Xu Dongyang was secretly delighted, and then said, "Hey~ I won't hide it from Your Highness. I encountered an assassination on the way to the Western Desert."

"Do you know who is the mastermind behind the assassination?" Xue Qinghe asked again.

Xu Dongyang replied seriously: "Prince Xuexing."

Xue Qinghe clenched his hands slightly, his expression uncertain. He carefully looked at Xu Dongyang's expression and found that he didn't seem to be joking, so he asked again:

"But what's the misunderstanding? Why would my uncle want to assassinate you? You just won the championship of the Continental Spirit Master Elite Competition for my Tiandou Empire not long ago."

Xu Dongyang looked directly into the other person's eyes, smiled gently, and then said seriously: "Your Highness, please don't play dumb with me. In addition to Emperor Xue Ye, the Tiandou royal family is divided into two major factions. One is the prince's faction led by Your Highness, and the other is headed by Prince Xue Xing."

"I actually have no intention of getting involved in the struggle for imperial power, but now Prince Xuexing obviously regards me as his highness's person. I have been implicated because of you, Brother Qinghe." Xu Dongyang looked at the other party with some resentment and complained.

Xue Qinghe was helpless, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I owe you a favor for this matter, so feel free to ask for anything you want."

He also understood that the other party didn't care about being assassinated at all, he just came to him to ask for benefits. The key was that the other party was right, so he couldn't not give in, otherwise it would discourage people.

Xu Dongyang's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can I ask for anything?"

"Just tell me, there are not many things in this world that I can't get." Xue Qinghe replied heroically, then picked up the teacup on the table.

He had a calm expression and looked very confident, even a little arrogant.

But he does have the capital to be arrogant. After all, apart from his official identity as the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, he is also the young master of the Spirit Hall, the most powerful force on the continent.

"I want the Tiandou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Sea Universe Cover, is that okay?"

Xu Dongyang looked at Xue Qinghe with scorching eyes, which were so hot as if to melt the other person, making Xue Qinghe feel uneasy.

Xue Qinghe's hand holding the teacup stopped and refused, "This... won't work."

His cheeks were slightly red and his expression was a little unnatural. After all, he had just made a big promise, but was slapped in the face. There was some resentment in his eyes when he looked at Xu Dongyang.

"What do you want that for?"

Xu Dongyang replied calmly: "I heard that it is a very high-level soul guide that can help people hide their aura. I am very interested in it."

He looked very calm and what he said was the truth. The Vast Sea Universe Cover could indeed help people hide their aura, but it had other uses that he didn't mention.

Xue Qinghe looked at the other party suspiciously, but couldn't see anything. Finally, he changed the subject and said, "Besides this, do you have any other requests?"

Xu Dongyang hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't have anything special I want for now. How about postponing this condition? I'll ask Your Highness if I need it in the future."

Xue Qinghe nodded and agreed to Xu Dongyang's proposal.

Xu Dongyang looked at the setting sun that was about to disappear into the horizon and said, "It's getting late. I should leave too."

"Do you need me to send someone to protect you secretly? In case my uncle attacks you again."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Qinghe. I won't bother you anymore."

Xu Dongyang declined politely. Who knows who the other party would send to protect him secretly? Whether it was a Titled Douluo or a Soul Douluo, they might discover Xiao Wu's identity. It would just be asking for trouble. And those below the Soul Douluo were not qualified to protect him.

His strength now is far beyond what it used to be, and he is fully confident that he can defeat the Soul Saint. If he were to face the former Mu Kuang again, he would not need to resort to any tricks. He is confident that he can crush the opponent head-on, even if the opponent uses his martial soul's true body.

Finally, Xu Dongyang left the Tiandou Palace with great satisfaction. He had gained a favor from Xue Qinghe for free, which might be of great use in the future. He had been coveting the Vast Sea Universe Cover of the Tiandou Empire for a long time. After all, from what was known so far, the Sea God was the easiest deity to obtain.

Chapter 117 Before Leaving

In Tiandou City, a rare visitor came to the Li clan today.

"Prince Xuexing, I wonder what brings you to my Li clan?" The patriarch of the Li clan sat on the first seat and asked an old man sitting below. There was a young man next to the old man.

Prince Xuexing smiled and replied, "I came here to discuss something important with the nobles."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I heard that a few years ago, a member of the noble family had a conflict with a young man, and the matter was later mediated by Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of my Tiandou Empire. I wonder if this is true?" asked Prince Xuexing.

