Chapter 84: The Fall of Emperor Xue Ye, The Collapse of Xue Qinghe (6k)_1
"The heartbeat is slowing, the breath is weak; these are the symptoms of severe injuries,"
When Qin Xiao reached out to touch Xue Qinghe's wrist, he immediately detected an abnormality.
It was worse than he had imagined.
Normally, with Xue Qinghe's strength, it should not have come to this.
Unfortunately, Xue Xing, that Old Silver Coin, suddenly made a move.
Directly hitting Xue Qinghe's vital spot.
"To suffer such a grave injury and still hang on until now before collapsing; he's truly a tough man,"
Qin Xiao's estimation of Xue Qinghe couldn't help but rise a few notches.
But now was not the time for hesitation; if no treatment was administered now, it was likely he wouldn't survive.
Qin Xiao asked in a deep voice, "The Crown Prince is gravely injured; I wonder if there is a healing soul master in the imperial palace that can treat him?"
"What!"
"The Crown Prince is severely wounded?"
'...'
The crowd all showed looks of surprise and panic.
"Is there a healing soul master present?"
Emperor Xue Ye asked again in a deep voice.
It was then that everyone started to regain their senses from the shock.
However, no one spoke up.
"Your Majesty, we do have a powerful healing soul master at the Sky Dou Royal Academy, the owner of the Nine-heart Asiatic Apple, whose healing abilities are unmatched throughout the Tiandou Empire,"
Just as everyone was at a loss, President Meng suddenly spoke up.
"Nine-heart Asiatic Apple?"
Emperor Xue Ye's eyes lit up, "Quick, bring Ye Lingling here now, we must save Qinghe at all costs!"
Urgency filled his voice.
"Yes."
President Meng nodded solemnly and was about to leave.
But Qin Xiao stopped him, "There's no time, take the Crown Prince directly to the Sky Dou Royal Academy."
"Alright."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded gravely, "Then I will have to trouble Mr. Qin."
Qin Xiao nodded and looked at President Meng: "President Meng, I will wait for you at the entrance of the Sky Dou Royal Academy."
As his voice fell, Qin Xiao vanished on the spot with Xue Qinghe.
Boom, boom, boom...
It was then that a series of thunderous noises came from afar.
"Gulp."
Fleet Admiral Ge Long swallowed hard, his heart filled with astonishment.
"Is this Mr. Qin's true strength? Such speed is terrifying."
Subconsciously, he imagined what would happen if Qin Xiao attacked him.
The thought made him shudder.
He believed that it would be difficult for him to withstand even a single move from Qin Xiao.
Such a powerhouse was indeed terrifying.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
After President Meng and Qin Xiao left, Bai Baoshan's tiny eyes suddenly showed shock.
He exclaimed in surprise while rushing to Emperor Xue Ye's side to support him.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Ge Long and the others were also intensely anxious.
They saw that Emperor Xue Ye now had a pale complexion, dim eyes, and seemed to have lost all his vitality.
"Cough cough."
"Cough cough cough."
Emperor Xue Ye could not help coughing.
Everyone watched with terror in their hearts.
They feared that Emperor Xue Ye would be unable to catch his breath and die on the spot.
Sigh...
After a long while, Emperor Xue Ye finally caught his breath, "It's alright, everyone. Don't panic. As you can see, my time is almost up."
"Your Majesty, don't say such things."
"You will certainly be fine."
'...'
Hearing everyone's words, Emperor Xue Ye suddenly smiled, "No need to comfort me any longer; today is my final day."
"I have but one wish, that you all devote your hearts and strength to supporting Qinghe. He is a good child, and the future of the Tiandou Empire will surely become even more prosperous in his hands."
"Yes!"
Marshal Ge Long, Bai Baoshan, and others all had looks of deep emotion on their faces.
Some even had tears sliding down their cheeks.
"Haha, good, very good."
"I leave the future of the Tiandou Empire in your hands."
"In this life of mine, I have no regrets."
With varying volume, Emperor Xue Ye slowly closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty!"
People cried out in grief.
...
"Yanzi, you've been gone for so many days, where did you go?"
"There was no news from you; I was really worried about you."
Inside the Sky Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan stepped into a small training field.
Upon the field, several figures all looked towards her. Among them, a tall young man dressed in a blue tight-fitting outfit asked with concern on his face.
He was the captain of the Star Luo Royal Team, Yu Tianheng.
Even as he spoke, he moved to give Dugu Yan a big hug.
But she stopped him, "Yu Tianheng, we're not that close, okay? Even if you're concerned about me, please keep an appropriate distance."
(This timeline is a bit early; in my setting, Yu Tianheng was pursuing Dugu Yan at this time.)
"Eh?"
Yu Tianheng was taken aback, "Yanzi, what do you mean by this?"
In his view, Dugu Yan had a good impression of him, so why had she suddenly become so distant?
Dugu Yan shook her head, "It means nothing more than keeping the distance that classmates should."
"Classmates?"
"I consider you my future girlfriend, yet you see me as just a classmate?"
"I've been pursuing you for so long, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
Yu Tianheng's mentality collapsed in an instant.
In his mind, winning over Dugu Yan didn't seem far off, so why was there suddenly such a distance between them?
Meanwhile, Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of awkwardness.
Previously, she indeed had quite a positive view of Yu Tianheng.
But imperceptibly, she found that another figure had appeared in her heart.
That person was young and handsome, powerful, and what was more important, he had saved her and her grandfather's lives...
Simply perfect.
"To tell you the truth, there's already someone in my heart, and there's no room for you any longer."
