Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor!

Chapter 16 You don’t want the second child to be the crown prince, do you?
In the afternoon, Wang Chen was walking home in a very happy mood. He hadn't expected that this trip to Baibaolou would yield such a great harvest, and he unexpectedly got the news about the Gold of Life.

However, Wang Chen thought that this was what he deserved. As the saying goes, opportunities come to those who are prepared.

Every time he came to Baibaolou, he would use his VIP privileges to check out the latest news from the Sun and Moon Empire. Even if he didn't come today, he would come in a few days or next week. He would know the news sooner or later. This was God's reward to those who were attentive.

In a happy mood, Wang Chen soon returned to the Wang family. The first thing he did after returning to the Wang family was to meet the patriarch Wang Yan.

For no other reason than to report that he had completed the task. Although Wang Chen thought that Wang Yan did not care about the task assigned to him.

However, as the person who is carrying out the task, Wang Chen must show that he is completing the task very seriously and doing his best.

No matter how perfunctory Wang Chen was in doing it, he had to make it sound nice when reporting. Anyway, Wang Yan was lying in the boss's chair all day long. Could he still ask Jing Hongchen to confirm what exactly happened?
The patriarch's hall.

Wang Chenzhi bowed and said, "Wang Chen greets the Grandfather. I failed to complete the task you assigned to me. Please punish me."

Wang Yan lay on the recliner, tapping the armrest with his fingers. He asked calmly, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing that Wang Yan was not anxious or angry at all, Wang Chen became more certain of his guess that Wang Yan definitely did not take this task seriously.

After confirming this, Wang Chen began to perform with confidence.

Wang Chen said with a look of grievance: "Ancestor, I originally planned to go to Meng Hongchen to build relationships with him today, but before I entered the territory of the Hongchen family, I was stopped by the guards of the Hongchen family.

They simply wouldn't let my grandson enter the Hongchen family and meet Meng Hongchen... My grandson thought hard and went through all the trouble, but it was all in vain."

After hearing what Wang Chen said, Wang Yan showed an expression of "as expected", as if he had anticipated this situation a long time ago.

In fact, this is true. Jing Hongchen has long been prepared for such things and has prevented anyone with ulterior motives from meeting his granddaughter.

Wang Yan wondered how such a crude trick could possibly work against an old fox like Jing Hongchen. If Jing Hongchen were so clueless, how could he have climbed to this position? How could he possibly have such a high level of cultivation?

If he hadn't been afraid of thwarting the Second Prince's interest, he wouldn't have bothered to instruct Wang Chen to go to the Hongchen Family to find Meng Hongchen. This little trick was too stupid, and if he used it, he would probably be laughed at by those old foxes.

Wang Yan said: "Alright, since the Hongchen Family refuses visitors, you don't need to go to the Hongchen Family anymore. Go back and practice well."

"Yes, grandson, I'll take my leave." Wang Chen bowed, then slowly walked out of the patriarch's hall and walked towards his home.

..............................

At the same time, in a luxurious garden on the outskirts of Mingdu.

The garden here covers an area of ​​one hundred acres. It looks extremely grand and majestic from the outside, but while it is grand and luxurious, its interior is a scene of flowing water, pavilions, and towers, giving it an ancient and charming feel.

It is filled with exotic flowers and plants, and under the sunlight, it is shrouded in mist, giving off a hazy and indescribable mysterious beauty, just like a fairyland.

In an attic in the center of the garden, two young men sat facing each other, one looking about twenty, the other about eighteen.

The slightly older man was wearing a red brocade robe embroidered with eight lifelike purple dragons. Although he was not handsome, his eyes were bright and he had the majesty of a superior.

The other slightly younger man looked similar to the older man and wore the same robe. The only difference was the color. His robe was blue, and the dragon embroidered on it was silver. He exuded a noble aura.

These two people were none other than the eldest prince Xu Tianran and the third prince Xu Tianshi. Behind each of them stood a powerful man with a deep aura and strong strength. For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

In this extremely solemn atmosphere, Xu Tianran remained calm and composed. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat.

Then he smiled and said to Xu Tianshi, "Third brother, ever since father became emperor, we brothers have never sat together and had tea together. I really miss this scene."

Xu Tianshi looked at Xu Tianran warily, then snorted coldly, "If you have something to say, tell me now. Did you secretly invite me here just to have tea with me? If so, I won't accompany you."

Xu Tianshi knew very well that the princes had fought overtly and covertly for the position of crown prince countless times. No matter who ascended the throne in the future, the others would definitely not have an easy time.

Besides, didn't his younger brother know what kind of character Xu Tianran had? Although he seemed to be upright, he was actually gloomy and cunning. He had to be vigilant at all times, otherwise he would fall into his trap and not even realize it.

Seeing his brother being so straightforward, Xu Tianran stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point, "Third brother, I asked you to come here to meet me because I want to cooperate with you."

Xu Tianshi couldn't help but look suspicious when he heard Xu Tianran's words, "Cooperation?"

Xu Tianran said, "That's right, it's cooperation. We work together to deal with the second brother."

Xu Tianran's expression changed from indifferent to solemn, "The second brother recently received support from the Yinghou Wang family, and now the power behind him has far surpassed ours.

If this continues, I'm afraid more people will join him, and then the position of crown prince will be his. Third brother, I guess you don't want the second brother to be the crown prince either."

When Xu Tianshi heard this, his expression became gloomy and uncertain.

Seeing that Xu Tianshi was thinking, Xu Tianran did not disturb him and waited quietly for the answer.

He knew that the third brother would definitely agree, because the relationship between the third brother and the second brother was extremely bad. If the third brother had to choose between him and the second brother to be the crown prince, then that person would undoubtedly be him!
Just as Xu Tianran was waiting quietly.

Xu Tianshi was caught in a storm of thoughts.

Xu Tianshi thought to himself, "If that bastard, the second brother, becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne, he will definitely not let me go in the future.

He will certainly humiliate me in every possible way, even to the point of wanting death. Now that the Second Brother is so powerful, I must join forces with Xu Tianran. After defeating the Second Brother, I will then wrestle with Xu Tianran to determine the crown prince position."
