Qinghe's Defense
Just now, the three elders of the Clear Sky Sect, Xue Qinghe, and Prince Xue Xing discussed with each other which faction would temporarily store the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set.
At first, the art style was quite normal.
At that time, the three elders of the Clear Sky Sect insisted on storing the Spirit Bone Set within the Clear Sky Sect.
Xue Qinghe, however, insisted on keeping the item within the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family.
At that time, both sides were arguing their case.
During this time, Prince Xue Xing looked at Xue Qinghe with admiration and nodded slightly. He was satisfied with Xue Qinghe's rejection of the Clear Sky Sect and felt that Xue Qinghe had the potential to achieve great things.
But to everyone's surprise, the Fifth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect retorted, "It's true that your Heaven Dou Imperial Family paid for it, but do you have the strength to protect this set of Soul Bone? If it's lost, can you take responsibility?"
When the Fifth Elder said this, he also released his Titled Douluo cultivation without reservation, as did the Second Elder and the Seventh Elder beside him.
The overwhelming aura made Xue Qinghe and Prince Xue Xing feel extremely uncomfortable and uneasy.
However, in Prince Xue Xing's view, the three elders of the Clear Sky Sect did not dare to use force. As long as they persisted and reasoned with them, they could still preserve this set of Soul Bone.
But to everyone's surprise, Xue Qinghe, who was favored by Prince Xue Xing, suddenly backed down and agreed to the request of the three elders of the Clear Sky Sect.
Although Xue Qinghe's words at the time, "If your Clear Sky Sect is lost, you will be responsible!" were spoken with great momentum and domineering power.
But think about it with your own eyes: after the Clear Sky Sect Seclusion, its position was uncertain. It was the number one sect in the world, with countless experts. Who could steal their Spirit Bone Set? What responsibility would they have?
"Alas, Qinghe, if the Clear Sky Sect absconds with the Spirit Bone Set and never returns, you can't bear the responsibility!"
Prince Xue Xing sighed, slumped into his chair, and spoke with a look of disappointment.
"Uncle, judging from the Clear Sky Sect's momentum, no matter what we say, they will take advantage of our weakness and temporarily seize the Spirit Bone Set!"
"Instead of engaging in futile negotiations with them, it's better to be generous and give them what they want, while holding them accountable!"
"What's more, we have Uncle Dugu Bo and the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect experts. We can go to the Clear Sky Sect to demand an explanation later!"
Xue Qinghe spoke with reason and evidence.
Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing sighed again and said:
"Child, you're still young. You're treating the Spirit Bone Set like a meat bun—once it's thrown to a dog, it's gone forever!"
"The Clear Sky Sect obtained the Spirit Bone Set and fused with it on the spot. With their formidable strength, your Uncle Dugu and your friends from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect definitely can't defeat them!"
"Moreover, both the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect have been attacked, and the extent of their losses is still unknown!"
"In short, once the Clear Sky Sect took the Spirit Bone Set, they won't give it back easily!"
Prince Xue Xing said helplessly.
"That would be perfect, Uncle! I'd love for the Clear Sky Sect to stop Soul Bone!"
Of course, this was what Xue Qinghe was thinking.
On the surface, Xue Qinghe remained amicable and patiently explained his reasons for his actions to Prince Xue Xing.
"Uncle, you're right!"
"However, if the Clear Sky Sect breaks its promise, then they will be unworthy of calling themselves the number one sect in the world, and they will be despised by everyone!"
Xue Qinghe insisted on his reasoning and explained.
"Ha, what use is reputation in the face of absolute profit?!"
"As the Crown Prince, don't you know that in the Soul Master World, it's common for brothers to kill each other in order to compete for Soul Bone!"
"Moreover, the Clear Sky Sect doesn't dare to face the Spirit Hall, and the cowardly Sect Seclusion has already ruined their reputation in the Soul Master World!"
"They're not afraid of being humiliated again. Once the elders of the Clear Sky Sect fuse with this Soul Set and their strength increases dramatically, and the Clear Sky Sect emerges from seclusion, who will have the strength to criticize them or challenge them?"
Prince Xue Xing shook his head and said solemnly.
"So, Uncle, the way we voluntarily handed over this Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set to their Clear Sky Sect is a gesture of goodwill!"
"If the Clear Sky Sect is truly as you say, Uncle, then we will voluntarily hand over the Soul Bone. If they come out of seclusion, they will certainly not cause us any trouble!"
Xue Qinghe argued earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing repeatedly rubbed his forehead.
"Then it would be better to fuse it with your Uncle Dugu Bo! With his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, paired with this Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set, he could probably even poison Titled Douluo to death in the future!"
"Oh, what a pity!"
"You don't understand, so I won't explain it to you. You'd better explain it clearly to your father and the powerful officials in the court, or the consequences will be severe!"
Prince Xue Xing waved his hand and said in the end that he was too exhausted to argue with Xue Qinghe.
He realized that Xue Qinghe was determined to do what she wanted and wouldn't listen to advice as trivial as everyday matters.
Therefore, Prince Xue Xing had no intention of arguing with the clueless Xue Qinghe.
"Okay, Uncle, you've had a long trip!"
"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'm willing to take full responsibility!"
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!"
Xue Qinghe didn't want to stay any longer and said goodbye in the end.
"Go, go!"
Prince Xue Xing waved his hand and said.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Qinghe left.
"Uncle, how could I not know how rare and precious the Jade Scale Dog Spirit Bone Set is!"
"It was thrown out by my teacher Du Bai to fry fish. If our Heaven Dou Imperial Family were to keep this set of Soul Bone!"
"When the Spirit Bone Set disappears into thin air, I can't imagine how the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will explain this to the Upper Three Sects: the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"With the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire on the outside, and the Heaven Dou Empire at odds with the Upper Three Sects, it is doomed!"
"I do these things for the good of our Heaven Dou Empire. If you can't understand, I don't blame you!"
"After all, sometimes, some people, for the sake of the greater good, are destined to silently endure loneliness and solitude."
On the way, Xue Qinghe thought to himself.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. I'd better go find Patriarch Taino and Brother Ye Chen and have some fun for a few days to avoid the storm!"
"Once the Spirit Bone Set disappears, it will be the Clear Sky Sect that's worried, not me!"
Xue Qinghe thought to himself, then quickly headed towards the location of the Strength Clan's residence in the south of Heaven Dou City.
Xue Qinghe was Du Bai's student, and the Strength Clan were Du Bai's subordinates.
Therefore, Xue Qinghe and the Strength Clan are very close and intimate!
On the way, Xue Qinghe disguised himself and made a low profile!
And within the Strength Clan.
At this time, the Old Titan and the Patriarch Taino were reorganizing the family.
With the auction concluded, the matter of the Advertisement Paper has come to an end.
Therefore, the Old Titan and the Patriarch Taino began to reward those who had contributed to the family, in order to strengthen the family's cohesion.
At the same time, they also instilled the concept of loyalty to the Young Master Du Bai and so on in the family.
Goodnight, everyone! Good afternoon! Good morning! Tomorrow's Friday!! Have a happy day!
