I really am a Titled Douluo

Listening to these words, Xue Qinghe didn't know why, but a few strands of annoyance unexpectedly rose in his heart...

Who did Ning Rongrong think she was, and what kind of relationship did she assume existed between herself and Xu Sheng??

Why should he have to divulge anything just because she wished to know?

He wanted to lash out at her, but he forcefully contained himself...

Following that, with an expressionless face, he answered, "I'm sorry, Ning Rongrong, I might not be able to answer the question you've asked!"

"Although my relationship with Xu Sheng is indeed not bad, we're merely ordinary friends. How could he tell me such private matters?"

Ning Rongrong, upon hearing his words, was also somewhat displeased...

"Xue Qinghe, aren't you and Xu Sheng close? Why don't you know these things? If you don't want to tell me, just say so!"

She could tell; he was completely brushing her off, with no intention of answering her at all!

Xue Qinghe, not the least bit concerned, retorted, "Ning Rongrong, it's not that I'm unwilling to speak, but truly unaware!"

"Besides, as the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is one of the upper three families, as a teacher's daughter and the face of the sect, please conduct yourself with dignity!"

The daughter of the Sect Master of a prominent sect displaying such behavior!

There wasn't even a need to maintain good relations with her!

Ning Rongrong grew angry, "You... you, if you don't want to tell me, fine!"

"Indeed, I still detest you!"

With that, she turned and left without looking back, slamming the door behind her...

In light of this, Xue Qinghe also composed himself, treating the incident as nothing more than a minor interruption...

...

Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

Xue Xing stopped what he was doing and looked up, surprised, "Lord Xue Beng, what brings you here?"

Ever since that matter, the other party had kept to the initial arrangement, not seeking frequent contact...

Now, with this sudden visit, there must be some hidden reason!

Hesitating for a moment, Xue Beng decided to come clean...

"Uncle, just now, I... I was attacked by an unidentified Soul Master at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If not for a teacher discovering and intervening in time, I'm afraid I may have..."

Xue Xing slammed his fist on the desk, standing up abruptly, and exclaimed angrily, "What??"

"Someone dared to attempt assassination on you at Heaven Dou Royal Academy!!"

Heaven Dou Royal Academy was his domain, even the emperor Xue Ye had no right to interfere!

Yet now, his own nephew had been targeted for assassination, what a biting irony!

Xue Beng pressed his lips together, his eyes showing exceptional resolve...

"Uncle, although there's no evidence, I feel this must have been done by that impostor brother!"

Xue Xing glanced at him and said coldly, "You don't have to feel it; it's likely that pretender's doing!"

"But he really does not take me, the prince, seriously. It's one thing to act outside, but to dare to make a move within Heaven Dou Royal Academy!!"

After speaking, he clenched his fists tight...

A hint of worry crossed Xue Beng's face, "Uncle, could it be the impostor brother has discovered something and now can't wait to eliminate me!"

While the impostor brother had always wanted to get rid of me, I had always been safe in the refuge of Heaven Dou Royal Academy...

But now, he had acted so blatantly, even willing to burn bridges with my uncle, to make a move against me within the academy...

It's likely he sensed something and aimed to nip it in the bud!

The indignant Xue Xing spoke again, "Very likely, but rest assured, Lord Xue Beng, I will go find your brother and make sure Xue Qinghe is punished!!"

Xue Beng knew that his uncle's outburst was driven by concern for his safety...

He hurriedly spoke to interrupt, "Wait, Uncle!"

"Don't even mention that we lack any shred of evidence, that impostor pretending to be my brother has been gone from the imperial palace for days, Father Emperor would never believe what you're saying!"

Xue Xing, as if a keg of gunpowder had been ignited, shouted furiously, "Dammit, does that mean we just let that bastard get away with attacking you so brazenly?!"

Xue Beng was somewhat puzzled, "Uncle..."

The former, coming to his senses, covered his forehead and explained, "Sorry... Xue Beng, your uncle got a bit carried away!!"

Xue Beng shook his head, "It's alright, I know Uncle is just worried about me, that's why you're angry!"

"It's just, Father Emperor is so biased towards that impostor of a brother, he won't listen to a word you say!"

Xue Xing did not deny it but nodded, "Mmm... You're right, I acted too hastily!"

Just then, Du Gu Bo appeared at the doorway...

Noticing his arrival, Xue Xing turned his gaze towards him...

"Poison Douluo, you must have heard what we were discussing just now, haven't you? How went the investigation of the Soul Master who tried to assassinate Xue Beng?"

Du Gu Bo shook his head...

"The Soul Master who tried to kill Lord Xue Beng must have been a specially trained Death Soldier. When the assassination failed, he killed himself immediately!"

"By the time I got there, all that was left was a corpse. If not for that, we could have saved him and interrogated him thoroughly!"

Xue Xing, who had expected as much, replied coldly, "Hmph, since he was sent to assassinate Xue Beng, of course he wouldn't leave any traces. Xue Qinghe really is cruel beyond his years!"

"However, it's almost certain where he came from."

At these words, all three fell into silence...

It was now glaringly obvious that this impostor, Xue Qinghe, most certainly came from the Martial Soul Hall!

And his status was likely very high!

Finally, it was Du Gu Bo who spoke in a cold tone, "Prince Xue Xing, how about this, when Xue Qinghe is about to return to the Tiandou Empire, I will eliminate him personally!"

However, Xue Xing immediately rejected his suggestion...

"No, Xue Qinghe seems to have Title Douluo level protectors by his side, and it isn't certain that it would be successful."

"Moreover, Poison Douluo, your methods are far too unique, it would be easy to guess your identity!"

Du Gu Bo was taken aback and did not question it...

"Yes, indeed, if I were to take action, I would inevitably be unable to clean up all the traces left by the poison."

He paused for a moment, then asked again, "Then Prince Xue Xing, what do you plan to do?"

"If we don't warn that fellow, I'm afraid Lord Xue Beng might face another round of assassination attempts!"

The failure of this assassination meant the enemy would not likely stay their hand; it was very possible they would send another Soul Master!

Xue Xing glanced at him, "I am well aware of that, but getting rid of Xue Qinghe is impossible!"

As long as the Title Douluo sent by Xue Ye to protect that guy doesn't leave, there won't be an opportunity to kill Xue Qinghe!

For this, it seemed he might have to do something!

Seeing the former's expression, Du Gu Bo also realized something, a slight smile curving at the corner of his mouth...

"It seems, Prince Xue Xing, that you've already got a plan!"

This prince, Xue Xing, wasn't just any royal; behind the scenes, he had cultivated a group of people loyal to himself!

Although the initial purpose was to protect Xue Beng!
