"Fourth... Fourth Prince, someone wants to see you."

Xue Beng frowned, somewhat displeased, and said, "Didn't you see I was preparing to receive a distinguished guest? Tell him to wait; I'm not seeing anyone right now."

"But...but...that person..."

The soldier was so frightened that he trembled and could barely speak. This enraged Xue Beng. He and his uncle had gone to great lengths to invite Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan here today, all to establish a connection with the Lord of the War God Temple and gain his support in ascending the throne.

Emperor Xue Ye's health is deteriorating day by day. If he doesn't make some preparations soon, Xue Qinghe might really go from being the crown prince to the emperor.

He had been pretending to be a playboy all along in order to become emperor. Now the situation in the world has changed too much. The two remaining sects of the former three upper sects have all joined the War God Hall, and the War God Hall is indeed worthy of being the strongest force in the world.

To stand out in this battle for the throne, one must make contact with the Temple of War! Although the Temple Master of the Temple of War once told Emperor Xueye that he would not get involved in royal affairs, Dugu Bo is different! His granddaughter is the future wife of the Temple Master of the Temple of War, and also the Grand Elder, so even if she gets involved, she will not be implicated.

So they invited Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan over under the pretext of apologizing. First, to sincerely apologize for what happened last time, since they were indeed somewhat unreasonable, otherwise Dugu Bo wouldn't have severed ties with them. Second, to get in touch with the Lord of the War God Temple through Dugu Bo.

The uncle and nephew thought that the young man they had met last time was Dugu Yan's other half, but it turned out that they were mistaken. After all, if he was Dugu Yan's future husband, wouldn't he be the Lord of the War God Temple?
How could that young upstart be the Palace Master? According to the uncle and nephew, that kid was probably just on good terms with Dugu Bo back then.

"There are no 'buts'. Get out of here now. If anything unexpected happens today, I'll hold you accountable!"

No sooner had Xue Beng finished speaking than a mocking voice rang out, "Is that so? Fourth Brother's true form has quite the airs of an official, huh? What? Even Eldest Brother can't see you?!"

At the end, Qian Renxue spoke to him with an imposing expression, which caused the latter's expression to change.

"Xue Qinghe! What's he doing here?"

The avalanche kept retreating, clearly showing that he was still very afraid of this older brother.

"Qinghe, you'd better not get involved in this matter today. You should know that we are hosting the Grand Elder of the War God Temple today, His Majesty Dugu. If we neglect him, you won't be able to bear the consequences if His Majesty blames us!"

Prince Xue Xing then stepped forward and said that others might be afraid of Xue Qinghe, but he was not. According to seniority, Xue Qinghe should call him uncle!

"Oh? Is that so? Then I'll see how he can't bear the consequences."

Ok?
Hearing the sound, Xue Beng and Xue Xing looked over and saw a person in armor standing beside Xue Qinghe, with a silver-white cloak draped over their back. This person stood with their hands behind their back, looking at them disdainfully. Looking at the scarlet mask, Xue Xing felt somewhat uncomfortable. The faint but powerful aura emanating from this armored figure was incredibly strong!
"Who the hell do you think you are? I'm talking to my elder brother, what are you doing interrupting? If you know what's good for you, get lost!"

Xuexing was about to stop Xuebeng from speaking, but it was too late! Although this person seemed like an ordinary person on the surface, Xuexing was certain that this person was definitely not simple.

He couldn't possibly be just a soldier or Xue Qinghe's bodyguard, because he'd never seen this person before. "Insolence! This is the Lord of the Temple of War! How dare you speak to him like that!"

Xue Qinghe said angrily.

"The Lord of the Temple of War Gods? Him? Hahaha! Brother, you haven't been fooled by him, have you? You know, the Lord of the Temple of War Gods has never shown his face. He looks like an ordinary person no matter how you look at him. I really don't understand where you found this imposter."

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng looked incredulous. Who was the Lord of the War God Temple? He was a super strong person who ruled the War God Temple. How could a prince like you just meet him? Moreover, even his father, Emperor Xue Ye, had never met this Lord, let alone you.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's lips curled up into a faint smile, a smile as if he were looking at a dead man.

Seeing this, Xue Xing felt a sense of foreboding. She wondered if the person in front of her was really the Lord of the Temple of War. If he was, wouldn't they have no chance of turning things around?
Seeing this, Xuexing quickly stopped Xuebeng from cursing any further. He was now only praying that this person was an imposter; if he was real, then Xuebeng would have nothing to do with the throne anymore.

At the same time, he cursed Xue Beng in his heart for being such a fool. He should have waited and observed the situation first. Regardless of whether the other party was the Lord of the War God Temple or not, he should have waited for Dugu Bo to arrive before making any decisions. If it was really him, it would have been a good opportunity to make his acquaintance.

If it's fake, someone will teach him a lesson. But this idiot offended people right off the bat. What if it's real? Wouldn't all their previous efforts have been in vain?
Sure enough, Xuexing's worst fears came true.
"Palace Master? What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan slowly walked in from outside, and the first thing they did upon seeing Wang Yi was to address him as Palace Master.

Wang Yi once said that if you see him wearing armor outside, you should call him Palace Master; if he's not wearing armor, you can just call him Xiao Yi or something similar.

Upon hearing this, Xue Beng's expression changed. If he didn't believe what Xue Qinghe said, then he had no choice but to believe what Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, grandfather and grandson, said.

Avalanche realized he was in trouble and quickly changed to a flattering tone, but in Xuexing's eyes, it was already too late.

Wang Yi didn't even bother to look at him, and said bluntly, "I originally came here to have dinner with Qinghe today. Although I said I wouldn't get involved in your royal family's affairs, we have a good personal relationship. But halfway through the meal, this Fourth Prince not only told us to get out, but also insulted me. Tsk tsk, I never expected that such a good Crown Prince like Qinghe, who is so devoted to the country and its people, would have such a spoiled and ill-mannered younger brother. Hmph, Emperor Xueye really did raise a fine son!"

After saying that, Wang Yi took Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan away using the teleportation technique, without even giving Xue Beng and Xue Xing a chance to explain.

Xue Qinghe stood still, watching the two of them and sneering.

"Uncle, and fourth brother, I will definitely report this matter to Father. If the Palace Master severs ties with the Heavenly Dou Empire because of you, then you can expect to be severely punished by Father!"

Xue Qinghe flicked her sleeves and walked away without looking back. As she turned around, a smirk appeared on her lips. She thought to herself, "These two guys are finished this time! And truly finished!"
