Nuclear Domination From Douluo: Part 34

"My lord, His Highness went to the palace. He'll probably be back in about half an hour."

The guard replied respectfully.

After all, they had personally seen His Highness carry this man back last time.

He also had His Highness's token on his wrist, so they had no choice but to take him seriously.

"Arrange a room for my sister. Have two maids give her a bath, and get her something to eat while you're at it."

Tang Dongfeng did not stand on ceremony, treating the Prince's Mansion as though it were his own backyard.

"Yes."

The guard did not ask any questions and left directly.

Before long, Gu Yuena was taken away to bathe.

Meanwhile, Tang Dongfeng and Ning Rongrong sat beside the lotus pond, leisurely drinking tea.

"Brother Dongfeng, I feel like you treat Brother Xue very differently. Why is that?"

Ning Rongrong had been pondering the issue all along the way. Why was there such a huge difference between how he treated her and Xue Qinghe?

She had been there when Xue Qinghe hosted Tang Dongfeng at a banquet!

And this time, when Xue Qinghe sent the severely injured Tang Dongfeng to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for treatment, she had heard about it from her father as well.

Not only did Tang Dongfeng treat Xue Qinghe differently, but Xue Qinghe was also extremely indulgent toward him.

"Do you really want to know?"

Tang Dongfeng asked solemnly.

"Mm."

Ning Rongrong was desperate to know.

Her father had said that when making friends, one had to cater to their preferences.

First, she had to understand what the other person liked and disliked.

Only by knowing herself and her enemy could she correctly understand her place in the other person's heart.

"Of course... because I like him!"

Just as Tang Dongfeng finished speaking, Xue Qinghe strode in from outside.

Who knew whether he had heard it.

Chapter 32: Xue Qinghe's Tea Talk

"Brother Dongfeng, you must be joking."

Xue Qinghe stumbled and nearly fell flat on his face.

Even with her strength, Tang Dongfeng's shocking words gave her quite a scare.

After all, her current appearance was that of a man.

If Tang Dongfeng was an old gay, things would be rather troublesome.

She had no experience dealing with people who were not quite normal.

"Brother Xue, you're finally back. While you were gone, Tang Dongfeng kept bullying me."

Ning Rongrong hurriedly jogged over to Xue Qinghe, hugged his arm, and began acting spoiled.

Since she could not do anything to Tang Dongfeng, she would let Xue Qinghe teach him a lesson.

"Rong Rong, it's rare to see you have time to come play at Brother Xue's home."

Xue Qinghe looked warm and friendly on the surface, but behind the mask, she could not help sneering.

How could that old fox Ning Fengzhi possibly be willing to let Ning Rongrong become involved with her?

She was the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the future emperor of Heaven Dou.

Ning Fengzhi was her teacher, but that was all.

After all, Ning Fengzhi was still the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and did not want too many entanglements with the imperial family.

In the original story, after Xue Qinghe's plan was exposed, it was only because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect arrived in time with reinforcements that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was preserved.

And what happened afterward?

After Xue Beng ascended the throne, he fully supported the Tang Sect. The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect existed in name only and had practically become a vassal of the Tang Sect.

Thinking about it that way, it would have been better to help Xue Qinghe rebel. At least then, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could have preserved itself.

"Brother Xue, I want to come too, but I usually have school. When I'm on break and lying around at home, I don't want to move at all."

Ning Rongrong vaguely brushed the matter aside.

Their topic should have been Tang Dongfeng.

"Your Brother Dongfeng will probably be staying here with me for a while. Come by often."

How could Xue Qinghe fail to understand?

Tang Dongfeng had returned openly to the Prince's Mansion and looked so relaxed.

That Sea Dragon Douluo had probably returned already.

She just did not know whether Tang Hao, that damned bastard, had been beaten to death.

"Hmph, you two really are in cahoots. Tang Dongfeng is awful. He insists on moving out of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ning Rongrong simply did not understand what was so good about the Prince's Mansion.

Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was rich enough to rival a nation, luxurious everywhere, and far more comfortable than the Prince's Mansion.

"Rong Rong, don't tell me Teacher sent you to win Brother Dongfeng over?"

Xue Qinghe teased Ning Rongrong, but sneered inwardly.

She had become friends with Tang Dongfeng through her own ability. She was not comparable to people like them, who approached him with ulterior motives.

When she first met him, she had no idea that Tang Dongfeng had a Super Douluo behind him.

Ning Fengzhi and the others had only befriended him to win over the Titled Douluo behind him. The feeling was completely different.

Besides, in Qian Renxue's eyes, Tang Dongfeng was more important than Sea Dragon Douluo.

Powerhouses like Titled Douluo might be very rare outside.

But did Spirit Hall lack them?

With a casual grab, they could produce more than a dozen Titled Douluo.

No matter how powerful Sea Dragon Douluo was, could he be stronger than her grandfather Qian Daoliu? Could he be more formidable than the Second Worship?

What Qian Renxue valued was that Tang Dongfeng had already obtained a god's inheritance before even reaching twelve.

That puzzled her greatly.

Judging by talent alone, Tang Dongfeng's talent was ordinary. At twelve, he would at most be level twenty-five.

With such talent, he was not even comparable to Ning Rongrong, much less someone like her with Innate Level Twenty.

Yet the Trident on Tang Dongfeng's forehead clearly carried the power of a god.

She had that power herself, and so did her grandfather and mother.

She possessed it because she had absorbed the spirit bone from the Angel Set.

Its Simulation Skill allowed her to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe, making even her figure and voice exactly the same.

"Brother Xue, what are you thinking about? Don't tell me you want to win me over too?"

Tang Dongfeng said, half-joking and half-serious.

He sat steady as a rock, waiting for Xue Qinghe to take the bait. He refused to believe that Xue Ye could resist the temptation of an unaffiliated Titled Douluo.

They had gone to great lengths to bind even someone like Dugu Bo to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Let alone an unaffiliated Super Douluo who was not recorded by Spirit Hall at all.

"Brother Dongfeng, since you've already guessed it, I'll be frank.

Originally, I wanted our friendship to remain free of anything involving benefits. But when I went to the palace today, Father gave me an important task.

He heard that I knew you and asked me to win over Sea Dragon Your Excellency behind you."

Xue Qinghe spoke with some difficulty.

She played her unwilling yet helpless state to perfection.

It had to be said that Qian Renxue's acting skills were superb, leaving almost no flaws to pick at.

"No! Tang Dongfeng is someone our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect noticed first."

Ning Rongrong quickly moved away from Xue Qinghe and returned to Tang Dongfeng's side.

This Crown Prince was a bad person too.

She had heard that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe thirsted for talent, was known for being approachable, and gave people the feeling of a spring breeze.

It was precisely because of that that he had recruited a group of ambitious people under him.

Before she left, Ning Fengzhi had told Ning Rongrong that Xue Qinghe would most likely try to win Tang Dongfeng over.

She had carelessly forgotten about that.

When Xue Qinghe sent Tang Dongfeng to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had been gambling that Sea Dragon Douluo would be fine.

The facts proved that it was not easy for a Super Douluo to come to harm.

Sea Dragon Douluo had returned as promised after only one day.

"Rong Rong, don't make trouble. Brother Dongfeng has his own choice. No matter what he chooses, I will respect his decision."

Xue Qinghe sat on another stone stool, and the three of them admired the flowers and drank tea beside the pond.

"Hmph."

Ning Rongrong snorted. This was another damn green tea expert, thoroughly skilled in tea talk.
