That night, Han Li didn't ask about Dugu Bo's situation.
In any case, when he saw Dugu Bo again the next day, he found him in quite a good mood.
Salas always handled things efficiently, so Han Li didn't need to worry about it at all.
According to the itinerary he sent, Han Li and Dugu Bo set off for the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace together.
Xue Ye was in high spirits, and the contradictory traits of majesty and amiability were perfectly blended in him.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, one kept praising the other for being young and promising, and told him to come home often, while the other frantically praised His Majesty for governing the country well, saying that Notting City was his eternal home.
Neither of them mentioned Dugu Bo, Star Luo, or Spirit Hall, and they chatted like elders and juniors, casually talking about family matters.
Later, Xue Ye even recalled the specific details of handling the aftermath of Han Li's parents, squeezing out two tears.
Han Li also lowered his head, wearing a sad expression.
It wasn't until Xue Qinghe took the initiative to stand up and invite Han Li to visit the Imperial City that the two of them emerged from their grief.
Xue Ye asked Xue Qinghe to entertain Han Li well, and he excused himself with important matters to attend to, which concluded the meeting.
Then, surrounded by guards, the two walked out of the palace.
After leaving the palace, Han Li said he wasn't used to being surrounded by guards.
Xue Qinghe then waved away most of the guards, leaving only a few to keep a distant watch on the situation with Dugu Bo trailing behind.
The two quickly strolled around the city, and then, at Xue Qinghe's enthusiastic invitation, headed towards the Crown Prince's Residence.
Along the way, people kept recognizing Xue Qinghe and greeting him, and Xue Qinghe responded with a smile and a nod.
Of course, Han Li, who was beside him, was also recognized. The Spirit Hall Saint Child was a popular figure, and since yesterday, news of him had been flying all over Heaven Dou City.
However, they didn't dare to greet him presumptuously, only daring to steal a glance while greeting Xue Qinghe.
The news that the Crown Prince and the Spirit Hall Saint Child were talking happily, strolling arm in arm, and that he had been invited to the residence as a guest, quickly spread throughout the city.
The common people of Heaven Dou City were beaming with joy. This was a great thing for them. The Spirit Hall Saint Child's first public appearance was a friendly stroll with the Crown Prince.
This fully proved that the Spirit Hall was still on the side of Heaven Dou, and it also showed that Han Li, the Spirit Hall Saint Child who came from Heaven Dou, had not forgotten his roots just because he had become a member of the Spirit Hall, and still cared about the Heaven Dou Empire.
The heirs of the two top forces of the two continents were on such good terms, which meant peace.
More and more people, hearing the news, rushed over, as if to witness history, their enthusiasm was terrifying.
Even Han Li, the Spirit Hall Saint Child, enjoyed the treatment that Xue Qinghe usually received.
Fortunately, they were moving fast enough, and just as Han Li was about to lose his smile, the two finally arrived at the Crown Prince's Residence.
At Han Li's suggestion, Dugu Bo was arranged in a side hall.
The two of them then took their seats again, and after being treated to a series of songs, dances, and talent shows, they dismissed their subordinates, saying they had something to discuss, and the room finally became quiet.
Han Li took a deep breath and looked at Xue Qinghe, who looked as calm as ever.
"You've had it pretty rough too, aren't you tired?"
"I'm used to it."
Although Xue Qinghe also relaxed a little, he still didn't take off his mask, remaining in his original appearance and voice.
"Alright, don't worry, no one's here. The two elders don't need to hide either, come out."
Han Li said to him, and then a voice suddenly came from behind him.
Xue Qinghe didn't react to his words, as if he didn't know anything.
Han Li glanced at him, said nothing, took out his Holy Son Token from his bosom, and threw it towards the place where he had spoken before.
The sound of air being torn apart rang out, and just as the token was about to fall to the ground, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and grasped it.
In the next second, two figures appeared in the hall, bowing to Han Li.
"She Mao, Ci Tun, greetings, Holy Son Your Highness, we were remiss just now."
"Alright, the two elders don't need to be so polite, it's understandable to be cautious."
Han Li also stood up, cupped his hands at the two of them, took back the Holy Son Token, and turned his gaze to Xue Qinghe.
"Alright, you two elders, please leave first, lest you be discovered by Dugu Bo."
Although Xue Qinghe hadn't restored her appearance at this time, she was using a female voice.
"Yes, Young Master, Holy Son Your Highness, we will take our leave first."
Ci Tun and She Mao looked at the two of them, then bid farewell and left.
This time, they really left.
"How did you discover them?"
Qian Renxue, wearing Xue Qinghe's face, looked at Han Li in confusion.
"My Spiritual Power is just a little bit stronger."
Han Li replied somewhat modestly.
"Oh, really?"
Qian Renxue gave him a deep look, not believing his words.
The reason She Mao and Ci Tun were able to stay by her side was that, although their strength wasn't particularly strong among the Titled Douluo, their concealment skills were no joke.
Not to mention anything else, didn't Dugu Bo fail to discover them just now? But they were easily detected by Han Li.
This couldn't be explained by just having a little bit stronger Spiritual Power.
"Then tell me, should I call you Xiao Yan? Or Han Li?"
Qian Renxue suddenly smiled, her pleasant female voice coupled with Xue Qinghe's slightly androgynous face gave Han Li goosebumps.
"Whatever makes you happy, it's just a code name."
Han Li didn't care at all. If she wanted to use this to get back at him, she was thinking too much.
If it really came down to it, she could call him Qian Xunji, and he would happily agree, if Qian Renxue was willing to call him that.
"Forget it, it's really not important."
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Qian Renxue lost interest.
"By the way, what brings you to Heaven Dou this time? You even made a special trip to find me."
Qian Renxue changed the subject and looked at Han Li.
"Hmm? You don't know?"
From her tone and expression, Han Li concluded that she really didn't know anything.
"Should I know?"
Qian Renxue asked back as a matter of course.
"I thought Grand Uncle-Master had already told you."
Han Li honestly replied, then added, "But it doesn't matter anymore, I'm already here anyway."
"I'm here for two things this time."
"First, it's kind of a debut, after all, I'm planning to come out and travel in the future; second, since I've found you, do I need to continue?"
Han Li looked at Xue Qinghe's changing expression and spread his hands towards her.
"You were also sent by Grandfather to persuade me to give up the infiltration plan?"
Qian Renxue's voice turned cold.
"If I persuade you, will you listen?"
Han Li glanced at her change and already knew the answer, answering indifferently.
"No."
Qian Renxue shook her head decisively.
"Then that's it, I already know the answer, why would I persuade you? Am I that idle?"
Han Li struck a pose that suggested he hadn't even considered trying to dissuade her.
"So? You support me?"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, and the way she looked at Han Li was no longer as cold as before, as if she had finally found someone who could understand her.
