Douluo: Join Tang San, and I will accept Xiao Wu!

Chapter 99: First meeting with Xue Qinghe
Due to the special climate of the Far North, every winter the local climate becomes extremely cold, food decreases, and the original soul beast activity area will expand rapidly outward with the spread of wind and snow.

This will cause a large overlap between the activity areas of soul beasts and humans. In this overlapping area, the already hungry soul beasts will hunt humans wantonly, eventually forming a beast tide and hunting down large numbers of humans.

The three cities in the far north were specifically built to block this tide of beasts.

Thousands of years ago, three powerful Titled Douluo from the Far North gave up the opportunity to go to the inner part of the empire to be granted fiefdoms and titles. They chose to stay in their hometown in the bitter and cold Far North and built three cities, Snow Wolf, Snow Fox, and Snow Rabbit, for the people living in the Far North.

The three cities were arranged in a triangular shape, firmly keeping the beast tide out and forming a solid barrier that allowed the people in the far north to survive.

Meng Bei's parents were responsible for defending the city during a beast tide one winter, and eventually died on the city wall.

Meng Bei was raised by his clan. There were thousands of orphans like him, so their treatment naturally could not be very good.

Later, after his martial soul awakened, he gradually gained the support of his family with his talent of ninth-level innate soul power.

As for how he feels about his family.

There is no resentment.

There were some words of thanks, but not much.

He has some sense of belonging to the family, but to ask him to completely obey the orders of the patriarch and sacrifice his life for the family is really too much.

His parents were heroes who were willing to sacrifice themselves for their family and for the Far North.

He is not……

The most he could do was to enclose the Far North when he was strong enough in the future and completely solve the problem of the beast tide.

This is the greatest contribution he can make to his hometown.

Ning Fengzhi doesn't need to send anyone to pick up family members; he can arrange it himself.

Meng Bei then asked about the specific time when Ning Fengzhi would arrive from Meng's company, and after noting it down, he left.

Immediately afterwards, Meng Bei took Ning Rongrong to the palace.

They need to go to the palace together to thank Emperor Xue Ye.

When we arrived at the palace gate and informed them of our purpose, a staff member went to report it.

Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong were waiting outside.

After a moment, a hearty laugh was heard.

"Hahaha, Rongrong, you're finally here. Father has been talking about you for a long time!"

Meng Bei heard the sound and looked over.

I saw a young man in white walking towards me. He was wearing a white robe with gold patterns, long hair draped over his shoulders, he had a slender figure, a gentle face, eyes as calm as water, and he had his own style.

Meng Bei thought to himself: This person must be Qian Renxue disguised as a man.

At this time, Rongrong happily greeted, "Brother Qinghe!"

These words further confirmed Meng Bei's guess.

Xue Qinghe came up to the two of them, greeted Ning Rongrong first, then looked at Meng Bei, with a barely perceptible flash of surprise in his eyes.

"This person's soul power is not inferior to mine!"

Xue Qinghe was a little surprised. There was no need to explain her own talent. She was at the innate level of 20, unique in the continent. But even so, she vaguely sensed that the soul power of Meng Beiqi, who was much younger than her actual age, was not much weaker than hers.

This discovery really made Xue Qinghe feel a little unbelievable.

At the same time, it also gave rise to the desire to win him over.

"This little brother must be the ideal husband chosen by Rongrong, Meng Bei, right?"

Meng Bei bowed slightly to Xue Qinghe and said:

"Meng Bei greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xue Qinghe saw this and quickly reached out to support Meng Bei, pretending to be intimate and said:
"Brother Mengbei, you don't have to be so polite. After all, I am Sect Master Ning's disciple. Rongrong calls me brother. If you don't mind, you can also call me brother."

Hearing this, Meng Bei also wanted to take advantage of the situation, so he said directly: "Then it's nice to meet Brother Xue, Brother Xue, you can just call me Xiao Bei." "Brother Xue!"

"Xiao Bei!"

The two of them called each other names, both overjoyed.

Xue Qinghe wanted to make friends with Meng Bei, so he deliberately talked to Meng Bei more.

Meng Bei was also happy with this.
The two of them acted in this way and neglected Rongrong who was standing aside.

This made Ning Rongrong pout in dissatisfaction, and she secretly complained: What is there for two grown men to communicate about?

Under the leadership of Xue Qinghe, the two came to the interior of the palace and entered the harem.

Emperor Xue Ye met Meng Bei in the harem, which surprised Meng Bei a little.

Today, Emperor Xue Ye was not wearing an imperial robe, but only a brocade robe, so he was less domineering than usual and more generous like an old man.

He was sitting in a pavilion, seemingly admiring the snow scene in front of him.

Xue Qinghe stepped forward first and reminded:
"Father, Meng Bei and Rong Rong are here!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye turned his head slightly, glanced at Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong, then waved his hand and said, "Qinghe, you can leave first!"

Xue Qinghe then stepped back and left.

Then Emperor Xue Ye ordered Meng Bei and the other two to step forward.

Meng Bei brought Ning Rongrong to the Snowy Night Emperor, bowed respectfully and said:

"Meng Bei thanks His Majesty for the favor!"

Emperor Xue Ye looked indifferent and did not ask the two to stand up.

Rongrong has a lively personality and is always carefree. When she saw that Emperor Xue Ye didn't speak for a long time, she just stood up.

Seeing this, Meng Bei also straightened up.

Emperor Xue Ye said nothing, but

"Give me a seat"

Then the servants brought two small stools.

Ning Rongrong looked at the small stool and complained without any scruples:
"Your Majesty, these two stools are short and small. How can we sit on them? You clearly have chairs ready in your pavilion. Why are you asking us to sit on these two stools?"

Having said that, Ning Rongrong pulled Meng Bei to sit on a chair beside her.

Emperor Xue Ye did not stop him upon seeing this, but spoke slowly.

It was this conversation that made Meng Bei frown slightly and Ning Rongrong very angry.

Emperor Xue Ye looked at Meng Bei and asked:

"Meng Bei, do you know the title system of our Tiandou Empire?"

Meng Bei pondered for a moment after hearing this, wondering what Emperor Xue Ye was keeping secret. The title system was well known to everyone, so why was Emperor Xue Ye asking him this?
Unable to figure it out, Meng Bei simply opened his mouth to cooperate:

"Your Majesty, roughly speaking, there are five titles: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron. Above that, there is also the title of King, but only the royal family can hold it."

Emperor Xue Ye nodded slightly and said:
"That's right, but there are exceptions. For example, when Feng Zhi was conferred a title, although he was only a duke, I remembered the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's contributions to the royal family over the years and granted him the treatment of a king."

Meng Bei didn't say anything, he didn't understand what Emperor Xue Ye meant.

There was nothing surprising about Ning Fengzhi's title. This was a common tactic used by the royal family to win over other clans. The other three clan leaders also had similar titles, but they were only honorary titles without actual fiefdoms. They just sounded better.

Then, something happened that made Meng Bei angry.

But Emperor Xue Ye continued:

"The prince has granted permission to see the emperor without formalities, but to sit next to him..."
