Chapter 77 Xue Qinghe's Scheme
Upon hearing this, Xue Beng trembled with rage and was about to unleash a torrent of curses when he was stopped by a cold glare from Emperor Xue Ye.

Xue Qinghe concluded, "Therefore, I suggest that the most urgent task is to quell the anger of Pavilion Master Linghan, prevent the situation from deteriorating further, and give our Tiandou Empire a chance to breathe and develop."

"One month later, I will personally carry the royal decree to the Beast God Pavilion to solemnly apologize to Pavilion Master Ling Han and formally and unconditionally transfer all ownership of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to the Beast God Pavilion."

"This move serves three purposes: first, it demonstrates the sincerity of our royal family in admitting our mistakes; second, it satisfies the demands of Pavilion Master Linghan; and third... it also provides an opportunity to try to make contact with this mysterious pavilion master and ascertain his true intentions."

"If we can establish contact through this, the benefits to our Tiandou will outweigh the drawbacks!"

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the avalanche on the ground, which was trembling with pain and anger. His voice carried a hint of coldness that was barely perceptible: "As for my fourth brother... I dare to ask Father to confine him to his residence, keep him under strict supervision, and let him reflect on his mistakes!"

"If any further trouble arises during this period, disrupting the grand plan for reconciliation between the Empire and the Beast God Pavilion... then I beg Father, for the sake of righteousness, to take swift and decisive action!" The last sentence was resolute and carried a cold, resolute tone.

Xue Qinghe's inner thoughts: 'Foolish avalanche, he deserves to die!'

This is a perfect opportunity to use his crippled body to create a chance for me to get close to Ling Han! I'll personally visit him a month later... This is an excellent opportunity!

Ling Han, the Beast God Pavilion... Such terrifying power, if we could not be enemies, or even... if we could cooperate, what a great help it would be to my Spirit Hall's great cause.

Even if we can't, we must find out the truth and not let it become an unexpected variable!

As for the academy? It's just a place to gild the lily of useless nobles; what harm is there in giving it to him?

Emperor Xue Ye, sitting on his throne, listened to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's clear and logical analysis, and saw his calm and confident demeanor. Compared to the avalanche on the ground, which was like mud and only screamed wildly, the last trace of anger and resentment in his heart caused by father-son affection was finally extinguished by the cruel reality.

He closed his eyes wearily, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

As an emperor, he knew better than anyone that Qinghe was right.

For the sake of the empire, for the sake of the Xue family's empire, he had to endure!
Endure this utter humiliation!
Suppress the hatred of his son being crippled!
After a long while, Emperor Xueye slowly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with deep weariness and a sense of resigned desolation.

His voice had lost its former loudness, becoming hoarse and weak:
“Your Highness…what you say…is very reasonable.” Every word seemed to weigh a ton.

His gaze shifted to the avalanche still glaring venomously at Xue Qinghe on the ground, his expression complex before finally settling into icy indifference:
"Avalanche, you are arrogant and domineering, lawless, and incorrigible! This time you have gone even further, daring to openly insult the Pavilion Master of Linghan, bringing immense disaster upon the Empire! If it weren't for the Crown Prince's intercession and analysis, you would already be dead without a burial place!" Emperor Xueye's voice carried the majesty of an emperor and an unquestionable judgment:
"Effective immediately, all your titles and ranks are hereby revoked!"

"You are confined to the Hall of Repentance! Without my decree, you shall never step out of the hall again for the rest of your life!"

"If you dare to cause trouble again, or utter any words of resentment..." A hint of pain flashed in Emperor Xueye's eyes, but his tone was resolute: "Don't blame me for... sacrificing family for the greater good!"

The cold, merciless decree fell like the final judgment.

The avalanche was struck as if by lightning; the venomous look in their eyes was instantly replaced by immense fear and disbelief! Stripped of their titles?!

A stay-at-home order?!
What's the difference between this and being a prisoner?! He suddenly looked up at his father on the throne, only to see a cold indifference.

"No! Father! You can't do this! I am your son!"

"You must avenge me! Kill Ling Han!"

"Kill that bitch! Bring them back! I want them..." Avalanche roared madly again, struggling to lunge towards the throne. "Shut up! Take them away!" Emperor Snow Night interrupted sharply, waving his hand wearily.

Immediately, two powerful royal guards stepped forward and, without any hesitation, lifted the still howling and struggling Xue Beng and dragged him out of the palace like a dead dog.

The desperate curses of the avalanche gradually faded into the empty hall.

After dealing with the avalanche, Emperor Xueye looked at Xue Qinghe with a complex expression, carrying a hint of barely perceptible dependence and entrustment: "Qinghe."

"Your subject is here," Xue Qinghe replied respectfully.

"One month from now... you will represent the royal family, and I... to the Beast God Pavilion." Emperor Xueye's voice was filled with helplessness and heaviness. "You must... you must handle this matter properly. Give him the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. I only ask... I only ask that he can give the empire... a way out."

"Yes! Your subject will do his utmost to live up to your expectations, Father!" Xue Qinghe bowed deeply, concealing the glint of light that flashed in his eyes.

The plan is progressing smoothly.

Emperor Xueye took one last look at Prince Xuexing, whose face was covered in blood and who looked utterly distraught, and wearily waved his hand: "You should also go and recover from your injuries. This matter... ends here."

Prince Xuexing felt as if he had been granted a pardon and scrambled out of the hall.

Inside the palace, only Emperor Xueye remained, sitting alone on the throne symbolizing supreme power, his figure appearing particularly desolate in the empty hall. The dignity of the empire, the face of the royal family, the future of his son… all vanished before absolute power.

A deep sense of powerlessness and despondency enveloped this once ambitious emperor.

……

the other side.

Half a month passed quietly in the tranquility of the Beast God Pavilion.

The turmoil in Tiandou City seems to have subsided for the time being, with the royal family doing their best to suppress the news of Xue Beng's crippling and Prince Xue Xing's serious injury.

After returning half a month ago, Ling Han did not pay much attention to the outside world's reaction. As far as he was concerned, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy was already in the Beast God Pavilion's pocket. Someone would hand it over in a month, so he didn't need to bother.

In the past two weeks, besides stabilizing his soul power at level 38 and gaining a deeper understanding of the soul skills Ice Prison Dragon Emperor Body and Dragon Emperor Power, the biggest change in Ling Han's life was that the thin veil between him and Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er was finally broken through after spending time together and having several "intimate encounters" during this period.

There's no need for many words to confirm one's feelings.

Wang Qiu'er's bright golden dragon eyes reflected only Ling Han's focused attention, Wang Dong'er's undisguised admiration and dependence, and Ling Han's own growing possessiveness and protectiveness towards them—everything fell into place naturally.

The relationship between the three had long surpassed that of master and servant and partners, and was rapidly developing into the most intimate romantic relationship.

Although Ling Han's soul power was still weak and his body had not yet fully developed, this did not prevent that burning passion from igniting in his heart.
