Chapter 37 - Chapter 37: Xue Qinghe's Joke

Looking at Emperor Xue Ye above, a faint trace of contemplation flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.

"Father, I will do my best to try this matter."

As Xue Qinghe said this, he bowed to Emperor Xue Ye.

"Hmm, there is no harm in trying."

"If there is nothing else, you should go back and find Ye Xi."

"Whether it is the location needed to establish the organization or the resources required, they can all be provided by our Royal Family."

A smile appeared on Emperor Xue Ye's face, and his gaze towards Xue Qinghe was full of gratification.

Emperor Xue Ye felt that as long as Xue Qinghe tried, the chances of success would be very high.

As the Crown Prince of their Heaven Dou Royal Family, Xue Qinghe had both looks and status, and his talent was also very good. With these conditions, going to coax that nine-year-old girl, Ye Xi, seemed to have a very high chance of success no matter how one looked at it.

After all, no matter how smart or gifted Ye Xi was, she was ultimately just a child.

Moreover, even if it didn't succeed in the end, their Heaven Dou Royal Family would not lose anything; it would just be a matter of the size of the harvest.

"Father, then I will take my leave."

Xue Qinghe revealed a gentle smile, bowed to Emperor Xue Ye, and then walked towards the outside of the palace hall.

Watching Xue Qinghe leave, Emperor Xue Ye did not speak again, but lowered his head to handle the government affairs in front of him.

Walking out of the main hall, Xue Qinghe's footsteps paused slightly. He glanced at the palace behind him without changing his expression, and a smile appeared on his elegant face.

"Emperor Xue Ye, your idea is really not bad."

"But it is a pity that the one who wins without losing is ultimately not you."

Xue Qinghe thought secretly in his heart, but his footsteps were headed towards his own palace.

Returning to the Crown Prince's palace, seeing Ye Xi eating pastries, Xue Qinghe went directly to sit in front of Ye Xi.

"How was it? What did Emperor Xue Ye say?"

Ye Xi picked up the teapot and reached out to pour a cup of tea for Xue Qinghe.

"Things went very smoothly. Whether it is the place to establish the organization or the resources required, the Heaven Dou Royal Family can provide them."

Xue Qinghe picked up the tea, took a sip, and then continued, "However, Emperor Xue Ye has quite a lot of ideas."

As Xue Qinghe said this, he couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

"Quite a lot of ideas?"

"What other ideas does Emperor Xue Ye have?"

Ye Xi blinked her azure eyes, looking at the Xue Qinghe in front of her with some confusion.

"Emperor Xue Ye has the idea of making you the Crown Princess."

Xue Qinghe clasped his hands together, looking at Ye Xi with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Hearing Xue Qinghe's words, Ye Xi was slightly stunned.

Ye Xi had thought that Emperor Xue Ye would take the opportunity to propose some conditions, but she really didn't expect that Emperor Xue Ye would actually set his sights on her.

You must know, she was only nine years old now, and still just a child.

Looking at Ye Xi's expression, a thought arose in Xue Qinghe to tease Ye Xi.

"How about it? Do you want to consider it?"

"If you become the Crown Princess, I can take the entire Heaven Dou Empire as a betrothal gift for you."

Xue Qinghe reached out and lifted Ye Xi's chin, looking at Ye Xi with that same smile.

Feeling Xue Qinghe's action, Ye Xi was slightly dazed, and then her cheeks turned slightly red. Although she knew that the Xue Qinghe in front of her was her sister Qian Renxue, looking at Xue Qinghe's elegant face, Ye Xi still felt her cheeks burning.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the palace, She Long, who had appeared out of nowhere, was standing quietly with a piece of intelligence in his hand.

She Long had not arrived long ago, but he had heard all the words Xue Qinghe had just spoken.

Therefore, he did not know whether he should speak up now.

Ling Yuan, who was standing behind Ye Xi, silently looked up at the ceiling of the palace, with the appearance of having heard nothing and seen nothing.

"You are a good person, but I really won't consider it."

Ye Xi rolled her eyes at Xue Qinghe, speaking in a joking tone.

"That is truly a pity."

Xue Qinghe withdrew his hand, picked up a piece of pastry, and replied in the same joking tone.

"Young Lord, Second Miss, I have received a piece of intelligence here. Would you like to take a look?"

She Long walked towards Xue Qinghe with the intelligence.

"Intelligence?"

Xue Qinghe reached out and took the intelligence from She Long's hand, examining it carefully.

"Ye Xi, have you had any dealings with people from the Nine Heart Begonia Family?"

"Why is the Nine Heart Begonia Family inquiring about you?"

Xue Qinghe handed the intelligence in his hand to Ye Xi, his brows furrowing slightly.

"The Nine Heart Begonia Family?"

"After I arrived in Heaven Dou City, I haven't seen anyone from the Nine Heart Begonia Family, so how could I have had any dealings with them?"

Ye Xi picked up the intelligence and silently examined it.

"That is strange."

"Why would the Nine Heart Begonia Family inquire about you for no reason?"

Xue Qinghe clasped his hands together, a trace of doubt appearing in his eyes.

"Let's wait and see for now."

"Let's see what the Nine Heart Begonia Family is really up to."

Ye Xi thought for a moment and said softly.

"Hmm, let's do that for now."

Xue Qinghe nodded in agreement.

"Sister, do you have time now?"

"If you have time, let's go and take a look at that place. If it is suitable, we will establish the organization there."

"As for the matter of the Nine Heart Begonia Family, I can handle it myself."

Ye Xi stood up from her seat, stretched her waist, and then looked at Xue Qinghe.

"I have nothing to do right now, so it's perfect to take you to see that place."

Xue Qinghe rose from his seat, glanced at She Long, and said, "She Long, you stay in the Imperial Palace. It will be enough to have Ling Yuan follow us."

As his voice fell, Xue Qinghe took Ye Xi and Ling Yuan and left the palace.

She Long remained behind, watching their receding figures.

Walking in the Imperial Palace, Ye Xi and Xue Qinghe appeared to be talking happily along the way.

Soon, the group walked out of the Imperial Palace and headed towards the south of Heaven Dou City.

After about half an hour, the group arrived in front of a huge open space and stopped.

"This is the place I told you about."

"The environment here is good, and there are no other organizations nearby. What do you think?"

Xue Qinghe pointed to the open space in front of him, asking for Ye Xi's opinion.

"It's fine."

"This place is big enough; it's more than enough to establish an organization."

Ye Xi looked at the surrounding environment and nodded with satisfaction.

"Then let it be here."

"Do you need me to help you find construction workers?"

Xue Qinghe placed his hand on Ye Xi, asking softly.

"Construction workers are not needed."

"I already have candidates for this aspect."

Ye Xi smiled, her voice full of confidence.
