Douluo: Make a gun first

Chapter 86 Meeting with 'Xue Qinghe' (I)

"Dugu Yan (Ye Lingling) from Tiandou Royal Academy greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Xue Qinghe coming, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling immediately bowed.

Seeing through it all but not saying it out loud, Shen Feng pretended not to have heard the female voice and followed suit and bowed.

"I am Shen Feng, a humble servant. I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wonder what is the important matter for His Royal Highness to come here?"

Xue Qinghe quickly straightened his expression, coughed lightly and said, "No need to be polite, I am just expressing my condolences to the younger generation of the empire on behalf of my father."

"I just didn't expect to encounter such a 'funny' right after arriving here. I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Please forgive me."

Ye Lingling glared at Shen Feng: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has misunderstood"

Xue Qinghe immediately waved his hand to stop Ye Lingling from speaking, and said with a smile: "No need to explain, no need to explain, I understand everything, I understand everything."

"As young people, it's understandable that they spend more money on entertainment."

"What I didn't expect was that the famous iceberg beauty of my Tiandou Royal Academy would actually be melted one day. This is really a happy thing, a happy thing."

"Eh?" Ye Lingling was flustered. "No, Your Highness, it's not what you think."

"Okay, I know, I know everything. In that case, I won't bother you anymore. Have fun, haha~"

Seeing that he could hardly hold it back any longer, Xue Qinghe quickly found an excuse and turned away.

"Hahaha, it's great to be young. It's great to be young."

It's a pity that I don't have my youthful moments.
After Xue Qinghe left, Ye Lingling glared at Shen Feng with shame and anger, and then began to blame Dugu Yan.

"Yanzi, it's all your fault. You made me look so ugly."

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spreads this, I, I..."

Dugu Yan laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? My little brother is not bad. Not only is he talented, but he's also very handsome."

"The color on his face will disappear in a few days. Really, you won't suffer any loss even if you admit it directly."

Ye Lingling suddenly panicked, "Oh, you know, that's not what I meant."

"I, I, you, ah~, forget it, I'm not going to pay attention to you, but I can't argue with you."

Dugu Yan could always find Ye Lingling's weakness and tease her into breaking down her defenses with just a few words.

Even if Ye Lingling has closed her heart and has always been calm, she cannot remain cold and aloof in front of Dugu Yan forever.

Thanks to Dugu Yan, Shen Feng finally realized that Ye Lingling actually had such a smart side.

This shows that Ye Lingling has not really closed her heart. Her image of an iceberg who doesn't allow strangers to approach is just because she is too scared.

Fear of losing, fear of hurting others, fear of bringing misfortune to others after accepting others.

All in all, it’s just that this girl is too kind and worried that being sentimental will hurt herself and others.

After all, only if you don't expect anything, you won't be hurt.

Shen Feng's mouth corners slightly raised, feeling excited about his discovery.

"Lingling, don't be afraid anymore. I will protect you from now on."

Shen Feng couldn't help but speak out what was in his heart.

"Eh?"

In the noisy hall, Ye Lingling's world suddenly became silent for a moment, and in her mind, she kept repeating, "Lingling, don't be afraid anymore. I will protect you from now on."

"Don't be afraid anymore. I will protect you from now on."

"I will protect you from now on."

"Let me protect you."

'To protect you.'

For a brief moment, a fleeting and inexplicable light flashed in Ye Lingling's big, watery eyes.

"No, I don't need anyone's protection. Remember, it means anyone, including you." After saying that, Ye Lingling turned around and left, fleeing in a hurry to hide her uneasy heart.

Dugu Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gave Shen Feng a thumbs up, "Come on, little brother. I'll go and help you find out."

As he spoke, Dugu Yan chased straight in the direction Ye Lingling left.

"Zizi, it looks like Master Shen has failed."

Suddenly, Xue Qinghe's voice sounded beside Shen Feng.

Shen Feng glanced at him from the corner of his eye and sighed, "It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never pursued a girl."

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Haha, Mr. Shen is joking."

"You may not know, but being the crown prince is not easy. At least, I don't have the right to pursue girls."

Shen Feng turned his head and looked at him. Even if it is up to you, can you really do it?

"Let's go, Your Highness."

Xue Qinghe was stunned again, because Shen Feng's words were so abrupt that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

"Go, where?"

Shen Feng frowned slightly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has come here twice in a row, isn't it to find me?"

"Don't tell me this is all a coincidence. I don't think the Crown Prince would be that boring."

Xue Qinghe suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, I am here to find Master Shen."

"Since Mr. Shen is free now, please follow me."

After he finished speaking, Xue Qinghe took the lead and walked forward, and Shen Feng followed without hesitation.

It was not until this time that the members of the Royal Fighting Team who were scattered throughout the hall finally arrived.

Looking at the empty seats, Yu Feng asked in confusion: "Didn't we say we should gather here at Lingling?"

"What? Are we late?"

Yu Tianheng shook his head: "I saw Brother Shen being taken away by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shi Mo said in a humming voice: "My two brothers saw Yan Zi and Ling Ling go out together. We called them, but they didn't hear us."

Yu Tianheng nodded: "Forget it, let's just wait for them here. There are too many people, and it will be hard to find them if they get separated."

At this time, in a tea room far away from the main hall, Shen Feng and Xue Qinghe sat opposite each other, with only a small tea table between them.

Xue Qinghe skillfully poured a cup of tea for Shen Feng and gently placed it in front of him: "Master Shen, why do you still hide your face when you are here?"

"This tea is the best spring tea sent as tribute from your hometown. You can't taste it with your veil on."

Shen Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I have to hide my face, but my dignity is really an eyesore."

As he spoke, Shen Feng pulled off the black veil covering his face, revealing his colorful clown appearance.

Xue Qinghe was stunned. He wanted to laugh out loud but felt it was not polite, so he had a hard time holding it back.

Shen Feng sighed and put on the veil again, "Your Highness, laugh if you want to. Anyway, along the way, everyone who should laugh has already laughed."

Xue Qinghe picked up the tea and suppressed the smile on his face: "I haven't seen you for a few months. Why are you so embarrassed, Mr. Shen?"

"Logically speaking, given Senior Poison Douluo's knowledge of pharmacology, he shouldn't let you get poisoned."

Shen Feng's eyes were filled with helplessness: "Oh, don't mention it. This ridiculous image of mine is all thanks to the Poison Douluo Senior you mentioned."

"He just wanted me to embarrass myself in front of everyone, so he attacked me on the way here."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this matter. Let's talk about what the prince asked me to come here for."

Hearing that Shen Feng wanted to talk about serious matters, Xue Qinghe suppressed his curiosity, straightened his expression, and said in a serious tone:
"Mr. Shen, what do you think of the Spirit Hall?"
