Xue Qinghe saw this scene and couldn't help but frown slightly...
"Xue Beng, Senior Douluo of Poison, isn't this approach a bit too arbitrary? The entire temporary camp is completely engulfed in poison fog. If an unexpected event occurs, won't the soldiers and Soul Masters of the Tiandou Empire have no chance to escape?"
"I think, at least we should leave an opening, right?"
Upon hearing the former's words, Xue Beng's eyes narrowed, and he quickly reassured, "Brother, this is for everyone's sake. If we leave an opening, what if those soul beasts and abyssal creatures just happen to come in through it?"
"Especially considering the latter's stealth abilities, even we, not to mention Senior Douluo of Poison, wouldn't necessarily notice it immediately!!"
After so long, finally seeing this imposter brother's face show a hint of emotion!
This proves that the earlier decision was correct!!
If we could directly cut off those little tricks in his heart, it would be even better!!
Du Gu Bo glanced at the two and decisively stood on Xue Beng's side...
"I also believe that Lord Xue Beng has a point. We can't present such an obvious flaw. I hope the Crown Prince understands!"
Xue Qinghe's expression immediately turned somewhat gloomy, but he chose to remain silent...
Seeing this, Du Gu Bo, observing the gathering attention around, added, "Crown Prince, consider it this way: these Soul Masters and soldiers of the Tiandou Empire accompanied us this time to protect you and Lord Xue Beng."
"Naturally, they couldn't leave you behind and depart on their own, so this serves as a kind of warning!!"
Xue Qinghe pursed his lips, "I understand..."
"Xue Beng and Senior Douluo of Poison, you're both thinking about everyone; consider what I just said as unsaid!"
Little did they know, what just happened appeared different in the eyes of the accompanying soldiers and Soul Masters!
"Damn it, isn't Lord Xue Beng and Senior Douluo of Poison being a bit too arbitrary? If we're really surrounded by abyssal creatures or soul beasts, wouldn't we be trapped, with nowhere to escape?"
"Who says otherwise, I think Lord Xue Beng and Senior Douluo of Poison planned it together, not giving the Crown Prince any respect at all."
"Tsk, even though we're here to protect the Crown Prince and Lord Xue Beng, it doesn't mean we have to die in front of them if danger comes, right?"
"Shh, keep your voices down, or else you'll be in trouble if you're heard!!"
When the time was right, Xue Qinghe stood up, gazing at everyone, and said word by word, "Everyone, don't misunderstand Xue Beng and Senior Douluo of Poison; they're thinking about us all and didn't do it on purpose!"
"If anyone wants to leave along the way, feel free to report to me or Xue Beng."
These words, once spoken, filled everyone with gratitude!
"No wonder Xue Qinghe can be the Crown Prince, his demeanor is unmatched by Lord Xue Beng, the difference is clear!"
"Exactly, although they say Lord Xue Beng's reputation has improved, it seems like he's just acting!"
"The Crown Prince truly understands the hardships of us ordinary soldiers and Soul Masters, even for this alone, we must ensure nothing happens to him!"
Xue Beng just watched silently, muttering in his heart, "Damn it, even now, you don't forget to win people's hearts? So cunning!"
However, such tactics may work in the imperial palace but are meaningless in the wild!!
For now, it's still he and Senior Douluo of Poison who have a louder voice!!
Du Gu Bo also kept a straight face, not revealing his thoughts!
After handling everything, Xue Qinghe walked over again, smiling as he said, "Xue Beng, Senior Douluo of Poison, it seems everyone misunderstood you, but it's okay, I'm sure they'll understand later."
Xue Beng and Du Gu Bo exchanged a glance, both ignoring the other...
Profiting yet pretending to be humble, it's truly annoying from the bottom of one's heart!
However, such a person acts so perfectly in front of Xue Ye!!
Pope Hall!
Yueguan, upon receiving the news immediately, came to the main hall...
And conscientiously reported...
"We just received news that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire, along with a number of soldiers and Soul Masters, has arrived outside the Star Dou Forest."
"Du Gu Bo and the Second Prince Xue Beng are also among them!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes showed a different color, and she said with interest, "Oh? Sending both the Crown Prince and the Second Prince to meet Xingluo Empire's people suggests that in Xue Ye's mind, he doesn't want any misunderstandings between them."
Yueguan nodded in affirmation, "Yes, Your Holiness, but... it's surprising that Du Gu Bo would obey Xue Ye!"
He and Du Gu Bo aren't friends, but due to certain reasons, they are quite familiar with each other!
For someone who doesn't favor the Tiandou Imperial Family to actively work for Xue Ye, it's hard to believe without confirmation!
Bi Bidong smirked as if hearing a joke, "Heh, Yueguan, why? Do you think Du Gu Bo was sent by Xue Ye?"
Yueguan was puzzled, "Your Holiness, isn't that the case?"
Bi Bidong patiently explained, "That Du Gu Bo the Poison Douluo was saved years ago by Prince Xue Xing, and he decided to guard the latter!"
"He's accompanying them this time not for Xue Ye's sake; it's likely Prince Xue Xing's orders!"
Yueguan suddenly looked enlightened, "I see, I didn't expect such a thing to happen with that old poison."
Bi Bidong raised an eyebrow, "You've been fighting him for so long, yet you didn't know this information?"
Yueguan scratched his head awkwardly, "Your Holiness, whenever I meet Du Gu Bo, we just start fighting immediately."
"Where would I find time to understand the happenings in his past?"
Bi Bidong said no more, "True, given that you and Du Gu Bo are fated to collide!"
Yueguan coughed and changed the topic, "Your Holiness, this time with Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire's heirs gathered in the Star Dou Forest, should we do something?"
"Yueguan, what do you mean?"
"Your Holiness, I just think it's a great opportunity for a sweeping action against Xingluo Empire and Tiandou Empire, perhaps..."
"No, the situation is tense now. Many forces have painstakingly reached a cooperation against the abyssal creatures. If the balance is broken because of this..."
"Our Martial Soul Hall might also face backlash!
Only a fool would act against the princes of Tiandou Empire and Xingluo Empire at such a time!
She naturally wouldn't do such a thing right now, but the future is uncertain!
