The description of that child seems to be exactly the same as the one in front of me...

If he is that woman's disciple...

"It's alright, I'm the most forgiving person."

Xuan Hao waved his hand, not intending to delve into the matter. His current status was sensitive, and it was not advisable for him to get too involved with the royal family, especially Qian Renxue.

"Na'er, let's go."

Xuanhao grabbed Na'er, turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

Several imperial guards instinctively tried to stop them. After all, if they beat a prince in the street and just left like that, what would become of the royal family's reputation?

Moreover, if they let the murderer go, they won't be able to explain themselves when they get back.

"Get out!"

Xue Qinghe raised his hand to stop them.

"But Your Highness..."

"I said step back!" Xue Qinghe's voice was slightly cold. "The truth will be judged by history. Since Xue Beng was at fault first, he deserves to be taught a lesson. This matter ends here, there's no need to pursue it further."

Watching Xuan Hao and Na'er's departing figures, Xue Qinghe didn't look away until the two disappeared around the street corner.

"Teacher, what do you think?" Xue Qinghe turned to look at Ning Fengzhi.

“This child is extraordinary.” Ning Fengzhi said thoughtfully, “He is not even ten years old, yet his soul power has already reached level 30 or above. Such talent is unmatched even by Haotian Douluo back then.”

"Crimson gold vertical pupils, dragon's might as a prison..."

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, "It should be some kind of extremely powerful True Dragon Martial Soul. But I've never seen it before, even for myself. Perhaps it's a mutated Martial Soul inherited from some reclusive family."

"and……"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his voice calm yet carrying a hint of solemnity:

"If he intended to kill me..."

“Before you arrived, there was no one alive here except that little girl.”

Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe were both startled.

Chen Xin looked in the direction where Xuan Hao disappeared, "That sharp aura was definitely not just for show; it was the confidence and edge cultivated through countless battles and victories!"

"This child's background is definitely not simple."

……

Tiandou Royal Hotel.

As the most luxurious and highest-standard hotel in the Heaven Dou Empire, it has always only hosted members of the royal family, nobles, and high-level Soul Masters.

In the world of Soul Masters, level 30 is a watershed moment in Soul Master cultivation. Those above level 30 are called high-level Soul Masters, and as long as they are willing to swear allegiance to the royal family or the royal families of the kingdoms below, they can immediately obtain a noble title.

Because after a Soul Master reaches level 30, their strength undergoes a significant change, especially for Beast Soul Masters, who can fully possess their Martial Soul. Once these individuals are deployed to the battlefield, they are like bulldozers to ordinary armies.

"Brother, are we going to have to stay here for a long time?"

Na'er washed away the dust of the day, changed into a white silk nightgown, and sat on the sofa hugging a soft cushion, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Hao turned around, walked over and helped her tidy her messy silver hair.

Don't you like it here?

Na'er lowered her head, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just..."

"Are you still thinking about what happened during the day?" Xuan Hao squatted down and looked into her eyes.

Na'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. Nothing will happen," Xuan Hao said.

"You have to trust your brother, okay?"

“Okay!” Na’er nodded obediently.

"Then go to sleep early, your eyes are almost closed." Xuan Hao carried Na'er to the bedroom, covered her with a blanket, and watched her fall asleep.

He is waiting.

What happened on the street today, although an unexpected situation, was also somewhat unintentional.

Given Qian Renxue's suspicious and controlling nature, she would never sit idly by if she discovered a boy with "unknown identity," "suspected to be a secret weapon of the Papal Palace," and "monstrous talent" appearing on her territory.

She will definitely come to investigate, and may even come to contact her in person.

This involves a very subtle issue of "property".

If he were to go to the Crown Prince's residence to find Qian Renxue, in Bibi Dong's eyes, it would be "betrayal," "turning his back on someone else," and "colluding with that woman to make me angry."

But if Qian Renxue comes to us on her own, then that would be "force majeure".

If Bibi Dong were to hold him accountable later, he could simply shrug and feign innocence, pleading, "Teacher, I had no choice! I hid in the hotel and wouldn't go out, but who knew His Highness the Crown Prince was so well-informed and insisted on bringing people to block my door? I was forced! I even dared to defy him to the death!"

After this series of moves, no matter how angry Bibi Dong was, she could only vent her anger on Qian Renxue, and at most she would just curse at him, the "victim".

Chapter 36 Go quickly and invite Mr. Dugu.

……

As for that avalanche...

Although that guy was a spoiled brat pretending to be crazy, he was, after all, a prince, and an extremely vengeful scoundrel.

He lost face so badly today, having his hand broken in the street. He will definitely not let this go.

But someone as useless as him certainly wouldn't dare bring his own men to their deaths again.

The only powerful backer he could find, besides Emperor Xueye, was his uncle, Prince Xuexing, who had always supported him.

