Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 50 Xue Qinghe

"Oh? So His Highness Qinghe is pursuing Sister Lingling?" Qian Renxue said with a smile.

"But for emotional matters, you have to rely on your own sincerity. What I can do to help you will definitely be minimal. Your Highness Qinghe still has to rely on yourself."

"That's natural, but as you can see, Lingling doesn't talk to me very much except you and Dugu Yan." Xue Qinghe helplessly held his forehead.

"Then why doesn't His Highness Qinghe go find Dugu Yan?" Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with light, "Xue Qinghe, what kind of person are you?"
  "..." Xue Qinghe shook his head and remained silent.

"Your Highness Qinghe, I have only known Lingling for a few days and I am definitely not as long as Duguyan. It is definitely better for you to find her than me. Or do you have any concerns?" Qian Renxue said as she spoke.

At this time, Xue Qinghe's eyes flashed and he looked at Qian Renxue: "Miss Bai, why not do this? I will hold a banquet at Tiandou Hotel tonight and we can chat while eating."

"Since His Highness Qinghe has an appointment, I would rather obey him respectfully."

After the two made an appointment, Xue Qinghe returned to his mansion, when two men in black appeared behind him.

"Go and check this Bai Ningyu's information. The more detailed the better." The man in black obeyed the order and disappeared.

Qian Renxue also came to Wuhun Hall during her afternoon stroll, certified the lower soul master level, and received ten gold coins. Now she really has no money. There was basically no place to spend money in Wuhun Palace, so you could get whatever you wanted. Alas, only now did she realize the importance of money.

After coming out, she was bored and wandered around the commercial street. She found a small restaurant with cheap food and started to inquire about the news.

"Hey, I don't know what happened to the Wuhun Palace. Many bishops were publicly beheaded, you know." The merchants from all over the world talked about what they had seen along the way.

Qian Renxue listened with keen ears.

"real or fake."

"I can still lie to you. I'm in the metal business. In Gengxin City, Wuhun Temple's Bishop Miles, who was such a powerful soul master, was beheaded by Wuhun Temple and hung on the city wall in public. There were also others who were beheaded. More than a dozen!" Merchant A talked eloquently.

"Why do you think Wuhun Palace is doing this? Is it because the current Pope's surname is not Qian to exclude dissidents?" Merchant B asked.

"What? In addition to Gengxin City, there are many bishops who have been beheaded. And it's not like purging dissidents. Those bishops have taken advantage of others and oppressed the people in the local area. Wuhun Palace announced their crimes and then appeased them. The oppressed common people, when those big shots were killed, the common people cried with joy and cheered loudly, long live Wuhun Palace!"

Qian Renxue smiled after hearing this. Sure enough, her mother had already started to sort out the internal affairs of Wuhun Hall. So, I don't know how the external affairs were going.

"Moreover, Wuhun Palace has also established a new department called a supervisory agency. Every Wuhun Palace above Wuhun Child Palace has such an agency. This agency is mainly responsible for receiving reports from civilians and combating corruption within them." Merchant A took a sip of wine and said.

"If that's the case, what does Wuhundian want to do? Could it be that he wants to???"

"Hey, stop talking, drink and drink." Everyone raised their glasses and drank heavily.

"Brother, if Wuhun Palace really does this, what will we do? Which side are we supporting?"

"Hmph, I would rather support Wuhun Palace than support the empire. I only make a few bucks for transporting goods, and most of them are taxed. These nobles eat and drink from us, but they still look down on us."

"Yes, when doing business in Wuhun City, you only need to pay enough taxes. In Tiandou and Xingluo, in addition to paying taxes, you also have to endure the demands of officials at all levels. Alas~" Qian Renxue was also listening. Thinking about how to place the merchants in the Wuhun Palace. Although the merchants have no fighting ability, they have a keen sense of business. The key is that they have deals with officials from Tiandou and Xingluo. If you can grasp them, you can grasp them. Officials who live in some courts. Qian Renxue was thinking about how to make businessmen willingly serve Wuhun Palace.

..............................

It was already evening and Qian Renxue arrived as promised. Xue Qinghe was looking at Qian Renxue coming in with a smile.

"Please take a seat." Xue Qinghe made an inviting gesture.

"Thank you, Second Prince." After Qian Renxue took her seat, the food was quickly served.

Qian Renxue remained silent, waiting for Xue Qinghe's next words.

"I wonder where Miss Bai is from?" Xue Qinghe asked. Under Xue Qinghe's investigation, Bai Ningyu seemed to appear suddenly. Except for the information registered in Tiandou, nothing could be found. Coming out made him feel a little uneasy.

"Me? I was born into a hidden family, and I am the only one left in my family." Qian Renxue said calmly.

"I see, forgive me for being presumptuous."

"Then where was your family before and how did they get here?" Xue Qinghe asked.

"I come from the Star Luo Empire. I offended the Star Luo royal family and was exterminated. I came to Tiandou to develop my strength and go back to take revenge." Qian Renxue's lies are no different from telling the truth now.

Xue Qinghe thought about it and realized that he was right. If he deliberately approached the Tiandou royal family, he would definitely make a perfect fake identity and not create an identity that was full of doubts. This was not in line with common sense. Xue Qinghe felt a little more trustful.

"Oh, Miss Xiangbibai has already figured out that Duguyan is being pursued by my eldest brother, third brother and the disciples of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect." Xue Qinghe said.

Qian Renxue made no statement.

Xue Qinghe continued: "Dugu Yan herself is nothing attractive, but behind her is a titled Douluo. The eldest brother and the third brother pursued Dugu Yan because of this."

"Then Your Highness Qinghe, why don't you go and try it? Why are you pursuing Ye Lingling?"

"If I pursue Dugu Yan, I will be jealous of my eldest brother and third brother, which will be very detrimental to me."

"You are the prince, can they still attack you?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Miss Bai is from Star Luo, she must know about the Star Luo royal family!"

Qian Renxue nodded. She had indeed heard a little bit about the terrifying struggle for the throne in the Star Luo Empire.

"The Star Luo Empire chooses heirs to compete with each other. If you win the prince and become the king, the loser will die. However, although the Tiandou royal family is not so bloody, it is not that simple. My father, Emperor Xue Ye, has five brothers, and now , just him and my imperial uncle." Xue Qinghe turned the teacup, unable to see his emotions.

"In today's situation, the eldest brother Xue Luochuan is very smart, deeply loved by his father, and has the support of a large number of officials in the court. The third brother Xue Haizang is extremely talented. He worships the general Ge Long as his disciple and has the support of the military. The fourth brother is young, but his mother and my uncle Wang’s wife grew up together. Although my uncle Wang did not publicly express his position, he has secretly cultivated Xue Beng. As for me, my mother’s family is weak and my father does not take it seriously. I only have the reputation of being a prince."
