Chapter 3078 Xue Xing's Plan_1

Inside the imperial palace!

The Sky Dou Empire soldier responsible for delivering messages bowed deeply and reported, "Your... Your Majesty the Emperor, according to the news just received, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect will visit today!"

Hearing this, Xue Ye also stood up from the imperial throne, surprised, "What??"

Normally, except for Xue Qinghe, who would go to learn at the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, people like Ning Fengzhi would hardly take the initiative to visit the imperial palace!

The objective was to avoid gossip from other sects!

Yet today, he unexpectedly said he would come!

Fearing that he had heard about the attack on the fourth prince!

Thinking of this, he felt that this possibility was very great...

Immediately, he ordered, "Have the people below make preparations to welcome Sect Master Ning and the others. Don't let the royal household lose face!"

"Otherwise, I will not be lenient!"

The former naturally did not dare to contradict and echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor, I shall arrange that straight away!"

Yet suddenly, Xue Ye added coldly, "Wait, also inform Qing He to come over!"

This soldier did not say much, nodded in acknowledgement, then turned and left...

However, Xue Xing walked into the grand hall with unwarranted audacity...

Xue Ye slightly frowned, "Xue Xing, why have you come again? And moreover, with such disrespect!"

Xue Xing was all smiles, "Big brother, in these dire times, let us not bother with these tedious formalities!"

Xue Ye swept him with a cold glance, "Tedious formalities? Hmph! If you were not of my blood, you would have been beheaded and displayed to the public by now!"

If it weren't for the need for him to manage the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and that he was accompanied by a Titled Douluo strong enough for protection!

He would not tolerate such insolence!

Xue Xing also knew how to be tactful, clasping his fist in gratitude, "Then, thank you, big brother, for your willingness to forgive me!"

Xue Ye's tone softened slightly, "Speak, then. Why have you come this time? Could it be that there is news of the murderer who killed the fourth prince?"

Xue Xing shook his head decidedly, "There is still no trace of the murderer. I am here because there are some matters I wish to discuss with you, big brother!"

After saying this, his expression turned very serious...

Xue Ye's gaze also grew grave, "Speak your business, and don't beat around the bush!"

Xue Xing was not angered, and patiently explained, "The attack on Fourth Prince His Highness may have been premeditated. Without an intimate knowledge of the imperial palace's layout, it would be difficult to concoct such a detailed plan!"

"Which means, there could very well be spies within the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye immediately rebuked, "Xue Xing, you suspect Qing He? I have personally spoken with him and can confirm that he has nothing to do with this matter!"

The terrifying pressure caused Xue Xing's forehead to break out in a cold sweat as he quickly gestured with his hands, "Big brother, that's not what I meant. You've misunderstood."

It seemed that after the previous incident, the big brother trusted Xue Qinghe greatly. Just a slight probe from himself was enough to anger him!

This would make things difficult!

Xue Ye suppressed his emotions and said indifferently, "It's best if it's not him. I have said before, no one is allowed to lay a finger on Qing He!"

Xue Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Big brother, what I mean is, if there are spies in the palace, then it means the people behind them might also target the other princes!"

"If only a handful of Soul Masters are dispatched for protection, it might not be safe!"

Xue Ye narrowed his eyes, considering, "This... does make some sense!"

Indeed, after the incident with the fourth prince, it was hard for him to trust the Soul Masters who were sent to protect the princes!

Immediately, he turned to the former and demanded, "Then you tell me, what should we do?"

Since this guy dared to speak up, he must already have a solution!

Upon seeing this, Xue Xing couldn't help but curve the corners of his mouth upward, suggesting, "It's simple, just have all the princes stay inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

Xue Ye, sensing something amiss, questioned with suspicion, "Stay inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Xue Xing, are you so certain that the academy is safe enough, that no accidents will occur?"

Rather than giving an absolute answer, Xue Xing explained, "Elder brother, the academy can't guarantee the absolute safety of the princes!"

"But with the presence of many teachers and the addition of Poison Douluo, it is definitely much safer than any other place!!"

These words left Xue Ye somewhat shaken...

"This... Let me think it over!"

Indeed, given the current situation, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with its numerous Soul Master experts, should be the safest place!

Having the princes stay there would not only guarantee their lives but also allow their strength to improve!

It truly was a good plan with dual benefits!

But in his subconscious, he always felt that Xue Xing proposed this suggestion with an ulterior motive!

And so, several minutes passed quietly...

The impatient Xue Xing couldn't help but interrupt, "Elder brother, what have you decided?"

Xue Ye came back to reality, nodding, "Your proposal is good, I approve!"

Overall, the benefits of this proposal outweighed the drawbacks, there was no reason to disagree!

Xue Xing's face lit up with joy, and he quickly responded, "Elder brother, then I will go and inform the Crown Prince and the other princes to enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as soon as possible!"

As long as that Xue Qinghe also stays within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Even if he has any plans behind our backs, he won't be able to carry them out!!

However, before he could act, Xue Ye added, "Wait, leave Qing He out of this, sometimes he needs to go to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect for his studies, staying in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy would be too troublesome!"

In an instant, Xue Xing's expression became stiff...

The purpose of proposing this suggestion was to have Xue Qinghe enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and to monitor him at all times!

But the words of the former undeniably destroyed all that!

Noticing the change in the other's expression, Xue Ye's tone became slightly more serious...

"What's the matter, Xue Xing, are you displeased??"

Xue Xing coughed, "No... not at all, I just feel that your decision might be too risky, elder brother!"

"That child Qing He, he's always been the one you valued the most, hasn't he? If he stays outside the academy, it's very likely that accidents will occur!!"

"It would be safer for him to enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

Gazing straight into his eyes, Xue Ye enunciated every word, "Xue Xing, you keep targeting Qing He time and again, do you really think I can't see through your little tricks??"

So, this guy's true colors have finally shown...

Obviously still suspicious of Qing He, he wanted to take this opportunity to trouble him!

Xue Xing became flustered, "Elder brother, you..."

Xue Ye, however, didn't give him the chance to continue with his excuses, cutting him off, "Enough, the decision I make is final, as for Qing He, I have my own plans!!"

Seeing his plan fall apart, Xue Xing could only sigh in resignation, "Yes, elder brother, if that's what you say, then let's do it that way."

He was so close to catching that little Xue Qinghe!!
