Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 219: Future Plans
"What's there to argue about? Putting aside the fact that Senior Brother Long has done me a favor, without his and Senior Sister Vina's help, I'd probably still be trapped in Shrek. The fact that I have a different master, while Senior Brother Long is the Sect Master's direct disciple, makes him a more suitable candidate for the position." Yuwen Tuo said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to test me. I already have Xiao Xiao in my heart, and perhaps there's another looming shadow. I'm not interested in either the position of Sect Master or the position of Prince Consort."

"Senior Brother Long is a good man, and Senior Sister Vina is not without affection for him. Your Majesty should cherish this good relationship for your daughter."

Emperor Xuexin smiled and said, "Haha, you are exactly like what Nana said, without desire or expectation. Sometimes I wonder why a young man can be so indifferent."

Yuwen Tuo shook his head. "I'm definitely not without desires, but what I seek has nothing to do with power. I want to reach the pinnacle of strength, and then avenge what should be avenged and save those who should be saved."

"In other words, your pursuit is entirely about power? If so, I won't force you. Yuwen Tuo, do you know why I agreed to take you away with Jing Hongchen a few days ago?"

"I guess Your Majesty never thought of letting me return to the Sun-Moon Empire from the beginning, right? You did this mainly to force Senior Sister. She has always been concerned about being a girl and caring about her relationship with her brothers, suppressing her ambitions. Unfortunately, this world does not allow her to do so. If she does not stand up, Tianhun will die sooner or later." Yuwen Tuo laughed, "As for me, I will probably be strangled by the joint efforts of Tianhun and the Douling Empire on the way back, and die on the way."

"You are indeed a smart man. You guessed right. Now you are the focus of attention of all countries and are also hostile to Shrek. You are like a hot potato. If Nana doesn't stand up in the end, for the sake of national stability, I can't keep you. But your talent is too strong. I can't let you go back to Sun and Moon. I will sell your information to the Douling Empire on your way back. They are the ones who want you dead the most. It was my original plan to unite with them and kill you halfway, so that Jing Hongchen can only bring back a corpse." Xue Xin said bluntly.

This is the best way to do it. Throwing away the hot potato will not make the Sun-Moon Empire stronger.

"But, since you later realized that the Sect Master truly considered me his disciple, and since you learned that I urged Her Royal Highness to seize the throne, your mind has changed, correct, Your Majesty?" Yuwen Tuo said sternly, "Now, not only do you want me to return to Sun Moon, you also intend to use this incident to complete a terrible plan. Otherwise, you wouldn't have immediately accepted Jing Hongchen's soul guide when you learned that Xing Luo's men were coming, creating a fait accompli and giving the Sun Moon Empire the upper hand."

Xue Xin sighed, "You are indeed smarter than Vina. It seems you have already guessed it."

"Let me ask you something. In your heart, is the safety of the country more important, or is your parents more important?"

"Of course it's the safety of a country." Yuwen Tuo replied without hesitation.

Xue Xin was stunned. This guy has such a high level of awareness? Suddenly remembering something, he seemed to know that he had asked the wrong question.

"Uh, let me ask again, in your heart, is the safety of the country more important, or is your village chief grandfather more important?"

"Of course it's my village chief grandpa!" He still didn't hesitate at all.

Xue Xin nodded. Is this the right way to open it? How could this guy be the kind of person who values the country over his family?

It’s just that in this guy’s heart, the so-called father and mother don’t even count.

"This is the difference between you and me. As the emperor of the Tianhun Empire, I will not allow anything to be more important than the rise and fall of my country. As long as the country can prosper, I am willing to give up everything I have, including honor, status, family, and even my life. So, Yuwen Tuo, I asked you to come here for a while today. After some discussion, I am willing to believe what you said. I know that you are the national hero sent by God to our country. I hereby beg you to assist me in completing a plan. Only in this way can the Tianhun court be safe, foreign enemies can be defeated, and the country can be saved." Xue Xin stood up and bowed deeply to Yuwen Tuo.

Considering the majesty of an emperor, this ceremony is undoubtedly very important.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan, the national protector Douluo, did not stop it, which shows that he also knew the importance of this plan to the Tianhun Empire.

Seeing him like this, Yuwen Tuo immediately stood up and helped him up. "Your Majesty, there is no need for this. Since I am willing to come here today, I am naturally prepared to agree to your request. You may not know that this plan is also very beneficial to me. I can use it to kill many people I want to kill!"

"Thank you, my friend!" Emperor Xuexin thanked him and said to Zhentian Douluo, "My dear, please take out that thing and give it to our country's future Grand Tutor Yuwen."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhentian Douluo took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Yuwen Tuo, "My friend, this is a gift from His Majesty."

Yuwen Tuo took it curiously and took a look at it, and was immediately shocked. It was a map with several places marked on it, and what was written in those places was actually the information about the 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Your Majesty, this is"

"Haha, I know that for a powerful soul master, there is nothing more precious than the soul rings and soul bones of a hundred thousand year soul beast. These are the locations of the hundred thousand year soul beasts that my Tianhun Empire has discovered after years of investigation, but they are only limited to my Douluo Continent. Our people cannot go deep into the Sun and Moon Continent. Whether you can successfully hunt them down depends on your own ability. After all, your strength is the most important thing for us to complete our plan. If there are any fish that slip through the net, we will need the future Master Yuwen to check for them for me and eliminate them completely." Xue Xin smiled. He had no attachment to this precious information.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty. I will." Yuwen Tuo accepted it happily. Indeed, to him now, this thing was much more precious than gold, silver, jewelry or soul guides.

