Qian Renxue suppressed the complex emotions on her face,
regaining her cool demeanor.
She asked the two, Serpent Spear and Citun, "Any news about that Immortal Herb Compendium?"
"Elder Ju is already copying it and will send it to Heavenly Dou City soon,"
Citun replied respectfully.
"Good, then hurry up,"
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, her hands behind her back.
"And as for the Jade Luo Crown, we can expedite the arrangements; it'll bring some joy to the mourning royal family,"
Serpent Spear responded respectfully.
"Understood, the invitation will be sent immediately,"
Qian Renxue nodded slightly.
"Let's go back. Xue Ye is likely to be furious."
————————
Escorted by Citun and Serpent Spear, Qian Renxue quickly returned to the Crown Prince's residence.
Then, she transformed back into Xue Qinghe.
She hurriedly went to Anle Pavilion to attend Xue Beng's funeral and handle the aftermath.
Less than half a day later...
The news that the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, had been killed on the spot while robbing a woman in a brothel with the wanted criminal Tang San
had already spread throughout the streets and alleys, becoming a topic of conversation.
Emperor Xue Ye, who only had two sons left, was naturally furious.
Three of his four sons were gone.
Years of investigations into his second and third sons had yielded no results; the murderer hadn't been found.
Now, Xue Beng's death—
shot down in a brothel, in full view of everyone—
was unacceptable. He
immediately ordered a nationwide search for Tang San.
Anyone found could be apprehended, dead or alive.
A reward of ten thousand gold pieces would be given to anyone who provided information leading to Tang San's capture. Anyone who brought back Tang San, or his head, would be granted the title of Earl of the Empire.
With the order issued, portraits of Tang San and his sons were displayed everywhere, spreading
from Tian Dou City throughout the entire empire. It could be said that the names of Tang San and his sons were no longer confined to the world of Soul Masters; they had truly entered the homes of ordinary people. Xue Ye went to Yuexuan to demand an explanation. When Haotian Sect learned of this, they were furious but also completely distanced themselves from the matter. Tang Hao and his son had already been expelled from the Haotian Sect. In short, the grievances had their source, and the debts had their debtors. Let Xue Ye seek revenge on Tang Hao and his son; it was none of their business. They still had to live in hiding. ———————————— The powerful officials in the court, those who were originally neutral, all gravitated towards Xue Qinghe. Even Prince Xue Xing, who had always protected Xue Beng, became reclusive and indifferent to politics. For a time, the Crown Prince's power was unparalleled. Everyone knew that Emperor Xue Ye had no choice; the Crown Prince was the only successor. ———— The Heavenly Dou Empire was shaken. Ye Qiu didn't care at all, acting as if nothing was wrong, accompanying Ning Rongrong and the other two women in their cultivation. Occasionally, he would go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to invite the beautiful snake woman out for some indulgence, feeling the tightness and smoothness of her snake tail. Less than two days after Xue Beng's death... Ye Qiu obtained the illustrated guide to immortal herbs he needed. Noon. Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ye Qiu was sitting in the pavilion, flipping through Chrysanthemum Douluo's handwritten copy. It must be said, Chrysanthemum Douluo's drawings were quite detailed; even copying this information likely reflected his devotion to immortal herbs. Ning Rongrong came running out. Her petite body squeezed into Ye Qiu's lap, and as she sat on his human cushion, she blushed and wiggled her waist, rubbing against him. Ye Qiu rolled his eyes. He reached out, put his arm around her waist, and warned, "You've ignited my fire; no matter how much you cry or beg, it's useless." "I...I just wanted to sit more comfortably, please stop!" Ning Rongrong said softly, suddenly sensing Ye Qiu's tendency to lift his head, she quickly stopped him, blushing, and dared not move again.
"Why aren't you cultivating properly? What are you doing out here?"
Ye Qiu stared intently at the book in his hands, nodding slightly as he pressed his face close to Ning Rongrong's.
"I've been cultivating all morning, can't I even take a break and get some fresh air?"
Ning Rongrong nestled in Ye Qiu's arms, gently sniffing him, her face no longer spoiled, but filled with tenderness and affection.
Ye Qiu's gaze, fixed on the book, suddenly brightened.
He didn't forget to remind her, "Okay, go back to cultivating as soon as you're done getting some fresh air."
"I know."
Ning Rongrong pouted and softly agreed.
A hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she opened her mouth, but then stopped herself from speaking.
Although she hadn't left the sect these past few days,
the news of Tang San's arrest had undoubtedly reached the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School outside Heaven Dou City.
Ning Rongrong softly called out,
"You dead liar."
"Hmm?"
Ye Qiu put away his book, looking down at her hesitant expression, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"What's wrong? Just say what you want to say."
Ning Rongrong bit her red lips and asked, "You liar, what did you need the information about the avalanche for?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Ye Qiu asked, puzzled.
"Dad knows about it, so I wanted to ask you."
Ning Rongrong straightened up, hugged Ye Qiu's neck, and looked at him worriedly.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ning won't mind such a small thing."
Ye Qiu chuckled, rubbed Ning Rongrong's head, and pinched her cheek to make her mouth slightly open.
He leaned down and gently kissed her, exploring her lips a few times.
"Alright, go back to your cultivation, I have to go out for a while."
Ning Rongrong blushed, pursed her moist lips, nodded slightly, and left Ye Qiu's embrace.
She straightened Ye Qiu's clothes.
"Then be careful."
"Okay."
Ye Qiu stood up, about to leave, then patted his head.
A look of realization appeared on his face.
"Oh, right, Rongrong, do me another favor, help me investigate the Min clan."
Ning Rongrong paused, pursed her lips, and nodded gently.
She said sweetly, "You liar, if you have any trouble, you can tell me. I... I can ask Grandpa Jian and the others for help."
"I know, my dear lady,"
Ye Qiu chuckled, pinching her cheek.
"Cultivate well, I'm leaving now!"
With that,
Ye Qiu soared into the sky, flying away into the distance.
Ning Rongrong watched the direction Ye Qiu left in.
Her expression was worried. She clenched her fist, raised it, and ran outside to find someone to do something.
Of course, she knew that Xue Beng's death was definitely related to Ye Qiu.
But she didn't care.
She was only worried about Ye Qiu, her man, whether he was injured or in danger.
Sunset Forest.
Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Valley.
Ye Qiu and his grandson, Dugu Bo, gathered together.
After checking the Immortal Herb Compendium,
Ye Qiu immediately brought Dugu Yan from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to Sunset Forest.
It can only be said that Dugu Yan was lucky; among the remaining immortal herbs,
there really was one that was very suitable for her.
"Sister Yan Yan, this is the immortal herb I was talking about that's suitable for you, called Dragon Soul Immortal Spirit Algae."
The three sat at the table, and Ye Qiu took out the immortal herb and handed it to Dugu Yan.
"It's imbued with a trace of dragon soul. After consuming it, that dragon soul will merge into your martial soul, definitely allowing your Azure Phosphorous Serpent martial soul to evolve."
Ye Qiu held the immortal herb as if it were a plate.
Wishing everyone a happy life!
