The same tone, the same habit of touching his chin.
Xue Qinghe stared tightly at 'Dai Mubai' in front of him, thinking deeply.
On 'Dai Mubai', for some reason, Xue Qinghe felt a sense of familiarity, as if the two had known each other for a long time.
Especially that aura of light on him.
In an instant, a bold idea emerged in Xue Qinghe's mind.
A person's appearance can be changed, voice can be changed, even their Martial Soul can be disguised. But that inner temperament is hard to change in a short time.
Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe looked at the Emperor before him, his eyes full of teasing.
"His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor, the Dai and Zhu families have intermarried for generations because of the existence of the Netherworld White Tiger. During the Soul Master competition, why didn't you use this move?"
Lu Feng frowned upon hearing this. "The opponents in the Soul Master competition were too weak and didn't deserve my full strength."
Changing the subject, he said coldly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, are you trying to pry into the secrets of my Star Luo Empire?"
Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled. "I heard you and Zhu Zhuqing have been engaged since childhood. But as far as I know, your fiancée and that person named Lu Feng have a somewhat ambiguous relationship."
"Oh, right, there's also that Soul Master named Dugu Yan."
"Dating Zhu Zhuqing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; Dugu Yan on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays; resting on Sundays. His Majesty the Star Luo Emperor, your sworn brother is truly remarkable!"
Hearing this, Lu Feng's eyes widened instantly.
By now, how could he not understand Xue Qinghe's implied meaning?
Damn it, exposed.
Lu Feng's thoughts raced. He didn't understand; clearly, even Titled Douluo couldn't detect anything abnormal, so why could Xue Qinghe discover he was an imposter?
Could it be because he had rich undercover experience, and Lu Feng had unknowingly revealed a flaw in front of him?
However, he traveled thousands of miles to Star Luo City just to expose him?
Then why didn't he say it publicly?
Lu Feng gathered his thoughts and chuckled lightly. "Brother Qinghe, you really have discerning eyes as always. How did you discover me?"
Seeing this, Xue Qinghe put on a victor's smile.
He leaned back in the chair, looking up slightly. "Discerning people relies not only on the eyes but more on the heart. What the eyes see is only surface phenomena; it is more important to feel with the heart."
Lu Feng clapped his hands. "Well said, worthy of being the Crown Prince. Then I wonder, after exposing my identity, what does Brother Qinghe plan to do next?"
Looking at Lu Feng's casual appearance, Xue Qinghe suddenly became doubtful. Hm? He's actually not worried at all that I'll expose him?
Immediately, Xue Qinghe resumed that smile. "Brother Lu, can you first tell me why you left without saying goodbye? And how did you infiltrate Star Luo and become the Emperor?"
Even with the facts right before him, Xue Qinghe still found it hard to believe that the person in front of him was really Lu Feng.
He couldn't wait to know how the other party had deceived everyone.
One had to know, he had infiltrated the Heaven Dou Imperial Family for more than ten years and killed two princes, yet he still couldn't see the hope of succession.
"This matter, it's a long story," Lu Feng said indifferently.
"It starts fifteen years ago. When a brave old hunter was hunting in the forest, he picked up a baby..."
As Lu Feng recounted the story, a tale of a wandering prince counterattacking to inherit the throne unfolded before Xue Qinghe.
"That is to say, Brother Lu, you are actually the Fourth Prince of Star Luo?" Xue Qinghe asked doubtfully.
"Correct."
"Are you a Twin Spirits user?" Xue Qinghe continued to ask.
Lu Feng didn't answer. Instead, soul power surged all over his body, and the White Tiger Martial Soul possessed him.
In an instant, his hair grew longer, and his muscles swelled, filling out his clothes. Between his brows, four faint lines emerged—three horizontal and one vertical, forming the character "King" (王).
Feeling the oncoming soul power pressure, Xue Qinghe's eyes flickered uncertainly.
So that's how it is. Lu Feng's light attribute should come from his White Tiger Martial Soul, Xue Qinghe thought to himself.
A young boy from a small mountain village with an ordinary fist Martial Soul actually receiving the recognition of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul... Xue Qinghe had been puzzled by this back then.
The next moment, he glimpsed the six soul rings around Lu Feng, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Soul Emperor!"
"You have actually advanced to the Soul Emperor level," Xue Qinghe stood up abruptly from the chair and said incredulously.
"No, if your White Tiger Martial Soul is the second Martial Soul, why didn't you hunt for a ten-thousand-year first ring?"