Prince Xuexing's greatest reliance is Dugu Bo, the titled Douluo who is unparalleled in the world for his "poison".

That old fox Xue Xing will definitely ask Dugu Bo to come out of seclusion, either to avenge his nephew or to test his background.

This forms a perfect closed loop.

What he desires most right now is the immortal herb from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. But he can't go directly to Dugu Bo; that would be too abrupt, too dangerous, and too inexplicable.

But what if Dugu Bo himself comes to cause trouble?

That would then become "legitimate self-defense," and his subsequent retaliation would be perfectly justified.

He may not be able to beat Dugu Bo, but can't he beat Dugu Yan?

If that old poisoner dares to bully the weak, then don't blame him for being unethical.

……

Meanwhile, at the Prince's Mansion.

"Uncle! You must do justice for me!"

With one arm in a sling, Xue Beng knelt before Prince Xue Xing, sobbing uncontrollably. "That scoundrel... he not only broke my arm, but also publicly humiliated the royal family! Even my elder brother... my elder brother sided with that outsider!"

"My brother is trying to win people's hearts! He doesn't care about the royal family's reputation at all!"

"Qinghe... he's becoming more and more unpredictable." Prince Xuexing snorted coldly, "For some wild boy of unknown origin, he actually embarrassed you in public."

"Uncle, that kid is still staying at the Tiandou Royal Hotel! We're going to catch him right now!" Xue Beng said through gritted teeth. "I'm going to break his arms and legs! And sell his sister to a brothel!"

"Shut up! You idiot!" Prince Xuexing glared at him. "How are you going to arrest him in broad daylight? Qinghe has already said he won't pursue the matter. If I lead troops to arrest him now, that would be slapping the Crown Prince in the face! Who will take responsibility when His Majesty blames us?"

"Then... what should we do? Just give up like this?" Avalanche asked unwillingly.

"Forget it?" Prince Xuexing sneered. "You broke the prince's hand and still want to live a carefree life in Tiandou City? Dream on!"

"Since Qinghe wants to win him over, then we'll destroy him!"

"Isn't this kid arrogant? Doesn't he even put the Imperial Guards in his eyes? Well, I'd like to see if he can still be arrogant in front of a Title Douluo!"

At this point, Prince Xuexing turned to his attendant and instructed:

"Get the car ready! Let's head to Sunset Forest!"

"I must go and invite Master Dugu to come out of seclusion!"

"Tell Mr. Dugu that a young man with a top-tier dragon-type martial soul has come to Tiandou City. He not only severely injured the Fourth Prince, but also boasted that his poison was a joke!"

"Mr. Dugu hated it most when people looked down on his poisons."

"I refuse to believe that kid can remain so tough under the deadly poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent King!"

……

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

As expected of a Title Douluo, Yue Guan traveled at full speed and crossed most of the Heaven Dou Empire in just one day, returning to Wuhun City dusty and weary from his journey.

At this moment, he was kneeling on the ground, giving a passionate and detailed report, following the script that Xuan Hao had taught him.

"Your Majesty... I am incompetent. Although I found Xuan Hao in Tian Dou City, he absolutely refuses to come back with me!"

Yue Guan's alluring face was filled with "heartache" and "helplessness," and she even managed to squeeze out a few tears:

“You didn’t see what the young master looked like… He’d lost a lot of weight, his eyes were sunken, and his clothes were all torn at the edges. When I found him, he was huddled in a corner of a small inn, eating dry rations. When he saw me, he was trembling all over, grabbing my sleeve and crying, ‘My teacher will definitely kill me!’…”

On the high platform, Bibi Dong, whose face was originally as cold as frost, loosened her grip on the scepter slightly upon hearing this description, and the sharp killing intent in her eyes also quietly dissipated by more than half.

"Humph."

Bibi Dong sneered. Although her tone was still tough, it was noticeably less aggressive: "Now you know fear? Back when he was pushing away the 100,000-year-old soul beast, I thought he was incredibly bold!"

“Yes, yes, he really knows he was wrong.” Yue Guan pressed on while the iron was hot. “He said he has no face to come back and see you. Unless… unless he can find a treasure that can make up for your loss, or make a great contribution, he would rather die outside than come back and offend your eyes.”

"Make up for the losses? Make a contribution?" Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "Him? How can he make up for the loss of two 100,000-year-old soul beasts? Stew himself up?"

Although she said that, Bibi Dong felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

Since she knows fear and wants to make amends, it means that this child still sides with the Spirit Hall and with her as his teacher.

As long as it's not a real defection, there's still room for maneuver.

“And…” Yue Guan carefully observed Bibi Dong’s expression and threw out his last trump card, “I have investigated. During the past half month that the young master has been in Tian Dou City, he has kept a low profile and has not mentioned a word about that…that Crown Prince. He has not even inquired about it.”

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's previously tense shoulders completely relaxed, and she leaned back in her chair, letting out a long breath.
