Dugu Bo asked curiously, "Why go to the East Palace?"
Lin Hao said, "Go and have a chat with him."
"Chat? Dugu Bo felt a shiver in his heart. He secretly said that things are definitely not as simple as Lin Hao said, "Little Monster, I have to remind you. You just accepted Prince Xue Xing's favor and now go to the East Palace. You need to have a clear and clear position between the two."
"Do you need it?" Lin Hao asked.
"You are not a member of the imperial court, so you don't have to act. But your position needs to be clear. The moment you accept the benefits of Prince Xue Xing and the moment you accept the gift of His Majesty Xue Ye, you have already entered the game." Dugu Bo kindly reminded Lin Hao.
"Old poisoner, give me a message to Prince Xue Xing. If you believe in me, then believe me. If you don't believe me, then abandon me." Lin Hao said calmly.
Lin Hao doesn't care whether he will lose Prince Xue Xing's trust if he goes to the East Palace to find the prince.
He is determined to practice.
Either become the god of Douluo World, or become the Dou Di of Battle Through the Heavens World. He really doesn't care whether the princes, generals and ministers trust him.
After leaving home, Lin Hao went straight to the East Palace.
After Genius Exchange Tournament finished, Xue Qinghe gave Lin Hao a token on the spot. With the token given by Prince Xue Qinghe, Lin Hao could enter the East Palace without notification.
Under the leadership of others, Lin Hao came to the yard outside the study. After the maid informed, Lin Hao walked into the room.
When Xue Qinghe saw Lin Hao arriving, he put down the book in his hand, got up from the chair, walked to Lin Hao, and asked kindly, "Brother Lin Hao..."
Before Xue Qinghe could say anything, Lin Hao had already taken the initiative to greet him and put his hand on Xue Qinghe's shoulder.
Xue Qinghe was startled in his heart. In his daze, Lin Hao's arms exerted slight force, tightly holding Xue Qinghe's body against his.
A sudden scene caught Xue Qinghe off guard.
"Lin Hao, what are you..."
Xue Qinghe exerted slight force on his shoulders, trying to break away from Lin Hao's clutches. How could Lin Hao, who was well prepared, let Xue Qinghe get what he wanted.
Lin Hao's hands seemed to be welded, and they were firmly placed on Xue Qinghe's shoulders. Not only did he not break free, Lin Hao instead half-hug him forcefully.
"Your Highness, you call me brother. You won't look down on me and don't want to be like me, right?"
"Ugh!"
Xue Qinghe is certainly not happy.
But he couldn't say it.
Everyone knows that he is extremely friendly and does not put on the prince's airs. He calls him brother Lin Hao, so he can only follow Lin Hao's words and say, "You can treat me as your own brother!"
"Okay, it's refreshing enough. I like you for being such a refreshing and unpretentious person." Lin Hao praised.
Xue Qinghe smiled apologetically. Looking at Lin Hao's hand on his shoulder, he no longer resisted or broke away.
At the same time, I chuckled in my heart.
Not artificial?
Haha, he is not unpretentious. Everything that happened after Genius Exchange Tournament was planned by him. Until now, his "father" is still kept in the dark. Looking at Lin Hao, it seems that he is also grateful to him.
After selling the person, Lin Hao was still grateful to Xue Qinghe. Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe felt a strong sense of relief in his heart.
However, because of her gender, Xue Qinghe was still very resistant to Lin Hao's intimate behavior in her heart. As if she was being kicked out, she asked, "What do you want to see me for?"
The implication is, if you have nothing to do, just leave. I'm still busy.
Lin Hao saw through it without saying anything, and smiled calmly, "How old are you this year?"
"24!"
"I am fourteen this year, and you are ten years older than me. From now on, I will call you Brother Xue, but you can still call me Lin Hao brother, is that okay?"
"Okay."
"Brother Xue, what's your Soul Power Level?" Lin Hao said, groping for his "brother's" shoulders.
