Qian Renxue's Idea

That way...

Everyone on Douluo Continent would know Lin Ye had accepted a favor from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. That would be the same as owing them an enormous debt of gratitude.

"Hmm..." Xue Ye asked, "Do any of you have a different opinion?"

What different opinion could they possibly have?

The ministers of the Heaven Dou Empire weren't fools.

They could all see that Qian Renxue's proposal was the answer Xue Ye had wanted.

Just then,

Qian Renxue took it a step further. "Leave this matter to me, Father."

"Good!"

"The crown prince will handle it."

Xue Ye's face broke into a smile.

This was exactly the outcome he had wanted.

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was certainly the Heaven Dou Empire's most precious national treasure.

But...

Lin Ye had dared to sneak into the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and steal it. He must have prepared for the worst.

Would that brat really return it so easily?

Besides...

Without any solid evidence, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would never get Lin Ye to admit he had stolen the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

"Yes!"

"I'll see to it at once."

With that, Qian Renxue bowed and took her leave.

"..."

Prince Xue Xing's face darkened at the sight. He nearly ground his teeth to pieces.

It wasn't just that Xue Ye had rejected his opinion.

More importantly, Xue Ye had entrusted Qian Renxue with giving the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Lin Ye.

That meant Xue Ye was already preparing to hand the empire's power to the crown prince.

If Qian Renxue pulled this off and won Lin Ye over to her camp,

Xue Beng, whom Prince Xue Xing supported, would have no chance of seizing power.

At that moment,

Prince Xue Xing was furious.

Worse, he felt powerless.
