I really am a Titled Douluo

Subsequently, Xue Ye raised his eyes to look toward the back of the great hall, "In my presence, there is no need to hide your form, come out!"

With the fall of his words, the Titled Douluo, concealed in the shadows and responsible for the close protection of Xue Qinghe, also appeared without warning...

Immediately, he clasped his fists and said, "I have seen His Majesty Xue Ye!"

Xue Ye waved his hand, "No need for such formalities!"

Then, the man looked toward Xue Qinghe, giving a simple nod as an indication...

As a Titled Douluo, he certainly had his own pride!

It was then that Xue Ye spoke to this Titled Douluo, "You must have heard the conversation I had with Qing He earlier, what are your thoughts?"

Given the man's spiritual power, he most likely heard it very clearly!

Upon hearing this, the latter merely shook his head, "I have no opinion, I will abide by Your Majesty's decisions!"

Compared to guarding the Crown Prince alone, with the pride of a strong man, it was natural to prefer guarding the whole imperial palace!!

Xue Ye was not surprised by this and immediately expressed his approval, "Very well, since you have no opinion, then I hereby announce that from today onwards, you need not personally protect Qing He any longer but instead take charge of defending the Tiandou Empire Palace!"

The man took a deep breath, and replied with neither servility nor overbearing, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will devote all my efforts to protect the palace!"

"If Your Majesty has no other matters, then I will take my leave first!"

However, Xue Qinghe spoke first to interrupt, "Predecessor, please wait a moment!"

The former paused, asking, "Does the Crown Prince have any questions?"

Xue Qinghe quickly explained, "Nothing important, it's just that... thank you for your protection all this time. Otherwise, I might have suffered an unknown assassin, just like Xue Beng!"

He had been hindered for so long, he was finally able to shake off this guy!

The man's expression remained unchanged, casually responding, "Crown Prince, there is no need to thank me, I was merely fulfilling the tasks commanded by His Majesty Xue Ye."

"However, it is still necessary to remind you to be careful when you travel without my protection!"

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly, "I am well aware of that, but still, thank you for your reminder!"

After receiving acknowledgment, the man did not hesitate and turned to leave the palace...

Seeing this, Xue Ye finally spoke, "Qing He, although the imperial palace is still guarded by a Titled Douluo, it is impossible for him to protect you at all times. You must be more careful in your future activities!"

"Yes, Father!"

After speaking, he intentionally showed a hint of weariness...

Catching this, Xue Ye did not continue to ask anything...

"Seeing the state you're in, the journey must have been very exhausting, you should go back and rest now!"

Having this intention, Xue Qinghe then clasped his fists and said, "Father, then I will take my leave!"

...

After returning to his own palace, Xue Qinghe finally took a long sigh of relief...

Then, he actively deactivated the power of his soul bone...

The continuous use over so many days had taken a toll on her...

After all this, Qian Renxue looked around and spoke in a low voice, "Citun, Snake Spear, are you there?"

However, there was no response...

Qian Renxue showed a look of surprise, "Strange, is it because I was away for a few days that they all returned to the Worship Hall?"

Yet before a few minutes had passed, Porcupine Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo finally appeared...

"Holy Daughter, please forgive us, there was a Titled Douluo using spiritual power to scan the imperial palace just now, and to avoid being detected by him, we did not respond!"

Qian Renxue responded with understanding, "No problem!"

That Titled Douluo must be the person who has been protecting me all along!

Porcupine Douluo then asked, "Holy Daughter, why would Xue Ye suddenly have a Titled Douluo patrol the imperial palace? Could he have discovered our presence?"

Serpent Spear Douluo echoed, "If that's the case, Holy Daughter, we may need to withdraw!"

Qian Renxue patiently explained, "Don't be agitated. It was my idea to have that Titled Douluo guard the palace!"

Upon hearing this, both the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo appeared bewildered...

They seemed not to understand why she would do such a thing!

Qian Renxue sighed, "Actually, that guy is just following Xue Ye's orders to protect me at all times!"

"To prevent him from always following me closely, I had to resort to this strategy!"

It was only then that the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo realized, "So that's how it is, Holy Daughter, you have worked hard!"

Qian Renxue shook her head, "It's not hard to say, but it's very difficult to communicate with you all while he's always watching me!"

"By the way, with him constantly scouting the palace, you two won't have any problems, will you?"

Patting his chest confidently, Porcupine Douluo assured her, "Rest assured, Holy Daughter, the guy has just stepped into the realm of Titled Douluo. As long as we don't make a move, he won't be able to detect our presence!"

Serpent Spear Douluo agreed, "That's right, if anything goes wrong, Serpent Spear and I can join forces to deal with him!"

Qian Renxue pursed her lips, "That's good to hear, but without my orders, do not lay a hand on him!"

"But I trust you wouldn't do that anyway."

"Of course not, but Holy Daughter, let's talk about something else. Where have you been these past few days? Serpent Spear and I were really worried!"

"Yes, if something had happened to you, we wouldn't have been able to explain it to the Grand Elder!"

Both Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo adopted a serious demeanor...

Qian Renxue had no choice but to explain again, "That day I went to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, but a lot happened in between, which is why I returned several days late."

She then told them everything that had happened...

After listening, both were visibly shocked...

"Hiss, the upper three families are so audacious as to attempt an assassination on Xu Sheng, who has been named the Saint Heir of Martial Soul Hall!"

"Yes, Xu Sheng is not only valued by Bi Bidong but even the Grand Elder wants to be on good terms with him. Have the people from the upper three families been kicked in the head by a donkey?

If they had actually succeeded in their assassination, it might have been the day Martial Soul Hall went to war with the upper three families!"

Qian Renxue glanced at them and added, "The upper three families have already decided to cancel the plan, but with one condition, that I, as the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire, mediate!"

"After all, they all know about my relationship with Xu Sheng!"

The main concerns of Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, however, were completely different, "They know about your relationship with Xu Sheng?? Hiss..."

Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed faintly as she chided, "Don't think nonsense, Xu Sheng had stayed in the royal household for a few days, right? They now know that he and I are friends!"

Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine exchanged a glance and quickly adjusted their attitude...

"Ah, I see, that's good then, that's good!"

"I was just saying, how could you, Holy Daughter, have any other kind of relationship with that Xu Sheng, hahaha..."
