Chapter 98, Snowy Night Emperor

Meng Bei took the two girls back to Tiandou City.

Meng Bei had been able to fly in the air long before he absorbed the Demon King's true blood, but he seldom showed it in front of others. Right now, there were only Xiao Wu and Rong Rong by his side, and these two were his closest people, so Meng Bei no longer hid it.

He used his soul power to lift the two women and flew directly into the air.

Ning Rongrong looked at this scene in shock. She remembered it very clearly, if it wasn't a flying soul master, then only a Titled Douluo could fly in the air.

How did Meng Bei do it?
In comparison, Xiao Wu on the other side was somewhat accustomed to it.

Because Xiao Wu already knew that Meng Bei could fly. After all, if he couldn't fly, they wouldn't have been able to switch to so many places last night.

At this time, Ning Rongrong curiously asked Meng Bei the reason why he was flying.

After hearing this, Meng Bei thought about it for a while and gave what he thought was a reasonable explanation.

"If you are strong enough, you can fly!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but pout and roll her eyes.

What kind of reason is this? It’s too perfunctory!

Ning Rongrong felt that Meng Bei was obviously deliberately not wanting to tell her, so Ning Rongrong started to act strangely.

This little witch deliberately sought excitement in front of Xiao Wu while on the road.

After all, in her eyes, Xiao Wu is still Meng Bei's sister.

Therefore, Ning Rongrong deliberately did some exciting things with Meng Bei in front of Meng Bei's sister.

For example, at this moment, she took advantage of Xiao Wu's blind spot and quietly made the clothes under her long skirt disappear.

That was a soul guide that Meng Bei had given her before, called "The Emperor's New Clothes".

On the surface, this looks like an ordinary set of clothes, but in fact, this set of clothes can disappear at any time under the control of the owner.

At this time, Ning Rongrong made the clothes inside disappear, then took Meng Bei's hand and said:

"Meng Bei, help me tidy up my clothes, it seems like something is broken..."

The three of them flew all the way back. During the flight, Meng Bei passed by the Sunset Forest and visited Dugu Yan. As he and Ning Rongrong were about to get married, Dugu Yan had to temporarily stay in Dugu Bo's secluded place.

After all, during this period of time, if the affair between him and Dugu Yan were to be leaked, it would have a negative impact on the reputation of both families.

Afterwards, Meng Bei brought the two girls back to Tiandou City's Lanba Academy. After dropping Xiao Wu off, he took Ning Rongrong to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect outside the city to visit Ning Fengzhi. He also came to learn about the specific procedures of the wedding that would take place soon.

Ning Fengzhi told Meng Bei that the wedding was going to be held in the Imperial Hall of the Tiandou Empire, which had been used only by the royal family in the past. However, this time, it was a gift to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect specially proposed by Emperor Xue Ye after he learned about the wedding.

Therefore, according to etiquette, after Meng Bei returns today, he needs to go to the palace with Ning Rongrong to express his gratitude to Emperor Xue Ye.

Meng Bei nodded and agreed when he heard this.

Ning Fengzhi seemed to be a little worried that Meng Bei would not take this matter to heart, so he asked in a serious tone:
"Xiao Bei, don't be careless. His Majesty Xue Ye is not that simple. You and Rong Rong must be careful when you get there!"

"Oh?"

Meng Bei became interested after hearing this.

He really had no impression of the Emperor Xue Ye in the original novel.

It’s a good time to hear what Ning Fengzhi has to say.

"Father-in-law, how about this? Haven't the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the royal family always been in a cooperative relationship? The royal family's crown prince Xue Qinghe is your disciple. Is there any problem with this?"

Meng Bei asked.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head upon hearing this and said:
"No, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does have a cooperative relationship with the royal family, but Xue Ye is a very cautious person. The people of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect have always provided logistics, funds, or auxiliary personnel for the royal family, but Emperor Xue Ye rarely lets the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect intervene in the real power department." Meng Bei thought about it after hearing this and said:
"In that case, this Snowy Night Emperor wants to use the resources of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but at the same time he is extremely wary of us!"

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

Meng Bei thought for a moment and said:
"But this is human nature. Now that the imperial family is in decline and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is thriving, it is normal for Emperor Xue Ye to be wary of you."

After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi put his hands behind his back and paced quietly in the room.

After a moment, he said leisurely:
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Ning Fengzhi said to Meng Bei seriously:
"Emperor Xue Ye's behavior is very abnormal. According to his current age, he should have gradually trained Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. I also thought so before, so I accepted Qinghe as my disciple in advance."

"But Emperor Xue Ye seems to be very afraid of Qinghe. He neither allows Qinghe to command the army nor to participate in politics. He even doesn't arrange the most basic marriage for Qinghe. This is too abnormal!"

"Under normal circumstances, even if Emperor Xue Ye is still wary of the Crown Prince at this age, he should at least arrange a marriage for the Crown Prince to consolidate his position. Otherwise, if he suddenly passes away one day, the Crown Prince will be left with nothing but military and political power, and even no relatives. How can he inherit the throne smoothly? Once someone rebels, it will be the beginning of chaos!"

Meng Bei heard this and began to think seriously.

Indeed, if what Ning Fengzhi said was true, then Emperor Xue Ye’s behavior was indeed very abnormal.

Generally speaking, the emperor would train a group of trusted followers for the crown prince to facilitate his smooth succession to the throne in the future. Even if the king was greedy for power and did not allow the crown prince to command the army or participate in politics, he would not even deny the crown prince the opportunity to marry.

In that case, the prince will be penniless and have no power around him, and there will inevitably be big problems in the handover of the throne.

He knew that Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall in disguise.

In the original novel, Qian Renxue's disguise was perfect, but she was unable to inherit the throne, so she took a risky move and chose to poison Emperor Xue Ye, which led to her being exposed in the end.

Could it be that Emperor Xue Ye had already begun to doubt Xue Qinghe's identity at this time?

Meng Bei guessed.

Due to too little information, Meng Bei had no way of determining Emperor Xue Ye’s true thoughts.

But no matter what, strength is the real foundation.

As long as Meng Bei has enough Titled Douluo, no matter what ideas Emperor Xue Ye has, they will all be just empty talk.

Meng Bei decided to go to the palace with Ning Rongrong first to take a look at the specific situation of Emperor Xue Ye and also to see Qian Renxue.

It would be best if Emperor Xue Ye could unite with him. If not, then we can only find another emperor who can unite with us.

So, Meng Bei and Ning Feng said goodbye and prepared to take Ning Rongrong into the palace.

Ning Fengzhi called Meng Bei again and said:
"By the way, Xiaobei, there is one more thing."

"Well, your relatives from the Far North will be coming over in a couple of days. Do you want to pick them up in person or should I send someone to pick them up?"

Meng Bei was slightly stunned when he heard this.

Relatives...

This word really feels familiar yet unfamiliar to him.

He was born in Snow Rabbit City, one of the three cities in the Far North.

Almost all the people in their city are from the same clan, the Meng family.

However, his parents were only from the side branch of the Meng family, and were separated from the city lord who was in power by countless generations. In the end, when their bloodline was passed down to his generation, they were no different from strangers.

In the Far North, the most painful thing is the attack of soul beasts.
