Xue Qinghe's palms were clenched into fists, and there was evil in his eyes. He looked like he wanted to go to the Star Luo Empire, and he was aggressively asking for an explanation for Lin Hao.
Lin Hao asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"
Xue Qinghe said, "There is another thing. After my father heard that you were assassinated, he could not allow such a thing to happen again. The seventy knights behind me will be responsible for protecting your safety from now on."
"Oh." Lin Hao glanced at Prince Xue Xing.
Prince Xue Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, full of surprise.
"Father, I heard that you don't have a decent maid to serve you in your residence. You are the future pillar of our empire, so I specially reward you with four maids. They are all Spirit Master!"
"Thank you, father, for me." Lin Hao said in the same plain tone.
To others, it is a glorious thing to be rewarded by the emperor with maids and four beauties.
But for Lin Hao, he saw glory, and he also saw another layer of things. The glory was true, and at the same time, these four maids were very likely to become His Majesty Xue Ye's eyes and ears, keeping an eye on Lin Hao's every move.
Looking at the history of China, are there still few princes, generals and ministers who were gifted beauties by emperors?
If he were just a small person, the emperor would definitely not be like this. But Lin Hao is different. He is now Five-Ring Soul King. He is about to get Sixth Soul Ring.
"Cough cough cough!"
Lin Hao suddenly coughed.
Xue Qinghe asked, "Brother Lin Hao, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Hao said, "It's nothing serious. After the battle last night, those two guys were so vicious that they left some hidden wounds in their bodies. Just rest for a while and it will be fine."
"Secret injury?" Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then asked with concern, "This can't be delayed. Lin Hao Brother, I will go to the East Palace immediately and ask someone to check your body."
"No need. I'll go find Uncle Ye later." The Uncle Ye mentioned by Lin Hao refers to Ye Lingling's father Begonia Douluo.
"Okay." Begonia Douluo has extraordinary abilities. If even he can't take care of the injury, Xue Qinghe feels that those Healing System Spirit Master in the East Palace will have no other solution.
Xue Qinghe was sent away, and Prince Xue Xing also left immediately.
Prince Xue Xing privately gave thirty guards to Lin Hao. He needed to go to the palace immediately and make it clear to the emperor.
Lin Hao sent the four maids out to buy things. He also arranged the guards. Finally, he walked into the room.
Dugu Bo reached out and grabbed Lin Hao's wrist without waiting any longer, "Little Monster, there is nothing wrong with your body!"
Lin Hao smiled and said, "Old poisoner, until the end of the competition, please keep my secret. Lie to the public that I have been poisoned by a complex mixed poison."
"Why?" Dugu Bo paused and asked thoughtfully, "Is it because of the Star Luo Empire?"
Lin Hao shook his head.
"If it's not for the Star Luo Empire, then it's for the Spirit Hall?" Dugu Bo asked again.
Lin Hao nodded slightly.
There are only four people in the room. Xiao Wu, Lin Hao, Tang San and Dugu Bo.
Xiao Wu asked in confusion, "Why? Lin Hao, why do you want to deceive others like this?"
Lin Hao smiled.
Tang San said, "Brother is right to do this. If you are too sharp, it will do no good to you. It will only attract the ill will of the gangsters. I support you in pretending to be sick!"
Lin Hao still keeps smiling.
In fact, the reason why he pretended to be ill was not because he was afraid that others would continue to assassinate him.
His home already has a hundred royal guards. If others want to kill him, it will not be as easy as last time.
The reason for pretending to be sick is entirely for the Spirit Hall.
The reason is very simple. He wants Spirit Bone.
According to the development of the story line, Spirit Hall will change the venue of the final round of the competition. In addition, three Spirit Bone will be given out as a reward for the champion.
Lin Hao faced the joint assassination of one Soul Emperor and one Soul Sage. Not only did he not die, but he also killed one of them.
The elders in the Spirit Hall are not fools either. Lin Hao's combat power is so impressive, Spirit Hall is very likely to change this major storyline.
Therefore, if Lin Hao wants to get those three pieces of Spirit Bone, he must not only pretend to be ill, but also pretend to be seriously ill.
Only by making the elders of the Spirit Hall feel that the championship is still within their grasp, can Lin Hao have the opportunity to obtain three pieces of Spirit Bone openly through the competition.
Of course, these things are confidential. And they have not happened. Lin Hao knows that no matter how others ask, he cannot tell others his purpose.
"Old Poison, do me a favor and ask Prince Xue Xing to help me secretly investigate those two assassins, including the identities of the two people who took away Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er and Ye Lingling last night. Especially whether they are Spirit Master, and which Soul Master Academy school they studied at."
"Okay." Dugu Bo has joined Misty Cloud Sect and is Misty Cloud Sect's guest.
Lin Hao gave several poison formulas obtained from Xiao Yi Xian to Tang San and Dugu Bo.
Regarding Lin Hao's request, Dugu Bo agreed without any hesitation, turned around and left Lin Hao's room.
Lin Hao looked at Xiao Wu thinking and asked, "Xiao Wu, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Wu said, "I was thinking, Prince Xue Xing gave you thirty guards, and the emperor gave you seventy guards. What a coincidence, there are exactly one hundred."
Tang San shook his head, "There is no such coincidence. Such a coincidence can only mean that His Majesty Xue Ye already knew about it when Prince Xue Xing was given away. That's why such a thing happened. His Majesty Xue Ye was also beating Prince Xue Xing silently!"
Xiao Wu understood, "So that's it. The human world is really complicated!"
Tang San smiled and said, "The human world? Xiao Wu, are you saying this as if you are not a human being?"
Ugh!
Xiao Wu was startled.
Because Xiao Wu ate Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Tang San couldn't see through Xiao Wu's true identity.
Xiao Wu didn't expect that her words would almost reveal his identity. He rolled his eyes, raised his hands, and said angrily, "You said I'm not a human being, mistress, are you asking for a beating?"
"Master, Platinum Bishop Salas wants to see you!" The maid Little Red walked into Lin Hao's room.
"Let him in." Lin Hao said.
After a while, a rather thin old man walked into Lin Hao's room under the guidance of maid Little Red.
He is as lanky as a javelin, with narrow shoulders, and looks gaunt and strong. His face is old, his complexion is fair, he has a white goatee, and he has white hair. His eyes are small and usually slightly squinted, as if he is in a deep sleep, but his eyes hide deep calculations and sinister intentions.
Wearing a bright red luxurious robe and a five-pointed platinum crown on her head, this is the exclusive costume of the Spirit Hall Platinum Bishop.
Salas looked between Lin Hao and Tang San and asked, "Which one is Lin Hao?"
"I am!" Lin Hao took a step forward and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Salas said, "Lin Hao, I invite you to join Spirit Hall!"
