Douluo Continent: Starting with controlling Ning Rongrong and establishing the Holy Cult

The new guards standing behind me were dressed in fine clothes, but I had no recollection of their faces.

"Oh?"

Xue Qinghe nodded with interest.

They quickly went into operation.

He waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Of course I don't mind. Newcomers always need an adjustment period."

"You too are too reserved. You don't need to be like this in front of me."

Upon hearing Xue Qinghe's words, the old guard repeatedly agreed.

Xue Qinghe patted the other person on the shoulder, then changed the subject:

"However, as you may be wondering, I am indeed here to find something."

"Oh? What is it?"

The new guard approached again and asked.

The old guard wanted to grab him, but ultimately gave up under Xue Qinghe's "kind" gaze.

"I don't know. I don't know what that thing looks like, nor do I know if it's in the treasure room. I only know some of its features."

"If possible, could you help me look for it?"

Chapter 108 The True Form of Black Flame

Xue Qinghe knew this clearly.

This is your only chance.

Now that he has taken the first step, he cannot allow himself to fail.

If we fail, it won't be as simple as just revealing our identities—

Although, even if they succeed, their identities will most likely be exposed.

Although, nothing serious happened even though my identity was exposed.

There are no titled Douluo in the Heaven Dou world.

The only person the royal family could contact directly was probably Dugu Bo, who was on Prince Xuexing's side.

Two from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

Xue Qinghe was not worried that they would come to support the Tiandou Royal Family after the war started.

They have a lot of things to deal with on their own.

Although Tian Dou doesn't have any titled Douluo, he is already a titled Douluo, and his strength is no less than Dugu Bo's.

If his identity were truly exposed, he would likely be able to take him down easily.

The reason he stayed in the Heavenly Dou royal family to continue poisoning Emperor Xue Ye and usurping the throne—

Just for fun.

Correct.

It's just for fun.

Proving myself, or anything else, is no longer important.

If I had to point out any advantages, it would be the ability to better interact with the Black Flame.

"If possible, could you help me look for it?"

He spoke gently.

Actually, there was a reason why he had been lingering at the entrance of the treasure room.

On one hand, he was trying to use the secret methods of the Holy Spirit Cult to resonate with the black flame and locate its position. Although this secret method had strict requirements and limited effectiveness, it was one of the few ways to find this "transformed" black flame.

The good news is that there has been a response.

The bad news is that it points to something rather strange.

Another aspect is considering whether or not to take action.

However, he had already found the answer to this question the moment the guard came out—

want.

Both the old and new guards were startled by Xue Qinghe's words.

What is it that even the First Prince doesn't know about?

But it doesn't seem that strange.

After all, Emperor Xueye's collection dates back a long time.

"Of course."

The old guard stepped forward and answered.

"I wonder if the First Prince knows what the characteristics of that item are?"

Xue Qinghe glanced at the two guards, one new and one old, thought for a moment, and instead of answering immediately, he brought up a seemingly unrelated question.

"Hey, I see you're working pretty hard training the newbies, why don't you let me help you train them?"

For several reasons, he did not want the old guard to get involved.

But to the old guard, those words were grating.

Did His Highness the Crown Prince sense his dissatisfaction?

He felt a chill on the back of his neck.

He quickly waved his hand and said:

"No, no, I'm not tired at all..."

Xue Qinghe paused for a moment, then smiled and explained:

“I didn’t mean to blame you, you don’t need to overthink it.”

He looked up at the courtyard.

"I'm just experiencing what life will be like in the future."

The old guard blushed.

"I see. I was overthinking it. Then, I'll have to trouble Your Highness."

Then, the old guard stepped aside.

It was just talk that he didn't want Xue Qinghe to mentor newcomers.

Since Xue Qinghe himself has said so, he has even less reason to refuse.

The newcomer, however, looked at Xue Qinghe with great excitement.

"Really? Does Your Highness really need me to help you find that thing?"

Xue Qinghe nodded.

"Let's go in now, there's no time to lose."

The two entered the treasure room.

Following Xue Qinghe's instructions, the old guard stood watch at the door.

-

"Your Highness, what are the characteristics of that thing?"

"It looks like a flame, but it's actually neither warm nor hot."

"Is it cold?"

"No. The temperature is about the same as our body surface temperature."

The storage room was rather dark.

As Xue Qinghe answered the new guard's questions, he thought to himself.

No wonder.

After all, many antiques cannot be exposed to the light.

"It looks like flames... This description is so vague! How am I supposed to find it?"

"No rush, I can tell at a glance."

"Oh……"

The new guard nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

When he looked up, he saw Xue Qinghe looking at him.

"W-what's wrong, Your Highness?"

He began to feel a chill.

At this moment, he actually felt that Xue Qinghe in front of him was somewhat terrifying.

Xue Qinghe shook his head.

"It's nothing. When did you become a guard in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace?"

"Hmm, a week ago? I can't quite remember, I've been too busy. It's only now that I'm in charge of the treasure room and can listen to my seniors talk about the treasures that things have become a bit more interesting."

"A week ago. Who came in with you? Do you remember?"

The new guard shook his head.

"I got in through the assessment all by myself."

"I see. Who was in charge of assessing you?"

"Can't remember."
