Xue Qinghe Lies

Xue Qinghe looked into the room and found that the people standing inside were all familiar and awe-inspiring faces. He was immediately stunned, as if struck by lightning.

"Father, Uncle Xue Xing, Sect Master Ning, Sect Master Yu Dugu, Uncle Dugu, His Douluo Your Excellency, His Douluo Your Excellency, and important ministers of the court..."

Xue Qinghe was completely stunned. His brain seemed to have stopped working, like a malfunctioning machine, and he stared blankly ahead.

Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, and the others, who were originally focused on the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin, were also startled by the sudden sound of the door being broken down, and their eyes all turned to the doorway.

And so, Xue Qinghe, Ye Chen, Xue Ye, and the others looked at each other.

"Ah! Father! Uncles!"

What are you doing here!

Xue Qinghe tried to compose himself and spoke, but his voice still trembled slightly.

Ye Chen, standing to the side, lowered his head, not daring to look at the big shots in front of him.

"Hmph! You still have the nerve to ask how we got here!"

"Xue Qinghe!"

"Where did you go at this crucial moment? We couldn't find a trace of you. It's outrageous! You don't act like a prince at all!"

Xue Ye glared at Xue Qinghe.

The princes, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince watched their eldest brother with schadenfreude.

As for Ning Fengzhi, Yu Yuanzhen, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and others, they did not want to interfere in Xue Ye's family affairs, so they listened quietly from the side.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's mind raced as if he had been injected with Blood One, and he began to think frantically.

After a brief two breaths.

Xue Qinghe immediately decided on his words.

"Replying to Father Emperor, I just acquired my sixth Soul Ring these past two days and am currently consolidating my cultivation!"

"During the day, I also practiced like crazy to prepare for the next autumn imperial examination!"

"Because I've been training like crazy during the day, I sleep like a log at night!"

"When this Ferocious Beast suddenly appeared, I immediately ran to the palace to assemble, but I didn't see you, Father!"

"So I ran over here again, intending to occupy a tall building first, observe this Ferocious Beast, and find an opportunity to reunite with my father!"

"As it turns out, I didn't know that the tall building I chose was the very place where my father and uncles were staying!"

"This is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for without even looking for it, only to have it come to you effortlessly..."

"If I have offended you in any way just now, please forgive me, Father and Uncle..."

Xue Qinghe spoke, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

As Xue Qinghe spoke, he resumed his refined and scholarly demeanor.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's expression softened considerably.

Many ministers were also fooled by Xue Qinghe's words.

However, Duke Ye narrowed his eyes and knew that this matter was not simple.

Because Duke Ye saw his grandson standing next to Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe and Ye Chen are never doing anything serious when they're together; they're definitely indulging in romance and pleasure!

This is what Duke Ye truly thinks.

However, Duke Ye did not say it aloud.

The occasion was unusual; important figures were everywhere.

Therefore, Xue Ye only said a few words and did not actually get angry.

"Qinghe, since that's the case, this Clear Wind Manor is a residence under your name. What do you have to say about this Ferocious Beast appearing here?"

Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe and asked.

While asking the questions, Xue Ye was also carefully observing Xue Qinghe's expression.

Fortunately, Xue Qinghe had already mentally Simulation similar problems countless times before.

"Reporting to Father Emperor, I have already sold the Clear Wind Manor!"

"At first I thought the buyer was just a young person from a relatively wealthy family!"

"Later, at the Heaven Dou Auction House, I discovered that the wealthy young man was actually the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall..."

"I know nothing about what happened after that, what's happening now!"

Xue Qinghe replied with a serious expression, making it impossible to discern any problem.

Xue Qinghe is Du Bai's apprentice, and this matter cannot be exposed yet.

Otherwise, Xue Qinghe would have been severely beaten by his father, Xue Ye, and might even have had his prince status revoked.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye nodded.

What Xue Qinghe said was exactly the same as what the Second Prince had investigated.

Furthermore, Xue Ye observed Xue Qinghe's expression and found no change whatsoever.

Therefore, Xue Ye believed Xue Qinghe's words.

"I see!"

"Stay here and learn and observe more!"

"Young people shouldn't be so impulsive, frivolous, and impatient!"

The Xue Ye instructed.

"Yes, I understand!"

Xue Qinghe replied with a dutiful and respectful expression.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Qinghe pulled Ye Chen to where the younger generation was standing.

The group returned to the window to observe the situation outside.

Some ministers standing nearby were secretly speculating about the conversation between Xue Ye and the eldest prince. They realized that Xue Ye valued his son Xue Qinghe highly and had the idea of entrusting him with the throne.

The ministers who had caught this information knew even better which prince they should side with from now on!

Meanwhile, inside the mansion of the Strength Clan.

At this moment, the Clan Leader of the four clans— the Strength Clan, the Speed Clan, the Defense Clan, and the Breaking Clan— are gathered together to discuss the matter of the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin.

The residence of the Strength Clan is relatively close to the Clear Wind Manor.

Therefore, the four Clan Leader and all the clan members heard the great roar that the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin made when it took off.

Afterwards, the Nine-Headed Fire Qilin took to the sky and became incredibly huge, now visible to everyone in Heaven Dou City.

"I've already gone to investigate the Old Goat, the Old Ox, and the Old Ape!"

"The Ferocious Beast appeared directly above Clear Wind Manor!"

"Now, half of the entire Clear Wind Manor has collapsed, leaving a scene of utter devastation!"

"I also saw the Young Mistress. She was with two beautiful housekeepers, and a group of servants were around her, taking refuge!"

"As for Young Master Du, he stood on a pile of ruins, motionless."

"However, there is a layer of golden light flowing around Young Master Du's body, like Gold Soul Coin, forming a protective shield. Something seems wrong!"

"As for that Ferocious Beast, it has nine heads, an extremely large body, and a ferocious appearance. I'm afraid only Titled Douluo could fight it!"

"However, this Nine-Headed Fierce Beast doesn't seem to pose any danger at the moment. It's just standing high in the sky and doesn't appear to be attacking!"

The Old White Bird Bai He described all the scenes it had observed.

Bai He is the Clan Leader of the Speed Clan, one of the Four Great Families. His Martial Soul is the Sharp-tailed Swallow, and he excels at flying and reconnaissance!

"What?! That Nine-Headed Fierce Beast actually destroyed Young Master Du's residence?!"

Upon hearing this, the Old Ape Tai Tan immediately stood up and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it's strange, all the surrounding buildings are fine, only Clear Wind Manor was destroyed!"

The Old White Bird, the Bai He, replied truthfully.

Good evening, everyone! Good afternoon! Good morning! Wishing you all happiness and success!
