Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 38 Xue Qinghe

Also entering with Xue Ye was the current crown prince Xue Qinghe.

She stood on the left rear side of the snowy night, observing everyone present calmly.

Everyone said in unison: "Welcome, Your Majesty."

Xue Ye nodded and said with a smile: "My dear ministers, there is no need to be polite. Tonight is a pre-celebration dinner for the Tiandou Royal Academy team. Let us wish them a victorious return."

"May the Tiandou Royal Team return victorious!" ×N.

Then everyone enjoyed the performance brought by Yuexuan.

With the end of Yuexuan's performance, Xue Ye left the venue on the pretext of being drunk, and gave Xue Qinghe some advice before leaving.

Tong Rui didn't hear it, but from the perspective of the banquet, it is not difficult to guess that it was to let him make more friends with nobles and powerful soul master families.

Seeing that Tong Rui had been paying attention to Xue Qinghe, Yu Tianheng said, "The Crown Prince has had a very good reputation in the empire over the years. Although his own strength is average, he has helped Emperor Xue Ye handle a lot of government affairs over the years."

"Well, she is indeed very capable." Tong Rui nodded.
Dugu Yan also interrupted the topic and whispered, "But this Crown Prince is not a simple person either. I heard my grandfather tell me to stay away from him."

"Is it because of the two sons of Emperor Xue Ye who died?" Although it was a question, Tong Rui said it in an affirmative tone.

"Oh, you know that too. But I don't know the details either. I only heard that the second prince was extremely intelligent and the third prince had a very high talent for cultivation. But they both died within two years."

"Well, it's not simple, and she's coming soon."

Tong Rui has been secretly keeping an eye on Xue Qinghe, and she has also been keeping an eye on this extremely talented young man.

What Tong Rui didn't know was that since he enrolled in Tiandou Royal Academy, his family's information had been placed on Xue Qinghe and Bibi Dong's desks.

Unlike that corner of Shrek, no one pays attention to it, so it can develop safely until before the big competition.

Every word and action in Tiandou Royal Academy will be watched by all parties, the only difference is the speed of action.

"Your Highness." Proper etiquette must be observed, and everyone stood up and saluted.

"No need to be so polite. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Xue." Xue Qinghe's gentle image did not change at all.

Without giving them room to refuse or maneuver, he continued, "I've heard from the education committee that Tiandou Royal Academy has produced a new batch of young talents this year. Seeing them today, they are indeed worthy of their reputation."

Xue Qinghe showed that he was just at level 41, so he deliberately said, "Speaking of which, Brother Tong Rui's cultivation speed is even faster than mine. I wonder if you can share some of your soul power cultivation experiences with me when you are free."

Tong Rui was about to refuse, but Xue Qinghe seemed to see through Tong Rui's thoughts and continued, "I heard that you like reading books. The Tiandou royal family has a lot of books that no academy has. I give you this token. If you have time to borrow books, just come to the palace to find me with this token."

Tong Rui no longer hesitated, took the token, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness. If I have time, I will definitely come to visit the palace."

There are only two kinds of dangers that can be encountered in the Tiandou Palace. One is to discover Xue Qinghe's plan, and the other is to discover the conspiracy between Xue Xing and Xue Beng.

The latter was relatively simple. Even if Dugu Bo was their backer, with his relationship with Dugu Bo, even if they were caught, they would just live in peace and pretend nothing happened. But Xue Qinghe was a bit troublesome, because he couldn't understand Qian Renxue's true character, so he had to take the risk of being accidentally tricked into revealing that she was Qian Renxue in disguise during the conversation.

He also had to be on guard against the possibility that Bibi Dong might order Qian Renxue to assassinate him in order to weaken the strength of the Tiandou Empire and prevent the next-level Soul Master Competition from failing to establish the prestige of Hu Liena and the other two.

Therefore, you must have enough power to protect yourself before entering the palace.

After Xue Qinghe left, everyone's minds became active. After all, with the precedent of the prince, it showed that Tong Rui and his group were not difficult to get along with.

So starting with the nearest group of people, more and more people moved towards this side.

These people tried every possible means to win over Tong Rui and his group, including offering gold soul coins, power, marriage and other methods. Tong Rui roughly calculated that the benefits promised by these nobles added up to be enough to buy a small city.

Basically, no one cared about these things, and even if they did, they were not worth working for. So after contacting several waves of people, Tong Rui found an excuse and left the venue.

After coming out to take a breath, he unknowingly walked into a garden. Seeing a pavilion not far in front of him, Tong Rui wanted to go over and rest.

However, he never expected to run into two people with powerful auras, standing respectfully in front of Xue Qinghe.

Tong Rui hurriedly wanted to go back, but the Titled Douluo was still extremely sensitive, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them appeared in front of Tong Rui.

Xue Qinghe came over from behind and was relieved to see that it was Tong Rui: "It turned out to be Brother Tong Rui, I wonder why you are here."

In Xue Qinghe's opinion, Tong Rui's life trajectory over the years did not show any trace of contact with the Imperial Palace or the Spirit Hall, so it was relatively easy to deceive him.

After all, if a genius like Tong Rui died at a dinner party held in his name, his companions would definitely trace it back to him. And it was night time, so it would be too easy for Tong Rui's martial spirit to cause some noise.

Tong Rui was relieved to see that Xue Qinghe did not choose to take action immediately. After all, the fact that they could still talk proved that he had no intention of harming him, so there was still room for everything.

"After you left, those nobles have been trying to win us over. I was really bored, so I just found an excuse to come out." Tong Rui pretended to complain to Xue Qinghe.

Because this complaint revealed a helpless tone, it invisibly brought the two people closer together. Women are emotional creatures, so Xue Qinghe waved her hand and let the two leave first.

Then he stood face to face with Tong Rui on the bridge and said, "If you feel bored, why not join the Tiandou royal family? That way no one will bother you."

"Haha, thank you for your kindness, Brother Xue. However, I am used to being free and not used to obeying other people's orders. I also plan to create a sect in the future and become a sect master for fun."

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Being a sect master is not necessarily easier than joining the Tiandou royal family. After becoming a sect master, you have to deal with a lot of things in the sect."

"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, find more people who can manage. I only need to be responsible for managing those who are in charge." Tong Rui replied with a smile.

"Hahahaha, I wish Brother Tong Rui success. But if anyone else bothers you, you can always come to the palace with the token to find me. As long as I have time, I can help you solve your problems."

"Well, it's a deal now. I'm very curious about the books in the Tiandou Palace, and I'll need your help when the time comes." Tong Rui looked into Xue Qinghe's eyes and said with a smile.
