Chapter 106 Your Majesty, don’t speak carelessly!
A few hours later.

In the largest banquet hall of Tiandou Palace.

A long horseshoe-shaped table that can accommodate dozens of people for dining is filled with various silver tableware.

The six crystal chandeliers overhead make the entire hall look magnificent.

The supreme ruler of the Tiandou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye, was sitting at the square main table at the front of the long table.

Prince Xuexing and another handsome-looking boy sat on either side of him, and next to the boy sat a girl of about thirteen or fourteen.

At this time, there were still several empty seats on the table used to entertain the guests of honor…

The Tiandou royal family members who had already gathered here, as well as various high-ranking nobles, were secretly discussing below.

“Who on earth are you going to invite to the banquet, Your Majesty?

Such a grand display, almost all the royal family members must have arrived!”

“Almost. Look over there, even the eldest prince Xue Qinghe, who just awakened his martial spirit, has come over.

And your Majesty’s niece, Xue Manshu is here too…”

Listening to the discussions below, Xue Qinghe grabbed Emperor Xue Ye’s sleeve and said.

“Father, the banquet is about to begin, why aren’t they coming?”

Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye reached out and rubbed Xue Qinghe’s head.

“Qinghe, don’t worry, they should be here soon.”

As he spoke, Emperor Xue Ye turned his gaze to Prince Xue Xing who was silent beside him.

“Xue Xing, are you sure that besides Dugu Bo, those people from the Spirit Hall will also come?”

“Your Majesty, I am certain of it.

Qin Ming, and the two Title Douluo sent by the Spirit Hall to protect him will come over!”

As he spoke, Xue Xing rubbed his slightly swollen temples.

Compared to the arrogant look in the morning, Xue Xing looked a little depressed at this moment.

“This morning, many spirit masters in the city sensed the auras of the two Titled Douluo in Dugu Bo’s residence.

I wanted to test the waters by sending an invitation, but I didn’t expect Dugu Bo to not even let me in…”

As he spoke, Xue Xing sighed.

“Your Majesty, the attempt to recruit Dugu Bo is likely to fail.

We have invested so much energy in Dugu Bo in vain.

And even if we succeed in recruiting Dugu Bo, what good would it do…

The grand ceremony of re-ranking the world’s seven major sects has ended.

The envoys we sent to Wuhun City also returned to Tiandou City in the afternoon.

According to the information they sent, the Haotian Sect closed the mountain, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect joined the Spirit Hall.

Several sects, such as the Elephant Armor Sect and the Fire Leopard Sect, have also announced their joining of the Spirit Hall…

Currently, there are nearly twenty titles in the Spirit Hall.

And Qin Ming had reached level 13 soul power at the age of 48, and possessed actual combat power close to that of a soul saint.

He is regarded as the greatest genius in the history of the mainland…

Your Majesty, now that the Spirit Hall is so powerful, how should our Heaven Dou Empire cope with it?”

Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye narrowed his eyes and turned his gaze to Xue Qinghe and Xue Manshu who was beside Xue Qinghe.

Emperor Xue Ye said in a deep voice.

“It doesn’t matter if I fail to recruit Dugu Bo. I still have a follow-up plan.”

Just when Emperor Xue Ye wanted to ask Xue Xing for some more details, the guards outside the palace came in to report.

“Your Majesty, Dugu Bo and the others are already outside the hall.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye straightened his expression.

“Please.”

Having said that, Emperor Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe and others beside him and said.

“The guests are here. You two should pay attention to your status and don’t be disrespectful in front of them.”

“Yes.”

Xue Qinghe and Xue Manshu agreed in unison.

A moment later, Qin Ming, Yue Guan and Dugu Bo also entered the hall led by their attendants.

At this moment, the original discussions in the hall stopped.

Everyone’s attention was attracted by Qin Ming and his two companions.

Seeing Dugu Bo and Yue Guan following a blond young man on the left and right, Emperor Xue Ye frowned.

Looking at Dugu Bo’s expression, Emperor Xue Ye knew that Dugu Bo had probably agreed to join the Spirit Hall. Otherwise, he would not have walked behind Qin Ming.

