Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 216: The Court's Dispute over Yuwen Tuo's Ownership

"What's the point of having similar looks except for the eyebrows and eyes? His martial soul is inherited from my Sun and Moon Empire." Jing Hongchen interrupted.

"Your Majesty, Tianhun, we previously agreed to allow Yuwen Tuo and me to return home to see his seriously ill father. Isn't this just human nature? We are willing to exchange three ninth-level soul guides and five eighth-level soul guides for our prince. Your Majesty's words are golden, how can you go back on your word?"

This is Jing Hongchen's advantage. He arrived earlier than Xu Jiujiu and others, and almost everything had been negotiated.

The emperor must keep his promise.

"That's true. After all, Emperor Sun and Moon is seriously ill, which is more urgent. Besides, I have already accepted the treasure." Emperor Xue Xin pretended to be embarrassed.

In fact, he was already very happy at this moment. In the previous game between Tianhun and Riyue, he was indeed being pressed step by step by Jing Hongchen, but after Xingluo joined, he immediately jumped out of the confrontation and became a third party who sat on the mountain and watched the fight between the two tigers.

Sure enough, the next moment, Shattered Star Douluo spoke up for him and mocked him, "Inherited the spirit of your Sun and Moon faction? Why do I remember that among the three inherited spirits of your Sun and Moon Empire, the Sun, the Moon, and the Dragon, which one did Yuwen Tuo inherit? Isn't he a fire elementalist?"

"Isn't the fire element inherited from the power of the Sun Martial Soul?" Jing Hongchen retorted, "In my opinion, our prince's Martial Soul inheritance is incomplete. He is influenced by your Xingluo bloodline. Sun, Moon, and Stars, the sun always comes first, and the stars come last. He is simply being held back by you."

"Jing Hongchen, how dare you insult my Xingluo royal family!" Suixing was furious, and soul power surged all over his body. Nine huge soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, covered half of the hall.

"Shattered Star Douluo, I am not afraid of you!" Jing Hongchen's soul rings, which also consisted of two yellow, two purple and five black, covered the other half of the hall. Although his level was two levels lower than Shattered Star Douluo, he did not think that he would lose to Shattered Star Douluo.

After all, he is still a ninth-level soul engineer, and his combat effectiveness can never be judged solely by his level.

For a moment, the entire palace hall seemed to have become a battlefield where the two Titled Douluo were fighting against each other.

Giant Strength Douluo Cheng Gang took a step forward, wanting to help his own Broken Star Douluo, but was stopped by Xu Jiujiu.

Sometimes, having more people doesn't necessarily mean you have an advantage. With Cheng Gang's strength, he might even make things worse if a fight breaks out. Besides, this is the Tianhun Palace, and if it gets out that two are fighting one, it will not be good for Xingluo's reputation.

"Alright, alright, your Majesties, please calm down your wrath for now. Master Hongchen, you are of noble descent from the Xingluo royal family, so please be courteous in your words. And Your Majesty Shattered Star, your fire elemental spirit is indeed closer to the sun of the Sun-Moon Empire, and you are being a bit too stubborn." Emperor Xue Xin hurriedly comforted the two.

Yuwen Tuo was a little stunned. Just now, he thought Emperor Xuexin was on Xingluo's side, but now it seemed that he wanted to help Sun and Moon. Was he trying to play both sides?
Just as he was puzzled, Vina whispered to him, "Junior Brother Yuwen, don't worry. Father and I made an appointment yesterday. Just wait for the situation to change."

In fact, just three days ago, after Vina finished her discussion with Yuwen Tuo, she immediately returned to the palace and went to see her father. The first thing she said was
"Father, I want to join the fight for the throne. Please add me to your list of candidates for succession."

Simple, direct and domineering.
Even Yuwen Tuo did not expect that he had just persuaded Vina to fight for the throne in the morning, and she would directly confront her father in the evening.

As mentioned before, as long as Vina was a man, this battle for the throne would never have happened.

But even though she was a woman, as long as she wanted to seize the throne, no one could compete with her.

The emperor is not an idiot. Can't he see that among his children, only Vina will inherit the throne and the country will have a future? What's more, the Body Sect only supports Vina. Even if it is to keep the Body Sect, he has no choice but to choose Vina.

Unfortunately, Vina had always been overly concerned about her brothers, and she felt that her daughter's succession to the throne would cause unrest in the court. Therefore, Xue Xin had agreed to Jing Hongchen's conditions, allowing him to take Yuwen Tuo away. He knew that neither Vina nor the Benti Sect would allow it, and one of his goals was to use this opportunity to force Vina.

Not only that, he also has a very terrible plan and is ready to ask Yuwen Tuo to help him complete it.

But all this must be based on the premise that Vina wants to fight.

At this moment, he was finally satisfied. That night, he crossed out all the other names on the list of heirs.

Some princes still didn't realize at this moment that no matter how much trouble they made, in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, they were just stepping stones for Vina.

"Yuwen Tuo, now you know my identity, I wonder if you are willing to call me aunt?" Princess Jiujiu knew that it was useless to argue with Jing Hongchen here, so she went to Yuwen Tuo to play the emotional card.

Yuwen Tuo shook his head and smiled, "You should have known about my existence a long time ago, right? But you have never thought of coming to see me in all these years, and now you are rushing me home in a hurry. Don't you think it's a little late?"

"That's right!" Jing Hongchen said immediately, "Your Highness, the one who abandoned you was Xing Luo. That woman fled the Sun-Moon Empire when she was pregnant with you. Our Majesty has never given up on finding you. Compared to those who have discarded you like a piece of trash, our Sun-Moon Empire is your home. Your father's love for you is absolutely genuine."

"We. We are because..." Xu Jiujiu didn't know how to refute.

Their biggest disadvantage is that Riyue has indeed been looking for Yuwen Tuo and has not given up for more than ten years. Although they know where Yuwen Tuo is, they have never thought of bringing him back because his mother does not want to see him, and their royal family also thinks that this child is a shame to Xingluo.

But who could have imagined that this child's talent was so strong, at the innate level of 20, and even after being crippled by Shrek for six years, he could still come from behind and surpass a large number of so-called geniuses.

After leaving Shrek, he was like a fish in the sea, his strength began to soar rapidly, and he even killed Taotie Douluo.

As long as he is trained well, he will definitely be a world-shaking powerful man in the future.

It is precisely for this reason that they regretted ignoring him because they were concerned about the so-called royal face and Xu Yueran's thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Yuwen Tuo, we were wrong in this matter. If you are willing to go back with us, your aunt swears that she will do her best to raise you. Your mother said that if you are willing to recognize her, she will love you well in the future. She asks you not to see that man. It is because of that man that you and your son have suffered so much." There was no stalemate for a long time.

Instead, he chose to admit his mistake directly, which was the right thing to do. Arguing with Yuwen Tuo at this moment would only make him disgusted.

However, she still modified Xu Yueran's words slightly. After all, Xu Yueran's original words were basically a threat, which was a bit too credible. But looking at Yuwen Tuo's appearance, is he someone who would be threatened?
It would be more appropriate to continue playing the emotional card.

In fact, Yuwen Tuo didn't believe a word of what Xu Jiujiu said later.

At this moment, Emperor Xuexin said at the right moment, "Alas, with a seriously ill father on one side and a pitiful mother on the other, it must be difficult for a child to make a choice. Princess Jiujiu, Master Hongchen, could you please give this child some time to think it over?"
