Chapter 94 What more sincerity do you want?_1

Not long after, with a "crack", the door slowly opened, and Du Gu Bo stood outside, his eyes slightly vacant...

At this moment, his memory had been erased by Xu Sheng, incomplete...

Therefore, he had not yet fully recovered from his daze.

Seeing Du Gu Bo return, Xue Ye and the others focused their attention on him...

Xue Xing looked at him urgently and asked, "Did you catch the person who poisoned him?"

This person dared to poison even Emperor Xue Ye, who knows if it would be one's own turn one day.

After Du Gu Bo entered, his blank moss-green eyes flickered, seeming to gain some clarity, and then he shook his head, "He escaped, but that person was indeed the poisoner!"

Compared to Xue Xing, Xue Ye was more concerned about Xue Qinghe's safety and said to Du Gu Bo anxiously, "Prince Du Gu, leave the poisoner be for now, please detoxify Qinghe first!"

It had already been a few hours since Xue Qinghe was poisoned, and every second was agonizing for Xue Ye.

Xue Qinghe, who had been "poisoned", observed Du Gu Bo's expression and thought to himself, "This Du Gu Bo seems different somehow, looking quite dazed!"

Could it be that Xu Sheng took action against him?

Otherwise, if Du Gu Bo had come back right away, he would surely have rushed to check if he was poisoned within himself!

On hearing Xue Ye's request, Du Gu Bo slowly nodded and walked over to Xue Qinghe, placing his hand on his shoulder again...

Indeed, the signs inside Xue Qinghe's body confirmed he had been poisoned. Du Gu Bo withdrew his hand and then took out a dark green pill from his Ruyi Baibao Pouch...

He handed it to Xue Qinghe, saying, "The Crown Prince is indeed poisoned, just swallow this pill, and the poison will be neutralized!"

After receiving the green pill, Xue Qinghe slowly put it into his mouth...

Gratitude shone in Xue Qinghe's eyes, "Many thanks, Prince Du Gu, Qinghe is deeply grateful."

After glancing at him, Du Gu Bo waved his hand casually, "It's nothing!"

Seeing that Xue Qinghe was unharmed after taking the green pill, Xue Ye finally let out the breath he was holding...

He then took a deep breath, his expression grave as he turned to Du Gu Bo, "Prince Du Gu, did you get a clear look at the poisoner's face?"

Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo shook his head, "The person was wearing a cloak, completely covering his face, but judging by the voice, it should be a young man!"

That was all he could remember, and the following sequence of memories seemed lost, with no clues no matter how hard he thought.

Even what had transpired between himself and the poisoner was a mystery.

Xue Qinghe silently affirmed, "A young man? It seems the one who helped me was indeed Xu Sheng."

The way Du Gu Bo was acting must also be Xu Sheng's handiwork, probably using some special method to erase some of his memory.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Xue Ye's eyes, "I see, it seems the poisoner has managed to escape from Prince Du Gu's hands, likely with the involvement of others."

Escaping from a Titled Douluo Level powerhouse would imply a significant conspiracy lurking beneath this affair.

Xue Xing pursed her lips and reminded, "Emperor Xue Ye, it's best to take precautions early on. The poisoner has failed this time, but he likely won't give up easily."

Xue Ye nodded, "After this incident, I will tighten the imperial palace's security. Should any suspicious individuals be discovered, I will show no mercy!"

As he finished speaking, an intense aura emanated from Xue Ye...

"As long as Your Majesty is aware, we will take our leave now," Xue Xing slowly rose from his seat, stating calmly.

His purpose in coming here was to maintain a good relationship with Xue Ye, but who could have expected such an incident to occur.

Forget about active cooperation, he didn't even want to stay in this place for a second!

Seeing his actions, Xue Ye's heart turned cold and she said disdainfully, "Hmm! Still the same character. So eager to make excuses to leave, isn't it just plainly because he's afraid it will bring disaster upon himself?"

Even though he was a prince, his courage was so small. If it were not for the fact that Xue Xing had a close relationship with her beloved fourth prince, Xue Beng, she would never have allowed him to secure the position of a prince.

She would have replaced him with someone else long ago!

Xue Xing slowly turned around and left, while Du Gu Bo gave Xue Ye a slight nod before following suit...

...

After speaking with Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe quickly approached the door of his room...

Gently pushing it open, the first thing he saw was a figure lying lazily on his bed...

It was none other than Xu Sheng, who had already been waiting there.

Upon seeing Xu Sheng's appearance, a touch of amazement flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes...

Now, his features were fully matured, and the terrifying cold aura was gone. Instead, he exuded an infinite charm, making him seem like a person worth getting to know at first glance.

Lying on the bed, Xu Sheng heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes, looking at Xue Qinghe by the door, his face full of tenderness as he said, "You've come?

Facing the tender Xu Sheng, she suppressed her curiosity and pretended to be indifferent, "Yes, I've come. But shouldn't you get off my bed?"

However, her heart started to beat nervously, especially her heart, which she could feel was racing...

"Alright," Xu Sheng replied softly before getting up from Xue Qinghe's bed...

The latter glanced at him and then casually took a seat on one of the chairs...

Seeing this, Xu Sheng took a seat closer to her...

Xue Qinghe swallowed nervously with her delicate neck, then looked at Xu Sheng and braced herself to say, "Thank you for this time, otherwise I would have been in danger."

He merely smiled softly, "Ren Xue, there's no one else here. There's no need to speak through that mask, right?"

Speaking with Xue Qinghe in this state always felt awkward; he much preferred Ren Xue's feminine demeanor which made him more fond of her.

Xue Qinghe gave him a resentful glare and retorted irritably, "Is it any of your business how I choose to speak?"

This guy had forced a kiss on her last time, and he still dared to bring up such a matter!

While she thought this, she was still honest enough to deactivate her spirit bone skill, transforming from Xue Qinghe back into her true appearance, which made other women jealous...

The proud Ren Xue pouted with her face flushed, "Well, are you satisfied now?"

Xu Sheng nodded and said with a smile, "Very satisfied, but it seems you still owe me a word of thanks, don't you?"

Upon hearing these words, Ren Xue responded with a mix of embarrassment and anger, "Xu Sheng, I've already thanked you just now. Don't push your luck!"

Xu Sheng leaned closer to Ren Xue, slowly lifting her chin with his hand, directing her soft lips towards his...

Then he said slowly, "If you're thanking me, shouldn't you show some sincerity? I did solve the threat of a Title Douluo for you, right?"

He found teasing Ren Xue like this quite entertaining...

Upon hearing this, Ren Xue immediately pushed away the hand Xu Sheng had under her chin, then buried her head low. Her soft palms clenched tightly, and with her face all red, her voice was soft as she said, "You... What more sincerity do you want?"
