Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 220 Honesty and Integrity

"Back then, it wasn't just Shrek Academy that harmed your sister, but also the Spirit Hall."

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, pondering whether Xue Qianrenxue's second half of her sentence was intentional.

He always felt that this woman was extremely malicious and was deliberately trying to steer his hatred toward the Spirit Hall.

Chen Xuan's mind was racing, his eyes filled with suspicion as he stared intently at Qian Renxue, who was standing beside Xue Qinghe, trying to see through her thoughts.

Unfortunately, he failed. Qian Renxue disguised herself very well and was very meticulous. Otherwise, how could she have lived in the palace for more than ten years without being discovered?

"As expected, this woman is very dissatisfied with Bibi Dong. Does she want to take control of the Spirit Hall herself?" Chen Xuan thought to himself. It seemed unlikely, after all, Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong had a very bad relationship, and her ambition was great, no less than anyone else's.

Moreover, she has the strength to back her up; her soul power has probably reached the Soul Douluo level by now, and she also has the support of Qian Daoliu and other titled Douluos from the Hall of Offerings.

Just now, Xue Qinghe had asked Chen Xuan to join his ranks, and he couldn't help but suspect that the plot to rebel against and usurp the throne of Emperor Xue Ye might just be a pretext, and that he actually wanted Chen Xuan to help him reclaim the Spirit Hall.

Initially, Chen Xuan really didn't want to get involved, but now that he knows that the other party repelled the assassins from the Spirit Hall and Shrek Academy, and repeatedly protected Chen Yiyi, this is already a great favor.

He wasn't worried that Xue Qinghe was lying to him. You can't lie about something like that; it would be easy to find out if you investigated. Besides, he also believed that, given Bibi Dong's crazy personality, if she couldn't kill him, she would definitely take action against the people around him.

"Alright, Your Highness, I understand what you mean. Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Chen Xuan agreed, sighed, and realized he really had to risk his life for someone else.

He didn't want to owe too many favors, but he should also repay kindness and do what needed to be done.

Xue Qinghe's lips curled into a triumphant smile. She was very satisfied with Chen Xuan's answer; it was worth all the effort she had put into nurturing Chen Yiyi.

"You're great. I believe that in the near future, you'll be very glad you made this decision." She stood up and extended her hand to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan shook hands with her, which signified that the cooperation had been reached.

"Over the years, Emperor Xueye has been plagued by illness. Now he is old and frail, and his days are numbered. When that time comes, it will be our opportunity to rebel," Xue Qinghe said, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

Chen Xuan clicked his tongue. Xue Ye was a strong person, how could his body have problems? It must be because Qian Renxue had been poisoning him for many years that he was in this state.

He wasn't happy. The cooperation was reached, but this woman was so dishonest, hiding everything, which only made others lose trust.

Moreover, Chen Xuan could sense that the other party wanted to divert his hatred towards the Spirit Hall to deal with Bibi Dong. With his current strength, he could easily turn the Papal Palace upside down.

Now that a cooperation has been reached, it's best to be honest with each other and avoid scheming and conspiracies.

"Xue Qinghe, this isn't very sincere," Chen Xuan said, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Xue Qinghe frowned and said, "Speak, what kind of sincerity do you want? A soul bone or a soul ring? Or perhaps the throne?"

"These things are very tempting to Soul Masters, but I don't care about them or need them. Even if I wanted them, I could get them myself," Chen Xuan said.

Xue Qinghe frowned even more deeply, his voice turning slightly cold as he asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"I told you, you're not sincere. You want others to fight desperately while you also want to scheme against them. That's not the mark of a good emperor," Chen Xuan said, waving his hand.

Xue Qinghe's eyes gleamed. Having spent over a decade scheming, she naturally thought of plotting against others.

She put on a smile, adopted a more friendly tone, and said gently, "Then tell me, what would constitute sincerity?"

"It's no use saying it; you have to be honest with me, for example, by speaking under your real identity," Chen Xuan said calmly.

His tone was calm, but to Xue Qinghe, it was like a muffled thunderclap, instantly chilling her to the bone and sending a shiver down her spine.

"Chen Xuan, tell me, how did you know!" Her face immediately darkened, her eyes turned cold, and she lost all her elegant demeanor.

From the shadows inside the house, a dark figure emerged, his soul power surging, and nine soul rings—yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appeared simultaneously, revealing him to be a genuine Title Douluo.

"Chen Xuan, tell me, how did you find out!" Xue Qinghe had already stood up, his expression cold and devoid of any emotion.

After more than a decade of planning, now is the perfect opportunity for her to rebel and seize power. She must not reveal her true identity, and if she does not receive a satisfactory response, she will not hesitate to kill the person.

"Qian Renxue, you can't trap me. I've already placed coordinates more than ten kilometers away, and I can use my spatial soul skill to leave at any time. You can try to see who's faster!" Chen Xuan's face also turned cold. Was she trying to kill him to silence him?

He was no longer the young man he once was. How could he not have prepared a backup plan when he entered such a strict place as the palace?

"What exactly do you want to do!" Xue Qinghe's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice was as cold as a frozen cellar.

Chen Xuan frowned and said, "You're being too sensitive. I only said we should be honest with each other."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's expression softened considerably, and his murderous aura subsided. However, the super strongman in the corner did not withdraw his martial spirit and was staring at Chen Xuan with hostility.

"If you have no other intentions, you will see my true identity on the day of the rebellion," Xue Qinghe said, his tone becoming calm.

She sat down, picked up her teacup, swirled it slightly, and said, "Now, can you tell me how you saw through my disguise?"

She was very concerned about this matter. If the other party could see through it so easily, did someone in the royal family also see through her disguise?

"This is the power of my eyes. No illusion or disguise can fool these eyes." Chen Xuan pointed to his Mangekyou Sharingan.

He came up with a plausible reason; he couldn't very well say he had memories of a past life.

Xue Qinghe raised his eyes and stared into Chen Xuan's scarlet pupils. Even from a distance, he could still feel the incredibly cold and evil soul power emanating from him.

"Young talents emerge from among the elite, Chen Xuan. You are indeed extraordinary. Tang San pales in comparison to you," she commented.

In her early years, she had high hopes for Tang San and wanted to win him over, but in the end she chose the person in front of her.

"I just had some opportunities and put in the necessary effort, it's nothing special," Chen Xuan replied, and continued, "As for Tang San, he just likes to rely on external things. His martial soul is already half-crippled. He awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, but he's no different from before."

"It seems you have a very low opinion of him." Xue Qinghe put down his teacup, stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "Go see your sister. She has been thinking of you these past few years, but I haven't told her that you had died."

Now that Yiyi is safe, Chen Xuan is not in a hurry. There are still some things to do before that.

"Could you look after her a little longer? I'm going to Shrek Academy. Some people need to shed some blood, and Shrek Academy has no reason to exist anymore."

Chen Xuan said no more and directly used his space-time ability to disappear from this Eastern Palace without a trace, and no one could stop him.

Xue Qinghe's eyes shone brightly, a hint of surprise on her face. It seemed she had underestimated Chen Xuan; his methods were more sophisticated than she had anticipated. He hadn't lied earlier; indeed, no one could stop him from leaving.
