Du Gu Bo's expression became somewhat peculiar, "Lord Xue Beng, if I remember correctly, haven't you said this many times already?"
Xue Beng's cheeks suddenly flushed, "I... I'm just a bit worried, please forgive me, Senior Douluo of Poison."
Indeed, he no longer knew how many times he had said this sentence. It seems even Elder Poison Douluo didn't know what to say anymore!
And this scene was a bit ambiguous in Xue Qinghe's eyes, his mind started to rapidly think, trying to decipher the other's intentions...
"Hmm?? What are these two talking about, if I'm not mistaken, did Xue Beng's cheeks turn extremely red for a moment??
"Could it be, even in this situation, they still have the confidence to cope??
Or is it that all this was within their expectations??
If that's the case, then I seem to have underestimated this troublesome little brother!
The previous arrangements probably need some targeted changes!
The watched Xue Beng instinctively glanced over, just in time to overlap with the other's gaze...
Quickly retracting his gaze, he whispered, "Senior Douluo of Poison, the fake elder brother just glanced over, did he hear what we were talking about?"
Du Gu Bo answered almost decisively, "Impossible, I've set up a soundproof barrier, even a Titled Douluo couldn't eavesdrop on our conversation just now!"
"If I'm not mistaken, he should have noticed Lord Xue Beng your expression!"
Xue Beng's back suddenly grew cold, his complexion complexly said, "My expression?? I see, I didn't expect him to notice even that, truly terrifying!"
Just an expression can attract the other's attention, truly, if he shows a flaw in the confrontation with him, he might be caught in one fell swoop!!
Unexpectedly, Xue Qinghe walked over with a smile...
Smilingly asked, "Senior Douluo of Poison, Xue Beng, how was your rest last night?"
Du Gu Bo coldly replied, "This shouldn't concern the Crown Prince, should it?"
While Xue Beng replied expressionlessly, "Slept well enough, how about you, brother?"
Xue Qinghe sighed, "I slept well too, except that at night I kept feeling as if there were howling sounds from the surroundings, probably the abyssal creatures and soul beasts fighting again."
Xue Beng looked deeply at him and retorted, "Brother, abyssal creatures and soul beasts fighting, should be advantageous and harmless to us humans, right? At least it confirms they haven't collaborated yet!"
Xue Qinghe earnestly nodded, "Indeed, but these ordinary ferocious beasts cannot represent those powerful ferocious beasts within Aquipeia Forest."
"Perhaps, they have already reached some unspeakable cooperation with the Abyssal Emperor."
Xue Beng couldn't fathom what the other was thinking, and concluded this conversation...
"Brother, if you're only worrying about these matters, you should go rest first."
"Regardless of how the soul beasts and abyssal creatures within Aquipeia Forest act, as long as they do not affect us, it's best not to meddle!"
"Is that so, perhaps I really am being a bit overly concerned."
Xue Qinghe showed no anger, instead smiled, turned and left...
Xue Beng watched the other's departing back, couldn't help but curse, "Seriously, knowing I don't want to talk to him, yet still comes over, so annoying!"
Beside him, Du Gu Bo was unusually calm, "Lord Xue Beng, calm down, take anything that guy says as nothing, don't pay too much attention, or it will interfere with your judgment!"
He already had a general understanding of Xue Qinghe's methods!
So regardless of what bizarre actions the other takes, it wouldn't surprise him too much!
Xue Beng slightly nodded, "Senior Douluo of Poison, your mindset is good, if it were me, being provoked like this despite being a Titled Douluo, I would have made a move long ago!"
After all, it's just a fake elder brother overhearing, saying a few things isn't a problem!
And Xue Qinghe seemed to have felt something, turned his body around...
Xue Beng immediately lowered his head, pretending as if nothing happened...
This guy, really seems off!!
Could it be there's an eye on his back?
...
All the Daijin within the imperial palace swallowed their throats, having absolutely not expected Dai Tianling would directly order to behead him because of this matter!
This had never happened before, but it also showed the status Her Royal Highness the Princess holds in his heart!
Then, regaining their senses, they all began to advise, "Your Majesty the Emperor, calm down! The evil Soul Master dared to capture Her Royal Highness the Princess at the venue of the Youthful Soul Master Competition, surely they have a plot!"
"Indeed, and since it's a capture, Her Royal Highness the Princess must be fine, most likely used to threaten us, killing him would be futile!"
"Your Majesty should consider carefully, killing him would only reduce our Xingluo Empire's high-end strength, what needs to be done now is finding those evil Soul Masters, to rescue Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Upon hearing these words, Dai Tianling took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to have the other beheaded…
He stated deeply, "You all are right, the priority now is to find Yun'er, and rescue her safely!"
Just now, he lost his reason because Dai Yun'er was captured by an evil Soul Master!
Upon hearing this sentence, the strongman kneeling on the ground secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grateful to have preserved his life…
The Daijin also patted their chest, after all, someone's own daughter being captured, anyone would act thus, not to mention the daughter His Majesty the Emperor dotes on the most!
Thinking of this, "What are you zoning out for, quickly explain the process of Her Royal Highness the Princess being captured by the evil Soul Masters!"
The man kneeling on the ground hurriedly said, "Yes, the situation is like this…"
A few minutes later, Dai Tianling squinted and said, "You mean… Yun'er was tricked out by a servant of our imperial palace, then captured by the evil Soul Masters?"
The man nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty! I suspect the evil Soul Masters have planted spies within our imperial palace! Besides, the others responsible for protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess have already chased after them!"
"But whether they can rescue her is still uncertain!"
Dai Tianling coldly said, "Effective immediately, intensify searches around the imperial palace, we must find the spies planted by the Holy Spirit Cult, it's better to err than to miss any!"
"In addition, try to add more personnel within the territory, ensuring Yun'er is brought back safely!"
If it's really as these Daijin say, then the evil Soul Masters will definitely use Yun'er to negotiate certain terms with him!
But no matter the cost, as long as she can return to him safely, that's all that matters!
At this moment, Dai Tianling isn't the respected His Majesty the Emperor, but a father worried about his daughter's safety!
...
On another side, at the Youthful Soul Master Competition...
The incident of Dai Yun'er being captured spread quickly, reaching the ears of all Soul Masters...
"What? Her Royal Highness the Princess was actually captured by evil Soul Masters, how could such a thing happen?"
