Capítulo 272: Chapter 148 Rumor, Qin Xiao Really Died_1
However, even though Sword Douluo had some unpleasant suspicions, he still asked Flander, "Where is Qin Xiao? Is he still in the academy?"
Looking for His Majesty the Thunder Emperor... Flander felt a shiver in his heart; a bad premonition also began to emerge.
"Your Highness, His Majesty the Thunder Emperor is not in the academy, and as for where he went, I am not clear," Flander replied truthfully.
"He's really not here!"
Upon receiving Flander's affirmative response, Sword Douluo's eyelids twitched violently.
More and more, he believed his previous conjecture.
That is, something had happened to Qin Xiao.
And his life or death was unknown.
"Grandpa Sword, why have you come?"
Just as Sword Douluo was lost in thought, a startled cry came from behind him.
Turning around slowly, Ning Rongrong ran from a distance.
Soon, she was in front of Sword Douluo.
Huff huff huff huff...
The girl was panting heavily.
"Take it easy, take it easy, I'm not going to leave right away, what are you rushing for?" Sword Douluo shook his head as he put aside his anxiety and said with a smile to Ning Rongrong.
"Hee hee, isn't it just because I'm too happy to see you?" Ning Rongrong giggled.
"You..." Sword Douluo shook his head helplessly, "Then why don't you come back to visit me at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?"
"Hee hee, I've been busy..." Ning Rongrong's lie was exposed, and she scratched her head awkwardly.
Sword Douluo said in a low voice, "Let's go, it's not often that I'm here, so you come back to the sect with me. It's a good chance for me to see if your cultivation level has made any progress."
The truth cannot be concealed forever.
If Ning Rongrong continued to stay in the academy, it wouldn't take long for her to receive the news that something had happened to Qin Xiao.
Given Ning Rongrong's feelings for Qin Xiao, it would be truly cruel if she found out.
"Grandpa Sword, can I not go back?" Ning Rongrong pouted.
Qin Xiao was elusive, and she had hardly seen him a few times. Was she supposed to leave just like that?
"Rongrong, you come back to the sect with us first, and in a few days, you can come out again," said Ning Fengzhi, whose voice resounded at the scene.
Ning Rongrong followed the voice and saw not only Ning Fengzhi but also Bone Douluo had come.
"Eh, what day is it today? Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone are both away from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?" Ning Rongrong was very curious.
She sensed something unusual.
Normally, either the Bone Douluo or the Sword Douluo must stay at the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"Your Grandpa Sword is here to pick you up, and I'm going to enter the imperial palace with your Grandpa Bone to see Qinghe," Ning Fengzhi quickly gave the answer.
By now, he had also stopped holding out hope.
In his view, Qin Xiao must have encountered some misfortune.
He knew that Xue Qinghe had been able to ascend to the throne largely thanks to Qin Xiao, and their relationship was far from simple.
Therefore, with such a significant event happening to Qin Xiao, he believed he should inform Xue Qinghe.
To allow Xue Qinghe to prepare.
"So that's it," Ning Rongrong nodded in understanding.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi added, "By the way, I wonder if Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran are still around. You go and invite them to be guests at our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
He knew about Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran; Ning Rongrong had said their relationship with Qin Xiao was exceptionally unusual.
And Qin Xiao had many enemies; no one could guarantee that these people, upon hearing the news of Qin Xiao's death, might not strike at those close to him.
To protect people like Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran, Ning Fengzhi planned to bring the two ladies back to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect first.
However,
After listening to Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong spread her hands, "I'm sorry, but I saw Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran leave the academy with President Liu earlier. Oh, and Poison Douluo was with them too, not sure what they were up to."
"What?"
"They left with Poison Douluo?" Sword Douluo frowned.
Afterward, his face looked quite grim as he turned to Ning Fengzhi and transmitted his voice secretly, "Sect Master, could it be that Du Gu Bo has already noticed something about Qin Xiao's situation? I remember that Du Gu Bo had once helped Prince Xue Xing suppress the newcomers from Shrek at the Sky Dou Royal Academy, and in the end, it was Qin Xiao who took on everything..."
It was quite simple.
Sword Douluo thought it was very likely that Du Gu Bo had noticed some clues and had already made a move against those close to Qin Xiao.
Of course,
That kind of thought was normal.
After all, the relationship between Qin Xiao and Du Gu Bo was very secretive.
Only a few people, such as Meng Yiran, Zhu Zhuqing, and Liu Erlong, knew that Du Gu Bo was Qin Xiao's confidant.
In contrast, Ning Fengzhi also understood Sword Douluo's idea, "Uncle Jian, you take Rongrong back to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect first, and then look into Poison Douluo's whereabouts."
"Good."
Sword Douluo nodded, gestured to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, let's go."
Ning Rongrong tilted her head, "What about dad?"
After hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Ning Fengzhi covered his complex emotions with a smile, "Have you forgotten? I'm going into the imperial palace to discuss some matters with Qinghe."
"Oh. I see..."
Ning Rongrong nodded, indicating she understood.
...
The Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
A shadow silently landed in front of Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, "Porcupine Elder, you've worked hard."
"It was no trouble," the Porcupine Douluo shook his head.
Qian Renxue then asked, "Elder, during your trip, did you manage to see clearly who was fighting?"
Upon hearing this, Porcupine Douluo's old face reddened, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Young Master. When I got there, the great battle had already ended, and before I could continue to investigate, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi came with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, among others. Left with no choice, I had to retreat for the time being."
