Chapter 113 Showdown [Please Subscribe]

Lu Xian landed directly at the door of the study on his rainbow-riding device. The two Soul Saint-level guards at the door did not even glance at him, as if they had not seen him at all, obviously having received instructions from Xue Qinghe in advance.

They also managed to send away the patrolling Imperial Guards who were shouting about assassins; they were clearly perceptive.

Lu Xian glanced at the two people. They should both be from the Spirit Hall. Xue Qinghe has already begun to openly place Spirit Hall people in the palace.

"Brother Lu, I've been waiting for you so long, I've finally got you!"

Xue Qinghe sensed Lu Xian's presence and greeted him with a smile. She gently supported Lu Xian's arm and led him inside, perfectly embodying the meaning of being eager to seek out talent and treating scholars with respect.

Lu Xian smiled and nodded in greeting. The two chatted and laughed, exchanging pleasantries as they walked unhurriedly past several desks and screens to the innermost part of the study. The space here was very large, and the desk was piled high with various documents and memorials of all sizes submitted by important officials.

Sandalwood incense was lit in several corners, and wisps of smoke drifted through the room, filling the air with a pleasant fragrance that was both refreshing and invigorating.

Emperor Xueye was not in good health and often needed to lie down to rest, so there were no chairs in his study. Behind the desk piled with folding paper was a soft sofa.

Lu Xian casually sat down on the sofa, picked up a document from the table and glanced at it. It contained detailed information on the grain production and tax revenue of Soto City in the Kingdom of Barak this year. To be honest, this should be considered a state secret.

Upon seeing the name Soto, Lu Xian couldn't help but think of someone he had almost forgotten: Tang San!

"Brother Lu, are you interested in these?" Xue Qinghe asked with a smile as he sat down beside him.

If it were any other emperor, and a subordinate dared to sit on the same chair as him and casually peruse his memorials, it would be tantamount to rebellion, and he would probably have already sentenced the person to death in his mind.

But Xue Qinghe didn't mind, because this person was Lu Xian. He knew Lu Xian's character too well. Even if he gave him the throne, he probably wouldn't bother to sit down.

Emperors prefer people who are powerful but lack ambition, and who only want to laze around and enjoy life.

Sure enough, the next second Lu Xian casually tossed the memorial aside.

"My head hurts from looking at this. Where's Xue'er? Have her come over and give me a massage."

"Well……"

Xue Qinghe clearly hadn't expected Lu Xian to bring this up suddenly. His face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, his eyes wide open, and he began to spout lies without hesitation:

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

"Brother Lu, to be honest, Xue'er said goodbye to me this morning, saying that she has some family matters to attend to and needs to go back to her hometown. She may not be back for several months."

Will he really come back in a few months?

No, no!

Months later, she died on the road!

Xue Qinghe was quite meticulous in finding excuses. He had just gotten out of Lu Xian's bed in the morning, and if he said Xue'er was dead now, he would definitely be suspected. So he laid the groundwork by going home first, and then everything would be settled.

It's impossible to find any flaws!

"Will you be back in a few months?"

Lu Xian raised an eyebrow. What did that mean?

You want to go months without serving your master, right?

"That's what Xue'er told me."

Xue Qinghe chuckled dryly and quickly changed the subject: "I presume Brother Lu already knows the message I asked Xue'er to deliver last night?"

Seeing Lu Xian nod, Xue Qinghe continued, "The capital is currently in turmoil, and the three kingdoms each control powerful armies. If they unite, we will be attacked from three sides, which will be extremely unfavorable for us. What I fear most is that they will spread rumors everywhere, which may cause the people's hearts to be lost. In your opinion, Brother Lu, what is the solution to this problem?"

"Just kill them if they attack..." Lu Xian shrugged. He didn't care who they were or what the people's will was. If they dared to provoke him, he would kill them all and force the Heavenly Battle, or even unify the entire Douluo Continent. Time would naturally erase everything, and history would be written by the victors.

Just like the Han Dynasty called the Qin Dynasty "tyrannical Qin" and the Tang Dynasty called the Sui Dynasty "tyrannical Sui," whether you were truly tyrannical or not, once you entered the history books and were passed down to later generations, you were considered tyrannical!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Are you some kind of murderer reincarnated, a bloodthirsty monster?

Xue Qinghe thought to himself, "So, it's not like you're going to become emperor in the future, and you don't have to bear the blame..."

