Three days later, under the auspices of the Heaven Dou Royal Family, Xue Qinghe, as the eldest son, presided over Xue Ye's funeral.
After the royal family introduced Xue Ye's life in the Imperial Mausoleum, they announced the burial. The news of Emperor Xue Ye's death spread rapidly throughout Heaven Dou City. Even Ning Fengzhi rushed to the mausoleum to witness the emperor's funeral.
"Qing He, aren't you being a bit too hasty?"
After arriving at the Crown Prince Residence with Ning Bei, Ning Fengzhi, with a hint of reproach, asked Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows slightly and gave Ning Bei an inquiring look.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Bei nodded to Qian Renxue.
Immediately, Qian Renxue beckoned the father and son to go to the Secret Chamber. Ning Fengzhi glanced at his son, and seeing that he didn't offer much explanation, he followed their steps.
Arriving at the Secret Chamber, the Little Angel turned back and gave Ning Fengzhi a strange smile, then directly removed the disguise from her face, revealing a delicate face, her golden hair fluttering freely.
"Uncle Ning, I have been hiding this for a long time, please don't blame Qing He... no, please don't blame Snow'er for the deception."
"You..."
Ning Fengzhi's pupils shook slightly, then he turned to look at his son, and seeing that he had no surprised reaction, he knew that he had known about this for a long time.
Then he remembered that in the previous conversations between the two, his son seemed to be deliberately hiding something. It seemed that this was one of them.
Having figured this out, Ning Fengzhi also put away the tension in his heart, and instead turned his gaze to the golden-haired woman in front of him.
"Tell me, who are you?"
"I am Qian Renxue, the daughter of the former Pope of Spirit Hall, and also the inheritor of this generation's Six-Winged Angel Spirit."
"What? A Qian family member?"
Even though he was mentally prepared for the fact that Qian Renxue's identity was not simple, he was still shocked when he learned of her true background. What kind of person would send their family's only heir to be a spy?
However, now he completely understood what Ning Bei had said before about the future Pope of Spirit Hall possibly being surnamed Ning. Regarding this, he just wanted to say to his son, well done!
The surprise on his face gradually faded, and Ning Fengzhi, who understood the relationship between the two, instantly put on a teasing smile.
"Perhaps I should call Miss Qian my daughter-in-law?"
The Little Angel, who hadn't enjoyed the old fox's shocked expression enough, was stunned for a moment, and then a blush climbed onto her cheeks, and she glared at Ning Bei fiercely.
"Cough cough!"
Ning Bei coughed lightly and glanced at Ning Fengzhi, his meaning was clear, he knew this matter in his heart, was now the time to talk about this?
"Alright, I won't ask too much about you young people's affairs."
"I probably also know what you want to do. Since the arrow has already been shot and there is no turning back, then go ahead and do it. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will fully support your plan."
"Then thank you, Uncle Ning."
With Ning Fengzhi's support, the Little Angel was even more confident in the next actions, and even full of confidence in the subsequent plan to annex Star Luo.
"You still need to be more careful about Xue Xing's movements. Although you are the first in line to the throne on the surface, it will still be very troublesome if your identity is exposed in the future."
Qian Renxue nodded, not hiding anything.
"Uncle Ning, please rest assured, Snow'er has already learned of Xue Xing's movements in advance. He will probably make trouble on the day of the Ascension Ceremony. For this, he does not hesitate to secretly transfer several Border Garrison Generals who are stationed outside back to Heaven Dou City."
"A Bei and I plan to wait until those ministers who secretly support Xue Beng are exposed, then we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"Well, the fact that you say that means you must have made thorough preparations. Then go ahead and do it. When the time comes, This Sect Master will bring Sword and Bone two Titled Douluo to participate in Your Majesty's Ascension Ceremony."
"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Ning."
The two sides talked very happily, and even Ning Bei, the link between the two, couldn't get a word in, making him secretly think that he was not suitable to be a superior controller.
But it doesn't matter, the Little Angel can conquer the world, and he can conquer the Little Angel.
It's no wonder that Ning Fengzhi is so concerned about this matter. He's joking. If this matter is handled properly, not only will the future Pope of Spirit Hall be named Ning, but the Emperor of Heaven Dou Empire will also be named Ning. He won't necessarily get to experience being an emperor, but the first page of the royal family tree will have to have his name on it, right?
After discussing with a group of old antiques from the Heaven Dou Royal Family, Xue Qinghe's Ascension Ceremony was scheduled for three days later. At that time, Bibi Dong would also send Chrysanthemum Douluo to pay respects.
This also made Xue Xing and Xue Beng a little uneasy these days. Several Soul Douluo should be able to deal with Xue Qinghe's subordinates, but the forces coming to participate in the Ascension Ceremony this time are not simple.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Ning Fengzhi and Sword and Bone two Titled Douluo, and now even Chrysanthemum Douluo is coming to participate. At that time, any one of them participating in the royal family's struggle will cause variables.
"This won't do, Royal Uncle, the risk is too great. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been inclined towards Xue Qinghe's side."
Xue Xing paced back and forth in the Prince's Mansion, but the haze in his eyes could not be dispelled.
"You're right. Although I'm confident that I can push public opinion to our side, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is indeed a trouble. I'll take a trip to Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now to see if I can invite Yu Yuanzhen to come out of the mountain. He doesn't even need to take action, just deter Sword and Bone two people."
"As long as Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doesn't take action, Xue Qinghe alone won't be a threat."
Hearing Xue Xing say this, a hint of surprise flashed in Xue Beng's eyes.
"Royal Uncle, let's do it this way. I'll have to trouble you to make a trip."
"It's nothing, it's all for the throne. If Xue Qinghe gains a firm foothold, with his ruthless style of doing things, none of us will have a good end."
"Alas, if Brother Dugu could come to help, our chances of success would be much greater."
The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled bitterly, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. The behavior of a Titled Douluo cannot be controlled by them, these nobles.
If Ning Bei knew what the two were thinking, he would definitely tell them they were overthinking it.
Xue Xing rushed to Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, not far from Heaven Dou City, overnight. Of course, all of this was also seen by the shadows in the dark.
A moment later, this action was reported to Qian Renxue.
"Hmph, if that old dragon dares to seek death, this Miss wouldn't mind sending him on his way."
With nearly two hands' worth of Titled Douluo standing behind her, the Little Angel was bursting with confidence and didn't feel intimidated by the old dragon of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at all.
Ning Bei looked at Qian Renxue with amusement, and instead looked forward to Yu Yuanzhen's arrival.
"I'm curious to see what conditions Xue Xing can offer to impress Yu Yuanzhen. That old dragon has never participated in the struggles between the two great empires and the royal family."
...
Inside the Imperial Palace of Star Luo Empire, a man with heterochromatic pupils and a strong aura looked at the subordinate kneeling beside him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"Is the news accurate?"
"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true. The spies we arranged in Heaven Dou Empire personally saw the Xue family holding a funeral."
The man pondered for a moment, then a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"Notify all the ministers, hold a temporary court meeting tomorrow, everyone must attend."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
