Chapter 3331
Xue Qinghe, no, it should be said Qian Renxue, suddenly approached the Porcupine Douluo, somewhat excitedly said, "Really? Porcupine Douluo, is Xu Sheng preparing to meet me?"
The Porcupine Douluo was stunned, muttering, "Yes, he did say that!"
It always felt like something was off with the Holy Daughter nowadays!
Was she usually like this?
Probably not, right?
After all, at the Worship Hall, aside from the guest elders, she completely ignored everyone else!
Qian Renxue's emotions grew increasingly excited, "That's wonderful, how long until Xu Sheng is prepared to come?"
The Porcupine Douluo swallowed hard, "Xu Sheng said he's being watched by Gui Mei, he'll come over as soon as he finds a suitable opportunity!"
This isn't right, not right at all!
The Holy Daughter must be in love with that guy now!
But, he's not even ten years old yet? He doesn't even have the charm that belongs solely to a man, so why would he attract the Holy Daughter?
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately covered her blushing face...
At this moment, the usually silent Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but speak out, "Holy Daughter, you should have had enough by now?"
"If such a situation arises during a mission, your circumstances could become dangerous!"
This Xu Sheng, he's indeed a calamity!
He even made the Holy Daughter reveal such an expression!
It's also unknown why the Grand Elder wants to win this guy over!
Is it just because he's somewhat more attractive and talented?
Upon hearing this, the expression on Qian Renxue's face instantly became stiff, then she silently bowed her head...
The Porcupine Douluo widened his eyes, leaned close to the Serpent Spear Douluo, and whispered in his ear, "Serpent Spear, how can you talk to the Holy Daughter like that, are you tired of living?"
The latter also realized, hastily explaining, "Holy Daughter, I didn't mean to scold you, but your soul bone is very special, it can't withstand severe emotional fluctuations, so I just..."
Qian Renxue slowly raised her head, her expression turning cold...
"It's not your fault, I was somewhat out of line!"
The Serpent Spear Douluo was right, if such a situation were to occur during a mission, she would indeed be in mortal danger!
He was only worrying out of concern when he spoke those words!
The Serpent Spear Douluo rubbed his eyes, somewhat awkwardly said, "Ah... it's good that the Holy Daughter can understand my meaning!"
He had thought she would be angry, but unexpectedly, she apologized first!
However, this was how the Holy Daughter usually was, calm in all situations!
It must have been my illusion earlier, yes, that's it!
The Porcupine Douluo patted his chest, muttered to himself, "Luckily the Holy Daughter didn't take it to heart, otherwise after returning, I might not die but I'd definitely lose a layer of skin!"
After all, although both of us have reached Hyper Douluo, compared to the other guest elders, we are still too weak!
If it weren't for the Holy Daughter specifying, it wouldn't be our turn to protect her so closely!
Qian Renxue no longer paid them any heed, issued the command, "Alright, if you have nothing else, then all of you may leave!"
"Also, help me keep an eye on Xue Beng, if anything unusual happens, tell me immediately!"
After Xue Xing left, he surely wouldn't rest, he'd likely tell Xue Beng something...
After all... no one is sure if he is truly just a profligate son!
If all this is intentionally staged by him, then I must risk revealing my identity to eliminate him!
"Yes, Holy Daughter!"
...
Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Returning to the resting room, Prince Xue Xing grabbed the teacup from the table and hurled it violently...
"Smash"
The teacup instantly shattered into pieces, scattering across the floor...
"I'm so furious, really furious. That Xue Ye is truly foolish; I clearly told him so explicitly that Xue Qinghe is an impostor!"
"Why, why does he still protect that guy at every turn? Does he not have even a bit of basic trust in me?"
Seeing this, Du Gu Bo felt somewhat helpless yet unsure how to offer any comfort...
Usually, Prince Xue Xing would address His Majesty Xue Ye as brother, but this time he called him by his name directly, evidently quite angry!
However, continuing like this was not a solution, it was better to let him calm down first!
Thinking this, he spoke up, "Prince Xue Xing, perhaps it's because your last plan irritated His Majesty Xue Ye, losing his trust!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing immediately rebuked, "Of course I know that, but the problem is that Xue Ye never gives me any chance to explain!"
Seeing this, Du Gu Bo furrowed his brow slightly, clearly displeased...
The former felt a chill down his spine and calmed down...
"Poison Douluo, I apologize, anger clouded my judgment!"
There was no change in Du Gu Bo, who then said again, "No worries, Prince Xue Xing, I understand that you are worried about the future of the Tiandou Empire!"
Prince Xue Xing slumped back into the seat, sighing, "Ah... Right now, in the entire royal household, the only ones I can trust are you, Poison Douluo, and Xue Beng!"
Patting his chest earnestly, Du Gu Bo said, "Rest assured, Prince Xue Xing, as long as I'm alive, you will face no danger!"
Prince Xue Xing managed a bitter smile, "Poison Douluo, I trust you of course, but if that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe inherits the throne, I fear a disaster will befall the entire Tiandou Empire!"
"If his real identity is a member of Martial Soul Hall, that's even more chilling!"
Pausing for a moment, he clenched his fist and said, "What do you say, should we secretly get rid of Xue Qinghe?"
"Even if the blame from my brother comes down, at most I'll be stripped of my royal status!"
A dead prince, and his own brother, surely His Majesty Xue Ye wouldn't go so far as to annihilate me completely!
Without any hesitation, Du Gu Bo rejected the suggestion, "Prince Xue Xing, I think you should dismiss this idea, if anything happens to Xue Qinghe, even if it's not your doing, His Majesty Xue Ye will suspect you first!"
"When that time comes, if powerful protectors around him take action, I might not be able to keep you safe!"
Though I'm a Titled Douluo, I've never reached that Domain!
Fighting with other Hyper Douluos, I have almost no chance of winning!
This was evident from my fight with Yueguan!
Prince Xue Xing rubbed his head, "Ah, I was just venting, how could I actually do that!"
"After all, doing so would also cause Xue Beng, that child, to become despised by my brother, completely losing any chance to inherit the throne!"
To me, Xue Beng is like my own son!
Only he can lead the Tiandou Empire to a greater future!
Thus, I absolutely cannot do that!
Seeing this, Du Gu Bo continued to advise, "Then, Prince Xue Xing, let's still lay low for now, and avoid doing anything to Xue Qinghe!"
"No matter how cautious he is, he is still just a child, perhaps in the future he might leave behind a fatal loophole!"
Though Prince Xue Xing was very reluctant, he couldn't change anything...
"It really can't be helped then, Poison Douluo, please fetch Xue Beng for me, I have a few words to give him!"
