Douluo: Shark Hunting Blade, Lurking in the Dark!

Yu Xiaogang's voice echoed quietly in the palace.

"Lan?"

Emperor Xue Ye looked extremely surprised.

Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious.

Anything involving Lan is worthy of attention.

Xue Qinghe's face was extremely cold, and his hands behind his back suddenly clenched. He stood up immediately, looked at Yu Xiaogang and said slowly: "Master Yu, this is the Tiandou Palace. You must be responsible for what you say in front of the emperor."

"Empty words are a crime of deceiving the emperor."

"What makes you say that Sarath was killed by Dean Lan?"

Looking at Xue Qinghe who stood up, Yu Xiaogang naturally knew his relationship with Lan. The other party was inclined towards Origin Academy.

Yu Xiaogang's face was calm, and he said, "Your Highness, as far as I know, you have a close relationship with Na Lan. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to get involved in this matter, right?"

Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression was exceptionally cold.

"Master Yu is quite well-informed."

"I am only speaking the truth. How dare I put personal interests above public ones in front of my father?"

Emperor Xue Ye nodded, he looked at Yu Xiaogang and said: "Since you have identified Lan as the murderer, you must have your reasons, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Xiaogang then turned around and looked at the civil and military officials and said, "As everyone knows, yesterday was the last day of the Soul Master Competition Tiandou Division qualifiers. It was also yesterday that Lan Zeng started a dispute with Saras in the Tiandou Division and ignored Your Majesty's imperial power. He first killed Hu Yanzhen and then cut off the arm of Bishop Saras."

"If it weren't for Senior Jian Douluo's help, I'm afraid Sarath would have been killed in the preliminaries."

"Since then, Lan has had murderous intentions towards Sarath. Conversely, if you were Lan, would you let go of a platinum bishop who already bears a grudge against you?"

"And don't forget that Sarath is one of the Platinum Bishops and a Soul Douluo-level expert. Let me ask you, besides a Titled Douluo, who else can kill a Soul Douluo?"

"As far as I know, there aren't many Titled Douluo in Tiandou City, right?"

"Except for Origin Academy, of course."

When Yu Xiaogang said this, all the civil and military officials in the audience became excited. They nodded as they spoke, obviously agreeing with Yu Xiaogang's statement.

Indeed, judging from the motive for murder, Lan is undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

Moreover, during the discussion, Yu Xiaogang also deliberately mentioned Lan's behavior of ignoring Emperor Xue Ye and forcibly killing Hu Yanzhen.

Emperor Xue Ye is the ruler of a country and he must absolutely maintain his imperial authority, especially in front of all officials!

Xue Qinghe looked at the one-sided wind direction, and the expression on his face became increasingly cold.

This Yu Xiaogang actually dumped all the dirty water on his big brother
Xue Qinghe looked at Emperor Xue Ye and said, "Father, don't listen to his one-sided words. Everything must be based on evidence."

Before he could finish, Emperor Xue Ye slowly raised his hand and said, "Qinghe, I know that you have a good relationship with Lan, but the situation is urgent now. I guess the elders of the Spirit Hall are on their way here."

"Do you realize the seriousness of the matter?"

Faced with Emperor Xue Ye's question, Xue Qinghe was unwilling and wanted to say something for Lan, but Emperor Xue Ye's voice suddenly came.

"Qinghe, I am so disappointed in you."

Emperor Xue Ye’s words made Xue Qinghe’s heart tremble suddenly.

At this moment, the corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth rose slightly.

That was his plan.

Directly tell Lan the dirty water. It doesn’t matter whether Sarath was killed by Lan or not. What matters is that Lan is suspected of murder and that Lan has a bad relationship with Emperor Xue Ye. That’s enough.

Besides, Emperor Xue Ye had no choice.

If someone from the Spirit Hall came to interrogate, the blame would sooner or later be passed to someone else. The Tiandou Empire would never admit it, but it just happened to have Lan as a handy shield.

Not only would it further deteriorate the learning situation between the Tiandou Empire and the Origin Academy, it would also allow the Spirit Hall's hatred to be completely transferred to Lan.

This is a perfect plan, killing two birds with one stone!
But these are all Yu Xiaogang's wishful thinking. Because from the beginning, Lan had no intention of cooperating with any force, and any force could be the enemy of Origin Academy.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's behavior today will only speed up the countdown to death.
About Origin Academy,

Yu Xiaogang suggested that he be expelled from Tiandou City directly.

Yu Xiaogang's actions have greatly angered Qian Renxue. She now wishes she could just expose her spirit and kill Yu Xiaogang.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, who had not spoken a word, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Master, can you listen to what I have to say?"

"If we rashly expel the Origin Academy from Tiandou City, it will cause dissatisfaction and lead to a counterattack from the other side, and our Tiandou Empire will inevitably suffer heavy losses. It is completely unnecessary."

"If someone from the Spirit Hall comes to interrogate you, Your Majesty, you only need to seek truth from facts and let the Spirit Hall fight with the Origin Academy."

"This way, we can sit back and watch the fight."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Yu Xiaogang nodded: "Master Ning is right, I was not thoughtful enough."

After reaching the conclusion, Emperor Xue Ye decided to let Origin Academy and Lan take the blame, while they fantasized about reaping the benefits.

After returning to the palace, Xue Qinghe immediately called Snake Spear and Thorny Porpoise.

"This Yu Xiaogang must be killed."

Yu Xiaogang's behavior has already made Qian Renxue want to kill him.

After hearing this, Snake Spear and Thorn Pig hurriedly dissuaded him, saying, "Young Master, you have been noticed by Emperor Xue Ye and all the civil and military officials today. You must not take any action in the short term, otherwise your identity will be exposed.
"Identity." Her expression became dazed.

Those two words again.

She had wanted to do a lot of things, but she was stopped by these two words.

These two words almost bound her first half of life.
Is it the same this time?

No. This is not the life she wants.
All she wants is to live a normal life, working from sunrise to sunset with the person she loves.
On one side is my ideal life,
On the one hand, there is his responsibility as the young master.

Is it really just a choice between the two?
I don’t know how long it took,
She suddenly spoke.

"Uncles, if I don't want to carry out the mission anymore, will you still help me?"

At some point, Xue Qinghe's appearance had disappeared, replaced by three thousand golden threads like a waterfall.

Facing Qian Renxue's sudden words, the two were stunned at first, then immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "Young Master, our duty is to protect you forever. No matter what decision you make, we will do our best!"

Qian Renxue slowly raised her head, and a light flashed in the depths of her purple gemstone-like eyes.

"Grandpa, Xiaoxue wants to pursue her own life. And..."

"The one I like."

"I was always bound before, but this time, I don't want to be bound anymore"

"Xiaoxue will not forget her duties either."

"Xiaoxue is no longer a child."

“Only children make choices.”

"I want both!"

A sharp look flashed across Qian Renxue's face, and her temperament suddenly changed.

Even without the identity of Xue Qinghe, she will still lead the Spirit Hall to glory.

The bright moonlight shone through the window onto Qian Renxue's cold face.

"Yu Xiaogang, you should thank big brother for giving you the chance to live a few more days."

"After you complete your elder brother's instructions and look after the Origin Academy until the Soul Master Competition is over, your life will end here."
