I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 75: Various Dynamics, Tang Hao's Heart

"What has happened?"

"Would you please speak up?"

Prince Xue Xing asked with a grave voice.

He was also somewhat anxious. Seeing the return of Xue Beng, he had already guessed that something problematic had occurred.

However, this matter still needed confirmation.

"Royal Uncle, something terrible has happened," Xue Beng finally spoke after organizing his thoughts.

"Clack."

Prince Xue Xing's heart suddenly sank.

"Is it related to Qin Xiao?"

He vaguely guessed what had happened.

Apart from Qin Xiao, what else could have caused such a drastic change in Xue Beng?

Without hesitation, Xue Beng shared the news he had just received, "I just got word that an elder of the Haotian Sect has fled, and another elder is suspected to be under Qin Xiao's control."

"What! How could such a thing happen?"

"Even with two Title Douluo-level experts from the Haotian Sect, they couldn't subdue Qin Xiao alone?"

Prince Xue Xing spoke in disbelief.

To him, this was simply unbelievable.

He had considered the possibility of complications, but never imagined something this serious.

"Yes, I never dreamed such a turn of events could happen," Xue Beng said bitterly after the shock.

In fact, he felt more despair.

Even the elders of the Haotian Sect had failed. What could they possibly do?

"Is there no one who can handle this Qin Xiao?"

In the end, he looked at Prince Xue Xing, seeking help.

But Prince Xue Xing's eyes had already lost their luster, deep in shock.

"Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao has such great abilities. We really misjudged him," Prince Xue Xing shook his head after a long while, full of sighs and admiration.

Even standing in opposition to Qin Xiao, he couldn't help but acknowledge his strength.

"He's like a mystery, just when we think we understand him, he brings us new surprises."

After listening to Xue Beng, he said with a mournful face, "A surprise? I think it's a scare. With such a strong enemy, I can't rest easy."

"Royal Uncle, please give us some advice. What should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Xue Xing gave a four-word answer: "Wait and see."

"Wait and see? Are we just going to wait and do nothing?"

Xue Beng asked unwillingly.

In contrast, Prince Xue Xing smiled, "Then tell me, what can you do? I'd like to hear."

Ah, this...

Xue Beng opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

He was clear about his own capabilities.

Without the full support of Prince Xue Xing, he was nothing.

At this time, Prince Xue Xing said, "Have someone closely monitor the situation. I think the Haotian Sect, as the number one sect in the world, even if it was once, would care about its reputation. This matter won't end easily."

"When the time comes, we will find an opportunity to act."

Xue Beng nodded, "Understood."

Tian Dou Imperial Palace.

In the Crown Prince's chamber.

"Young Master, may I know why you have summoned me?"

A red-haired elder respectfully asked Xue Qinghe.

His address for Xue Qinghe was unusual, not as the crown prince or 'Your Highness,' indicating his very special status.

"Elder Ci Tun, I need your help with something," Xue Qinghe said indifferently, turning to the elder.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe was no longer the gentle and elegant person but exuded a coldness that kept others at a distance.

Besides, there was a sense of superiority, looking down on all beings.

"Young Master, please command."

In contrast, the venerable Title Douluo-level elder of the Spirit Hall, Ci Tun Douluo, didn't find any issue with Xue Qinghe's attitude and responded respectfully.

"Some days ago, a young Title Douluo powerhouse arrived in the Tian Dou Empire, you should know about this."

"I am aware."

"It's this person. A few days ago, he annihilated the Strength Clan. I just received news that the elders of the Haotian Sect have come to Tian Dou City to thoroughly investigate this matter. They have now reached the Blue Tyrant Dragon Academy.

Now, go to the Blue Tyran Dragi Academy and keep an eye on it. If any conflict arises between the two sides, don't worry about exposing yourself, but you must protect Qin Xiao."

Xue Qinghe instructed in a low voice, "Such a powerhouse, if we can recruit him into the Spirit Hall, will be an unimaginable asset in the future."

"Your Highness, if I'm exposed, who will protect your safety? If only She Mao is there, I'm afraid..."

Ci Tun Douluo frowned slightly,

expressing his concern.

"Don't worry, there aren't many in the Tian Dou Empire who can threaten me now. Elder She Mao is more than capable."

Xue Qinghe waved his hand.

"Yes, then I will take care of it."

