Seeing how indifferent Qin Xiao was, Xue Qinghe immediately panicked.
"Wait a minute!"
"Qinghe did not mean to offend Your Highness."
He quickly clarified his stance.
Qin Xiao nodded, "Oh."
In reality, he hadn't taken Xue Qinghe's words to heart.
After all, for a woman in disguise as a man, it was normal to be afraid of her secret being discovered.
What's more, wasn't Qin Xiao's intervention meant to help Xue Qinghe keep the secret?
Xue Qinghe: '???'
What does "oh" mean?
He looked puzzled.
However, before he could say anything more, he noticed Qin Xiao shifting his gaze to something behind him.
Instinctively, he also turned to look and was immediately shocked.
Before their eyes, Bai Baoshan's corpulent figure burst into a speed far beyond what his size suggested, like a gust of wind, and he arrived at the scene.
"Your Highness, something's wrong."
Bai Baoshan was wiping sweat from his forehead while speaking anxiously.
"Take it easy, Mr. Bai."
Xue Qinghe said with a frown.
"Come on, there's not enough time. You'd better come with me."
As he spoke, Bai Baoshan pulled Xue Qinghe and dashed off without further ado.
"Not good, something has happened to Your Majesty!"
The pupils of Dream Divine Machine suddenly contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Lingling, come with me."
After he finished speaking, he grabbed Ye Lingling without another word and chased after Bai Baoshan's direction.
Suddenly, Qin Xiao was left alone in the plaza.
"Emperor Xue Ye probably won't make it through."
Qin Xiao muttered to himself.
Without much thought, he guessed what had happened.
The Emperor, who was already sickly, was living on borrowed time. How could he survive such a significant event as being coerced by his brother and son?
Even a normal person might not be able to withstand such a shock.
"Let them be."
Qin Xiao felt relieved. After all, seeing Xue Qinghe take control of the Tiandou Empire was what he wanted to see.
As for what the Tiandou Empire would become later on,
He didn't care.
"I should leave here first, to see how the Bluesilver Emperor has evolved."
"I wonder what kind of expression Du Gu Bo will have when he sees the Blue Silver Grass transformed into a beautiful girl."
Thinking this, Qin Xiao walked toward the outside of the Sky Dou Royal Academy.
He was in no hurry, like he was taking a leisurely stroll.
It had to be said, the Sky Dou Royal Academy really was lavish; it took Qin Xiao quite a while to walk to the edge of the campus.
But then, he stopped.
Not far away, someone was blocking his path.
It was a blue-clothed youth.
He looked at Qin Xiao with a gloomy expression, "Kid, I've finally caught up with you."
"Catching up with me?"
Qin Xiao found it somewhat amusing.
From his attire and appearance, he recognized the youth as Yu Tianheng.
But they had no connection, did they?
"Yes, waiting for you."
"Do we know each other?"
"No," Yu Tianheng shook his head, "we don't need to know each other. Just remember what I'm about to say."
"From now on, stay away from Dugu Yan."
What's this about?
Qin Xiao was completely bewildered, "I'm already not close to Dugu Yan, am I?
"I don't care, all I know is that Dugu Yan looks at you with a certain light in her eyes. She has special feelings for you," said Yu Tianheng with a serious tone.
In reality, as he said this, he felt a bitter taste in his heart.
Frankly speaking, wasn't Dugu Yan's attitude toward this kid precisely what he longed for?
He was pretty sure that if this kid was willing, with just a beckoning of his finger, Dugu Yan would throw herself into his arms.
No, he couldn't keep thinking about it.
The more he thought, the angrier he got.
So he sees me as a love rival... Qin Xiao suddenly realized.
"That's where you're wrong. You shouldn't be coming to me about this matter. You should talk to Dugu Yan directly,"
Qin Xiao decided to tease Yu Tianheng.
He spread his hands in an innocent gesture, "Eyes are on her face; how she looks at people, I really can't control, can I?"
Caught off guard...
Yu Tianheng was momentarily at a loss for words.
But inside he was cursing; if Dugu Yan ever took any notice of what he said, would he have to come to you?
"I don't care, it starts with you rejecting Dugu Yan."
"If you stay away from Yanzi, I believe she will come to see my worth and return to me," Yu Tianheng said firmly, "Kid, just do what I tell you, without too many of your own thoughts."
"What if I say no?" Qin Xiao's smile faded from his face.
"No?"
Yu Tianheng was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Kid, you should find out who I, Yu Tianheng, am. A Battle Spirit Honor of thirty-nine rings, a direct descendant of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, captain of the Star Luo Royal Team. Do you really think you have the power to refuse me?"
As his voice fell, behind him the phantom of a Blue Electric Overlord Dragon appeared, and three soul rings, yellow and purple, emerged.
