Chapter 75: Xue Qinghe
"Please wait a moment, I will inform His Royal Highness." The maid at the door of the palace bowed slightly and walked inside.
Huo Yuhao and Hu Liena looked at each other and spread their hands helplessly.
"It's really troublesome." said Hu Liena.
"All Imperial family are like this, it is for safety measure."
Hu Liena curled her lips and changed the subject, "Where are we going after delivering the letter?"
Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and said, "We didn't come out to play."
Hu Liena smiled and took Huo Yuhao's hand and shook it, "Fine, then where should we go to find those treasures you mentioned? There has to be a destination, right?"
"Let's go to the Extreme North first and get a soul ring for my second martial soul.."
When the talk was almost over, the maid returned back to them.
"His Royal Highness invites you two to come in for a chat. I will take you in now."
"Thank you very much."
The two followed the maid along a winding path and finally arrived at the so-called study. This study room could be called a small library. It is divided into two floors, and is surrounded by tightly arranged bookshelves with no exposed walls.
As you enter the door from the first floor, you can see a luxurious wooden table in the middle, piled with books. Opposite the desk sits a man about twenty years old, wearing a clean green robe, with long black hair tied behind his head. (TN: Novel description.)
The man raised his head after hearing the noise. When he saw Hu Liena, his eyes flickered slightly and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Although he could not be said to be very handsome, he gave people a kind of affinity of spring. If Yuhao had to say, he felt that his temperament was similar to Ning Fengzhi.
"Just now the maid told me that someone wanted to see me. I was wondering who it was. It turns out that they are two distinguished guests from Spirit Hall. Please forgive me for not being able to come and greet you."
A gentle voice sounded, and the words did not arouse any ill feelings.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat alert. He was very familiar with disguise and makeup due to the Ultimate Soldier Program. He could also see many problems from their eye contact just now. The behavior of the person in front of him was a bit deliberate.
He thought about a possibility but quickly shake it away.
"Your Highness is very busy, and we are the ones who took the liberty of visiting you. We are grateful that you can spare the time to see us."
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and asked Huo Yuhao.
"I wonder what your name is, and what do you want from me?"
"I am just a soul master with a commoner background. Your Highness can just call me Huo Yuhao. Someone entrusted me with this letter to give to Your Highness. Please take a look at it."
Judging from the fact that Xue Qinghe revealed their origins right away, he might have already figured out Hu Liena's identity. Yuhao took out the envelope from the storage tool and handed it to Xue Qinghe. The gold stamping on it was intact, indicating that no one had opened it before.
Seeing the gold stamping on the envelope, Xue Qinghe was slightly stunned. He looked up in surprise and glanced at Huo Yuhao deeply.
"Your Highness, is there a problem?"
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw Xue Qinghe's reaction.
"Nothing, I'll take the letter. Thank you very much for coming from afar. I hope you would accept my hospitality by staying within the palace for a couple of days."
Huo Yuhao was even more confused. Just as he was about to refuse, Xue Qinghe waved his hand.
"Please don't refuse. I think you two have heard that I always value geniuses, and you two are rare young talents, so I naturally want to befriend you."
Huo Yuhao couldn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue. The Crown Prince has already given him much respect. If he refused, it would easily ruin their relationship.
"Then I bother you for the next two days."
Seeing Huo Yuhao compromise, Xue Qinghe nodded with a smile and clapped his hands.
"Come here, arrange two rooms for these two guest."
Soon, a beautiful maid came up to the two of them, bowed, and made a gesture to invite them outside.
"Please follow me, I will take you to your room."
Xue Qinghe also explained, "I still have some important matter to take care of. You two should go to your rooms and get some rest. I will invite you to have a discussion during dinner."
"Okay, Your Highness. We will leave first."
After the two left, Xue Qinghe's face gradually became gloomy. The letter appeared in his hand again, and he gently reached out and touched the special gold stamping on it.
"Huo Yuhao? Bibi Dong, he seem to be the Holy Son that you selected. Its seem that you care a lot about him, if you can do it for him, why don't you do it for me!?"
Fortunately, there was no one else around, otherwise anyone who saw this scene would be shocked. Who would have thought that the current Crown Prince would have such a ferocious expression.

After leaving the hall, Huo Yuhao stretched lazily and glanced casually at the other palace in the distance with his eyes slightly narrowed. He really didn't expect that Hu Liena, the saintess who had hardly ever left Wuhun City, would be recognized by so many people.
In a room on a certain floor of the palace, a green-haired man standing in front of the window's pupils trembled. When he saw that Huo Yuhao had only glanced at him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"I thought I was discovered by this kid."
"Mr. Dugu, I'm counting on you tonight. As long as you succeed, the position of Crown Prince will be mine and I can fulfill our promise."
The middle-aged man in fancy clothes standing beside him was shaking with excitement and did not notice his abnormality.
"Well I will do it, don't worry."
The green-haired man hesitated for a moment but his eyes gradually became firm. As long as he could do it secretly, no one would suspect him.

*Knock knock knock*.
"Excuse me, is Brother Huo here?" A gentle greeting came from outside the door.
The door was quickly opened from the inside.
"Your Highness, you are here. Please come in."
Xue Qinghe nodded and spoke softly as he walked in.
"I have asked the servants to prepare our meal, which will be delivered soon. We can eat in your room. What do you think?"
"It is an honor, Your Highness."
"No need to be so formal. I'm older than you, so you can just call me Brother Xue. Why don't you see Miss Hu with you?"
"She next door. I'll go call her over. Brother Xue, please take a seat first."
Even though it is called a guest room, it an entire suite, with a dining room, bathroom, bedroom, and living room. Before Xue Qinghe could even sit down on the sofa in the living room, Huo Yuhao came back with Hu Liena.
After the three of them sat down, Xue Qinghe said with a smile.
"Since the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall is here, can you clarify about Brother Yuhao's identity?"
