Douluo: Tang Hao kills me, the son pays for the father's debt

Chapter 160: Competing for Recruitment
Upon hearing the news of Xue Qinghe's death, Emperor Xue Ye fainted immediately. When he woke up, it was already the next day. He looked even more haggard due to excessive grief, as if he might die at any time.

Emperor Xue Ye summoned his strength, called Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng, and ordered them to visit the prince at his residence. Then he collapsed on the bed powerlessly and fainted again.

Xue Qinghe's death was a great blessing for the two of them. Now there was no one who could compete with Xue Beng for the throne.

To be on the safe side, Prince Xuexing called Dugu Bo to join him, because Xue Qinghe's death was too strange.

At this time, white banners were hung high in the Prince's Mansion and paper money was scattered all over the floor. Prince Xuexing and his two companions walked in to the accompaniment of funeral music. The body of "Xue Qinghe" had been covered with white cloth and placed in a huge open coffin.

Mo Bai put on mourning clothes, knelt in front of the coffin, his eyes red and swollen from crying.

Prince Xuexing and his two companions walked up to the coffin, burned incense to "Xue Qinghe", and then saluted Mo Bai.

"Xiaobai, please accept my condolences. As Qinghe's uncle, I want to take one last look at Qinghe. Is that ok?"

Mo Bai nodded woodenly.
"Your Highness, please excuse me."

The three of them walked to the coffin. Dugu Bo lifted the white cloth and saw "Xue Qinghe" with his face covered with scratches.

The horrific scene frightened Xue Beng so much that his face turned pale. He almost couldn't help vomiting and quickly turned his head away.

Prince Xuexing stared at the body of "Xue Qinghe" intently, trying to find some clues, but unfortunately he found nothing.

Dugu Bo released his soul power to detect, and soon his brows furrowed. Prince Xuexing looked at him inquiringly,
Dugu Bo transmitted the message: "It is uncertain whether the corpse is that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but his body is filled with extremely violent murderous aura, which has already corroded all of his meridians and internal organs, leaving him completely devoid of life force. Such a domineering murderous aura is indeed unique to Tang Hao."

In fact, for Prince Xuexing, it didn’t matter whether the person lying inside was Xue Qinghe or not. As long as the matter was confirmed, even if Xue Qinghe was not dead, it would not cause much trouble. The reason why he asked Dugu Bo to come along was just to confirm it.

Now it seems that no other problems have been found.

Then the three of them comforted Mo Bai and left. Prince Xuexing originally wanted to recruit Mo Bai, but the timing was not right, so he did not speak.

Shortly after the three left, Ning Fengzhi came with his sword, Bone Douluo and Ning Rongrong. After burning incense, he still expressed his desire to see "Xue Qinghe", and Mo Bai did not refuse.

After lifting the white cloth, several people saw the tragic situation of "Xue Qinghe". Jian Douluo also came to the same conclusion as Dugu Bo after detecting with his soul power.

Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi told Mo Bai that he wanted to talk to him. After all, he had invested so much in Xue Qinghe, and now his bizarre death made him a little confused.

Mo Bai's reaction was very slow. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and he said hoarsely:

"it is good."

Mo Bai brought Ning Fengzhi and others to the study. After they sat down, the maid served them tea and then left.

At this time, Ning Fengzhi expressed the doubts in his mind.

"Xiaobai, can you tell me what happened after you and Qinghe came back?"

Mo Bai looked very sad, tears flowed from his red and swollen eyes, and he choked up and said:
"I don't know either. Everything was fine when I came back. The next day, Brother Xue arranged for me to be a teacher at Tiandou Royal Academy. I thought it was not good to live in the Prince's Mansion and eat and drink for free all day, so I agreed.

I didn't like running around all day, so I settled down at Tiandou Royal Academy. I didn't expect that Brother Xue would be gone after just a few days."

