Xue Xing Teaches His Nephew

Yuan Qi's origins are mysterious, and it is highly probable that he belongs to the God Clan. Furthermore, he bears the Sun God Trial; he was able to hold off a berserk Bibi Dong over a decade ago, and now, with more than ten years passed, his strength must have grown even more formidable.

Last night, in that small alley, his Sun Martial Soul possessed only a single hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. Qian Renxue does not know why this is.

But being different from ordinary people only serves to highlight his power!

Yes, as the authenticity rate of the character Yuan Qi increases, Qian Renxue has gradually "recalled" scenes of her time spent with him. In her view, Yuan Qi is definitely one of her own, and since he is one of her own, she is full of confidence in him.

That Xue Hen merely possesses Twin Martial Souls and innate level ten soul power, yet he was able to become a Super Douluo in his early twenties. Yuan Qi possesses innate level twenty soul power and is older than him, so he must be even stronger.

Perhaps he is already a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo, just like her grandfather!

"I am going to see Emperor Xue Ye. As for writing to Grandfather, let me think about it a bit more. Two uncles, please help me search for Yuan Qi's whereabouts in the city. If we can find him, our mission will become much simpler," Qian Renxue said to Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo.

She still needs to think about it; the Young Master is still concerned that Bibi Dong is her biological mother.

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo exchanged glances, both seeing the meaning in the other's eyes. They felt somewhat helpless, yet they could understand. The two then said to Qian Renxue, "Understood, Young Master."

"Mm, I know... this is somewhat of a grievance for you two uncles, but please rest assured, I will definitely give you both an explanation. I will never let the things on the Sky Screen come to pass," Qian Renxue promised them.

Hearing this, the two smiled, "Young Master need not be like this; we understand."

"Mm." Qian Renxue gave them a knowing smile, then adjusted her emotions, walked out of the study, and went to meet the attendant sent by Emperor Xue Ye to accompany her to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Not long after, inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

The roar of Emperor Xue Ye echoed through the grand hall.

"Useless! I thought you were different from Xue Beng, but I didn't expect you to be such a good-for-nothing. I had already paved the way for you; you only needed to follow the steps to gain Hen'er's favor and then persuade him to return to the family. But look at you—not only did you fail to build a good relationship with him, you even earned his disgust! How could I have a son as stupid as a pig like you?!"

Qian Renxue was pointed at and berated by Emperor Xue Ye. This made her, naturally arrogant, feel extremely displeased. However, considering the big picture, she endured it, lowered her head, and admitted her fault to Emperor Xue Ye, "It is all this child's incompetence. Please, Father Emperor, forgive me."

"Forgive you? How do you expect me to forgive you? After all these years, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family finally produced a clansman who awakened the Emerald Swan Martial Soul, and he is gifted with extraordinary talent, becoming a Super Douluo at such a young age. He should have been the pillar of our imperial family, yet because of you, he is even more resistant to the family. How do you expect me to spare you?" Emperor Xue Ye roared.

Qian Renxue: "..."

He was abandoned by you and Kundera long ago. Even without me, he might not have returned to the Xue family. Why are you making it sound like it's all my fault? Where is your shame? Can't you reflect on yourself?

"You, you have disappointed me too much. Get out, get out of here, go back to your Crown Prince's Mansion and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. Get out!"

"This child takes her leave. Please, Father Emperor, take care of your health," Qian Renxue said, "hurriedly" bowing.

"Get out!" Emperor Xue Ye shouted, waving his hand in anger.

"Yes." Qian Renxue replied "panicked," then slowly retreated.

After she left, Emperor Xue Ye's anger had not yet subsided. He smashed the vases and tables in the hall, cursing as he did so, "I have been wise my whole life; how could I have two such useless sons? Heavens, why do you treat me this way?"

A long time later, having finished venting, he walked to the steps and sat down directly, looking toward the direction of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, muttering, "Xue Beng... I hope that with Prince Xue Xing taking him there, he can win some of Hen'er's favor."

Although he said that, Xue Beng is unruly; he was already taught a lesson by Xue Hen when he bullied the commoners before. Can Xue Hen have any good feelings for him?

Xue Ye felt it was basically impossible.

"Sigh, oh vast heavens, why are you so unkind to me?" Emperor Xue Ye lamented.

Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Xue Beng, wrapped in bandages, sat on the sofa. Prince Xue Xing sat opposite him, telling him what had happened at the Martial Soul Holy Temple today, making him further understand Xue Hen's power and his importance to the imperial family.

Then, Prince Xue Xing began to teach him what to say and do when he met Xue Hen, and how to dispel his disgust.

Actually, the method is very simple: sincerity!

"Sincerity?" Xue Beng was stunned.

"Yes, sincerity. That child Xue Hen was driven out of the palace by Kundera at a young age. He has braved the elements alone, tasted the warmth and cold of human relationships, and grown into the Super Douluo he is today. What tricks has he not seen? For him, the best way to get along is sincerity!"

Prince Xue Xing instructed Xue Beng, "He hurt you back then because he saw you bullying the commoners. You must explain to him why you did that at the time."

"Wait, Uncle, wouldn't that just be telling him that Xue Qinghe..."

"Yes, that is exactly what you must tell him—that you did so to numb Xue Qinghe, to make him think you are just a good-for-nothing, dissolute prince who poses no threat to his position as Crown Prince. You did all of this for self-preservation. Xue Hen was born into the Balaque Royal Family; he was bullied by Kundera's favorite concubine and young son in his youth, and was even driven out of the palace in the end. Having had such experiences, he knows the dark things within royal families, so he will understand you."

"Not only that, upon learning that Xue Qinghe is suspected of harming his brothers to seize the throne, Xue Hen will also feel disgust toward him, because he himself is someone who was harmed by his own brothers. He will also, in turn, feel sympathy for you. Afterward, if you visit him more often, get close to him, and ask for his advice when you encounter things you don't understand—not asking him to do anything, just asking more questions and talking more—then, through this back and forth, he will eventually develop a sense of closeness toward you."

"After all, you are, at the end of the day, cousins by blood."

Prince Xue Xing pointed the way for Xue Beng bit by bit.

After hearing Prince Xue Xing's words, Xue Beng suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "I understand. Don't worry, Royal Uncle, I will do as you say."

"Mm, first build the relationship. If you can successfully persuade that child Xue Hen to return to the imperial family in the future, not only will the imperial family gain a Super Douluo, but you will also be able to rely on him to avoid the threat from Xue Qinghe, and perhaps... it might not be impossible to take back that throne of the Crown Prince!" Prince Xue Xing nodded and said.

"This nephew will definitely work hard!" Xue Beng replied with a solemn expression.
