บท 240: Chapter 132 Xingluo Anomalies_1
"Fine, it's just one acre of medicine field, I'll give it to you."
Qin Xiao's response was affirmative.
In fact, after the Immortal Herbs of the Icefire Polarized Eyes were taken away, he no longer placed much importance on this place.
After all, he was not like Du Gu Bo, who had a hobby of making poison and concocting medicine, typical of someone who couldn't live without a medicine field.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to be so sentimental and righteous, young man."
Hearing this, Du Gu Bo couldn't help but tease.
Qin Xiao huffed irritably, "Stop talking nonsense, let's save the person."
"Don't worry, I, Du Gu Bo, will take care of this. With this girl in my hands, even if she wants to die, it would be difficult."
"You just wait here for me a moment, I'll go prepare the antidote and be right back."
Having said that, Du Gu Bo hurriedly left.
...
Elsewhere.
Star Luo Imperial City.
Within the Imperial Palace Hall, the Star Luo Emperor was reviewing the latest memorials when suddenly, he heard a hasty rush of footsteps outside the hall.
An attendant rushed into the great hall without waiting for the Star Luo Emperor to inquire and urgently said, "Your Majesty, there's a letter from the Third Prince."
The third one?
Mubai?
The Star Luo Emperor's eyebrows rose, and he snorted authoritatively, "This coward who lacks courage, has he finally deigned to write to his old man?"
"Bring it here."
As his voice fell, the attendant stepped forward and respectfully handed the letter to the Star Luo Emperor.
The Star Luo Emperor took the letter from the envelope and glanced at it only twice before he seemed to turn to stone.
[Dear Father Emperor:
By the time you read this letter, I should already be dead....]
Just two lines of text had a shocking impact on the Star Luo Emperor's soul.
"Dead?!"
"How could he possibly be dead, who dares to kill my son!"
The Star Luo Emperor's eyes reddened with immense rage.
However, he wanted to know what exactly had happened and thus, despite the rage in his heart, continued to read.
Gradually, the Star Luo Emperor's whole body started to tremble.
He had come to understand the cause and effect.
According to Dai Mubai's letter, after Zhu Zhuqing found a man outside to support her, she went to force Dai Mubai to dissolve their engagement through force.
Dai Mubai had tried to resist as well.
But the result was tragic.
His fingers were chopped off, and his manhood was ruined by Zhu Zhuqing.
Hence, a resentful Dai Mubai hired a Soul Master to take action against Zhu Zhuqing.
The result...
Must have been a failure.
Because this letter had been written by Dai Mubai in advance. And he had instructed the messenger to deliver this letter to the Star Luo Imperial Palace if no news was received from him within three days.
"Zhu Zhuqing, you indeed have great audacity to collude with outsiders to harm my son.
"Although he is of no great use and is timid and cowardly, he is still my child, a prince of the Xingluo Empire, your betrothed. Even if he were to die in the future, his death should be at the hands of his brother Davis, not in such an unclear and muddled way."
The Star Luo Emperor was filled with immense irritation.
The death of Dai Mubai had dealt him no small shock.
Of course, this shock was not so much of an emotional one, as the Star Luo Emperor was more concerned about the loss of the royal dignity and face.
The prince having his engagement broken off, being discarded, and then dying; frankly speaking, the Xingluo Empire couldn't afford to lose such face.
"It's just that the strength of that man is somewhat troubling..."
"A Titled Douluo-level expert, and not just an ordinary Titled Douluo, such military might is not something the Xingluo Empire can easily provoke."
Gradually, the Star Luo Emperor started to feel troubled again.
Dai Mubai's letter also mentioned this Titled Douluo-level expert called Qin Xiao. Clearly, this was not someone who the Xingluo Empire could easily handle.
"Hmph, Qin Xiao, I may leave you be for now, but this grudge, the Star Luo Royal Family will remember. One day, I will surely make this Qin Xiao pay the price.
"As for now, I can think of a way to collect some interest. Even if I can't directly handle Qin Xiao, I can't let him have an easy time."
After a while, an idea emerged in the Star Luo Emperor's mind.
He turned to the attendant in the lower position and commanded heavily, "Go summon the Grand Duke of Youming. Tell him that I have an important matter to discuss."
"Yes."
The attendant agreed and departed.
After a long while.
Outside the Imperial Palace Hall, a voice arose.
"I greet Your Majesty."
The Star Luo Emperor looked out of the great hall, and saw a handsome middle-aged man waiting reverently.
Without a doubt, this man was the Grand Duke of Youming.
The Clan Leader of the Youming Clan.
"Come in to talk."
The Star Luo Emperor spoke indifferently.
His voice contained immense authority.
The Grand Duke immediately felt a considerable pressure.
He couldn't help muttering to himself, "It seems something significant has happened."
His heart suddenly felt anxious.
Drip, Drip, Drip.
The Grand Duke of Youming took several steps forward and finally entered the great hall.
"You have many questions in your mind, but hold your questions until after you've read this letter," said the Star Luo Emperor as he threw the letter in his hand to the Grand Duke.
Undoubtedly, this letter was in Dai Mubai's own handwriting.
"Yes."
The Grand Duke of Youming answered and opened the letter.
With just the first glance, shock appeared on his face.
"This... this is the suicide note of the Third Prince, Dai Mubai!"
His voice was filled with unrest.
"Heh, Duke, you might want to continue reading," said the Star Luo Emperor, smiling faintly from his throne.
"Yes."
The Grand Duke of Youming continued to read, his expression growing increasingly grim.
"It's actually Zhu Qing..."
He was at a complete loss for words.
"Heh, Duke, you've indeed raised a fine daughter with audacity unlike any other, daring to join forces with outsiders against a prince of the royal family."