Tai Tan narrowed his eyes and said in a dignified manner, "It is true. Prince, are you here to plead for that young man? If so, there is no need. I will not take action against him now."

Prince Xuexing frowned and explained quickly: "It's not what you think. On the contrary, I hope that Lord Titan will go and cause trouble for that young man. It would be best if he can eliminate the trouble once and for all." Xuexing's expression was a little gloomy, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

Ok?

Tai Tan was stunned for a moment, and realized that the other party didn't seem to be joking, so he said in a deep voice: "I have already promised your country's prince that I will no longer care about this matter. If I take action, wouldn't it be a slap in my face?"

Prince Xue Xing said: "According to the information I received, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe mediated in the name of the Tiandou Empire that day. The Titan tribe leader did not want to be hostile to our Tiandou Empire, so he gave the other party a face.

In fact, your worries are completely unnecessary. Xue Qinghe cannot represent our Tiandou Empire. I can assure you that our Tiandou Empire will not get involved in the dispute between you and that young man."

Tai Tan narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "You want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

After all, he is the clan leader and has lived for decades. It is said that old people become wise. The other party has made it so clear, how could he not see what the other party meant?

"good."

Prince Xuexing replied calmly, "If the nobles can kill the other party, I can increase my support for the Li clan in my personal name."

Tai Tan's face was uncertain. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I agree. Your Highness can rest assured and wait for news. But what kind of support can our Li clan get?"

In the end, Titan accepted the other party's proposal. He could choose to give up personal grudges for the benefit of the clan, and now he could naturally pursue the matter again for the benefit of the clan.

Finally, the two people in the hall continued to discuss, and the smiles on each other's faces became more and more intense.

"It's getting late. Now that the discussion is over, I should leave." Prince Xuexing looked at the sky outside, stood up and said.

"Goodbye, Prince." Titan stood up and saw him off with a smile.

Finally, Prince Xuexing led the young people behind him, walked onto his own carriage under the enthusiastic gaze of Titan, and then drove away.

In the carriage, the young man asked uneasily: "Uncle, is this okay? I feel that Xu Dongyang is quite evil."

Prince Xuexing replied calmly: "Avalanche, this is already the best solution. The leader of the Power Clan is a level 86 Soul Douluo. If even he can't be dealt with, then it can only be said that Xu Dongyang has become a force to be reckoned with. It is not something you and I can handle."

“But I didn’t expect that the two Soul Emperors I sent out couldn’t kill the other party. At first I thought the three of them had died together, but I didn’t expect that the other party would come back alive a year and a half later.

And I suspect that the other party already knows that I am the one behind the scenes. After all, those two Soul Emperors are not dead soldiers, but I spent a lot of money to hire them. I am afraid that I have already been exposed. "

Xue Beng asked in confusion: "Why didn't the emperor's uncle arrange for a group of assassins? Wouldn't it be safer this way?"

Prince Xuexing glanced at him, feeling contempt in his heart, and reprimanded him in a deep voice:

"What's your brain for? In the Heaven Dou Empire, a Soul Emperor can at best be the Lord of a city. Who isn't an important official of the Empire? Who would be willing to be your death warrior? Even the Spirit Hall doesn't have the capital to be so arrogant!"

"Yes, yes, what the emperor's uncle is saying is right. I was not thoughtful enough." Xue Beng quickly admitted his mistake. He had no temper at all in front of his uncle. After all, the latter was his only support in fighting against Xue Qinghe.

He quickly changed the subject and flattered him, "But the Emperor's uncle's trick of killing someone with a borrowed knife is really great! Not only can he get rid of Xu Dongyang, but he can also leave us out of it."

Facing Xue Beng's compliments, Xue Xing felt a little flattered, and a little proud in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and said:

"I came up with this idea after carefully observing Xu Dongyang's experience. So, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. If you want to compete with your elder brother Xue Qinghe, you need to understand him, instead of just idling around all day and being a second-generation rich kid."

"Uncle Huang is right. I will definitely change in the future."

On the other side, Xu Dongyang went straight back to the hotel after leaving Tiandou Palace. As soon as he entered the room, he heard Xiao Wu's complaints.

"Why did you take so long to come back?"

Xiao Wu puffed her lips and rushed forward angrily, but when she turned her head to look behind Xu Dongyang, she did not see Zhu Zhuqing, and then asked in confusion:

"Where's Zhuqing? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Xu Dongyang explained: "I plan to leave and go to a place to practice alone, which may take a year or two, so I will settle Zhu Zhuqing somewhere else."