Ci Tun Douluo responded in a low voice.

"Go."

Xue Qinghe waved his hand.

But before Ci Tun Douluo could leave, Xue Qinghe's expression suddenly changed, "Someone's coming? Hide in the inner hall first."

Hearing this, Ci Tun Douluo didn't hesitate and quickly hid in the inner hall, concealing all his aura.

"Your Highness, Meng Shenji requests to see you."

At this moment, the voice of Meng Shenji came from outside the hall.

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath and then said, "President Meng, please come in."

Creak.

As the sound fell, Meng Shenji walked in.

However, Xue Qinghe noticed that his face was flushed, his expression agitated, and his heart unsettled.

"President Meng, what has happened?"

Xue Qinghe asked with a frown.

In reality, he could guess that Meng Shenji had come for matters concerning Qin Xiao.

"Your Highness, people from the Haotian Sect have arrived, deploying two Title Douluo-level elders."

Meng Shenji didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"What? What about Qin Xiao!" Xue Qinghe feigned surprise.

But in his heart, he was anxious. After all, as long as Meng Shenji didn't leave, Elder Ci Tun couldn't go to help Qin Xiao.

He hoped that Qin Xiao could hold on a little longer under the attack of the two Title Douluo elders. Unconsciously, he had already started praying for Qin Xiao.

"Ha ha ha."

However, at this moment, Meng Shenji burst into laughter.

Is he sick?
Or is Meng Shenji actually Prince Xue Xing's man, revealing his true colors today?

Xue Qinghe asked in astonishment, "President Meng, why are you laughing?"

"Your Highness, I came to tell you, there's no need to panic. Qin Xiao is fine, the elders of the Haotian Sect have already left."

Meng Shenji said, unable to hide his admiration, "We thought we had already overestimated Qin Xiao. It turns out we still underestimated him."

"The two Title Douluo-level elders from the Haotian Sect, one fled, and the other has become a prisoner."

"What? The two Title Douluo from the Haotian Sect ended up like that?"

Xue Qinghe was genuinely shocked.

This time it wasn't an act, but true astonishment.

"At first, I didn't believe it either, but not until I saw Qin Xiao walking out of Tian Dou City with the Title Douluo elder of the Haotian Sect, I had to believe."

"I have to say, it's indeed impressive."

Meng Shenji's voice was filled with admiration.

"President Meng, now accompany me to see the Emperor. It seems we need to revise our plans."

"The previous plan should be canceled."

Xue Qinghe's voice suddenly rose a few notches.

Because this wasn't just for Meng Shenji, but also for Elder Ci Tun lurking in the shadows.

"Your Highness is wise."

Meng Shenji nodded repeatedly and then followed Xue Qinghe out of the Crown Prince's chamber.

Sunset Forest.

Within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.

Dugu Bo was stunned to see Qin Xiao returning, "Kid, do I make you that worried? You just left and now you're back?"

"And why bring this old man here? Are you not confident in me and want someone to monitor me? If you don't trust me, should I leave?"

Before Qin Xiao could speak, Dugu Bo became agitated.

He was a straightforward person, and Qin Xiao's actions were like throwing stones into his eyes.

"Okay, Dugu Bo, stop being as grievous as a wronged young wife. Take a closer look at this man, do you recognize him?"

Qin Xiao spoke and slightly stepped aside, revealing Elder Tang entirely to Dugu Bo.

"Eh, this old man, he does look somewhat familiar."

Dugu Bo stroked his chin, scrutinizing carefully, but couldn't immediately recall who this person was.

"Dugu Bo, you don't recognize me after so many years? My surname is Tang, and I'm the third elder."

Elder Tang recognized Dugu Bo and asked back with a complex tone.

"Tang Lao San."

Dugu Bo muttered softly, but the next moment, his eyes widened, "Wait, you, you are the third elder of the Haotian Sect?"

Elder Tang nodded with a dark face, "Indeed, it's me."

Honestly, being recognized by an acquaintance in such a manner was quite embarrassing for him.

"Why are you here?"

Dugu Bo didn't think much, just instinctively asked.

"I thought you were lonely here, so I specially brought him to keep you company."

At this moment, Qin Xiao spoke up.

And while speaking, he was winking at Dugu Bo, creating an unmistakable ambiguous atmosphere.