In fact, Shrek Academy should also have this thing, otherwise Yan Shaozhe would not have made that promise to Xiaoxiao.

"But Your Majesty, are you really willing to believe me? After all, I am the prince of the Sun-Moon Empire. Aren't you afraid that I will rebel halfway and stay in the Sun-Moon Empire to become the emperor?" "I am willing to believe it, because in your heart, the country is not as important as the village. Vina told me that in the Soul Master Competition, you showed great hostility towards the Sun-Moon Empire, even more than Xingluo who abandoned you. I originally couldn't understand what Sun-Moon could have done to provoke you and make you willing to help the hated Shrek to win the final. After tonight's conversation, I have some guesses. In this world, if there is anything that can make you temporarily let go of your hatred for Shrek, it is only the village. The Sun-Moon Empire is related to the village massacre, right?" Xue Xin guessed.

"Your Majesty is worthy of being the ruler of a country, indeed. So please rest assured, Your Majesty, I, Yuwen Tuo, will never truly return to Sun and Moon. One day, I will return to Tianhun to complete my plan. Next, Your Majesty, please help me negotiate and buy me a year. After that year, I will set out for the Sun and Moon Empire."

For Yuwen Tuo, his own safety is also very important. He cannot ignore his own safety in order to complete Xue Xin's plan. After all, he still carries the hopes of Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor.

Therefore, if you want to go to the Sun and Moon, you must wait until you can summon them again.

"Don't worry about that. I understand. Your Majesty really needs time to recover." Xue Xin thought that Yuwen Tuo was talking about Du Bu Si. As an emperor, he certainly knew that Du Bu Si was injured and would need more than a year to recover.

Only with the poisonous immortal deterrent can Yuwen Tuo be safer.

"So, how long do you think Master Yuwen will need to stay in the Sun Moon Empire? You don't have to be too anxious. It will take at least a few years before our plan begins." Emperor Xue Xin said.

"I know, but I won't stay there for too long. I must come back within half a year to a year. After all, I can't waste my precious time for cultivation for your plan. Don't worry, it will only take me half a year to complete the first half of this plan." Yuwen Tuo said.

Emperor Xue Xin asked doubtfully, "Only for six months to a year? How will you return then? The Sun-Moon Empire won't let you go. My original plan was to have you stay there until the next tournament begins. Then I'll have His Majesty go to Sun-Moon and bring you back."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have my own way to come back. You don't need to do anything." Yuwen Tuo said.

"Okay, then I will believe the Grand Master!"

The two quickly reached a consensus.

As soon as Yuwen Tuo finished chatting with the emperor, he saw the queen coming back with Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao had changed her clothes at this time. It was a gorgeous palace dress, from hairpins to boots.

It made her look even cuter and prettier than before, and even more noble.

"Tuotuo, this is a gift from the Queen Mother to me. Does it look good?" Xiao Xiao looked at Yuwen Tuo expectantly.

Yuwentuo smiled and nodded, "It looks good. This outfit doesn't seem to be an ordinary dress, does it?"

"Yes, this is a set of soul guides," the Empress introduced. "The jade hairpin is called the Snow Silver Hairpin, radiating brilliance and elegance. The skirt is called the Five-Colored Glazed Skirt, containing a magic array that emits a seven-colored gemstone light, unparalleled in beauty. The jade pendant is called the Exquisite Coral, and the magic array condenses a fragrance that lasts for centuries, intoxicating. The boots are called the Lingbo Shoes, with a lotus carved from jade. The magic array reduces the weight, making the wearer feel as if nothing, as light as flying."

This soul guide set sounds a bit like the battle armor of later generations.

The difference is that battle armor is used to enhance strength, but this one, apart from being described with words like noble, beautiful, and fragrant, seems to have no practical meaning. It is a typical example of being good-looking but useless.

No wonder the Tianhun Empire, which has always looked down on soul guides, would collect such things. It is probably the favorite of the concubines in the harem.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao seemed to like it very much. Yuwen Tuo and she thanked the queen together and then said goodbye and left.

Not long after he left, two more people walked into the garden.

"Your Majesty!" the two men said, bowing, "Do you think Yuwen Tuo can be trusted?"

"In my opinion, it's credible." Xue Xin said, "Old Ning, I may have to inconvenience you in the future. You've clearly stopped caring about court affairs and lived a carefree life in seclusion in the mountains, but I dragged you down the mountain to work for the Tianhun Empire. I really feel sorry for you."

"Your Majesty, why don't you care? Compared with Your Majesty, I can't say that I am wronged. What's more, our sect was so glorious ten thousand years ago, but my descendants are not worthy and cannot restore the former glory. How can we be willing to hide in the mountains forever and enjoy a peaceful life? If there is a chance to restore the prestige of the sect, I will naturally not miss it." The man named Lao Ning said.
