Chapter 3858: Chapter 3706
Xue Xing looked at Du Gu Bo and nodded heavily...
"Indeed, I plan to let Xue Beng stop hiding himself and boldly display his talent!!"
Du Gu Bo's pupils abruptly narrowed, "But if that's the case, Lord Xue Beng will definitely be targeted for assassination!"
Most importantly, if he shows off his talent, Xue Beng will inevitably have to frequent the imperial palace, greatly increasing the risk!
Xue Xing pursed his lips, "I am well aware of this, hence, this will be a very bold proposal!"
He knew all too well the immense danger Xue Beng would be in by doing so, but constantly hiding would only make things worse!
Du Gu Bo furrowed his brow, trying again to reassure, "Prince Xue Xing, I suggest you think it over thoroughly. You have made so many preparations to protect Xue Beng; should anything unforeseen happen, it might all fall apart."
"And then, no one would be able to interfere with Qing He's succession to the throne."
However, Xue Xing changed the subject, "Poison Douluo, you have been following me for many years now, haven't you?"
Du Gu Bo was startled for a moment, "Hmm, from when I started following you, it has indeed been several decades!"
He had saved my life by coincidence, and to repay this kindness, I decided to protect him for the rest of my life!
Xue Beng spoke up again, "Over the years, I have survived amidst this chaotic situation thanks to your constant protection!!"
He had no doubt that without Du Gu Bo's protection, he would have likely been assassinated years ago!
Du Gu Bo seemed to sense something, "Prince Xue Xing, why are you suddenly saying all this?"
Xue Beng's gaze flickered, staring intently at him, and said word by word, "If you, Poison Douluo, are still willing to uphold your original promise, then I hope that from today onwards, you will take responsibility for protecting the child, Xue Beng!"
Unquestionably, this proposal was rejected by Du Gu Bo, "What?? No, if I leave your side, your situation will also become very dangerous!"
Xue Xing was a prince indeed, but his situation was not optimistic either!
Xue Xing took a deep breath, "Poison Douluo, Xue Beng is to me what a son would be, so... I earnestly beg you to protect him!"
As long as Xue Beng remains alive, it would not be easy for Qing He to become the emperor of Tiandou Empire in the future!
Seeing his expression, Du Gu Bo fell silent...
To be asked to personally protect Xue Beng, to be honest, was somewhat hard to accept!
After all, he was also a Titled Douluo Level powerhouse!
Du Gu Bo still tried in the end to dissuade him, "Prince Xue Xing, do you really need to go this far for Xue Beng?"
Xue Xing did not speak, but his expression said it all...
At this stage, Du Gu Bo knew that no amount of persuasion could change his mind, and reluctantly closed his eyes...
"Alright, I understand!"
At last, Xue Xing felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, "Thank you!!"
No matter what, having Poison Douluo's protection greatly increased the safety!
As for himself, it did not matter anymore!
...
After returning from the Imperial Palace Great Hall to his own palace!
Qian Renxue recounted the events to Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo!
At once, intense murderous intent flared in both of their eyes!
Porcupine Douluo: "Damn it, that Xue Beng should have stayed put in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but he dared to head to the imperial palace, does he really think we wouldn't dare to kill him?"
Serpent Spear Douluo: "Exactly. If the guy had just stayed in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, relying on Du Gu Bo and those old teachers, he might have been able to save his little life, but now that he dares to leave, it's no longer up to him!"
Qian Renxue saw their eager expressions and suddenly questioned, "What are you planning to do?"
The two exchanged glances, not concealing their thoughts in the least, "Of course, it's to eliminate this threat for you, Holy Daughter. Without Xue Beng, you are sure to become the emperor of the Tiandou Empire in the future!!"
Qian Renxue's eyes turned icy as she rebuked, "No way!!"
Serpent Spear Douluo clenched his fists, clearly not quite understanding, "Holy Daughter, this is the best opportunity to get rid of Xue Beng. If we hesitate, who knows if he will hide again in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy next time!"
Porcupine Douluo echoed, "Yes, Holy Daughter, as long as both Serpent Spear and I take action, even the Title Douluo lurking in the imperial palace wouldn't be able to detect our presence!"
Qian Renxue felt somewhat helpless but still patiently explained, "You are all blinded by your desire to kill!"
"That Xue Beng dares to enter the imperial palace, clearly unafraid of our moves, surely he has a contingency!!!"
"Perhaps we really could slay him here, but, his coincidental death will also remind Xue Ye that there may indeed be something wrong with me!!"
By then, not to mention letting me inherit the throne, Xue Ye might be guarding against me at all times!
Upon hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo felt a sudden chill on their backs...
"Does that Xue Beng really have the audacity to use his own life to expose our weaknesses?"
Qian Renxue stated with absolute certainty, "I had my suspicions, but after encountering him in the Great Hall that day, I can be sure of one thing, this guy is definitely not afraid of death!!"
Those rumors circulating within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, indeed, they are rumors!
Or rather, they are his disguise!
At this moment, Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo completely discarded the thoughts in their hearts...
However, the former still cautiously asked, "Then Holy Daughter, what should we do next? We can't just let that Xue Beng keep contacting Xue Ye, right? In case he wins the latter's favor over you, I'm afraid…"
Qian Renxue clearly sensed the doubt in the words, "What? You think that Xue Beng might perform better than my act as Xue Qinghe?"
Serpent Spear Douluo was taken aback, waving his hands quickly, "No, Holy Daughter, I did not mean that at all!"
That mere Xue Beng, an insignificant fellow, how could he possibly compare with the Holy Daughter!
Qian Renxue withdrew her gaze, "Nevertheless... leaving Xue Beng unattended here will indeed affect my plans!"
Upon hearing this, Porcupine Douluo patted his chest, saying, "Holy Daughter, what do you wish to do? Serpent Spear and I will certainly cooperate with you!"
Qian Renxue turned around, her voice grave, "Although we can't directly kill Xue Beng, it is still possible to bring him some trouble!"
"For example, starting with the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo instantly got the hint...
Causing trouble for Xue Beng was a trivial matter!!
Immediately, they replied, "Rest assured, Holy Daughter, we will personally arrange it, to bring some trouble to this Xue Beng!!"
Inside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, there were also people from the Martial Soul Hall, and not just a few!!!