While thinking, Emperor Xue Ye turned his gaze to Qin Ming, who was walking in front.

“Is this person Qin Ming? His appearance doesn’t match the information!”

According to the information Xue Xing gave him, Qin Ming had chestnut hair, was about 1.7 meters tall, and looked a little immature in both appearance and temperament.

Qin Ming’s current appearance is completely different from what Xue Xing said…

Thinking of this, Emperor Xue Ye subconsciously glanced at Xue Xing beside him.

At this time, Xue Ye was also stunned by Qin Ming’s appearance.

He didn’t expect Qin Ming’s appearance to have changed so much after not seeing him for just one day.

Seeing Xue Xing’s expression, Emperor Xue Ye also reacted.

He knew that Xue Xing’s previous information was correct, and Qin Ming’s change in appearance was most likely due to other reasons.

After realizing this, Emperor Xue Ye felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

In Douluo Continent, changes in appearance within a short period of time can basically be linked to a significant increase in soul power.

Guessing that Qin Ming might have made a breakthrough in his soul power, Emperor Xue Ye became more and more anxious…

After a while, Qin Ming and the other two, led by their attendants, sat down at the main table.

Dugu Bo was arranged to sit next to Xue Xing, and Yue Guan sat beside Dugu Bo.

Qin Ming was arranged to sit next to Xue Manshu.

Seeing this, Yue Guan narrowed his eyes.

Qin Ming didn’t care about these things. After sitting down, he saluted to Emperor Xue Ye.

“I am Qin Ming, honored to meet your majesty.”

Hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye nodded.

“Qin Ming, wait a moment, the banquet will start soon.”

As he spoke, Emperor Xue Ye gestured to the attendants beside him.

Soon, the banquet officially began, and countless beautiful maids walked into the banquet hall carrying various delicacies…

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

Emperor Xue Ye asked Qin Ming.

“Qin Ming, I heard from Xue Xing that there were two Titled Douluo guarding you on your trip?
Now, I have met Elder Ju Douluo.

I wonder where the other His Majesty is now?”

Hearing this, Qin Ming, who was concentrating on the food on the plate, put down the knife and fork in his hand.

Qin Ming said without blushing or beating his heart.

“Your Majesty, Ghost Douluo has left for some urgent business.

Otherwise, he would have come to the banquet tonight.”

At this time, under Qin Ming’s arrangement, Gui Mei was looking for the trace of the Vast Sea Universe Cover in the Tiandou Palace…

After hearing what Qin Ming said, Emperor Xue Ye knew that he would not be able to get anything out of Qin Ming.

However, Emperor Xue Ye was not in a hurry. He asked again.

“Qin Ming, are you married now?”

When Qin Ming heard Emperor Xue Ye suddenly change the subject, he was unable to react for a moment.

Seeing this, Emperor Xue Ye said with a smile.

“Qin Ming, look at Xue Manshu next to you. She is the daughter of my sister and Duke Hamos.

Manshu is about your age, and in my opinion, you two are…”

“Your Majesty, please don’t speak nonsense!”

Before Emperor Xue Ye could finish his words, Yue Guan interrupted him with a dark face.

Talking about the timeline, it took me more than an hour to sort out this information…

For age estimation, please refer to Chapter 164 of the original text, Royal Secrets.

The following is the information from the original text.

Xue Beng is about 30 years old, Tang San is 18 years old (12 years difference)
Xue Beng was 7 years old and Xue Qinghe was 15 years old (8 years difference). The third prince died this year and the second prince died the year before.

The following is speculation.
The current timeline is 9 years before Tang San was born. Xue Beng should be 3 years old at this time, and Xue Qinghe is already 11 years old. In other words, in the original work, Qian Renxue went to Tiandou Palace when she was 3 years old.

This is a big bug, so I modified the timeline.

Currently, Xue Qinghe is set to be 6 years old and has just awakened his martial soul. Qian Renxue went to Tiandou Palace at the age of 9 to replace Xue Qinghe.
