章 93: Chapter 72: Hao Tian Clan Is Shaken, Must Slay the Enemy by Hand (4000)_1
"Good!"
"Then I shall trust you this once,"
Prince Xue Xing said excitedly, "As long as Qin Xiao is dealt with, our future remains promising!"
A trace of cold smirk appeared at the corner of Avalanche's lips, "Hehe, I am also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Xue Qinghe will have when he finds out that the person he tried to win over has been eliminated by the Hao Tian Clan."
Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing also burst into laughter, "Hahaha, it certainly must be very exciting."
However.
In the next moment, their laughter came to an abrupt halt.
"Prince His Highness, Your Majesty has sent someone with an imperial edict."
Outside the door, came the voice of Xue Xing's trusted aide.
"Let them in,"
The complexion of Prince Xue Xing suddenly turned gloomy.
After a long pause.
Xue Xing slowly closed the imperial edict in his hands.
His face was so overcast it seemed as if water might drip from it.
"Uncle Wang, what did father say?"
Avalanche asked cautiously.
Xue Xing said irritably, "What else could it be but the previous matter? I failed to recruit Qin Xiao successfully, and he has stripped me of my authority to manage the Sky Dou Royal Academy. From now on, the Sky Dou Royal Academy will be under the sole control of the Crown Prince."
"What? Father has made his move so soon?"
"Doesn't that mean the entire Sky Dou Royal Academy will become Xue Qinghe's backyard now?"
"If we want to recruit outstanding Soul Masters from within, it's going to be as hard as reaching for the heavens."
A look of disbelief flashed across Avalanche's face.
At the same time, he realized that their future situation would be even more difficult.
After all, at any time, Soul Masters are the true foundation.
"Indeed."
Prince Xue Xing sighed before continuing, "It seems the situation is even worse for my imperial brother, truly intent on clearing the path for Xue Qinghe's ascension to the throne."
"Uncle Wang, should we show father the evidence we've collected over the years? Let him know that it was Xue Qinghe who killed father's other sons." Avalanche's mind began to explore other ideas.
"Hehe, do you think your father will believe it?"
After listening to Avalanche, Xue Xing's heart did not waver, he even felt inclined to laugh, "Besides, even if he does believe it, what difference will it make?"
"What do you mean?"
"I must remind you that the late emperor, your grandfather, my father, initially had more than just my brother and me as his sons, but what about now?"
At these words, Avalanche's pupils shrank suddenly, a chill running down his spine, "Do you mean..."
"All I'm saying is, don't be too naive. The struggle for power within the royal household is ruthless; to vie for the throne and have some deaths is quite normal. As long as someone can eventually sit on the throne, that's all that matters."
Prince Xue Xing looked meaningfully at Avalanche as he spoke gravely.
Hiss...
Avalanche couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air.
Only then did he realize that reality was more cruel than he had imagined.
"Go now, you're to spread the word quickly. But remember, do not let anyone know that you're the one disseminating the information to avoid bringing trouble upon yourself."
"I also need to extract the roots I've established over the years in the Sky Dou Royal Academy; I can't let them simply benefit Xue Qinghe for nothing."
After giving his instructions, Xue Xing waved his hand dismissively.
Avalanche nodded, turned, and left.
...
Night fell.
"Madam, are you asleep?"
At the door of Tang Yuehua's Yue Xuan, came the voice asking.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua, who was seated at her table, frowned slightly. She recognized that the speaker was the steward of Yue Xuan.
"Come in,"
She responded indifferently.
Creak.
The next moment, the steward in purple clothing gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Tang Yuehua asked in a flat tone: "What matter is so important that you need to see me at this time?"
"There are two important matters,"
The Purple-Clothed Steward began, "The young man named Qin Xiao that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe entertained the other day is a member of Shrek Academy."
"I see; there are rumors that Shrek Academy harbors powerful individuals, so Qin Xiao must have an unusual relationship with that mighty person. Otherwise, how could Xue Qinghe let down his royal pride to win him over?"
Tang Yuehua understood suddenly.
"What about the second matter?"
She asked promptly.
Upon hearing this, a difficult expression crossed the face of her steward, "The second matter is also related to this Qin Xiao. There are rumors that on the night of Titan's death, his grandson Tailong had a dispute with someone, and that person was Qin Xiao."
"In that case, the Clan of Strength's destruction might very well be related to Qin Xiao!" Tang Yuehua displayed a moved expression.
In reality, Yue Xuan had also been investigating this matter and unexpectedly received this news so quickly.
Suddenly, Tang Yuehua noticed something was amiss with the steward's expression.
Her lips parted slightly, "Is there something else you haven't said yet?"
The steward spoke with some difficulty, "Madam, you may not be aware, but the word outside now is that it was this Qin Xiao who killed Titan and his family."
"What? How is that possible?"
Tang Yuehua was initially shocked, but soon shook her head, "Titan himself was an eighty-sixth ranked Soul Douluo, also known as one of the rarer powerful beings on Soul Land. How old is Qin Xiao?
Even if he is a genius, at most he's a Soul Ancestor, right? Even if he were a Soul King, he wouldn't stand a chance against Titan.
Not to mention Titan, even his son Tainuo would be out of Qin Xiao's reach. Moreover, someone has already examined Titan's wounds; he had only one wound all over his body, which indicated he was instantly killed."
The steward said with a wry smile, "Madam, that's exactly what I think, but this is what's being spread outside..."
Tang Yuehua frowned then, "You've managed Yue Xuan for more than a year or two now; you should have your own judgment, and not just echo others' words."
