His Highness the Prince listened to his Old Ancestor and was completely dumbfounded.
### But he wasn't an idiot. He quickly sensed something was off.
### What happened in the Imperial Pool was probably even more complicated than I thought! he thought.
### Otherwise, why would his Old Ancestor ask right off the bat where Chu Huai Xu's corpse and the bead were?
### That meant his Old Ancestor thought Chu Huai Xu was already dead!
### Could it be that Old Ancestor personally attacked him in the Imperial Pool?
### And Chu Huai Xu still managed to escape death.
### On top of that, Old Ancestor may have paid a huge price. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly fallen asleep!
### The more Qin Xuanxiao thought about it, the more alarmed he became. The more he thought, the more terrifying it seemed.
### How could Chu Huai Xu, with only Third Realm cultivation, have accomplished such an impossible feat?!
### A storm surged through His Highness the Prince's heart.
### Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
### I must be getting something wrong!
### Ancestor Emperor was still somewhat weak. Seeing Qin Xuanxiao fall silent, he spoke with displeasure.
### "Xuanxiao, I asked you a question!" His authoritative voice rang in Qin Xuanxiao's mind, exploding in his Sea of Consciousness like a thunderclap.
### The mere junior of the Third Realm felt his Divine Soul shudder. His Sea of Consciousness trembled and throbbed with pain.
### Once the pain passed, he immediately stopped thinking and respectfully replied, while also fishing for information indirectly:
### "Old Ancestor, did you attack Chu Huai Xu in the Imperial Pool? But... he didn't die!"
### The next moment, Qin Xuanxiao's Sea of Consciousness trembled again.
### Ancestor Emperor's furious voice rang out, his Divine Sense surging outward.
