This suggestion immediately made Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo even more displeased…
"Kid, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that you want to protect Xue Beng's life??"
"Holy Daughter, I can't stand this guy. Since he's said that there's something wrong with Xue Beng, why should we turn a blind eye? Isn't that just asking for trouble later?"
If you're not going to act on the information, why mention it at all? It's a complete waste of time!
However, Xue Qinghe didn't pay them any attention, his gaze fixed on Xu Sheng, he said gravely, "Xu Sheng, it seems... you don't wish for him to die!"
Xu Sheng didn't refute, murmuring, "Well... because Xue Beng didn't die so early before, I would feel somewhat guilty if it were because of me."
Xue Qinghe sighed and responded, "I understand. I won't take action against Xue Beng unless he makes the first move or interferes with my plans, in which case I can't help it!"
Since the former didn't want Xue Beng to die so soon, they might as well leave it at that for now!
After all, every move of that guy was under his surveillance; he wouldn't be able to cause any trouble...
Xu Sheng extended his hand, wanting to ruffle her hair, but realizing the current situation, retracted it…
"Ren Xue, thank you, you truly are the person I love the most!"
An unexpected remark made Xue Qinghe's cheeks burn hot again, her mind in even greater turmoil, unsure of how to reply for the moment…
But Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo could see something was off with Xue Qinghe…
Interrupting abruptly, they said, "You kid, stop ingratiating yourself with the Holy Daughter; she's got nothing to do with you!"
"That's right, the Holy Daughter will one day take control of Martial Soul Hall, she's not someone you can aspire to!"
Xu Sheng shrugged his shoulders, casually saying, "I know, so that's why I'm cultivating a relationship, right?"
Xue Qinghe suddenly shivered and cautiously began, "Xu… Xu Sheng, I don't know if you will truly be my partner in the future, but... right now, we've only just met!"
"Besides, things like romance, I'm really not interested!"
Although she felt a closeness to Xu Sheng, it didn't mean she would like him!
"Dada dada!!"
Before she could finish speaking, there was another knock on the door…
Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo looked at each other and instantly faded into concealment…
While Xue Qinghe composed herself and inquired indifferently, "Who is it??"
The voice came again from outside, "Crown Prince, Princess Xue Ke has arrived to see you specially!"
Xue Qinghe frowned and pondered, "Xue Ke??"
She did know that Xue Ke was the Princess of the Tiandou Empire, her own sister!
Their relationship was very good!
But then she glanced at Xu Sheng beside her, clearly hesitant…
Compared to seeing Xue Ke, she wanted to learn more from him…
Xu Sheng saw through her thoughts as well and reminded, "Crown Prince, you should go. The matters before can be discussed upon your return, it won't be too late!"
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe made her decision, "Alright, let Her Royal Highness the Princess rest for a while, I will be there shortly!"
The person outside stood again, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!!"
Then, Xue Qinghe stood, took a deep look at Xu Sheng, and after pushing the door open, left the palace…
Almost simultaneously, Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo, who had just vanished, suddenly appeared on either side of him…
Xu Sheng didn't show any panic and asked in surprise, "What, are you planning to take action here in the Tiandou Empire Palace?"
Who knew they wouldn't lay a hand on me, but rather spoke in a tone teeming with a sense of crisis, "We mean no harm, we merely wish to remind you, do not think you can deceive Her because the Holy Daughter is young!"
"Otherwise, even at the risk of exposing ourselves, we will slaughter you!!"
Xu Sheng just smiled and said, "Is that so? Your loyalty to Ren Xue is indeed unwavering."
Even if everyone in the Martial Soul Hall betrayed Qian Renxue, he would never harm her!
...
Meanwhile, Tang San, who had collapsed on the ground with bewilderment written all over his face, couldn't help but glance at Tang Hao, who was drinking spirits next to him...
Gathering his courage, he asked, "Dad... Daddy, why did those Soul Masters from the Martial Soul Hall want to kill the villagers of Holy Soul Village? Even Grandpa Jack, he too..."
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao put down the jug in his hand and glanced at him coldly before answering, "There is no reason, that's just how the Martial Soul Hall operates!"
But Tang San didn't drop the subject and continued to inquire, "Isn't the purpose of establishing the Martial Soul Hall to cultivate outstanding Soul Masters?"
Their attitude when they took Brother Sheng away was completely different!
Tang Hao, however, laughed as if he heard a joke, a chilling killing intent flickering in his eyes, "Cultivating outstanding Soul Masters? Hah, they're nothing but a bunch of hypocrites!"
If it weren't for the Martial Soul Hall, his wife, Tang San's mother, would not have died!
Seeing this, Tang San frowned, "Dad... You seem to have intense hostility towards the Martial Soul Hall?"
"Also, aren't you a blacksmith? Why do you possess Soul Power? Could it be that you, too, are a Soul Master!"
At this moment, he had numerous doubts waiting for the answers from the former!
However, Tang Hao had no intention of answering and interrupted, "These are not things you should be worrying about!!"
With that, silence once again descended upon the space...
Noticing Tang San's downcast expression, Tang Hao spoke up with a complicated look, "Xiaosan, do you wish to become a Soul Master?"
Tang San's face lit up with joy but it quickly faded...
"Of course I do! But Grandpa Jack has already... Can I still enroll at the academy?"
He had been able to enroll based on a work-study spot!
Now that Holy Soul Village was gone, the spot was naturally revoked!
Tang Hao pursed his lips, "That's not for you to worry about, Daddy will sort it out!"
"But... you have to understand one thing, becoming a Soul Master means facing more dangers and setbacks in the future, even so, are you still willing?"
After careful thought, Tang San responded with conviction, "I am willing!!"
No matter the difficulties and setbacks, he wanted to give it a try!
Seeing this, Tang Hao seemed to understand his determination and patted him on the shoulder...
"Alright, Daddy respects your choice, go rest now. We have to leave early tomorrow and get out of here!!"
Enrolling in the academy using the slot from Holy Soul Village was definitely not realistic!
Then they'd have to find another way!!
After all, he was the renowned Hao Tian Douluo, and although he had been in seclusion for over a decade, there surely were many who would still do him the favor!
Despite his general reluctance to ask others for help!
