In Douluo Continent, I saved Zhu Zhuqing at the beginning.

"How come I don't remember being this close to you?"

"You were still young then."

"You...you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Don't you know that it hurts me more than you hurt yourself?"

Qian Renxue looked heartbroken.

Damn, this is so realistic! If my face wasn't still burning, I would have actually believed it… Xue Beng cursed inwardly. He knew he couldn't let the Crown Prince continue.

He hadn't expected the Crown Prince's language to be so sharp; when he started to bluff, it sounded so real.

Lao Tzu, you almost moved me to tears.

He shouted resolutely, "Xue Qinghe, how dare you! How can you fabricate facts before the Emperor? Your subject begs the Emperor to uphold justice for me."

Avalanche played his trump card. The fact that he was able to maintain his status as a playboy was largely due to the tacit approval and favoritism of the Snow Night Emperor.

He knew this was the art of imperial strategy, a way to balance the power of the crown prince.

At this moment, Qian Renxue stopped speaking and, together with Xue Beng, turned her gaze toward Emperor Xue Ye.

"That is indeed outrageous!"

As expected. A cold shout echoed throughout the entire hall. The air seemed to become heavier and colder.

The emperor's majesty was evident without reservation.

At that moment, both Avalanche and Qian Renxue lowered their heads simultaneously.

However, Xue Beng was secretly delighted. Was his father about to reprimand the Crown Prince?

If he could be punished, it would be best to make him reflect on his actions in seclusion.

That way I'll have a chance to be with my uncle.

My father still loves me.

"You have truly disappointed me! I never imagined you would act so arrogantly and domineeringly... I hereby confine you to your quarters for three months..."

If there really is a lockdown, this will be extremely beneficial to my development... Avalanche became even more excited.

Finally, the Snow Emperor seemed to utter a single name with all his might: "Avalanche!"

avalanche.

avalanche?

Time seemed to stand still.

Qian Renxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief; just as Mr. Lin had predicted. Blindly yielding would only backfire. Being a little more assertive would yield unexpected gains.

Xue Beng was stunned. He really wanted to ask, "Father, did you slip of the tongue?"

I'm the one being punished? This is insane!

Even her signature act of crying and making a scene has lost its effectiveness?

Is Father Emperor forcing me to hang myself?

The specific punishment is not important; what matters is who is punished, as this reflects the emperor's attitude.

Has he already fallen out of favor? Is he really going to lose his chance at the throne?

No, I can't be so pessimistic. Temporary gains and losses don't matter. I still have my uncle. We can still turn things around.

Avalanche thought this way, as if he had grasped at a straw.

But then the waiter's voice came again.

"Your Majesty, Prince Xuexing has arrived."

Uncle, what's he doing here?

For some reason, Xue Beng had a bad feeling.

Chapter 100 The Scene of the Car Crash

The palace gates were wide open.

Besides Prince Xuexing, whose face bore a striking resemblance to Xueye, a tall, thin old man also entered the main hall with him.

Poison Douluo, what's he doing here too?

This is the question in everyone's mind.

"Brother, I didn't summon you to the palace. Is there something important that brings you here?"

Emperor Xueye asked calmly.

Those who come with ill intentions will not come; those with good intentions will not come… Qian Renxue frowned secretly.

Of course, her worries were not unfounded. Prince Xuexing was undoubtedly the most powerful supporter of the avalanche. Dugu Bo had also been a long-time retainer of the Xuexing Royal Palace.

Now, all three giants of the avalanche force have arrived.

Qian Renxue suddenly felt immense pressure. Was this some kind of attempt to put her down?

Although she has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind her, her teacher isn't here right now.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi only recently began to fully support her. Otherwise, Prince Xuexing and Prince Xuebeng would have been swept away.

Sigh, I was too hasty in my planning. If only I could ask Mr. Lin how to handle Xuexing's problem.

It should be noted that Xue Ye trusted her younger brother immensely, granting him not only great power but also putting the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy under Xue Xing's control.

This is extremely important.

After all, the Heavenly Dou Academy has several powerful Soul Douluos, as well as countless high, medium, and low-level Soul Masters.

This is the backbone of the empire.

Controlling them is tantamount to controlling the present and future of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy for a moment.

But one person was unusually relaxed. An avalanche was inevitable.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

My uncle must have come because he was worried about me. I have to say, it was a good thing he came. I can definitely turn this around.

Moreover, my uncle is always prudent in his actions, and fearing something might be amiss, he even brought Poison Douluo along.

Let's see how Qian Renxue responds this time.

Thinking about it, a hint of smugness appeared in his eyes as he looked at his 'Crown Prince Brother'.

At this moment, Xuexing knelt down. "Xuexing has come today for two matters."

"Oh?" Xueye was taken aback. "Tell me about it first."

However, Xuexing's next words struck Qianrenxue, Xueye, and Xuebeng like a thunderclap.

"The first thing is that Xue Xing is getting old, and I humbly request Your Majesty to reclaim control of the Tiandou Royal Academy."

what!?

What does this mean?

You're only in your fifties, you're still young.

Qian Renxue and Emperor Xueye never expected that the other party would bring up such a thing.

The avalanche was even more bewildered.

Uncle must be crazy... Abandoning the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is equivalent to abandoning half of his own power.

No, that's not right.

My uncle couldn't have acted so recklessly; there must be a reason.

Calm down... calm down... the avalanche kept reminding me.

Suddenly, a glint of command flashed in his eyes. He had realized a possibility.

Uncle, do you want to give me your full support right now?

Are you going to relinquish control of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and then recommend me to take over?

That must be it! This is paving the way for me.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one thinking this way; Qian Renxue had also considered this possibility. Her expression was incredibly complex.

After a brief moment of surprise, the Great Emperor regained his dignified demeanor.

"Then who does the Imperial Brother think should be in charge?"

Father, you're asking a question you already know the answer to. You'll definitely choose me... At this moment, Xue Beng had already straightened up, waiting for Xue Xing to announce her name, and then Emperor Xue Ye would issue an imperial decree to bestow the title.

But the next moment, he froze.

She gripped her clothes tightly with both hands, unable to smooth them down.

Xue Xing said, "His Highness the Crown Prince is virtuous and talented. Who in the entire country doesn't praise him for his benevolence and righteousness? No one but His Highness can hold such an important position."

! ”

Huh?

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

Qian Renxue stared at Xue Xing in disbelief. Was he recommending her? Was this a trap?

However, Xuexing responded to Qianrenxue with a truly bitter expression.

This morning, Drug Lord came knocking on his door. His intention was clear: he had offended a big shot and angered him.

Anyone can be emperor, except for avalanches.

Otherwise, he could just spray a mouthful of poison gas and kill himself and the avalanche.

That's right, it's that simple and straightforward.

But it works incredibly well. He won't have the slightest doubt.
