Capítulo 3722: 3568
Prince Xue Xing still wanted to explain, trying to change Lord Xue Beng's image in Xue Ye's eyes, "This may be because the child Xue Beng has unspeakable difficulties, he is not …"
However, before he could finish, he was impatiently interrupted by Xue Ye...
"Enough, Xue Xing. I know you are fond of that child Xue Beng, but no matter what, he is just a profligate, simply not the material to be an emperor!"
"Instead of wasting time and energy on Xue Beng, how much better it would be to concentrate on Qing He!!"
Xue Xing also widened his eyes, somewhat incredulous that these words were actually spoken by the former...
Prince Xue Beng had suffered an assassination attempt!
Xue Ye not only showed no sign of consolation, but even told one to pay more attention to Qing He!
This was no longer ordinary favoritism!
Thinking this, he bit his lip, "Your Majesty, the words you are saying are too harsh, completely neglecting Xue Beng's status as a prince, especially since he has just encountered an assassination..."
Xue Ye slammed down fiercely, berating, "How dare you, when is it your turn to question my decisions?"
"Since you have such a big problem with Qing He, I don't expect you to be able to help much, just take good care of Xue Beng, and prevent him from further disgracing the royal household's reputation, that's all!"
If it weren't confirmed that Xue Beng was his own flesh and blood, he really would start to doubt if he truly was of the former's lineage!
The meaning was very clear, and Xue Xing had no intention of defending himself...
Just with a face full of sarcasm said, "Very well... very good indeed, Your Majesty, since you insist on being obstinate, then excuse me for being unable to communicate with you, I shall take my leave first!"
Having said that, he also stormed off with a flick of his sleeve, quickly leaving the palace...
Watching as the other party left without looking back, Xue Ye then coldly scolded, "That Prince Xue Xing, truly opposing me at every turn. Can he not see how outstanding that child Qing He is?"
"He's not at all comparable to Xue Beng!"
For a moment, his disdain extended to Xue Beng as well...
However, a Daijin who had witnessed the entire conversation bowed and said, "Your Majesty, weren't the words you said before a bit too malicious? Even if Lord Xue Beng is incompetent, he is still Your Majesty's prince!"
"Not to mention he was the victim of an assassination attempt yesterday, his spirit must be injured, and he needs consolation now!"
Xue Ye glared at the former, "Wasn't the assassination unsuccessful? Besides, he is just a wastrel. The fact that I allowed him to continue holding the title of prince is already an extraordinary grace!"
"Could it be that you, like that muddle-headed Prince Xue Xing, also have objections to the Crown Prince?"
The former quickly shook his head, indicating, "This… I have no objections. Compared to Lord Xue Beng, the Crown Prince is indeed more promising, and will surely be able to manage the entire Tiandou Empire as well as you in the future!"
"But I believe, if Your Majesty entirely ignores the assassination attempt on Lord Xue Beng, it might affect your reputation!"
Xue Ye unexpectedly did not argue but seriously stroked his chin, "Hmm… indeed, that's true. Go, immediately send some tonics to Xue Beng and then go soothe him!"
This minister was a bit stunned, "Your Majesty, don't you intend to see Lord Xue Beng yourself?"
Xue Ye rejected the suggestion without hesitation, "There is no need. I feel displeased just looking at that child!"
"Just do as I have told you. Do you understand??"
Where would the former dare to say anything more? He quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty. I will send someone to soothe Lord Xue Beng's emotions right away!"
It seems His Majesty has made up his mind to abandon Lord Xue Beng, showing not the slightest sign of concern...
But then again, why worry about these matters as a mere subordinate!
...
And so, several days hurried by...
Seven Treasures Glaze Sect also received a message from Hao Tian Clan...
"Report to Sect Master, Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, just now, someone from Hao Tian Clan came to deliver a message!!"
Gu Rong and Chen Xin remained unmoved, but only Ning Fengzhi said, "After waiting for so many days, it seems Hao Tian Clan has also made its decision!!"
Much slower than I anticipated, but perhaps that's due to Sect Master Tang Xiao's absence.
Then he continued, "Tell us, what exactly did the envoy from Hao Tian Clan say?"
The former nodded and answered, "According to those sent by Hao Tian Clan, they've had a discussion and decided to cancel the assassination of the Martial Soul Hall's Saint Heir, Xu Sheng!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, unsurprised by this outcome, "Indeed, Hao Tian Clan has made the right choice!"
However, the disciple hesitated a bit and added, "But Hao Tian Clan has a condition..."
Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed slightly, "A condition? What condition?"
The former swallowed nervously and reported cautiously, "Sect Master, they wish for the Crown Prince of Tiandou Empire to personally introduce Xu Sheng and arrange a meeting to express their apologies!"
Hearing this, Chen Xin expressed some skepticism, "Hao Tian Clan's elders actually want to meet Xu Sheng? Something doesn't feel right!"
Gu Rong was also distrustful of their intentions, "Are those fellows truly giving up on assassinating Xu Sheng, or could this be a ploy to seize the opportunity to eliminate him!"
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, "We can't rule out that possibility, but if Hao Tian Clan genuinely wishes to reconcile with Xu Sheng, we can't pretend to turn a blind eye to their gesture!"
Seeing his reaction, Chen Xin pressed on, "Feng Zhi, according to your judgment, should we agree to the terms proposed by Hao Tian Clan's elders?"
Ning Fengzhi sighed, "I am not entirely sure myself, this might require consulting Qing He. If he is unwilling, it's not appropriate to force him!"
Gu Rong agreed, "Indeed, even though the Crown Prince has some relationship with Xu Sheng, it's not certain that he would take such a great risk to meet with Hao Tian Clan and the others!"
"Because of the assassination attempt, he probably doesn't have a good impression of the upper three families!"
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, then turned to the disciple before him and ordered, "Go and call Qing He over!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Not long after the former departed, Xue Qinghe walked in...
He bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher, Sword Douluo Senior, Bone Douluo Senior!"
Only then did Ning Fengzhi speak, "Qing He, I called you here because I have a matter I'd like to discuss with you!"
Xue Qinghe was a bit puzzled but continued, "May I ask what issue Teacher wishes to discuss with Qing He?"
Ning Fengzhi didn't conceal anything and replied truthfully, "Just now, we received word from Hao Tian Clan. They are willing to abandon their plan to assassinate Xu Sheng, but it requires you, as the Crown Prince, to introduce Xu Sheng for a personal meeting!"
"This may transform hostility into peace, yet the decision rests with you!"
