"Sister Xueke, your brother is also a little thirsty!"

He tapped the table next to his teacup, his voice somewhat sarcastic, and looked at her coldly.

"Ah...oh, Crown Prince, I, I'll pour you a cup right now..." Xue Ke blushed as he stared at her, and quickly poured him a cup.

Then she obediently picked up the apple that hadn't been peeled yet.

They dared not speak or make any more random movements.

Xue Qinghe picked up the teacup, brought it to his lips, and took a sip.

He teased, "Ye Qiu, long time no see! Your charm has only grown! You've even captivated my royal sister..."

"Crown Prince, what nonsense are you talking about!" A blush quickly rose on Xue Ke's snow-white swan neck.

He lowered his head and peeked...

Ye Qiu awkwardly touched his nose and chuckled twice.

"Brother Xue, you flatter me..."

Too kind!

Xue Qinghe's expression turned cold, and he gripped the cup in his hand tightly.

Where did I praise him?

I was furious.

He immediately frowned again.

He clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain.

Seeing this, Ye Qiu also remembered the important matter at hand.

She looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Xue, do you know who wants to assassinate you?"

"Hoo~" Xue Qinghe adjusted his breathing and shook his head.

"I don't know either. I had just come out of the palace that day and didn't have any guards with me... when suddenly I was pierced by an arrow that came from afar!"

Xue Qinghe clutched his left shoulder, his face also looking grim.

If I hadn't been aware of the danger and avoided the vital points, I might have died on the spot!

He wasn't entirely without suspects.

But it's simply impossible to say such things here with so many people watching...

Ye Qiu suddenly realized.

No wonder he was still assassinated despite having two titled Douluo protecting him.

So that’s it!

This assassin has a knack for timing and choosing the right location.

Or perhaps he was just very lucky.

Originally, it was just to prevent those guards from getting in the way, but unexpectedly, it just so happened that the porcupine and the snake spear were not following Xue Qinghe!

Looking at Xue Qinghe, Ye Qiu's eyes revealed a strange expression.

They stared in astonishment at Xue Qinghe, who was covered in cold sweat.

My heart was full of surprise and uncertainty.

Is the injury really that serious?

Logically speaking, given the Heaven Dou royal family's resources and the Spirit Hall behind them...

Even if he was seriously injured, it shouldn't be this serious after just a few days!

Ye Qiu frowned, and the three tomoe in his eyes suddenly lit up.

I was immediately startled!

Strange, crimson soul power was swirling around Xue Qinghe, seemingly eroding him...

That aura actually felt somewhat familiar to Ye Qiu.

But for a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen it before.

Feeling Ye Qiu staring at her, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but look at him in confusion.

Bloodshot eyes...

A sliver of color returned to his pale face, and his heart felt much stronger.

The infatuation in her eyes and the shyness on her face flashed by in an instant.

Xue Ke, who had been secretly observing Ye Qiu, also gripped her tightly pressed thighs together.

Suppress the urge to pounce on him.

Ye Qiu's face was solemn as he closed his Sharingan.

Before my eyes appeared Xue Qinghe, gritting his teeth and looking furious.

Looking at Xue Ke, her face was covered in red flowers, and her long neck was draped in pink gauze.

Her two little hands were placed on her tightly closed legs, constantly entangled.

He was staring at himself intently.

Noticing her own gaze, and no longer under the allure of the Sharingan, she felt her heart flutter and avoided Ye Qiu's gaze.

Her lips were slightly parted, and she was breathing softly.

"Uh..."

Ye Qiu opened his mouth, but was speechless and extremely embarrassed.

This is tantamount to seducing Xue Ke in front of Xue Qinghe...

"Cough cough..."

He could only cough twice to ease the tension.

"I wonder how Brother Xue's injuries are? I have some medicinal herbs here that might be able to help you!"

"No need, I'm not going to die anytime soon!"

Xue Qinghe's face remained angry, his glaring eyes seemed to want to tear flesh off, and his words were extremely harsh.

Suddenly, a guard rushed over from outside the pavilion.

"Your Highness, Prince Avalanche requests an audience!"

Chapter 209 Confession

An avalanche? What's he doing here?

Ye Qiu was puzzled and looked at Xue Qinghe.

He had already suppressed his anger and regained his calm and composed demeanor.

"Let him in!"

After a brief moment of hesitation, he ordered the avalanche to be released.

"Yes!"

The guards quickly retreated to relay his orders.

Not long after.

Two figures appeared at the entrance to the back garden.

One of them was Xue Beng, who had met Ye Qiu once before.

His dazzling reddish-brown hair and eyes, though less gloomy than before, still exuded an air of arrogance in every move he made.

His feet moved with a limp, unsteady gait, yet his upright posture was somewhat hunched.

It looks rather comical.

He was traveling with him.

There was also a young man wearing a black academic gown and glasses.

In just a short while, the avalanche reached the pavilion in the center of the back garden.

The moment Xue Beng saw Ye Qiu, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

Ye Qiu sensed this commotion very clearly.

They didn't pay much attention to it.

"Big brother!"

Avalanche remained expressionless, smiled, and casually gave a bow.

Ignoring Ye Qiu, she looked at Xue Ke beside her.
