Chapter 2811: Resolving the Predicament_1
Having received a positive response, Xue Qinghe had no reason to stay any longer...
He stood up right away, "Then, Tang Xuanzhu, I will come to learn on time, I shall take my leave..."
Before he could finish, Tang Yuehua interrupted him, "Crown Prince, since you are here already, there is no need to hurry off, is there?"
Hearing the implication in her words, Xue Qinghe hesitated for a moment, but then sat down again...
"Tang Xuanzhu, do you perhaps have something else to discuss?"
Tang Yuehua picked up her teacup and took a sip, speaking indifferently, "Hmm, there indeed is something I wish to ask the Crown Prince!"
Xue Qinghe, keeping his composure, asked, "May I know what it is?"
The former did not put on airs, "It's like this, I am somewhat interested in Xu Sheng, who accompanies the Crown Prince. I wonder if you could introduce us?"
It was just this sentence that made Xue Qinghe become cautious...
If he remembered correctly, Tang Yuehua had only met Xu Sheng once!
And yet, she expressed interest in him, which was truly puzzling!!
With this in mind, he answered diplomatically, "Tang Xuanzhu, Xu Sheng is just my servant. I wonder what about him has caught your attention?"
Tang Yuehua let out a light laugh, "Crown Prince, how should I answer this question...That Xu Sheng, in every aspect, is exceptionally outstanding. Therefore, I want to find out who has nurtured such a talent!"
This was not entirely true; she just wanted to see, after hearing what Tang San had said, whether Xu Sheng's Tool Soul was indeed stronger than the Hao Tian Clan!
Xue Qinghe sighed and shook his head, "I see, that's how it is. However, it's unfortunate that Xu Sheng has already left the Tiandou Empire Palace and lost contact!"
"Even I don't know his whereabouts!"
"So, Tang Xuanzhu, I'm afraid I'm unable to help you!"
Tang Yuehua did not show dissatisfaction, only regret, "That's a shame. I had thought that the Crown Prince and Xu Sheng had a close relationship!"
The Crown Prince is still too young!
Even if he managed to hide his emotions, his actions and behavior were very much at odds!
Their relationship is clearly more than that of master and servant!
But if he doesn't want to say, she can't force him!
Xue Qinghe continued, "Tang Xuanzhu, do you have any other questions?"
Tang Yuehua denied, "No more, if the Crown Prince has urgent matters and needs to return to the palace, please feel free."
Xue Qinghe also followed along with what the former said, "Then Qing He will not impose any longer, farewell!"
Once he had spoken, he turned and left...
It was then that Tang Yuehua said, "Xiaosan, the Crown Prince has left, you can come out now."
Tang San, who had been hiding in the shadows, stepped out upon hearing this...
He sighed, "Indeed, even if it's you, Aunt, the result is the same."
Maybe the Crown Prince truly does not know Brother Sheng's whereabouts?
Tang Yuehua, however, held a different opinion, "Although the Crown Prince did not disclose Xu Sheng's whereabouts, there is no doubt that their relationship is not simple, at least, it cannot just be a simple master-servant relationship!"
"I think the Crown Prince must know Xu Sheng's whereabouts, but he doesn't wish to tell us."
Tang San was startled for a moment, frowning, "But Aunt, I can't understand why the Crown Prince would do that?"
He should know the close relationship between Brother Sheng and me!
Tang Yuehua's words were loaded with meaning, "Xiaosan, I have something unpleasant to say, that Xu Sheng, he might have reached some kind of cooperation with the Crown Prince!"
"His joining the Tiandou Empire Palace might also be one of the objectives!"
Tang San swallowed hard, "That...can't be, Brother Sheng and I have never had contact with the Crown Prince before!"
They had always lived in a small place like Holy Soul Village; how could they possibly come into contact with the royal household!
Tang Yuehua closed her eyes, "Nothing is impossible. It exactly indicates that your Brother Sheng is very scheming!"
"If such a person is not a friend but an enemy, then we must be extremely cautious!"
Tang San nodded with a thoughtful expression...
He had great trust in the former's ability to observe and understand others!
This could only mean that Brother Sheng had not told him everything!
...
Dou Ling Empire!
Xie Xie, after half a day's hard travel, finally arrived outside the imperial palace...
Taking a deep breath, he exclaimed, "Ah, that journey nearly killed me, but luckily, I've finally made it to the Dou Ling Empire!"
Of course, the main problem was loneliness, having no one to talk to!!
But there was no helping it, who made him an agile-attack class Titled Douluo?
With this in mind, he glanced at the soldiers outside the imperial palace and boldly walked towards them...
Without a doubt, he immediately encountered suspicion from these soldiers...
"Halt, the imperial palace is off-limits, no entry allowed!"
Xie Xie, however, spoke with a touch of pride, "I am an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion, representing Shrek Academy to request an audience with the Emperor of the Dou Ling Empire!"
At these words, the soldiers' expressions changed dramatically...
The leading man hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, I will go and report this!"
Having said that, he quickly ran into the imperial palace...
Still thinking to himself, "Worthy of being an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, so young, I'm glad we didn't rashly provoke him!"
Seeing this, Xie Xie crossed his arms and displayed a smug expression...
Indeed, the title of Elder of the Sea God Pavilion is useful wherever you go!
A few minutes later, the soldier who had gone to report came back out...
He bowed respectfully, "Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, His Majesty the Emperor invites you inside the palace for an audience!"
Xie Xie nodded slightly, "Hmm, lead the way!"
The former extended his hand, "Please..."
...
Inside the hall!
Xue Yuntian mused, "People from Shrek Academy have also come, could it be that they have noticed something odd about the Dou Ling Empire?"
The elder beside him responded, "It's very likely, after all, the increased training speed of the Soul Masters in the Dou Ling Empire has spread throughout the other continents!"
"It's not surprising that Shrek Academy is aware. The question is, with Shrek Academy now struggling to protect itself, why send an Elder here?"
Xue Yuntian subconsciously said, "To help our Dou Ling Empire?"
Yes, that was highly possible!
After all, according to rumors, this matter was related to the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master, and Shrek Academy had always maintained zero tolerance towards the Holy Spirit Cult!
Just then, a voice came from outside the hall...
"Your Majesty the Emperor, an Elder of the Sea God Pavilion has arrived!"
Xue Yuntian calmed his emotions and said indifferently, "Let him come in!"
The next second, Xie Xie stepped in...
After scanning the surroundings, he bowed to Xue Yuntian, who was seated on the throne, and said, "Xie Xie pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor!!"
The latter nodded in acknowledgment and asked, "Elder, may I know the purpose of your visit to the Douluo Empire?"
Hearing this, Xie Xie replied very directly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, I won't beat around the bush, I am here on behalf of Shrek Academy to address the current predicament facing the Dou Ling Empire!"
