The Reclusive Super Douluo Senior?

"Qinghe... Qinghe, what exactly happened? And you... what happened to you?" Several Soul Saint knight captains supported Xue Ye as he approached. Seeing "Xue Qinghe" standing before him unharmed, Xue Ye could not restrain his excitement, but when he saw Lin Xiao, he was filled with confusion.

If this mysterious Title Douluo was not an assassin, then who was he? He could not possibly be his son Xue Qinghe's follower, could he?!

"Father, this was all a misunderstanding. I never expected it to cause such a huge commotion." Looking at Xue Ye's worried expression, "Xue Qinghe" spoke with a bitter look on her face.

"Qinghe, explain this to me. What exactly happened? And why is this mysterious Title Douluo in your residence, even injuring your guards?" Xue Ye asked with a puzzled expression and a deep voice.

Xue Ye nodded without saying anything further, quietly waiting for "Xue Qinghe's" explanation. He needed an explanation. The Royal Knights needed an explanation. The soldiers of Heaven Dou City needed an explanation. The people of Heaven Dou City needed an explanation.

"Father, this is what happened." "Xue Qinghe" patiently explained, laying out the entire sequence of events.

Upon hearing this, the three Education Committee Members and the commander of the Royal Knights were all stunned, unable to believe that such a Super Douluo powerhouse had chosen to join the Heaven Dou Empire. It was simply earth-shattering!

"So, Qinghe, this is the senior you encountered in Star Dou Forest all those years ago? He agreed to join the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"And he is willing to become a consecrated elder of the Heaven Dou Empire and serve the Heaven Dou Empire?" Xue Ye nodded, his expression immediately becoming excited.

When he looked at Lin Xiao again, his gaze had turned serious and respectful. This was a Super Douluo, a Soul Master standing at the very pinnacle of the continent, and he had now come to Heaven Dou City to fulfill the promise he had made back then.

"You may understand it that way, Father. However, since this senior had only just arrived, he wanted to test the defensive strength of your son's residence. Unfortunately, the senior was very disappointed." With a bitter expression, "Xue Qinghe" lightly shook her head as she looked at her father, Xue Ye.

When they had learned in the room that Xue Ye had been alerted, they had already decided on their response. They would reveal themselves directly to Xue Ye. Lin Xiao had never appeared on the continent before, so there was no need to worry that his true identity would be exposed.

And because Xue Ye had arrived without warning, the identity she arranged for Lin Xiao was that of a reclusive Super Douluo senior.

"So that was it. So that was it... Douluo Continent truly has hidden dragons and crouching tigers. It is beyond imagination," Xue Ye sighed. He had not expected there to be places on Douluo Continent that even their two great empires had never set foot in.

But when he thought of this Super Douluo senior soon serving the Heaven Dou Empire, what had just happened no longer seemed important. No matter how great the disturbance was, could it compare to the service of a Super Douluo?

Xue Ye understood what mattered more and what mattered less very clearly. After all, he was the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Very quickly, he grasped the entire situation and looked at Lin Xiao with a smile.

It was unimaginable that the Heaven Dou Empire was about to gain the service of this Super Douluo, whose soul ring configuration completely surpassed the configuration recognized by the Soul Master world as the best.

"I have matters to discuss with Qinghe and this reclusive senior. You may all leave first. I trust that you can handle this matter properly," Xue Ye said, sweeping his gaze over the three Education Committee Members and the commander of the Royal Knights.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the three Education Committee Members and the commander of the Royal Knights replied in unison.

The reversal had come so quickly that they had not quite reacted yet. This Title Douluo before them was not their enemy, but rather a follower of their Crown Prince.

"Senior, shall we enter Qinghe's residence to speak?" Xue Ye said with a smile, the corners of his lips lifting slightly. A Super Douluo—the Heaven Dou Empire would soon have a Super Douluo as well!

Although the Heaven Dou Empire was vast, with a million troops and Soul Master legions, it did not have many powerful Soul Masters. There were a few Soul Douluo-level Soul Masters, but not a single Title Douluo. This was disadvantageous for the Heaven Dou Empire.

But now, this weakness was about to be remedied.

Lin Xiao smiled faintly, cupped his hands toward Xue Ye, and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, I do not deserve to be called senior. If possible, Your Majesty may simply call me Lin Xiao."

Both Lin Xiao and Xue Ye chose to directly overlook what had happened earlier. Compared to that matter, the matter before them was clearly more important.

"Hahaha!" Xue Ye laughed heartily. "Since senior does not like that form of address, then I shall call you Lin Xiao."

To Xue Ye, although Lin Xiao had not revealed his age, looking at his youthful appearance made calling him senior feel awkward no matter how he said it. Lin Xiao could see that as well, so it was better to simply call him by his name.

Xue Ye, who had needed support moments ago, now appeared exceptionally spirited. His son, the future Heaven Dou Emperor "Xue Qinghe," was unharmed and standing whole before him, while the Heaven Dou Empire had also gained the service of a Super Douluo. It would have been difficult for him not to feel invigorated!

Xue Qinghe supported Xue Ye as the three of them walked through the main gates of the residence. Meanwhile, the three Education Committee Members and the commander of the Royal Knights instructed their men to begin lifting the alert throughout Heaven Dou City and arranged for the unconscious soldiers and Soul Masters to be awakened.

"Who would have thought? Who would have thought there would be such a reversal? Such a massive mobilization turned out to be a misunderstanding," the commander of the Royal Knights said with a bitter smile, shaking his head in amazement.

"Your Majesty, I never expected such a misunderstanding to arise. It was truly my own lack of consideration," Lin Xiao said apologetically, cupping his hands toward Xue Ye beside him.

Xue Ye lightly shook his head and said bitterly, "Lin Xiao, your intentions were good. I simply did not expect the defenses around the residence of the Heaven Dou heir apparent to be so weak. I fear they must have disappointed senior."

Lin Xiao sighed. "I was indeed somewhat disappointed. I have lived in seclusion for half my life. Many years ago, I happened to encounter His Highness Qinghe. In the end, I promised His Highness Qinghe that if I could break through to become a Super Douluo in this life, I would serve the Heaven Dou Empire."

"After arriving in Heaven Dou City, I saw that His Highness Qinghe's residence had seemingly decent defenses, so I wished to test them. They fell far short of expectations. The residence of the Heaven Dou heir apparent could not even withstand a Title Douluo." Lin Xiao clicked his tongue repeatedly.

Hearing this, Xue Ye sighed. "Lin Xiao, you may not know this. Perhaps because you have lived in seclusion, you are unaware that Title Douluo are actually quite rare. Even the Heaven Dou Imperial Family has no Title Douluo, so..."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly to show that he understood. Looking at the scene before her, "Xue Qinghe" could not help but praise him inwardly. My Brother Lin Xiao really is an expert at acting!
