Chapter 75: Teachings from "Older Brother"
Xue Qinghe walked into the room with a feather duster in his hand, his angry expression as gloomy as the clouds before a storm.
When Xue Beng saw Xue Qinghe enter, his face turned deathly pale, but he still tried to force a flattering smile.
"Big brother, what brings you here?" Xue Beng's voice trembled slightly.
"Hmph, if I hadn't come, you would have utterly disgraced the Heavenly Dou Royal Family!" Xue Qinghe's eyes widened in anger, and he gripped the feather duster even tighter.
"Avalanche, what are you thinking? The Fourth Prince, of all people, has actually done such a despicable thing!"
Xue Beng shrank back, explaining, "Brother, I just... I was just confused for a moment. This woman is just too beautiful, I couldn't resist..."
"Couldn't hold back?" Xue Qinghe sneered.
"All you know is lust for women! Don't you know what stage the empire is in right now? What we need is the support of the people and the various factions, but you're here causing trouble!"
"Big brother, I was wrong. I won't do it again next time." Avalanche lowered his head to admit his mistake, but there was still a trace of resentment in his eyes.
"Next time? You think there will be a next time?" Xue Qinghe stepped forward and smacked Xue Beng hard on the shoulder with a feather duster.
"Look at what you've done today! First, you conspired with that inexplicable fat guy, and now you're trying to harm Liu Erlong of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. Do you know how serious the consequences will be?"
Xue Beng muttered, "What's so great about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan? Do you think our Heavenly Dou Empire is afraid of them?"
"What do you know!" Xue Qinghe's voice rose several decibels in anger.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's influence on the Douluo Continent should not be underestimated. Although our Heaven Dou Empire has considerable strength, now is definitely not the time to clash with them."
"If your outrageous behavior sparks a conflict between the two factions, the entire empire will be thrown into turmoil. At that point, forget about your pleasure-seeking; we might lose everything we have!"
Hearing this, Avalanche was somewhat frightened, but still stubbornly replied:
"Brother, why don't we just send her back and pretend nothing happened?"
"Send it back?" Xue Qinghe laughed angrily.
"Avalanche, you're thinking too simply. Do you think Liu Erlong is an ordinary woman? She holds an important position in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect."
"Once she wakes up and tells everyone what happened today, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan will definitely become suspicious and hostile towards us. Even if they don't start a war immediately, they will secretly sabotage us, which will be extremely detrimental to our plans."
The avalanche seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and fell silent.
Xue Qinghe continued to lecture, "As a prince, you should have the responsibility and duty of a prince. Look at what you do every day? Stealing chickens and dogs, flirting with women, you have completely disgraced the royal family."
"Your father asked you to study government affairs, but you always do it perfunctorily, and your mind is all on these trivial matters."
Avalanche looked up, his face full of grievance, and said, "Big brother, you know I have absolutely no interest in those political affairs. I'm not as smart as you to handle those complicated matters so well."
"Not interested?" Xue Qinghe rebuked, "This is not an excuse for you to shirk your responsibilities! Do you think I was born to enjoy handling those political affairs? But we were born into the royal family, so we must be responsible for the rise and fall of the empire."
"If you don't work hard, you'll only plunge the empire into crisis. Do you think you'll still be able to live such a carefree life then?"
The avalanche was rendered speechless and could only lower its head, like a child who had done something wrong.
"And look at the kind of people you're associating with!" Xue Qinghe said angrily.
"What can you learn by hanging out with those kinds of people? Besides eating, drinking, and having fun, what help can they offer you?"
Avalanche retorted softly, "They...they're just keeping me company, it's nothing serious."
"To relieve boredom?" Xue Qinghe's eyes grew colder. "Xue Beng, you're not a child anymore. Don't be so naive. You need to know that the people around you will influence your behavior and decisions."
"If you continue to associate with these people, sooner or later you will be led astray and do something even more irreparable."
Avalanche was silent for a moment, then asked, "Big brother, what do we do now? Liu Erlong is still here."
"Hmph, luckily I arrived in time, preventing a greater disaster." Xue Qinghe pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's settle Liu Erlong down first and ensure her safety. Once she wakes up, I'll try to explain things to her, calm her anger, and prevent this from getting out."
Xue Beng nodded and quickly stepped forward to help tidy up Liu Erlong's clothes so that she could lie down more comfortably.
Watching the avalanche, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but scold, "Look at you! You were just touching someone inappropriately, and now you're scared? If I hadn't discovered it today, you could have just waited for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect's revenge."
Avalanche said with a look of remorse, "Brother, I really know I was wrong. I will definitely change in the future and never do such a stupid thing again."
"I hope you truly know you were wrong this time." Xue Qinghe's tone softened slightly.
"Avalanche, you must remember that you are the fourth prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Every move you make represents the royal family."
"You must learn to restrain your desires and consider the future of the empire. We are at a critical juncture; a slight misstep could lead to total defeat."
Avalanche listened attentively to Xue Qinghe's teachings, and seemed to feel a little remorse.
"Alright, now go and take care of things outside. Don't let anyone know what happened today," Xue Qinghe instructed.
"I'll stay here and watch over Liu Erlong. Once she wakes up, I'll see how to resolve this."
Soon, the avalanche was over, and after he left...
Xue Qinghe suddenly changed her expression; her face no longer showed anger, only a cold smile.
Actually, she could have just left now, since Liu Erlong didn't know that it was Xue Beng who had the chubby boy give her the drug.
With a little manipulation, the chubby boy dared not betray Avalanche.
But Xue Qinghe didn't want things to be resolved so easily; she wanted to make things more complicated.
At the very least, we need to make Liu Erlong resent the Heavenly Battle Empire, and ideally, we need to make the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan resent the Heavenly Battle Empire.
In this way, when the Spirit Hall takes action against the Heaven Dou Empire in the future, the possibility of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan supporting the Heaven Dou Empire will be cut off.
Xue Qinghe sat by the bed, quietly watching Liu Erlong, who was still unconscious, his eyes gleaming with calculation.
After a while, Liu Erlong's eyelids twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.
