章 31: Chapter 31: Brother Xue
Ye Hao's gaze towards Xue Qinghe was no longer lazy but filled with a gleam of light. Xue Qinghe in front of him was like a moving "treasure."
A treasure trove!
Xue Qinghe smiled slightly, refilled her wine cup, and then handed a cup to Ye Hao.
Ye Hao shrank back with his hand. "No need, I'm still young and can't drink."
Xue Qinghe smiled, and his refined and gentle demeanor suddenly spread.
"That's true, kids shouldn't drink."
She took a sip of her wine, getting back to the topic.
"The battle just now was fantastic; I've already seen it. The six feathered wings on your back, are they external soul bones? Where did you get them from?"
Ye Hao was surprised. No wonder she came looking for me here. Why didn't I notice it beforehand?
(Just now someone went to get water)
"Brother Xue, you're right. Those are definitely my external soul bones, taken from a thousand-year-old Purple Winged Devil Spider that I obtained not long ago."
"Oh, a Purple Winged Devil Spider..."
Xue Qinghe nodded absentmindedly. Her mother came from the Purple Winged Spider Emperor. The two of them did seem to have a connection.
Xue Qinghe became even more puzzled. How could there be two people in this world who looked so similar? It's unscientific.
(System: Are you talking to me about science?)
Although she had a bad relationship with her when she was a child, there was no changing the fact that she was her mother.
For some reason, her mother had always ignored her, not even allowing her to call her "Mom."
Looking at Ye Hao, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but think of her mother again, and it made her emotional.
"Xiao Ye, who are your parents, and where is your home?"
Ye Hao squinted his eyes. She was testing me because of her Death Spider Spirit and the external soul bone, Six-Winged Purple Light Wings, wasn't she?
"Brother Xue, I've been an orphan since I was young. My parents were tragically killed by wolf bandits, so..."
Seeing Ye Hao's dejected look, Xue Qinghe was taken aback and felt empathetic.
Ye Hao's Death Spider Emperor martial soul was undoubtedly authentic. She knew his martial soul better than anyone else.
Even though there was an explanation for the external soul bone and the Death Spider Emperor martial soul, who could tell Xue Qinghe that Ye Hao's face looked like a perfect sculpture of her?
Otherwise, Xue Qinghe wouldn't have almost believed, upon seeing Ye Hao for the first time, that...
Ye Hao was her biological child, and she was the one who was adopted.
"I'm sorry, I brought up something painful for you."
Xue Qinghe apologized.
Ye Hao maturely shook his head. "It's okay, it's been so many years, and I've come to terms with some things."
"I don't know why His Royal Highness asked me to come here?"
Xue Qinghe smiled and looked refined and elegant, dressed in golden silk. She exuded an air of nobility, and Ye Hao couldn't help but feel nervous as he sat across from her.
She was not simple...
"No, there's nothing. I've been calling you His Royal Highness for too long. You're a student of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Academy of Heaven Dou Empire, and you're the hope of the future of the Heaven Dou Empire. As the future Crown Prince, I'll have to rely on you. When I ascend the throne in the future, I'll have to rely on you even more. In the public eye, you can call me the Crown Prince, but in private, I'm older than you. I'll be your big brother."
Big brother Xue?
Ye Hao remained calm, though he bit his lip.
"Xue... Big brother Xue."
"Good, little brother Ye."
Cold sweat poured down Ye Hao's back. The Crown Prince was not to be underestimated, and the Martial Soul Hall was a powerful organization. Placing her in the position of the Crown Prince was undoubtedly a big move for the Martial Soul Hall. Xue Qinghe was an important chess piece.
The secret of Ye Hao's twin Martial Souls, except for himself, was known to no one.
Thanks to the previous system's manipulations, not only did he simulate Bibi Dong's Martial Soul perfectly, but his appearance was also nearly identical to her. There was a good chance that people who had seen her would associate Ye Hao with her.
"Big brother Xue, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. My teammates are waiting for me to return."
Xue Qinghe smiled and nodded. "Go ahead, little brother Ye. I heard from the Three Elders that your Emperor Combat Team will be leaving the Heavenly Dou Imperial Academy of Heaven Dou Empire for the Douluo Continent for training soon."
"Yeah..."
"It's good to gain more experience. Remember to assist me in the future. You won't be lacking in high-ranking positions and rewards. In your free time, you can come to the royal palace to find me. I'll always be there."
After that, Xue Qinghe reached behind her and took out a gold token, tossing it to Ye Hao.
Instinctively, Ye Hao held the token in his hand. It was made of pure gold and sparkled in the sunlight, exuding a sense of weightiness in Ye Hao's palm.
"Xue."
The only word on the token.
Xue Qinghe continued, "This token is unique in the entire royal palace, only I have it. If one day you feel troubled or have something on your mind and have nowhere to talk about it, the doors of the royal palace are always open to you."
Ye Hao accepted the heavy token. It seemed that Xue Qinghe's chances of recruiting him were high. Moreover, she had a strong desire for conquest.
Xue Qinghe values Ye Hao not only for his Death Spider Emperor martial soul but also for his almost identical appearance.
Moreover, Ye Hao is undoubtedly to Xue Qinghe's taste. From their conversation just now, Xue Qinghe almost concluded that Ye Hao was hiding something.
Everyone has their own little secrets, and Xue Qinghe didn't need to inquire further. There will be plenty of opportunities to interact with Ye Hao in the future.
"Goodbye, big brother Xue!"
Ye Hao waved his hand and bid farewell to Xue Qinghe inside the carriage.
"Goodbye, little brother Ye. Don't forget our agreement." Xue Qinghe, through the carriage window, gave a gentle smile.
Watching Ye Hao leave, Xue Qinghe's smile faded, and her expression suddenly turned serious.
"Young Master, this Ye Hao and the Pope's disciple..."
From behind the trees not far away, a snake spear-wielding man flashed to the carriage and whispered.
Xue Qinghe waved her hand lightly. "It's too similar, isn't it?"
The snake spear-wielding man nodded in silence. It was hard to imagine that there could be someone in this world who looked so similar. He almost mistook Ye Hao for Bibi Dong in person.
Undeniably, Bibi Dong was one of the most outstanding among all the Popes, and the growth of the Martial Soul Hall in recent years was inseparable from her thunderous methods.
"Young Master, do you need to inform the Pope about this?
I believe the Pope will be very interested once she hears about it."
The snake spear-wielding man suggested.
Xue Qinghe shook her head. "No need. I feel a connection with Ye Hao, and if he recognizes me as his older brother, then I must fulfill the responsibilities of an older brother."
