Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 171 Winning Over

After Xue Qinghe saw off all the people who had come to the banquet, he hurried over to meet with Yuan Changqing.

Upon entering the room, Xue Qinghe repeatedly apologized, saying, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's alright." Yuan Changqing waved his hand, indicating that everything was fine.

When Catherine and Wang Yuyan saw Xue Qinghe arrive, knowing that he and Yuan Changqing had something to discuss, they said, "Honey, Yuyan and I will go outside and wait for you."

Xue Qinghe quickly replied, "Thank you, ladies. You may visit the garden."

After Catherine and Wang Yuyan left, Xue Qinghe said, "Your Majesty is truly blessed."

Yuan Changqing replied, "Haha, I think so too."

He then asked, "Does Your Highness have something to discuss with me?"

Xue Qinghe said, "Your Majesty, you are my teacher's friend, so there's no need to call me 'Crown Prince.' Just call me Qinghe!"

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "Alright then, Qinghe, let's get down to business!"

So Xue Qinghe began, "Your Majesty, I heard you used to be a teacher at the Heavenly Dou Advanced Royal Academy?"

"That's right, I was a teacher at the Tiandou Advanced Royal Academy for a few years, but I resigned later," Yuan Changqing replied.

Xue Qinghe then said with a regretful expression, "If Your Majesty hadn't resigned, our Heaven Dou Advanced Royal Academy would also have a Title Douluo."

Yuan Changqing laughed and said, "Qinghe, the Royal Academy is not bad now. All three chief students are Soul Douluo level experts. This is already quite good for an academy."

Xue Qinghe then asked, "It is said that Your Majesty is still nominally affiliated with the Royal Academy. I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to take a formal position at the academy? I am willing to help with that."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Changqing understood Xue Qinghe's intention: to bind him to the Heavenly Dou Empire as a form of military deterrence.

However, Yuan Changqing did not have such thoughts. If the three chief scholars of the Royal Academy needed his help, Yuan Changqing felt that he could decide on a case-by-case basis.

So Yuan Changqing shook his head: "Forget it, I was originally planning to resign that time, but the three chiefs persuaded me to stay, and since we have a good relationship, I agreed to just keep a nominal position."

"So, Qinghe, thank you for your kindness."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe also said regretfully, "That is truly a loss for the empire!"

"Haha, Qinghe, you're joking. Even without me, the empire is still the empire," Yuan Changqing laughed.

Seeing that Yuan Changqing had no such intention, Xue Qinghe decided to get straight to the point, saying, "Your Majesty, as you know, my position as Crown Prince is not very secure. The reason I'm keeping Your Majesty here is that I hope to get your help."

Yuan Changqing hadn't expected Xue Qinghe to be so direct, to say it so bluntly.

Yuan Changqing continued, "Didn't Qinghe become Brother Ning's disciple? With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what are you afraid of? You must know that's one of the top three sects, and they have two Title Douluo. Who would dare to offend them easily!"

Xue Qinghe replied, "Although Qinghe has become Ning Zongzhu's disciple, which has greatly helped my position as crown prince, it may not be as helpful if it comes to the struggle for the throne."

Yuan Changqing thought about it and agreed that Xue Qinghe's words made sense. With Ning Fengzhi's shrewdness, it was clear that he was investing in Xue Qinghe.

However, when it comes to matters of succession to the throne, the Heaven Dou Empire will not allow other forces to get involved, not even a sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has two Title Douluo in charge.

Because neither the royal family nor the powerful nobles of the Heavenly Dou Empire would allow it. If such a thing were to happen, it could very well render the emperor powerless.

Furthermore, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School were to truly participate, even with two Title Douluo, the army of the Heaven Dou Empire would be too much for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to contend with.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi would not gamble with the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the end. After all, as long as he did not get involved in the struggle for the throne, he could rest easy.

Yuan Changqing nodded and said, "You know that even your teacher doesn't want to get involved, so do you think I would get involved too?"

Xue Qinghe said, "I didn't have that idea, nor did I intend to involve Your Majesty. I just felt that with the support of another Title Douluo, my chances of success would be greater."

Yuan Changqing nodded, thinking that Xue Qinghe was still very clear-headed and did not intend to let the titled Douluo really get involved.