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a while and asked tentatively: "Xiaobai, have you ever thought of the possibility that the person in the coffin is not Qinghe?"

Mo Bai was surprised. "Impossible? Who else could it be but Brother Xue? I have also asked several maids and guards who have served Brother Xue in the past few days, and they didn't find anything wrong.

They told me that Brother Xue's face had been very pale these past few days and he occasionally fainted, but he never asked anyone to see him or let anyone else know the reason, and the specific reason was unclear.

By the way, they also told me that Brother Xue has been working until very late during this period, and I don’t know what he is busy with? No matter how rushed you are, you don’t have to be like this. You don’t even know to take a break when you feel uncomfortable. Sigh. "After Mo Bai finished speaking, he silently walked to the desk where Xue Qinghe worked, gently stroking everything on the table, as if recalling every bit of his acquaintance with Xue Qinghe.

While distracted, Mo Bai accidentally knocked over a few books, and a letter fell out of them, but he didn't notice it.

The letter fell to the ground, revealing the cover. On it were written the words "Xiao Bai personally wrote". The handwriting was a little sloppy, but it was indeed Xue Qinghe's.

Ning Fengzhi picked up the letter, handed it to Mo Bai, and said:
"Xiaobai, this is the letter Qinghe left for you."

Mo Bai took it excitedly, without sealing the letter, he pulled out the letter paper and read it carefully.

The letter was not long, but it was obvious that every word was written with great effort, but Mo Bai didn't mind.

"Xiao Bai, there has been no family affection in the royal family since ancient times. Brother Xue is very happy to have you as a brother. This has made me feel the warmth of family affection.

You have grown up and are no longer as willful as before. Brother Xue is very pleased.

I didn't want to say goodbye to you in this way, but I really couldn't hold on any longer. Please forgive my helpless act, Brother Xue.

Since returning from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, I suddenly felt a violent aura erupting in my body, which continuously eroded my internal organs and meridians. I was powerless to resist and could only silently wait for death to come.

Maybe you will laugh at me for being stupid, why don’t I seek help from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?
The reason is very simple. I am also a soul master and I know the condition of my body clearly. If I had discovered the problem in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it might have been possible, but it is too late now.

I know you don't like being bound, so I let you be a teacher at Tiandou Royal Academy.

The treatment in our Tiandou Royal Academy is not bad, and the management is not strict. It is better than living outside. And don't avenge me, you have to live happily.

There are so many things I want to say, but Brother Xue really can’t write anymore.

Xue Qinghe's last work.

After reading the letter, Mo Bai's tears flowed uncontrollably. He didn't say anything and just sat there blankly, with the letter falling to the ground.

Ning Fengzhi picked up the letter, read it, and handed it to Jian Chenxin.
"Uncle Jian, what do you think?"

Jian Chenxin took a quick look and passed the letter to Bone Douluo.

"I didn't expect Tang Hao's murderous intent to be so vicious. It was a mistake. I thought the prince was just frightened and didn't help check him."

Bone Douluo gave the letter to Ning Rongrong.

"The Haotian Sect is too overbearing. They kill the crown prince of a country without any hesitation, and this is the second time, hey."

Ning Rongrong didn't know what to say. Xue Qinghe was pretty nice to her, but the man who killed him was Tang San's father, and she had a crush on Tang San, so she was very conflicted.

Ning Fengzhi sighed deeply.

"At that time, all of our attention was focused on Xiaobai, and we didn't pay much attention to Qinghe. He himself might not have known the specific situation, and it was too late to discover the problem after he came back."

Suddenly, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and Mo Bai's cold voice rang out.

"Tang Hao, just wait for me. One day I will kill you."

Mo Bai's reaction did not surprise the people present. Ning Fengzhi comforted him:
"Xiaobai, the dead are gone, you should be more open-minded. Qinghe doesn't want you to live in hatred. What are your plans next? If you need anything, no matter how difficult it is, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will definitely help you."
