Chapter 22 Tit for tat
"Your Majesty... I do have an idea, but..."

Prince Xuexing spoke, his expression hesitant.

Xueye sighed wistfully, "Speak, say whatever you want to say."

The situation is already this bad.

He couldn't imagine anything worse.

Xue Qinghe also wanted to hear what ideas Prince Xue Xing could come up with.

Prince Xuexing said solemnly, "Your Majesty, isn't Dai Mubai of Shrek Academy the fourth prince of the Star Luo Empire? And Zhu Zhuqing is the third young lady of the Zhu family! Why don't we capture them and use them to exchange for Xue Beng!"

"Heh!" Xue Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle, suppressing his laughter.

Xueye and Xuexing looked over at the same time.

Seeing Xue Qinghe's appearance, the two of them frowned.

"Qinghe, what are you thinking?" Xueye asked.

At first glance, he thought that although Xuexing's idea was a bit despicable, it was still a good idea.

"Uncle, have you forgotten the rules of succession to the throne of the Star Luo royal family?" Xue Qinghe suppressed a laugh and said, "If we do things your way, I think Dai Yunxuan will not only refuse to exchange his fourth brother with us, but he would be more than happy if we killed them."

Upon hearing this, Xueye suddenly understood.

No wonder he also felt that something was not quite right.

Xuexing's expression also suddenly froze.

Sometimes, the rules for succession to the throne in the Star Luo Empire are really ridiculous.

"Secondly..."

Xue Qinghe's expression turned serious. He said, "If we use this method to exchange for our fourth brother, how will the world view our Tian Dou royal family? Has Uncle considered this?"

“Qinghe is right.” Xueye made a decision and said, “This matter… should be entirely handled by Qinghe. Xuexing, you should not interfere.”

“Yes…” Xuexing reluctantly stepped back.

Xue Qinghe returned to the Crown Prince's residence, pondering how to deal with the avalanche and Xue Xing.

Their fruitless return also disrupted her plans.

She never expected that Dai Yunxuan would want not only treasures but also land.

"Little Lord!"

Ci Xue flashed behind Xue Qinghe.

"Elder Ci Xue, what happened along the way?" Xue Qinghe turned around and stared at Ci Xue expressionlessly.

"Young Master, it's a long story, but I'll keep it short." Ci Xue began to tell Xue Qinghe everything he had seen along the way.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe smiled slightly: "You are wise to do this."

"Young Master, I think... we should take action and capture Dai Yunxuan to prevent future troubles!" Ci Xue said in a deep voice.

Dai Yunxuan's talent instilled fear in even this titled Douluo.

In his view, the only person in the world who could surpass Dai Yunxuan in talent was the young master before him.

Unfortunately, his young master had never neglected his soul power cultivation since childhood because he was busy with other matters, thus wasting the best time for cultivation.

This has resulted in his current soul power level being far inferior to Dai Yunxuan's.

In response to Ci Xue's suggestion, Xue Qinghe smiled wickedly, "Later troubles? With an opponent like that, life won't be boring!"

"We'll see!"

"I will conquer him sooner or later, and take down the Star Luo Empire along with him!"

Xue Qinghe raised his hand and made a fist, gazing into the distance with eyes that seemed to burn with fierce flames.

Bloodletting: ? ? ?
He could guess some of Xue Qinghe's thoughts.

This is the arrogance that belongs to the elite.

But... some things are better left unpredictable than unforeseen... and he couldn't make decisions on his own about such matters.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe waved his hand.

Another person appeared in front of her; the newcomer was a burly middle-aged man.

"Little Lord!"

Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "Elder Ci Xue, Elder She Long, you will come with me to Xingluo City to meet Dai Yunxuan!"

"Yes!"

……

Five days later, in a pavilion ten miles outside Xingluo City, incense smoke curled and peach blossoms drifted in the breeze. Dai Yunxuan sat opposite a woman of indescribable beauty.

The woman wore a simple and elegant white and gold robe, her eyes were bright, and her demeanor exuded extraordinary confidence.

"Truly worthy of being called the God of War, Dai Yunxuan!"

"How dare you come to this appointment alone!"

"Aren't you worried that we'll ignore the avalanche and your identity, and just kill you right here?"

Dai Yunxuan glanced at Ci Xue and She Long behind the woman and said, "I have never killed a Title Douluo."

"Insanity!"

She Long took a step forward, his aura exploding, revealing all nine of his soul rings, and a ten-foot-long serpent spear appeared in his hand.

"Even Dai Tianyang wouldn't dare speak to us like that!"

"Humph!"

Ci Xue also displayed his imposing aura, revealing nine soul rings.

Although Dai Yunxuan had overwhelmed Dugu Bo, they now had two Title Douluos present.

It would be too embarrassing to remain silent.

Dai Yunxuan calmly stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll kill the two of you first, and then discuss things with this young lady at my leisure."

"Insolence." The woman glanced at the two of them, her tone indifferent, but the two of them stepped back, each retracting their martial souls and soul rings, but still staring at Dai Yunxuan.

"I have never seen such an arrogant and conceited young man before!" She Long secretly transmitted his voice to Ci Xue.

Upon hearing this, Ci Xue nodded in agreement and secretly transmitted his voice back: "However, this Dai Yunxuan is indeed very powerful. He made Dugu Bo run away with his head in his hands in just two rounds. It's best to be careful!"

She Long: ? ? ?
"I am Qian Renxue, from the Spirit Hall. I have come here on behalf of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Kingdom to discuss matters concerning avalanches."

"And...the war between the two great empires."

Qian Renxue spoke calmly and skillfully as she brewed the tea.

Dai Yunxuan remained expressionless and sat back down. "I've already stated my conditions."

“You know that’s impossible.” Qian Renxue, acting like the hostess, poured Dai Yunxuan a cup of tea and then said, “Why don’t we each take a step back and discuss this matter perfectly, so that everyone can be happy?”

Dai Yunxuan glanced at the cup of tea but didn't touch it.

Qian Renxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but then relaxed instantly: "What? Are you afraid I'll poison it?"

Seemingly to prove that the tea was not poisoned, Qian Renxue took the teacup in front of Dai Yunxuan, drank the tea in one gulp, and showed the empty teacup to Dai Yunxuan.

Then he poured Dai Yunxuan another cup of tea.

Seeing this, Dai Yunxuan still ignored him and said, "I am not here to taste tea."

"Alright, let's get down to business." Qian Renxue moved her jade fingers slightly, and a wisp of azure light suddenly appeared and landed beside her hand.

This is a blue triangular piece, as clear as a gemstone, with ripples on its surface.

“You’ve stated your conditions, and I’ll state mine.”

"After I finish speaking, you can decide for yourself."