"To alleviate worries and boredom, if you brought a beauty, I could accept it. But what use is an old man with creaky eyes?"

Dugu Bo responded irritably.

However, he noticed Elder Tang's expression turning even uglier.

"Elder Tang, don't misunderstand, it's not that I look down on you, just that I feel we're... not a good fit."

After finishing, Dugu Bo added, "Yes, just not suitable."

Pfft.

Elder Tang couldn't hold back any longer. The anger rushed to his head, coupled with the internal injury from being struck by lightning earlier, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Dugu Bo: "."

"Is this a set-up?" He was dumbfounded and then turned his gaze back to Qin Xiao,

asking, "Qin Xiao, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"As you can see, this person is now my prisoner. He still has some value and cannot die just yet, but I don't have the time to watch over him, so I can only ask for your help."

"Don't worry, I've sealed his soul power, he can't harm you."

Qin Xiao spread his hands.

"What, a prisoner?"

Dugu Bo widened his eyes, having thought that the third elder was enduring humiliation, seeking Qin Xiao's Elixir of Life, but it turned out he was a prisoner?!

"What happened?"

Dugu Bo didn't immediately agree but asked solemnly.

Qin Xiao nodded, not minding sharing some truths with Dugu Bo, "The story begins with my annihilation of the Strength Clan."

"What? You were the one who annihilated the Strength Clan?" Dugu Bo had heard about it before, but he hadn't returned to Tian Dou Imperial City recently and was unaware of the developments.

But he hadn't expected the real culprit to be right in front of him.

"Are you still listening?" Qin Xiao asked with a stern face.

"No need, I already know what happened," Dugu Bo shook his head, then pointed at the third elder and said, "He discovered the truth, came to trouble you, and then you subdued him, right?"

Little did he know, Qin Xiao shook his head, "You're half right. He had a brother who was also subdued by me, but I let him go to negotiate terms with the Haotian Sect on my behalf."

"Both elders, subdued by you?" Dugu Bo's eyes widened in shock, feeling extremely unsettled.

What kind of monster is this kid?

"Alright, you know all you need to know. Is there a problem with me leaving him here?"

Qin Xiao asked.

"You're making an enemy of the Haotian Sect, don't drag me into this," Dugu Bo shook his head.

"If this works out, you won't owe me any favors."

Qin Xiao was clearly prepared.

"What?"

"My favor, just used up like this?"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened.

He even felt a bit angry, feeling that Qin Xiao didn't value his favor.

"True, using it like this is a waste, not really worth it."

Qin Xiao suddenly stroked his chin, thoughtfully speaking.

"Hmph, that's more like it," Dugu Bo huffed, but Qin Xiao's attitude made him feel somewhat better.

"Then how about this, while you help me watch over Elder Tang, also help me concoct some poison. The kind only you can cure."

Just when Dugu Bo thought Qin Xiao would retract his previous words, Qin Xiao's voice rang in his ears again.

"What? You thought it through, and this is it?"

Dugu Bo was incredulous.

Qin Xiao thought hard and this is...
Just pondering in vain.

"I think this is fair enough," Qin Xiao shrugged.

Dugu Bo: ''
I feel like, in his heart, I'm just a useless waste.
Honestly, he had never felt so self-conscious in decades.

Remember, when Prince Xue Xing owed him a favor, he seemed happier than being crowned.
"Fine, kid, you're tough!"

"I agree to your request. But from now on, I, Dugu Bo, won't owe you any favors. What I want to do in the future has nothing to do with you."

Dugu Bo huffed.

In contrast, Qin Xiao nodded happily, although he didn't take it seriously.

After all, if Dugu Bo agreed to today's request, could he really not align with him in the future?
Elsewhere.

Hundreds of miles outside Tian Dou City, in a dense forest.

Tang San asked in confusion, "Dad, didn't you say you were taking me to the Star Luo Empire? Why are we here?"

Tang Hao sighed, "Before leaving, I wanted to take one last look at my homeland, one last look at the Haotian Sect. Who knows when we will return next. Just one glance from afar is enough for me."

Hearing this, Tang San was moved, his face showing longing, "Is the Haotian Sect in such a remote place?"

"No, the Haotian Sect is not remote."

Tang Hao spoke, his face showing reminiscence, "When you see it with your own eyes, you'll know how majestic and grand the Haotian Sect is."
