Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, "Thank you for your efforts, but today it's my fault, my emotions fluctuated so greatly unexpectedly."
Porcupine Douluo didn't mind, but cautiously asked, "Your Highness the Holy Daughter, may I ask what the issue is that made you show a flaw?"
For so many years, the former has always remained calm when facing Xue Ye, never showing any obvious loopholes!
But today, this incident happened, and he thought it was definitely not simple!
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe glanced at him without saying a word...
This sharp gaze made the former feel a little embarrassed, quickly adding, "If Your Highness the Holy Daughter doesn't want to say, then just pretend I never asked."
Looking at Her Highness the Holy Daughter, she really isn't simple!
Finally, Xue Qinghe sighed, "Eh, there's nothing I can't say."
Porcupine Douluo's eyes brightened and he listened quietly...
Xue Qinghe continued, "After Xue Ye summoned me, he suddenly asked about my relationship with Xu Sheng."
Porcupine Douluo frowned, "Just this level of issue shouldn't have made you show a flaw, right?"
He knew better than anyone what kind of temperament the former had!
Xue Qinghe didn't refute, but explained, "Indeed, something like that wouldn't cause my emotions to fluctuate, it's just..."
Thinking of this, he told everything that happened in one go...
Porcupine Douluo remained silent...
He finally understood!
The reason Her Highness the Holy Daughter showed a flaw was fundamentally because of Xu Sheng!!
Taking a deep breath, he mustered the courage to ask, "Your Highness the Holy Daughter, could it be that you really like..."
"Shut up!"
Xue Qinghe suddenly scolded angrily! But there was a faint blush on his cheeks...
Interrupted, Porcupine Douluo immediately shut up, not mentioning it again....
It seems he probably guessed correctly!
Her Highness the Holy Daughter, unexpectedly, was really infatuated with that guy....
Although a little frustrated inside, he quickly felt relieved...
No way around it, who asked that kid to be outstanding in both strength and appearance...
Seemingly realizing his words were too harsh, Xue Qinghe quickly added a few more sentences...
"I... I mean, Xu Sheng's importance to Martial Soul Hall is self-evident, he is an important asset against abyssal creatures!"
"Such a talent should never become part of the Tian Dou Imperial Family!"
Porcupine Douluo's mouth twitched, "Your Highness the Holy Daughter, I understand!"
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe reminded once more, "It's good that you understand, don't overthink it!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness the Holy Daughter, I believe you are only thinking about Martial Soul Hall!"
But the next second, the former's tone shifted, "Ahem, then... how is Xu Sheng now? Is he still at the Pope Hall?"
Porcupine Douluo, having expected this, truthfully replied, "In response to Your Highness the Holy Daughter, according to the information received, Xu Sheng suddenly left the Pope Hall a few days ago!"
Xue Qinghe felt something was amiss, "Suddenly left? Where did he go?"
Porcupine Douluo shook his head, "This is unclear, it's said that Pope Bibi Dong and the members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation also don't know, it seems he didn't tell anyone!"
Xue Qinghe held his chin, as if seriously contemplating something, "Didn't tell anyone? Could it be that he went to the Upper Three Sects?"
Porcupine Douluo did not deny this possibility, "We can't rule out that possibility, but currently, the Upper Three Sects, due to the Abyssal Creature Army's attack, are on extreme alert, and our spies inside can't send messages back"
Xue Qinghe waved his hand, ending the topic, "Forget it, since Xu Sheng didn't say, he probably doesn't want anyone to know his whereabouts"
"Let's go, we should go see that Xue Beng fellow, if we don't deal with him sooner, it will always be a troublesome matter"
...
Heaven Dou Royal Academy!
Xue Beng unexpectedly yawned, rubbed his nose, feeling a bit sour and said, "Who's whispering about me behind my back? Could it be that impostor big brother?"
Not far away, Prince Xue Xing, who was discussing with Du Gu Bo, glanced at him, "Xue Beng, what were you just saying?"
Xue Beng shook his head, "Uncle, I wasn't saying anything, just thinking that recently, isn't it a bit too quiet... no, too peaceful."
Du Gu Bo nodded in agreement upon hearing this, "Indeed, as Lord Xue Beng said, things have been going a bit too smoothly during this period."
Xue Xing pursed his lips, "It seems I'm not the only one with this illusion, it's indeed been too quiet lately, quiet to the point of eeriness."
"Usually, unexpected events occur at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but recently, no one has dropped out!"
Du Gu Bo's eyes turned cold, "Prince Xue Xing, could it be that this is just a ruse created by the impostor Xue Qinghe to lower our guard?"
In the past, I didn't think so, but the longer I interacted with this impostor Xue Qinghe, the more I discovered he was like a viper!
Once we relax our guard, it will surely lead to repercussions!
Xue Xing concurred deeply with this, "Hmm... that impostor Xue Qinghe might be playing some tricks behind the scenes, in his eyes, we're obstacles he must remove"
"Just like us, it's imperative to get rid of him!"
Xue Beng suddenly had a thought, and immediately said, "Uncle, Poison Douluo, could it be that due to the recent tense situation, coupled with the cooperation between Martial Soul Hall, the royal family, and the Upper Three Sects, that impostor Xue Qinghe didn't dare take action?"
Xue Xing and Du Gu Bo exchanged looks, both seemed to see each other's surprise...
"Xue Beng, are you saying... that impostor Xue Qinghe is very likely someone from Martial Soul Hall??"
Xue Beng felt a bit helpless, "I'm not completely sure, but... capable of exerting such influence on the royal family, apart from Martial Soul Hall, there shouldn't be any other force"
Not to mention being able to easily deal with those imperial brothers of mine, and having the capability to switch Xue Qinghe with someone else for these matters...
Xue Xing also pondered for a moment, "Martial Soul Hall? That's indeed possible, after all, Pope Bibi Dong has always been ambitious, aiming to act against the Tian Dou Imperial Family and the Upper Three Sects!"
Du Gu Bo presented his own view, "Could it be someone from the Xingluo Imperial Family?"
The relationship between Xingluo Empire and Tiandou Empire isn't good either!
Xue Xing almost instantly refuted the former's view, "Not very likely, although the soul masters of Xingluo Empire are slightly stronger than those of Tiandou Empire, that's about it!"
"Achieving all this without a trace is very difficult!"
Du Gu Bo nodded slightly, "That's true, if the Xingluo Empire had such capability, they would have acted against Tiandou Empire long ago, there's no need to take such a big risk to swap identities!!"
"Xue Beng, during this time, be extra cautious when you go to the imperial palace, we don't know what that impostor Xue Qinghe plans to do!!"
