An Explanation; Sorting Things Out

Xue Qinghe's expression was quite interesting, and he suddenly realized something.

At the same time, Xue Qinghe felt a little scared.

"Teacher Du Bai is from the Spirit Hall. Could the news of his Spirit Bone Set being leaked be the Spirit Hall's doing?"

As Xue Qinghe thought about it, he suddenly became frightened.

If this matter is related to the Spirit Hall, then how should I, as the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, deal with it?

In an instant, Xue Qinghe found himself in an awkward dilemma.

Just yesterday, Xue Qinghe even asked his father, the emperor, for help, volunteering to investigate the matter of Advertisement Paper.

Now there's no need to investigate further; the force behind the Advertisement Paper production is sitting right in front of him, and the mastermind behind it all is none other than his teacher Du Bai.

What's the point of investigating this?

To investigate further and report the information to the Heaven Dou Empire would be to betray Teacher Du Bai!

Xue Qinghe was immediately put in an awkward situation, and his expression became ugly and strange.

Just as Xue Qinghe was in a dilemma, Teacher Du Bai spoke up.

"That kid Taizheng is quite thoughtful, I'll remember that!"

"You did an excellent job with the Advertisement Paper yesterday. Once this matter is settled, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Now that the news about the Soul Bone has spread, there's no need to continue making Advertisement Paper!"

"During this time, your Strength Clan should keep a low profile and avoid being traced back to us!"

Du Bai first praised the Strength Clan for their excellent completion of the mission.

Then, Du Bai continued:

"Furthermore, there's something I need your Strength Clan to accomplish!"

"This matter involves you acquiring and stockpiling building materials such as refined iron and Mystic Stone, starting today!"

"In the future, I need to establish my own territory and power base. At that time, the elders of your Strength Clan will handle the relevant matters!"

"If you run out of Gold Soul Coin, you can ask me for more!"

"There's nothing else!"

Taino listened carefully and attentively to Du Bai's instructions and explanations, word by word.

"Young Master Du, I've got it!"

"After I return, I will definitely convey your message to the family, Young Master!"

"Our family has plenty of Gold Soul Coin right now. If we run out, we'll ask you for more, young master!"

Taino replied respectfully.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Du Bai nodded in satisfaction and said, "Taking the Strength Clan to work for me was indeed a wise choice."

The grand villas of the future, and even the buildings of the faction they establish, will all depend on the construction of this Strength Clan.

Du Bai plans to subdue the other three major families among the Four Great Families: the Speed Clan, the Breaking Clan, and the Defense Clan, on an auspicious day!

After explaining Taino's situation, Du Bai looked at his Xue Qinghe.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe's expression was not good, as if he was thinking about something.

"My dear disciple, you've heard about the Spirit Bone Set and the Advertisement Paper flyers, haven't you? It was all my idea!"

"Is there anything you want to ask? Your teacher can answer your questions!"

"Also, what brings you here to see me today?"

Du Bai interrupted Xue Qinghe's thoughts with a gentle tone.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe was filled with mixed emotions.

However, since Du Bai was the teacher to whom Xue Qinghe had sworn an oath with his Martial Soul, he dared not hide it from him.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe revealed his innermost thoughts in detail:

"Teacher Du, it's like this, I returned to the palace last night."

Xue Qinghe began to tell Du Bai that after returning to the palace yesterday, he went to attend the court assembly of the Heaven Dou Empire.

At the court assembly, Xue Qinghe displayed his awakened and evolved Swan Martial Soul, gaining the support and praise of his father and the ministers.

Meanwhile, Xue Qinghe volunteered to investigate the matter of the Advertisement Paper.

"Teacher, this is what happened!"

"I never imagined that the power behind the Advertisement Paper was actually you, Master. This puts me in a difficult position, but I will certainly not reveal any information about you!"

"Furthermore, I would like to ask, Master, is it the Spirit Hall's intention for your Strength Clan to produce Advertisement Paper?"

Xue Qinghe spoke respectfully with a solemn expression.

Du Bai did not reply, but Taino, who was standing to the side, was secretly surprised.

Taino gleaned a lot of information from Xue Qinghe's words.

"Young Master Du has awakened and evolved the First Prince's martial spirit!"

"This Xue Qinghe actually came to investigate the Advertisement Paper."

"Furthermore, it seems that Young Master Du Bai has connections with the Spirit Hall?!"

Taino's head was buzzing as he began to process the various pieces of information.

Seeing the puzzled looks on Taino and Xue Qinghe's faces, Du Bai felt a headache coming on.

"Alright, since you're all here, I'll explain it to you in detail!"

Du Bai said helplessly.

There were some things that Taino knew that Xue Qinghe did not.

Xue Qinghe knew some of the information that Taino did not.

The two of them had misinformation, so they always had a look of doubt on their faces.

Du Bai felt helpless and had no choice but to go through the process for the two of them again.

Just then, a soft knock came from outside the private room.

It was clear that the tea and snacks prepared by Miss Xiao Mo and the others had arrived.

"Come in!"

Xue Qinghe spoke calmly towards the outside of the private room.

After receiving permission, Miss Xiao Mo and Miss A Zi brought out tea and snacks and distributed them to Du Bai, Bibi Dong, Taino, and Xue Qinghe.

Du Bai and the others were discussing matters that were not suitable for others to hear, so Xiao Mo and A Zi did everything themselves and did not arrange for maids or servants to come and serve them.

After the tea and snacks were served, A Zi and Xiao Mo tactfully withdrew.

Du Bai picked up the antique-style teacup, took a small sip, and then slowly began to speak:

"Let me tell you about the Spirit Bone Set and my relationship with the Spirit Hall."

That's right.

Du Bai slowly began to explain to Xue Qinghe and Taino his status within the Spirit Hall, his lack of belonging to the Spirit Hall, and finally, he talked about the emergence of the Spirit Bone Set and its fourteen-day lifespan.

Du Bai's gentle words conveyed a great deal of information, which was quite astonishing.

At this moment, these information points were like thunderclaps, bombarding Taino and Xue Qinghe's minds.

During this time, the expressions of Taino and Xue Qinghe also became quite interesting.

It wasn't until a short while after Du Bai finished speaking that Taino and Xue Qinghe calmed down and fully digested the information Du Bai had shared.

Taino knew about the Spirit Bone Set, but he didn't know about the relationship between Young Master Du Bai and the Spirit Hall.

When he heard that Young Master Du Bai was the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, his face darkened and he almost lost his temper on the spot.

Because the Strength Clan and the Spirit Hall are not on good terms, and the Strength Clan was suppressed by the Spirit Hall due to the influence of the Clear Sky Sect, the two sides have a grudge.

Therefore, Taino dislikes the Spirit Hall.

Fortunately, although Young Master Du Bai is a prodigy and Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, he doesn't feel much a sense of belonging to it. All his actions so far are his Young Master Du Bai!

At the same time, Young Master Du Bai also stated on the spot that if he took the Strength Clan under his command, he would naturally protect the Strength Clan and would not help the Spirit Hall to attack them.

This calmed Taino down considerably.

Goodnight, everyone! Good morning! Good afternoon!! Get some sleep, everyone!! Wishing you all happiness and success~
