Seeing Xue Qinghe somewhat distracted, Xue Ye abruptly interjected, "Qinghe?"
The former immediately snapped back to reality, his expression complex, "Father, my sister truly went too far, Xu Sheng is not from our Tiandou Empire, how can she just give him away!"
"Moreover, he had left the imperial palace long ago, and now his whereabouts are unknown!"
Xue Ye sighed, "Yes, that's exactly how I responded, but Ke'er seems to be enchanted by this Xu Sheng, and uninterested in anything else!"
"Qinghe, if you have time, go and talk to Ke'er. There's no possibility between her and that Xu Sheng!"
With so many outstanding young talents in the Tiandou Empire, and with her status as Her Royal Highness the Princess, whom could she not have?
Yet she chooses the most improbable one!
Xue Qinghe had this in mind and immediately agreed…
"Yes, I understand, Father. I'll go have a good talk with my sister as soon as I return!"
"After all, based on my understanding of Xu Sheng, it's impossible for him to fall in love with her!"
Upon hearing this response, Xue Ye felt much relieved...
"Good, I'll leave this matter to you!"
Hopefully, Ke'er will come to her senses; otherwise, it will give me a headache!
After pausing for a moment, his tone slightly softened, "Qinghe, tell me the truth, did Xu Sheng not leave any message for you when he left?"
"Like… where he went or something!"
Not to mention, Xu Sheng's talents are so outstanding, what if he joins another power?
Especially the Xingluo Empire!
Xue Qinghe saw the other party's intention and casually responded, "Father, when Xu Sheng left the imperial palace, he only told me one thing—that he won't be leaving the Tiandou Empire for the time being!"
"As for where he went or which power he might join, I have no idea, but I presume he will not stand against our royal household!"
Xue Ye pondered for a while and agreed, "Hmm… that makes sense. Given your relationship with that Xu Sheng, he is indeed unlikely to stand opposite the royal household!"
"Enough then, that's enough!"
At least Xu Sheng still belongs to the Tiandou Empire's side, not the Xingluo Empire!
Xue Qinghe didn't say anything but took the initiative to end the conversation...
"Father, do you have any other commands? If not, Qinghe will take his leave!"
Little did he know, this action aroused Xue Ye's curiosity, "Qinghe, you just spoke a few words with me and you're in a rush to leave? Is there something the matter?"
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe explained without a change in expression, "Father, didn't you last tell me to find an opportunity to visit the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect? My studies have reached a bottleneck lately, so I thought of asking my teacher for advice!"
If he hadn't said so, it might have caused the former's suspicion!
Xue Ye also recalled and propped his chin, saying, "So it is; then I misunderstood you!"
"Do you need me to send some Soul Master elites to protect you? After all, you are the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, and we can't have accidents like those with your brothers!"
The other princes might have died, but that would only slightly upset me!
But if something were to happen to him, it would be hard to find such an outstanding heir to the emperor again!
Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered momentarily, "Father, why don't you assign that Title Douluo who protected me last time? As for other Soul Masters, there's no need to bring them along!"
"If we make a grand entrance to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect every time, the teacher might also become displeased!"
Xue Ye didn't think too much and immediately agreed to the request, "Alright, we will do as you said, and when the time comes, greet Sect Master Ning on my behalf!"
Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, "Yes, Emperor Father, Qinghe will take his leave first!"
…
Seven Treasures Glaze Sect!
Ning Rongrong, sitting in her seat, had a somewhat uneasy expression…
Chen Xin, sitting opposite her, also clearly captured this expression and immediately inquired, "Rongrong, what's wrong? You seem to be out of spirits!"
Ning Rongrong suddenly awoke and then bit her thin lips, "Bone Grandpa, I'm a bit worried"
"Dad and Sword Grandpa have been gone for so long and still have not returned. Could something have happened to them on the way?"
Chen Xin chuckled lightly, "Rongrong, so you are worried about Feng Zhi and Old Bones. I thought it was something else!"
"Don't worry, they won't encounter any problems. The reason they haven't returned yet is probably that they are discussing how to deal with Xu Sheng!"
Ning Rongrong paused for a moment, somewhat reluctantly said, "Deal with Xu Sheng? Does that mean, not only do Hao Tian Clan and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect want to take action against Xu Sheng, but our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect also intends to do so?"
"Although Xu Sheng is the Saint Heir of Martial Soul Hall and is extremely talented, he shouldn't make the upper three families so wary, should he?!"
She always felt that doing this was somewhat disgraceful and tarnished the face of the upper three families!
Chen Xin shook his head, "I'm not too sure about that. Although the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect hasn't made a move, the other two great sects might have sent people to assassinate Xu Sheng before Feng Zhi left!"
"To put it bluntly, that Xu Sheng might have already fallen!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's face grew even more flustered, "That... that can't be true, right? As long as Xu Sheng stays inside Martial Soul City, the people from the upper three families shouldn't..."
She had quite a favorable impression of Xu Sheng and didn't wish to see him just die like that!
Chen Xin gave a bitter smile, "Rongrong, you are too naive. A talent like Xu Sheng surely has Title Douluo level powerhouses to protect him, such as Gui Mei or Yueguan!"
"And to increase the success rate of the assassination, the other two great sects would at least need to send two, or even three Hyper Douluos there. Even if they operate in Pope Hall, no one would be able to stop them!"
Ning Rongrong's expression instantly turned ashen, "Two... two to three Hyper Douluos, then Xu Sheng is certainly doomed!"
Chen Xin furrowed his brows, "Rongrong, why do I feel like you are overly concerned about this Xu Sheng?"
She seemed overly concerned about Xu Sheng!
She was just worrying about Feng Zhi and Gu Rong. As soon as mentioned this guy, her priorities shifted completely!
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's cheeks flushed and she muttered, "I... I'm not, Sword Grandpa, what are you talking about!"
"It's just that Xu Sheng helped me in Martial Soul Hall, so I... I just don't want to watch him die like this!"
Chen Xin sighed and patiently explained, "Rongrong, remember this clearly, the reason Xu Sheng helped you in Martial Soul Hall is because he recognized your identity!"
"With your identity, if something unfortunate happened to you in Martial Soul Hall, without a doubt, the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect would engage in direct combat with them!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, "No... no way, right? Because of me, we would go to war with Martial Soul Hall?"
Chen Xin looked directly at her, "This is neither an exaggeration nor without basis!"
