Chapter 169: Xue Qinghe Arrives
Unexpectedly, there were truly some who feared not death!
Some Elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who were stationed outside had appropriated the assets under their control after the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disbanded.
When Lu Chen sent people to take over, they either played dumb or cried poverty and acted miserable. Some even went so far as to beat up the people Lu Chen had sent.
They claimed that the people Lu Chen sent were ungrateful, saying that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had expended great effort to cultivate them, yet they chose to betray the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
These Disciples returned to the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, now the Longevity Sect.
After reporting the matter to Lu Chen, he set out without a word.
To Lu Chen, all the assets occupied by those Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Elders should belong to him.
Daring to occupy his assets, these fellows truly did not want to live!
Lu Chen acted with lightning speed. Within four hours, he traveled between major cities, personally killing one Spirit Douluo, four Spirit Saints, and ten Spirit Emperors, greatly intimidating the remaining personnel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
As well as various factions that were colluding with the remaining personnel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
With Lu Chen’s iron-fisted methods, the subsequent takeover work became smooth.
Lu Chen returned to the Longevity Sect!
At this moment, a Disciple immediately came to report that the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, had come to visit and was currently on the square outside the main peak’s great hall.
Upon learning of this, Lu Chen could not help but raise an eyebrow.
Xue Qinghe was both the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire and a Disciple of Ning Fengzhi.
Lu Chen had personally killed Ning Fengzhi. Now that his Disciple had come knocking, this was likely to hold him accountable.
However, Lu Chen was not afraid!
Since he had dared to strike, killing Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong without hesitation, it was because he feared no one’s retaliation.
Lu Chen floated to the square and saw at a glance a figure in white robes, with a slightly slender back.
It was Xue Qinghe!
Hearing the commotion, Xue Qinghe turned around. The moment he locked eyes with Lu Chen—
Xue Qinghe’s pupils dilated slightly, shocked beyond measure by Lu Chen’s handsome appearance.
Now, Lu Chen had no disguise on his face, revealing his most true appearance.
A head of lush, azure long hair hung somewhat messily behind him, reaching his waist.
Beneath that azure long hair was a handsome face with exquisite features and well-defined angles.
Eyebrows like sharp swords, slanting into his temples.
Eyes like stars, deep and bright.
A nose like a distant mountain, high and handsome.
Red lips and white teeth; if he were to smile, it would surely be very good-looking.
He was two meters tall, but not overly burly; with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, it instead made him appear tall and slender.
Wearing a fitting blue robe, just standing there casually would make people involuntarily focus their gaze upon him.
When it comes to cosmetic plastic surgery, one must hand it to the Blue Silver Emperor.
Ever since Lu Chen awakened the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, everyone who had seen his true appearance felt nothing but amazement.
Now, Xue Qinghe was also so amazed that he could not speak for a long time.
After a long while, Xue Qinghe twitched the corners of his mouth and spoke with some ambiguity:
"Lu Chen, this is your true appearance!"
"You hid it deep enough. In the past, you always disguised yourself as a plain-looking middle-aged man. Who could have thought you were so young and so handsome."
"It seems that after killing my teacher, you no longer have any scruples and can finally appear on the continent with your true face openly."
A look of interest flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes. He wanted to see what medicine Xue Qinghe was selling in his gourd, so he said calmly:
"Ning Fengzhi harbored murderous intent toward me. I have not dared to forget for a single day how he once brought Chen Xin and Gu Rong to intercept and kill me."
"Between Ning Fengzhi and me, one of us was destined to fall eventually. Only in this way could this grudge be completely ended."
"The Crown Prince is a Disciple of Ning Fengzhi. If the Crown Prince has come to my Longevity Sect today to seek an explanation and justice for Ning Fengzhi, that is also a matter of course."
Longevity Sect...
Xue Qinghe’s mouth twitched. He remembered this was the mountain gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but it now belonged to Lu Chen. Whatever name Lu Chen wanted to give it was indeed his business.
His purpose for coming today was, of course, to recruit Lu Chen as an ally.
But on the surface, as Lu Chen was his teacher’s killer, he had to make some gesture.
Even if only verbally, he had to shout a few words for Ning Fengzhi.
Otherwise, his persona as Xue Qinghe would completely collapse.
A cold-blooded and ruthless Crown Prince would certainly be despised by the common people of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Xue Qinghe stepped forward, his hands tightly clenched into fists, his neck stiff, and his eyes reddened as he glared at Lu Chen, with quite a bit of gnashing of teeth:
"Lu Chen, I do intend to seek an explanation for my teacher. My teacher’s kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. Ever since he took me in as a Disciple, he taught me all his life’s experience and fully supported me in becoming the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"For such great kindness, I, Xue Qinghe, absolutely must repay it; otherwise, would I not become an ungrateful villain?"
This acting was truly deceptive!
With these words from Xue Qinghe, no one could find any fault!
Lu Chen watched Xue Qinghe’s performance calmly throughout. If Xue Qinghe really wanted to avenge his teacher, he should have brought two powerhouses with him.
Now that Xue Qinghe had come alone, apart from the words shouted on the surface, he likely had absolutely no intention of avenging Ning Fengzhi in his heart.
Sure enough, Xue Qinghe quickly changed the subject. No longer appearing so angry, he instead stood from the perspective of a neutral party and analyzed calmly:
"If I were just an ordinary person, even if it meant blood splashing five steps away, I would avenge my teacher."
"But I am the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. I cannot act on impulse. I must be fair and just. The grudge between you and my teacher was all because my teacher harbored jealousy."
"Jealous of your talent, he did not hesitate to bring Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to intercept and kill you in order to suppress you. It is only natural that you harbor a grudge against my teacher."
"I have thought about it over and over. As a Disciple, I cannot blame my teacher. As the Crown Prince, I cannot be overly critical of you."
"After all, you are the most innocent. If not for my teacher’s suppression of you, you would not have risen in anger, killed my teacher, as well as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and disbanded the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Xue Qinghe paused, took a deep breath, and said with great sincerity and emotion:
"Neither my teacher nor you can be blamed, so all of this is my fault!"
"As the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, I need to be responsible for every citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire. You are also a citizen of the Heaven Dou Empire. I should have stood up bravely when you were being persecuted by my teacher."
"Standing by your side, even if it meant falling out with my teacher, I should have upheld fairness and justice. Unfortunately, I was not able to stand up bravely, so all the blame for this lies with me."
"Lu Chen, or rather, His Excellency Changsheng, although you killed my teacher, I have decided to reconcile with you because I have let you down, failing to protect you when you were persecuted."
"Doing this might earn me my teacher’s blame, but I think my teacher would understand me, because this is the principle he taught me."
"His Excellency Changsheng, I say sorry to you here. I apologize to you on behalf of my teacher. I hope we can truly reconcile from this point on!"
