Xue Qinghe glanced sideways and revealed a smile, saying, "Xu Sheng, you've come..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Hulena running towards Xu Sheng in a slight panic, giving him a hug...
"Xu Sheng, you're back!"
Xu Sheng saw this and quickly pulled her away, reminding her, "Nana, you're the goddess of the Martial Soul Hall. There are so many people here today, please be mindful!"
Hulena froze for a moment, seemingly realizing that her actions were a bit too affectionate, her cheeks growing increasingly rosy...
"I... I understand now."
To have done something so bold just now, normally, it shouldn't have happened...
But she just couldn't help herself for some unknown reason!
Evil Moon covered his forehead with his hand, sighing, "Is Nana too carefree? Hugging Xu Sheng publicly, sigh!"
Flame muttered, "If it weren't Xu Sheng, Nana should be hugging me."
The one who heard it clearly spoke in an undeniable tone, "No, that's absolutely impossible."
At this time, Xu Sheng turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, "Sect Master Ning, Bone Douluo, I'm sorry for the embarrassment."
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand to show he didn't mind, "It's nothing, nothing. With Xu Sheng's talent and charm, it's not surprising that he attracts the opposite sex."
Oh Rongrong, it seems you don't have much chance...
Gu Rong simply nodded, but internally muttered, "Hmph, the person is nice, but he's still a philanderer. I must tell Rongrong about this so she stops yearning!"
Then, Xu Sheng looked over at Xue Qinghe not far away...
However, the latter's expression appeared to be somewhat stiff...
"Crown Prince, your face doesn't look good, were you frightened on the way to the Pope Hall?"
Xue Qinghe snapped out of it, replying very coldly, "I'm fine, just a bit tired, thank you for your concern."
Hulena's actions earlier clearly weren't the first time!
To think Xu Sheng himself said I was his future...
Liar, big liar!
Thinking of this, he grew increasingly angry, saying again, "You all continue talking, I'm a bit tired, I'll go rest first!"
But the next second, Xu Sheng grasped his wrist, "Crown Prince, wait a moment, I have something to talk to you about."
With his back turned, Xue Qinghe pursed his lips, "No need, I'm really tired. Whatever it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Saying so, he waved his hand and left the academy straight away...
This scene left everyone present stunned...
Evil Moon hesitated for a moment and then spoke, "Xu Sheng, aren't you good friends with the Crown Prince? How come it doesn't seem that way?"
Flame smirked, "Indeed, anyone who didn't know might think you're enemies, who would have thought even you could have moments like this, Xu Sheng!"
Xu Sheng glanced at the two, making them immediately shut their mouths...
Hulena lowered her head guiltily, feeling quite remorseful, "Is Qinghe's sudden emotional change because of me?"
If I'd known, I would have held back and let him be earlier!
Seeing that the situation was somewhat off, Ning Fengzhi also stepped in to mediate, "Xu Sheng, don't mind it, perhaps Qinghe is still adjusting after the abyssal creature attack, I believe he'll come to find you once he recovers."
Gu Rong nodded in agreement, "Hmm, after the abyssal creature attack we faced, you could say we narrowly escaped death, the Crown Prince may need some quiet time."
Xu Sheng understood, "I see, then let's not disturb him for now!"
This is likely the only reason, with Qian Renxue at her age, facing life and death, it's impossible not to react at all!
...
Arriving at the residence specially prepared by the Martial Soul Hall, Qian Renxue glanced back, seeing no one had followed, she muttered internally, "That fool Xu Sheng, really didn't follow up!"
I just wanted an explanation!
"Who??"
But the next second, she seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around...
In her eyes appeared Bi Bidong, holding the Purple Crystal Scepter, staring closely at her...
Instantly, the whole person turned cold, "Why are you here?? About the abyssal creatures, wasn't it said we'd discuss tomorrow? Or have you changed your mind?"
Meeting the person she least wanted to see here, needless to say how irritating it was!
Bi Bidong wasn't angry at this attitude, but instead said indifferently, "What's the matter? Is this how you treat your own mother, unwilling to even remove your mask!"
She naturally knew the other was using skull powers to illusion as Xue Qinghe!
Xue Qinghe scoffed upon hearing, as if hearing a joke, sarcastically, "Mother? Are you worthy of saying such words?"
"In my eyes, you're just a stranger connected by blood."
The only real family I have is my grandfather!
Bi Bidong stared directly at him, "Even if you don't admit it, the fact I gave birth to you cannot be changed."
Xue Qinghe was somewhat impatient, "What exactly do you want to say? If you're just going to talk about meaningless things, I advise you not to waste your time!"
With every extra word exchanged with her, he grew more agitated inside!
This sentence undoubtedly made Bi Bidong's heart ache suddenly...
Were these matters just meaningless things in his eyes?
It seemed she indeed didn't regard me as a mother, even worse than a stranger!
Thinking about this, all the words she had prepared swallowed back down...
Next, she spoke again, "I heard you were attacked by abyssal creatures before coming, very embarrassed, didn't Qian Dao Liu dispatch Soul Master protectors for you?"
"If that's the case, I don't mind lending you one or two."
Xue Qinghe frowned, reprimanding, "This has nothing to do with you, besides, how could the Pope Hall's overall strength send out any formidable protectors?"
Just Ghost Charm and Yue Guan!
Those two can't even rank in the Worship Hall!
Bi Bidong was silent...
For a moment, she didn't know what to say...
Xue Qinghe saw her showing this look and completely lost interest in talking...
"If there's nothing else, you better leave quickly, I don't want to expose my identity because of you!"
Bi Bidong pursed her lips, "Alright, but if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."
"After all, I am your mother!"
If I keep talking, I'll likely only increase his disgust for me!
Thus, she decisively left...
Looking at the departing back, Xue Qinghe felt not a hint of sadness or sorrow.....
"Trying to get close to me at such a time, isn't it too insulting!"
If Bi Bidong really had a bit of regret, she wouldn't have completely ignored me during all those years at the Worship Hall!
In the end, this woman just wants to control the Martial Soul Hall's power!!
