Chapter 2565: Wanted_1
```
The next morning, Xu Sheng made his way to Xue Qinghe's palace. As soon as he entered, a faint fragrance greeted him…
Logically speaking, it was impossible for such a scent to linger in a palace where a man lived!
This further confirmed that the person residing here was not the real Xue Qinghe!
Xu Sheng was the first to speak, "Crown Prince, good morning!"
Xue Qinghe, who was flipping through books, glanced at him indifferently, "It's Xu Sheng, good morning!"
After receiving a response, Xu Sheng spoke again, "Crown Prince, do you have any matters that require my assistance?"
Xue Qinghe pondered for a moment, then pointed to the pile of books that resembled a small mountain beside him and said, "Well… then please trouble yourself with returning these books!"
These were the fruits of his labor from one night!
It was also to better play the role of "Xue Qinghe"!
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Yes, Your Highness… But why do you stay in the palace every day? Shouldn't you go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study?"
With the talent he had shown in front of Xue Ye, he should be given special training!
But these past few days, he hadn't gone to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Xue Qinghe frowned slightly, "That matter…"
Since he was to serve him, perhaps Xu Sheng was saying a bit too much…
Moreover, he hadn't quite put their status in proper perspective!
Perhaps it was time to remind him…
But just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the palace…
"Hurry, hurry, I have urgent news for the Crown Prince, let me in!"
"Hold on, we need to report to the Crown Prince!"
"Without permission, no one is allowed to enter the palace!!"
Soon, a guard responsible for vigilance knocked gently on the door and asked, "Your Highness, someone requests an audience!"
Xue Qinghe puzzled, "Who is it?"
The guard responded, "We're not sure of his identity, shall we send him away?"
Xue Qinghe hesitated before ordering, "No, let him in!"
After he spoke, the man seeking an audience hurried in…
Upon seeing him, the man quickly bowed and said, "I have seen Your Highness!!"
Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes, "What is it? Do you have business with me?"
He had no recollection of this man!
The man swallowed nervously, then glanced at Xu Sheng who was not far off, clearly hesitant…
Xue Qinghe immediately understood his implication and said to Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, please step outside!"
However, Xu Sheng blinked his eyes and replied, "Your Highness, the identity of this man is uncertain, and his intentions may not be pure."
Xue Qinghe pursed his lips, "This…"
Seeing this, the man hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I mean no harm, I just have something I need to inform you of!"
Being labeled like this, he wasn't even sure if he could walk out of the Tiandou Empire Palace!
To know that the Emperor of the Sky Dou Empire values Xue Qinghe most!
Xue Qinghe did not show any expression, "If there's something, speak here!"
The man clenched his teeth and braced himself, "Your Highness, you have been inside the imperial palace these past few days, surely you are unaware of the developments outside"
```
"Martial Soul Hall recently issued a wanted notice for a child aged six or seven. This is his portrait!"
Having said that, she passed over a very thin piece of drawing paper...
Xue Qinghe curiously took it and when he clearly saw the person in the portrait, his eyes revealed a trace of complexity...
"Xu Sheng, I didn't expect that Martial Soul Hall still isn't willing to let you go, even going so far as to issue a wanted notice!"
Her curiosity about what exactly Xu Sheng had done grew, enough to make Martial Soul Hall take such action!
Xu Sheng also leaned over to take a glance and discovered that it did indeed bear some resemblance to himself...
But he still spoke with an unchanged expression, "Crown Prince, Martial Soul Hall is maliciously distorting my image. This portrait doesn't look like me at all!"
Xue Qinghe laughed lightly, "That's not the point. The point is, what exactly have you done to make Martial Soul Hall so persistent? Only if you tell me, can I protect you!"
"Otherwise, even if you stay within the imperial palace, you might not be safe!!"
The man was flustered and interjected, "That, Crown Prince, this person is a wanted criminal of Martial Soul Hall. You'd better expel him from the imperial palace!!"
By reporting this to the Crown Prince, he himself should be able to receive a handsome reward!
Xue Qinghe, however, ignored him and continued to probe Xu Sheng, "Well?"
The latter coughed, "Crown Prince, I'm also unclear about what's on me that Martial Soul Hall values so much. If I really had to say, it might be because I played pranks on Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo."
Seeing that he still wasn't spilling the truth, Xue Qinghe pressed again, "That's not a bit funny. Both Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo from Martial Soul Hall are Super Douluo Level fighters. With your ability, how could you possibly escape under their watch!"
Xu Sheng shook his head, "Then I'm not sure. But I believe that you, Crown Prince, will protect me, right?"
He hadn't confessed his identity to Qian Renxue yet. Should he rashly reveal it, it may trigger Citun and Snake Spear, who were possibly lurking in the shadows!
Xue Qinghe naturally couldn't say much, "Of course, you've joined the imperial palace, you are also a subject of the Tiandou Empire. We can't possibly let people from Martial Soul Hall do as they please!"
Having said that, she shifted her gaze towards the man in front and spoke, "Thank you for the information, you may withdraw now!"
The man was dumbfounded, "Your... Your Highness, is the matter just... just going to be left like this?"
Shouldn't they kick Xu Sheng out of the Tiandou Empire Palace and reward himself?
Even Xue Qinghe couldn't hide a trace of displeasure on her face, "What else would you suggest?"
The icy gaze gave him a chill, and he instantly abandoned his thoughts...
"No...nothing, Your Highness, I will take my leave then!"
Turning around, he made his escape in a scrambled hurry...
Xu Sheng's lips slightly curled upward, "Thank you for your trust, Crown Prince. I will go and return these books for you"
He gestured, also intending to leave...
Xue Qinghe, however, suddenly said, "Xu Sheng, I know the reason you're wanted by Martial Soul Hall isn't simple, but I still hope you can tell me the reason!"
Xu Sheng paused for a moment, then left anyway...
Xue Qinghe's gaze gradually sharpened, "Porcupine Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, what's your take on this?"
The two hiding in the shadows immediately appeared...
Serpent Spear Douluo spoke with a sinister tone, "This kid is no simple matter. Only when the impact is significant does Martial Soul Hall issue a wanted notice! What's more, it was personally ordered by Bi Bidong!"
Porcupine Douluo lifted his chin in contemplation, suggesting, "Goddess, how about this. Serpent Spear will protect you, and I'll return to the Worship Hall to gather some information!"
Xue Qinghe also felt his suggestion made some sense, nodding in agreement, "That makes sense. We must find out the reason Xu Sheng is wanted!"
If it doesn't affect the overall interests of Martial Soul Hall, perhaps they could draw him over to their side!
