Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 252 Xu Tianran's Anger and Despair
late at night.

Xu Tianran was sitting in the East Palace Garden again. This was his favorite place to stay when he was upset.

But today, the originally beautiful flower garden has disappeared. The entire garden was swept by his powerful destructive soul power and turned into dust in an instant.

Ever since Yuwen Tuo returned, the life he had been living recently was the most unhappy since he broke his leg.

Shadow Douluo Xuechen, who was entrusted with an important task, died at the hands of Yuwen Tuo.

Not only that, just now, when his father and Xu Tianyuan finished examining his body and left the East Palace, their dark faces made him feel sad, angry and frightened. The secret that he least wanted others to know was known by the person who should not know it.

Everything is because of Yuwen Tuo.

"Your Highness." Juzi appeared behind Xu Tianran. She had rushed back specially. At this time, she was the only one who could comfort the furious Crown Prince.

"Juzi, Xuechen is dead, but Yuwen Tuo is alive and well. He even revealed my inhumane secret in front of my father." Xu Tianran's voice was extremely cold and murderous, which was creepy.

Orange was no exception. As soon as she approached Xu Tianran, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

It was the first time she saw Xu Tianran with such murderous intent. Even when facing the person who had crippled him in the past, he calmly skinned and crushed his enemy's bones!

"Juzi, I no longer have anyone around me who is suitable to assassinate Yuwen Tuo, so I am going to use their power."

Before Xu Tianran could finish, Juzi immediately spoke up, "Your Highness, you can't do that. The power of those people cannot be used lightly. To cooperate with them is to seek the skin of a tiger. It didn't matter before because you were the irreplaceable heir to the throne. Even if you used their power, His Majesty would turn a blind eye. But after what happened today, His Majesty has a different attitude towards you. Your biggest secret has been exposed. I'm afraid His Majesty has already thought about supporting someone else to replace you. However, you have been in charge of the court for many years. For the sake of the court's stability, he will definitely not touch you for no reason. He will not make your situation public. After all, it involves the face of the royal family. But if you bypass him and ask those guys for help without authorization, wouldn't you be giving His Majesty a handle for free?"

"After all, not many people in the Sun-Moon Empire know that we are collaborating with those guys. They are openly the public enemy of the entire continent!"

"But what do you want me to do? This Yuwen Tuo is growing faster and faster. Although he acts arrogantly, he only targets me and never touches my father's bottom line. As long as he acts more cute in front of my father, my position as the crown prince will be shaken. Now, even Mingde Hall seems to have stood on his side." Xu Tianran roared.

In addition to being angry, it was also the first time that Orange saw the prince lose his composure like this. It seemed that he was really forced into a corner by Yuwen Tuo.

She squatted down gently, reaching Xu Tianran's level, "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't let this happen. I will definitely help you ascend to the throne and unify the continent!"

During this period, Juzi was still very loyal to Xu Tianran. Not only did he do her a favor, she also wanted to borrow his power to avenge herself.

"Juzi, please!" Xu Tianran nodded. At this time, Juzi was the only person he could confide in.

The next day.

The court of the Sun and Moon Empire, this was the second time that Yuwen Tuo had officially attended court since he came to this country.

The last time he came, he directly called Xu Tianran a cripple and a eunuch in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court. However, because he displayed his twin martial souls and his innate talent of level 20, the emperor tolerated him.

Today, he used the same trick again. The first thing he did when he entered the court was not to salute, but to throw Shadow Douluo's head forward.

The Sun and Moon Emperor was bewildered. What was his son up to? Didn't he come to apologize? What did throwing a head mean?
Is this an apology? Not an arrogant provocation?

"How dare you, Prince Yan! This is the majestic imperial court. How dare you hold a bloody head and throw it in front of His Majesty in such an rude manner?" A minister accused angrily.

Yuwen Tuo didn't know whether he was the prince's man. After all, at a time like this, not only the enemies, but even those fair and honest ministers who were not involved in party disputes would have the right to blame him.

Therefore, Yuwen Tuo didn't bother to pay any attention to him and spoke directly to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, I, Yuwen Tuo, returned from abroad. Unexpectedly, on my way back to the city, I was assassinated by Shadow Douluo Xuechen. To save my own life, I had to fight back. I accidentally struck too hard and killed him, causing the country to lose a talented Titled Douluo. I come here to apologize and ask for Your Majesty's order to complete some tasks. I hope to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions."

"Shadow Douluo? This head is the head of a Titled Douluo!" The official who had just been blaming Yuwen Tuo subconsciously took a few steps back.

I originally thought that Yuwen Tuo was being rude and offensive, but if he had taken the head of a Titled Douluo, he would really be qualified to bring it to the court.

Titled Douluo are treasures in any country, national treasure-level figures. Their killing is definitely a big deal and worthy of discussion in the court.

But the question is, what did the Prince of Yan just say?

Did he accidentally kill a Titled Douluo by hitting too hard? Did he think he was just killing a chicken?

And seeing how healthy Yuwen Tuo looks, can he still kill the enemy alone without any damage?

"Prince Yan, you are truly too impulsive. Although Shadow Douluo may not be a member of our Sun-Moon Court, he is still a member of our Sun-Moon Empire. If you can defeat him, you can bring him back, or even recruit him if you have the chance. The death of a Titled Douluo and a Ninth-Level Soul Master is a tremendous loss, even for our Sun-Moon Empire," the Emperor said. "But he was the one who tried to assassinate you first, and I know that. You can't be blamed for that."

The emperor gave Yuwen Tuo a way out.

Just as Xu Tianran had thought before, even if it was Yuwen Tuo who died today, the emperor would not do anything to him, the prince, just for a dead person.

Now the situation is reversed. It is true that Shadow Douluo is a Titled Douluo, but firstly, he is not a member of the royal family, and secondly, he does not enter the Sun and Moon Court. He belongs to Xu Tianran privately.

It is a pity that he died, but since he was dead, the emperor would not be so stupid as to punish his own son who was so talented for a dead person who did not belong to him.

Moreover, he had sent someone to investigate Xu Tianran's situation yesterday. Damn, this son actually turned out to be a eunuch.

If Xu Tianran had not already been deeply entrenched in the court, he would have probably deposed him today.

The emperor’s idea now is to try and see if Xu Tianran can be cured first, and at the same time, start supporting other princes. No matter what, there must be a backup option.

And Yuwen Tuo was one of the people he chose. If Yuwen Tuo was not still unwilling to change his surname to Xu, he could even immediately promote him to a prince so that he could compete head-on with Xu Tianran.

Therefore, the Emperor's current idea is to play the emotional card with Yuwen Tuo as much as possible, hoping that he will return to his heart as soon as possible.

Yuwen Tuo cupped his hands, "Thank you for your leniency, Your Majesty. However, I did kill a Titled Douluo of the nation, and I couldn't sleep last night. If I can't redeem myself from my crime and make meritorious contributions, I truly don't deserve the title of Prince of Yan County bestowed upon me by Your Majesty. Today, I beg Your Majesty for permission. Please grant me this privilege. I will definitely make great contributions to the nation!"
