."
Ye Qifeng paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Most importantly, this is the significance of this academy."
"It is especially meaningful for Sister Erlong, as it is her lifelong wish."
"Xiao Feng, you're so good to Sister Erlong!"
At this moment, Qian Renxue suddenly said something inexplicable.
"Cough cough, it's alright. I just wanted to help her fulfill her wish."
Ye Qifeng coughed twice and quickly offered an explanation.
For some reason, he seemed to sense a sour taste in Qian Renxue's words.
