"Little Xueke, it's been so long! I wonder if you've missed your brother?"
Xue Ke's brows furrowed slightly, her earlier shyness vanished, and her smooth chin was delicately raised.
He said calmly, "Greetings, Brother Avalanche!"
I didn't answer his question, I just said hello.
She had no liking for her elder brother, who only knew how to bully the weak and toy with women.
Besides arrogance, he was also spoiled.
There was not a trace of the refinement expected of royalty.
Ye Qiu sat quietly to the side, observing the spoiled prince whose temperament and behavior had changed drastically.
With a powerful backer, he seemed much more confident.
Seeing that he ignored him, Ye Qiu was quite pleased.
Quietly observing from the sidelines, I watched with curiosity the people behind the avalanche.
“My dear brother, you’ve never been here before. I don’t know what wind blew you here today.”
Xue Qinghe spoke calmly, but looked surprised.
He addressed him as "good younger brother," but he hadn't even prepared a seat for him.
Xue Beng didn't care about Xue Ke and Xue Qinghe's perfunctory attitude.
He sneered inwardly, and for once, stood up straight in front of Xue Qinghe.
When he spoke, he was no longer as timid and hesitant as before.
"Brother, I heard you were assassinated!"
"I'm so sorry, I've been dealing with the matter of His Majesty the Evil Blood, our empire's patron, these past few days."
"Only today have I had the time to visit you, elder brother. I hope you won't blame me."
Xue Qinghe took a sip of tea.
Although he has been recuperating here for the past few days since his injury.
But he can still get firsthand information from the outside world.
Putting aside the Spirit Hall's covert cooperation, he also had quite a few supporters within the Empire...
He certainly knew Xie Xue.
They even know where these people came from!
Thinking of this, he felt a surge of resentment.
If that crazy woman hadn't deliberately kept it a secret, they wouldn't have only just found out now!
She glanced at Hunfeng, who was staring at her intently.
Xue Qinghe frowned.
Then he spoke slowly.
"It's alright. After all, His Majesty the Evil Blood's addition is indeed a very important matter!"
"My personal injuries are nothing compared to the development of the entire empire."
"It's good that you understand, brother!"
Avalanche smiled smugly, his words laced with provocation.
"Big brother, just stay here and take good care of yourself. I'll take care of everything outside!"
"Oh? Is that so..."
Seeing Xue Beng's arrogant attitude, Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes.
"Then you'd better do your best, Your Highness. This is a rare opportunity for you!"
"My little brother will make the most of it!" Xue Beng nodded with a smile.
Xue Qinghe suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Once upon a time, he was just a cowardly, spoiled prince. Now he dares to act so arrogantly in front of me!
I felt a slight pain inside my body, and I didn't want to waste any more words.
"Congratulations in advance! If there's nothing else, you may leave."
Hearing his order to leave.
The avalanche paused for a moment, then did not respond immediately.
Instead, he turned around and exchanged a glance with the young man behind him.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu, who had been observing the two of them, frowned even more deeply.
The young man in the graduation gown, from the moment he entered...
There was not a trace of respect in him.
Her gaze never left Xue Qinghe, constantly scrutinizing and examining him.
Now it seems that even a prince like Xue Beng...
They also followed his lead and acted according to his wishes...
Where did this person come from?!
Under Ye Qiu's surprised and uncertain gaze.
The man nodded slightly.
Avalanche then bowed and took his leave.
"Brother, I brought some tonics to visit you. They're already outside the door. I hope you'll accept them!"
"..."
He was met with silence.
Xue Qinghe quietly sipped her tea, ignoring his words.
Avalanche's face gradually darkened.
Don't make a fool of yourself.
"I imagine you must be tired, brother. I won't disturb your rest any longer. Goodbye, Xueke!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Before leaving, the young man in the black academic gown glanced at Ye Qiu.
Look at their backs.
Ye Qiu was filled with doubt and unease.
That person also gave him a dangerous feeling.
I was just about to activate my Sharingan to spy on him, but I didn't expect him to notice me.
"Brother Xue, who is that person following behind Avalanche?"
"Um?!"
Ye Qiu had just come to his senses when he looked over at Xue Qinghe.
But they found him covered in sweat, his lips were bloodless, and he was shivering.
"Oh...Crown Prince! Are you alright?"
Xue Ke also noticed that something was wrong with Xue Qinghe, so she quickly got up and went over to him, taking out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat with concern.
He looked a little flustered.
"Brother Crown Prince, how about I go and ask Aunt Ye to come and treat you again?"
"No need, my wound just hurts a little..."
Xue Qinghe's voice was hoarse, as if sitting was already very difficult for him.
Ye Qiu's expression was solemn.
The Aunt Ye mentioned by Xue Ke may be one of the only two owners of the Nine Heart Begonia.
Ye Lingling's mother.
Surprisingly, even with her intervention, the injury was not healed.
"Brother Xue..."
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment, then extended his hand to Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered. Although she didn't understand what he meant, she inexplicably placed her hand in his palm.
During the recovery period.
He wasn't wearing the black gloves that he always wore to conceal his slender fingers.
Qian Renxue's soft hands, smooth and delicate, were still cool to the touch.
