I really am a Titled Douluo

The next day, at the imperial palace!

Xue Ye was regarding the guard below with a stern gaze, seemingly awaiting the latter's explanation...

The guard only felt cold sweat bead on his forehead but still began to answer, "Your Majesty Xue Ye, I meant no disrespect, I have come to report a matter!"

Xue Ye raised an eyebrow but did not vent his anger on the latter, "Speak, what is it?"

He was indeed curious about what could warrant such an early report!

The guard swallowed, "Reporting to Your Majesty Xue Ye, it is..."

He was ready to explain but found himself unable to utter that phrase...

His Majesty seemed to have no affection for that royal prince...

Not to mention the latter's infamous reputation; would he be implicated if he were to speak out?

Sensing the guard's nervousness, Xue Ye was slightly displeased, "Am I that frightening? That you can't even speak clearly!"

The former hurriedly denied, "This subordinate wouldn't dare, it is... Prince Xue Beng seeking an audience!"

"Xue Beng??"

As expected, upon hearing that name, Xue Ye's face turned a few degrees colder...

He had heard many unflattering rumors about this son of his, especially his actions at Heaven Dou Royal Academy; it was already lenient not to strip him of his royal lineage!

Yet the rascal still had the audacity to come to see him!!

The guard clearly saw the change in emotion and quickly bowed his head...

Xue Ye took a deep breath, "Is he outside the imperial palace right now?"

The former nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Your Majesty, Prince Xue Beng has been here since long before, but only now did he have this subordinate report to you!"

Xue Ye's displeasure slightly faded, "Hmph, at least he has some manners of the royal line, go, let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty Xue Ye!"

After responding, the guard quickly left...

Within minutes, Prince Xue Beng stepped into the grand hall...

Following that, he appropriately bent at the waist, "This son pays his respects to Father Emperor!"

However, Xue Ye did not respond...

Expecting this, Prince Xue Beng still maintained his posture!

Seconds later, Xue Ye's gaze flickered, then he commanded, "Lift your head!"

He had thought this son of his wholly lacked manners, just a profligate...

Yet why did he not seem like the rumors today?

With permission, Prince Xue Beng proceeded to lift his head!

Xue Ye continued, inquiring, "Xue Beng, have you not always been at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? What made you think to see me today?"

Xue Beng did not rush to answer the question, "Father Emperor, I have always felt ashamed for not visiting you..."

But before he could finish, Xue Ye cut him off with a sharp look, and then loudly questioned, "Hmph, was it that fellow Xue Xing who sent you?"

He had hoped to deduce something from the other's actions by leveraging his imperial authority...

However, the result took him by surprise!

Prince Xue Beng showed no sign of fear and responded calmly, "Father Emperor, why would you say that?"

"This son merely wanted to visit you from the bottom of his heart; it has nothing to do with Uncle!"

He could not help but smile wryly in his heart...

It seemed because of his poor reputation at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Father Emperor held a very bad impression of him!

Otherwise, he would not have said such probing words!

This scene caused Xue Ye to narrow his eyes slightly…

This child…

Completely different from the rumors, not even showing a trace of panic under his direct pressure!

Could it be that there is some compelling hardship?

Seeing the other party remaining silent, Xue Beng also felt a moment of unease, "Father Emperor?"

"If my presence displeases you, then I shall leave!"

Having said that and signaling as such, he prepared to leave…

It had been a long time since he last saw his Father Emperor, and trying to make him change his attitude on the first meeting was definitely difficult!

But at least he didn't want to provoke the other's aversion!

Xue Ye came back to his senses and said emotionlessly, "Stop right there, are you planning to leave just like that, not taking me seriously?"

Even though the words were reproachful, there wasn't the slightest hint of disgust!

Xue Beng paused, "Your son would not dare!!"

Xue Ye then continued, "Xue Beng, it's been quite a while since we last met, hasn't it?"

Xue Beng nodded, "Yes, Father Emperor, ever since my brothers were assassinated, to avoid causing trouble, I have stayed at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Xue Ye smiled meaningfully, "Avoiding trouble? But how has it come to my ears that you, using the identity of a Prince, act tyrannically at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, not even regarding your teachers?"

He had thought that Xue Beng would offer excuses, but he directly addressed the issue!

"Father Emperor, regarding these rumors, they are indeed true!"

This time, it was Xue Ye's turn to be startled…

…

Within a week or two, Tang Wulin learned a lot of Mecha techniques from Ling Wuyue, and his own strength improved by leaps and bounds…

Ling Wuyue's gaze was fixed on Tang Wulin, saying seriously, "Alright, Tang Wulin, your Mecha skill now isn't much less than mine, let's end the instruction here."

During these past few weeks, she had personally witnessed Tang Wulin transform from a Mecha novice into a true Mecha Master!

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and thought quietly, "It's… over? I still need some time to get used to this idea!"

He had grown accustomed to practicing with Ling Wuyue in the Star Dou Battle Network every day, and suddenly hearing that his skills had caught up with hers, he felt somewhat surreal…

Then, he seriously replied, "Thank you for your instruction over this period, Chief Ling! Otherwise, my Mecha skills wouldn't have improved so rapidly!"

Ling Wuyue pursed her lips, "The rapid improvement in your Mecha skills comes from your own talent; all of this is merely a transaction!"

He was to Forging Battle Armor for her, and she was teaching him Mecha knowledge, this was agreed upon from the start!

Tang Wulin slightly pressed his thin lips together, "No matter what, Chief Ling, you are still considered half a teacher to me, the transaction is just a secondary matter!"

Ling Wuyue's Beautiful Eyes shone for a moment, speaking indifferently, "Don't say these pleasing words, how long do you plan to take to Forging the Battle Armor you promised me?"

Although she didn't want to acknowledge it, in her heart, she had already regarded him as a friend…

Hearing this, Tang Wulin confidently said, "As long as the Chief gathers the necessary materials, I can start at any time!"

To him, Two-Word Battle Armor was almost no longer a challenge; he could start Forging at any time!

Ling Wuyue nodded slightly, "That's good to hear, I will collect the materials when I return, and I'll hand them over to you in a few days! If the finished product isn't up to standard, I won't let you off the hook!"

She paused, then added, "By the way, if we meet in the Mecha competition, let's both go all out!"

With his current Mecha skills, he should at least be able to make it into the top ten in this competition area!

That means, it's very likely they will meet!

By saying this in advance, whether they win or lose, neither side would have any psychological burden!

"Chief Ling, I will!"
