Douluo Jueshi: Who made him a soul mentor?
Chapter 16 You don鈥檛 want the second child to be the crown prince, do you?
In the afternoon, Wang Chen walked home in extremely high spirits. He hadn't expected such a great harvest from this trip to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, unexpectedly obtaining news of the Gold of Life.
However, Wang Chen felt that he deserved it. As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Every time he came to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, he would use his VIP privileges to check the latest news from the Sun Moon Empire. Even if he didn't come today, he would come in a few days or next week. He would have found out about this news sooner or later. This was a reward from Heaven for those who put their heart into it.
With a happy mood, Wang Chen quickly returned to the Wang family. The first thing he did upon returning was to see the clan leader, Wang Yan.
It wasn't for anything else, just to report that he had done the task. Although Wang Chen believed that Wang Yan didn't care about the task he had given him.
However, as the person executing the task, Wang Chen had to show that he had completed the task very seriously and had tried his best when doing things.
Regardless of how perfunctory Wang Chen actually was when doing it, he had to make it sound good when reporting it. Anyway, Wang Yan was always lying on his boss's chair. Could he possibly confirm the specifics with Jing Hongchen?
Clan Leader's Main Hall.
Wang Chen bowed and saluted, saying, "Wang Chen greets the Old Ancestor. This grandson failed to complete the task you assigned. Please punish me."
Wang Yan lay on the recliner, tapping the armrest with his finger. He asked blandly, "Speak, what's going on?"
Seeing that Wang Yan didn't show any anxious or angry emotions, Wang Chen became even more certain of his guess that Wang Yan definitely didn't value this task.
Having confirmed this, Wang Chen began to perform with peace of mind.
Wang Chen said with a wronged expression, "Reporting to the Old Ancestor, this grandson originally planned to go to Meng Hongchen today to cultivate our relationship, but before I even entered the Hongchen family's territory, I was stopped by the Hongchen family's guards.
They simply wouldn't let this grandson enter the Hongchen family to meet Meng Hongchen... This grandson racked his brains and tried every means, but to no avail."
After listening to Wang Chen's words, Wang Yan revealed an "as expected" expression, as if he had already anticipated this situation.
In fact, that was indeed the case. Jing Hongchen had long been prepared for this kind of thing, preventing anyone with ulterior motives from meeting his granddaughter.
In Wang Yan's view, how could such crude tricks be useful against that old fox, Jing Hongchen? If Jing Hongchen were so stupid, how could he have climbed to his current position? How could he have such cultivation?
If he hadn't been afraid of spoiling 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 kind of trick was too stupid, and he was afraid that it would be laughed at by those old foxes.
Wang Yan said, "Alright, since the Hongchen family declines visitors, you don't have to go to the Hongchen family anymore. Go back and cultivate properly."
"Yes, this grandson takes his leave." Wang Chen cupped his hands and saluted, then slowly withdrew from the Clan Leader's Main Hall and walked towards his home.
鈥?鈥?鈥?鈥?鈥?鈥?鈥?鈥?鈥?鈥?,"At the same time, a luxurious garden on the outskirts of Mingdu.
This garden occupies hundreds of acres. From the outside, it looks extremely magnificent, but while being grand and luxurious, its interior is a scene of small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and towers, with an antique feel.
It is filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs. Under the sunlight, it is even more misty and hazy, rising with a vague, indescribable beauty of mystery, like a fairyland.
In a pavilion in the center of the garden, two young men sat facing each other.
One of the men looked to be twenty years old, and the other looked to be eighteen years old.
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 piercing, and he possessed the majesty of a superior.
The slightly younger man resembled the older man in appearance and wore the same style of robe, the only difference being the color. His robe was blue, and the dragons embroidered on it were silver, exuding an air of nobility.
These two people were none other than the First Prince, Xu Tianran, and the Third Prince, Xu Tianshi. Behind each of them stood a powerful expert with a deep aura, making the atmosphere extremely tense.
In this extremely tense atmosphere, Xu Tianran remained calm and composed, picking up the teacup on the table and taking a sip to moisten his throat.
Then, he smiled and said to Xu Tianshi, "Third Brother, since Father became Emperor, we brothers have never had a good time sitting together and drinking tea. This scene really makes me miss it."
Xu Tianshi looked at Xu Tianran warily, then snorted coldly, "Speak quickly if you have something to say. Could it be that you secretly invited me here just to drink tea with me? If so, I won't keep you company."
Xu Tianshi knew very well that they, the princes, had fought openly and secretly for the position of Crown Prince countless times. No matter who ascended the throne in the future, the others would definitely not have a good time.
Moreover, as his younger brother, how could he not know what kind of person Xu Tianran was? Although he seemed open and upright, he was actually scheming, cunning, and ruthless. He had to be constantly vigilant and cautious, otherwise, he would fall into his trap without even realizing it.
Seeing that his brother was so straightforward, Xu Tianran stopped beating around the bush and being evasive. He said bluntly, "Third Brother, the reason I invited you here this time is to cooperate with you."
Hearing Xu Tianran's words, Xu Tianshi couldn't help but reveal a suspicious look, "Cooperate?"
Xu Tianran said, "That's right, cooperate. We will cooperate to deal with the Second Brother together."
Xu Tianran's expression changed from the original calmness to solemnity, "The Second Brother recently received the support of the Yinghou Wang family. Now, the power behind him has far surpassed ours.
If this continues, I am afraid that more people will defect to him, and the position of Crown Prince will be his. Third Brother, I believe you don't want the Second Brother to be the Crown Prince, do you?"
Hearing this, Xu Tianshi's expression became gloomy and uncertain.
Seeing that Xu Tianshi was thinking, Xu Tianran didn't interrupt and quietly waited 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 one of them to be the Crown Prince, then that person would undoubtedly be him!
Just as Xu Tianran was waiting quietly.
Xu Tianshi fell into a storm of thought.
Xu Tianshi thought to himself, "If that bastard Second Brother becomes the Crown Prince and ascends the throne, he will definitely not let me go in the future.
He will inevitably humiliate me in every possible way, making it difficult even to die. Now that the Second Brother is powerful, I must join forces with Xu Tianran. After defeating the Second Brother, I will compete with Xu Tianran to determine the position of Crown Prince."