After hearing this, Xiao Wu's excited heart suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on it, and she felt a little decadent and depressed.

"Leaving again?!"

She opened her bright and lively eyes and looked at him hopefully, "Can't you take me with you?"

"No!" Xu Dongyang refused very straightforwardly with an extremely tough attitude, leaving no room for negotiation.

Are you kidding? Taking Xiao Wu to the Slaughter City, that's like giving her away! He rejected the other party's proposal without even thinking about it.

Xiao Wu lowered her head and eyes, the bunny ears on her head drooped, and she looked listless.

It took her a while to accept the fact. She raised her head with some worry in her eyes and asked, "Then can you stay with me for a few days? Just the two of us."

There was a hint of pleading in her words and her look was somewhat sad, which made Xu Dongyang feel a little bit sorry for her.

"it is good!"

Afterwards, Xu Dongyang and Xiao Wu wandered around Tiandou City for a day. This time there were only two of them, and Xiao Wu was much more open than before.

Holding Xu Dongyang's arm, his movements were extremely intimate, with a faint smile on his face, but there was still a hint of sadness in his eyes.

The two of them walked all over the commercial street of Tiandou City and tried all the delicious food. They ate and walked around, and their footprints covered the entire Tiandou City.

When it was dark and the moon was high in the sky, the two returned to the hotel room.

Xu Dongyang lay on the bed with his eyes closed, resting, and the sounds of bathing came to his ears.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of bathing stopped and a fragrant breeze blew towards me.

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Xiao Wu lying beside him, holding him tightly with her arms.

Xiao Wu looked at him calmly, without any trace of shame on her face, but a hint of sadness between her brows.

Xu Dongyang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but before he could say anything, Xiao Wu spoke first:

"Don't talk, just hold me!"

Xu Dongyang gently put his hand through the other person's neck, then hugged him, and the two hugged each other tightly.

"Turn off the lights." Xiao Wu's whisper came.

Xu Dongyang snapped his fingers and a force hit the light switch, and the room suddenly darkened.

Xiao Wu hugged Xu Dongyang more and more tightly, and her whole body seemed to merge into Xu Dongyang's body.

Xu Dongyang smelled the fragrance coming from the other person, and his heart was surging like a storm. He was extremely entangled, as if a demon whispered in his ear:

"It's already like this, why are you still standing there? Come on! You're making me so anxious."

Just as he was about to take action, an angelic voice sounded in his heart: "Are you really going to do this? Xiao Wu hasn't expressed her opinion yet! Maybe all this is just your imagination."

In the end, Xu Dongyang did nothing. He just held Xiao Wu's delicate body all night.

Until late at night, his eyelids began to tremble and he became drowsy. Soon, he began to snore softly.

A soft whisper came from the dim room.

"fool!"

Chapter 118 The Weird Clerk

The next morning.

Xu Dongyang slowly woke up from his sleep, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked around, but found no trace of Xiao Wu.

His heart skipped a beat and all sleepiness disappeared, so he quickly got up.

The hotel rooms are large and well-equipped, with not only bedrooms but also bathrooms, living rooms and kitchens.

Da Da Da~

There were unusual sounds in the room. Xu Dongyang moved his ears slightly and went in the direction of the sound.

Soon, Xiao Wu was seen busy in the kitchen.

Xiao Wu was wearing a beige apron, her hair was simply put up with a headband, and her rosy little face was stained with a little dust.

From time to time, I was choked by the fumes and couldn't help coughing.

"Are you cooking?" Xu Dongyang asked.

Even though he had witnessed everything with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe that Xiao Wu, who only knew how to eat, drink, play and sleep in, would actually get up early in the morning to make breakfast.

Hearing Xu Dongyang's voice, Xiao Wu trembled and turned to look quickly.

Then she hurried forward in a panic, pushed Xu Dongyang away, and said, "Go out first and wait outside. Don't look around."

Xu Dongyang was pushed out of the kitchen by her. He smiled helplessly and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Obviously, Xiao Wu, who was cooking for the first time, didn't want anyone to see her in such a mess.

By the time Xu Dongyang finished washing up, Xiao Wu had already finished her work. There were a few more dishes on the table, which were obviously the result of Xiao Wu's work.

Xiao Wu was sitting at the dining table. When she saw Xu Dongyang coming out after washing up, she quickly called out, "Come over to eat!"
