Deep in the Tiandou Palace, the magnificent palace looks even more solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Led by a clever maid, Nalan Xiong walked along the winding corridors, through a quiet garden, and finally arrived at Xueqinghe's palace.

In front of the palace gate, two majestic stone lions seem to be guarding this holy land, while inside the gate, there is a royal style.

Nalan Xiong stepped into the palace and saw that the light inside was soft and the air was filled with a faint sandalwood scent.

Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Tiandou royal family, was sitting on the main throne, holding an ancient book in his hands, with an extraordinary temperament revealed between his brows.

When he saw Nalan Xiong coming in, he gently put down the ancient book, stood up, smiled and raised his hand to signal: "Welcome sir, please take a seat."

Nalan Xiong nodded slightly and glanced at Xue Qinghe. He saw that the eldest prince was handsome and his manners revealed a calm and unhurried demeanor.

He thought to himself: "What a humble young man who is courteous to others. The Tiandou royal family is indeed worthy of its reputation."

After Nalan Xiong sat down, Xue Qinghe also sat down again. He looked directly into Nalan Xiong's eyes and said sincerely, "Mr. Nalan, I will get straight to the point. I invited you here today because I want to ask you something. Our Tiandou Imperial Family has always longed to have a strong man like you as our guest elder. I wonder if you are willing?"

When Nalan Xiong heard this, his heart moved slightly.

He knew that the position of guest elder was extremely important in the Tiandou royal family. Not only did he enjoy extremely high status and treatment, but he could also provide advice to the royal family at critical moments.

However, he also knows that this position is also full of challenges and responsibilities.

He pondered for a moment, raised his head, and looked at Xue Qinghe with a firm gaze: "Your Highness, I am grateful that you think highly of me. If I can do my part for the Tiandou royal family, I will naturally do my best to help."

Xue Qinghe was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood up, walked to Nalan Xiong, held his hands with both hands, and said excitedly: "That's great! With Mr. Nalan's help, our Tiandou royal family will be even more powerful!"

Nalan Xiong's lips curled up in a faint arc and he nodded slightly, showing due respect to the noble Crown Prince Xue Qinghe in front of him.

Inside the palace, candlelight flickered and light and shadows were mottled. At this moment, the conversation between the two seemed to be endowed with some kind of mysterious power, making the surrounding atmosphere gradually become heated.

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the joy in his heart, and put on a solemn expression.

"Mr. Nalan, there have been some unusual movements in Tiandou City recently." Xue Qinghe's voice was low and powerful, as if it contained some kind of unquestionable authority.

Nalan Xiong nodded slightly, motioning him to continue. His eyes revealed a wisdom that saw through everything, as if he had already guessed what Xue Qinghe was going to say next.

"These days, there are suddenly many more soul masters from hidden sects in the city. They move in secret and seem to be looking for something." Xue Qinghe's voice was filled with worry, "I'm worried that there is some hidden conspiracy behind this."

Nalan Xiong frowned slightly. He naturally understood what the appearance of these soul masters meant. In this world where soul masters are respected, the appearance of any hidden sect could cause an uproar.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness. Since I, Nalan Xiong, have agreed to stay in Tiandou City, I will naturally do my best to share your worries." Nalan Xiong's voice was firm and powerful, like a towering mountain, giving people endless trust.

A gratified smile appeared on Xue Qinghe's face. He knew that Nalan Xiong's strength and wisdom were extraordinary. With him by his side, he would undoubtedly have a powerful helper.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Nalan." Xue Qinghe's voice was filled with gratitude, "I believe that with your help, we will be able to find out the true purpose of these soul masters."

Nalan Xiong stood in the magnificent hall of the Tiandou Palace. His eyes were deep and firm, as if they could penetrate layers of fog and reach the unknown distance.

He nodded slightly, as if making the most direct response to the upcoming challenge and danger. There was an indescribable light flashing in his eyes, which was the tenacity and perseverance of a warrior.

He knew in his heart that the days ahead would be the most difficult time in his life. He might face countless unknown dangers and might even pay with his life.

However, for him, all these are just hardships on the road ahead, and he has already prepared himself mentally to face all challenges.

He chatted with Xue Qinghe for a while, and their words were full of expectations for the future and trust in each other.

Then, Nalan Xiong turned and left, his back looking even more determined in the moonlight.

Shortly after he left, a guard in silver armor, with a solemn expression, quickly came to the door of Emperor Xue Ye and saluted respectfully.

“Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just summoned Nalan Xiong of the Yunlan Sect to the Yuehua Palace.” The guard’s voice was clear and firm, and every word was as resounding as ice crystals.

Emperor Xue Ye nodded slightly, his deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the endless darkness and look directly into people's hearts. He listened quietly to the guard's narration, and a ripple rose in his heart.

"Oh? Nalan Xiong?"

He repeated the name softly, as if he were savoring a glass of fine wine.

This name was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

What was familiar to him was that Nalan Xiong was a leader of the younger generation of the Yunlan Sect, with a special martial spirit and extraordinary soul power; what was unfamiliar to him was that he had never thought that this elite of the Yunlan Sect would have any intersection with the eldest prince.

"What did they talk about in the palace?" Emperor Xue Ye's tone was filled with curiosity and inquiry.

The guard did not dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately replied, "Your Majesty, the two talked for about an incense stick of time. I don't know the specific content, but I saw that Nalan Xiong was in a hurry when he left, as if there was something urgent."

Emperor Xue Ye sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes like torches, flashing a sharp and deep light.

He stared ahead, as if he could penetrate the layers of palace walls and peek into the outside world. His eyes were full of admiration and surprise for Xue Qinghe.

This young prince usually does not show off his abilities, but he can demonstrate extraordinary wisdom and means at critical moments.

Emperor Xue Ye clearly remembered that not long ago, he had doubts about Xue Qinghe's ability to do things, but now, this doubt has been dispelled to a large extent.

In a short period of time, Xue Qinghe found an excellent helper named Nalan Xiong.

Nalan Xiong's name is also a shining existence in the royal archives. His martial soul and soul power levels are both top-level.

Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart that Xue Qinghe had a good vision and was able to discover such a talent.

He tapped the armrest gently, and the rhythm of his fingers seemed to tell his mood. His heart was full of expectations and confidence in Xue Qinghe.

At the same time, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but think silently in his heart.

If Xue Qinghe can continue to develop like this, then is it possible for him to become the hope of the royal family's future?

And he will also hand over this important task to Xue Qinghe with peace of mind. He believes that under Xue Qinghe's leadership, the royal family will usher in a more glorious tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
