Chapter 2572: Spirit Skull Becomes Ineffective_1

Dai Yueyan had not expected En Ci to say such a thing, and exclaimed in surprise, "State Preceptor, you..."

The latter casually added, "Your Majesty, I have no other intentions, I just feel that doing this is very unfair to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

As the dean of the Monster Academy, and having watched Dai Yun'er grow up,

he too hoped that she could pursue her own happiness...

Dai Yueyan sighed, as if he had come to an understanding...

Suppressing the pain in his heart, he said, "State Preceptor, rest assured, I won't force Yun'er to continue staying at the imperial palace. If she truly doesn't want any connections with the Royal family of Xingluo Empire, then..."

"Then let her be free!"

He used all his strength for the last sentence!

En Ci said no more, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the great hall...

...

Meanwhile, Porcupine Douluo, having returned to Tiandou Empire Palace, immediately sought out Xue Qinghe...

With a somewhat unsightly expression, he announced, "Goddess!"

Xue Qinghe displayed a look of astonishment, "Porcupine Douluo, what has happened?"

Ordinarily, if it was not to discuss something important, Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo would never appear!

But now, there was no concern for such matters, what exactly had he discovered!

Porcupine Douluo clenched his teeth and said, "Goddess, that kid definitely has something odd about him!!"

Xue Qinghe's pupils shone, "Are you talking about... Xu Sheng??"

The former nodded affirmatively, "Exactly, before I saw him being followed by a Soul Master from Martial Soul Hall, perhaps in danger, so I followed too!"

"But unexpectedly, this kid is definitely not as harmless as he seems!"

The ambiguous words left Xue Qinghe filled with doubt, "Porcupine Douluo, please recount the details of what happened!"

Porcupine Douluo did not refuse and immediately relayed everything that had transpired...

After listening, Xue Qinghe was greatly shocked, speaking in disbelief, "How is this possible, is there really someone on the Continent with Innate Level Ninety Spirit Power?"

Even she herself only possessed innate level 20 spirit power, and this had already broken the record in the history of Soul Masters!

Innate Level Ninety Spirit Power, that just doesn't seem like something a Soul Master could achieve!

Fearing that the latter might not believe him, Porcupine Douluo continued, "Goddess, this matter is absolutely true, not only that, but he also recognized my identity at a glance, I'm afraid even yours too..."

Xue Qinghe's expression grew solemn, forcing herself to calm down, she inquired, "I've understood the general situation, what about Xu Sheng?"

If everything was as Porcupine Douluo had said, then the plan to replace Xue Qinghe was likely to end in failure!

Porcupine Douluo was taken aback, and honestly replied, "I am not clear about his current whereabouts. At the time, I wanted to kill the fellow there, but unfortunately..."

"There were civilians and soldiers of the Tiandou Empire around, and it could have caused an uproar!"

Xue Qinghe's brows knitted even tighter, "You did the right thing, yet given that Xu Sheng knows so much, he must not be allowed to live..."

Before she could finish, her words were interrupted by a voice that suddenly rang out, "Crown Prince, isn't it too early for such measures?"

The person who arrived was none other than Xu Sheng!

He had not chosen to leave but had instead taken this opportunity to come to a confrontation!

Porcupine Douluo's eyes widened, and he shouted furiously, "Xu Sheng, you actually dare to come back, I'll slaughter you!!"

Just as he was about to move, Xue Qinghe extended her hand to stop him, "Peace, be not hasty!"

Immediately after, she fixed her gaze on Xu Sheng, "Xu Sheng, do you truly know our identities and plans?"

Xu Sheng was straightforward, "Exactly!"

Xue Qinghe continued to press, "So, your approach towards me was also deliberate?"

He shook his head at this question, "No, joining the Tiandou Empire Palace was indeed a coincidence!"

Originally, he was worried about how to get into the Tiandou Empire Palace when the real Crown Prince Xue Qinghe appeared and even drove away the Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Hall, saving him from some trouble!

Xue Qinghe reflected thoughtfully, "I see!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng laughed lightly, "Now, it should be my turn to ask, right? Has the Tiandou Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe died?"

The former did not intend to conceal anything and denied, "No, he has not died. He simply will never be able to return to the Tiandou Empire, that's all!"

Xu Sheng nodded to show he understood, "Just unable to return to the Tiandou Empire then, that's fine!"

Watching the two of them exchanging questions and answers, Porcupine Douluo spoke anxiously, "Goddess, how can you tell him these things? Didn't you already know that this kid has no good intentions?"

Xu Sheng turned his gaze to him and said indifferently, "Porcupine Douluo, that's not how you should say it. After I joined the Tiandou Empire Palace, I have never done anything that affected you, have I?"

Porcupine Douluo wanted to say something but suddenly choked up...

Indeed, after Xu Sheng stayed in the palace, he had always been very well-behaved and hadn't done anything that aroused suspicion!

"What does that matter? Who knows whether you're just putting on an act deliberately!"

To his surprise, Xue Qinghe also reminded coldly, "Porcupine Douluo, why don't you leave first? I want to have a private talk with Xu Sheng!"

Porcupine Douluo rubbed his eyes, confused, "Goddess, this kid..."

Xue Qinghe emphasized again, "I don't want to repeat myself!"

Although he was reluctant, faced with the former's insistence, Porcupine Douluo still chose to leave...

Watching this scene, Xu Sheng seemed a bit surprised, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, aren't you worried that I might take this opportunity to move against you?"

Xue Qinghe looked up, staring straight at him, "You won't. I'm certain of it!"

Deep down, he had an inexplicable feeling that anyone might harm him, but the man in front of him would definitely not do so!

The sparkle in Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered, "Mhm, I indeed won't, after all, you are my future partner!"

The moment these words were spoken, the space fell into silence...

Xue Qinghe's mind also came to a standstill, "???"

Following that, his cheeks flushed with a redness visible to the naked eye...

In utter chaos, he denied, "You... What are you talking about! How... How could I possibly be your partner!"

Although his understanding of relationships between men and women was very clear, in the end, he had only known the other person for a few days!!

Xu Sheng didn't force the other to believe him but said in a very relaxed tone, teasing, "Ren Xue, it's normal for you not to accept this because after all, I come from the future!"

"Otherwise, how could I possibly know your true identity, as well as your purpose for replacing Xue Qinghe!"

Xue Qinghe clenched his fists, wanting to say something, only to discover that a purple glow had appeared on his forehead...

His Spirit Skull had ceased to work as a result of the intense emotional fluctuation!

His whole appearance underwent a massive change instantly...

From Xue Qinghe, he transformed into Qian Renxue...

Seeing this, Xu Sheng considerately closed the doors of the palace...

And then gazed at the former with a smile...
