Douluo Continent: I am the Ice Archer, my ice power is invincible.

Chapter 32 Qian Renxue: You Have Guts

Lin Zhiruo was skeptical of Xiao Han's words.

She guessed that Xiao Han was up to something again.

Xiao Han said with a serious expression:

"Mom, I have indeed arranged a meeting with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I am about to do something that can change the fate of our Tianshui team members. I will help Tianshui Academy win the Soul Master Competition."

This time, Xiao Han didn't want to hide anything and planned to tell Lin Zhiruo the truth.

Only in this way would Lin Zhiruo willingly go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with him.

Lin Zhiruo was shocked by Xiao Han's words.

The goal of Tianshui Academy is to surpass the Thunder and Divine Wind Academies, which have always been a formidable force.

With the powerful Spirit Hall Academy around, winning the Soul Master Tournament is something they can only dream of.

However, Xiao Han's goal is to lead his team to victory.

Such a boastful tone left Lin Zhiruo looking puzzled.

"Xiaohan, what are you saying? What do you mean?"

"Mom, I know you'll object to this. But I still want to do it. I want to avenge my deceased parents and lead the academy to win the Soul Master Competition. Although I have good innate talent, it's far from enough. I must become stronger. A few years ago, when I went to Sunset Forest with you and Bing'er to collect herbs, I smelled the scent of immortal herbs, right there in Dugu Bo's poison array."

Lin Zhiruo instantly understood Xiao Han's meaning and immediately flew into a rage.

"You brat, it's been years, and you're still thinking about those rare herbs! You've seen Dugu Bo's strength firsthand; do you think he's someone we can mess with?!"

"Mom, please don't be angry, let me finish what I have to say."

Seeing that Lin Zhiruo remained silent, Xiao Han continued:

"Actually, I've been planning this for several years. Last time I went to Prince Xue Qinghe, I not only obtained the 'Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs,' but I also learned some very important information."

"What information?"

"Prince Xuexing holds a birthday banquet every year on the sixth day of the tenth lunar month. Dugu Bo and Prince Xuexing have a very close relationship. He will definitely attend on that day and will stay at the Prince's mansion all day."

"So, you plan to go to Sunset Forest on the sixth day of the tenth month and enter Dugu Bo's poison array?"

Xiao Han nodded.

"Sunset Forest is only two hundred miles from Tiandou City, a whole day is enough for us. Besides, I have already developed an antidote for the Jade Phosphorus Serpent's venom."

Lin Zhiruo pondered for a moment.

She knew that once Xiao Han made up his mind to do something, even she couldn't stop him.

But this is really too dangerous.

If they are not careful, she and Xiao Han will die in the Sunset Forest.

"Xiao Han, so you're saying His Highness the Crown Prince already knows about your plan?"

"That's right. The Crown Prince, Prince Xuexing, and Dugu Bo are not on the same side; in fact, they are adversaries. That's why he helped me. I went to Tiandou City to find him to confirm whether Dugu Bo would stay at the Xuexing Palace that day."

Lin Zhiruo fell silent again.

After a long while, she sighed.

"Xiaohan, I know that once you've made up your mind, you'll definitely do it. I can't just stand by and watch you get into danger, so I'll go with you."

"Thank you, Mom, you're the best to me!"

"Alright. I really don't know how long you're going to keep being so willful."

Although Lin Zhiruo was very angry, she was worried about Xiao Han and decided to accompany him to Sunset Forest.

Ten days later, the two arrived in Tiandou City.

This day was the fifth day of the tenth lunar month.

Xiao Han came to the palace alone to find Xue Qinghe.

Nearly a year later, Xue Qinghe was very happy to see Xiao Han again.

That year, Xiao Han grew much taller and no longer looked as childish as before. His face showed more determination, making him look like a handsome young man chasing the wind.

"Xiao Han, you still came."

"What? Does Your Highness not want me to come?"

Xue Qinghe smiled.

"I really don't want you to take the risk, but I think you'll still do it."

"Of course. I've thoroughly studied that 'Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herbs,' and it's finally going to come in handy."

"You are indeed someone I can help, and I admire your courage. I have good news for you: I have confirmed that Dugu Bo has been invited and will appear at the Prince's residence tomorrow."

"That's wonderful. I've been waiting for this day for years."

Xiao Han was filled with anticipation.

Xue Qinghe continued:

"Since I've already helped you, I might as well go all the way. I can assure you that Dugu Bo will not appear in Sunset Forest tomorrow, no matter what. One day should be enough time for you, right?"

"Thank you, Your Highness. One day is enough."

With Xue Qinghe's words, Xiao Han felt more at ease.

He knew that Qian Renxue had many experts secretly protecting her, including powerful figures like the Serpent Spear and the Porcupine, who were at the Title Douluo level.

Even if Dugu Bo left midway through the meeting, Qian Renxue could still send someone to stop him from going to Sunset Forest.

Xue Qinghe took a sachet out of his pocket and handed it to Xiao Han.

"Here, take this."

Xiao Han smiled sheepishly.

"Your Highness, I was just saying it casually last time, but you really took it to heart."

"Of course. I said I would give you one, and I will."

"Thank you, Your Highness. You are very kind."

Xiao Han quickly took it.

Xue Qinghe smiled slightly.

"You will stay in Tiandou City tonight. Tomorrow morning I will go to the Prince's Mansion. After I see Dugu Bo, I will have someone fire a whistling arrow into the sky as a signal to inform you. Then, you will go to Sunset Forest."

"Very well. Your Highness is much more thoughtful."

"I hope you can gather the herbs you want, or even the immortal herbs."

"Yes, thank you."

Afterwards, Xiao Han bid farewell to Xue Qinghe and left the palace.

After meeting Lin Zhiruo, Xiao Han told her about his meeting with Xue Qinghe.

Lin Zhiruo had some doubts.

"Xiao Han, why is His Highness the Crown Prince helping you like this? You haven't known each other for long, and this is only the third time you've met."

"Mom, there's a feeling called instant connection. We're destined to meet, we get along well, so she's willing to help me."

"Perhaps it's because he sees potential in you. Never mind, let's find a place to stay and wait for his news."

"Um."

The two then found a hotel in the city center to stay in.

Sure enough, the whistling sound of the signal arrow was heard early the next morning.

"Mom, that's the code given by the Crown Prince. Dugu Bo is already at the Prince's residence. We'll set off for Sunset Forest immediately."

"good!"

The two flew to Sunset Forest at an extremely fast speed, arriving in less than an hour.

"Xiao Han, are you tired from flying so fast?"

"I'm not tired. Mom, take this antidote pill, let's hurry and enter the poison array."

"Yes, we must leave here before dark."

"it is good."

After taking the antidote pill, the two flew directly into the Azure Scale Serpent Poison Array set up by Dugu Bo.

Xiao Han knew that finding the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was not difficult; it was located in the very center of Sunset Forest.

There is an inverted cone-shaped valley where thick, hot air rises from the valley, carrying a hint of sulfur.

"Xiao Han, what are you looking for? Didn't you say there were herbs you wanted in this poisonous array? There doesn't seem to be anything here!"

"Mom, I found it. Look, it's in that ravine over there."

Xiao Han didn't offer any further explanation and flew rapidly towards the mountain hollow.

He knew that the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was located at the bottom of that valley.
