Chapter 2965: Trap_1

The Porcupine Douluo, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "That, Holy Daughter, you wouldn't be considering whether to tell Xu Sheng about this message, would you?"

It wasn't that I was too good at understanding people's hearts, it was that Qian Renxue's expression was too obvious!

Qian Renxue, whose thoughts were exposed, visibly changed her expression, "How... how could that be? I'm just worried about whether the plan can proceed as expected. If Tang San were to betray the Martial Soul Hall in the future, that would be a big problem!"

How did the Porcupine Douluo know what I was thinking??

Could it be that he, like Tang Xuanzhu, was adept at deciphering people's thoughts? I had never noticed this before!

The Porcupine Douluo remained doubtful, "Is that so??"

I always felt that the Holy Daughter was unusually guilty…

But Qian Renxue insisted, "Of course it is!"

The Porcupine Douluo did not speak further, "I see, perhaps I was mistaken!"

Following that, the Serpent Spear Douluo said, "What the Holy Daughter said is not without reason, but I believe the Grand Elder must be closely monitoring Tang San's situation. The moment he harbors any other thoughts, he will take action personally to eliminate him!"

"He would never allow him to become an emperor of the Martial Soul Hall!"

Qian Renxue came back to her senses and nodded, "Yes, I also believe that grandfather has made thorough preparations!"

"So, let's put aside the matter of Tang San for now!"

As Bi Bidong's disciple, Xu Sheng should hear about Tang San joining the Martial Soul Hall before long!

I won't bother sending someone to inform him then!

But the very next second, the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo exchanged a glance, then immediately concealed their presence and vanished from the spot...

Qian Renxue, who was slow on the uptake, also understood their intent and immediately released the soul skill accompanied by her Spirit Skull...

As a purple light flickered, her appearance once again transformed into Xue Qinghe...

Then, unexpectedly...

The great doors of the palace were suddenly pushed open, and in rushed a soldier of the Tiandou Empire...

Bowing deeply, he said, "Crown Prince, I am here on Prince Xue Xing's orders, inviting you to meet outside the imperial palace!"

Xue Qinghe's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, but in order not to reveal anything, still scolded, "Since it's on Prince Xue Xing's orders, don't you know the rules? Entering without my permission is presumptuous!"

The soldier replied impassively, "I apologize, Crown Prince, please forgive my impertinence!"

Although apologizing, his eyes continuously roamed the interior of the palace, as if scrutinizing something...

Noticing this, Xue Qinghe said quietly, "Let this be the only time. If this happens again, you should know the consequences!"

The soldier of the Tiandou Empire nodded slightly, "Yes, Crown Prince."

Xue Qinghe then continued, "So, what important matter does Prince Xue Xing have with me?"

What on earth is Xue Xing planning?

He's actually taken the initiative to invite me to discuss matters outside the imperial palace!

I have a feeling it might be a trap!

The soldier shook his head to indicate he didn't know...

"I apologize, Crown Prince, I am not aware of what matter Prince Xue Xing has with you, but you will probably understand once you go there!"

Xue Qinghe pursed his lips, "Fine, I understand, but I'm afraid Prince Xue Xing might have to wait for a moment!"

The soldier of the Tiandou Empire didn't waste words, "Yes, Crown Prince, I will convey your message to Prince Xue Xing."

"Then I won't disturb you any longer, I take my leave!"

Having said that, he turned and left, not forgetting to close the grand doors of the palace...

As his presence gradually receded, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo also appeared one after the other...

The former spoke first, "Something is off about that soldier, he pushed open the doors of the palace without any warning, and, if I'm not mistaken, his gaze was constantly shifting!"

The latter nodded in agreement, "Hmm, he must have been sent by Xue Xing to probe, but I didn't expect it to be so obvious. Could he be signaling to us that he has detected something amiss?"

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe said in a grave tone, "Hmm, it's very likely that he was intentionally trying to probe me!"

"Serpent Spear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, I will be seeing Xue Xing alone next, do not follow me!"

Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo immediately objected, "How can this be, Holy Daughter? If you go alone and Xue Xing harbors ill intentions, wouldn't that be the end of it!"

Porcupine Douluo also nodded, "Hmm, it's too dangerous, we absolutely do not agree!!"

However, Xue Qinghe left no room for their refusal...

"Serpent Spear Douluo, Porcupine Douluo, I am not discussing with you, I am commanding!"

...

Outside the imperial palace!

Xue Xing looked at the Du Gu Bo beside him, saying with a calm expression, "Poison Douluo, I apologize. You've just come back and haven't even had the chance to rest, yet you must wait here with me"

The latter clearly didn't mind and casually replied, "No matter, but Prince Xue Xing, who are you waiting for??"

Xue Xing did not hide anything, plainly answering, "Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!"

Upon hearing this, Du Gu Bo narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that you still suspect his identity??"

Xue Xing solemnly affirmed with a "Hmm!"...

He then continued, "Although I have no evidence, I can be sure that this Xue Qinghe is clearly different from the Xue Qinghe of the past!"

Du Gu Bo sighed, "Prince Xue Xing, to act solely on intuition may provoke Emperor Xue Ye's displeasure, no?"

Xue Xing was disdainful of this concern, "So what? I am also considering the future of the Tiandou Empire!"

At most, Emperor Xue Ye would scold him and not dare do much more!

Du Gu Bo stopped dwelling on it, asking, "What do I need to do?"

The former must have summoned him here for a reason!

Xue Xing glanced at him, saying word by word, "Poison Douluo, I need you to hide in the shadows and constantly scan the surroundings with your spiritual power!!"

"If you sense any unfamiliar soul power fluctuation during my conversation with Xue Qinghe, immediately act to capture it!"

That soldier with glaring flaws was merely a ploy to lure Xue Qinghe into a trap!!

With a sharp narrowing of his dark green pupils, Du Gu Bo immediately grasped the meaning of those words...

However, he did not refuse.

"I understand, but Prince Xue Xing, you must be careful. If that Xue Qinghe really is different, he will surely strike at you!!"

Having said that, he vanished from sight in a flash...

Of course, although his body was no longer there, his spiritual power had already enveloped the entire area, every movement of everyone was under his control!!

Only when the place was void of any other people did Xue Xing turn his gaze forward once again, thinking to himself, "Alright, now let me see, who are you really, the fake Xue Qinghe!!"

He had to unveil the true face behind the mask!!!
