"Over a full month, and this is all you managed to find?!"
Qian Renxue was dressed entirely in black, dark as ink, standing behind the desk. Her long, pale hand was raised high, clutching a thick stack of papers.
These were intelligence reports on nearly a hundred soul masters gathered by her subordinates from the Spirit Hall over the past month.
"Whoosh—"
As her voice fell, all the papers were flung to the floor.
Seeing this, cold sweat seeped from Snake Spear Douluo's temples.
Recently, the Young Mistress had grown increasingly gloomy, but this was the first time she had erupted in such fury. It was obvious she was extremely dissatisfied with their efficiency.
Indeed, although they did not know exactly what kind of soul master Qian Renxue was searching for, someone worthy of her attention was clearly no ordinary figure.
Yet every soul master listed in these reports—without exception—had mediocre talent. In Spirit Hall City, soul masters of similar caliber could be found everywhere.
"Young Mistress, please calm your anger. Although Spirit Hall hasn't gained much, however…"
"However what?"
Qian Renxue quickly reined in her expression and fixed her gaze on him.
"The sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning, seemed to react a bit strangely when he heard this name."
"Go on. In detail."
"One of our Soul Saints casually mentioned the name Su Cheng while negotiating with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. From his description, Ning Fengzhi didn't seem to recognize the person, but it was as if he had heard the name somewhere before."
Qian Renxue's heart stirred, and she thought of someone.
"Chen Xin… so that's it…"
Suppressing the urge to confront Ning Fengzhi directly, she lowered her eyes and fell silent in thought.
The Chen Xin route was clearly a dead end. In front of Spirit Hall, a mere Sword Douluo counted for little.
However, at present, without sufficient justification, she could not mobilize Spirit Hall's high-end combat forces.
Her grandfather had always drawn a clear line between public and private matters when it came to major affairs.
"Knock, knock, knock."
At that moment, someone knocked on the door outside, interrupting her thoughts.
"Come in."
As the door opened, a Soul King entered the study.
Qian Renxue's cold gaze swept over him like lightning.
The man shuddered violently in fright.
"Young Mistress, news has come from the palace."
"…Speak. What is it?"
In truth, she had no interest in whatever trouble had broken out in the palace again, but there was another voice in her heart she could not ignore.
After a brief silence, she spoke indifferently.
"It's Prince Xue Beng. He got into a conflict with someone at Yuexuan. The other party seems to have some background—he's the son of an elder from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."
Qian Renxue's brow twitched slightly, a trace of killing intent flashing in her eyes.
"That damned fool. Causing me trouble at a time like this."
Half an hour later, outside Yuexuan.
Despite the bruising on his face, Xue Beng still wore an arrogant expression as he looked at the young man opposite him.
"No matter who you are, it's useless. My imperial brother will be here any moment now. Apologize now and get lost—maybe you'll still make it."
Yu Tianzhi frowned.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had been keeping a low profile in recent years, and he himself was not among the most gifted disciples of the sect, he was still an elder's son, bearing the top-tier beast martial soul—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. He was someone of status. There was no way he would bow his head so easily.
But since this was the other party's territory, if things dragged on, dealing with the aftermath could become troublesome.
Still, apologizing was impossible.
It was clearly the other side who had spoken insultingly first. The dignity of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon could not be defiled.
Seeing this scene, the two richly dressed young men standing at the entrance of Yuexuan exchanged glances, feeling somewhat helpless.
At this moment, Tang Yuehua did not come out. She had no fondness for Prince Xue Beng, and given her status in Tian Dou City, there was no need for her to give face to such a dissolute prince. Everything could wait for Xue Qinghe to handle.
"What happened?"
At that moment, a voice sounded.
The eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, arrived.
No one was surprised to see Xue Qinghe dressed in black.
Recently, whether in conduct or attire, the eldest prince had undergone noticeable changes.
At first, some people found this strange, but by now, most had already grown accustomed to it.
"Big brother…" A trace of joy appeared on Xue Beng's face at just the right moment.
"Shut up."
Xue Qinghe said calmly, not even sparing him a glance, cutting him off directly.
He turned to look at Yu Tianzhi, a hint of inquiry showing in his steady gaze.
"This Prince Xue Beng barged into Yuexuan and demanded that Miss Huage perform for him. At the time, Miss Huage was with us. I merely said a few fair words, and he insulted me in return, saying that someone like me was too crude and unworthy to appreciate art here."
In just a few sentences, Yu Tianzhi clearly explained the cause of the incident.
He did not exaggerate, and in some places did not even go into detail.
Facing this Tian Dou prince dressed in black, he felt an instinctive sense of apprehension.
Xue Qinghe nodded after hearing this, without the slightest doubt.
Because this was exactly the kind of thing Xue Beng would do.
Turning his head to this "younger brother," he said coldly, "Apologize. Compensate."
"Big brother, I—"
"I told you to apologize and compensate. Do you not understand?"
He repeated himself with heavier emphasis, black light flickering in the depths of his eyes.
A flash of resentment crossed Xue Beng's eyes, but he immediately lowered his head and fell silent.
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe walked toward him slowly and spoke softly in a voice only the two of them could hear:
"Xue Beng, if I catch you messing around again, I'll chop off that thing between your legs and feed it to the dogs. You can try and see whether that damned Prince Xue Xing can protect you or not."
As he said this, his face was filled with a gentle smile, like that of a good older brother comforting his sibling.
Yet Xue Beng's body trembled slightly.
From the angle only he could see, a pair of pitch-black eyes stared at him like a cold, venomous dragon, as if ready to kill him at any moment.
"Tch…"
Xue Qinghe sneered softly and turned away.
This was nothing more than a fool who thought himself clever—at best, a pawn in the struggles of various factions.
He then walked to the entrance of Yuexuan and nodded to the two richly dressed young men.
"Tell Master Tang that all losses today will be borne by me. If this fellow dares to come again, just break his legs. I will take full responsibility for all consequences."
With that, he turned and left.
The two men were somewhat surprised.
"Oh, right."
Xue Qinghe suddenly turned back again.
Seeing this, the two of them relaxed instead, thinking the eldest prince felt he had gone too far earlier.
After all, no matter how outrageous Xue Beng's behavior was, he was still a prince. Even Xue Qinghe could not act completely without restraint.
"Let me add something. No matter why he comes here, or whether he causes trouble or not, you can still break his legs."
After saying this, he shot a sideways glance at the trembling Xue Beng in the distance, gave a cold snort, then flicked his sleeve and finally left.
"Truly disgusting."