I don't know if it's due to the Imperial Family's environment or his true identity, but the touch is surprisingly good. It's as heart-pounding as holding Xiao Yi Xian's slim waist.
Xue Qinghe's heart trembled, and he turned his head to look at Lin Hao's damaged right hand. He couldn't bear it anymore. He exerted slight force on his shoulders and broke away from Lin Hao's clutches. Then he replied, "I am the prince, Soul Power Level is a secret."
"Oh?" Lin Hao pondered.
"Of course, you and I are brothers, and it is not appropriate for brothers to hide their secrets. My current Soul Power Level is level sixty-eight."
"Twenty-four years old, level 68."
"Well, my talent is average, and with the help of the Imperial Family, I was able to push my Soul Power Level to level 68 under the cultivation of resources. This is all due to the resources of the Imperial Family." Xue Qinghe said modestly.
As he said this, his eyes were very clear, and there was a touch of sadness on his face.
If it weren't for his mission and identity, with his unprecedented super Innate Full Soul Power, his cultivation level would definitely be more than level 68.
Over the years, because of his status, he deliberately abandoned his cultivation and suppressed Soul Power's improvement. Even so, his good father attached great importance to cultivating him, and had people send him precious cultivation resources from time to time.
If he didn't have a major mission, he could predict conservatively. With his talent, he could hit Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo at the age of twenty-four.
Lin Hao continued to ask, "You are not yet twenty-five years old. After the competition, you will not be twenty-five years old either. I don't understand why you don't participate in the continent-wide high-level Soul Master Academy elite competition and win glory for the country?"
As for the reason, Lin Hao obviously asked knowingly. How could one of his own family beat his own family members?
In response to Lin Hao's question, Xue Qinghe said, "Zang Feng!"
"Hide the front! Hide the clumsiness!" Lin Hao repeated.
"Yes, Zang Feng, Zang Zhuo." Xue Qinghe turned around, faced Lin Hao, looked directly at Lin Hao, and said very sincerely, "Brother Lin Hao, to tell you the truth, as a prince, I have seen too many smart, powerful and wealthy people, all in one night. There were things like imprisonment, death, and bankruptcy and return to poverty. My father also asked me the same question, hoping that I would participate in the competition and win glory for the country. It was me who took the initiative to decide to hide my strength and hide my weakness and give up the competition. So far, people outside do not know my true brother Soul Power Level. Lin Hao, and I hope you will keep it a secret for me!"
Lin Hao nodded.
Xue Qinghe felt a little happy. He brushed up Lin Hao's favorability score again. In his opinion, he was being honest with Lin Hao and fully trusted Lin Hao.
But Lin Hao also saw it. He only needed to ask Prince Xue Xing about these things, and he would definitely know the real Soul Power Level of Xue Qinghe. He knew that, and Xue Qinghe also knew it, so Xue Qinghe deliberately told these things to try to seduce his feelings.
See through, don't tell.
Lin Hao saw through Xue Qinghe's thoughts on the surface, but deliberately didn't say anything.
Xue Qinghe is hiding the edge and hiding the clumsiness. Lin Hao Isn't it hiding the wisdom?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has lived in the East Palace for a long time, has absolutely no idea that Xue Qinghe's rhetoric in front of His Majesty Xue Ye has been hidden from His Majesty Xue Ye, who has been kept in the dark until now, but it cannot be hidden from Lin Hao.
Xue Qinghe's real purpose of not participating in the competition is actually because he doesn't want his own people to beat his own people.
For this reason, Xue Qinghe was still secretly happy in his heart. He didn't use a penny, didn't need to be given any power, and only needed to use his words to gain a wave of trust and favorability of Lin Hao.
"Lin Hao Brother, do you have anything else to do?"
"Are you busy?"
"Just a little."
"Then it won't be very busy."
"Do you have something else to do?"
"It's nothing. I just want to discuss with you!"
