Chapter 2538: Bluffing_1

After taking a deep breath, Xu Sheng tried to speak, "Crown Prince, did you not say that after I spoke with His Majesty the Emperor, I would come to your palace?"

Xue Qinghe's pupils brightened, and he responded calmly, "Hmm, it seems there was such an occasion, I must have forgotten about it!"

In fact, he had no such memory, but was simply going along with what Xu Sheng said!

Having received an answer, Xu Sheng's expression became complicated...

If her previous thoughts had been speculation, now it was confirmation!

The person before her wasn't Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue; as for the previous individual, he was the real Xue Qinghe!

However, her appearance here meant that the former was most likely already dealt with!

And it was very likely the work of Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo!

Nevertheless, this could be used as an opportunity to remain in the Tiandou Empire Palace!

Xu Sheng pursed her lips and pressed, "May I know what business the Crown Prince has to discuss with me? Could it be that you have agreed to my request to stay by your side to serve you?"

Xue Qinghe's cheeks flushed with a hint of panic, "Wait... wait a moment, serve me in bed?"

Xu Sheng pressed on relentlessly, "Is there a problem, Your Highness? With your esteemed identity, naturally, you need someone to serve you!"

Having said that, she slowly walked behind her, attempting to touch her shoulder...

But Xue Qinghe reflexively swatted away her hand, realizing that her reaction had been a bit excessive, she hurriedly explained, "No...there's no need, I'm not accustomed to being served!"

"You should leave!"

Though she was playing the role of Xue Qinghe, her true identity was still Qian Renxue, a girl!

If Xu Sheng were to serve her, wouldn't that mean she'd have no privacy at all?

The thought alone was dreadful!

She was already quite dissatisfied with Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo watching her!

How could Xu Sheng possibly let go of this opportunity? She urged again, "Your Highness, I have no home to return to, please agree to my request!"

Xue Qinghe wanted to refuse decisively, but two different voices echoed in her mind...

Porcupine Douluo: "This kid looks pretty good, why not agree to it? If something goes wrong in the future, he could take the blame!"

Serpent Spear Douluo: "Mmm, Porcupine's idea isn't bad, but the decision is ultimately up to you, goddess."

Upon hearing them, Xue Qinghe also thought there was some sense in it, and she fell into contemplation...

After a while, she made her decision...

"I can agree to your request, but on one condition, without my permission, you shall not enter the palace at any time!"

Her tone was very serious!

Having achieved her objective, Xu Sheng feigned joy, "No problem, Your Highness!"

As long as she could stay in the Tiandou Empire Palace, everything else was negotiable...

As for her true identity and future information, she had no plans to tell her right now!

Xue Qinghe, realizing she still had matters to attend to, commanded, "Alright, you may leave now, I will arrange a place for you to rest later!"

Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness, I shall take my leave now!"

Only after he left did Xue Qinghe breathe a sigh of relief, her gaze shifting toward a particular spot...

"Porcupine Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo, he has left now, come out!"

Before the naked eye, from behind the palace, the two who had been concealing their forms and presence walked out...

Porcupine Douluo chuckled lightly, "Goddess, I didn't expect you would really agree to let this child serve you. Could it be because he's good-looking?"

Although she didn't want to admit it, the child's appearance and his identity were completely mismatched!

Changing into a different set of clothes, she even managed to outshine "Xue Qinghe"!

Stretching out her palm, she gently touched her forehead, and in an instant, her soul bone emitted a strong purple glow...

Her appearance and figure underwent drastic changes...

She transformed into the true goddess of the Martial Soul Hall, Qian Renxue!

After completing these tasks, she said with slight displeasure, "Porcupine Douluo, don't make such jokes!"

Taking the opportunity, Serpent Spear Douluo mocked, "Porcupine, you might as well stay quiet; you're just causing trouble!"

Porcupine ground his teeth and retorted, "What did you say, you bastard??"

After pausing to think, he added coldly, "Never mind, I can't be bothered to argue with you, let's talk about the important matters first!"

Qian Renxue looked at Porcupine Douluo with gravitas and asked, "Porcupine Douluo, you didn't kill Xue Qinghe, did you?"

Porcupine patted his chest, assuring her, "Rest assured, as per your orders, goddess, I did not kill him, but he will never be able to return to the Tiandou Empire!"

Otherwise, it could greatly affect the plan that might last for over a decade!

Qian Renxue thought to herself, "That's good!"

All she needed was Xue Qinghe's identity; she did not intend to take his life!

"Then, let's proceed according to the original plan!"

...

At this moment, standing next to Tang Wulin, Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu wore serious expressions as they inquired, "Wulin, are you ready?"

Tang Wulin nodded earnestly and replied, "Yes, Hall Masters, I'm ready!"

Before coming, he had considered all possible contingencies!

Guo Xiaoxu nodded slightly, "Then let's go in."

After speaking, the three of them entered the Spirit Pagoda...

Observing the dense crowd of Spirit Pagoda members around him, Tang Wulin couldn't help but inhale sharply, "Hiss... Just the hall of the Spirit Pagoda has so many Soul Masters!"

In the midst of his astonishment, one of the Spirit Pagoda members spotted them and immediately walked over...

He said proudly, "Are you also here to join the Spirit Pagoda? Sorry, but the Soul Masters who want to join now must be at least Soul Kings!"

The overall strength of the Spirit Pagoda now had indeed surpassed the federation!

Although he was only a lower-level member, he was basking in the reflected glory...

Unconcerned, Tang Wulin spoke up, "Please inform the Spirit Pagoda's master that Tang Wulin requests an audience!"

Hearing this, the member replied with annoyance, "Who do you think you are? You expect to see the Pagoda Master just like that?"

Tang Wulin's deep blue pupils hardened as he said coldly, "Current Sea God Pavilion Master, is this title sufficient?"

Guo Xiaoxu and Liang Xiaoyu burst out with a formidable pressure that spread rapidly around them...

The Spirit Pagoda member immediately cowered and said with a placating smile, "Please... please wait a moment, I... I'll go and inform the Pagoda Master right away!"

He then scurried off as if his life depended on it...

Guo Xiaoxu sighed and shook her head, "The Spirit Pagoda is truly disappointing nowadays; this is the consequence of indiscriminately recruiting Soul Masters without regard for quality!"

Liang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, "Mhm, I don't know what's gotten into Gu Yuena, prioritizing quantity over quality of Soul Masters; it'll only harm the Spirit Pagoda!"

In the past, ordinary Soul Masters wanting to enter the Spirit Pagoda had to go through multiple examinations; it was nothing like this!
