Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 328 Pretending to be weak to deceive others? Playing the role of a real eunuch!
Ye's house.

Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan suddenly received a message from Dugu Bo, asking them to go to the Dugu residence.

The message was brief and urgent, suggesting the sender was in a bad mood.

Lin Xiao and Dugu Yan didn't dare to delay and quickly set off.

"Hey, where are you guys going? Wait for me!"

Ye Lingling hurriedly followed.

……

Xue Beng's face turned red and his neck bulged, his expression one of deep resentment, as if he had been greatly insulted.

Prince Xuexing, on the other hand, wanted to extract information from Dugu Bo.

However, Dugu Bo's response was lukewarm.

A moment later, footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

Avalanche and Prince Snowstar both looked towards the doorway.

But as they entered, two beautiful young women walked in. One had long, emerald-green hair, a cool and elegant appearance, and a beautiful figure; the other had long, silver hair, a sweet and charming face, and a hint of allure.

They were all beauties of their time.

Prince Xuexing was stunned for a moment.

Xue Beng was like a pig, unable to recover for a long time. His heart suddenly burned with passion, and his eyes were fixed on the two women.

Until Lin Xiao walked in.

In an instant, Xue Beng felt a sense of shame and embarrassment. Even though he hadn't looked in a mirror, he seemed to see his own ugly state.

Dugu Bo sneered:

"Didn't you want to propose marriage? Now that the person in question is here, just say what you want to say."

Propose marriage?

Lin Xiao, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling were all taken aback.

Seeing the avalanche, Lin Xiao quickly deduced what had happened.

Dugu Yan reacted and immediately glanced at Lin Xiao with trepidation. Seeing that Lin Xiao's expression had not changed, she was still flustered and then felt endless anger.

He immediately began to spit and curse:

"Propose marriage? What kind of marriage proposal!"

"If Prince Avalanche had any self-awareness, he shouldn't have shown up at my house today!"

Dugu Yan glanced at Xue Beng with disgust.

Then, she took Lin Xiao's arm and whispered, begging for mercy:
"What nonsense! I don't know anything about it!"

Before Xue Beng could even speak, he was mocked, his face turning ashen. Seeing Dugu Yan cautiously looking at Lin Xiao, he felt a tightness in his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.

Lin Xiao looked at him calmly, said nothing, smiled slightly, and pulled Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling into her arms.

"oops!"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling both exclaimed in surprise and leaned on Lin Xiao's shoulders.

This scene was the envy of everyone around!
Lin Xiao smiled slightly.

"Excuse me, Prince Avalanche, Sister Yan Yan and Sister Ling Ling are both mine."

"You seem to be late."

Ye Lingling muttered:

"Even if I weren't late, I wouldn't agree to marry him even if I were destined to die alone..."

Dugu Yan: "..."

She usually hated Ye Lingling's mouth the most, but she had to admit that it was really useful in a critical moment!
He sprang to his feet in an instant during the avalanche!
"Uncle, it's getting late, let's go back now!"

Prince Xuexing and Xue Beng saw no need to stay any longer, so they took their leave with grim expressions and departed from the Dugu residence.

After they left.

Dugu Bo sneered:

"This scoundrel, he even wants to use the debt of saving my life to coerce me? Does he think he can repay a favor for Yanyan's matter? Whether it's becoming his apprentice or proposing marriage, it's all off the table!"

Lin Xiao lowered his head in thought.

"It seems that under the immense external pressure, Xue Beng and Xue Qinghe are fighting even more fiercely. He wants to take advantage of your power, Senior Dugu."

"Royal marriages are just political tools, but he shouldn't have set his sights on Sister Yan Yan."

When this kind of thing happens...

Lin Xiao's actions triggered an avalanche, and a rift appeared in the relationship between Prince Xuexing and Dugu Bo. But the one who should be worried and anxious is definitely not Lin Xiao.

……

In the afternoon, an invitation arrived from the Crown Prince's residence.

"Qian Renxue's information network is quite good."

Lin Xiao was not surprised and accepted the invitation.

He arrived at the Crown Prince's residence and met Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe. She had a concerned smile on her face, and after asking him about his well-being, she inquired about the avalanche.

Lin Xiao told him the truth.

A fleeting look of joy flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, but she quickly apologized:
"My fourth brother is always unreliable, and he's just causing you trouble, Lin Xiao."

“He’s still a child at heart, and he might be quite vengeful. If he offends you in any way, please tell me immediately and I’ll teach him a lesson.”

Qian Renxue started to sow discord between Lin Xiao and Xue Beng, implying that Xue Beng would definitely retaliate.

Although Lin Xiao saw through it, she did not expose him.

He then smiled and said:
"Even His Highness the Crown Prince can make mistakes. Everyone says that the Fourth Prince is a playboy, but in my opinion, the Fourth Prince is actually wise in disguise."

As the fourth prince, Xue Beng has been pretending to be a playboy for so long, and his scheming is extremely deep. Anyone who really thinks he is as simple as he seems on the surface will suffer sooner or later.

After all, he was a prince who survived.

Although weak in strength, they have a multitude of tricks up their sleeves.

Lin Xiao thought about it carefully. Although the avalanche's performance today was indeed surprising, what if it was also part of the other party's disguise?

After failing to propose marriage and failing to leverage Dugu Bo's influence, he now faces Qian Renxue's suspicion and threats.

Therefore, by pretending to be lustful and deliberately acting foolish, he managed to maintain his original persona.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiao saw through the trick.

"Lin Xiao, do you mean that the fourth brother... isn't as simple as he seems?"

Lin Xiao didn't answer, but just smiled:

"The Fourth Prince is, after all, a legitimate member of the royal family, a direct descendant of the royal line. How could he be simple?"

Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully.

Yes, Avalanche is, after all, of royal blood and has the right to inherit. What if the other party has been pretending to be weak and hiding their strength? Wouldn't we be in trouble if we were caught off guard?

Is there any way to eliminate his chance of inheriting the throne without killing him?
Suddenly, Qian Renxue had a flash of inspiration.

Got it!

Why not just have someone castrate him?

If Xue Beng didn't die, no one would suspect him; and Xue Beng himself dared not reveal that he was a eunuch, otherwise he would be ridiculed, his life would be in danger, and he would have no chance of inheriting the throne!

From any perspective, Qian Renxue has the upper hand!

Qian Renxue was in a very good mood and chatted with Lin Xiao for a long time. However, she missed the scene when she touched Lin Xiao's head and was close to him in the Spirit Hall.

Unfortunately, his current identity is that of the Crown Prince of Tiandou...

Finally, as Lin Xiao prepared to leave, he glanced meaningfully at Qian Renxue and smiled gently:
"Your Highness, the situation has been turbulent lately, and people's hearts are filled with unease."

"I also go out frequently."

"You are my friend, but I'll have to trouble you to look after my family in Tiandou City."

Fight however you want.

Anyway, just don't provoke the Ye family and the Dugu family.

Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded guiltily.

"how could be……"

……

Next, Lin Xiao stayed in Tiandou City for a month, and he didn't stay idle.

The Li clan inspected the area three times.

I met with Ning Fengzhi to discuss this matter.

Focus on your cultivation and calm your restlessness in the Killing City.

Spending their days happily with Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan in a completely new way.

Until he received a letter from the Star Luo Empire...
