324 Yuexuan"Who is it?" Xue Qinghe was flustered and his tone was totally out of control.
It would not be a problem to save Xue Ye. After all, the imperial palace has been surrounded by him. Even if Xue Ye comes back to life, what's the use? He won't have to give up his throne obediently, right?
What he was most worried about was who could save Xue Ye. Once he took Xue Ye away from the palace, and Xue Ye mobilized the imperial cavalry outside the city, Xue Qinghe would not be able to defend the palace.
Qi Tian pressed his hand, signaling him to relax, "I can't tell you the identity of that person for now. However, I will try to recruit him. If I fail, I will deal with all the consequences."
He couldn't sell Yang Wudi out. In addition to his great strength, his alchemy skills were also unrivaled. Recruiting such a talent would bring more benefits than killing him.
But if he fails to recruit him, Qi Tian will never give him to Tang San.
Xue Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief. Since they were already allies, he certainly believed that Qi Tian would not do anything about this matter.
"Your goal is to get him to join your sect, right?"
Qi Tian said frankly: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, I have this intention. However, the location of the sect has not been found yet. I hope Your Highness can sell me a piece of land in Tiandou City."
Xue Qinghe was not surprised. To establish a large sect, land was indeed needed.
On the contrary, if Qi Tian established his sect outside of Tiandou City, Xue Qinghe would be somewhat unhappy. As allies, they must help each other.
Establishing the sect outside the city is not a disguised way of saying that they are on guard against him.
After a little thought, Xue Qinghe made a decision in his mind, "Isn't there a ready-made land?"
"Oh? Where?" Qi Tian asked puzzledly.
Xue Qinghe said: "Didn't you say at the beginning that you wanted to incorporate the Three Elemental Families into your sect? Wouldn't the land as large as Elemental City fall into your hands?"
"In this way, the cost of building a sect will be much lower. The disciples of these three major families can live in the original family residences, and there is no need to build additional houses."
Yeah, why didn't I think of that.
Qi Tian slapped his forehead and said awkwardly: "But, there are not only the forces of the three major families in Element City, but also the Elephant Armor Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Family."
"If I drive the Elephant Armor Academy away, I'm afraid the Spirit Hall won't be able to get through with it, right?"
Xue Qinghe certainly had his considerations for letting Qi Tian take over Element City.
If he directly came forward and allocated a piece of land to Qi Tian, wouldn't that be a disguised announcement that Qi Tian was his supporter?
In this case, would the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect still support him as it does now? Not to mention, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is still one of the targets in the next soul hunting operation.
After destroying the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and promoting Qi Tian to the throne, he would inevitably be criticized as "killing the donkey after it has served its purpose".
By keeping a distance from Qi Tian temporarily, he can also take a certain initiative.
"I will coordinate with the Spirit Hall, and the Elephant Armor Sect will not seek revenge on you. But how to drive the Elephant Armor Sect out depends on your ability. Don't worry, you are my ally, and I will solve all your problems in secret."
After a pause, he continued, "I have something else that I need you to ask Senior Dugu to help me with. Xue Ye is seriously ill and his life is at stake. I need Senior Dugu to personally announce that Xue Ye has an incurable disease and cannot be saved."
It is easy to understand that Xue Qinghe wants to inherit the throne legitimately. If he keeps it a secret, coupled with the current situation of decentralized power in the Tiandou Empire, I am afraid that many people will attack him in the name of clearing the court of evil.
"I understand. I will make proper arrangements." Qi Tian nodded.
"Today is a happy day, so let's stop here for business. Brother Qitian, my sister has been studying at Yuexuan for several years, and today is their graduation ceremony. Would you be so kind as to accompany me to Yuexuan to show your support for my sister?"
Qi Tian nodded in agreement.
It just so happened that he also wanted to go and see Tang San.
Besides, with his current strength, he is able to escape the Spirit Hall's hunt for him, so why not appear in front of people openly?
…
In the most prosperous area in the center of Tiandou City, Xue Qinghe's carriage stopped in front of a tall building.
This is a five-story building with a slightly simple overall architectural style. A plaque with the word "Yuexuan" is hung at the entrance.
Those who come in and out of Yuexuan are all noble children with luxurious clothes and excellent temperament.
Seeing the carriage of the Crown Prince's Mansion, these people bowed and saluted, "We respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The first person to get off the carriage was Qi Tian, and these people immediately looked at him with contempt.
Qi Tian's dress was obviously out of tune with these people. In their eyes, he was just a wild man. These self-righteous guys certainly looked down on him.
However, as Xue Qinghe got off the carriage, these people's gazes immediately narrowed and were replaced with flattering ones.
Xue Qinghe ignored these people and turned to Qi Tian and said, "Earl Qi Tian, please."
"Your Highness, please."
After the two entered Yuexuan, these people talked among themselves: "That man is an earl, how could there be such a vulgar guy?"
"He is most likely a reckless man who has made great achievements on the battlefield. It is a great honor for him to be valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's right. We have been well-read since childhood and have learned court etiquette in Yuexuan. Sooner or later, we will have the opportunity to enter the court and realize our ambitions. Those reckless men are nothing but flatterers."
Of course Qi Tian could hear the discussions outside the door.
"These descendants of noble families are always a bit arrogant. Brother Qitian, please don't bother with them." Xue Qinghe said apologetically.
Qi Tian was too lazy to bother with these "literati and scholars", they were just narrow-minded second-generation rich people.
Soon, a graceful lady came to greet them, "I am honored to have your Highness the Crown Prince visit me."
Xue Qinghe said in a gentle tone: "Madam Yuehua, you are joking. I came here to attend the graduation ceremony of my sister. I hope I didn't disturb you."
"Your Highness, please follow me. The graduation ceremony will begin soon." Tang Yuehua chuckled and led Xue Qinghe and the other person to a courtyard not far away.
Qi Tian followed behind, looking at Madam Yuehua curiously.
Yuexuan was opened here, and attracted countless nobles to send their disciples to study. It is impossible for Tang Yuehua, who cannot break through the tenth level of soul power, to do it alone.
I don't know whether the Haotian Sect is secretly contributing behind this.
As you enter the courtyard, melodious music floats over.
"Brother Qitian, this should be your first time attending such an occasion?" Xue Qinghe turned sideways with a relaxed smile on his face.
Music is a medicine to heal the soul for those who understand it, but for Qi Tian, it is just like noise.
Tang Yuehua said softly: "Your Highness, the graduation ceremony has begun. Please take a seat." (End of this chapter)
