Chapter 2703: Change_1

Flander lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, in my opinion, shouldn't we at Shrek Academy consider relocating a bit to the surrounding areas?"

He was now somewhat traumatized, fearing that the next second might bring another appearance of a Titled Douluo!

Zhao Wuji decisively expressed his agreement, "I second that. I don't want to be targeted by a Titled Douluo again. This feeling is very ominous!"

Li Yusong hesitated for a moment, "Then… then let's just move a little, we old bones can't take so many scares!"

Shao Xin shrugged his shoulders, "It's all up to the dean to decide. I don't have any objections, although the relocation is going to take a bit of time!"

Lu Qibin sighed, "To move or not to move, I have no objections; I just hope we can teach the academy's children well."

Zhao Wuji clenched his fist and said earnestly, "We definitely will. Shrek Academy has poured so much of our effort into it; it definitely won't just fade away!"

Flander nodded and gave the order, "Then, pass the word down, and have the children help as well!"

Since the people from Martial Soul Hall have come to warn us, that means Shrek Academy indeed has potential!

In some way, it's also a good thing!!

...

Tiandou Empire Palace!

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes looked out the window, and with a complex expression, she said, "Several days have passed, and I don't know if Serpent Spear Douluo has relayed any information to Xu Sheng."

Seeing this, Porcupine Douluo beside her replied, "Don't worry, Holy Daughter, I know Serpent Spear. Since he has promised, he will definitely complete your order well!"

At his words, Qian Renxue could only sigh, "I hope so."

After all, Xu Sheng had only left the Tiandou Empire Palace a few days ago, and she felt inexplicably lonely!

Why was this?

Noticing the change in the other's expression, Porcupine Douluo narrowed his eyes, "Holy Daughter, you seem very anxious…"

Damn Xu Sheng, what kind of potion have you fed the Holy Daughter to make her show such an attitude!

This would have been simply impossible in the past!

Feeling a bit panicked, Qian Renxue hurriedly denied, "No… no, I am just… just…" She sighed, resigning herself to the fact, "At the end of the day, I'm alone, and now it's just back to how it used to be."

Porcupine Douluo, however, pressed on, "Is it because Xu Sheng has left?"

Sensing her cover was blown, Qian Renxue quickly turned her head away, forcing herself to calm down.

She explained, "How… how could that be? Xu Sheng and I haven't known each other for long. Of course, I am somewhat worried about his safety."

Soon after, she quickly added another sentence, "After all, he comes from the future and has much information that he could reveal to us. If something were to happen to him now, it would be a huge loss!"

"Porcupine Douluo, don't overthink it!"

Porcupine Douluo was silent for a while, then spoke again, "Holy Daughter, though I do not know how you see things, from what I can see, that Xu Sheng is completely using us!"

"Even if he really is from the future, he has not told us much of substance!"

He wasn't lying with these words; the information Xu Sheng had revealed was mostly inconsequential, and the help it provided them... could be counted on one hand!

No sooner had he finished than Qian Renxue's tone suddenly changed, she commanded coldly, "Enough, Porcupine Douluo. Since grandfather has said that I should make the judgments, all you need to do is obey orders! You must not act on your own!"

Porcupine Douluo clearly did not expect such an attitude from her and could only lower his head, echoing, "Yes, Holy Daughter!"

But soon, Qian Renxue realized that she had been too forceful…

She spoke with a hint of remorse, "I'm sorry, Porcupine Douluo, I didn't mean anything by what I said just now…"

The Porcupine Douluo chuckled lightly, caring little for the matter, "Holy Daughter, there's no need for such formalities. We've watched you grow since you were a child, and we certainly won't harbor any grudges over such a trivial matter!"

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, "Thank you..."

Then, the Spirit Skull burst into intense light, transforming back into Xue Qinghe...

"Then I shall take my leave now, for I do not know the purpose of this meeting with Xue Ye!"

Although returning to his true form after the transformation was preferable, he couldn't afford to be careless within the surroundings of the Tiandou Empire Palace!!

The Porcupine Douluo did not say much more, "Yes, Holy Daughter, rest assured your quarters are safe with me!"

...

In the Imperial Palace Great Hall!

Xue Ye, who sat at the higher end, greeted Xue Qinghe upon his arrival with a detached tone, "Qing He, you've arrived!"

The latter bowed slightly, respectfully responding, "Yes, Your Majesty, Father!"

"What matter does Father have for summoning me?"

Xue Ye did not answer immediately but instead asked back, "That can wait. Where is the little fellow who's always by your side?"

Xue Qinghe's gaze became alert, probing as he asked, "Are you referring to Xu Sheng?"

Xue Ye didn't deny and confirmed with a nod, "That's right! Where is he at this moment? Why hasn't he accompanied you here?"

He remembered that he had sent for both Xue Qinghe and Xu Sheng, but now the latter was nowhere to be seen!

Xue Qinghe contemplated for a moment then chose to answer truthfully, "Xu Sheng has... temporarily left the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. I believe he must have some important matter to attend to!"

Xue Ye nodded thoughtfully, "I see... Well, after all, he is a Title Douluo-level powerhouse."

If he wished to depart, Xue Ye knew he would be unable to stop him!

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe exclaimed in surprise, "Title Douluo??"

Why did Xue Ye know Xu Sheng's true strength, when he was sure he had never told him!

Seeing the shock on his face, Xue Ye looked slightly puzzled, "What? Has Xu Sheng not informed you about this?"

Xue Qinghe came back to his senses and chose to speak according to the other's line of thought...

"Indeed, Father, Qing He was unaware that Xu Sheng possessed the strength of a Title Douluo, otherwise, I would surely have reported to you at the earliest opportunity!"

Xue Ye took a deep breath, "To reach the level of a Title Douluo at such a young age, such talent surely wouldn't expose his abilities recklessly,"

"Even I found out about it not long ago!"

Xue Qinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "So you're saying, when you had Xu Sheng accompany Qing He to the Court Etiquette Academy last time, it was because you wanted ..."

Xue Ye looked him directly in the eyes, his words deliberate, "Exactly, I saw that you had a close relationship with that Xu Sheng, and wanted to take the opportunity to win him over!"

To reach the Title Douluo before the age of ten, one couldn't imagine how formidable he would be in the future!

After a pause, he added, "Unfortunately, it seems that he has no intention of pledging loyalty to our Tiandou Empire."

Suppressing the pressure of being watched, Xue Qinghe earnestly replied, "Father, since you value Xu Sheng so highly, Qing He will do his utmost to retain him, or at least ensure that he does not become an enemy of the Tiandou Empire in the future!"

However, Xue Ye suddenly revealed a smile, "Qing He, it's good that you have this intention, but for now, you should focus on your own affairs,"

"That way, in the future, you can become a qualified emperor!"