"Brother Lu, killing is indeed the fastest way, but Qinghe believes that if we could offer them amnesty, wouldn't the effect be better? It would avoid internal strife in Tiandou, prevent casualties and depletion of national strength, and allow them to continue to serve as the gateway of Tiandou Empire, keeping an eye on Xingluo Empire. It would kill two birds with one stone."

It can also preserve my reputation, Xue Qinghe, achieving three goals at once.

"Is it a warrant for amnesty?"

Lu Xian chuckled and said:

"I advise you not to have such unrealistic ideas. If they could really be granted amnesty, would they still be able to mobilize troops on their respective borders? If you ask me, I would suggest that you directly send Title Douluos to assassinate them one by one, wipe out all your royal uncles and their confidants, and then take back all the military power of the entire Heaven Dou Empire. That would be the right choice."

"As long as your sword is sharp enough, then you are the truth!"

Xue Qinghe frowned slightly. This was indeed the fastest way, but doing so would expose his identity as the young master of the Spirit Hall. He was afraid that once exposed, Lu Xian and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would no longer help him, and might even turn against him.

This is also the main reason why he has continued acting.

He hesitated, wondering what the chances were of Lu Xian continuing to support him if he revealed his identity.

"By the way, Brother Xue, do you know Shrek Academy in the Barak Kingdom? I'd like to ask you for a favor. There's a guy named Tang San at that academy, and I hope you can arrange for someone to go there and capture him for me, dead or alive," Lu Xian suddenly said.

"Tang San?" Xue Qinghe felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had seen it in some secret report.

"Brother Lu, please wait a moment..."

Xue Qinghe stood up, turned his back to Lu Xian, bent down, reached into a porcelain vase about half his height next to the sofa, pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, glanced at it, and then casually threw it away.

"Not this one..."

He reached in again and continued rummaging.

Lu Xian looked at Xue Qinghe's buttocks, which were sticking up high and swaying back and forth as she reached for the vase, and took deep breaths to suppress the desire within him.

I can't hold back any longer, the primal power within me is really about to burst out!

He's about to unleash his beastly nature!

—"A Thousand Years of Killing!"

"ah--!!"

After a while.

Xue Qinghe sat on the sofa furthest from Lu Xian with a resentful look in her eyes, while Lu Xian was reading the information on the note.

"This is a message that the Star Luo Empire sent to Xue Ye. I only found it by chance yesterday. I didn't think it was anything important, so I threw it in the bottle. It was only when you mentioned Tang San that I remembered this note..."

The note contained the message that Tang San, a member of the Evil Soul Masters of the Bad People of the Heavenly Animal Star, had kidnapped the Zhu family's young lady, committing heinous crimes. After killing nearly ten soul masters from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire, he fled to the Heaven Dou Empire and his whereabouts were unknown. The Star Luo Empire hoped to join forces with the Heaven Dou Empire to issue an arrest warrant to capture Tang San and hand him over to the Star Luo Empire for processing.

When Lu Xian saw this message, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Good heavens, the Zhu family still holds a grudge against me for impersonating Tang San back then.

Lu Xian casually tossed a note: "Did Emperor Xue Ye issue an order to arrest Tang San?"

"As far as I know, no." Xue Qinghe shook his head.

Lu Xian pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, then Tang San should still be at Shrek Academy. He is Tang Hao's son, possesses twin martial souls, and has some hidden weapons that are difficult to defend against. Arrange for a Title Douluo to capture him for me."

"A Titled Douluo?"

Xue Qinghe asked in confusion, "Brother Lu, Sword Douluo's injuries from your attack haven't healed yet, and Bone Douluo usually has to guard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Where do I have any more Title Douluos to use?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xian raised an eyebrow, reached out and grabbed Xue Qinghe's wrist, pulled him to sit on his lap, and pulled him into his arms, beginning to grope him. Xue Qinghe instinctively reached out to protect himself, his mind momentarily blank.

Just then, Lu Xian leaned forward slightly, smiling as he whispered in his ear, "Brother Xue, you smell so good!"

"How come it smells so good, just like Xue'er's?"

"I really want to kiss you..."

Xue Qinghe: ...

In that instant, Xue Qinghe had a sudden inspiration and realized something!

It turns out that Lu Xian knew his identity from the very beginning. Thinking about it this way, everything that happened before makes sense!

But he realized it too late; he had already been completely taken advantage of. Thinking about his performance, which he considered quite superb these past few days, and then facing Lu Xian's ambiguous smile, he was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Bring all the forces you can mobilize from the Spirit Hall. I'll cover for you, quell internal strife, expand foreign territory, and silence all dissenting voices!"

I want ninety-nine percent of the world of Douluo Continent!
