บท 2956: Chapter 2941: Hatred_1

Xue Qinghe's eyes lit up, "Oh? So it seems, Chief Tang Xuan, your relationship with Tang Hao..."

But he stopped abruptly at this point, without continuing.

Tang Yuehua just managed a stiff smile, "Crown Prince, there's no need to mind. Tang Hao has already been expelled from the Hao Tian Clan. Technically, he is no longer considered my brother..."

"The only reason I agreed to accept Tang San into the Moon Pavilion was in remembrance of the past!"

Xue Qinghe pursed his lips slightly, "Has the relationship between Tang Hao and Chief Tang Xuan deteriorated? That would be advantageous for Martial Soul Hall."

Of course, he did not show it...

After chatting for a while longer, a soldier from the Tiandou Empire barged in...

Bowing with a fist clasped, he said, "Chief Tang Xuan, I apologize for the intrusion!"

Then he addressed Xue Qinghe, "Crown Prince, could it be that you've forgotten? You are scheduled to meet with His Majesty the Emperor next!"

Xue Qinghe pretended to hesitate, but ultimately he stood up, "Thankfully you reminded me, I nearly forgot about it!"

"Chief Tang Xuan, let's end our meeting for today then. I must return to the imperial palace now!"

Tang Yuehua did not insist on him staying. Standing up, she echoed, "Safe travels, Crown Prince. If you have any more questions about the art of tea, feel free to visit me anytime!"

She knew Xue Qinghe's character well. He would definitely not forget an important meeting with Xue Ye. Perhaps he was just looking for an excuse to leave!

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly and then left with the soldier from the Tiandou Empire.

Only when he was completely out of sight did Tang Yuehua finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Sighing, she remarked, "The Crown Prince's talent is truly extraordinary. It hasn't been long, yet looking at his face, I could not discern any emotion, let alone guess his inner thoughts!"

As the Chief of the Moon Pavilion, this was a bit of a blow to her pride!

Yet just as her words fell, a teacher from the Moon Pavilion walked in...

Respectfully reporting, "Chief Tang Xuan, I have selected some outstanding noble scions to stay and learn at Moon Pavilion. Please, go and have a look at them yourself!"

Tang Yuehua glanced sideways, dismissively waving her hand, "There's no need. You go and arrange the etiquette class schedule for them right away. From today on, they will officially become students of the Moon Pavilion!"

She believed in the judgement of the one she had personally taught!!

However, the person did not leave...

Tang Yuehua asked again, "What is it? Is there something else?"

The teacher nodded affirmatively, "Mm, Princess Xue Ke has not visited the Moon Pavilion for quite a long time; I'm afraid the incident last time has left a shadow on her!"

"Do you think we should..."

Without the presence of Xue Ke and Xue Qinghe as banner figures, the number of noble scions who would wish to learn at the Moon Pavilion would decrease significantly!

More importantly, the standing of the Moon Pavilion would suffer a serious decline!

Tang Yuehua seemed to have realized something, "Mm, this matter does indeed need special attention, but let's wait for Princess Xue Ke to cool down for a while."

"After that, I will personally go to the imperial palace to invite her!"

With that answer, the other did not say more, "Then I leave this matter in your capable hands, Chief!"

...

Inside the Tiandou Empire Palace!

Looking at the Serpent Spear Douluo, who had disappeared for a few days, the Porcupine Douluo couldn't help but voice his puzzlement, "Serpent Spear, where have you been? Just to relay a message, there was no need to take several days, was there?"

The Serpent Spear Douluo gave him a cold glance, "Obviously. But I did not go just to relay a message to the Grand Elder!"

Porcupine Douluo's interest was immediately piqued as he asked, "Oh? Let's hear it!"

The Serpent Spear Douluo, however, curled his lip dismissively, "What's there to listen to? Where is the Holy Daughter?"

Without hesitation, Porcupine Douluo answered, "The Holy Daughter has gone to the Moon Pavilion. Judging by the time, she should be almost back!"

"After all, she has to go to the hall tomorrow to meet Xue Ye!"

"Alright, stop beating around the bush. What exactly did you go to do?"

Serpent Spear Douluo continued to brush it off, "Nothing much, just did some tasks for the Grand Elder!"

Porcupine Douluo was somewhat dissatisfied with his companion, "You, my friend, after all these years of friendship, you won't even tell me!"

Serpent Spear Douluo hesitated for a moment, "It's not that I can't tell you, it's just that I was thinking of waiting until the Holy Daughter arrives to explain everything at once!"

Porcupine Douluo immediately moved closer, putting an arm around his shoulders and urging him, "Come on, forget about all that! Just tell me!!"

Serpent Spear Douluo, having no choice, went ahead and told him the specifics...

After listening, Porcupine Douluo recoiled a few steps in shock, "No, no way? The Grand Elder is actually interested in such matters, hiss..."

Serpent Spear Douluo shrugged his shoulders, "When I first heard it, I also didn't expect the Grand Elder to harbor such deep hatred for Tang Hao and his son, to the extent of resorting to such methods!"

"But then it made sense later. If it weren't for Tang Hao gravely injuring Qian Xun Ji, Bi Bidong wouldn't have had the chance to kill him and take over the position of Pope."

Porcupine Douluo calmed down a bit, "You're right, but since you've rushed back, does that mean you've brought Tang San to the Worship Hall?"

A slight smile formed on the corner of Serpent Spear Douluo's mouth, "Indeed, it seems the young man holds a grudge for being expelled from Moon Pavilion, so leveraging him should not be difficult!"

He, too, was looking forward to the spectacle of Tang Hao and his son fighting each other!

The next second, they sensed the aura of Xue Qinghe...

But they did not choose to hide since they did not sense anyone else's presence...

Upon entering, Xue Qinghe immediately spotted Serpent Spear Douluo's figure, her tone revealing a hint of surprise, "Serpent Spear Douluo? You're back?"

Serpent Spear Douluo looked directly at her, "Yes, Your Holiness the Holy Daughter!"

"However, there is something I believe I must inform Your Holiness about!"

Xue Qinghe waved her hand dismissively, "There's no need; I already know. Porcupine Douluo has already conveyed the message through spiritual power."

"It's just that I didn't expect my grandfather to resort to such despicable methods!"

To tell the truth, she was already extremely disgusted with the covert substitution and infiltration at the top of the Tiandou Empire Palace that had replaced Xue Qinghe!

Serpent Spear Douluo quickly explained, "Holy Daughter, I think there is nothing wrong with what the Grand Elder did. He was simply seeking revenge for your father, the former Pope!"

Porcupine Douluo agreed, "Indeed, if not for Tang Hao, you would not have lost your father!"

Xue Qinghe raised her hand to stop them from continuing, "I know, it's just that I'm not very willing to use such methods. I could completely wait until I become a Title Douluo and then kill him in a duel myself!"

She believed that her talent was far beyond what Tang San could compare with!

Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo exchanged a glance, both falling into silence...

It seemed they had come to understand her point...

Then, Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, "However, since grandfather has already decided to do this, I will not stop him, after all, he is the child of the man who killed my father!"
