Chapter 141 Xue Qinghe's Request
Xiao Yan pushed open the door and slowly walked in. Xue Qinghe was sitting quietly on the chair he had placed in the dormitory, obviously having been waiting there for a long time.
"Your Highness is indeed well-informed. I just arrived in Tiandou City during the day, and you were already waiting for me at my dormitory." Xiao Yan bowed and was about to give a proper bow when the other party reached out to help him up.
"No need for such formalities. Has Dai Mubai's matter been resolved?"
As expected, nothing could be hidden from the Crown Prince of Tiandou.
"I guess so, but not entirely."
"Oh? What happened?"
It seems that Xue Qinghe was unaware that the Spirit Hall had abducted Dai Mubai.
"It was Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall who suddenly appeared and rescued him." So Xiao Yan told Xue Qinghe everything about the strange things that happened to Dai Mubai and the sudden appearance of Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Besides concealing the fact that his martial soul had evolved into a Tyrannosaurus Beast, Dugu Bo also revealed the methods he used to injure Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Of course, Xiao Yan only revealed this information so completely after knowing that the other party was Qian Renxue.
He wanted to know whether Qian Renxue, given her status and position in the Spirit Hall, was aware of this matter.
"Is this the root of evil spirits? —" Xue Qinghe murmured to himself.
However, it seems that Xue Qinghe is unaware of why Bibi Dong allowed Chrysanthemum Douluo to abduct the person.
Instead, he was very concerned about the changes in Dai Mubai.
"Could you tell me in more detail? Was Dai Mubai talking to someone remotely back then, and then he really broke through to the Soul King level?"
Xiao Yan nodded: "At least from my perspective, the source of the power he obtained is unseen. Moreover, given his extravagant lifestyle of drinking and feasting, his body would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure of a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Therefore, he must have relied on external forces, perhaps the inheritance of some evil god."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan mention evil gods, Xue Qinghe's gaze sharpened, and he began to ponder the matter with great seriousness.
It seems that what my grandfather said was true.
A few weeks ago, Qian Daoliu appeared alone in Xue Qinghe's palace without being discovered by anyone. Upon seeing his long-lost relative, even though Xue Qinghe had cultivated a calm and composed nature, he was still very excited as he looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man's first words were to ask her why Emperor Xueye's health had improved so much, and whether she was no longer planning to proceed. If so, he suggested that she return to the Spirit Hall with him.
When Qian Daoliu proposed this plan and had Qian Rengxue carry it out, his real purpose was to enable her to achieve a great feat in the Spirit Hall, so as to counter Bibi Dong, who occupied the position of Pope.
Qian Renxue, this granddaughter, is quite sensible. Under her own arrangement, she infiltrated the Heaven Dou royal family.
However, in Qian Daoliu's view, it seems that Emperor Xueye's health is not as critical as he originally expected; on the contrary, he is quite vigorous.
Qian Renxue immediately explained that she had her own plans. Fortunately, Qian Daoliu was not there to question her about the progress of her visit to her granddaughter.
Instead, he told her that the Angel God had given instructions and sensed an extremely evil power within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, pure and powerful.
This is why Qian Daoliu, who has never left the Spirit Hall, has come to the Heaven Dou Sect.
He believed this was a good opportunity to show himself in front of the angel god. If Qian Renxue personally eliminated him, the divine test would be much easier.
Seeing her grandfather's expectant eyes, Qian Renxue had no choice but to agree. After all, eliminating evil spirits was the destiny of these angelic martial soul masters.
So she came to Xiao Yan's dormitory to discuss things with him, since she seemed to have no friends around her except for those who coveted her identity as the future emperor of Tian Dou.
Although Ning Fengzhi usually behaves extremely politely, it is a kind of politeness with a lot of cunning. Simply put, if you accept his politeness, you will definitely pay a price.
After much deliberation, he concluded that Xiao Yan was the most reliable person.
"It seems that coming to find you was indeed the right choice. You truly deserve to be called our Master Yanxiao." Xue Qinghe said, and then casually pointed out Xiao Yan's identity behind his back.
After all, since he had been exposed by her during their last meeting, Xiao Yan was too lazy to hide it anymore; he simply neither admitted nor denied it.
"What, does Your Highness seem quite interested in Dai Mubai, who resembles an evil spirit master?"
"Being interested is useless. Now that he's been rescued by Chrysanthemum Douluo, he's most likely not dead. If we try to find out his location from the Spirit Hall, we'll have to see if the current Pope will give us face. What I'm more curious about is the power behind Dai Mubai. Even if it's not some divine inheritance you mentioned, it's still some very strange and evil spirit master." Xue Qinghe naturally knew very well that Chrysanthemum Douluo, a leisurely elder of the Spirit Hall, would never take action unless it was for a good reason. So, the only one who could mobilize him was the Pope.
"It seems His Highness the Crown Prince thinks the same way. Apart from Pope Bibi Dong, I really can't think of any other reason why Chrysanthemum Douluo would risk losing an arm to save someone. As for the person behind him, he was intangible and invisible all night, and I don't know whether he is a Soul Master or not."
"However, I remember that Dugu Bo, this titled Douluo, was no match for Chrysanthemum Douluo. How come he broke off one of his arms this time? Did he break through?" Xue Qinghe couldn't afford to ignore this. He had carefully cultivated his power for so many years. Although, under Xiao Yan's guidance, he decided not to use poison and rely on his own strength to obtain the throne, he was originally the first in line to the throne. However, Dugu Bo was rescued by Prince Xue Xing a few years ago. He was said to be a guest of Tian Dou, but in reality, he only worked for Xue Xing and that ignorant Xue Beng.
If Dugu Bo truly breaks through to the next level, his succession to the throne will be somewhat threatened.
"Dugu Bo didn't make any breakthroughs, he just had some more tricks up his sleeve. And when I was with him, he said that he had already done a lot of things for Prince Xuexing, so he had repaid the favor."
"When talking to a smart person, there's no need to beat around the bush." Xue Qinghe smiled. Before she could even voice her concerns, Xiao Yan had already told her everything as a friend.
"But the clever ones don't understand why His Highness the Crown Prince is visiting today. Could it be that the auction is about to begin, and His Highness wants to use the purchasing rights I possess?"
As Xiao Yan spoke, he clutched his belt as if it were a precious treasure. Of course, he did this on purpose, since Xue Qinghe had fought for this right for him. As the Crown Prince of Tiandou, it wasn't too difficult for him to get it.
"I'm here because I have an important matter I'd like to ask you for a favor. As for the reward, feel free to name your price; as long as it's not excessive, I'll agree."
Xue Qinghe ended his pleasantries with Xiao Yan and got straight to the point, stating his needs. Although it was just a pleasantry, he had keenly sensed from the moment Xiao Yan mentioned Dai Mubai that Dai Mubai's purpose coincided with his own. If he really wanted to thoroughly investigate the evil forces of Xingluo, he might be able to start with the Xingluo royal family.