Lu Feng said casually, "I belong to a special case of Twin Spirits; it's more appropriate to call it Companion Spirits. The two Martial Souls can only use one set of soul rings. Brother Qinghe need not make a fuss."
"Companion Spirits? A pity, truly a pity! But Brother Lu, if I remember correctly, you are not yet sixteen this year, right?"
Xue Qinghe's face was red at this time, speaking somewhat excitedly. "Do you know what a fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor means? At this age, being able to cultivate to Soul Ancestor is already considered a genius among geniuses."
Lu Feng spread his hands, pretending to be helpless. "Is it possible that other Soul Masters just don't work hard enough?"
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe instantly felt a pain in his chest.
On the path of cultivation, talent, diligence, and resources were all indispensable.
Ordinary commoner Soul Masters had innate soul power of only level one or two, and cultivation resources had to be earned by working. Even if they cultivated for 12 hours a day, the endpoint of their lives would be nothing more than a Grandmaster.
In this situation, still saying they didn't work hard enough? [
Is that human language?
"Brother Lu Feng, if we weren't in the Star Luo Imperial Palace, I really would want to introduce your face to my fist intimately," Xue Qinghe said snappily.
"Haha, don't blame me, Brother Qinghe. Let's continue talking business," Lu Feng grinned.
Xue Qinghe took a deep breath to soothe his emotions.
In his original plan, he intended to use this matter to threaten Lu Feng and gain some benefits for the Heaven Dou Empire.
For example, restoring border trade between the two great empires.
If he could facilitate this, his reputation in Heaven Dou would surely rise to another level.
But now, Lu Feng was himself the Fourth Prince of Star Luo and could perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhu Zhuqing. Moreover, he was a super genius who had cultivated to Soul Emperor at only fifteen.
Then Xue Qinghe's threat became laughable.
Subordinates overthrowing superiors was an old tradition of the Star Luo Imperial Family. If this matter spread, Lu Feng's prestige would surely rise to a higher level.
Xue Qinghe cupped his hands slightly. "Brother Lu, decades ago, the two great empires signed a non-aggression treaty, but border trade has been under blockade."
"In fact, civilian smuggling has never ceased. I think the two great empires shouldn't give up on this piece of the pie. What do you think?" Xue Qinghe said seriously.
This matter only had benefits and no harm for both countries; Xue Qinghe didn't think Lu Feng would refuse.
The Gold Soul Coins flowing across the border every year amounted to tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, but the two countries hadn't managed it. Instead, some sects made a fortune in the middle.
"So Brother Qinghe, you really have serious business?" Lu Feng touched his chin. "Then how about this? I'll let Zhuqing talk to you about this later."
"Huu~" Xue Qinghe took a deep breath.
Sure enough, the familiar feeling. Xue Qinghe somewhat regretted exposing Lu Feng's identity. His rogue-like appearance was truly infuriating.
"In that case, this brother will take his leave first," Xue Qinghe said indifferently.
"Wait."
A trace of doubt flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, frowning slightly. "Does Brother Lu have other matters?"
"Ahem." Lu Feng coughed lightly and said seriously, "Brother Qinghe, now, let me help you sort out what happened today."
"Hm? Brother Lu, feel free to speak," Xue Qinghe said in a deep voice.
For some reason, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart.
He even somewhat regretted coming here.
"Brother Qinghe, we got along happily in Heaven Dou City. I gave you a pile of weapon blueprints and didn't even take your money."
"Brother Lu is righteous; this brother admires you," Xue Qinghe said seriously.
"Then, I entertained you with good food and drink these past few days, didn't treat you poorly, right?"
"The Star Luo Empire is full of outstanding people and beautiful land; this brother likes it very much."
Lu Feng said seriously, "But what about you? Coming all the way to my territory, first you threatened me, then finding it useless, you hoped to reach cooperation with me. Is that right?"
"I..." Xue Qinghe was instantly speechless upon hearing this.
Could he say that was exactly what he thought?
This was truly too shameful.
His momentum disappeared without a trace instantly, and he whispered, "Brother Lu's words are too serious. Our friendship is brotherly affection."
Hearing this, Lu Feng teased, "Brotherly affection between us?"
Xue Qinghe said righteously, "Correct."
Hearing this, the corner of Lu Feng's mouth turned up slightly. "Brother Qinghe, if I guessed correctly, you are a woman, right?"
