Chapter 3408: Interrogation

Having received this answer, Xue Qinghe did not appear surprised, clearly having anticipated this point...

"Is there really no other message? However, being able to send the message back, Xu Sheng must not have encountered any danger on Sea God's Island!"

After all, he is Xu Sheng, and since he dared to go, he must have been fully prepared...

Porcupine Douluo comforted, saying, "Goddess, don't worry too much. That Xu Sheng is so cunning... clever, he probably won't run into any trouble!"

Serpent Spear Douluo then pondered, "That said, what is Xu Sheng's purpose for going to Sea God's Island? He should be aware that the people there are extremely hostile towards those from the Martial Soul Hall!"

"I remember, in that battle back then, both Sea God's Island and Martial Soul Hall suffered heavy casualties!"

As far as he was concerned, this kind of hatred would not easily be resolved!

Xue Qinghe agreed, saying, "Hmm... Xu Sheng's purpose for going to Sea God's Island is indeed difficult to guess, as there shouldn't be anything he needs there!"

After all, aside from some marine products and sea soul beasts, the other resources on Sea God's Island are very scarce compared to the outside world. There is absolutely no necessity to go there!

Porcupine Douluo's eyes narrowed, as if he had thought of something, and said with a grim expression, "Goddess, if Xu Sheng went to Sea God's Island not for resources, could it be that he has gone to ally with Sea God's Island?"

Serpent Spear Douluo gave a fair answer, "It's possible. The defense of Sea God's Island is very strict, and with the High Priest Poseissi in command, it would be as difficult as reaching the heavens to break through. If he's staying there, no one can touch him!"

However, Xue Qinghe spoke confidently, "It shouldn't be, Xu Sheng still has Gui Mei from Pope Hall with him. If he were really to join Sea God's Island, the first thing to deal with would be her!"

"Moreover, according to the intelligence gathered, Gui Mei appeared together with Xu Sheng, so this possibility is ruled out!"

Just then, Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo seemed to sense something and immediately interrupted the conversation...

"Goddess, someone is coming, it seems to be that guy. You must be careful!"

After speaking, they quickly disappeared from the spot, completely concealing their breaths...

As expected, after waiting for about ten seconds, the figure of Xue Xing appeared before him...

And behind him, stood Du Gu Bo, his personal protector!

On seeing this, Xue Qinghe slightly bowed and said, "Uncle, what brings you here?"

Why would Xue Xing and Du Gu Bo come at this time, unless something had happened?

No, that shouldn't be possible, for I had already cleaned up all traces of poisoning!

With this thought, he also became calm inside, knowing that as long as they had no evidence, he had nothing to fear!

When Xue Xing heard these words, he found them extremely grating and said sarcastically, "Heh, Crown Prince, don't call me uncle. I have only one nephew, and that is Xue Beng!"

How could he possibly recognize the impostor's status!

Du Gu Bo did not speak, but it was obvious that his gaze towards Xue Qinghe was filled with hostility...

Xue Qinghe's mood did not change at all, casually inquiring, "Oh, then I wonder what brings Prince Xue Xing and Senior Douluo of Poison here?"

If he were to get angry over this, he would have been dead a long time ago!

Xue Xing squinted his eyes and asked bluntly, "Xue Qinghe, are you aware of the incident at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Xue Qinghe answered without hesitation, "I'm sorry, Prince Xue Xing. I don't quite understand what you're talking about. The emperor and I have just returned from Martial Soul City, this fact, Senior Douluo of Poison must know, right?"

Yet Xue Xing shouted angrily, "Stop pretending, this matter definitely involves you!"

This calm demeanor of his clearly indicated that he knew everything!

This could not help but make him feel extremely angry!

However, Xue Qinghe sighed with a sense of grievance, "Prince Xue Xing, although you are my uncle by seniority, is it right for you to slander me like this?"

"I don't even know what happened at the Sky Dou Imperial Royal Academy!"

As long as he did not admit it, the other party had no way to prove it!

Unable to restrain himself any longer, Xue Xing immediately stepped forward, reached out, and grabbed the former's collar...

He scolded, "Xue Qinghe, although I don't know who you really are, if you still won't admit it, don't blame me for not being polite!"

However, this threat was just routine for Xue Qinghe, who calmly responded, "Prince Xue Xing, are you threatening me, the Crown Prince?"

"Or should I say, what do you think will happen if I tell my father, the emperor, about this?"

Xue Xing's eyes filled with murderous intent, "You're seeking death!"

After saying this, he was about to act...

However, Du Gu Bo suddenly intervened, grabbing his arm...

Annoyed by the interference, Xue Xing rebuked, "Poison Douluo, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

Du Gu Bo frowned and reminded, "Prince Xue Xing, calm down. Attacking the Crown Prince here might provoke His Majesty the Emperor's wrath!"

Of course, the most important thing was that there was no evidence proving Xue Qinghe was an imposter!

At these words, Xue Xing gradually calmed down and suddenly released Xue Qinghe...

The latter staggered backward a few steps...

Gu Yue's expression eased somewhat, and then he immediately inquired, "Didn't the elders from Shrek Academy say anything?"

If she really had to choose between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda, she would undoubtedly choose the Spirit Pagoda without hesitation!

Because here, she could get what she wanted!

Leng Yaozhu naturally saw through her thoughts at a glance, "They naturally wouldn't mind, as after all, graduates from Shrek Academy tend to join top forces like the Spirit Pagoda or War God Hall, so if you can inherit the position of Pagoda Master, it wouldn't harm Shrek Academy at all!"

"Not only that, they would also keep it a secret!"

"I understand. If there's nothing else, you can go back first, Pagoda Master."

"So quick to send me away? And here I thought I had made a great effort!"

Gu Yue glanced at her and said indifferently, "Thank you."

Leng Yaozhu blinked her beautiful eyes, "Oh, and before I leave, let me remind you to give those Council Members some face, otherwise, they might just band together against you. But of course, you may also choose to ignore my advice!"

As long as Gu Yue was strong enough, even if she fired all the Council Members of the Spirit Pagoda, it would be worth it!

After all, they were nothing but a bunch of opportunists. However, being new to the position of Pagoda Master, she currently did not have the power to do so!

In response, Gu Yue showed no sign of fear and coldly said, "If the Spirit Pagoda wants to reach the peak, it must clean out the rot. Otherwise, it will eventually be eliminated!"
