Ch. 50Prince Xue Xing
Dugu Bo ordered Prince Xue Xing to secure a prominent site in Heaven Dou City and prepare it as a residence for a powerful, unnamed figure. Prince Xue Xing agreed to complete the land transfer and begin reconstruction within a day and a half, frightened by Dugu Bo’s warning not to ask who had given the order.
- Xue Qinghe ordered She Long to keep their people low-profile, especially near Sunset Forest, until the identities of the three uninvited guests were known.
- Dugu Bo visited Prince Xue Xing at his mansion and demanded a spacious, quiet plot near the imperial palace, including the abandoned properties behind it.
- Prince Xue Xing asked whether the land was wanted by the three lords from Sunset Forest, and Dugu Bo suppressed him with his killing intent and warned him not to pry.
- Prince Xue Xing promised to deliver the land deeds within a day and a half and begin demolition and reconstruction immediately.
- Dugu Bo warned Prince Xue Xing that failure would bring consequences even he might not be able to prevent.
