Upon learning that Emperor Xue Ye had awakened, Qian Renxue's heart was instantly thrown into a raging storm.
Her pupils contracted sharply, as if trying to devour the sudden news.
Then, her mind went completely blank, overwhelmed by complex emotions—shock, fear, anger, and a trace of imperceptible frustration.
"How is that possible... that poison was supposed to be incurable..."
Qian Renxue believed her plan to be extremely meticulous, nearly flawless.
However, the news she received at this moment was like a loud slap, fiercely striking her in the face.
The carefully laid out, seemingly foolproof scheme in her heart collapsed in an instant, and all her calculations and strategies appeared weak and powerless.
The revival of Emperor Xue Ye was, to her, not merely a setback in her plan. It was a direct challenge to her abilities, a heavy blow to the confidence and superiority she had built over the years.
She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deeply into her palms, yet she felt no pain because the pain in her heart far exceeded any physical sensation.
Qian Renxue worked hard to steady her breathing, trying to recover a shred of reason from the chaos.
She rapidly analyzed the situation, thinking about her next move, but deep inside, a never-before-felt panic was spreading.
"I must calm down."
Qian Renxue secretly gritted her teeth, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
She could not let her years of infiltration and effort be wasted.
In a subtle instant unnoticed by others, Qian Renxue swiftly adjusted her emotions, once again wearing that gentle and mysterious smile on her face.
She slowly walked toward Emperor Xue Ye's bedchamber, every step steady and composed, as if that moment of emotional lapse had never occurred.
Half an hour earlier, Emperor Xue Ye had awakened.
He didn't summon the three people outside the bedchamber right away, but quietly listened to Ning Fengzhi's report.
Upon hearing of what happened to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Emperor Xue Ye was filled with rage, vowing to seek justice for the two great clans.
Although Ning Fengzhi harbored some suspicions toward Xue Qinghe, without solid evidence, he didn't dare tell Emperor Xue Ye.
After all, Xue Qinghe was the crown prince and heir to the throne he couldn't afford to make such an accusation.
Moreover, Emperor Xue Ye had just woken up and could not endure such a shock.
Ning Fengzhi decided to wait until he found evidence before reporting it.
Xue Qinghe, Xue Beng, and Prince Xue Xing entered Emperor Xue Ye's bedchamber.
The Emperor, who had previously been gravely ill and bedridden, was now sitting upright against the bed's headboard.
Seeing this scene, the three were greatly shocked and knelt at the bedside.
"Father, you're finally awake," Xue Qinghe said emotionally.
"Father!"
"Your Majesty!"
Xue Beng and Prince Xue Xing called out one after another, both very excited.
"All three of you, rise. Thanks to Sect Master Ning and Tang Yin's treatment, I'm already fine."
The three stood up.
Xue Qinghe looked at Ning Fengzhi and Tang San, smiled, and said:
"Tang Yin's medical skills are indeed remarkable. With Sect Master Ning's assistance, he cured Father's illness. Father, your son believes both of them deserve great rewards."
Emperor Xue Ye nodded.
"Qinghe, you're right. I will reward them greatly. You've worked hard handling court affairs on my behalf these days. Has anything particularly difficult occurred?"
"Reporting to Father, with Uncle's help, everything has gone relatively smoothly. There have been occasional disturbances along the border with the Star Luo Empire, but I've already sent troops to suppress them."
"Good, you've done well."
Xue Qinghe glanced at Ning Fengzhi, then continued:
"Father, your son was incompetent, unable to protect the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan within our empire..."
Before Xue Qinghe could finish, Emperor Xue Ye interrupted him.
"Qinghe, this wasn't your fault. I've already heard from Sect Master Ning. It's all the damn Spirit Hall's doing. I will definitely seek justice for those two great clans!"
As Emperor Xue Ye spoke, a fierce look appeared in his eyes, as if he was prepared for a direct confrontation with Spirit Hall.
After calming his emotions, Emperor Xue Ye looked at Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng and said:
"Prince, you've also worked hard during this time."
"Xue Beng, now is a critical time. You should also learn to shoulder responsibilities like Qinghe and help ease my burden."
Upon hearing this, Xue Beng actually started to cry.
In the past, such words would never come from Emperor Xue Ye's mouth.
This proved that Emperor Xue Ye still valued him.
"Your son will faithfully follow Father's teachings."
"Mm. Qinghe, guide your younger brother well. After all, he will be supporting you in the future. Only when you brothers are united can I rest assured in handing over the empire to you."
"Yes, Father Emperor, your son understands."
The stone hanging in Qian Renxue's heart eased slightly. Judging from the Heaven Dou Emperor's demeanor, he still hadn't become suspicious of the Crown Prince.
Tang San and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance.
Xue Qinghe was certainly cunning and acted well, but he couldn't fool their eyes.
Now that the Heaven Dou Emperor had awakened, this problematic Crown Prince would be exposed sooner or later.
The Heaven Dou Emperor glanced at Tang Yin beside him and couldn't help but feel that his identity was not as simple as merely being a disciple of the Clear Sky Clan.
"All right, the three of you may leave now. Call in the Grandmaster."
"Yes."
Xue Qinghe, Xue Beng, and Prince Xue Xing withdrew.
Soon after, Yu Xiaogang entered.
Seeing that the Heaven Dou Emperor had awakened, Yu Xiaogang was also shocked. He hadn't expected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's forbidden technique to be this powerful.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Grandmaster, I am saddened by your clan's misfortune. Please accept my condolences and pull yourself together."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will."
The Heaven Dou Emperor nodded in satisfaction, then looked again at Tang Yin and smiled:
"Young man, the Clear Sky Clan has been in seclusion for nearly twenty years, and yet you appear at this time. I doubt it's that simple, right?"
Tang San respectfully said:
"Your Majesty is wise. Please forgive me—my real identity is Tang San."
"Tang San? You are actually Tang San?!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ning Fengzhi explained from the side:
"Your Majesty, he is indeed Tang San. To avoid the eyes and ears of Spirit Hall, he used an alias."
"So that's how it is."
The Heaven Dou Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Tang San, the last time in Spirit City, you were taken away by the Clear Sky Douluo. Did you return to the Clear Sky Clan with him?"
"Your Majesty, we didn't return to the Clear Sky Clan. However, I am currently preparing to return with my father to ask our clan to descend the mountain and stand with the empire against the ambitious Spirit Hall."
"Is that so? That is truly excellent!"
Ning Fengzhi quickly added:
"Your Majesty, including the Clear Sky Douluo, the Clear Sky Clan has a total of seven Title Douluo-level powerhouses. If the Clear Sky Clan could relocate to Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall would not dare to be so presumptuous."
Upon hearing this, the Heaven Dou Emperor was overjoyed.
"Tang San, I promise you: if your Clear Sky Clan can relocate to Heaven Dou City, you will enjoy imperial stipends and even be granted titles and nobility."
"Your Majesty, I will do my utmost."
