Deep Uncle-Nephew Affection, "Xue Qinghe"

None of the three forces made a move. Prince Xue Xing's face was ashen; he knew he was doomed.

As a prince, Xue Xing lived a life of luxury, with many wives and concubines. He hadn't enjoyed it enough and didn't want to die so soon. Unfortunately, it seemed that no one could save him now.

When a Titled Douluo completely disregards the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, what is a mere prince of the royal family?

In the end, this world is ruled by strength!

He could even foresee that even if he died here today, Xue Ye, though furious, would ultimately hold back his anger, because the old man in front of him was simply too strong, strong enough to severely injure Dugu Bo with a mere wave of his hand, and to seriously damage Meng Shenji and the other two Soul Douluo with a single aura.

Even Xue Ye was extremely wary of such strength!

Prince Xue Xing was filled with regret. He regretted that he had been the one to stick his neck out and provoke this young man, but it was too late for regrets now.

Long Xiaoyao's palm slowly descended, as if to let Prince Xue Xing experience more of the feeling of death slowly approaching.

You should know that dying is actually very simple, it only takes a moment, but the process of waiting for death is extremely difficult.

Lu Yuan glanced around, observing everyone's expressions, and couldn't help but tell himself again, "This really is a world where strength reigns supreme. As long as you have enough strength, you can do anything."

However, looking at Xue Xing not far away, Lu Yuan hesitated in his heart, wondering whether to kill Xue Xing or not.

There are benefits to both killing and not killing.

If he were to kill him, it would be tantamount to completely antagonizing the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. In that case, he would probably be unable to come to the Heaven Dou Imperial City again, and seeing Xue'er would become even more difficult. On the other hand, killing Prince Xue Xing would remove most of the obstacles for Xue'er, making the implementation of the plan much smoother.

If he is not killed, Prince Xue Xing will likely continue to oppose Xue'er. The advantage is that after today's events, Prince Xue Xing's standing in Xue Ye's eyes will likely decrease significantly, and Xue'er will gradually gain more power. Moreover, Xue'er can continue to roam freely in the Heaven Dou Imperial City. However, the benefits Xue'er will gain will certainly not be as great as those from killing Prince Xue Xing.

Even though Prince Xue Xing has lost power, his existence can still cause Xue'er some trouble.

So whether or not to kill Prince Xue Xing was still a difficult decision for Lu Yuan!

Because he really couldn't bear to be apart from Xue'er for a long time!

Do I have to sneak around every time I see Xue'er?

Just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.

Long Xiaoyao's hand was getting closer and closer to Prince Xue Xing's head. Just as Lu Yuan decided to kill Prince Xue Xing, a voice rang out. "Stop!"

The voice was clear and bright, suggesting the person was not very old.

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw a man dressed in a bright imperial robe with a handsome face. Although he was not as handsome as Lu Yuan, he still had a refined and elegant air about him.

"Who is he?" Some people were puzzled. How dare he save someone from the hands of that Dragon Emperor Douluo? Wasn't that a bit too audacious?

"Qinghe!" Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but speak as he watched Qian Renxue step forward. He was afraid that if that Dragon Emperor Douluo lost his temper, he might kill him too, which would be a huge mess and the Heaven Dou Empire would be thrown into chaos.

"Sword Uncle, if things go wrong, please intervene!" Ning Fengzhi said.

Sword Douluo nodded. It was fine if Prince Xue Xing died, but Xue Qinghe was the next heir to the throne of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and he couldn't be harmed.

"Qinghe?" Prince Xue Xing felt a mix of emotions upon hearing Qian Renxue's familiar voice. Why would Qinghe plead for him?

Thinking back on all this time, I've certainly made things difficult for him quite a bit!

Suddenly stopped, Long Xiaoyao glanced at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan nodded, and then Long Xiaoyao withdrew his hand.

"Young Master Yuan, is this Xue Qinghe?" Qian Renxue clasped her hands in a fist salute to Lu Yuan and said.

Looking at Qian Renxue who appeared in front of him, a strange look flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. What was Xue'er trying to do? How was she going to plead for Xue Xing?

However, since Xue'er took the initiative to come out, she must have her own plans. Well, I'll play along for now and see what she's thinking.

"Oh, so you are His Highness the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. I have heard of you. May I ask what Your Highness wishes to teach you?" Lu Yuan said casually, but his Double Pupils gave Qian Renxue a probing look.

"Qinghe has come here to ask Young Master Lu to be lenient and spare my royal uncle!" Qian Renxue said, giving Lu Yuan a subtle look.

Lu Yuan understood Qian Renxue's meaning; she was telling him not to kill Prince Xue Xing.

"Hehe!" Lu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Just now, this Prince Xue Xing swore that he wanted my life, so why should I let him go?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Qinghe apologizes to Young Master Lu on behalf of the Imperial Uncle. It was the Imperial Uncle's fault, and it was our Heaven Dou Royal Academy that was impolite. We beg Young Master Lu to be lenient. Our Heaven Dou Imperial Family is willing to provide compensation to Young Master Lu!"

"Hehe, Your Highness the Crown Prince is quite bold. Aren't you afraid of death?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Of course I'm afraid, but as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, how can Qinghe remain indifferent to the death of his own uncle in front of him?" Qian Renxue said, her face showing a look of fearlessness in the face of death.

What a touching scene of uncle and nephew affection!

Seeing Xue Qinghe's demeanor, everyone present couldn't help but nod in approval. This was the proper bearing of a crown prince!

Not only are they loyal and devoted, but they also remain unfazed when faced with the threat of death!

Watching Qian Renxue's performance, Lu Yuan smiled faintly to himself. Who did Xue'er learn her acting skills from? They're really convincing!

"However, Xue'er's words reminded me that Xue Xing cannot die, at least not in front of Xue'er, otherwise it will have a bad impact on her no matter what," Lu Yuan thought to himself.

Prince Xue Xing, standing to the side, also had a complicated expression. He hadn't expected his nephew to go to such lengths for him.

Perhaps it was all an act, but at least he stood up for himself!

That's already quite remarkable!

Although he may very well be the murderer of the second and third princes, at the very least he was a qualified candidate for the throne. He killed his own brothers for the sake of the throne, and there was no competition for the throne between them. He had never done anything to betray him.

Is it really right for me to continue to oppose him?

Is Xue Beng really comparable to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe?

Prince Xue Xing fell into deep thought.

"Ha! You, the Crown Prince, do have some manners, much better than this fat pig prince!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "You can take this fat pig's life, but I'm actually quite interested in something from your Heaven Dou Imperial Family. If you can give it to me, I might as well let this fat pig go!"