Moreover, judging from the behavior of this fake Xue Qinghe, Bibi Dong did not tell Qian Renxue anything about her and Yuan Changqing, not even a little bit.

Yuan Changqing knew that Xue Qinghe was currently being protected by two Title Douluos at all times.

So, Yuan Changqing looked at Xue Qinghe with a half-smile and said, "I think Your Highness is overthinking it. With your current power, whether or not you have my help shouldn't make much difference."

Because of his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, Yuan Changqing has a very strong sense of life. Even if you are a Title Douluo and you hide it well, you might not be able to detect it if you don't consciously sense it.

However, Yuan Changqing knew that the two titled Douluo, She Long and Ci Xue, were in Xue Qinghe's Crown Prince's residence.

Through Yuan Changqing's careful perception, he was also able to detect them; this was the perception of living things, or rather, the perception of things with a life force.

Xue Qinghe was also surprised by Yuan Changqing's sudden change in address, and her expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

If Yuan Changqing hadn't been watching Xue Qinghe closely, it would have been difficult to observe these changes.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe was also wondering if Yuan Changqing had discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly changed his tune and thought his power was quite good. Could it be that the two titled Douluo, She Long and Ci Xue, hadn't hidden themselves well?

However, Xue Qinghe was quite confident in her ability to conceal her appearance, believing that Yuan Changqing would not be able to see through it.

However, what Xue Qinghe didn't know was that Yuan Changqing's eyes had already awakened the Eye of Qi Observation, and now that he had advanced to the Title Douluo level, his mental strength had also become even stronger.

If Yuan Changqing were to observe Xue Qinghe now using his Eye of Observation, he would see that there must be an angelic phantom behind Xue Qinghe.

The difference between Yuan Changqing's Eye of Aura and Tang San's Purple Demon Eye is that Tang San's Purple Demon Eye is similar to X-ray vision, allowing him to see the essence of things.

Yuan Changqing's Eye of Qi Observation does not have the ability to see through things. The function of the Eye of Qi Observation is to see the characteristics of Qi and fortune. For example, if you see a mountain range, you can see a phantom like a giant dragon. This is the manifestation of the mountain range's veins, or the dragon veins.

Just like this fake Xue Qinghe, if you look at him with the Eye of Qi Observation, what he manifests is definitely the phantom of the Angelic Martial Soul.

Then, Xue Qinghe asked tentatively, "What does Your Majesty mean? What power do I have? At most, I'm just the guards of the Crown Prince's residence."

However, Yuan Changqing did not directly answer Xue Qinghe's question, but instead casually glanced at the positions of the two titled Douluo, She Long and Ci Xue.

After seeing Yuan Changqing's actions, Xue Qinghe understood the reason. He had discovered the location of She Long and Ci Xue, which explained why he said his forces were quite strong.

However, what Xue Qinghe couldn't understand was how Yuan Changqing had discovered him. You see, if a Title Douluo is willing to do everything he can to hide his presence, it is very difficult for other Title Douluos to discover him.

Then, Yuan Changqing stopped wasting words with Xue Qinghe, stood up and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late, I should take my leave."

He paused, then added, "If you want my support, she'll either have to support you, or she'll have to agree to let me support you. Think about it carefully!"

Afterwards, Xue Qinghe maintained proper etiquette and escorted Yuan Changqing and his wife out of the Crown Prince's residence.

After Yuan Changqing left, Xue Qinghe returned to his room, where She Long and Ci Xue, two titled Douluo, were already waiting.

Xue Qinghe asked, "Uncles, did you fail to conceal your presence properly just now?"

She Long and Ci Xue exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously.

She Long said, "Your Highness, we are all fine. I don't know how this Blue Silver Douluo found us."

Ci Xue nodded and said, "That's right. Today, because there is a Title Douluo here, we are all doing our best to hide ourselves."

Xue Qinghe nodded and said, "What do you think he meant by those strange things that Blue Silver Douluo said at the end? I have a feeling he knows something!"

She Long and Ci Xue shook their heads again. Seeing this, Xue Qinghe stopped asking them and could only think about it on her own.
