Chapter 100, Three-Day Appointment

Emperor Xue Ye said slowly:

"The prince has granted me special permission to see the emperor without any formalities and to sit next to him. Rongrong is Fengzhi's only daughter, so she can enjoy this honor!"

Meng Bei narrowed his eyes slightly.

What do you mean?
Are you mocking him for not knowing etiquette?
Is Emperor Xue Ye so brave?

Meng Bei actually guessed it right.

Then, Emperor Xue Ye took a sip of tea, looked at the garden, and asked Meng Bei as if it was a normal conversation:

"Meng Bei, I don't know much about you. Can you tell me which family you are from and what title you hold?"

Prince? Title?
Meng Bei didn't have any title, he was just a commoner. If he followed what Emperor Xue Ye said, he should kneel down and kowtow, then get Emperor Xue Ye's permission with great trepidation and then sit on the small stool.

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Rongrong, who was standing beside him, immediately showed her anger and was about to stand up.

Fortunately, Meng Bei reached out and pressed Ning Rongrong's shoulder in time, otherwise, based on Rongrong's personality, she would have to curse Emperor Xue Ye at least before the matter could be exposed.

However, although Meng Bei stopped Ning Rongrong, it does not mean that Meng Bei was not angry.

He just didn't show his anger on his face.

Emperor Xue Ye pretended to be ignorant and asked Meng Bei about his title, but Meng Bei didn't believe that Emperor Xue Ye had not investigated him.

He had been thinking about the deeper meaning behind Emperor Xue Ye's words, but now it seems that there is no deeper meaning at all. The deeper meaning is that Emperor Xue Ye has a sore on his butt and doesn't want to sit on the throne anymore!
Meng Bei has now begun to think about who should be the next emperor of the Tiandou Empire. Of course, this matter is of great importance and he needs to discuss it in detail after he returns.

A strong man does not show his emotions on his face. Even though he may be angry, he will not lose his mind because of anger.

After thinking for a while, Meng Bei sat in his seat and did not stand up. Instead, he looked directly at Emperor Xue Ye and said:
"Your Majesty, Meng Bei is not a young master, nor a lord. He is actually a barbarian from the Far North. Fortunately, he has the favor of his father-in-law and the love of Miss Rongrong, so he can have what he has today."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye stared at Meng Bei with deep eyes.

Meng Bei, on the other hand, stared at Emperor Xue Ye without dodging.

This surprised Emperor Xue Ye very much.

Based on his investigation of Meng Bei's background information, Meng Bei should not be so strong.

According to Emperor Xue Ye's original idea, Meng Bei should apologize to him for the etiquette issue at this time, and after Meng Bei surrendered, he would also extend his olive branch to win over Meng Bei.

This is the simplest way of giving someone a sweet date after a beating.

But now he didn't know where the problem occurred. Meng Bei seemed not to be afraid of him at all.

He is the emperor of the Tiandou Empire. Even Ning Fengzhi dares not underestimate his existence. How dare Meng Bei, a young soul master, challenge his authority?

Emperor Xue Ye had an extremely sharp sense of smell, and he instantly guessed that this kid was either a fool or had some support that he didn't know about!

After realizing this, Emperor Xue Ye's attitude changed instantly.

No matter which of the above situations Meng Bei falls into, it means that the intelligence he previously obtained on Meng Bei was wrong. What he should do most at this time is to stabilize Meng Bei first, and then conduct a more detailed investigation into Meng Bei's intelligence.

Xue Ye suddenly smiled kindly and said:
"Xiao Bei, you can't be without a title. You are the youngest Soul Master known on the continent. How can you not have a title with such talent? So, to celebrate your wedding with Rongrong, how about I grant you the title of Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Earl, this is the sweet treat that Emperor Xue Ye has prepared for Meng Bei a long time ago.

However, his original plan was to suppress Meng Bei first, and then offer him the title when Meng Bei was extremely nervous, so as to gain Meng Bei's favor to the greatest extent possible.

But now some unexpected things happened, and he had to take out this sweet date in advance.

"Count..."

Meng Bei thought about it and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, forget about the title of Earl. I think I am more suitable for the position of the consort of the Tiandou Empire."

Emperor Xue Ye: "Prince consort???"

Meng Bei's words made Emperor Xue Ye cough violently. "Ahem, you young people really like to joke around. My daughter Xue Ke has long wanted to marry a young talent, but I'm afraid Feng Zhi won't agree."

Meng Bei smiled upon hearing this:

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I'm not talking about Princess Xue Ke, but Rong Rong!"

"Hmm?" Ning Rongrong tilted her head and looked over puzzledly.

Meng Bei took Ning Rongrong's little hand and played with it casually.

Also explained:
"Your Majesty, when Rongrong and I came here, we had a conversation with Prince Qinghe. He treated Rongrong as his own sister. In this case, why don't you make it even closer and issue an order to let Brother Qinghe recognize Rongrong as his sister, so as to facilitate this happy event?"

"Ah, this..."

Emperor Xue Ye fell into deep thought.

He was a little unsure about this matter.

On the surface, it seemed that there was no big problem in letting Xue Qinghe recognize Ning Rongrong as his sister, but he did not dare to agree to it easily.

Meng Bei doesn't want a title, but wants to be a royal consort. Is there any conspiracy behind this?

Emperor Xue Ye thought about it over and over again, and was confused for a moment.

So he simply said:
"Rongrong, Xiaobei, I know what you are thinking, but this matter is of great importance, and I still need to discuss it with Fengzhi. You should go back first!"

Emperor Xue Ye chose to see the guest off.

Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong then left the palace.

On the way, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask Xiang Mengbei:
"The old emperor's attitude on Xue Ye is really too much. Aren't you angry? And why did you let me be a princess? Isn't it good like this now? Being a princess still requires being bound by all kinds of etiquette."

Hearing this, Meng Bei hugged Ning Rongrong and explained in her ear:
"Because I want Xue Qinghe to be the emperor."

"what!"

Ning Rongrong opened her lips slightly.

"You want to kill the king?"

Meng Beidao:
"What do you mean by regicide? I am a barbarian from the Far North. I have neither claimed his title nor his land. How can he be considered my lord?"

Ning Rongrong nodded, not quite understanding.

"Then why did you let me be Xue Qinghe's sister? Just for the title of princess?"

"Yup!"

Meng Bei nodded and said:
"The Tiandou Empire has lasted for thousands of years, and its roots are deep. The effect of this name is still very powerful."

"You have the title of princess, so after Xue Qinghe succeeds to the throne, it will be natural for you to be the regent. Otherwise, without this title, even if our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is powerful, it will cause many people to oppose it."

"If we are attacked by a large group of people, even if we can suppress the opponents with our strong power, the losses incurred during this period will not be small, and we may even be taken advantage of by other forces."

Ning Rongrong suddenly realized after listening to Meng Bei's explanation:

"So that's what you think!"

Suddenly, she thought of something and wondered:
"Oh, that's not right. There is another question. Even if Xue Qinghe succeeds to the throne, how will you deal with him? Will he support us unconditionally?"

Meng Bei laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Qinghe~"

"I have a clever plan. In just three days, I will make her obey my orders."
