Prince Xue Xing, accompanied by his retainers, rode non-stop to the residence of Prince Xue Beng.
Prince Xue Beng was feeling puzzled. Why had his Royal Uncle suddenly come to his residence tonight?
He hadn't even made an appointment through the servants beforehand. Was there something urgent?
Inside the main hall of Prince Xue Beng's residence.
As soon as Xue Beng arrived in the main hall, he saw his Royal Uncle's impatient expression and bowed to him with clasped fists.
"Royal Uncle, why have you come to find your nephew so late at night? Has something important happened?
Couldn't it wait until tomorrow? I was just about to go to the Drunken Spring Pavilion; your arrival has completely disrupted my plans."
"Drunken Spring Pavilion, Drunken Spring Pavilion… You little rascal, you're only 10 years old (Note: In the original work, Xue Beng is five years older than Tang San). How do you already know about that place? Your Royal Uncle doesn't know what to say to you."
Prince Xue Xing glared at Prince Xue Beng reproachfully, then scanned Xue Beng and his own subordinates, signaling them.
"All of you, withdraw for now. Xue Beng and I have things to discuss. Go guard the main entrance; no one is to approach within 50 meters of the main hall!"
"Yes, Your Highness…" Both sets of subordinates respectfully clasped their fists and assented, then left the main hall.
The 10-year-old Prince Xue Beng casually sat down in his main seat, acting completely like a dissolute young master.
"Royal Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you being so mysterious? How about we go to the Drunken Spring Pavilion together?
I heard a new courtesan recently arrived at the Drunken Spring Pavilion. She's incredibly beautiful, and many people are vying for her first night."
Xue Beng showed an expression of enjoyment and longing.
If Prince Xue Xing hadn't known that his nephew was currently pretending to be a dissolute young master,
He probably would have slapped him directly.
"Go, go to your head, you little brat! Your Royal Uncle is here to tell you something important.
According to the scout I arranged at the West Gate, Canary has returned."
Prince Xue Xing rolled his eyes in annoyance and stated his purpose for coming.
Instantly, Prince Xue Beng's arrogant and overbearing expression, like that of a dissolute young master, vanished without a trace.
His expression became serious, showing a maturity and composure that a 10-year-old child should not possess.
"He's back? Did he manage to capture the Three-Tailed Netherworld Tiger?
If he successfully captures the Three-Tailed Netherworld Tiger and presents it to Father, I'm afraid if Father is greatly pleased, it will be even harder for us to bring him down."
"You don't need to worry about that. I heard that this time, Canary returned to Heaven Dou Imperial City alone in a carriage.
There couldn't possibly be a Three-Tailed Netherworld Tiger in the carriage, could there? I'm afraid this time he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice!"
Prince Xue Xing showed a gloating expression. He was very happy that Xue Qinghe could suffer a setback.
Although Xue Qinghe was also his nephew, ever since the second and third princes died for no reason,
Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng had already become more cautious.
Although they didn't know that Xue Qinghe had been murdered and replaced by Qian Renxue, they could tell that this eldest prince had already undergone a complete change in temperament.
Moreover, the sudden and mysterious deaths of the two princes benefited the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, the most.
To protect Xue Beng's life, Prince Xue Xing made Xue Beng pretend to be a dissolute young master, causing Emperor Xue Ye to be disappointed in him.
At the same time, he also made him befriend Poison Douluo, who was famous throughout the World for his poisons. This is how Xue Beng managed to survive until now.
"Royal Uncle, is what you said true? He actually returned empty-handed? That's great!"
Xue Beng showed a delighted expression, so happy he almost started dancing on the spot.
"Of course it's true. We're all in the same boat; how could your Royal Uncle lie to you?"
Prince Xue Xing's face stiffened, showing a displeased expression.
"Royal Uncle, how should we deal with this matter next? Now that Royal Brother has no wings left, can we…"
Prince Xue Beng's smile gradually faded, and he made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes filled with hatred.
In the past few years, he had not only lost two Royal Brothers, but he himself had also been subjected to many assassination attempts.
If it weren't for Poison Douluo often staying by his side to protect him,
He probably would have died countless times already, so he wanted to fight back, preferably by secretly eliminating this Royal Brother.
Whether it was for self-preservation or for the future throne, he felt it was necessary to take a gamble.
If he could eliminate this Royal Brother, he would not only be able to say goodbye to such a life of fear, but he would also become the sole legitimate heir to the throne.
His idea immediately drew a reprimand from Prince Xue Xing.
"Xue Beng, how many times has your Royal Uncle taught you to be patient? You must never act impulsively.
If our guess is wrong, and his wings haven't been clipped at all, our actions will definitely provoke his retaliation, and perhaps…"
Prince Xue Xing hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopping, and then wanting to speak again, but still did not continue.
His reprimand made Xue Beng ponder again.
He also knew that his elder brother was full of schemes.
What if, this time, he had dug a trap and was waiting for them to jump into it?
It might really expose both of them and lead to the most brutal blow.
"Royal Uncle, then how should we deal with this matter? We can't just let him off the hook, can we?
Although he is my Royal Brother, he doesn't treat me like a younger brother at all. For the sake of the throne, he can already disregard kinship!"
Xue Beng's face showed an expression of hatred. He remembered when he was five or six years old,
The Eldest Royal Brother was very good to him, accommodating him in everything. Being with the Eldest Royal Brother felt like a spring breeze.
He once thought that the Eldest Royal Brother was the best brother in the World, but a few years ago, the Eldest Royal Brother changed.
In front of outsiders and in front of Father, Royal Brother was still as gentle and generous as ever.
But now, he could vaguely feel a great danger emanating from the Eldest Royal Brother.
He even suspected that his Royal Brother might have been replaced by someone, but he couldn't find any evidence…
"Of course we can't let him off easily! Hmph, at tomorrow's morning court, we will unite with the civil and military officials to impeach him before His Majesty.
For his own selfish reasons, he disregarded His Majesty's orders and brought so many elites to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Now only he has returned; shouldn't he bear responsibility for his own mistakes?"
Prince Xue Xing's face showed a sinister smile, which made Xue Beng's eyes light up…
(Note: Since the number of Spirit Masters in Spirit Hall accounts for more than two-thirds of the entire Douluo Continent.
Therefore, many Spirit Masters in Spirit Hall are from the Heaven Dou Empire. Except for Titled Douluo, the people arranged to protect Qian Renxue are all set to be from the Heaven Dou Empire.)
