Xue Qinghe found something increasingly amiss. Wasn't the fourth brother in this story just like Xue Beng in his current state? He started pretending to be a playboy after his other brothers died to deceive himself.
They were just waiting for the day when they could seize the throne with overwhelming force.
Xue Qinghe clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with both lingering fear and anticipation. If the fourth brother in the story really Xue Beng, Qian Renxue dared not even imagine what the consequences would be.
Xue Qinghe read the two short stories again and had a guess in his mind: someone was using this method to remind him.
Is the first short story hinting at a palace coup? But eight hundred people? Could that really work?
The second short story serves as a reminder not to be misled by appearances; what you see may not be the whole truth.
Xue Qinghe's gaze turned cold, and he spoke in an icy tone, "Uncle Pufferfish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man clad in golden armor suddenly appeared behind Xue Qinghe, "Young Master!"
"Uncle Pufferfish, you go and keep an eye on the Xue Beng yourself. I need to know everything about it for the next few days—where it went, what it ate!"
Xue Qinghe gripped the paper tightly in his hand, his heart filled with murderous intent. If Xue Beng was just faking madness like the fourth brother in the story, then he wouldn't have to see the sun rise the next day.
The undercover operation cannot afford any losses!
"Young Master, he's a complete incompetent fool! He's utterly useless..."
The Pufferfish felt it wasn't necessary, but before it could finish speaking, Xue Qinghe gave a soft "hmm," and the Pufferfish immediately shut up.
"I understand!" The Pufferfish bowed and withdrew.
After the Pufferfish left, Snake Lance Douluo came out again. Looking in the direction the Pufferfish had gone, Snake Lance looked curiously at Xue Qinghe.
"Young Master, why are you suddenly focusing on the school collapse?"
Xue Qinghe didn't speak but handed over the paper in his hand. Snake Lance took it and looked at it with a puzzled expression.
After reading the contents, he was momentarily stunned. Then he remembered that Qian Renxue had just asked the Pufferfish to keep an eye on the Xue Beng. Snake Lance glanced at the fourth brother's story again.
A sudden chill ran through me. It was so similar, so incredibly similar. The plot and what they were doing now were almost identical, if not exactly the same.
"Young Master, where did this come from?" Snake Lance asked in astonishment.
Xue Qinghe shook his head. "It was delivered by that little monkey from earlier. I don't know who's behind it."
Xue Qinghe paused, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. "However! This person is capable of reminding me in this way; he must be a great talent. If we can subdue him, our Spirit Hall's unification of the continent will be much easier."
Snake Lance glanced at the paper in his hand again. He also thought it made sense. The messenger was a cautious person, and he actually thought of such a clever way to remind him.
Unless you experienced it firsthand, you simply won't understand the key points in these two short stories.
"Young Master, should I investigate this person's identity?" Snake Lance asked.
"No need. The fact that he came to remind me means he has feelings for me. If I disturb him rashly, it will only make him feel disgusted."
Perhaps these two stories are his tests for me; once I pass them, he will naturally come out to see me.
Xue Qinghe shook her head, looking at the sky with a smile on her lips. She was increasingly looking forward to meeting the messenger.
With such a talented person assisting us, how can the Spirit Hall not prosper!
Lu Yu didn't care what Qian Renxue was thinking. He started wandering around the city and spent two Gold Soul Coin to find out where Dugu Bo lived.
When he arrived at the Dugu Manor, he discovered that Dugu Bo had not returned for a long time. He figured that Dugu Bo must have been suffering from the backlash of the poison again and was currently healing at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Lu Yu chuckled and led Zhu Zhuqing and Yue Li to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If they couldn't find Dugu Bo, they could find Dugu Yan!
Ning Rongrong had already run away while Lu Yu was out. Lu Yu had told Yue Li that Ning Rongrong could leave whenever she wanted and that they shouldn't worry about her.
"Who goes there? This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; outsiders are not allowed to enter!"
Outside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, two armored guards stopped Lu Yu and his two companions.
"We're here to enroll. Please announce our arrival." Lu Yu said with a faint smile, tossing out two Gold Soul Coin.
The two security guards appeared to be well-dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, and their generosity was so great that no one dared to offend them.
"Wait here!"
After saying that, one of the gatekeepers turned and entered the academy.
Not long after, the gatekeeper led out a refined middle-aged man. The refined man glanced at Lu Yu and the other two, and was also very curious about who the newcomers were. He was also captivated by Yue Li's charming appearance.
"Hello, my name is Li Ming, and I am the Director of Academic Affairs at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. May I ask what brings you here?"
Li Ming calmed himself down and tried his best to avoid looking at Yue Li. She was too beautiful; he was afraid he would lose control if he looked at her any longer.
"Hello Director Li! We'd like to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but we'd like to know where the entrance exam is held," Lu Yu said with a smile, explaining their purpose.
"I see. Then please come in with me!" Li Ming nodded, gesturing for the three of them to follow him inside.
After arriving at the office, Li Ming sat behind his desk, took out three forms, and looked at Lu Yu and the other two.
"Tell me your basic information: name, Martial Soul, age, and Soul Power Level!"
" Lu Yu, Martial Soul Lingming Stone Monkey, 13 years old, Level 41 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master!" As he spoke, circles of White Soul Ring appeared above his head.
Li Ming's hand holding the pen suddenly paused. He looked up at Lu Yu in disbelief, then froze when he saw the four White Soul Ring around Lu Yu's body.
13 years old? Level 41? Four white rings?
Li Ming was initially shocked that Lu Yu was Four-Ring Soul Ancestor at the young age of 13, but when he saw the four White Soul Ring on Lu Yu's body, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
What could he say?
Li Ming swallowed hard and looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
" Zhu Zhuqing, Martial Soul Hell Spirit Cat, 12 years old, Level 30 Agility Attack System Battle Spirit Master."
Similarly, as Zhu Zhuqing introduced the two Yellow Soul Ring that descended from above her head.
Looking at the two normal-colored Soul Ring on Zhu Zhuqing's body, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these were normal.
After filling in Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing's identity information, Li Ming looked up at Yue Li again.
Yue Li winked at Li Ming, Li Ming felt a dryness in his throat and subconsciously swallowed.
Yue Li's melodious and charming voice rang out.
" Yue Li, Martial Soul Illusory Moon Fox, Level 94 Titled Douluo!"
A massive surge of spiritual energy instantly spread out, filling the entire office and making it difficult for Li Ming to breathe.
The first eight were normal Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring Soul Ring Configuration, yellow Li Ming, purple, black...
Luckily he was sitting down, otherwise he would have fallen flat on his backside.
Of course, these were all conjured by Yue Li using her mental power. Apart from her mental power, Yue Li's actual combat strength was not even as good as that of a Soul Saint.
"A Titled Douluo..."
Li Ming was trembling all over. After a while, Li Ming finally scrambled out of the office and ran towards the Education Commission office.
